Here's the latest news about the planned gathering of hundreds of fans at Michael's mausoleum... this is really bad news! I suppose Forest Lawn is worried that people will be tramping on graves, but I really doubt that. MJ fans are the most considerate fans in the world!
If anyone knows what the Justice4MJ group is planning to do now, please post!
MJ Mausoleum -- Fans No Longer Welcome Originally posted May 30th 2010 1:00 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
The cemetery where Michael Jackson is entombed is launching a new crackdown on fans -- actively removing people hanging out in front of MJ's mausoleum.
According to sources at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, security has been informed that MJ fans are no longer permitted to gather on the patio of MJ's mausoleum. Those who loiter will be asked to leave.
It's unclear why Forest Lawn is making the move -- especially because fans have been visiting the burial site regularly since MJ moved in last year.
And now -- with the one-year anniversary of Michael's death fast approaching -- the Justice4MJ fan group is concerned about their plans to gather at the mausoleum on June 25.
A rep for the group tells us they hope Forest Lawn will "take into consideration" the hundreds of fans traveling from all over the world to pay their respects.

MJFSC visited on the 3rd day of every month and here is what they had to say..."New rules keep us from standing in the area which leads into the mausoleum. We can still place gifts, flowers and cards around the doors. Although we weren't allowed to get as close as we use to it is still so nice to be there and to be near Michael "... Video of their visit... June 3rd 2010 ... Dang, This song made me cry... Reminded me of the Memorial...I try to not think about that day... Here is Lisa's Blog too... Explaining a couple more things.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybw_n5IEn2Elisaburks.typepad.com/gravehunting/Here's an article that is out there... you know I am so sick of the MEDIA... they blow everything out of shape and make more then it ever was...I was on that night that Randy was tweeting and it was just as innocent as saying I will go and talk to FL and see if I can get the fans closer... then it got to be this BIG ARSE thing about the fans taking pictures and doing all kinds of disrespectful things...AND THAT ISN'T TRUE...Thanks to TMZ for starting crap... The fans are just as happy as ever to keep things the way they were... ughhhh people... Oh, and it doesn't mean that it is a MJ fan that is taking these picture that are out there...Other family members from others that are buried next to Mike...could easily be the ones that are doing this...but of course the fans are the ones who get blamed... x17online.com/celebrities/michael_j...dy-06042010.phpForest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale is opening up the gates to Michael Jackson's fans on the anniversary of The King of Pop's death. Randy Jackson tells X17online exclusively: "I just had a meeting with Forest Lawn and beginning on June 25, the anniversary of my brother's death, fans will be able to go right up to the mausoleum and drop off flowers and pay their respects. Michael loved his fans, and the family wants to make sure that the fans are able to celebrate his incredible life." At the 1-year anniversary memorial on June 25, Randy tells X17online that his sister Janet and mom, Katherine will be there. Also attending ... Lisa Marie Presley who last month inspired a flower shop to deliver thousands of sunflowers to Forest Lawn in memory of Jackson. X17online brought you the exclusive details about Lisa Marie Presley's initial visit to the mausoleum in which she carried in an empty portrait-sized frame filled with sunflowers ... spending over an hour getting the placement just right. Various groups, like the Justice4MJ fan group consisting of thousands of members, had plans to gather at the mausoleum for the special 1-year anniversary. However, just last month Forest Lawn security had been informed that fans were no longer welcome. Thanks to Michael's youngest brother, that has all changed. Randy adds, "We are so thankful to know that our brother's fans still love him as much as we do."

More late breaking news, just posted today! Right on! Apparently, TMZ doesn't yet know that Forest Lawn will let the fans honor Michael, per Randy's request MJ Fans -- Cemetery Ban Won't Stop Us Originally posted Jun 5th 2010 12:15 AM PDT by TMZ Staff TMZ has learned tons of Michael Jackson fans are descending upon MJ's tomb on the 1-year anniversary of his death -- even though they've been banned from the mausoleum. As we previously reported, Forest Lawn Cemetery -- where Jackson is entombed -- claims they've adopted a new policy in which security is instructed to remove anyone hanging out in front of the King of Pop's mausoleum. But a rep for Justice4MJ -- the fan group organizing the mass pilgrimage -- tells TMZ they are "absolutely" still going to visit the singer's burial place on the big day .. June 25th. A rep for Forest Lawn tells us they have not yet figured out how they plan to handle the MJ anniversary ... but they will work with the Jackson family and abide by their wishes. As for the MJ fans, one member of the group tells us, "Nothing will stop us from being with MJ on the 25th!"

I truly wish I could be there....I WILL try to be on twitter tomorrow at 3pm, I think it's amazing that Randy wants to take the time to talk to Michael's fans. I wonder if anyone in Canada knows of anything happening on/around June25th for MJ...? I'm finding as the days draws closer, so does the intensity of emotion grow. I would love to be somewhere with other people who share this love...

Karen, I was thinking the same thing. Since I'll be at my computer that day, I'll be logged into Skype and if anyone needs to talk, I'll be there. We shouldn't have to go through the grief alone

Karen, you are so right....I would like to spent that day with people who truly love Michael. Where I live there's no chance of something special happening on his name. I'm alone in that matter between my friends here as well. Besides, I need to work....I'll do whatever I can to at least have that day free.....and do something special myself to honored him. Mal, that's a good idea (skype). I hope I can get that day free....I'll let you know.... That day is the anniversary of my mom finishing her radiotherapy treatment for cancer too. I could never forget that day....full of joy...and then....so dark.....
