Celebrity Death Quake Rocks LA!

From Twitter to Facebook to TMZ, everyone has been aflutter with the back-to-back triple punches of "Black Thursday in LA": the deaths of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and, let's not forget Ed McMahon (about a day prior).

And no one can figure out why someone started the rumor that Jeff Goldblum died on a film set in New Zealand (and that Harrison Ford had also died or gone missing). I just heard that Kevin Spacey, of all people, took it upon himself to call Goldblum's manager who confirmed the actor was alive and in LA. The New York Daily News has the full story on the Snopes.

Anyone who was out and about in LA last night remarked on the bounty of Michael Jackson tunes wafting from the DJ speakers. I myself was at a media event at Halo in Hollywood and the mood was strangely upbeat as songs from the King of Pop were on heavy rotation. Just down the street on Hollywood Blvd., the Bruno movie was premiering. I heard on CNN that the Walk of Fame star for Michael Jackson (the talk show host) lay beneath a red carpet for the event, but that that didn't stop Michael Jackson (the King of Pop) fans from putting candles and flowers on top of it.

Today, Us is reporting that Jackson told former wife Lisa-Marie Presley that he was afraid of ending up like Elvis. Spooky.
