Jackson funeral at Staples on July 7 (ET, 411, RADAR)
By Nancy Tartaglione
Updated* Media reports are claiming that a funeral service for Michael Jackson will be held on July 7 at the Staples Center in LA. Sources told blogger Roger Friedman that AEG Live, which owns Staples and its next-door neighbor the Nokia Theatre, will use both facilities and the surrounding plaza.
Insiders told Friedman that AEG will hang huge screens outside for what will surely be a mob scene of fans that will not make it inside.
In order to do this, says Friedman, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, scheduled to begin its run at Staples on July 8, reportedly had to be persuaded to postpone moving into Staples by several hours.
*Entertainement Tonight Online reported on Thursday morning that the time (10AM) and date had been confirmed.
