three celebrities passed away in the space of 3 days
most of the details below are from Wikipedia
Ed McMahon
1st of all on June 23th 2009
Ed McMahon passed away from bone cancer
He was an American comedian, game show host, announcer, and television personality. Most famous for his work on television as Johnny Carson's announcer on The Tonight Show from 1962 to 1992, also as the host of the talent show Star Search from 1983 to 1995, also co-hosting with Dick Clark on TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes from 1982 to 1986, he also became well-known as the presenter of the now-defunct American Family Publishers sweepstakes (not, as is commonly believed, its main rival Publishers Clearing House).
McMahon annually co-hosted the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon. He performed in numerous television commercials, most notably for Budweiser. In the 1970s and 1980s, he anchored the team of NBC personalities conducting the network's coverage of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. McMahon appeared in several films, including The Incident (1967), Fun With Dick and Jane (1977), Full Moon High (1981), and Butterfly (1982), as well as briefly in the film version of Bewitched (2005). According to Entertainment Weekly he is considered one of the "greatest sidekicks".

Farrah Fawcett
And on June 25th 2009
Farrah Fawcett passed away from anal cancer
She was an American actress. A multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee, Fawcett rose to international fame when she first appeared as private investigator Jill Munroe in the TV series Charlie's Angels in 1976. Fawcett later appeared off-Broadway to the approval of critics and in highly rated television movies in roles often challenging (The Burning Bed, Nazi Hunter: The Beate Klarsfeld Story, Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story, Margaret Bourke-White) and sometimes unsympathetic (Small Sacrifices). Fawcett was also a pop culture figure whose hairstyle was emulated by millions of young women and whose poster sales broke records, making her an international sex symbol in the 1970s and 1980s.
R.I.P. Farrah Fawcett (February 2, 1947 — June 25, 2009)
Farrah Fawcett was suppose to wed her bf, Ryan O'Neal
but she didn't make it in time for the day
Michael Jackson
and the most shocking of all
also on June 25th 2009
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop
passed away from heart attack
He was an American recording artist and entertainer. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, four of his solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995), while his 1982 Thriller is the world's best-selling record of all time.
In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.
One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era. Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades. He died unexpectedly on June 25, 2009, aged 50, of a suspected cardiac arrest or heart attack. The specific cause of death is yet to be determined.
R.I.P. Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)
His death has been rather shocking
no one expected it
nonetheless, his doctor said MJ has been under medication for some time
so I think the medicine affected him in one way or another
he will be missed by a lot of people
it's rather weird to see people
criticizing MJ for his surgery
his actions on certain occasions
things where
- he held his child over the balcony
- he molest a child
- him wearing his PJ's to court
and now people are saying
- poor MJ
- he died too young
and all the tra la las
No one has a perfect life
normal people do an even bizarre actions compared to MJ
MJ's actions look serious cause
he is a famous icon
- so people tend to interfere more than they should
- interpret more than they should
- exaggerate more than they should
it's been such a loss to lose this 3 celebrities
still shock over MJ's
Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon's death has been expected (no offense)
I mean, they'd been sick for quite some time
and they suffered
but not MJ
he has been sick for some time
but he wasn't suffering at the Farrah Fawcett's stage
I'm not sure how Ed McMahon suffered though
this is life,
appreciate who you have
appreciate your own life
sometimes, in life
you will not know what will happen
and as for me
I won't say I'm a huge fan of these 3 celebrities
but I like MJ's songs
he was really an amazing artist
