Michael Jackson truly was a superstar when it came to his music and entertainment. It was truly a shame that he was clearly a freak and his personal life was outrageous. It's unfortunate that this behavior will surely outweigh his talent in terms of music with the newer generation that only saw him as the clown that he was. Farrah was a bit before my day and I never really knew much about her besides the fact that she was seen to be a sex symbol in the 70's by many of the population. Can't say I know anything more about her than that. Sexted From My iPad | |

Man, this sucks. I really don't give a shit about anyone's personal life, but being a celebrity, they sadly had no choice. It seems we can't wait for someone to become really famous just so we can knock them down. They are both missed. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Since it's not polite to speak ill of the deceased then I will simply say that Micheal Jackson was at one time one of the most popular singer in the world. His music marked a generation. I'm old enough to have enjoyed Farrah when she was a sex symbol. Who remembers that she was married to the 6 million dollar man? Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Guys my age will fondly remember the Farrah craze and recall to mind that famous line from Steve Martin: "Farrah Fawcett-Majors has never called me once. And after all the time I've spent holding up her poster with one hand" ! | |

While Farrah had her weird moments - as do we all - I remember watching her melt-down drugged-out Letterman appearance - just happened to be watching that night - the thing that mainly struck me was that she wasn't willing to settle for just being a sex symbol and did some really courageous work to bust out of that pigeon-hole - and I really respect her for that - and certainly her fight against cancer was deeply courageous. Michael J - made some astoundingly great music - bold, joyful, adventurous - and had a deeply fucked up life. He was an example of how high and how low the same human being can go. RIP | |

Since I don't allow myself to be bound by the constraints of being politically correct, I have to say that the world is a better place without the likes of Michael Jackson in it. Was he talented? Yeah... A great performer. But, whatever it was that plunged him into the world he created for himself is no excuse for doing the things he did. As might be expected, there are a lot of online conversations and arguments going on about MJ now and I've been told that, because he was a United States citizen, he was innocent until proven guilty. But, as I see it, admitting to sleeping with children would've had anyone else locked up. Stupid acts like swinging your infant child over a balcony would've had your child taken away from you by the authorities. Celebrity shouldn't buy you special rights. Farrah, on the other hand, I'll remember fondly. Like JD said, people my age will always remember what she meant to the 70s and 80s. (Yeah, I had that poster, too) With cancer having done it's deed so often in my own family, my heart goes out to her family and those close to her. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

Yes, I remember watching Charlies Angels on TV all the way through just to get glimpses of Farrah (and Jaclyn Smith) in their bikinis. It was a very different time. No internet porn. No one even had an email address. I can't remember if we even had ATMs around when that show came out. I had a horse to ride to school ... well, that's going too far. ;) I never bought the Farrah poster, but all I had to do was go out to shopping areas and it was everywhere, so I could gawk on the cheap. It was very sexy and even provocative for the time. Farrah got pigeonholed as a bimbo and I didn't think it was fair. Even doing a "woman in peril" role as a domestic abuse victim wasn't much of a reach. I think she was shortchanged by the ineptitude of the "star system." And now, Michael Jackson. Had the Thriller album drilled into my brain, but it was a great popular record. MJ was hugely talented, but in his later life he became very strange. I'd rather just remember him for his great music and leave the rest to the tabloid media, which I pretty much ignore. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

It's funny what a big deal that poster was---but it really was. For a teenage boy it was :) http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/2/97/a...0.0.0x0.304x423.jpeg Edited on Jun 25, 2009, 11:37pm | |

Well, I am glad that Farrah gets a bit of time and recognition in this forum. As far as the media are concerned there was only one story yesterday and that was Michael Jackson. | |

My favorite Farrah Fawcett movie: Sunburn with Charles Grodin. My second favorite movie: Saturn 3. It's not a bad science fiction movie and it has one of her rare topless scenes. For us who had a major crush on her that was a treat. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

She agreed that being a woman in peril wasn't the greatest reach - she did a lot of other interesting work as well that was neither sex symbol nor women in peril. If I weren't such a lazy fuck, I'd go find the descriptions that I saw yesterday - but I am. | |

Never heard about Farrah Fawcett until she died. I don't think she's really pretty though. But I guess with the lack of Internet, every woman is considered pretty. I'm not a major fan of Michael Jackson, but his songs are very good; actually bought a few yesterday. | |

It's true that her popularity is going back to the 80's but it's still strange that you have never heard of her. She was often typecasted as a bit of a dumb blond but somehow she was able to appear smarter than the role might have required. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Well I may have heard her name somewhere, maybe in some gossip magazines or something. But charly angels was never broadcasted here in Holland (I think). At least I never saw it. | |

Personally, I am sick of the endless coverage of Michael Jackson. I know the news constantly overdoes their coverage, but this is getting ridiculous. We also lost Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays, and Ed McMahon, but the coverage is negligible. My biggest gripe, however, is that this is pop news, not real news.There are many other much more important events going on in the world. Some of what has been said is just off the charts crazy. The Jackson family issued a statement on Saturday saying that Michael would have wanted us all to continue spreading his message. What message is that? Most of his songs have no social point to them, except a few sound like the ravings of someone who is overly sensitive with some touches of paranoia. I am sick of his father making public statements like his death was so sudden. It was predictable based on the family not monitoring his health. When were any of them involved as he was getting more and more addicted? On Saturday I saw an interview from a few years ago where his brother Jermaine said he was close to him. Really? Larry King asked if he was helping his brother with his music, his concert tours, or his personal or medical problems. The answer was no. But we are to agree they were close. Ridiculous. The medical examiner said he was 112 pounds when he died. Wouldn't his close family notice he was getting sickly? Michael said repeatedly and publicly that his father abused him. Now that he is gone, is that all forgiven and forgotten? | |

I have to agree with the coverage and so on. They did the same thing when Anna Nicole Smith died (I think it was full 24/7 coverage for 1 week straight) and she did absolutely nothing to contribute to society or in general at all. So, it's obvious that this is going to happen, this is what the news in the USA has become. All the true horrible and important world news and state wide stuff is overshadowed by celebs and what they ate and wore to lunch or politicians saying something stupid at a speech. It's better to just ignore the mass media and their news stories and seek out information on your own from different sources. However, it is a shame but it will not change. As far as Michael Jackson goes and your question about message. I do believe that this is more of his contributions and efforts outside of his music, rather than the message within his music which was purely and straightforward pop music entertainment. While some of his songs were made for a better purpose, most of them were simple but awesome dance and pop tunes. As far as his contributions to charities and so on, I don't know how much he did this to just help his image and as a publicity ploy (which many stars are doing nowadays, give a little and now your not a arrogant prick). But, deep down I do believe he had psychological problems that were obviously never properly treated and led to his unfortunate events in the late 80's and so on. But, I do think his intentions were based out of good will in his efforts for helping and contributing to peace, diversity, etc. However, do I think they were worth a legacy? No. With all that debt and extravagance, it's obvious his 'good' intentions should be overshadowed by an obvious struggle to have everything instead of living humble which he wanted to promote. As far as his family goes, it's obvious that this is a dysfunctional and awkward bunch since the kids got older. They all appear to be a bit quirky when it comes to normalcy and I can almost imagine how strange the majority of them are in real life. If they were truly concerned from the beginning, would they not help him once he started looking absolutely absurd in the late 80's and 90's. It's quite obvious he was not getting the help from anyone that he needed. While he could be stubborn and not wanted it or even pushed his own family away, of course they are going to be supportive in the next few days of his death. You have to do something extremely horrible to your family to not have them mourn at all. While it may be predictable that something was going to happen, not all people accept help or want it; I think this is an obvious case. It was a downright treadmill down a mountain for years with him and I'm surprised he lasted this long. Sexted From My iPad | |

Very well put, mbaya and GCode! It's a small consolation, but heartening just the same, knowing I'm not the only one who sees that we in the U.S. definitely have our priorities in the wrong places. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

if you like Farrah, i'd recommend watching Stanley Donen's Saturn 3. i saw it when i was a kid and was blown away by her gorgeousness. I was captivated by her, like when a i saw Raquel Welch's pictures in a late seventies issue of playboy that my father left in our living-room. I dug the movie a lot, but i must warn you, i read lots of negative reviews of the flick in amazon. If memory serves me well, you can see Farrah in the nudie for a nanosecond, and, kirk Douglas and Harvey keitel are not a bad "supporting" cast. I'm gonna order the movie.
