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

Pretty sad.

OMG! I didn't expect that one...

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.

There is NO online confirmation but New Zealand Police are reporting that Jeff Goldblum has fallen to his death on the set of his new movie.
Thats from a quick google but none of the sites are opening, all are 500 internal server errors.

Hope it aint true.

Interesting...
Bing reports not one hit on "Jeff Goldblum dies in New Zealand"
Google reports lots!
If indeed it turns out to be false, I'd say +1 for Bing.
On the other hand.....
