It would be awesome if those drums were Decepticons waiting to pounce on everyone involved with Michael Jacksons memorial later this morning. Seems unlikely. Hopefully you’re fascinated by all this because today is gonna be dominated by Michael Jackson like it was a drugged up little boy. Here’s the latest:
- The memorial from Staples is expected to begin in just over one hour, at 10am pct, 1pm ect.
- Family and friends arrived at Forest Lawn cemetery just about an hour ago (8am pct, 11am ect) for a private memorial. He will not be buried obviously, as his body will then be taken to Staples Center and placed on stage for the public memorial.
- Jacksons body will be escorted from Forest Lawn by a SWAT team, or maybe even flown on a fire department helicopter if the already “heavy” police escort is not enough.
- Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, the surviving Jackson brothers, Stevie Wonder and Usher will all perform, and rumor is John Mayer, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Beyonce and Whitney Houston could as well.
The public part of all this - the escorts, police presence, securing the freeways and area around Staples - is expected to cost well over 4 million. That of course will be paid for by the City of Los Angeles. 4 million is a lot of money to throw away on a private citizens funeral, but considering none of the Jackson actually live or pay taxes there, it makes sense.
Hey wait…
“I think we’ve covered hate fucking a couple dozen times so I think I’m ok”
Would that make hate-fucking a sore subject for you, snatch?
Is everyone loading the lie feed for the funeral? tell the truth
humph
NOT I.
I will yune in when the 8.75 earthquake hits the Staple Center.
sore as in my ass?
TMI?
after 5 years with someone you get the occasional “I’m bored get off me” fuck, but not really the coveted hate fuck
Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, the surviving Jackson brothers, Stevie Wonder and Usher will all perform, and rumor is John Mayer, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Beyonce and Whitney Houston could as well.
If only the Taliban could have held out about 8 more years than they did…
I hope Oprah can attend….
Jennifer Hudson? is she performing because she’s black? I don’t see the connection
Poor MJ, for 50 years he wanted to be white, now he rides in a black limo and will be buried in a black coffin…
LA has to pony up $3.5M to police a bunch of moonwalkers? Good
Pepper….
….great point……he should have purchased “pre-planned” funeral services….
…they can’t be attached in bankruptcy proceddings…..
I got mine when I turned 70…
Jennifer Hudson will get up there and lipsync some sappy melodic r&b gospel song, being sobbing, then go into whining about how she knows what it feels like to lose someone because she recently lost half of her own family (yap yap yap).
Anybody wanna bet we’ll have a post about Hudson’s dramatic performance tomorrow and how it moved the attending Jacksons? Anybody? I got $20 on it.
It looks like they have one cop for every Nigg*er attending the Center.
I would bet you , but will you take one penny?
I don’t want to lose 20 bucks
good call
zombie, i don’t think the jacksons can be moved - this shit isn’t about losing a son, it’s about money!
today is perhaps the perfect time to break into a black mans house and steel back our TVs and cars….
Pepper you are terrible
pepper, how do you steel something?
and our women, pep
I guess LA sees it as a reward
4 million now to celebrate he’s dead or 20 million fighting the 1,000 molestation cases
