Here we are at 6pm PCT, finishing up our beautiful 4th of July weekend…
ON THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS…CROSSING OUR FINGERS TO BE THE LUCKY WINNERS TO MICHAEL JACKSON’S LOS ANGELES MEMORIAL AT THE STAPLES CENTER.
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock…
*THIS JUST IN* Breitbart news source reports that tickets have begun to trickle out to people who registered NOW! Tonight! Sunday!
“OMG OMG OMG OMG i got tickets to the Michael Jackson memorial service!!!” tweeted Deka Daye from San Francisco. Other messages came from users in Scotland and Iran.”
WHOA! WAIT…Did they just say “messages came from users in Scotland and Iran”? Do they mean that people in other countries get the chance to go to the event? That’s weird because a couple days ago, the StaplesCenter.com stated that “all who register, must be U.S.A. citizens.”
Okay, so did Staples let the “U.S. citizen rule” slide today? Is this a mistake? We aren’t being mean, bias or pompous about ‘other countries’ than America, we just thought the rules were only allowing American citizens to enter the memorial contest. Let’s face it, how are these winners from other countries going make it to the memorial anyway? Flights are probably packed, hotels are jammed…how will they travel the distance to make it on time?

AEG took out a huge insurance policy in case Michael Jackson’s 50 London concerts but it fell through.
AEG’s chief executive Randy Phillips said the $17.5 million insurance policy from Lloyd’s of London only covered a Michael Jackson overdose but didn’t cover a death from natural causes.
Phillips said the policy would still fall short of the money spent on Jackson’s advance, producing the show, covering some of Michael’s debts and paying his staff and rent, which cost between $25 and $30 million.

More than 750,000 Michael Jackson fans can get full refunds for the pop star’s canceled 50-night “This is It” concert extravaganza—or opt to receive souvenir tickets instead, the promoters announced Monday.
In a move that could help recoup some of its losses from the ill-fated tour, Los Angeles-based AEG Live said fans could choose to receive the actual tickets, which it said feature graphics “inspired and designed” by Jackson himself.
Images of the tickets, complete with a 3-D effect, can be viewed on the Web site http://www.MichaelJacksonLive.com beginning Wednesday, AEG said in a statement. Fans have until Aug. 14 to take the ticket offer.
