Forever Michael Memorial -- Not MJ Approved

For $150 a ticket, you can pay tribute to Michael Jackson on the one year anniversary of his death ... at the swanky Beverly Hilton Hotel.  Problem is ... the event is not sanctioned by the people who control all things MJ.

"Forever Michael" is being thrown by The Jackson Family Foundation and VoicePlate.com.  Joseph Fahmy, the guy who runs VoicePlate, tells TMZ Joe and Katherine Jackson, along with Michael's 3 kids are expected to attend.  But sources connected with the family tell us ... Katherine and the kids won't even be in town on June 26 -- the day of the event.

According to the VoicePlate website,  "A portion of the proceeds for this event will be presented to some of Michael Jackson's favorite charities at the event."  As for what portion goes to charity and where the rest of the money goes ... Fahmy wouldn't say, although he did tell us he just hopes to break even.

And there's this ... Fahmy says Jackson songs will be sung the entire evening.  It's all news to the Michael Jackson estate.  Howard Weitzman, lawyer for the estate, tells TMZ, "No one ever contacted the Estate to see whether or not they would approve, participate in, or allow the use of Michael's name, likeness, image or intellectual property for this event."

Caveat emptor.

Where have we heard the Beverly Hilton hotel before? *  9 1 1 *
Maybe this is diffrent for me cause English isnt my first language but to me it feels like that sentence is wrong. shouldn't it be: "The event is not sanctioned by the people who control all things about MJ?/of MJ?/regarding MJ"
Cause it almost looks like they are saying MJ controls all the things...?
Oh and another thing, Katherine and the kids won't be in town on june 26th? (One year later? I thought it was June 25th :) )

Event planned on Michael Jackson's first death anniversary
The king of Pop Michael Jackson, who has left an indelible mark on the history of music, will be formally remembered by his fans and his family members.

The king of Pop Michael Jackson, who has left an indelible mark on the history of music, will be formally remembered by his fans and his family members.

In order to mark the first death anniversary of Michael Jackson his family members will organize an event in Los Angeles on June 10.

The Jackson Family Foundation will present Forever Michael at The Beverly Hilton Hotel, in memory of the pop legend who died on June 25 last year.

Michael Jackson- the greatest entertainer
The pop legend Michael Jackson's distinctive musical sound and vocal style has influenced countless hip hop pop and rock artists.

His album 'thriller' is considered an everlasting masterpiece and his hundreds of awards have made him the most-awarded recording artist in the history of music.

Michael, who has become larger than life with his accomplishments and is immortalized with his dance techniques such as 'robot' and 'moonwalk', was often under the scanner for his mysterious life style when he was alive. The darker side of the singer's life includes his humiliating 2005 trial and acquittal on charges of child sex abuse.

Apart from his much-publicized personal life, Michael became one of the living legends of his time.

President Barack Obama said he was "one of the greatest entertainers of our generation, perhaps any generation. I think like Elvis, like Sinatra, like The Beatles, he became a core part of our culture."

Legacy that Michael Jackson left behind
Michael Jackson died on June 25, giving rise to speculative reports of abuse of prescription drugs, including the powerful narcotic Diprivan.

But his legacy lives on, as his as influential body of work continues to inspire millions and his humanitarian works continue to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for beneficial causes and support over 39 charities.

Now on June 25, a year after his death, Jackson Family Foundation brings together Michael Jackson family members, celebrities, fans, supporters and the community, to celebrate his legacy.

this is a quote:

June 26th At The Beverly Hilton Hotel

Opened in 1955 by Conrad Hilton, The Beverly Hilton has combined the excitement of Hollywood with the elegance of Beverly Hills for over 50 years. With the completion of a $80 million renovation, the Beverly Hilton emerges as a beacon of modern luxury.

I think they mean June 2010 with that kind of writing June 10. I had seen in a article the writing June09 and June10 and it means the year....i think ;)

Ok.. see what you mean but i really dont think that is the case.   I have never seen it written like that before in an article.  That would be extremely poor English and grammar.

If thats the case then it baffles me why they would write it like that.

Hi,

I just wanted to say that I purchased a ticket for this. It was a little weird because I only recieved a receipt conformation from Voiceplate.com in my email saying my purchase was $150. I did write the guestservices person to ask if I actually was on the list and how we would enter without a paper ticket. They did get back to me immediately and said I was on their list and to enjoy the show. Just wanted to confirm that it is infact on June 26th at 7:00pm.  I asked them what the lineup would be and I suppose I can also ask if he thinks the Jackson family will be there on that day. I have not heard back yet. I can't imagine that they wouldn't since the Jackson Foundation is putting it on, someone is bound to be there.

I don't know but something tells me that TMZ has put this story out there to try to create confusion or possibly discourage a sellout or an overflow of people. I have no idea but I have a ticket for something having to do with Michael Jackson that day! Should be interesting to see.  8-)
