Jackson Memorial Set for Tuesday at Staples Center

The Michael Jackson family has finally announced plans (from KTLA):

LOS ANGELES -- Michael Jackson's funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 7, at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

That's according to the LAPD.

Earlier today, members of Jackson's family met with officials from the Los Angeles police and California Highway Patrol about funeral services.

The latest reports also indicate the pop star could be buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills.

Jackson specified no plans for a funeral or wishes for his remains in his 2002 last will, filed in a Los Angeles court Wednesday.

I can't believe they didn't go for The Coliseum, because I don't think Staples is going to be near big enough to handle the crowd that's going to show up. Remember what happened there the night the Lakers won the championship? Local businesses better start boarding up now.
