Michael Jackson‘s casket will reportedly be transported to his public memorial held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles – Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton told The Associated Press on Tuesday morning.
“Mr. Jackson’s remains will be going to the Staples Center. We’re not giving any details,” Chief William Bratton told reporters.
The public memorial is slated to begin at 10 AM PST.
As previously reported, Stevie Wonder, Usher, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, Magic Johnson, Smokey Robinson, and John Mayer are among the superstar guests set to participate in the service.

She’s been all over the world as of late, and Megan Fox was most recently spotted at London’s Heathrow International Airport earlier today (July 6).
The “Transformers” hottie looked comfortable in tennis shoes, blue velour sweats, a cream colored cardigan and her trusty Fedora hat while walking to her flight’s gate.
In related news, the trailer for her movie “Jennifer’s Body” was supposed to be screened this Friday (June 10), but was leaked a few days ahead of schedule, giving fans a brief clip of what to expect.
Fox plays a high school cheerleader who gets possessed by a demon and starts feeding on local boys, leaving her best friend, played by Amanda Seyfried, to save the small town where they live.
Word has it, Fox appears nude more than once in the film which is set for release in the fall.
Continuing along with a full day of work, Jennifer Aniston was spotted filming scenes on the set of "The Bounty" in New York City on Monday (July 6).
After cruising around in handcuffs alongside co-star Gerard Butler, the former "Friends" star hopped out for a break in the action before running through another take.
As previously reported, Miss Aniston is also said to be getting rave reviews away from the set for her culinary skills – as friends are urging her to open up a restaurant of her own.
“Jennifer is really passionate about cooking. She recently had a new kitchen fitted and she loves it. She can cook anything from Mexican meals to Italian food to cakes. She does use cook books but mainly they are her own recipes,” a source told Female First. “Everyone says she should open her own restaurant and she said she would love to."
Kicking off their week with some active quality day, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were spotted out for a hike earlier today (July 6).
The “Summer Catch” cutie and her “Cry Me a River” beau enjoyed some quality day with Jess’ pooch at Runyon Canyon, looking a bit tuckered out as they returned to the parking lot.
And luckily they both avoided a collision with a car whose driver nearly ran the couple by by pulling out a bit too quickly.
by the weekend, Justin and Jessica enjoyed plenty of bonding date with lunch at Cecconi’s and grocery shopping together.
The service will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
No word yet on what song the reportedly pregnant Oscar winner will perform at tomorrow’ funeral.
The network is also reporting that the event will be produced by Ken Ehrlich, who has previously produced the Grammy Awards. The director of Jackson’s memorial will be Kenny Ortega, who was set to co-direct the singer’s O2 shows in London later this month.
Despite early reports stating that Michael Jackson’s ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, would be in attendance at tomorrow’s Staples Center memorial in honor of the late singer, a rep for the former nurse says Rowe has decided to stay home instead.
During an interview on ABC’s Good Morning America on Monday, Marc Schaffel, a former business associate of Michael’s, said Rowe would be attending the public memorial and had been offered seats in the VIP section reserved for friends and family.
However, Rowe’s attorney released the following statement to the press this afternoon:
“Although Debbie had originally planned to attend tomorrow’s Staples Center memorial service, we have concluded with Debbie that she will not be attending. The onslaught of media attention has made it clear her attendance would be an unnecessary distraction to an event that should focus exclusively on Michael’s legacy. Debbie will continue to celebrate Michael’s memory privately.”
Armani frontman David Beckham is being lined up to appear in a new ad campaign with the fashion house’s new spokesmodel, Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie. The 34-year-old soccer star has already shot ads for the designer brand with his wife Victoria, 35, and now we hear Armani bosses are hoping Becks will show off his famous pecks alongside Hollywood’s hottest mom.
“When you have David Beckham and Angelina Jolie signed up to your fashion house, it’s a no-brainer to link them up,” a source spills PopLife.com. “The two are exceptionally beautiful on camera, but both committed to long-term partners so the ad would have to be sexy without offending their other halves.”
“They appeal to a diverse audience, and a collaboration would create so much publicity, it would push Armani head and shoulders above their rivals,” the insider added. “There are a few contract issues to be addressed, but marketing experts are being tasked with coming up with clever ideas for a print campaign.”
