Michael Jackson's sudden death on Thursday was perhaps the most shocking celebrity demise since his friend Princess Diana was killed in a car crash in 1997. Michael Jackson's death Thursday in Los Angeles prompted broadcasters from Sydney to Seoul - where the news came early Friday - to interrupt morning programs, while fans worldwide remembered a "tortured genius" whose squeals and moonwalks captivated a generation and sparked global trends in music, dance and fashion.

As unconfirmed reports of his fatal cardiac arrest spread on the Web, disbelieving fans kept hoping for several hours that it was some sort of mistake until his death was confirmed by the Los Angeles County Coroner about 4:30 p.m.

"Don't panic ppl! We don't know what happened! And there is not official news! These are just rumors so we can't know for sure what happened! Me or others will post as soon as I will find out anything," wrote the administrator of a Jackson fan Web site.

Some cynics initially thought that news of his hospitalization was a ploy to get out of his 50-show comeback concert series in London, scheduled to begin next month.

In a prelude to the mass gatherings that will likely happen around the world for the next few days -- recalling the outpouring of grief that greeted the passing of such icons as Princess Diana, John Lennon and Elvis Presley -- hundreds of fans gathered outside the UCLA Medical Center in west Los Angeles, where Jackson was rushed from his nearby rental home.

Some fans were crying and hugging each other, and others were climbing atop fences to get a better look at a microphone stand.

"I hope he's gone to God, and I hope that he's free of all the troubles he's been plagued with," Tonya Blazer, 50, who said she has been a fan going back to the Jackson 5.

"I just feel like I'm paying tribute to him," said Dawn Burgess, 42, a fan who said she had posters of Michael pinned to her bedroom wall when she was a child.

"To us he was a pop star. He was that to everyone. It's rude to make fun of him," said Jakquelyn Sullivan, 29, who works in the hospital's chemistry department.

Producer Quincy Jones, who worked with Jackson on his "Off The Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad" albums, said he was "absolutely devastated" by the death. "I've lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him," Jones said.

"His passing will be grieved far beyond that of any other singer, composer, producer, dancer and choreographer, in the history of the world," added Don Cornelius, the creator of the "Soul Train" TV show.

"The Miss California USA Organization, in conjunction with the Miss Universe Organization and with the blessing of its owner, Mr. Donald J. Trump, announced today the termination of Carrie Prejean as Miss California USA 2009, citing continued breach of contract issues," the Miss California Organization said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

The group kicked the controversial beauty queen from her post due to "contract violations including Ms. Prejean's unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization," the pageant's Executive Director, Keith Lewis, said in a statement.

Last month, Trump decided that Prejean would be allowed to keep her crown despite racy photos of the 22-year-old surfacing on the Internet. But Lewis claims that in the weeks that followed, the beauty queen did not step up to the plate.

An actress who works in Southern California's pornography industry has tested positive for HIV, renewing county and state health officials' concerns that the adult entertainment industry lacks sufficient safety measures to prevent the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

The new case was confirmed to The Times and pornography industry websites Wednesday by the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, a San Fernando Valley-based clinic that serves adult-film stars in Sherman Oaks and Granada Hills. Public health officials, however, said no official report had been made at the state or county level.

The Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation said Wednesday that initial HIV tests of the woman's partners have come up negative, but they are not being allowed to perform and are being encouraged to test again in two weeks.

The case is the first publicly confirmed HIV infection in the industry in Southern California since 2004 when an HIV outbreak shut down porn production for a month.

County Public Health Director Dr. Jonathan Fielding says his office received no reports about the incident by Wednesday afternoon but would launch an investigation.

David Carradine, the star of the 1970s television series “Kung Fu” and the title villain of the “Kill Bill” movies, has died in Thailand, The Associated Press reported. The United States Embassy in Bangkok told The A.P. that Mr. Carradine had been found dead in his hotel suite in Bangkok, where he was working on a movie. He was 72.

The BBC reports that Thai police are saying the 72-year-old was found by a hotel maid sitting in a wardrobe with a rope around his neck and body. Carradine was best known for starring in the '70s TV show Kung Fu and in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill movies. He won a Best Actor award from the National Board of Review for his performance in the 1976 film Bound for Glory.

Mr. Carradine was part of an acting family that included his father, John; his brother, Bruce, and half-brothers Keith and Robert; and his nieces Ever Carradine and Martha Plimpton.

After a short run as the title character in the 1966 television adaptation of the Western “Shane,” he found fame in the 1972 series “Kung Fu” as Kwai Chang Caine, a wanderer raised by Shaolin monks to be a martial arts master. He enjoyed a career resurgence in recent years when he was cast by Quentin Tarantino in the action movies “Kill Bill: Vol. 1″ and “Vol. 2.”
