Michael Jackson's Grand Farewell

61. With that many celebrities there, I'm sure they'll have scanner devices like in the airport.

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

62. On the behalf of all Michael Jackson fans out there. All you haters and guys that post negative comments: BEAT IT!

63. You forget that the Jackson Family are Jehovah's Witnesses. The memorial service (from my experience as a witness) is seperate from the actual funeral. The body usually isn't present. I've never heard of a Jehovah's Witness memorial where the body is on display. It goes against the whole "resurrection" theme. They don't concentrate on what was left behind, they wait for the New System when they will be given a new, perfect body and live forever on a paradise earth. (There's not going to be talk about "Heaven" -- because Michael Jackson was probably not on of the 144,000.) They don't think his soul went to heaven. They don't have an explaination of where his soul/spirit is right now...that's probably why he's wandering around Neverland as a Ghost, on CNN, with Larry King...haunting Neverland, until the New System happens.

64. The hearse was not there long enough for them to do any kind of memorial of visitation (even if it was supposed to be closed casket)...look at the time stamps of the updates.

65. They should paint him black again...
Maybe sell add space on his coffin.
Give his obssesive fans something to talk about.
Please dont Riot at his services.
I hear they will be serving Jesus Juice for the kiddies.

66. I wouldn't be surprised if he is relocated to Neverland like Elvis was. This cemetery is really nice, but I don't see it EVER being peaceful again once his actual plot (or crypt) location gets out.

67. I guess he's going on tour afterall....

68. 41. @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.

Yeah, thats what I'm thinking. No one ever confirmed if the body was going to be there or not and that website has had that posted up there for a few days. I don't think its possible for them to be the ONLY ones to know when MJ will be buried and not have any other news station broadcast it.

69. Wow! This is insane at first they said that they were going to have a private memorial only now all of the insanity begins. I hope that LA is ready for this. They will need the LAPD, US army and the Swat team to handle the millions who are planning to show up. Many blessings goes out to the Jackson family.

71. I feel fans would appreciate being allowed to participate in the 'Memorial Service' and said services should be conducted in a dignified manner, befitting MJ's stature as the 'King of Pop'. Family members have a long history of abusing, misusing and exploiting MJ...I hope they don't squeeze the last drop of formaldehyde from his corpse before fans can say their 'goodbyes' at the Staple Center. RIP

72. I am predicting death, riots, bloodshed, theft, rape, overcharging, and violence. LA can't do anything with having those things present.

73. According to ETOnline, it says exactly the following: (read the second sentence)

"A casket has been removed from the Hall of Liberty at Forest Lawn Memorial-Park and loaded into a hearse.

The hearse then drove to another area of the cemetery, where the casket was unloaded into a different building."

Souunds like they changed the plans in public so LA would not be quaking. I'd run with what TMZ is reporting at this late time... sounds like they might have an 'in'. Besides, why in the world REALLY would LAPD put up a 4 block radius block? C'mon. Hightened security just to keep people from standing outside a building.

Great scoop TMZ.

74. "SPECTACLE" IS RIGHT!

What a joke!

75. I think it's a ruse - a trick for the media. I truly think Michael's at Neverland now.

Elizabeth Taylor isn't going to the memorial - had his body been there, she'd be there.
