Jackson’s Last Music Video!

How cool would this have been to see???

One of the closely guarded secrets from Michael Jackson's "This Is It" concert spectacular was going to be a new 3D mini-film, nicknamed the "Dome Project."

Jackson finished shooting the project only two weeks ago. It included recreations of the Thriller music video in which "the audience would have felt like they were visiting the Thriller experience, like they were there," according to Vince Pace, the man behind the 3D cameras used for the shoot.

Wow.

That would have been awesome!

The production took 5 weeks to complete with only a week of actual shooting, most of which the King of Pop was present for. Said Pace, "To think that Michael's gone now, that's probably the last documented footage of him to be shot in that manner."

Sadly, Jackson's frail demeanor was evident to the crew on the 3D shoot even a few weeks ago. Michael introduced himself to the whole crew and walked "with a spring in his step," but needed assistance when walking down steps.

Along with the recreation of the Thriller set, a "lush jungle" set was built for "This Is It", as well as a replication of a construction site including "scantily clad male dancers wearing carpenter's belts."

We're sure this footage will be released…eventually.

Thousands Attend Jackson Memorial at Apollo

Jun 30, 2009 Author: TheInsider | Filed under: News
A crowd of thousands of Michael Jackson fans came out to Harlem's famed Apollo Theater in New York City on Tuesday to pay tribute to the late King of Pop -- and "The Insider" was there to capture the emotional event. The crowd lined the streets and sang Jackson tunes, danced, held up signs, letters and posters and observed a moment of silence at 5:26 p.m., the moment East Coast fans heard the news of Jackson's death. Director Spike Lee delivered a few words about Jackson's legacy, and the Reverend Al Sharpton delivered a stirring speech praising Jackson's career and his incredible influence on the African-American people and the world, saying that he crossed the lines of color and culture, making "young men and women all over the world imitate us." "Before Michael, we were limited and ghettoized," said Sharpton. "But Michael put on a colorful military outfit, he pulled his pants up, he put on the one glove, and he smashed the barriers of segregated music." "Michael was a genius," he continued. "Michael was an innovator. You can't take someone with extraordinary skills, extraordinary talent, and make him an ordinary person. He was extraordinary. He lived extraordinarily, and we love him with an extraordinary passion." Back in 1967, the Jackson Five (featuring a nine-year-old Michael) won an amateur night contest at the Apollo, helping to launch the group, and subsequently Jackson's phenomenal solo career. Jackson returned to the Apollo in 2002 for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser, invited by former President Bill Clinton.

Farrah’s Funeral Full of Love, Emotion, Prayer

Jun 30, 2009 Author: TheInsider | Filed under: News
Farrah Fawcett was remembered Tuesday at a Los Angeles funeral that was full of love, emotion and prayer. In a Los Angeles cathedral that was filled with yellow, white and peach flowers, and in a service that included a rendition of "Amazing Grace," as well as a bagpipe performance, Farrah's longtime love Ryan O'Neal and their son Redmond O'Neal read bible passages to say goodbye. Redmond, who was allowed to leave jail for his mother's funeral, gave the first reading at the funeral, followed by a reading from his father, who said that his son did a beautiful job. Many mourners expressed their love and support for Redmond. Easels at the back of the church displayed photos of Farrah, including one of her posing with her beloved son Redmond, who draped rosary beads over his mother's casket before it left the church. Farrah's best friend Alana Stewart and Dr. Lawrence Piro delivered eulogies, while Ryan and Redmond served as pallbearers. Farrah's father, James Fawcett, sat in the front pew of the cathedral, while Ryan's daughter Tatum O'Neal sat with Alana Stewart. Other stars in attendance at Los Angeles' Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral included Kate Jackson, "Ghostbusters" star Ernie Hudson, model Cheryl Tiegs, actors Garry Shandling and Dick Van Patten, as well as Dick's wife Pat Van Patten, and hairstylist Jose Eber.

With Michael Jackson's public viewing coming up, the question remains where the King of Pop will be laid to rest.

As we mentioned earlier, a public viewing has been confirmed for this Friday at Neverland Ranch, followed by a private memorial service scheduled for Sunday.

But, now, Rudy Clay, the mayor of Jackson's hometown of Gary, Indiana, is contacting the Jackson family in order to make get MJ there - and keep him there!

And even if Jackson won't be buried in Indiana, they at least want to hold a memorial service.

In fact, a memorial service has already been set for July 10th at the U.S. Steel Works ballpark in Gary.

According to Clay, "I believe that his body will lie in state in Gary, Indiana. Now, it may not happen, but I believe it will." Adding that it would be "a memorial that's fit for the prince of peace and a memorial that's fit for Gary, Indiana's favorite son, the greatest entertainer that ever lived."

As for the burial site, it can go near a proposed Jackson family museum and performing arts center.

But, we're guessing the final decision might be up to Jackson's parents - or his own will!
