Farrah Fawcett Loses Battle with Cancer

After being voted Most Beautiful in 1965 at WB Ray High School in Corpus Christi, Texas, Fawcett starred in commercials for Noxema, Ultra Brite toothpaste, Wella Balsam Shampoo, and even the Mercury Cougar car.

Fawcett broke into the Hollywood scene in 1976 when Aaron Spelling cast her as Jill Monroe, a sexy and smart private investigator on "Charlie's Angels." Although she only appeared on the television show for one season, her popularity spawned a new hair frenzy – every woman in the mid-70s wanted the "Farrah Do" -- and her 1976 sultry "red bathing suit" poster sold more than 8 million copies (and continues to hold the record for poster sales).

Fawcett continued to gain acclaim as an actor and even more as a style and beauty trendsetter. After appearing in dramatic roles and on the stage, Fawcett posed nude for the first time in the December 1995 issue of Playboy – it remained the best-selling issue of the magazine for the 1990s.

Fawcett most recently received her third Emmy in 2003 for per performance in "The Guardian" and chronicled her battle with cancer in the yet-to-be-released documentary, "A Wing and a Prayer." She leaves behind her longtime beau, Ryan O'Neal, and their 24-year-old son, Redmond.

The King of Pop dominates WORLD'S FRONT PAGES

NEVER before... and if you are reading this, you are part of the statistics of the online frenzy that has captured the world with Michael Jackson's death.

As it dawns on the printing press times in later parts of the world, Michael Jackson dominates the front pages of newspapers like no other in recent times ever has. It's the most shocking death of an entertainment superstar since John Lennon in 1980, with all due respect to the memories of Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, Aaliyah and the many other celebrities who died suddenly.

For the first times in their lives, having not been born at the time of the tragic deaths of the assissinated US President John F. Kennedy, to the the overdose of 'The King' Elvis Presley in 1977, and the insane-fan shooting of John Lennon 29 years ago, the death of Jackson at 50 is a first for the IT-MTV generation. As such many are calling Michael Jackson this generation's Elvis Presley or John Lennon.

And in many ways, the Internet age and the IT revolution has changed the face of global mourning.

Within an hour of his death being confirmed, terms related to Jackson filled nine of the top 10 slots on Google Trends, which tracks the most popular search terms in the US. Top of the list was "Michael died", ahead of "michael jackson dead 2009", "michael jackson heart attack", "cardiac arrest" and "michael jackson cardiac arrest".

Other terms in the list included "la times" and "la times michael jackson" as fans sought out updates from the leading newspaper in the star's home town.

On Twitter, the micro-blogging website, tributes to the King Of Pop pushed "RIP Michael Jackson" and similar phrases up to the top of its trending topics. Their rise came at the expense of tweets connected to the Iranian elections, which have dominated Twitter for the past fortnight.

Hundreds of old pictures surfacing, thousands of new IT-related sites popping up, and millions of people from the furthest corners of this planet all somehow being connected with the man who once sang "Heal the World".

Michael Jackson Children and Debbie Rowe (PHOTOS)

Michael Jackson, the 50 year old King of Pop, died yesterday after receiving an injection of Demerol. He is survived by three children, two of them with dermatologist nurse and former wife Debbie Rowe.

Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. was born in 1997. His sister Paris Michael Katherine Jackson arrived in 1998. Jackson divorced their mother in 1999, and she signed over sole custody to Jackson.

A third child Prince Michael Jackson II aka Blanket was born to a surrogate mother, with Jackson as the sperm donor, in 2002.

We are told that right now the three siblings are with Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson. It seems likely that the biological mother of Paris and Prince will attempt to regain custody of the children. With an undisclosed inheritance awaiting the youngsters, one can safely predict that a court battle will be waged that could take years to resolve.

View photos of Debbie Rowe, Michael and the three children in our gallery below. Note that in many cases, the kids faces are obscured by veils and mardi gras type masks.
