London, March 28 (ANI): Michael Jackson's fans are reportedly shelling out up to 3,000 pounds in bribes to have a look at the star's final resting place in Glendale, California.

The singer's family was said to be fuming after followers were littering the marble tomb at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park with disrespectful photos.

"The family believe some former staff members who can find their way around existing security have been smuggling in fans for visits and charging them up to 3,000 pounds for the privilege," The Daily Star quoted a source close to the family as saying.

"Fans are taking in memorabilia and posing for inappropriate or even disrespectful photos next to Michael's tomb. It has got completely out of hand. Photos of Michael's final resting place have been turning up on websites all over the net and it is really starting to upset the family.

"Then there's the worry about safety and security. There is a risk the fans could scratch or deface Michael's marble tomb or take away keepsakes left behind by friends and family.

"The family are now taking steps to drastically reduce the number of people able to visit Michael's burial site and security has been tightened up. As part of the new measures, the list of people actually allowed into the mausoleum will now include family only and no one else," the source added. (ANI)

Is this to be trusted? How can Fans "sneak" in by bribing when all the secirity had been withdarwn? Or are they scared of someone blowing their cover?

    amm today It's a Palm Sunday <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) --> interesting day.. ^^

    ,,On Palm Sunday Christians celebrate the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, the week before his death and resurrection. For many Christian churches, Palm Sunday, often referred to as "Passion Sunday," marks the beginning of Holy Week, which concludes on Easter Sunday.

    The Bible reveals that when Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds greeted him with waving palm branches, and by covering his path with palm branches. Immediately following this great time of celebration in the ministry of Jesus, he begins his journey to the cross. "

    Wasn't the initial plan to have heavy security, so that other people were not allowed into the Masoleum? The only picture I've seen on the web, is the supposed photo taken by Karen Faye, and the other pictures are from Lisa Burks fan club.
    OK. This is weird. So I'll try and find the truth within these lies.
    1. Money can buy anything.
    2. How people in authority, can turn corrupt when money is involved.
    3. The family do look at the internet and watch youtube.
    4. Fans are starting to become suspicious because they have never seen any family members attend forest lawn, so they put a total ban on anyone besides family visiting.
    5. Why would anyone steal something from the Crypt that was placed there from the family???

    Are they afraid someone might steal MJ body , just the same as James Brown??
    Is this making any sense??? With L.O.V.E xox

    I thought the family didn't want any fans to go there at all - now it seems any old person can get in - and have we actually established it is MJ's tomb? Is his name on it?
  • Where are these pictures? I havent seen any

    Not a month ago, the family decided to actually use less security <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> Some guards was removed, it was on TMZ...
  • One word = Tabloid. <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->

    I know many of us search the web daily for any new photo or news of Michael. Yet no one here has uncovered one of these photos or videos. I find that strange indeed. More lies?
  • Where are these pictures? I havent seen any

    I know i want to see some photos of this too

    The reason you haven't seen them, is because they don't exist. This is a BS story from a tabloid.

    Another tabloid BS

    I believe the security has allowed people in. And if money is the force that rules it, I can believe it. People will do anything for money if it';s enough and they think they won't get caught.

    I know for fact that there is a group of people who trek there every month and have made friends with a couple of the security personnel. I would not be in the least bit surprised if they had gotten chummy enough to be able to bribe them. One turns into 2, and so on.
  • I've always had one lingering question: Why do some Michael Jackson fans read tabloids in the first place?
    {scratches head}

    Doesn't this go against everything MJ stands for and his own personal feelings about tabloids?

    Just wondering...

    P.S. Tabloidburn, your name says my sentiments exactly! <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    ok if this story is true and some ppl did bribe the security guards and went next to the tomb, im sure the pics they would take they would go sell to the media and charge absolotuley load after all the world would believe they are MJ's tombs pics. The pics would be on the news, newpapers and magazines but i havent seen any so i think this is just BS <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P -->
  • Look,

    No need to scratch heads..I despise tabloids as much as anyone else.....I just came across this on Yahoo!......And thought that it could be worth a mention...given the weird stories circulatin of late.......Thats all there is to it.

    No speculations about my intenitons please.... <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->

    This is BS, I emailed FL and they told me that MJ is in a private area and only family and few friends can go to see him

    This is why it's so important to do our best to research credible sources, and not the dirty rags. It just simply wastes precious time and energy to research their lies. It's a distraction and set-back in getting to the truth.

    To me is hard to believe in this story and here is why.
    I have posted several times that I live 5 min. away from Glendale Forest Lawn and went there 3 times.
    All I see is locked door to Holly Terrace and nobody next to it to ask take flowers in, beg to allow look at the grave, or bribe.
    As I posted in other topic here, next Saturday, April 3rd I am going again to observe everything myself.
  • Tabloid Mess again .... it never ends ...

    I emailed them as well some months ago and they told me the same that it was private and if you wished you could order flowers and the security would take them there or if you send letters they will be sent to his mother, but dont forget the video of the fans actually lookin in through the open gates at the tomb i think the security man might have been called colin the video must have been removed as i cant find it anywhere not unless any of you can find it. but it was a real film with lots of fans who seemed to be having a good time.
    i think that mght have been about january
