CHRIS BROWN'S PUBLIC APOLOGY

Chris Brown has finally released a public apology about the Rihanna incident earlier this year.


It's getting mixed reactions.


Some say it wasn't from the heart and that it was written for him, others believe his sincerity.


You be the judge:






My initial reaction was that the apology was so staged. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he was reading from a card, but then again, most important speeches or such are read off a teleprompter or card anyways; just because he is reading off one, doesn't mean he didn't write the apology or didn't mean it. I could sense he is utterly sorry. I dunno. I'm mixed on this I guess.



I'd like to hear what Rihanna has to say about the incident too and I'd like hear her address those "crazy jealous Island girl" rumors that people have been talking about.

MICHAEL JACKSON PUBLIC VIEWING OFFICIAL DETAILS

Michael with his daughter Paris.

Paris & Prince Michael I- how beautiful are they!

Michael with the godfather to his children Al Mahnik. I love this picture! It shows Mike's goofy side that everyone who knew him loved.

Intimate look with Michael and his 3 children. ("Blanket" aka Prince Michael II on his lap)

What a difference. He really looks a bit bizarre here.

Its official!!! A public memorial is indeed happening!!

The service will take place on Tuesday, July 7 at 10 a.m. at the Staples Center and it'll also broadcast at the Los Angeles' Nokia Theater nearby.

For the thousands who won't get in, the memorial will be shown on giant screens outside the venue.

I wonder if it'll be on TV??? I hope so and will it top the attendance record previously held by Elvis' funeral???

DETAILS OF MICHAEL'S WILL

So MJ's will was filed in court today and the details have been leaked:

• His mother Katherine will be the legal guardian of his 3 children; should his mother pass, then Diana Ross will become their legal guardian
• He is worth more than $500,000,000. All of the estate consists of non-cash, non-liquid assets, including primarily an interest in a catalog of music royalty rights (includes The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Niel Diamond, Lady Gaga, The Jonas Brothers ) which is currently being administered by Sony/ATV, and interests in various entities.
• The Michael Jackson Family Trust (his 3 children and Katherine) will receive all of his estate
• Some will be distributed to charities
  
• Six relatives, which include Tito's three sons, are listed as contingent remainder beneficiaries. Meaning, they'd only share the estate if Michael's children or Katherine passed away before Michael did.

UPDATE:


The Jackson family put out a statement saying the public viewing of Michael will not be held at Neverland Ranch and that memorial services and public viewing details will be given shortly.


It's rumored that the public viewing would be held at the Los Angeles Staples Center but that's not yet confirmed.


According to E! News, Michael's body is currently being held at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuaries in the Hollywood Hills, where he's expected to be buried.

I feel bad for all those people who bought hotel rooms all near and around Neverland Ranch! I read that some hotels sold out completely in 20 minutes!
