I will forever remember my brother's poster of the famous Farrah in bathing suit......with that sexy smile.

Is MJ actually dead? All I heard was rushed to hospital, not breathing, possible cardiac arrest.

Apparently one of the paramedics did a spot-on impression of Vincent Price, which caused MJ to sit up and then start dancing around the ambulance...

I'm not sure of being eclipsed by the death of Jackson is a blessing or a curse for Farrah's memory. Given her cause of death, was, well, not exactly glamorous, I'll go with blessing.

hypothetical:

If Michael Jackson were on "Dancing with the Stars" would he win? Assuming he was still alive.

Farrah Fawcet died and went to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, St Peter asked her, "If we can grant you 1 wish, what would it be?"

She t hought a moment and said, "Well,I have everything I could want here in heaven, so I'd like to make the world a safer place for all the children I've left behind there."

So they killed Michael Jackson.

RE: 9

I'm still trying to find out more about Mays. He was on a plane that had trouble and he was hit in the head by overhead luggage and he gave an interview after landing. Wondering if that caused his death with the brain swelling???

Latest on Mays was they thought it was a heart attack as well, I think--nothing to do with the plane flight.

They say celebs die in threes. Leave it to Billy Mays to throw in one extra, COMPLETELY FREE!

Pitchman extraordinaire Billy Mays died from a pulmonary embolism, according to the coroner in Tampa, Fla., who announced preliminary autopsy results at a press conference Monday. Evidence of heart disease was also found.

According to Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vernard Adams, Mays "had an enlarged heart, a thickening of the wall of the ventricle which takes blood to the heart." Final results of the autopsy and cause of death will not be known for several weeks.

Mays, 50, the bearded man with the booming voice best known for his ubiquitous OxiClean ads died in his sleep in his Florida home over the weekend.

On Saturday, Mays was aboard a U.S. Airways flight that had a rough landing in Tampa. Mays told a TV crew that he bumped his head in the landing, fueling speculation that a possible injury could have lead to his untimely death. But the coroner says there was no evidence of head trauma. Internal and external injuries also did not exist.

Add Billy Mays to the list - he used cocaine to illegally enhance his enthusiasm.

An official autopsy report released Friday found that cocaine use contributed to the heart disease that suddenly killed TV pitchman Billy Mays in June
