MJ Burial After-Party -- Brought to You By A&E

Posted Sep 4th 2009 3:06PM by TMZ Staff

Michael JacksonThere were cameras shooting everything at the after-party for Michael Jackson's burial -- and we're told the whole thing could end up on A&E.

Sources tell TMZ footage from inside the party -- as well as the funeral itself -- will be used for an A&E special, plus a DVD at a later date.

Don't expect to see Joe or Katherine Jackson, Michael's three children or Elizabeth Taylor in the footage though -- we're told none of them went to the restaurant after the burial.

A few other random tidbits about the affair: Rat Pack music played all night, "Casablanca" was projected onto the walls, the brothers talked about a reunion tour -- and Janet seemed the most grief stricken of the group.

2. Why were the Jacksons delayed from their own son's funeral for almost 1 1/2hours? Were the people there ever told why?

11. Last night a commentator said that LaToya's dress was not appropriate for a burial, but rather for a tv or movie related appearance. I did not see it until this morning, and I'd have to agree with the commentator. Janoet on the other hand, was dressed appropriately, and with class fitting the occassion.

I would consider the party to be a repast if Katherine and the children were there. This way, it just looks like staging.

14. This brood of siblings are like a bunch of wild pack dogs just waiting for a animal to fall so they can pounce on it and devour it. $$$$$$.

What a bunch of LAZY, JOBLESS, MORALLY BANKRUPT LOSERS..... In there own brothers DEATH and BURIAL, they plan, they scheme, " How can we get rich off this?",

I would imagine their dead brother is thanking GOD he is finally free of this bunch of FREE LOADING JACKALS.

15. The news reported that the Jacksons' departure to drive to Forrest Lawn was delayed because they were waiting for traffic conditions to improve. I used to live in greater L.A. and this makes perfect sense to me. Everyday there are periods of time when the freeways become a big parking lot with no moving cars, and this condition can last for a long time. There are wrecks that cause this, as well as rush hour traffic, which would occur any evening as people are commuting home from work. I noticed the police escort was not even in place until about 10 minutes before the Jacksons were allowed to leave, so the police were the ones calling the shots as to when they could go. Stop blaming the Jacksons, it wasn't their fault they were late. They had to sit in those cars for so long the kids' legs fell asleep and Prince almost fell over after he got out of the car.
