Is Michael Jackson really dead?

Tell me Internet! TMZ says you are.
Am I jaded for thinking that this could be elaborate hoax?
How could Farrah and Michael die on the same day? Incidentally, I heard an NPR obit on Farrah this morning that made me really sad. It painted a less-than glamourous picture of her acting roles and for my money, she’ll always have glamour. Or at least the allure of one of the most iconic pin-up pics of all time. Plus a pleasant splash of crazy.
As for Michael, I don’t know what to say–it’s so hard to believe that someone whose life was so surreal and baroque would be constrained by something as pedestrian as heart-disease.
May all those kooky, crazy, famous and just plain old normal folks who passed out this realm today Rest In Peace.

Er: understatement of the year award goes to Fox news: “His star power has faded considerably since then, partly because of allegations of child molestation.”
