Who's on the Michael Jackson memorial's star-studded guest list?
Kobe Bryant, Jennifer Hudson, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and Brooke Shields are among the celebs said to be attending Tuesday's Michael Jackson memorial.
Organizers announced the participants this morning. Many are entertainment figures, but some, such as Martin Luther King III and the Rev. Al Sharpton, are from the political arena.
No word on whether Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson's dermatologist, or his longtime friend Elizabeth Taylor, pictured above with the entertainer, will attend.
Hard to believe that Liz Taylor, with all her health problems and addictions, has outlived Michael Jackson.
Here, according to L.A. Now, is the full list so far:
Ron Boyd (family friend), Kobe Bryant, Mariah Carey, Andrae Crouch Choir, Berry Gordy, Jennifer Hudson, Shaheen Jafargholi (finalist on "Britain's Got Talent"), Magic Johnson, Martin Luther King III, Bernice A. King, John Mayer, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, the Rev. Al Sharpton; Brooke Shields, Pastor Lucious Smith (family friend), Usher and Stevie Wonder.
