Behind the Screen: Michael Jackson Dead

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

I am watching the news right now. he is really gone...

Michael Jackson Dead

iMichael ·
According to TMZ he was rushed to the hospital earlier and suffered a cardiac arrest. R.I.P. Michael. He is one man who certainly left his mark on American history. http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/25/michael-jackson-dies-death-dead-cardiac-arrest/

Well, Perez is saying he's dead, so it's obviously true. LA Times has reported he's dead. I'd say that's pretty reliable.
Dartagnan#19
Screw Perez. He should not be allowed to write on anybody's death.

This is so sad. Like Dart said, bad things always seem to come in 3's. RIP Ed, Farrah and Michael. You all made your mark on the world and I hope you all find peace now.

They say celebrities die in 3 and this seems to confirm that. RIP Michael. A true legend. :(

I am a bit torn with Michael. While it is sad that he has passed, I saw him as nothing more than a creepy sideshow for the last 15 years. Probably the biggest fall from grace in the history of entertainment. The King of Pop to where he was before he died.
Dartagnan#25
Really B? WIth all things aside the man was good, and a musical genius/legend. I personally just put aside all antics.

But like you said he was, and I think still is, the King of Pop. He may have had some heavy stuff happen to and around him, but he did still leave his mark on this world as a musical genius.

What a huge loss! :( And on the same day as Farrah Fawcett.

On CBS News they just showed the clips of him talking about how having young boys in his bed was natural. I think that is a bit more then I am willing to put aside. When I was young, he was the man. I loved his albums. He was number one in my book and I worshiped him. Now when I look back at it, something feels tainted and wrong.

Unfortunately, I completely agree with you on that. In fact, I always thought he was falsley aquitted of those charges a few years ago...

As of 11 minutes ago, CNN is also reporting his death.

IDK all kookiness, antics and accusations aside, he was a musical genius who's impact on America was immeasurable. Whether I think he was guilty or not doesn't matter anymore, I am sad for his family and children.
