Hollywood in mourning over the death of Michael Jackson

Hollywood is in mourning today at the news of Michael Jackson's premature passing yesterday. Some of Tinseltown's elite who worked with MJ over the years have released their own tributes to the King Of Pop.

"Michael Jackson was extraordinary," Martin Scorsese said. "When we worked together on 'Bad,' I was in awe of his absolute mastery of movement on the one hand, and of the music on the other.

"Every step he took was absolutely precise and fluid at the same time. It was like watching quicksilver in motion. He was wonderful to work with, an absolute professional at all times, and - it really goes without saying - a true artist. It will be awhile before I can get used to the idea that he's no longer with us."

"Just as there will never be another Fred Astaire or Chuck Berry or Elvis Presley, there will never be anyone comparable to Michael Jackson," Steven Spielberg told Entertainment Weekly. "His talent, his wonderment and his mystery make him legend."

Back in the 1990's, Hollywood came out to appear in the music video for Jackson's superb Liberian Girl. John Travolta, Olivia Newton John, Lou Diamond Phillips, Debbie Gibson and Dan Ackroyd all appear in the promo. Watch it below.
