Details about the Michael Jackson memorial event tomorrow have been kept under wraps, but the Jackson family has just come forward with a list of people who they expect to be participating in the highly anticipated service, according to KTLA. As of now, "the list includes family friend Ron Boyd; Kobe Bryant; Mariah Carey; Andrae Crouch Choir; Berry Gordy; Jennifer Hudson; ``Britain's Got Talent'' finalist Shaheen Jafargholi; Magic Johnson; Martin Luther King III; Bernice A. King; John Mayer; Lionel Richie; Smokey Robinson; the Rev. Al Sharpton; Brooke Shields; Pastor Lucious Smith; Usher; and Stevie Wonder." Prior to this public memorial, which will be broadcast live on all three major US TV networks, the King of Pop will be laid to rest in a private service at Forest Lawn in Hollywood Hills. Jackson's ex, Debbie Rowe, mother to his two eldest children, will not be in attendance at the Staples Center.

sounds stupid so far. I'd rather see a concert than a bunch of boring speeches.

John Mayer? That should go over well.

Kobe and Michael were friends, look up his thoughts on his passing.
