TIME Magazine has published a special commemorative edition in honor of the recently deceased “king of pop” Michael Jackson.

According to ETOnline, celebrities like Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Clive Davis and Kobe Bryant have penned tributes to the pop star and “the mark he has made on the world of music and pop culture.”

The issue, which came out on newsstands today, also features “a 10-album catalog of chart-topping hits” and a chronology of his life.

Jackson fans on Twitter were eager to pick up their copy of the special edition:

ABC’s “Samantha Who?” and Fox’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” will not be returning in the fall, according to news reports.

“Samantha Who?,” starring Christina Applegate, was originally expected to return to the ABC lineup, but was unable to tighten its budget enough to come back for what would have been the show’s third season.

According to Variety, ABC looked to cut around $500,000 by making several changes including switching from single camera shooting to using multiple cameras. The series, however, became less of a priority after ABC picked up 10 new series. Although “Samantha” showed great promise on Mondays, it began to falter when it switched to ABC’s Thursday night lineup.

Twitterers were caught by surprise after the announcement:

1. 
   kraulspace @pamelaribon My condolences. My mom and I bonded (not in a matching red jacket way) over Samantha Who? Nothing else makes us both laugh.
2. 
   amandabedgood @AccentOnLife say is isn’t so of Samantha Who? Such a cute show!
3. 
   voyage2k @EWPopWatch That’s really stupid! Samantha Who? was a very clever and funny show!

Fox’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” also suffered a similar fate. Although the show had promising numbers in its Monday time slot, the viewership fell after it was moved mid-season to Fridays.

Both “Dollhouse” and “Sarah Connor” were up in the air for third season renewals and Fox ultimately felt “Dollhouse” was the best bet, giving it a renewal, according to TV Guide.

Even with “Terminator Salvation” due out in theaters this summer, Fox said buzz for the movie will not bring the show back. The show “has completed its run — and I think it had a nice little run,” Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly said in the article. “We make no apologies. It had a huge launch … and we gave it a lot of support. We tried, but it’s time to move on.”

Twitterers shared their disappointment:
