US Weekly and numerous other tabloid weeklies have photo features that show that celebrities are just like us. They shop, they walk their dogs, play with their kids, and drink coffee. Another similarity – the famous are no better than the rest of us at expressing themselves in 140 characters or less. Last night, the Grammy Twitter feed relayed thoughts on Michael Jackson’s passing, most of which were pedestrian at best:

@Pink Michael Jackson was one of the best that ever did it. RIP

@coldplay MJ was the best of the best. His music and performances made the world a brighter place. His light will shine on forever.

Justin Timberlake: “We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music but of all music.”

@chriscornell Just Heard Michael Jackson died. Makes me sad. I remeber the Jackson 5 on a black and white tv. He had magic!

@rayraysaadiq God, Thank you for giving us Michael Jackson, And thank you Michael for giving us real music, your legend can never die,

@heavyd RIP….BEST THAT EVER DI IT….MJ

@neildiamond Michael Jackson was brilliant and I will miss him.

@SaraBareilles I’m sad that Michael Jackson died. And Farrah. What a weird day. I’m going to eat cheese and watch CNN. Sniff.

Actually, I like that one, and this next one entertains me because it was posted this morning.

@backstreetboys If the MJ rumors are true, our hearts go out 2 his family + all his fans. He was & always will b one of our inspirations.

This one gives me hope for celebrities. They are like us; they’re crazy too.

@seankingston RT: MJ died the 25th , Aaliyah died the 25th, Static Major died the 25th, Left Eye the 25th too, James Brown 12/25 ..WOW!
