Nearly three months after his surprising death, Michael Jackson was finally laid to rest Thursday evening (Sep 3) in an intimate ceremony only attended by close family and friends at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, located in the Glendale district of Los Angeles. According to reports, guests were told the ceremony would start promptly at 7 P.M. (sunset) but the Jackson family left them waiting for about an hour until they showed up a little after 8 P.M. (PT). Jackson’s brothers, Randy, Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine, wheeled his gold casket to the front of the service once they arrived, and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael Jr., placed a gold crown on top of the flowers adorning it. They also wrote letters to their father that were placed inside of his casket, alongside one of his signature white gloves.

Celebrities among the attending guests were, of course, the Jackson family, Chris Tucker, Elizabeth Taylor, Quincy Jones, Berry Gordy, Macaulay Culkin, Rev. Al Sharpton, MJ’s ex wife Lisa Marie Presley and Gladys Knight, who sang a gospel song after a prayer by Pastor Lucius Smith. Clifton Davis also performed “Never Can Say Goodbye,” the popular song he wrote for the Jackson 5. After the ceremony was over, MJ’s brothers carried his casket to the Grand Mausoleum, where Michael Jackson entered his final resting place.

With all the Michael Jackson rumors and drama that’s been surfacing lately, we can finally put to rest one pressing issue and get it out of the way. Michael’s mother Katherine Jackson has received custody of Prince, Paris and Prince II aka “Blanket” under terms of a deal that was reached Thursday (Jul 30). Under the deal, Debbie Rowe, Paris and Prince’s biological mother, will keep her parental rights but will not claim custody or receive any extra money.

“It’s an agreement, an agreement for the best interests of the children. This is not a money deal. This is not about money,” says Katherine’s attorney Londell McMillan. “There is no situation better for these children than for them to be raised and reared in the loving care of Mrs. Katherine Jackson.”

According to the New York Post, Katherine Jackson and Debbie Rowe, mother of Michael Jackson’s two eldest kids, have reportedly struck up a secret deal. Rowe apparently has agreed not to pursue custody for the kids as long as Joe Jackson does not have any part in raising them.

“The last thing she wanted was for those kids to be looked after by Joe and go through what Michael went through,” a source told the paper. ‘When [Rowe and Jackson] were [married], Michael poured out his heart about how much he loathed Joe for what he had done.”
