Micheal Jackson died tonight. His Wikipedia entry was updated to show this less than a minute after the event.

Someone probably had his Wiki page up and ready to be edited as soon as the news of his suspected death broke. TMZ were saying he was dead before there was any official medical confirmation. That's the technological age for you!

I'm really gutted about this. Far more than I was about any other public figure's death. I don't care about his boy-touching ways (well, I do) but his music was amazing.

The gag texts and emails have already been doing the rounds. My parents' neighbour, Davey, got the first gag email sent at midnight!

But...eh. Bit of a surprise, but in a weird way, it's not that unexpected. He'd been looking ill for ages, and trying to do a 50-date event on bad health probably won't go down as one of the greatest ideas ever.
