I suppose we need a thread to talk about the breaking news that pop star Michael Jackson was rushed to UCLA Medical Center with “cardiac arrest.” No definitive word on his condition as I write this...

TMZ reports that Jackson has died:
We’ve just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.
