Michael Jackson's Grand Farewell

Michael Jackson's Grand FarewellMichael Jackson will create even more pandemonium in death than he did in life -- his body will take center stage at Tuesday's public memorial at the Staples Center in downtown L.A.

The family will hold a private memorial early in the morning at Forest Lawn -- where the body is now. The coffin will then be transported to Staples for what promises to be one of the biggest spectacles in L.A. history.

We will be live streaming everything as it happens beginning early in the AM.

46. I still think it's a ruse to get the copters to the Staples Center so then everyone else can turn to the second star on the right - then to Neverland.

49. @36: That is what has been reported for the last few days, but this has caught us by surprise as well. I'm not so sure that's a reliable source anymore.

50. Do you think he will do this again at the Memorial ????

51. My prime thoughts are with his spirit. It is just his flesh they are carrying around at the cemetary right now and tomorrow through the streets of LA. His soul rests now, far away. The breath of life is out of him.

After his burial we should start to go back to normal life. Surrender him into the hands of God eternally, the best place he can be.

52. I don't think the LAPD has any idea the amount of people that will show up around the Staples center tomorrow..MJ's fan are passionate. The media or anyone else cannot take the love and compassion we have for Michael.

53. I don't believe it, who says this is happening? Having a memorial is fine but a very bad idea to bring the coffin/body to it. And if this is happening, I'll bet it's closed casket because it will be empty.

54. Oh man I was praying his body would NOT be there! Theres to many nut jobs out there, I really dont think its a good idea to do that!

56. Honestly, i wouldnt be surprised if joe jackson is having him taken apart to sell to the highest bidder. He is one sick individual and will squander, quickly, whatever of mj's he gets his hands on.

57. What a time for a terrorist attack! How will they ever know if there's a bomber in the mob until one goes off.

58. It's being reported by ET Online, that the body has just been "removed from the Hall of Liberty at Forest Lawn Memorial-Park and loadedback into the hearse". Moving it to another building...This just happened before them cutting off their live feed...

59. TMZ seemed to have some things correct but I highly doubt the body will be there tomorrow. The live stream showed the hearse move the casket from the auditorium to his burial place.
