Pop icon Michael Jackson has died after suffering from a cardiac arrest in the early afternoon of 25th June 2009.
TMZ were the first to publish news of Jackson's death, hours before any other news body would risk confirming.
It is said that Michael was already dead when paramedics arrived at his Holmby Hills home. He was rushed to UCLA Medical Center.
TMZ also collated some celebrity twitter reactions.
Back in December 2008 author Ian Halperin caused a stir when he claimed in his Jackson biography that the singer was "seriously ill" and was "fighting for his life".

Christian Bale - The Dark Nut!
Most people will have heard all about Dark Knight actor, Christian Bale's raging rant on the set of Terminator Salvation.
And quite rightly, he has been catching some flak for acting like a violent, spoiled brat. Even though he has since apologised saying:
"I know I have a pottymouth, everybody knows that now. I have no confusion whatsoever. I was out of order beyond belief ... I acted like a punk"
One wonders how often and bad, unrecorded/unreported attacks are allowed to go on, when directed at 'replaceable' people by the 'big star' of any film or TV show.
Interestingly, it was the film execs that sent the audio tape to the insurance company that had insured the film. Just in case Bale did go A.W.O.L.
Of course celebrity rants make for good parodies and there seems to be endless comedic takes on the event. The reliable celeb bashing, Family Guy, has of course recently aired an episode where Peter Griffin is the poor sap on the receiving end of the bawling Bale. The clip has been pulled from YouTube, but (at the moment of writing) TMZ still has the clip if you missed it.
But even Marvel Comics has jumped in with an episode of their new online video series, 'Marvel Super Heroes: What the --?!'
Of which the first episode doesn't even go online until early spring. but obviously the Bale rant was too good to pass up.
Also check out just for the hell of it: RevoLucian's Christian Bale Remix - BALE OUT.
It's quite catchy, but don't blame me if you start accidentally singing in to yourself while going about your daily life. Haha

Boy George jailed for 15 months!
Boy George jailed for 15 months - Imprisoner becomes imprisoned.Former Culture Club lead singer and current DJ, Boy George (real name George O'Dowd) has been jailed for 15 months.
The 47-year-old was charged with falsely imprisoning a male escort (Audun Carlsen) whom he met via Gay social networking site Gaydar.com.
Judge David Radford said the singer was guilty of "gratuitous violence", after it was alleged that Mr Carlsen was whipped with a chain.
O'Dowd handcuffed Mr Carlsen to a wall, refusing to let him go, believing him to of hacked into O'Dowd's computers. So now the imprisoner has become imprisoned - some might say that is karma (chameleon).

Eartha Kitt dies aged 81
Earth Kitt as Catwoman in the 1960s Batman TV seriesThe actress, singer and all out sultry sex symbol Earth Kitt died of cancer on Christmas day aged 81.
Ironically, one of the things she is most famous for is the original recording of "Santa Baby" in 1953.
The actress has played many parts, but for most people her feline movement and purring speech made her the ultimate and 'purr'-fect catwoman. A part she filled in the 1960s Batman series.
Eartha Kitt's career spanned six decades and her life story can make for some sad reading.
