The Five Craziest Michael Jackson Death Theories
MICHAEL Jackson’s death has not only knocked Iran from the news but allowed the media to speculate on what killed the King of Pop.
Anorak brings you the Top Five Theories of Michael Jackson’s death:
1. Overdose on Painkillers:
The Sun reports on “an Emergency Room source at UCLA hospital said Jackson aides told medics he had collapsed after an injection of potent Demerol — similar to morphine.”
Says a Jackson source:
“Shortly after taking the Demerol he started to experience slow shallow breathing.
“His breathing gradually got slower and slower until it stopped.
“His staff started mouth-to-mouth and an ambulance was called which got there in eight minutes “But found he was in full respiratory arrest, no breathing and no pulse. They started full CPR and rushed him to hospital.
“When he arrived they started resuscitation, giving him heart shocks and inserted a breathing tube and other supportive measures to try and save his life.
“He never regained consciousness.The family was told that he had passed.”
2. He’s not Dead – It’s just a publicity stunt to drum up, er, publicity.
Perez Hilton, the unctuous gossip blogger says:
As Gawker notes, “In the last hour Perez Hilton has taken down the photo shown here and amended his original post so he doesn’t look as bad, but here’s the text of what he originally posted”:
We knew something like this would happen!!
Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance from his Holmby Hills home to a nearby Los Angeles hospital on Thursday afternoon!!
Supposedly, the singer went into cardiac arrest and the paramedics had to administer CPR!!!His mother is even on the way to visit him!!!
We are dubious!!
Jacko pulled a similar stunt when he was getting ready for his big HBO special in ‘95 when he “collapsed” at rehearsal!
He was dragging his heels on that just like his upcoming 50 date London residency at the 02 Arena, of which he already postponed the first few dates!!!
Either he’s lying or making himself sick, but we’re curious to see if he’s able to go on!!!
Get your money back, ticket holders!!!!
Look out for the return of Heath Ledger – the world’s leading method actor.
3. Killed By Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
For well over a week, Iran was the media’s lead news story. But now Iran is old news, overtaken by the dearth of Michael Jackson.
The top stories on Twitter at the time of writing are:
Michael Jackson
Jacko
Ticket refunds
I am Michael Jackson
Wacko Jacko
Jordy Chandler
Farrah Fawcett
Habitat – Michael Jackson’s favourite high street future store
Farrah Fawcett swimsuit
Obama says “we bore witness to Jackson”
4. Michael Jackson only 45% dead.
Michael Jackson is not dead. According to cosmetic surgeons, only 45% of the original Jackson remained, which means 55% – the greater part – remains alive.
Although being a Michael Jackson impersonator is akin to hitting a moving target, there are now so many people who look like Jackson that the King of Pop swapped places with one of them in a Prince And the Pauper-style story.
5. Madame Tussaud’s is missing a waxwork.

Cashing In On Farrah Fawcett’s Death
FARRAH FAWCETT is dying. Her cancer is on the telly. Anorak’s Man in LA has more:
Friends of Farrah Fawcett tell us her passing is near. Her doctors confirm the sad inevitability. And as the brave, beautiful blonde takes her final breaths, the battles surrounding her are amped up amid the emotion and panic among her loved ones and those who want something from her alike. The friends and colleagues who’ve been kept away from Farrah since her longtime/sometimes lover Ryan O’Neal moved in and took over her affairs have taken to various websites and press releases with accusations that we can’t repeat unless or until we or someone who’s paid to do the work can prove them.
The most unseemly deathmatch is between the true Farrahcites, the network news buzzards who preach high standards yet grovel in the dirt as they ape the tabloid form in search of the next bug “get.” Word tonight is that the good folks at NBC and NBC News are in an uproar that old Barbara Walters and her crew at ABC’s 20/20 hijacked the sequel to their high-rating tabloid special “Farrah’s Story” for ABC’s own “Love Story,” set to air Friday night and getting a lot of play for Ryan O’Neal’s jocular announcement that he plans to marry Farrah on her deathbed if “maybe we can just nod her head.”
Tonight we hear that NBC’s biggest fear is that Farrah will pass away in the next 48 hours, leading to giant ratings for ABC. So NBC plans to counter-program with three primetime hours of Farrah Fawcett on Friday night, rerunning “Farrah’s Story,” the maudlin, morbid tale helmed by and starring Ryan O’Neal, followed by a “special” one-hour retrospective on Farrah’s life hosted by Meredith Vieira.
This is not tribute. This is not homage to a princess. One insider tells TabloidBaby what it is: “NBC is looking to crush ABC.”
“Farrah’s Story,” you’ll remember, was a two-hour recut of the cancer journal documentary Farrah had produced with producer Craig Nevius. But as her condition worsened, O’Neal took over not only her affairs but the doco, pushing Nevius aside (Nevius sued), and with the help of the heavy hands at NBC Dateline, turning Farrah’s story into Ryan’s real-life Love Story.
Farrah’s journals, we’re told, are being turned into a book by Alana Stewart, her friend who helped film much of Farrah’s treatment at cancer clinics in Germany, and who later sided with O’Neal in the doco heist after demanding a fat payoff for her work. The book, we’re told will be announced after Farrah’s passing, “for maximum effect.”

Amy Winehouse Honoured In St Lucia
SO clean is St Lucia – named after patron saint of the blind (drunk) – that Amy Winehouse is making the place look untidy. And she must leave.
Jeff Fedee, a former Governor of St Lucia, writes in the St. Lucia Star newspaper:
“I would strongly urge she be denied residency status to purchase property in St. Lucia. Is she being given special treatment? She’d be a menace and a dangerous influence to our society because the demons that inhabit her tortured body will have to be fed.”
There be demons!
Amy Winehouse is a “tattooed reptile“.

Farrah Fawcett’s ‘Pulp Fiction’ Marriage
ANORAK’S Man in LA continues to look at Farrah Fawcett’s celebrity cancer:
Says TB:
Wonder if hard-hitting news veteran Barbara Walters will get to the bottom of the controversy over Ryan O’Neal’s control over cancer-stricken Farrah Fawcett in her final days? Wonder no more. The promotion department at ABC is working overtime to hype the 20/20 segment that airs Friday night, and the big “get” is O’Neal’s insistence that the iconic actress has agreed to marry him on her deathbed.
Says O’Neal: “We will (marry), as soon as she can say ‘yes.'”
