Michael Jackson, the ‘King of Pop,’ dies at age 50

June26

Michael Jackson was pronounced dead Thursday after being rushed to a Los Angeles hospital, according to multiple news reports.

A representative of the Los Angeles Fire Department said paramedics tried to treat Jackson after he suffered a cardiac arrest at his rented home in L.A.’s Holmby Hills neighborhood and then transported the entertainer to the UCLA Medical Center.

Lt. Fred Corral of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office told CNN that the singer was pronounced dead at the hospital. The celebrity gossip site TMZ.com and Los Angeles Times also reported earlier that Jackson was dead.

Throngs of paparazzi converged on the hospital upon Jackson’s arrival, and family members reportedly were gathered within.

Jackson, once one of pop music’s top-selling artists, has faced financial problems in recent years following accusations of child molestation and an embarrassing public trial. He had recently been preparing for a comeback in the form of a series of concerts in London.

Secretary accidentally bites off boss’ penis

A SECRETARY accidentally bit off the penis of her employer while giving him oral sex in a car.

Sin Chew Daily and China Press reported yesterday that while the 30-year-old woman was performing oral sex on the man, the car was hit by a reversing van.

The impact of the crash, China Press reported, caused the woman to bite off her lover’s organ.

The daily reported that the incident occurred in a Singapore park where the couple met after work.

To make matters worse for the woman, her husband had sent a private investigator to spy on her after suspecting that she was being unfaithful.

The investigator said he had followed the woman and her boss to the park.

“On reaching the park, they did not alight from the car. Not long after, the car started to shake violently.

After the car was hit by the van, there was a loud scream from the woman whose mouth was covered with blood,” he said.

The woman later followed her lover to the hospital with part of the sexual organ.

The investigator, who called an ambulance to send the man to hospital, said that this was the first time he had encountered such an incident.

Ex-stewardess publishes memoir

The dailies also reported that a former stewardess has published a memoir of her sexual escapades in the sky.

The Singaporean stewardess, identified as Chew, 35, published The Mile Hi! Club: Memoirs of a Stewardess last Wednesday.

Chew confided that she had received more than 20 requests for sex from passengers in her years as a stewardess but claimed she had turned down all of them.
