Michael Jackson Funeral Plans

Michael JacksonSo finally we have something firm on Michael Jackson.

On Tuesday morning a motorcade will go from Forest Lawn Mortuary in L.A. to the Staples Center complex in downtown Los Angeles where the public memorial will be held.

We're told the family still hasn't decided whether the memorial will be at the Staples Center or the smaller Nokia Theatre. A decision on that is expected shortly.

48. ~WoW I am really surprised they overlooked these fine venues...the Nike Center for Exceptional People or the IKEA International Dance Hall or the Walmart Executive Complex or The Target-Sprint Pavilion or even The Trump Casino/ Board of Trade, Spa and Health Resort?........Seriously- bury the man at Neverland...he created it, it's monumental, it's his home...

49. I wonder if the news update about MJ will continue after the funeral is over. Or will the media do as they always, and let the story just dwindle into nothingness, day after day till we all forget the days we were waiting at the computer on TMZ, refreshing and waiting for some kind of updates about MJ. So sad, that it's only when a person dies, we are so hyped on them, and don't probably think twice about them, when they are alive =(

Side note; I do wish I was in L.A to go to the public viewing!

52. Staples Center insiders have confirmed Cher and her bevy of boy back up dancers will be performing a special tribute at the public memorial (MJ's body will not be there) The dancers began arriving this morning and are waiting for Cher to arrive. Debbi Allen is here doing something with another troupe of dancers (sorta lion king looking) 10 million ballons are on order to be dropped on the crowd at the end of the rumored 4 hour memorial. Justin Timberlake and Brittney are doing a duet for Michael a remake of 1972's oscar winning song "The Morning After" Lets just home the staples center does not turn upside down at midnight. ABC rumored to carry the entire memorial commerical free and live! stay tuned

53. What happened to Capt EO and MOONWALKER movies Michael did? Why r they never mentioned

54. He should have been taken back to Never Land a place he so dearly loved. Which just shows why Cal, is as deep in debit as it is, & not able to pay it's own bills, poor decisions. They can bury any 1500LB horse in the Never Land area but not one King of Pop. Why Cal. is forever off my places to spend well earned $.

55. Ha ha ha ha - Ashley called out West Side Cleveland. She said your name is gay and so are you. Maybe she just doesn't like Cleveland or maybe she is correct in saying your name is gay.

58. It seems that by posting the funeral plans on the TMZ site, that the 'private' part of the funeral won't (or rather) isn't really private. At 10:00 a.m., there will be hoards of press, media, gossip magazines, paparazzi, etc. surrounding Forest Lawn. Way to go to whomever decided to publicize this portion of the itinerary.
