"I can't find the words right now to express how deeply sadden [sic] I am by Michael's passing. We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music, but of all music. He has been an inspiration to multiple generations and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

"Farrah Fawcett, the blonde-maned actress whose best-selling poster and "Charlie's Angels" stardom made her one of the most famous faces in the world, died Thursday. She was 62.
Fawcett's death was confirmed by Paul Bloch, one of her representatives at Rogers and Cowan, an entertainment public relations firm.
Bloch told CNN that Ryan O'Neal, Fawcett's romantic partner since the mid-1980s, and her friend Alana Stewart were with Fawcett at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California, when she died."Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world", O'Neal said in a written statement".

"Farrah Fawcett is an icon. As part of the original trio of ridiculously beautiful and refined detectives known as Charlie’s Angels, the actress soared to untold heights of fame. She played Jill Monroe, the fun, furtively smart girl with golden tresses and a smile that could stop a missile en route. She only played Jill for one season, but left an impact on anyone who caught the show during its original run. 
Fawcett quickly became the sex symbol in a decade full of them, and the mania reached its pinnacle with the release of her infamous poster where she is clad in nothing more than a red bathing suit (many years before Baywatch) and her famous smile. To this day that poster remains one of the most popular pin-ups ever sold.
The 90s took a different turn for the actress when she agreed to appear nude in Playboy magazine in 1995. That edition sold more than 4 million copies and became the best selling issue of the decade. She appeared once again in 1997 when she was fifty years old.
Farrah Fawcett: Bold, sexy and smart. When someone famous passes away you often hear it referred to as the end of an era. When it comes to someone like Fawcett that statement could not ring more true". Source: pretty-scary.net
