This is shocking! It is reported that Corey Feldman will not attend bf Corey Haim’s funeral! Read this statement from Corey Feldman on why he is deciding to not attend the funeral:
“In the days following my best friend Corey Haim’s death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me. I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey’s funeral, however, due to their strong religious beliefs and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey’s funeral on Tuesday a small private affair.
Instead, I will remain in Los Angeles quietly mourning and planning his memorial. As a sign of respect, I am asking the media to honor Corey Haim by making the same choice. I am working with a few people who were close to Corey to put a memorial together within the next month. At that time, the media will be invited to honor and celebrate the legacy he has left behind, along with friends, fans and the rest of the Hollywood community.”

It’s a rap; Michael Jackson is finally laid to rest. I am prepared to let it go and have avoided covering the funeral on these pages because I felt it was the family’s desire to say goodbye to Michael with as much privacy as possible, while still recognizing the great interest the world had for the final curtain call for the King of Pop.
I decided to write this footnote after seeing this picture of Michael’s kids asleep in a vehicle used to carry them to several of the functions that day.
To me, this picture puts a cap on the months of emotion we have all experienced since Michael’s passing.
Goodbye Michael, I did all I could to honor you while you made your great transition to the other side, to the light. Now the time has come for all of us, the living, to try and pick up the pieces and move on. It won’t be easy, however, we will always have your music to continue to be the soundtrack of our lives.

Here is Rihanna at the London premiere of “Inglourious Basterds” starring Brad Pitt, directed by Quentin Tarantino. Did she crash the red carpet? Who invited her?
Are these overloaded pearls a beg for attention? What is with her stylist? We always wonder…. Do you like this look on her? Kinda funeral-esque. We don’t believe her. FAULT.

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?

The Staples Center
Things are starting to clear up regarding Michael Jackson’s memorial services. By this time tomorrow, they’ll be crystal clear.
We knew the service would be held at the Staples Center. We now know that the service will be FREE to fans but there will only be 11,000 ticket to distribute. We don’t know how or when tickets will be available. More details will be known tomorrow morning when a press conference is held at 10 AM in front of the Staples Center.
This event is going to be massive so expect all the tickets to sell out incredibly quickly. This will literally be the last time to say goodbye to Michael Jackson.
Jackson’s body will eventually be laid to rest at Forest Lawn cemetery in Hollywood.

MJ's Tour poster "This Is It"
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.
For those opting for a refund, all service charges paid to authorized ticket sellers will be included, the statement said.
