Here's the scoop on the Michael Jackson Memorial if you want to watch.

Alongside Michael Jackson's remains, Jackson's family and a number of stars will gather to pay tribute to the King of Pop at a public memorial held at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

According to a spokesperson for the Jackson family, celebrity lineup (with possible performances) includes Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Usher, John Mayer, Lionel Richie, and Motown founder Berry Gordy. I also heard the Jackson brothers are going to sing (sob!).

Here's where you can watch:

CNN's live coverage of Michael Jackson's Memorial is scheduled to begin today at 12:00pm EST. Replays later today at 4:00 pm EST and 7:00 pm EST.
You can also find live coverage of the memorial on broadcast networks like ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC, as well as cable channels like E! Entertainment, MTV, BET, VH1, and MSNBC.
Hulu and E!Online will be living streaming online, and, of course, you can watch live viewer updates on Facebook and Twitter too.

am sadden about the news yet I don't think that I can but I think that I will because I seen him sing an perform when I was young and my favorite song from him was man in the mirror and maybe I will watch because he was just an great person to see perform and sing and I will miss him but his music lives on.

I dont get it. There are people crying.. sobbing about it. On CNN.com they are letting people put live facebook updates.. and they are devastated. I just dont get it. I grew up in the 80's... of course I respect his artistry.. but I certainly dont think this is a national tragedy.

Oh...I just sobbed when his daughter Paris spoke and said "He was the best father you can imagine." How sad, sad, sad for those kids... I mean, Michael has been gone from most of our everyday lives for a long time now. But for those kids, this was their father. I wish them strength.

Oh wow Jennifer Hudson was just amazing. Michael Jackson wrote music like no other. I've been a fan of his talent since I was just a kid. What a talent.

Oh his children...how heartbreaking.
