A day after the great musician’s death, his friends remember him fondly and express grief at his death.

“I can’t stop crying over the sad news,” Madonna says. “I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless.”

Lisa Marie Presley, who was married to Jackson from 1994 to 1996, says, “I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children, who I know were everything to him, and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me.”

“We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music but of all music,” Justin Timberlake, who was clearly influenced by Jackson, wrote on his Web site. “He has been an inspiration to multiple generations, and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.”

Farrah Fawcett, a 1970s sex symbol and TV star of “Charlie’s Angels,” spent almost three years in private fighting for her life against cancer. But shortly before her battle ended, she allowed the public an intimate and inspiring look inside.

Fawcett, 62, died Thursday morning at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, after being diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006.

On Thursday, Fawcett was with Ryan O’Neal, her longtime companion who returned to her side when she became ill. He is the father of her 24-year-old son, Redmond.

This month, O’Neal said he asked Fawcett to marry him and she agreed. They would wed “as soon as she can say yes,” he said, but it never happened.

“Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world,” O’Neal said in a statement.

CelebGossipNet offers its condolences to her family and friends, on a day when the creative world lost two stalwarts of the last century.

Rest In Dance, Michael Jackson

He brought us music and dance masterpieces like ‘Dangerous’, ‘Black and White’, ‘Beat It’, ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Thriller’ and many more! But he won’t be able to do it anymore.

Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop” who once moonwalked above the music world, died Thursday as he prepared for a comeback bid to vanquish nightmare years of sexual scandal and financial calamity.

Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.

“It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known,” his brother Jermaine said. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.

The 50 year old Jackson’s death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music’s premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

CelebGossipNet offers condolences to his family, friends and fans alike - may his soul rest in peace! Or, as he would prefer - Rest in Dance, MJ!
