Michael Jackson Has Finally Been Laid To Rest
The King of Pop was laid to rest last night at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, 70 days after his death. The "private" funeral was attended by Michael's children, his family and friends including Elizabeth Taylor, Macaulay Culkin, Lisa Marie Presley, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Al Sharpton, Corey Feldman, Miko Brando, Quincy Jones, Chris Tucker, Barry Bonds and the girl from That 70s Show.
The service was supposed to begin at sunset, but the Jackson family arrived nearly 2 hours late. The Jackson family didn't allow any media inside, but they did hire their own production team and handed out pictures (below). Michael's funeral was supposed to air live on TV, but the plug was pulled right before the service started. Some say the Jackson family decided at the last minute it should be private. Others say the Jackson family plan to sell a DVD of the service at a later time. And I say Joe Jackson tripped on the power cord. Wouldn't that be ironic?
The Rev. Al Sharpton, who spoke at the service, Tweeted during the funeral. Can you take this one, because I can't with Al Sharpton anymore.
After the ceremony, Michael's brothers carried his gold casket into the Great Mausoleum. The Jackson family issued this statement right after the funeral:
"The Jackson Family wishes to once again thank all of Michael's fans around the world for their generous outpouring of support during this terribly difficult time. Their expressions of love for Michael and his music have sustained the Jackson Family."
And now I can finally finally say: Rest in peace, Michael.

So sad. It seems really final now. Part of me still hoped he'd jump out of that gold coffin and yell "surprise suckers!" His family is really pissing me off. Still being used and mistreated in death, the way he always was in life. I just hope his poor little kids will be okay. RIP Michael...you'll be missed.
Okay, so he died over 2 months ago and was JUST buried. I realize this, but I haven't been following closely. Does anyone know why the long delay? It's not only ridiculous, it's gross. Not to mention, the worst part of all is that it's cruel to his kids. They need to get all the funeral stuff behind them and start grieving and moving on. This is extremely abnormal - gee, go figure.
I cannot stomach Joe Jackson. Opportunistic bastardo. And this funeral shit. ENOUGH!
Damn 70 days to burry MJ,I wonder what celeb had the longest time not being burried?
Mila and Macaulay are a odd but cute couple... This is like the third picture of them Ive seen together lol
ASU MADRE!!!!! Joe Jackson.
I wish someone would bury Joe Jackson and Al Sharpton...together....alive.
MK I like how you wrote this post. I can sense your frustration and sadness over this situation and I feel the same way.
He would've been buried 2 months ago had they not been required by Megan's Law to bury him at least 501 feet from the nearest child.

Yeah, damn, how many times is this poor dude going to be buried/viewed/televised after he's been dead for how long now??
I wonder how the children are adjusting to showing their faces in public.....

Whores of a feather, trick the streets together!
It's so sad to do this funeral over and over. Joe Jackson better not sell this tape
I hope to god his coffin isn't solid gold because if it is you can guarantee it will be stolen.
Micheals father looks like something from hell
and the girl from that 70's show is there because she boinging Mac Colkin.
that said, rest in peace mike. come back and haunt neverland if you want. thats if you haven't started already!!!!mooooohaaaaaaah!

I agree that the kids don't stand a chance with this f***ed up family. The only one that *seems* half-way normal is Rebbie. So sad!
Funniest line of the week: And I say Joe Jackson tripped on the power cord. Wouldn't that be ironic?
How do you come up with this stuff?
WHOA! Mac and Mila are still fucking married?!
I honestly believe he was a tourtured soul and after seeing that it took almost 3 months to bury him even more so, it's like WTF in the Dominican Republic when someone dies they call you up within minutes of them dying cause the wake is usually an hour or so after they pass cause in less than 8 hours they're ass is buried so this is puzzling to me that it would take this long! I'm worried they'll prop him up for Xmas just so they can have another big production or to remind us of him once again.
I <3 Janet though!
y tu mama tambien!

Janet looks great here
***********************************
Made me look. The difference between Janet and LaToya is pretty noticeable. LaToya's wearing an embarrassingly low-cut frock with gold and diamonds and gloves and a big, fancy hat. Janet is dressed very simply - with almost no accessories, hardly any make up...hmmm...:( I'm really just so glad he's free of all this.

So now you try to pull the race card and it just backfires in your face hard cuz you know we don't play that black and white shit.

Wow. 70 days to bury him and they still manage to show up 2 hours late? Those poor kids don't have a change with this crew. Poppy Joe will be pimpin' them out just in time for a "Paris, Blanket & Prince Wish You A Very Merry Christmas" CD.
"Selling footage of a funeral"
Had to read it again, how did I miss that? Damn! MJ was that families only meal ticket in life and now they are profiting from his death. None of the other "men" in that family have ever earned a dime alone have they? Now they are going to try and make the kids start performing if Joe has his way. Those poor kids don't stand a chance. The only person that ever loved Michael and really took care of him out of love & concern was Elizabeth Taylor. I wonder how she is dealing with all of this? It has to be tearing her apart.
time to move on a play some of this really loud,take a bong hit, and DANCE!:

twittering at a fucking funeral?
Submitted by Notoriousrem_22 on Fri, 09/04/2009 - 11:29am.
they said the same thing about Whitney Houston, remember? she wasn't singing "black enough".
Funny how his funeral was filled with 'black' people even though while this man was still on Earth they were the first ones to cast him out of their community. 'Blacks' need to learn to have a better sense of community and unity, always trying to bring each other down. Then crying about how much of a 'great African American icon' M.J. was once he is gone. The amount of hate the African American community showed M.J before his demise was REPULSIVE. Nice convenient amnesia.
R.I.P M.J. I will always remember you for your compassion, talent and love. May you now be in peace.
Am a fan, but really he should have thought about his health a bit more, prior to bringing 3 kids into this world, under those bizarro circumstances, who are now left fatherless, and motherless.
Kindof selfish that he created a nuclear family where he was the only parent, given his health and addiction problems.
RIP-
Janet looks great here
Time to focus on what meant the most to Michael... healing the world, getting along, LOVE, being child-like and stop fighting with one another. Can't we focus on the positive?
Dam about time the got him in the ground he is probably getting a little ripe!

he might've been more sane if his family didn't fuck him up. never said he was perfect. far from it. just feeling some compassion for the man. is that not allowed anymore?
Hmmm..what a mess. Glad it's over. most kings were a little 'off' right?
hope he can be a little boy again where ever he goes...seemed to be his biggest wish
rip
May MJ finally get to rest in peace now.
And please satan come and get that shady, pervert looking, piece of shit Joe Jackson NOW.
...and finally the old molester is packed in safe, his victims heave a collective sigh of relief.
Both Al Sharpton and the crazy child beater who was a molester too, get the attention they both can't live without - only one will sell footage of a FUCKING FUNERAL AND THINK THAT'S NORMAL.
I wished they'd buried the entire lot of them.

If someone tweeted during my funeral I would rise up out of my grave and choke his ass to death. And after choking Al Sharpton I'd strangle Joe Jackson because he's just a piece of shit anyway.
*******
my thoughts exactly....joe jackson is a more obvious piece of shit but al comes close with his kinda subtle sometimes piece of shit ways
Joe looks as straight-up insane as he acts. That tired old queen needs to just hide his ugly face instead of posing.
*Oh my!*
I just got a good look at tafukya's costume-that bitch got a good dose of crazy from her Dada didn't she? She is consistent though. Always dressed inappropriately. Looked like a $4 hooker at the memorial and looked like one here as well.
I love Mac & Mila together. She aint stupid; she found herself a rich dude and can keep her $ for herself. And 7 yrs is a longtime especially in Hollywood. RIP MJ.

I hope that Gold Casket was laced with Frebreeeze because dude must have been starting to STANK!
No shit, M.E.! Hell, Michael was dead so long that he had started stankin' before Dr. Murray stopped the CPR.
Seriously, there wasn't much flesh to decompose in the first place.

I'm surprised that Joe Jackson didn't have him mummified so he could chop him up and sell the bits. Asshat certainly took long enough getting him in the ground.
That said, I'm dreading the amount of Joe Jackson we're gonna be hammered with in the years to come. When he isn't sacrificing his "grandkids" on the altar of stardom, he'll be raking in every last buck that Michael's death can get him. Yay.
sugar free, most people don't have failings like ODing to death, carving their faces to bits, and diddling little boys then paying their way out of it. I refuse to ignore his sins and freakishness just because he's dead.

Mmmmmm. Macauley Culkin. Delicious.
Love that necklace of Africa that Joe always wears.
I wonder what will happen when the Jackson family stops making the payments on the plot or drawer or wherever it is that MJ is being planted.
I can't figure out if that oldest boy looks more like the dermatologist or the Home Alone kid, although I'm leaning towards the dermatologist.

BUT BUT BUT...chicken Butt, The goll danged Terminator was thar.
AND AND AND, we could get our drank on.
Forgive this hick hillbillyness of mine, but I am silently talking like Forrest Gump & The Brad in "Kalifornia" in mah head.
MJ took 2 months to be buried, this was all a waste of time and money, the estate paid for the funeral, MJ footed the bill for his own funeral.
Irony, the funeral crasher.
/\
I hate you but I'm not in hate with you.
NOW will all coverage of the Jackson clan cease and desist?
RIP, MJ. You were one very misunderstood individual. Where you didn't have peace in life, I'm sure you'll find it now. You will be missed. :(
I like Mila with Mac C. I know he literally looks like a fish out of water sometimes with those lips but I think he's kind of adorable. I've read some interviews with Mila and she's a pretty big nerd. She was quoting Star Trek and talking about she and Mac playing World of Warcraft together.
Stocky! LOL @ MJ sippy cup! Somebuddy pass the Jesus Juice!
