Sri Lankan born Oscar nominated rapper MIA wrote, "Michael Jackson, the first 2 English words I ever spoke, the future sucks!"

Ardent Twitter followers Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher both requested the media to respect the privacy of the grieving family.

"I plea to the public to refuse to consume media that does not respect the anonymity of Michael's children. I plea to the press to respect his wishes of maintaining the anonymity of his children," wrote Kutcher.
