TMZ.com, the entertainment/gossip Web site, has been leading the charge on the Michael Jackson mania for more than two weeks now, starting with being the first to break the news of his death 17 days ago.

The site has covered the story in excruciating, almost minute-by-minute detail, but amid the peephole-reporting, someone at TMZ may have had just a little bit too much time on his or her hands. The site has come up with a truly bizarre set of coincidences involving MJ and the number 7.
