Michael Jackson
Tomorrow’s memorial for Michael Jackson at Staples Center will be quite a star-studded event. As Hollyscoop previously reported, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Hudson are confirmed as two of the performers for the ceremony.

And now the Jackson family has unveiled a long list of celebrities who will be contributing to the event in some form. The list is as follows: Kobe Bryant; the Andrae Crouch Choir; Berry Gordy; Shaheen Jafargholi (finalist on Britain’s Got Talent); Magic Johnson; Martin Luther King III; Bernice A. King; John Mayer; Lionel Richie; Smokey Robinson; Rev. Al Sharpton; Brooke Shields; Pastor Lucious Smith (family friend) and Stevie Wonder.

There’s been no word on what these celebrities’ specific roles will be tomorrow. But for those of you who did not obtain tickets to the memorial, it will be broadcast on every major network.

I hear they are going to bring the body to Staples. Anyone else think this is going too far??? Think about it: from Forest Lawn to Staples and back to Forest Lawn. I wish they would let him rest. Poor Michael...:(
