Jackson Memorial Tuesday at LA Arena After Family Service

20,000-seat coliseum will host farewell to the King of Pop

Share

(Newser) – A memorial service for Michael Jackson will go ahead Tuesday at Los Angeles’ Staples Center next week, CNN reports, and, according to TMZ, will follow a private, family service at a local cemetery. It’s unclear whether Tuesday’s public event, set for 10am, will be at Staples’ 20,000-seat arena or a smaller venue within the complex.

Oh hell, why not throw it at the Olympic Stadium! Firstly you are going to have to deal with the oversize egos of Jesse & the Rev. Al. Secondly there are all wackos. Thirdly there is the family & their syncophants (what a great word). Lastly, & you heard it here, what a great opportunity for the Holy Father to put in a guest appearance. Reply

I will most likely watch the memorial service on the telly with remote control in hand, so I can make a fast flip of the channel..when Sharpton or Jessie Jackson opens their big yappers. We all know those two are gonna be right there in the lime light with their sidekick Joe. Reply

I'm with you - Jessie Jackson, Sharpton and Joe Jackson are all pimps - it's all about the fame and money. The more I see of Jessie Jackson taking photo op's on the Michael Jackson death, the more respect I lose for him. Sharpton and Joe never had my respect.
