Online reports are speculating that Michael Jackson's body will be brought to Staples Center for today's memorial.

According to at least one report, Jackson will "lie in state" in an open, elaborate gold casket. The body would be brought by motorcade from Forrest Lawn in the Hollywood Hills where Jackson's body has been prepared for burial and the family attended a private memorial service last night.

Do you think all that's a little over-the-top?

A motorcade from Forrest Lawn to Staples Center would disrupt traffic throughout many parts of Los Angeles, not to mention what it would cost the city in terms of police, traffic control officers, and the disruption to local businesses?

If it happens, should Jackson's estate pay the bill which some could say could top $2.5 million???

Seriously, is this the ONLY "thing" Bar Refaeli does?

The Israeli supermodel posed for these sexy shots for Bonita De Mas' new lingerie ads, and while we kinda hate the fact that Bar is famous simply for being hot...we are totally jealous of her killer bod!

Yesterday evening we snapped Randy and LaToya Jackson making their way to Michael Jackson's funeral service at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Burbank, California, shortly after Michael's children Prince, Paris, and Prince arrived.

A few hours later we snapped a tearful Paris leaving what is believed to have been an open-casket vigil for the late King of Pop.

After threatening photographers Sunday when she went out to lunch with a pack of paps following her, Debbie Rowe called in the big guns yesterday, bringing in the cops to protect her against the nasty lensmen.

Now that Debbie has decided not to attend Michael's public memorial service today at the Staples Center, I guess she was hoping to go unnoticed in her ranch on the outskirts of LA, but no such luck ...

Well, she's not topless and wearing a blanket, but we're sure this picture is going to cause a commotion and draw some criticism from the Miley haters out there!

Little Miss Miley Cyrus posed for these super seductive shots for the August issue of Elle, and while she looks more like a 21-year-old model than a high school sophomore, she does look amazing!

But should a 16-year-old girl REALLY be posing for cleavage baring, suggestive shots like this? I mean, after the whole Vanity Fair scandal you'd think she'd take it easy on the sexy photoshoots!

OMG! You MUST watch the trailer for Jennifer's Body, which hits theaters later this fall. Not only does Megan Fox play an evil, sexy demon, but Amanda Seyfried (Big Love, Mean Girls, Mama Mia) is also in the flick, and Diablo Cody wrote the script for it. We smell a hit!

X17ONLINE SNAPPED THIS EXCLUSIVE SHOT OF PARIS JACKSON IN TEARS IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR ON HER WAY HOME FROM THIS EVENING'S PRIVATE FAMILY VIGIL.

Following the private family funeral service for Michael Jackson this evening, it is believed the family will bury their beloved son tomorrow morning at Forest Lawn Cemetery.

The media have been speculating when the King of Pop would finally be laid to rest and it's general consensus that it will happen tomorrow morning, just ahead of the large public memorial service at the Staples Center in downtown LA at 10 am PT.

The entire family, along with a few friends, gathered this evening just after 7:30 pm PT, at the cemetery's Liberty Hall. Jackson's children - Prince, Paris, and Prince II - were all in attendance along with Michael's siblings and his parents. Absent were Debbie Rowe and Lisa Marie Presley.

Tomorrow's burial is expected to happen just after sunrise --in fact, staff at the Warner Bros. studio just blocks away, received a memo today altering employees to potential traffic issues between 6 - 7 am PT.
