    You think so? 3 hours ago it was reported on that site, and they STILL can't confirm it?

    Its a weird one...all of a sudden the "TMZ.COM" bit is back on the sky news channel! It was off for a few mins!

    Edit: CNN tv channel: Michael Jackson Hospitalized...no mention of being dead!

    Trust me, that's all sky have to go on.

    TMZ.com and "Latoya Jackson".
    Neither of which are credible sources.

    It's been on TMZ 3 hours? That casts some doubt alright.

    If it's true then the internet may break tonight.

    Sky's credibility went out the window 20 minutes ago, sorry.
    I'm going with CNN for the time being, Coma seems more likely, it wouldn't take three hours if he was dead.

    One of the greatest performers ever. I can't believe he didn't die years ago though when he was really sick.

    Thriller is still the greatest album ever.

    Biggest news story of the year this is. Papers will be full of it tomorrow.

    I think the first album I ever had was a compilation album of his that my parents got me. I remember I loved his 'Earth Song' as a kid.

    At his peak he was one of the greatest.

    Agreed...I think everyone has a Jackson song in their list of all time favourites (whether or they admit it is another thing!)

    Can we have a ban on inappropriate jokes on this topic? People have already started to post them in other forums.

    ABC is in my head for the rest of the week i think.
