Celebs Respond To Michael Jackson’s Death

Following Michael Jackson’s shocking death, celebrities have been tweeting their condolences. Here’s a sampling:

Miley Cyrus: Michael Jackson was my inspiration. Love and blessings.

Demi Moore: I am greatly saddened for the loss of both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Especially for their children!

John Mayer: I think we’ll mourn his loss as well as the loss of ourselves as children listening to Thriller on the record player. Dazed in the studio. A major strand of our cultural DNA has left us. I truly hope he is memorialized as the ‘83 moonwalking, MTV owning, mesmerizing, unstoppable, invincible Michael Jackson. RIP MJ.

Ludacris: If it were not for Micheal Jackson I would not be where or who I am today. His Music and Legacy will live on forever. Prayers to the fam R.I.P.

Jesse McCartney: RIP Michael Jackson. He was the King and the reason I started singing. I will miss him.

Lindsay Lohan: NO OMG … sending my love and prayers out to Michael and his family … I feel sick.

Joel Madden: This is a sad day. Take a moment for Micheal and remember his gift to us all. He was truly great. May he Rest in Peace.

Diddy: Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life!! He made me believe in magic. I will miss him!

Ashley Tisdale: So sad. Saying a prayer for Michael Jackson. I have to say, the 6 of us from HSM were very lucky to have met such an amazing man. I will remember that moment forever. RIP Michael

Dane Cook: I’m dedicating my show 2night to Michael Jackson. THRILLER got me laid. Well… At least that’s what I told my friends.

Jenny McCarthy: Michael Jackson has passed away. His spirit and creative influence will live on through his music that we have loved for decades.

Jordin Sparks: “Omg I’m bawling right now. Michael…. My heart hurts.”

MJ’s death takes down the http://www... or at least slows it down quite a bit.

It’s a sad week for celebs this week: Ed McMahon, Farrah, and Michael Jackson.

RIP

noone cares about what miley cyrus has to say about michael

# 7

..or lindsay lohan

I agree with Demi. People seem to be forgetting that we lost Farrah as well. I was expecting her to pass, but am in complete shock about MJ. I’m in tears, and i’m not even that big of a fan

RIP to both Farrah & MJ, the King of POP.

# 9

Michael was able to share his incredible gift with us for a short time. We will miss him greatly. God Bless his family at this time of loss.

ManLESSton, I likely @ 06/25/2009 at 8:18 pm

RIP Farrah and Michael. It is a sad day. Rumors of Harrison Ford and Jeff Goldblum are internet rumors that have been debunked by real media outlets, CNN, CBS, NBC…

babydalailama @ 06/25/2009 at 8:20 pm

still reeling from michael jacksons death and just heard jeff goldblum is dead after a fall in new zealand….what is going on…????

Jeff Goldblum?? really?
MJ R.I.P

I never shocked for celb death in my life like I am with Micheal . I am not even his biggest fan but he was one of a kind. RIP . My condolences to his family.

No, the news of Jeff Goldblum is a hoax…

This is a sad loss. . .but I have to laugh at Miley Cyrus response to his death. He was her inspiration . . .WTF. She will cash in on anything now won’t she. She has a lot inspirations, when the attention calls for it.
Demi Moore had the best respnse. Two celebs died today, both with children. They are now left without a parent, which is horrible.

It is a very sad day, First Farrah and now Michael, my prayers are with there families in this hard time

Well I was more shocked about Heaths Death @Amy
But yeah I am VERY shocked

RIP Michael Jackson and thank you for your Music that will live forever

ManLESSton, I likely @ 06/25/2009 at 8:30 pm

@babydalailama: Jeff Goldblum is not dead. He is fine. Confirmed with his agent by CNN.

Goldblum is alive.
That’s a hoax from 1999 that’s resurfaced on the Net.

@Rocky:

Heath’s death. . . both equally shocking, but yes, probably a bit more to hear Health had died, since he was so young, and a fellow aussie.

How sad to hear of such talented people leaving us, when talentless people like Paris Hilton are still around.

yeah jeff is fine and alive! It was a stupid joke thank god!!!

Michael RIP you will never be forgotten!

u gotta love lindsay lohan’s response. anyway, may he rest in peace.

I love what miley cyrus said.

RIP MJ

Miley Cyrus needs to stfu.

Miley did a video based on thirler the fly on the video of her. I love Miley

RIP michael…. and wtf, miley? demi? whats next the jonas brothers? why even psoting what they think? they are not even real musicians.. they are just crap disney shiiit..

youwillmissme @ 06/25/2009 at 8:44 pm

RIP Michael. You’ll be forever missed.

i am in still shocked about his death…

I don’t think the music industry would be the same if it weren’t for Micheal. Half of the artists popular today were/still are greatly inspired by his amazing work. He was brilliant. A true legend. He will never be forgotten. RIP.

I blame it on the boogie.

Thanks for Billie Jean Michael. RIP.

Miley was Daddy’s little squirt last time MJ had a hit…not qualified

miley wtf? shut the hell up and ashley tisdale as well..
i like the thoughts of the others

Hello, Im From New Zealand. And I have been real upset today from
the death of the person i have idolized since the day i could understand who people were.

I was too little to go to MJ’s Concert in NZ in 1996 and now im starting to regret that i couldnt go to london, but now this has happened im filled of guilt, on how i couldnt do much when michael was being Herrased..
Im gonna miss you Michael! R.I.P

I Want You Back, Stop the Love You Save, I’ll Be There, Ben…all those songs are roadsigns of my childhood.

Although I eventually grew out of my mad crush on Michael Jackson he remained a part of me and much of my generation.

This is very sad news and a great loss for all of us who grew up with Michael Jackson’s music.

Algerian Girl @ 06/25/2009 at 9:06 pm

You know i wish Micheal heard all this beautiful messages whene he was alive, the poor guy was treated badly this unique artist contributed and bringed a brand new entertainment style,dance,songs, in this last decenies, all the singers that we are watching now the Ashers, the beyonces, the rihannas, the spears, the timberlakes, the browns …are all an inspiration of the king of pop, he deserved a lot of respect and desevred to be honored very well was he was alive..

sad. he was a legend that’s for sure…odd or not.

so sad for his kids too.

what’s going to happen with his kids??????

RIP MICHAEL JACKSON FROM ALL THE FANS HERE IN HOUSTON,TEXAS.WE WILL MISS YOU.I SEND MY SMYATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS.TEARS ALL FALLING ALL ROUND THE WORLD for michael jackson….

It a sad day for fan of ed,farrah,and michael jackson.

The statements by other celebs are very comforting.

zashleyroxzanessasox @ 06/25/2009 at 9:19 pm

so unbelievable R.I.P. MICHEAL JACKSON. you will be miss.

F u g F a c e M a n ! s t o n @ 06/25/2009 at 9:29 pm

wtf. this really cant be true!

This is why I CAN’T STAND TWITTER…. No one, I mean no one, cares how these retarded so called celebrities think. OMG!

Pining for Chris @ 06/25/2009 at 9:35 pm

I still cannot believe it…….This is crazy.
He will be sorely missed. This just reminds me how S H I T music is today…..

sHAUN HUGHES @ 06/25/2009 at 9:38 pm

The celebs doth prostrate too much, methinks. Jordi + Gavin.

This is a day of great sadness - losing 2 great people way before their time - so sorry for the Loss of the beautiful, lovely, brave, remarkable Farrah Fawcett & so sorry for the loss of the most amazing King of Pop - who has inspired his generation and the current generation with his music and talent - such a talent - such a great legendary performer who has sold the most records possibly of all time - some 750 million. BUT most important the children and familes of these 2 great ones have been left to mourn their loss. May God bless these families. I also am sad for the loss of the sweet Ed McMahon this week & my prayers are for all these families.

I was really shocked when I heard this…
I’m really sad…
Condolences to MJ and Farrah Facewt’s family.

this is to hard to swallow

@Daniel: demi morre not demi lovato you dumb ass

cutiepie32 @ 06/25/2009 at 10:08 pm

Dane needs to stfu. What an incredibly disrespective thing to say about someone that just died ( “THRILLER got me laid! Well at least thats what i told my friends”) What a fukking idiot! Also, Lohan and anyone else that replys OMG ins also a fukking idiot!

No one died except for Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson all reports today (********) of Harrison Ford, Melissa Gilbert and Jeff Goldblum are FALSE!!!! Just some jerk trying to get press or whatever. DO NOT Believe it! We lost two dear ones today and that is quite enough! Pray for their children and their families. There really is too much evil in the world!

Miley can say what she wants! What is wrong for the Princess of Pop paying tribute to the King of Pop??

Don’t pick on peoples grief. At least they have really met the man! Nothing funny about anyone handles a traumatizing death. Have compassion for the ones left behind as well. Grow up. Be a real human being. I have been a fan of Michaels and Farrahs for decades! Since their careers got stared and now they are ended. I have been with them through it all loving and supporting them. I will miss them and today my heart was cleaved in two. So. Brilliant!! Show your love and grief in whatever way is appropriate and tasteful I say. Otherwise, sod off!

RIP Michael Jackson !
I love you <3

F u g F a c e M a n ! s t o n @ 06/25/2009 at 10:43 pm

i’d like to slap dane cook in the mouth.

@justme: Princess of Pop? OH MY GOD.

Thank you MJ for the music and the memories. Your fans will always love you and you will never be forgotten!!!
LONG LIVE THE KING!!! much love MJ!

Miley can say what she wants! What is wrong for the Princess of Pop paying tribute to the King of Pop??
——————
hell no miley is NOT the princess of pop!!!!!!!!!

Regurgitatedcreativism @ 06/26/2009 at 12:12 am

He was not a well man and so it is not unexpected. While it is sad news, perhaps now,after time to grieve, his children can look forward to a more normal existance. He did, after all is said and done, raise them very oddly. Not without love, I am sure. But still very oddly.

hey JARED, if you can edit this…

BACKSTREET BOYS : “If the Micahel Jackson rumors are true, our hearts go out to his family + all his fans. He was and always will be one of our inspirations.”

if you can post this i would really appreciate it

@Regurgitatedcreativism: I totally agree. In fact I can’t seem to do anything but agree with other people’s post. I’m just so overcome with emotion for the whole thing.

why are the disney ***** on here.
****** and plastic nose on here.

gert em off

princess of pop. YEA RIGHT! dont make me laugh.

she’s a disney girl, she has a long way before she gets to be princess of pop. now your just throwing words around.

RIP Farrah and Michael!

i’ll miss you!

@dundies:
thats mean to say evryone wants to speak about about his death and yes i care what Miley has to say

@dundies:
thats mean to say evryone wants to speak about about his death and yes i care what Miley has to say

Okay, Miley said that her Fly on the Wall music video was inspired by MJ. If she isn’t allowed to share her condolences then I don’t know what is wrong with the world.

RIP Michael, you will always be the King of Pop.

I still cant belive it. This is a very sad day i love MJ music he is gone but remembered for ever. RIP

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! iam still in shock!!!!! i love u MJ your music will live on forever!! RIP iam sure you are now dancing on a cloud in heaven.

never know when it’s your last day on earth.

RIP Micheal… All those celebs must be really sad…
I love Ashley <3… sweetest

MICHAEL JACKSON… died!!! what expression i have in that news???
but i think that is so true
i want to say goodbye to you michael RIP,,,,,

I will always love you RIP MJ KING!

superbiggerevil @ 06/26/2009 at 4:08 am

Get well soon Michael Jackson!

RIP Farrah

I am deeply saddened by the death of Michael Jackson. He was an icon. This is unbelievable , condolences to his children whom he doted, May he rest in peace. The world should remember him for the great artist that he was. This is a sad day in history. I loved his music since a kid. I think that the American flag should fly at half mast to show our respect to him.

Im socked ! OMG

It’s such a shock I grew up listening to Michael Jackson’s music and seeing him on MTV when it first came on and the amazing dance moves and everyone had or wanted to wear the jacket and squein glove …he will be surely missed and Farrah was an icon too ,watched Charlie’s Angels growing up as well ,my heart goes out to both familes.

i will miss him too much. i can’t believe it. i am so sad

Stuart L Leech @ 06/26/2009 at 6:20 am

To the media..I would say lets not knock him..but enjoy what he left..pure talent and a genius in his given field.

Message to Lohan - you should feel sick. You’re next.

shock , Jackson was my favorite singer…50 jears…so joung

What John Mayer said is nice. Pays to be a songwriter. Lindsay sounded funny.

to micheal jackson family. May God give u peace cuz he is sitting beside him. He was a true inspiration especially to us africans a star,role model and admirable. U will always b in our hearts

Written down in history forever* Rest In Peace

fair weather celebrities @ 06/26/2009 at 9:38 am

All these celebrities tweeting their tributes to MJ would not even touch him with a 10 foot pole when he was a live. They are a bunch of attention seeking a s s wipes

@Anonymous:

this is stupid. Miley is huge in the industry - like it or not & I would venture to say that almost every pop/rock musician today has been influenced & affected by Michael Jackson & his artistry. Everyone has the right to speak their words of grief over the loss of this great artist.

Besides THIS is about Michael Jackson - stop bringing other subjects into this.

God bless Michael’s children & may Michael’s music legacy live on. RIP, MIchael.

I’m still crying over the loss of Michael. I still hope somehow it’s not true. I also don’t give a flying f-ck about what Miley or John Mayer has to say. Douche bag Mayer just want to use this.

you forgot Celine Dion, she was on Larry King live for five and a half minutes talking about Michael.

I am shocked like the rest of the world. It doesn’t sink in right now. I’m overwhelmed by this tragedy. I have to say to you, Michael Jackson’s been an idol for me all my life. I remember being in my house when I was very, very young and having his posters above my bedroom. He’s been my idol all my life and looking up to him. And my goal was to be maybe doing the same show business world as him. And I was listening to his music and I hoped to be meeting him one day, and I have to tell you that I was very privileged to be on the same record company as him, and I did meet him a long, long time ago and I was so thrilled and nervous when I had the privilege of meeting with him. He was so kind, he gave me his autograph and I have a hat of his with his autograph and it always had an amazing meaning to me, but now it has a totally different meaning to me.

And we sang together, and I was looking forward to seeing his show in London, my husband and I, and Michael came to Las Vegas to see my show, and I was more than honored to have him.

LARRY KING: Did he come backstage?

He came backstage, we spent about an hour together and he had a lot of questions for me. He was very… to me, he seemed to be, like, I want to know so much. I want to know how it is to be in Las Vegas. How it is, Celine, to sing every night here, is it difficult, is it difficult to sing here every night, is it demanding? I felt that he wanted to know so much. And me, I wanted to know so much, I wanted to know so much from him, but it seemed that, it seemed to me so fragile. And he wanted to have questions answered and I was amazed to have him in my dressing room.

LARRY KING: When you’re performing and you have someone like that in the audience, are you constantly aware of his presence?

Absolutely, you cannot do otherwise, and I have to say that I was questioning myself through the whole show: Can I announce him, do I give him his private time? Am I going to abuse his private time to announce him? Should I? I want to do it so much—and I did. I did announce him and the whole colesseum, the whole crowd went crazy, because Michael Jackson was not only an extremely talented person, he was unique and he was a genius. And when I said, “Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Jackson is with us tonight,” I thought people were going to jump off the balcony. People went crazy, and I have to say, it is such a loss, because even right now, we’re home and we’re watching images and it feels like when Kennedy died, when Elvis Presley died. We’re not only talking about a talented person dying, it’s an amazing loss.

My sympathy goes to the family. It’s a big loss. It’s not even sinking in right now. I’m looking at the image on TV, and my son is 8 years old—and he knows his name, he’s listening to his songs—but it’s brand new for him, like I’m rediscovering Michael Jackson again… I grew up with him, and through my son, I’m discovering his music again. He will never die. He will never, ever die. My sympathy goes to his whole family.

LARRY KING: From a performer’s opinion, what was his greatness? Was he a great singer?

I think he was just an amazing genius, dancing, singing. I think it’s so unfortunate, Larry, because since he’s very little, he’s under pressure. I think we all live under pressure, differently; we live under pressure because we want to give the audience and the fans what they look forward, what they expect. We want to do a better album, we want to do a better show. I think Michael Jackson lived under pressure all the time, since he’s 5 years old. One thing to please his family, his fans and putting the bar so high, that he needed to be suppressing his own self. And I think it’s unfortunate because the pressure was so tremendous, I am so sure, if you only live under pressure and you don’t have something like your family, your husband or your wife, your children… I mean, he probably lived so much… he didn’t have the balance. I am sorry, my sympathies to the whole family. It is a big loss for all of us.

angel hair @ 06/26/2009 at 1:00 pm

why bother with these half-baked, insincere words? do people really know anything else about MJ’s talent outside of billy jean or beat it? especially people like ashley tisdale and miley? come on!!!

people he is a great legacy but you gotta understand that everyone will end up in his place but in the other hand he was music defined music and will always be defining music he had it all grace and talent i listen to these stupid music nowadays and its sad how generationacan ruin such passion as music RiP MICHEAL JACKSON YOU TRULY WERE A LEGACY YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AND NEVER IN HISTORY BE FORGOTTEN…):

Rest in peace. Micheal.

Little boys’ bottoms are now safe

taylorlautnerhasmyheart @ 06/27/2009 at 3:00 pm

I just read MJ’s will, well I don’t know if any one of you noticed………but on the 1st page of his will he had a tiny MJ initialed, then on the remaining pages it looked like to me, as if someone else tried to forge his initials…………either that or Michael had a major problem keeping himself in check as he initialed the other pages.
