Michael Jackson is the most famous person in the WORLD. He is going to draw attention when he dies.

I really hope Swayze pulls through, but I suspect his passing is just around the corner. A&E canceled a 2nd season for the Beast, probably due to Swayze's condition. I doubt he is in any shape to film a 2nd season.

You have my comment completely out of context. Never said MJ wasn't a freak, in any case this is not the MJ thread. Pull your head out of your ***, and if you feel like it, read up a little on Carradine. His ex-wives have some interesting things to say about him.
