    Private Jackson memorial 'set for Tuesday'

    Friends and family of the late Michael Jackson will reportedly mourn his death in a private ceremony ahead of a confirmed public tribute.

    According to Access Hollywood, the singer will be remembered in an invitation-only service before next Tuesday's memorial at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.

    It is unclear where the private event will take place or who will be invited, although recent reports have suggested that Jackson will be laid to rest at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills.

    Discussing the proposed public tribute, producer Ken Ehrlich said: "It will be a memorial service reflecting the dignity of what the family wants. It will be a fitting memorial to Michael Jackson – no dance numbers."

    He added that there would be "some types of performances" but declined to reveal further details.

    Keeping the kids out of the public eye is the one senisble thing Michael and the Jackson Family have done, but I still don't believe that those kids were conceived by him, Even with Michael having the skin condition that bleaches his skin his children would be born black of brown not white with blonde hair. Those kids are not his. Debbie Rowe has claimed she now wants custody of the children wow it's only taken her a week to come forward she must have been adding up all the dosh she would make, before she went to the press.

    If those children are to have any hope of a normal upbringing then they need to be taken away from the Jackson circus alltogether before they become institutionalised like the rest of the family and they are institutionalised, you only have to see the way Latoyah behaved in the BB hosue and how she discussed her upbringing to know how her childhood was.

    But appearing in public with their faces covered allows them anonymity. Does anyone apart from close family and friends know what his children look like?

    One of Michael's close friends was on This Morning on Monday saying he could take the three kids out with his own kids and nobody knew who they were. They weren't hounded by the public, followed by the press, they didn't have their photos in the papers the next day and plastered all over the internet.

    Look at the Beckham's and Katie Price. Their kids have very well known faces. They can't go out with family and friends without having their photos in the paper the next day. There was kidnap threats against Brooklyn Beckham and they had to step their security up.

    Its all very well papers blurring out children's faces but those pictures still exist as originals with the child's face clearly visible. It only takes one person to circulate the original on the internet or print it in another media and then its fair game for kidnappers and other paparazzi to print.

    Maybe some people do think it's extreme but Michael was simply protecting his children from the glare of the camera that he experienced for five decades. Is that so abnormal?
    There are loads of celebrities and royals whose children's faces are unknown to the public but they did not have to walk around with their heads covered up. I am just concerned for the psychological effect this might have had on Michael's kids.

    I can understand why he covered their faces, especially when you see what his fans/the press are like around him. Michael actually said that it meant that the children could go out to the cinema etc... without him and be undetected and be 'normal'. Sooo in that way, I think he was really trying to do what he felt was best for the children...

    Why are people now wanting to help him death but didn't help him in the last stages of his life?

    I think it would have been better if the children went out without covering their heads and Michael and the kids went to a place separately, if he wanted anonymity. Covering them with scarves and blankets only drew attention and everybody knew who's kids they were.

    Never going out in public with your father might be quite damaging and pretty sad. Anyway, maybe wearing a mask or something over their face was like a game to them.. who knows. I think there are much worse, damaging things he could have done, neglecting them etc...

    Actually it was, I would say, in that no one, until recently saw their faces... so therefore they could go out undetected without him.

    Anyway surely the press are to blame for him having to cover up his kids' faces, not him???
