Celebrity Photos of the Day RIP

PICS from Michael Jackson’s Public Memorial

Sandra Rose July 7, 2009

This is a touching image of the original Jackson 5 members + Randy (on the far left), carrying their brother Michael’s golden casket to the stage at the Staples Center.

Michael’s sister Janet Jackson and the children Michael raised as his own, Prince I, Prince II and Paris

The public memorial was beautiful. My mom (who is almost 80) was most impressed with Usher whom she calls “Russia” no matter how many times I correct her.

MORE pics from the memorial after the break

Hopefully someone will put the contents of the program online in PDF form so we can download it

cosigning spongebob…

I am hoping and praying HIS kids don’t read blogs…on top of the shyt that is said about their dad, do they need folks knocking them as well? Lets encourage more effed up drugged up stars children by telling them the man who raised, loved and cared for them unconditionally was such a weirdo he paid people to have someone elses kids just so he could be a daddy. He could adopted if that’s the case like Jolie, Madonna and the rest of em.

GTFOH
If them ain’t his kids someone tricked him and needs to be sued…

Guess I spoke to soon on that other post. “The children he raised as his own.” Don’t all parents raise children as their own?

Can’t waitttttt to go home to watch this.

Janet looks like she lost some weight since the photo where they showed her when she found out about what happened.

It is great that he is being celebrated for what he created for the entertainmetn industry because there will never ever be another one like him, plus there is not one artist out here today that could even come close to a fraction of his contribution.

BUT, it is pathetic to watch all these people facebooking, tweeting and posting how much MJ meant to them when they are the exact same ones that crucified him when he was alive.

So a MF gotta die before people trying to really sympathize, understand and pull out the archives.

cold as ice ELOVE lol
http://myspace.com/rayne215 spongebobfan

Daisy

I think that can be said for all of us tresure the ones we love cause life is way to short and when u r gone u r gone. I hope MJ felt the love of his true friends and family.
kcicero

So mad that i missed this but I will be making the rounds trying to see as many vids as possible and I know someone will have the whole thing soon.

LOL. She should be his biggest fan. We know what happens when the checks stop coming in. Death brings ppl together and I wonder if they have been in contact with each other.
