I couldn’t watch it all. What an evil, disgusting individual he is. Reminds me of that lady that killed her kids, then had a “birthday party”, spraying silly string on their graves.

I don’t think the Dad lives with the mother now, he lives in Vegas acting like some wanna be big wig......

The mother should do whatever she can to keep those kids away from Joe.....

Thank goodness for that. From what I’ve read, mom’s a wonderful person. No wonder MJ wanted to be a girl, didn’t want to be like his dad.

I’m sure Joe has ordered the official “Michael Jackson 2009 Live from the Grave” tour t-shirts for sale at this austere event.

Thanks for posting this. I was having MJ withdrawal. So hard to find the latest news.

Is he going to charge for a viewing?

I truly despise this man.

Jackson said that he was physically and emotionally abused by his father [Joe Jackson] from a young age, enduring incessant rehearsals, whippings and name-calling.

Recalled by Marlon Jackson — Joseph held Michael upside down by one leg and “pummeled him over and over again with his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks”. Joseph would also trip or push his male children into walls. One night while Jackson was asleep, Joseph climbed into his room through the bedroom window.

Wearing a fright mask, he entered the room screaming and shouting. Joseph said he wanted to teach his children not to leave the window open when they went to sleep. For years afterwards, Jackson said he suffered nightmares about being kidnapped from his bedroom. In 2003, Joseph admitted to the BBC that he had whipped Jackson as a child.

Jackson first spoke openly about his childhood abuse in a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey. He said that during his childhood he often cried from loneliness and would sometimes start to vomit upon seeing his father.

In Jackson’s other high profile interview, Living with Michael Jackson (2003), the singer covered his face with his hand and began crying when talking about his childhood abuse. Jackson recalled that Joseph sat in a chair with a belt in his hand as he and his siblings rehearsed and that “if you didn’t do it the right way, he would tear you up, really get you”.

After plugging his record company

I saw that. His son has just died ... he gives a press conference, and the first thing he says is, he has formed a record company???

Also, his English is so bad, one would almost think he came from another country.

I also got no sense of sadness or grief from him -- none whatsoever.

I'd as soon submit to having my fingernails pulled, or at the very least, being WATER-BOARDED!

While we must not speak evil of the recently deceased, IS HE BURIED YET and all of the feeding-frenzy coverage with him???

But Joe Jackson says the funeral will not be closed to the public,

Of courses not. How could Joe sell tickets if it were to be closed to the public.

Diane said she witnessed one voice incident in person.

“I was there one day when someone asked him about Gloria Allred, the attorney that has sort of dogged him and turned around in one foul swoop and said ‘She can go to hell’ in this big, deep masculine voice.”

Michael’s close friends Liza Minelli and David Gest agree with Dimond, telling Larry King back in 2002 they also heard Michael’s voice change during a phone conversation.

But, according to Dimond, his voice isn’t the only thing Jackson changes, as she says there might even be some looks we’ve never seen.

“I quote a source in the book who says long ago, and I’m talking back in the early 90s, she was a bedroom maid and in the bedroom closet there were racks of disguises, wigs and false teeth,” Dimond claims. “And there was a tray of prosthetic noses that he would wear, that he had to wear to cover up the surgical scars.”

In regards to Diane’s book, Michael Jackson’s spokesperson told Access Hollywood: “Diane Diamond’s assertions warrant no response.”

Burying him at Neverland, according to some media. An open funeral there would be the show Wacko always wanted and won’t get to see.

Michael’s close friends Liza Minelli and David Gest

Any reason to post this picture of the freakshow. Liz looks like a linebacker in drag...

Oh thank God it’s open to the public—I was afraid I was going to miss it. NOT!!!
Glen Beck interrupted his show several times to tell us that MJ was still dead. I was surprised to hear this because I’d assumed that he must have risen by now.

“...How about the LA Coliseum? Is that big enough?...”

How about Cowboys Stadium. I think it’s larger and better looking. Plus its got a HUGE hi-def video board that could be used for better images of the dearly departed.
