We've obtained a copy of Michael Jackson's death certificate. On cause of death, it says "deferred."

It does say Forest Lawn Cemetery was a "temporary" disposition of the body. As we first reported the body will not go back to Forest Lawn. Final burial is pending at an unknown location.
Jackson's occupation is listed as "musician." The type of business is "entertainment." Years in occupation -- 45.
As for race, the word "black" is written.
The informant -- the person who gave the information for the death certificate -- is listed as La Toya Jackson.
The place of residence is not listed as the Holmby Hills home -- rather, it's listed as his parents' home in Encino.

We've learned Michael Jackson's body will not be going back to Forest Lawn.
The body will go somewhere else pending final burial -- we don't know where that is. If a casket goes to Forest Lawn, it's a decoy.
We've learned the death certificate lists Forest Lawn as the responsible mortuary because the body was embalmed there -- but the rest is being kept secret.

There are various news reports that Michael Jackson's body is not in the casket -- absolutely not true.

Our sources -- who know -- say 100% Jackson's body is in the coffin that is being taken to Staples Center.

L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is asking fans of Michael Jackson to kick in and offset the $4 million it will cost the city to cover the city's costs associated with the funeral and memorial.
UPDATE -- All major credit cards accepted. Checks too.

Michael 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.

They say nothing is certain in life but death and taxes. But, even if you do land that offshore account in the Cayman islands, there's still the cold hand of death to attend to eventually. So, why not go out in style?
German company UONO is glamming up the graveyard with a new line of caskets which not only bare a striking resemblance to the torpedo Spock was shot out into space with, but it's environmentally friendly as well. Unlike the vulcan hero, the future deceased can choose their final resting box from a wide variety of colors, ranging from Pigeon Blue to Fir Green. While taking that long dirt nap, occupants will be happy to know the casket is completely bio-degradable. Which means no messy cleanup 20 years down the road.
We're thinking this ecologically sound casket is perfect for certain "green" celebrities like George Clooney, Tim Robbins, Alicia Silverstone and Leonardo DiCaprio.
