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.

70. I think its great they're having the memorial service at either the Staples Centre or Nokia Theater. Michael always said he was married to the stage, married to his fans, and married to his work. I think its perfect for everyone to say their final goodbyes to him in the one place no one ever hurt him, ridiculed him or made a joke of him.. the one place he was able to be himself and share with the world his amazing talent.

I wish I could be there for this, but sadly I'm on the other side of the country! Does anyone know if there will be a video taping of the memorial service?

71. Staples or Nokia? .. larger or smaller venue? depends on the number of projected ticket sales.

This is not a memorial but a staged event.

72. Yo Cleveland, maybe Michael was innocent. He was found not guilty and most people believe that he was innocent and was found innocent by a jury. Maybe those people who made the accusations just wanted to get rich through defaming Michael. Ever think of that?
Who are you to Judge? If you hate Michael as much as it seems, why do you come back to all of these Michael stories everyday?
As has been said before , get a life.

73. So Forest Lawn first? IS this so the Family can bury Michael then have a empty casket at the staples center later? Cause Im sure it will be a closed casket, right?

75. My address is ---- nowhere near the disgusting west side of Cleveland.
Michael did more charity for children than you could ever fathom or you will ever do. Why don't you get off of the TMZ website with your gay name and go do charity work.
Michael was attacked because he was rich and successful. You are obviously neither.
