First it was Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett and finally number three–Michael Jackson?!?!

We all expected Ed McMahon (he was in his late 80’s and not in good health), and Farrah Fawcett was playing a waiting game with her cancer. But Michael Jackson? As it turns out he, too, was playing a waiting game with his health. He was anorexic, on all kinds of painkillers for various problems, and still was preparing for a comeback world tour. He was said to be stressing his body to the max, doing numerous rehearsals every day at Staples Center. But we didn’t know all these details. Or at least most of us didn’t know.

And so tonight the death of Farrah Fawcett is being overshadowed by Michael Jackson’s death. Kinda sad for her family.
