Michael Jackson’s memorial will begin shortly

Michael Jackson’s memorial at the Staples Center in LA is scheduled to begin at 10 AM PST. A swat team is currently escorting his body from Forrest Lawn Cemetery, where a private memorial was held, to the Staples Center.

Reports say Jackson’s memorial is expected to cost LA taxpayers around $4 million. So, it kind of sucks if you’re not a fan of Michael Jackson or believe those allegations of child molestation.

Almost every site is streaming the memorial including TMZ, MySpace and MSNBC. You might want to watch with the other 1 billion people or else you’ll miss the performances by Stevie Wonder, Usher, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, John Mayer and a 20 story high Mecha-Jackson fire breathing robot. What? You mean they don’t have the robot? This memorial sucks.
