Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009), known as the "King of Pop", was an American musician and one of the most commercially successful and influential entertainers of all time. His unique contributions to music and dance, along with a highly publicized personal life, made him a prominent figure in popular culture for four decades.
Alongside his brothers, he made his debut in 1964 as lead singer and youngest member of The Jackson 5, and began a successful solo career in 1971. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995) among the best selling. He is widely credited with having transformed the music video from a promotional tool into an art form, with videos for his songs "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and "Thriller" making him the first African American artist to amass a strong crossover following on MTV.
While preparing for the This Is It concert tour in 2009, Jackson died at the age of 50 after suffering from cardiac arrest. He reportedly had been administered drugs such as propofol and lorazepam, and his death was ruled a homicide by the Los Angeles County coroner. His death triggered an outpouring of grief from around the world with his globally live broadcast memorial service attracting an audience of up to one billion people.

Brutal mass murderer. Disturbed as a child, he was chosen to be inflicted with the Curse of Thorn, which focused his rage on his family and made him invincible. He has murdered scores of people, but is catatonic between Halloweens in which the Thorn constellation is present.

Real name is Michael Shawn Hickenbottom, is more commonly known by his in-ring name: Shawn Michaels, and is always called Shawn. One of the most talented today in the business of sports-entertainment. Very charasmatic, can still get a reaction from the crowd, and can still work a great match. Was involved in the 1997 Survivor Series screwjob of Bret Hart. At first he denied any knowledge of the "Montreal Screwjob" but, he later admitted that he and Triple H (Paul Levesque) knew all about it, and were in on it as well. That was over 10 years ago people. I think it's time to let it go. Devoted husband and father, a recovered drug addict, and a born again Christian. Did a non-nude spread for Playgirl magazine, and didn't find out until after it was published that Playgirl is a homosexual orientated magazine. This was/is found humerous to his fellow wrestlers.
Shawn Michaels is my hero.
