61. Not really a MJ fan and probably like a lot of people sat on the fence with regards to him being innocent or not,read a lot of comments regarding MJ saying he was guna die like elvis presley if you read what is written on elvis' death is elvis really dead?there is a lot of similarities between the two cases so am now wondering is MJ really dead?or is it a big cover up cos he aint up to performing in his concerts an maybe he has been removed from public life in an attempt to protect him an his health,been thinkin this 4 a few days an this breakin news..........

62. WELL FINALLY! I THOUGHT THIS WAS WEIRD TO BEGIN WITH! WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT OF A PUBLIC VIEWING OF THE BODY????? THAT'S CRAZY!!! Hopefully, the person in charge just changed their mind about it or it was just a rumor to begin with...

Rest in peace, dear Michael Jackson!

63. No viewing? Right! Since the family has no meal ticket, they are going to hold out for a payment, and then allow a viewing....Joe, Jesse, and Al are ALL CROOKED. When it becomes financially beneficial to the family, there will be a viewing at Neverland.

65. Thank God, The family needs to have a private service, for just the family. A memorial later on for fans & friends would
be nice. His funeral would become a circus. Not needed at time of a death. Family should be aloud to grieve in private.
They loved him, he belongs with his family., RIP Michael.

66. the will was just made public! I just had the opportunity to look at MJ's will and it is "VERY FISHY..." Look at the handwriting style of each of the "MJ" initials on each page... the handwriting styles are DIFFERENT! The curves... the non-resemblence of technique... the techniques of the execution of the will of MJ's signature versus other documents and the "MJ" initials. This is most likely a scam document. Any lawyer will tell you that should a legal document required initials... they don't initial each paragraph in a will. It is initialled at the bottom of the page... and most do not even have initials. So why would a person of such fame and fortune have such a poorly written will by an attorney?

68. I forgot who announced the memorial/viewing in the first place! Have to find it unless someone remembers.

Okay, enough MJ news for me in one day.

RIP Michael. And to those who come here and diss TMZ for posting MJ news ... I heard Perez Hilton is looking for some new posters. Go away and quit griping for Pete's sake.

73. Well I am glad that I did not book my flights yet but I feel bad for the people who already did, trusting CNN and the like to be accurate.

74. HELL IS REALLY GONNA BREAK LOOSE!!!! but at the same time, that type of citizen control would NOT have been possible!!!! I'm starting to beleive if this is even really true?!? Since he was so sick and tired of EVERYTHING!! i wonder if this is all a big PUBLICITY STUNT ...making us believe he is dead ..to just get on with life in the "NORMAL" way he always wanted???? but if in case.....R.I.P. THE KING OF POP..have fun moonwalking on the clouds.
