Ever since it was officially announced the Michael Jackson’s funeral arrangements have been finalized, interest in funeral / memorial tickets have surged with thousands of fans planning to be with their idol one last time in the Staples Center memorial service.

Scheduled on July 7, 2009 at the Staples Center from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon, the memorial service is expected to be one of the biggest attended in history, with family, friends and fans filling the venue to capacity. The Michael Jackson funeral tickets are now on sale and are available for $25. Expect it to
be sold out anytime soon.

For those who cannot be accommodated (capacity is only 20,000), wide screens will be put up around the Staples Center area for the fans outside. After the ceremony, the funeral/burial of Michael Jackson will follow at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood Hills.

It was heavily reported that the King of Pop would be buried at Neverland, citing recent activity in the area such as the ongoing clean up and delivery of porta pottys. However, this was denied by the family, “Contrary to previous news reports, the Jackson family is officially stating that there will be no public or private viewing at Neverland.”

Who is Arnold Klein and why is the web abuzz with his name? There are reports that Klein is the real (biological) father of Michael Jackson’s two eldest kids, Prince Michael and Paris. And Debbie Rowe knows this because he is her former boss, the dermatologist that the King of Pop was seeing and in whose clinic Jackson met Rowe.

This emerging new twist is adding to the already confusing twists and turns of the saga surrounding the King of Pop’s death. Yesterday, a report revealed an interview wherein Debbie Rowe
divulged the real parentage of Prince Michael and Paris. She allegedly said that the King of Pop is not the biological father of the two kids and that she has no interest in gaining custody now that Michael is dead. However, her lawyer has blasted the interview as fake.

Now, this latest allegation is adding more confusion to the story. Eventually, we will find out the truth. Here are the new twists as provided by TMZ and Us:

We’ve learned Michael Jackson was not the biological father of any of his children. And Debbie Rowe is not the biological mother of the two kids she bore for Michael. All three children were conceived in vitro — outside the womb.

Multiple sources deeply connected to the births tell us Michael was not the sperm donor for any of his kids. Debbie’s eggs were not used. She was merely the surrogate, and paid well for her services in the births of Michael Jr. and Paris.

Though Michael Jackson was wed to Prince and Paris’ mother, Debbie Rowe, their biological father is Arnold Klein, Jackson’s L.A.-based dermatologist and Rowe’s former boss, multiple sources confirm to the new issue of Us Weekly.

“He is the dad,” says a Jackson insider. “He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth.”

Did Diprivan (aka Propofol) kill Michael Jackson? That’s one angle to look into after nurse/nutritionist Cherilyn Lee came out recently to take about the King of Pop’s “obsession” with the drug to treat his insomnia.

Cherilyn Lee was Michael Jackson’s nutritionist several months ago and she relates how he desperately sought Diprivan (also known as Propofol) for his insomnia. The pop icon has been suffering from intense lack of sleep for years now and, at one point, was so desperate to treat it. However, Lee declined to give it to him because she knew it was unsafe. In an
interview with CNN, Lee said she didn’t know what the drug was when he first asked about it. After consulting a doctor friend and finding out how unsafe it is, Lee said she was even more convinced not to give Jackson the drug he wanted. She said she tried to convince him against using Diprivan but someone had already told him it was safe. She does not know if Michael later had access to the drug after she was gone.

She said she then received a phone call from one of the King of Pop’s assistants the Sunday before he died and was being asked to his house. However, as she was in Florida at the time, she couldn’t. Nevertheless, she advised his assistants to take him to the hospital immediately after hearing of his symptoms over the phone. They said one side of his body was hot while the other side was cold. She knew there was something seriously wrong. Jackson did not go to the hospital. He died June 25 after suffering cardiac arrest.

Was Michael Jackson’s death due to an overdose of Demerol? According to reports, Jackson collapsed after an injection of Demerol. The pop icon has been rumored to be taking pain relief drugs because of various reported illnesses and an overdose of this may have led to death. There were also rumors that he was secretly addictive to pain killers but these remain unconfirmed.

The Sun reports that Jackson aides at the emergency room were overheard telling doctors that he collapsed after an injection of Demerol, a drug
similar to morphine. Furthermore, The Sun reports the following account from its sources:

“Shortly after taking the Demerol he started to experience slow shallow breathing.

“His breathing gradually got slower and slower until it stopped.

“His staff started mouth-to-mouth and an ambulance was called which got there in eight minutes “But found he was in full respiratory arrest, no breathing and no pulse. They started full CPR and rushed him to hospital.

“When he arrived they started resuscitation, giving him heart shocks and inserted a breathing tube and other supportive measures to try and save his life.

“He never regained consciousness.The family was told that he had passed.”

The King of Pop was pronounced dead at around 2:26 PM in Los Angeles after doctors failed to revived despite an hour of trying. Initial reports say he died of cardiac arrest but this may be debunked by autopsy findings. The autopsy will be done Friday morning in Los Angeles and results are expected in the afternoon at the earliest.
