For sure. They always seem to go in three - Ed McMahon, Farrah and
Michael - all icons in their own right.
What a week.

I know, MJ 'was' married to Lisa Marie Presley wasn''t he?
I never watch the news, but it is really wierd thaat Michael died just hours
after Farrah passed away.
Hollywood and the rest of the world is in a state of grief right now.

Farrah had a long battle with cancer. Michael came as a complete surprise
(at least to me).

His death came as quite a surprise to a lot of people. Before his
death was confirmed, one of the stories mentioned that he had been
through an extensive physical before anyone would back his planned
tour.

I honestly don't know what to think of him as a person, but really
do feel he was someone the world used up and threw away. He was
such an adorable child.

Wonder if Lisa Marie will bury his remains near Elvis on the grounds
of Graceland,
creating another Memphis cash cow.Two celeb gravesites with one visit.


LOL As if she needs more money ;)

I wouldn't thumb my nose at the cash cow. It was Priscilla's shrewd
business sense that, starting with
opening Graceland to the public, increased Lisa Marie's inheritance
from $5 million to over $100 million.
As Lisa Marie grew up, she also became very involved in Elvis Presley
Enterprises -- which supports
many charities, provides scholarships, and supports a program for free
housing for the homeless.
A $95 million dollar increase in assets from the time Priscilla became
co-executor, and later Lisa became
sole owner of Graceland. She's created quite an empire for *her*
children to inherit. Instead of moving
in Daddy's house and partying off what was left with Daddy's money.

I was surprised- the news broke over here in London about 11.30pm- I'd
just had a truly splendid evening of role playing (For anyone who
understands my PC took out a shadow troll with 3 hits- 2 of them
natural 20's and 2 of them max damage tripled! For those who don't
have the foggiest- I'd just had a very good time) which had started
with a very good meal and I was getting my cab back (economy drive is
one thing but 2 of my friends have been mugged walking the 10 minutes
or so to the station and in one case a knife was produced. There have
been several knife murders in Plaistow and I have no wish to be the
next one!) and the driver turned up the radio, I was about to ask him
not to when I realised what news he was listening to,,,,

Finally one paper has spotted the thing that puzzles me. Jackson's
doctor was there, supposedly a cardiologist but the transcript of the
call to the ambulance the caller mentions MJ is lying on the bed and
the doc is doing CPR.

Now I'm not up on first aid through I know at least one other person
here is but even I know you can't do CPR on a bed so what was that
about?

Or a hospital bed- when my mum was in hospital she wanted to know what
the "CPR" setting on her bed control meant...alas she found out but
the actual words were that MJ was on a bed and some reports are saying
he was found in bed so that makes me think the doc found him
unresponsive and started CPR on an ordinary bed. He wasn't in a gym

Early reports in the UK, from TMZ Newswire, reported that he had
slipped in the shower. That would explain the brace. However,
that wasn't confirmed by subsequent reports.

True, it's a money-making cash cow for Lisa Marie. But Graceland is NOT in
a good area of Memphis. The tourists don't realize this. I wouldn't go to
Whitehaven if you paid me.

CPR should be performed on a hard, flat surface. I don't understand the
doctor doing that on the bed, either.

Agreed BUT - a cardiologist would know that and could probably
compensate for the soft surface with stronger thrusts (in an emergency).

<shrug> I saw places in Memphis that looked much seedier than the
Graceland area.
And by definition, since a cash cow is a business that produces steady
income to
fund other investments, I suppose you're right. Graceland supports not
only Lisa Marie,
but many charities as well. (and it's not bad revenue for the City of
Memphis either, I'm sure)
