Debbie Allen: Let Michael Jackson Rest at Neverland

A longtime friend thinks the late King of Pop should be buried at his famed California estate

Add Michael Jackson's longtime friend Debbie Allen to the list of folks who think the late King of Pop should be buried at Neverland.

"I really wish he could be there," the Fame choreographer told us last night at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences TV Moves! 2 Live dance event, adding, "Michael just loved being there. It was his fantasy come true."

Allen remembered spending time at the legendary estate with her kids...

"We had so many great days there," she said. "The movie theater, the train, the animals, the lions, the game room, the candy, the popcorn—all these things I can never forget."

Jackson was the perfect host, Allen said.

"I remember going up there with my son, my daughter and a lot of their friends," she said. "One time, he took my son on all the rides. They had such a good time on the bumper cars."

Allen choreographed a tribute to Jackson at last night's event, which featured dances to "Jam," "Never Can Say Goodbye" and "Remember the Time."

"I really wish he could be [at Neverland]," she said,"but I have no idea what's going to happen."
