Joe Jackson, the father of the 50-year-old pop legend, who died of a suspected cardiac arrest last Thursday, was one of the first to pay homage to his son, speaking about him on the red carpet at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium.
He said: "I wish the world had recognised him when he was living. Right now, he's bigger than ever. But I wish he was here to see all this, to hear all this."
Stars like Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Wyclef Jean, and Ne-Yo also mentioned the late King of Pop. Ne-Yo's rendition of Michael's hit Lady In My Life brought Joe to tears, while Ciara covered Heal The World.

The couple, who have been dating for a little over a month now, have made several red carpet appearances together including the 66th Annual Golden Globes HBO After Party and Global Grind Grammy party with Russell Simmons this past weekend.
Lamar was in high spirits this past Sunday at the Global Grind party because not only did he have his new lady on his arm, the L.A. Lakers had just beat the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier that night.
"They're pretty serious about each other," a source close to the couple told Hollyscoop exclusively.
Lamar Odom scored a season-high 28 points, which resulted in Lakers dominating the second half and handing Cleveland its first home loss this season. If that isn't something to celebrate, we don't know what is!
Taraji has already been spotted at a Lakers games supporting her new man. So what's next? Perhaps the Academy Awards? It's Taraji's big night, so having her new man by her side could very well be the icing on the cake!

Academy award winner Forest Whitaker was on hand to announce the nominees this morning and Hollyscoop caught up with the star to get his thoughts on the nominations.
“You know it's always exciting to see peoples work supported and celebrated…and the surprises!
"You never know what you think is going to happen and I think there was some great films this year. I'm just happy to have a chance to be apart of it," Forest told Hollyscoop exclusively at the Academy Award Nomination Announcement.
We spoke to Forest about his two colleagues Taraji Henson and Mickey Rourke, who have both been nominated for an Oscar.
“I worked with Taraji on Hurricane Season, I'm really happy for her, it’s really exciting. Mickey, I worked with before and I'm about to work with him again in “The Expendables.” And Sean and a lot of them, a lot of my colleagues are nominated. David Fincher, Ron Howard, so many great people."
There were certainly some surprises and a lot of snubs this year. What were your thoughts on the nominations? Who do you think should take home the Best Actor/Best Actress award?

Brad's 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' co-star Taraji Henson talked to Hollyscoop at the Palm Springs International Film Festival about Angie and "her husband" Brad and what a great family they are. She even offered to babysit the kids!
In regards to babysitting the Jolie/Pitt clan, she said: "Absolutely. I’ve already told Angie. And my mom did too. She’ll be the play grandmother and I’ll be the surrogate mother," Taraji told Hollyscoop exclusively.
"I already told your husband [I'd babysit]," Taraji said she told Angie at the Los Angeles movie premiere. After she realized what she said, she paused and added, "Life partner" then repeated, "husband."
Trying to lighten the subject, Taraji then shifted gears to the success of 'Benjamin Button' and Brad's Golden Globe nomination. "I think he should win it; he was incredible in the film."
Would Hollywood’s most famous couple tie the knot without magazine and press coverage? They claim to be a private couple, but as of late, the story of every major occurrence in their life has been sold to the tabloids.
Maybe they decided their marriage was too sacred for that? When you're a major celebrity like Brangelina, nothing stays hidden for too long.

Shiloh had her movie debut in dad Brad's next flick, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.' But Shiloh wasn't the only Brangelina spawn that got to visit Daddy at work.
Brad's co-star Taraji Henson told Hollyscoop.com exclusively at the Eagle Eye Los Angeles movie premiere that Brad would bring the kids to work on a daily basis. "He had one kid every day. One on one. I think that's incredible," said Henson.
He may be the most powerful actor in Hollywood, but to everyone on set, he was just Brad. "He's just so regular and down to earth, you'd forget he's on the set. He blends in, he's just like that," Henson told Hollyscoop. "He's not like 'Hey I'm Brad Pitt,'" she joked.
With megastars come herds of paparazzi. "They were going nuts over Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. They were being followed," said Henson. "It was insane!"
Now that Henson has fulfilled every woman's dream (being near Brad Pitt), what is the real Brad like? "Incredible. Sweetheart. Fine is all I can get out." And fine he is!
