Perez Hilton said he was faking, and wasn't really sick.

Umm Huffpost...might want to check what pics you're putting with articles, on "Huffpost's big news pages" there is a picture of Michael Jackson where "Iranian Election" is listed.

Am I the only one who found the Boston Herald cover to be in poor taste?

Oh, well; my newspaper (Daily Press, Newport News, Va.) didn't have a front-page story on him ... that was relegated to page 12 of the News section. The only thing on the front page was a teaser in the top right corner ... "King of Pop dies ... story on page 12."

[LovesMusicLikesToSing]

No, you're not the only one who found the Boston Herald cover to be in poor taste. I thought it was very disrespectful.

[psychmaj323]

No, they need to be shot. Even in death they don't have the decency to respect this man...

[dubster]

There was some impressive and disappointing covers. I liked the USA Today, Chicago Sun Times, and the Boston Globe. There were a few others I enjoyed as well though.

[wizedollars]

The papers going fast in Los Angeles.

[iiirockstar16iii]

Love HuffPost but the forat of this sideshow really sucks, you should let me fix it for ya.

[PATina]

I like the Chicago Sun-Times the best. I wish I could buy a copy of that paper here.

[factotem]

Navigating through these images is f***ing disaster. Fire your web coders.

[liarsclub75]

I know right? Terrible coding.

[joestatler]

Somewhere, Mark Sanford is moonwalking.

[getoffmedz]
