As LA braces for one last chance for Michael to be in the spotlight, the memorial service for the King of Pop is expected to be a star studded event.
Mariah Carey, John Mayer, Stevie Wonder and Jennifer Hudson are among the celebrity guests scheduled to attend Michael Jackson's memorial service, scheduled for 1 p.m.
The list was released Monday afternoon by the Jackson family's publicists, who called it "preliminary and subject to change."
One person not mentioned, however, was Jackson's former wife, Debbie Rowe, who announced she would not attend just hours after she was reportedly confirmed for two VIP seats.
Whether Jackson's family offered the tickets to Rowe or approved an initial request from her is unclear. A spokesman for the family did not comment.
Another notable absence: Jackson's friend Elizabeth Taylor, who said in her Twitter feed Monday afternoon that she will be mourning in private."I've been asked to speak at the Staples Center. I cannot be part of the public hoopla," Taylor wrote in a string of posts. "And I cannot guarantee that I would be coherent to say a word."
Michael Jackson's casket will be front and center during his star-studded memorial service today at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the entertainment Web site TMZ reported this morning.
