32. I have no idea who the heck Roddy Piper is, but I sincerely thank him for getting a DUI and thereby having ONE story on TMZ that is not MJ related.

33. Wait a minute TMZ, was a cousin of MJ's involved? a parent? honestly is there a TMZ story that doesn't have MJ in it? perhaps he was drinking because he was so sad about MJ's passing?

35. He *deserves* to be busted - for taking up valuable MJ space on this-here website. This is an outrage.

36. Who gives a flying f.u.c.k. about other "celebs"? Michael Jackson is /the/ news at the moment and deserves all the coverage. All you losers waiting to find out if Lindsay Lohan has been knocking on Sam Ronson's vag door at 3am again will have to wait.

MJ is dead, bury him and lets move on...

We have heard Way tooo much already tring to hide the fact that he was Just another Junkie who OD'd

If it was a white guy we would have heard a little the day he dies and that would it.

wait... mj was white, well he tried to be white....I wonder why he hated being black...
ever notice he never had black kds at Neverland....

38. It's about time TMZ starts reporting on something other than MJ. Pretty soon you are gonna have to change this site from TMZ to TMJ.

42. To #37

Yes he is dead and I agree he needs to just be buried, his family left in peace to their own business and move on. But, the fans would really like to know, what happened. Whether it is he did od, or if it was foul play, or accidental, or whatever. Point being, once that's provided, his fans will always be curious and depend on TMZ to provide us with that information. Eventually it will all die down, as everything does. So until then, if people aren't interested in how TMZ is running their website, they can always go somewhere else. It's very clear, that they are focused on MJ news, so it's obvious if you are TIRED of the MJ news, to go somewhere else. It's as simple as typing in another website, instead of TMZ. Everything will calm down eventually and come back to normal, but we lost a very HUGE, influential individual in our society. And a lot of people are just curious to know what happened and what's going on, as we're unfortunately not able to get this kind of information without coming to such a website like TMZ.

Honestly, if I was one of those complaining about too much MJ news on TMZ, I would just not visit the website, until all the MJ hype has died down.
