King of Pop who had publicly dissed Egypt's pro-democracy protests - went to Tahrir Square to apologize. Bad idea. First Tamer Hosny was run out of Cairo's main square with catcalls and punches late Tuesday night, and the army had to save him. Then he started to cry - on video. "I want to die today," Hosny said, blubbering on a YouTube video that burned up the Internet yesterday.
