I was very sad to hear about Farrah. But in response to the CNN comment.

Michael Jackson changed the world. He was the KING OF POP. The man who replaced Elvis in pop music. He was a cultural icon for forty years. He had the biggest music album ever recorded. We watched his life unfold; he was the first, and probably only, person we saw grow up in a world of scrutiny and fame from age, what, 5 until he died today.

I can't believe it. No disrespect to Farrah Fawcett and I was equally yelly and freaked out when my mother woke me up and told me the two had died this evening BUT it's like covering the death of, well, Michael Jackson, instead of, say, a sex icon of the 1970's who did a mildly successful 1990's film with Chevy Chase and that kid from home improvement. Michael is simply a MUCH bigger story.

I still can't believe it.
