Getting back to the memorial, they released footage last night of Michael's three sisters speaking to the auidence after the memorial service. I could barely tell it was LaToya under the huge hat and sunglasses. I hope she made things right between herself and her brother before he died. You just never know when you will last see your loved ones.
Wow.Hey Linsey!! ?Why so mean about it? I was not a big fan either but have some dignity please....for his kids' ..Little harsh.

Sorry, I hate replying to a post I haven't read. I signed to follow when it was 1st made, now there's almost 300 posts..

I don't know if someone posted the donation web site for the memorial - if anyone wants to donate, go HERE

From what I read on TMZ it says The city of Los Angeles has only received $17,000 of the $1.4 million it cost to put on Michael Jackson's memorial -- but it's not because MJ fans are cheap ... it's because of the complete failure of the official donation website.

How can they? The only one with money is Janet and until MJ's finances are settled, the money can't be taken from the estate. So either Janet will have to foot the bill, or CA will have to wait until MJ's finances are straightened out. The new record and video sales go directly to his estate and can't be touched.

So another case of the "wealthy" getting one over I suggest the state of CA send the M Jackson Estate a bill.

I'd like to hear that they donated; I'd like to hear celebrities as well as fans donated.

I hate to see California foot it all.

I agree that they should pay for at least half of it. I know they have money between all of them. Janet alone could probably pay for it.

I heard on tv the other day that they're not sure if Michael was even in the casket and they know his brain was removed for analysis.

A report on Inside Edition just had MJ's dermatologist on. He stated MJ had a form of skin Lupus. They showed what it would look like on the TV. It looked blotchy white, with sores. This was what he was treating MJ for in his office.

Then another doctor came on and said that this could be why MJ used umbrellas, makeup, masks, the Glove, a wheelchair due to pain in the joints, caused baldness (wigs) etc. Also, that Lupus could even be partially to blame in his death as Lupus causes problem with the vascular system.

Since MJ did so much for the music industry, why aren't other performers agreeing to pay for it? When David Ruffin of the Temptations died for instance, MJ paid for some of the funeral expenses. Coincidence is that David Ruffin also died a lonely and ravaged man at 50. He committed suicide by overdosing on cocaine in a crackhouse in Philly, the moment after recording the song, "Hurt The One You Love."

David Ruffin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Where are all these rich stars who are so visible at public functions? People like Jay-Z, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Madonna. Why aren't these artisits taking care of one of their own?
