And Farrah, Too...

Amy Austin | June 26, 2009
I feel like a little bit of a jerk for not realizing that yesterday was it for her, too, when I saw something about a "Farrah retrospective" -- I had forgotten that she was dealing with cancer, and it didn't even occur to me that it was a posthumous tribute! Had to post in atonement... ;-(

I didn't like her much at first (professionally, that is) - but she grew on me as an actress. There's little debate that Charlie's Angels = Farrah but does anyone care to guess how many seaons she starred in that show? Critics were moved by her performance in The Burning Bed but Extremities won me over.

Amy Austin | June 27, 2009
I feel much the same way about her, although I didn't see Extremities... and while I know quite well that she was *the* Angel, I don't really remember her from the show that much... so I'm going to guess one or two seasons. The whole show couldn't have lasted more than a handful, as far as I recall.

Steve West | June 27, 2009
Actually it lasted five, I think. I should look that up. But she was one and done. She came back later for cameos and such but was a regular cast member for only the first season.

So I pretty much nailed it.

Steve West | June 27, 2009
You absolutely nailed it, Alex. I mean you Bob Vila nailed it.

Farrah got to the pearly gates and St Peter said
"you lived a good life so we have decided to grant you a wish"
farrah said "I wish for children all over the world to be safe"

Michael Jackson died

Amy Austin | June 27, 2009
Heard it already.

Tony Peters | June 27, 2009
I tried......

Steve Dunn | June 27, 2009
I hadn't heard it. Hilarious!

There's already a shit-ton of jokes out.

What the difference between Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson ….one played with Majors and the other played with minors!

Michael Jackson had requested a sea burial …strapped to 2 buoys.

Did you hear? The Jackson Five are offering a 20 percent discount on their reunion!

Q: What’s the difference between Michael Jackson and Disney films?
A: Disney films can still touch kids.

Only in America can someone be born a poor black kid, and die a rich white woman.

I don't feel any emotion after MJ’s death… He never really touched me when I was younger.

Farrah Fawcett arrived at the Pearly Gates and God asked her what he could do for her having led such an honest life. Farrah asked God to simply make sure the children of the world were safe. Five minutes later, Michael Jackson died.

Doctors believe Michael Jackson's heart attack was due to a hereditary problem. They think it's the result of a defective billy gene.

When the paramedics arrived at Michael Jackson's home they found class A drugs in the kitchen, and Class 4B in his bedroom.

Call me what you will... I think the billy gene is the funniest one.

Michael Jackson - his heart didn't beat it.
