The mainstream press is reporting he was rushed to the hospital, not breathing and in total cardiac arrest...but TMZ is reporting that the former Motown Records child star and self-appointed "King of Pop" has died. Hate to say it 'cause we think Harvey Levin is the devil these days, but much like the print tabloids, TMZ usually has it right when it comes to this kinda stuff. Will post more when something is confirmed.

UPDATE: The L.A. Times and now NBC News have confirmed it. Michael Jackson dead at age 50 in Los Angeles.

This is probably the way we prefer to remember him...
