Rise 'n' Shine: A Weekend of Michael Jackson Tributes & Tribulations
• Janet Jackson attended the BET Awards to pay tribute to her brother Michael Jackson. Father Joe Jackson also made an appearance and a statement on behalf of the family.
• When the star's autopsy was ruled inconclusive pending the toxicology report due in six to eight weeks, the family requested a second go-round before they take possession of his remains for a burial.
• Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, claims he did not give or prescribe his patient Demerol or Oxycontin and, after a three-hour interview, the LAPD has deemed him no more than a witness in their investigation. Meanwhile, Jackson's former nanny Grace Rwaramba tells the British press of Michael's prescription drug use.
• As A-listers continued to share their mourning moments, ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley blogged about a prophetic conversation she once had with Michael in which he predicted his own untimely demise.
• Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon were joined in the afterlife by TV pitchman Billy Mays.
• This weekend wasn't all bad! E!'s own Kendra Wilkinson tied the knot with Philadelphia Eagles footballer Hank Baskett. And Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz welcomed a baby girl, Paloma Louise Lebenzon, with husband Noah Lebenzon.
• Lastly, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen took home some major bank—a whopping $201 million—some of which ought to go toward making sure the third time's the charm for that poor flower kid trying to meet Megan Fox.
As if Thursday's events weren't enough of a kick in the butt, let's all take a moment to remember how short (and sweet) life is as we peruse our gallery of Shocking Pop Star Deaths.
