Michael Jackson is expected to finally be buried on Aug. 29.

Joe Jackson, father of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, spilled the beans to the New York Daily News about the Jackson family plan to bury their beloved MJ on what would have been the singer’s 51st birthday. Specifically, the paper reported, at 10 a.m. Aug. 29 in the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood Hills, Calif. MJ has been residing above ground inside a chillier confine, awaiting the family’s decision. (Jermaine Jackson pushed for a Neverland resting place, but family members weren’t buying it)

On a related MJ note, Joe Jackson expressed support for the LAPD investigation into his son’s death, but had a small concern regarding Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael’s personal physician. Papa Jackson said he hoped law enforcement officials wouldn’t make Murray, “the fall guy for a whole lot of people.”

Brrrrrrr!!!

Turns out late pop music icon Michael Jackson is inside a freezer and not six feet under at the Forrest Lawn cemetery in Hollywood Hills, Calif., TMZ.com reports. His final resting place is still being discussed but almost NO ONE wants MJ to be buried at Neverland except for rogue relative Jermaine Jackson, whose behavior has kept him at a distance from family. Hopefully, the Jacksons will figure out the MJ burial locale as easy as they can sing A-B-C.

A former drummer for the band Abba was found dead in his home in Spain. Ola Brunkert, who you probably never heard of, died of an apparent throat injury. Results of the autopsy aren’t yet in, but it looks like he accidentally broke some glass and somehow his throat was cut.

That’s a helluva way to go. Incidentally, Brunkert was the only musician, aside from the for front members, who appeared on every Abba album.
