By LYNN ELBER, Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the “King of Pop” and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50.

Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation.

Recently we’ve gotten this:

The Obama ’spook’ adventure
From the NashvilleScene.com:

You might say Sherri Goforth, an executive assistant for state Sen. Diane Black, has an interesting sense of humor. Late last month, she sent out a mass email with the subject line “Historical Keepsake Photo.” It contained a collage of U.S. president photos. But where Barack Obama should have been, it merely showed a pair of spooked white eyes against a black background. Get it? Spooked?

When the email came to light, Goforth launched into swift backpedaling. She didn’t actually apologize for sending the email from a state computer. She did, however, apologize for sending it to the wrong group of people—people who apparently didn’t get her sense of humor…
