It is being reported that Michael Jackson, 50, passed away today after suffering a cardiac arrest. There is no word yet on what may have caused it.

The "Thriller" entertainer was huge when I was young, and I can hardly think of my elementary and junior high school years without hearing his music like a movie soundtrack in my head. My gym teacher was so obsessed, she had us do a lap of "moonwalk" around the gym during the warm-ups.

Michael - bless your heart - you were as weird as they come. Maybe even a little creepy. But we love you and will miss you sorely.
