16. Michael was my imaginary boyfriend when I was a teen. I had posters all over my wall of him. I even pretended I was Ola Ray rolling up my paints and practicing walking next to my boyfriend:^) I'm 38 now and still love him. I cried when I learned of this loss. Rest in peace my dear, job well done.

Love you Michael................ Forever!

18. It would mean a lot to the fans if there was a public memorial. It is needed. We need to be able to both say goodbye and show the family love at this time. My thoughts and prayers go out to those planning such a hard and sad task.

19. Enough already! He is dead, it's done. We don't need blow by blow coverage over the child molester.

Where is the blow by blow detail over Farrah Fawcett?? Right, she didn't molest boys so she isn't as important I guess.

I think TMZ is now owned by the Jackson family.

21. This is DAD, GOD ALMIGHTY YAHWEH forever, no matter what you think. I had to contact you there for this vital info can not rest and is soring whether you sore it or not, don't need you actually for the truth to spread, not any more. Now the thing is this; Michael was attempted murder, and heres how, (for I see all), and plus they won't get away with it!, now what happened is this; he called for an ambulance, but instead he got pretenders, dressed in makeup and everything, for they had long over due made this plan to get rid of the pop King Yunior, long before they had drained his assets, that was another one of their plots, but this time they had planned to kill him but not before gaining his property and funds, which they did get but I'll put a stop to it all now, For he is up here with me alive and well, that is a look alike, oh yeah they go the nine yards, got it from the wqx museum. They sucked what life they did, from him and then pretended to be rescuing him by administering cpr, it was them who pulled his oxygen, not apply it to him, find out more on your own, shalom, DAD, God YAHWEH and Medium Sarai

22. Rumor mill and some biographer says Michael had hundreds of unreleased songs that were to come out after his death "for his children" ( to provide for them?) and he had an album due out in august. Is there any truth to that? It would be a brilliant move, imagine if there were more Elvis songs...that conversation remix enjoyed some play time how many years after his death? I hope they can come to the best decision for themselves and Michaels legacy regarding his funeral and I hope someone with some business sense and foresight gets a hold of these unreleased songs if they exist.

25. Go getum Joe, let them know they have messed with the wrong family. Just because Michael Jackson once had a presciption drug problem doesnt mean he was abusing drugs June 25, 2009. Every celebritiy is not and will not die like the media cashcows Anna Nicole and Elvis. I too believe Michael Jackson was Murdered. I believe he was given succinycholine which caused paralysis, no Mr. Coroner there would be no "external trauma". Then I believe Michael Jackson was slowed killed by continuing to inject him with large dosages of Morphine and Demerol. The 911 call speaks volumes Operator - is he on the bed or floor? Caller - he is on the FLOOR, what Doctor or Nurse know to do CPR on a Cardiac Patient on the floor its not like he weighed 200lbs and couldnt be moved, Operator - is there any witness to what happened? Caller - no, the Doctor was the ONLY one HERE with him. Why would someone have to walk in on this and call 911, I believe because Michael Jackson was already DEAD and the doctor knew and was only pretending to do CPR when he heard someone coming. Miko Brandon on Larry King said he was with Michael Jackson until 1230am and Michael looked good, was rehersing, taking care of business, drinking orange juice and happy. TMZ already reports Paramedics wanted to call him dead at his home, and why isnt Debbie Rowe being question if this turns into a custody case this is MOTIVE for Murder in any other city in America. I say go Joe and you have many surporting you, yes it was a Drug Overdose no doubt but some of us believe it was a Drug Overdose Murder. Media doing everything not to go there because as smart as they are they have to at least consider there is more to this, even on the Doctor's behavior alone calls for a Criminal Investigation, how many people that once or still may have done drugs be murdered and all media, cops and coroners want to say is "Accidental", people are using their Drug dependance to murder these people, who couldnt see Anna Nicole was Murdered she probably was being injected in her sleep. Murder is still Murder. I ask any Coroner or anyone else how do you prove Self Injected or Murder by someone else in a Drug Overdose unless you where there to witness the lethal injection, Mr. Joe Jackson and Family please fight this and bring light to the negligence of Police work and Coroners office allowing people to committ MURDER! How in the world if Michael was such a Junkie train, dance, perform like he did on DRUGS, people are really playing into this media hype. If Michael was such a Junkie, Michael would have been walking around and talking just like the people they are trying to identify him with Elvis and Anna Nicole and we all know how Elvis and Anna Nicole behaved dont we.

26. TMZ, wanted to thank you for your attention to the Jackson passing.

Thanks for keeping us up to date with up to date information.

We absolutely loved Michael and despite the many cronies he had around him, we'll continue to remember his grace and art as the best pop entertainer of all time.

Thank you Michael for keeping music through your lyrics, and your style alive and free.

27. The greedy Witnesses of Jehva cult wants to get their hands on Michael's money?
It should all go to his 3 kids, and the kids should be raised by their respective mothers.
What would 3 white kids want with black "grandparents" they're not related to.

28. To the Jackson Family - I wish to extend my deepest sympathies. It's hard enough losing someone when you expect it.... it's dreadful losing someone when it is very unexpected. If I had the opportunity to offer advice as a friend I would imagine if you are thinking of a private funeral this could cause a lot of upset amongst the many people who loved him for what he was... a true Artist with great talent. A public funeral where people can pay their respects I can just imagine how difficult that could be to cope with, however, as the years go on for you all "without Michael" I would imagine that you will take great pride, joy and comfort from seeing the send off your son & brother truly deserves... considering the pain he must have been suffering at differing times in his life. I think he would like to "go out in style - as the true showman he was". I hope this opinion will be considered...however, if Michael has left any specific requests these too should be honoured.
With much love A X (Ireland)

29. I believe we can all do our remembering. Communities around the word can have their own memorial in their way. It could be a candelight walk or an outdoor street dance to celebrate the immense talent Michael shared with us. I do not believe the family "owes" us any kind of public memorial. The family deserves our respect for their privacy. We have lost a musical genuis - they have lost a son, a brother, a father, a member of the family. They deserve to grieve in their own private manner, not in the manner dictated by the public.

30. From The Matthew Shepard Foundation-
“The Matthew Shepard Foundation was surprised to learn this morning via media reports that blogger Perez Hilton has announced plans to donate, to our organization, the proceeds of a lawsuit…
We had no advance notice or contact from Mr. Hilton or his representatives regarding this proposal, nor any communication since he posted this plan to his website.
We do not know the details of the lawsuit, whether it has been filed, the nature of his claims or the likely outcome. But because the lawsuit presumably involves the physical attack prompted by Mr. Hilton’s admitted use of an anti-gay slur, the Foundation will be unable to accept any funds obtained in such a manner.
…we also feel compelled to point out that use of epithets can often lead to physical violence, as it appears it may have in this case, and that the Matthew Shepard Foundation has worked for more than 10 years to bring to people’s attention the consequences of hateful or intolerant language.”
