Battle Brewing at Michael Jackson's Burial Site
Battle Brewing at Michael Jackson's Burial Site
Originally posted May 19th 2010 12:40 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
Randy Jackson's plan to let rabid fans flock to Michael Jackson's mausoleum is setting up a nasty battle ... with the family of another celebrity buried in the extremely private section of Forest Lawn Cemetery.
It's all over Randy's tweet, in which he said he was going to do his best to get MJ's fans "beyond the gates of Forest Lawn" to pay their respects on June 25 -- the 1-year anniversary of the singer's death.
It sounds like Randy is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because normally non-family members can't access the mausoleum where MJ and a few other celebs are buried -- one of them being Clark Gable.
The legendary actor's grandson, Clark Gable III, told TMZ he's not down with Randy's plan ... saying the mausoleum "wouldn't be as sacred" if just anyone could go inside.
On the flip side, Randy has at least one supporter ... author Ronald J. Fields -- grandson of W.C. Fields, who's also buried there -- says he thinks fans should be allowed inside because it would be "moving to them."
Randy did not respond to our calls for comment.

Why do you seek the living among the dead?
Getting the fans"" beyond the gates of Forest Lawn ""is about getting them to move on from grieving for MJ and to the awakening of the once in a life time oportunity to be part of the Bam.
Yes, moving to another phase, through the gates.
Hoax virus? I like that! It has gone viral, and will soon be picking up great speed! <!-- s
Thats human nature... to say goodbye, to mourn together, to pay respects. Why do they have to describe Michaels fans and admirers like that??
We are all human and have love for that man. Love we want to share and give and respect towards MJ.
lol... im not frothing at the mouth.. well, not just yet! <!-- s
I think I'd rather just be called a WACKO for JACKO...at least it sounds cool, and we not being called idiots.
Sorry for saying the forbidden name everyone, but that's what came to mind.

This photo is copyright NPG.com (National Photo Group - Ben Evenstad). This is not even a photo of Holly Terrace, but of the Memorial Terrace, where NPG also photographed Conrad Murray when he went to Forest Lawn.
(see this link for Murray at FL and photos) <!-- m -->http://lisaburks.typepad.com/gravehunti ... ayflg.html<!-- m -->
TMZ knows the difference between the Memorial Terrace and Holly Terrace. What are they trying to tell us by using this old photo from NPG?
ONCE AGAIN YOU HIT IT RIGHT ON THE BUTTON
Are you thinking about "whipped cream"..."battle brewing" ?
To go "beyond the gates" makes me think of stargates:

Why wouldn't it be as sacred if anyone could enter ? Is there a deeper meaning in this ?
Maybe we're in Thriller 2 and MJ is our big werewolf leader and we are his army of rabid dogs.
That is not a nice thing to say about MJ fans. Personally, that hurts me very much, Uncle Harvey <!-- s
God bless you again, DancingTheDream! You have hit the nail on the head again. Well done and well said! God bless you for being here with us. You are a total star! xxxxx
We all know "The wizard of Oz". L. Frank Baum, the author is also buried at Forest Lawn Glendale.
Have you see the bricks leading up to Holly Terrace???? The family uses a "Green Screen for the private funeral, that resembled the scene from "Oz"
They kinda look yellow to me.......
Is this where MJ might possibly reveal himself.? There's been alot of talk about Forest Lawn on TMZ lately.....is this the clue.
The Emerald city.......the "Green Jacket" etc. Tell me what you think??
TMZ Live today he's talking about "green screens" and "doubles" and "sitting on the curb"
Trying to kiss and make up, Uncle Harve? <!-- s
