The Best In Brief
M.J.'s Star-Studded Memorial
As more than 1.6 million fans prepare to attend Michael Jackson’s funeral at the Staples Center on Tuesday, the people who knew him best may have already had their chance to say goodbye. Last night, at Forest Lawn Cemetery, members of the Jackson family paid their respects to Jackson in a private service, where a casket wrapped in a blue cloth was seen being unloaded and reloaded into a hearse. But the public sendoff will be a much bigger affair: Usher, Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, and Mariah Carey along with Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson and Lionel Richie are all set to perform at Tuesday's public service. Also expected are Jackson’s long-time friend (and once-rumored fling) Brooke Shields, Martin Luther King Jr. III, Reverend Al Sharpton, as well as Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson, the latter of whom appeared in Jackson’s music video for “Remember the Time.”

Finally the world, especially mine, will see the end to this "hip-hop" festival today, 6/7/2009. Good riddance to this over rated entertainer. Now we will be bambarded by his greedy family trying to get their share of the wealth. It never ends with these "freaks." A gold casket!! Give me a break you dummies.

This world is down the tubes-I can't believe what I'm seeing--I can't even turn on my TV-We had soldiers killed in Afghanistan over the weekend-Robert McNamara died-Who cares? Millions throng to the Staples Center to worship-Their God is there-Pray to Oprah to raise him up--What the hell is going on? I never again want to hear FOX News boast about being the only channel to give the straight news-They're more caught up in this filthy fiasco than anyone-
This is an embarrassment to all concerned- cheap crass commercialisum to it's highest degree

That crap is on every channel! yikes, glad I can read and type!
Martin Luther, Jr. III? I don't think so.
To the God-LESS and evil doers..there's a pit awaiting for all y'all..
...the MJ legacy JUST began..so it's not over and never will be.. in fact, you gonna see more of MJ's legacy for YEARS TO COME...especially thru his children..
The family did a good job with the memorial. MJ's music lives on. Condolences to his children, may they get the guidance they need.
Thank you.
