OMG, what is with all these celebrities dying all of the sudden? I guess it's true when they say celebrities die in three's.
Pretty sad.

OMG! I didn't expect that one...
MORE from the BBC...
Pop star Michael Jackson has been rushed to hospital in Los Angeles, with several US reports saying he has died. Paramedics were called to the singer's home around midday local time after he suffered a suspected cardiac arrest.
He was rushed by ambulance to a medical centre, with reports from several US media outlets saying the 50-year-old star has died.
Michael Jackson had been due to begin a series of comeback concerts in the UK in on 13 July.
He has a history of health problems and has not completed a concert tour in 12 years.
US media reports say paramedics were called to the singer's house in Bel Air at midday.
They performed CPR on Jackson and rushed him to the UCLA medical centre.
Crowds have begun to gather outside the facility, whose emergency centre has been roped off by police.
Jackson began his career as a child in family group The Jackson 5.
He then went on to achieve global fame as a solo artist with smash hits such as "Thriller" and "Bad".
But the singer has been dogged by controversy and money trouble in recent years, becoming a virtual recluse.
Shocking really.
All i'm gonna say is RIP to all of them, i'm getting torn to pieces for Jacko jokes on facebook so i won't migrate them to here....
This is unconfirmed, but there are reports that actor Jeff Goldblum has also died while filming in New Zealand
I hope it's not true
Bl**dy hell i hope not, i like his movies. Can't find anything mentioning it though
Funny thing is it was only the other day I remarked how i've not seen anything recent with him in, that was while watching Jurassic Park: The Lost World
I retract my last statement . apologies to all.
