We've just spoken to Tito Jackson who tells us the Jackson family is currently together and discussing funeral arrangements for Michael.
Tito says the family is spending quality time together today and discussing plans about Michael's funeral. He tells us MJ's kids are in "good spirits."
We asked if there were plans for a public memorial, in addition to the private service -- Tito said that option was being discussed now.
31. The Jackson family is supplying you with information so please show respect to them in their time of grief. I just hope they can handle all the vultures who come out of the woodwork for more financial gain. Three children involved will certainly flush out Debbie Rowe and lord knows who else will come forward claiming little blanket.

34. To Michael's Family my deepest sympathies. If I were able to offer my personal opinion, I feel you need to be careful when planning and thinking of having either a private or public funeral. I would express my opinion in saying that the outpouring of love and grief at the moment could be overcome if the public hadn't the opporunity to say goodbye to this true unique star. I imagine that when you witness what will be overwhelming if a public funeral were to take place that this would help in the years ahead when life will continue for you without Michael. Maybe he had specific requests himself for when he left thsi world? However, I believe he would like to leave us in the spotlight being the true showman he has been for all of his life and all of ours. Respectfully from Ireland. X

36. NEVERLAND would be the best place. I am kind of afraid if he is buried in another place people would steal the corpse.

37. They will have to do a public memorial. The fans will riot if they don't!

38. Lets sit back and watch perez try to put a spin on the Matthew Shephard foundation denouncing his so called donation.
Perez needs to pay for his callous and obscene comments he made towards Michael when he fell ill. For that POS to mock him on his death bed is unforgiveable.
RIP MJ. We will never forget you.

39. Hmmm...need to check on flights to cali....dam If I could find a cheap flight......I would definitely go. I wasn't born til a year AFTER Elvis passed so I couldn't say my goodbyes to one of my other faves. What was the article a couple days ago...like the day of the death, about Elton John singing for Michael. You think he would sing for Michaels funeral?
I have a short list of those who I would want to see....Janet of course,Madonna, Elton John, Diana Ross, Lisa Marie could say a word or two maybe...Macauley Culkin and Emmanuel Lewis...Liza will def be there...
So wait a sec...I just realized something. Rev Al sharpton isn't he based in NYC? what was he doing in cali and finding out about MJ so quick like he did. It was like someone flashed the Bat signal and all of a sudden Jesse Jackson and Rev Al appeared out of thin air. I saw Rev Al once, he has puffy hair...its pretty freaky in real life.

40. Wwll, Debbie IS the mother of two of his kids.
Michael apparently kept everyone at a distance, including his own family and Debbie. But she has claim to her kids now.

45. Jackos doc went to Meharry Medical school. This is by for the worst medical school in the Country. Check the facts. This man is a fool with a degree from a joke of a medical college.
