Was flicking through the channels just a minute ago and saw two reports that Michael Jackson was dead. tmz broke the news but there has yet to be an official statement.

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.

We're told one of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.

LaToya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Yup, looks like it.

Sky and Reuters both named TMZ as their source. They'll look like idiots if it's not true, so the must be fairly sure that TMZ is right.

RIP Michael Jackson.

They must be fairly sure alright - not nice to hear but I guess that's the way it goes ... that said I take it we all get the money back for the concert in the 02.
