Celebrities packed out the Forest Lane Memorial Park in California last night to finally lay Michael Jackson to rest. The King of Pop was finally buried, nearly two and a half months after he died, in a private ceremony that was filled with family and friends. Close confidante Elizabeth Taylor was there, as well as Macaulay Culkin, Chris Tucker, Mila Kunis and Jackson’s ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley.
His children Prince, Paris and Blanket placed a crown on his lily-strewn gold coffin along with notes which read “Daddy, we love you, we miss you”, according to the superstar’s brother, Marlon. All the Jackson brothers wore black armbands and one sequinned glove, in tribute to their sibling’s legendary image. [Photos: Getty Images]

Forgive me if I’m being insensitive but is this really appropriate attire for a funeral?
I mean, really? A halter dress?
I just don’t think it looks right.
Anyway == rest in peace, Michael.
You will be missed but your music will live forever.
Gone too soon.

Anyone questioning Latoya’s dress apparently doesn’t pay much attention to her. When have you ever seen her look “conservative”? This is who she is and her ensemble was not a shock.
Michael’s brother’s look so stoic. I like the one glove though…I `~^#@#_&$_$`*(( ume they all wore it on the hand in which they carried their brother’s coffin. I’m glad Jermaine didn’t get his wish of burying him at Neverland where Michael never wanted to return, just so he could make Neverland like Graceland. Katherine looks positively heartbroken. I am glad she has her other children to help her through this difficult time and that she has Michael’s children with her. Not much to say about Joe other than not much has changed.
RIP Michael! You will forever be missed but never will you be forgotten!

Two things: When did Marlon get so fine and What is up with Jermaine’s hair!!!
RIP Michael…He will always be my favorite…

I know this may sound crazy but there is something about Prince Michael (the oldest) that look’s like MJ. Maybe it was because he was brought up by him or maybe there is a slight chance HE does belong to MJ. He is the only one that I see a resemblence to him. YEH I know the skin is lighter but he bleached PM’s hair when he was little. Who’s to say he didn’t as he got older!! Just a thought. They all seem to REALLY Love their Daddy and that’s really all that matters. I hope they are able to overcome this and lead a somewhat normal life. Only time will tell.

Jus wanna say that ppl needs 2 realise that Michael may be our icon, but he is their brother,
father, son and personal friend.We needs to forget the unsignificant stuff such as a dress
and focus on the real issue,his death.I jus wannah wish the family strenght to get through this and we all needs to remember that life goes on.

men tell you the truth,i’ve been wait for a long time to see Chris tucker and michael jackson again, ever since they that that “rock my world” video together, but not in this way, i picture the two of them would be in some movie together make jokes jus like the video, i was in jamaica watching the video, it was brough so much joy to see my favor artist and actor together. Amazing, but Now so Sad. R.I.P MJ dance with angel and watch over ur family and I. by the way chris when are you going to hit the media again.
