CHANGE OF FUNERAL DATE WILL COST JACKSON FAMILY DEARLY

The Jackson family decision to switch the funeral date for the Thriller singer will cost them dearly.
Michael Jackson's family, who have agreed to pay the security costs, decided to move the date of the burial from Saturday, which would have been his 51st birthday, to Thursday.
But the switch from a weekend to a weekday has shot up the security costs.
It has upped the security costs of the funeral to take place in the Glendale suburb of Los Angeles by at least three times the original price, it has emerged.
The cost to provide police and other city services for the weekend private memorial at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale would have topped US$50,000, according to Glendale police.
About 90% of those cost would go to police handling street closures,
security and perimeter control.
But officials say the Jackson family will now have to fork over "at least triple the price" to contract the cops for a weekday burial.
The cemetery it will be on total lockdown -- with security patrolling from the ground and from the air. At least one police helicopter will be keeping an eye from the sky.
To prove the police mean business, Police Sergeant Tom Lorenz has warned uninvited fans to stay away.
"Don't even try and come, because you won't even be able to see the green of the Forest Lawn," he said.
The Jackson family agreed to foot the entire bill for the city services following the outrage that followed Michael's super-hyped memorial service at the Staples Center.
Residents of cash-strapped Los Angeles were outraged that the staggering US$1.4 million it cost to police the service was paid for by the city's taxpayers.
The mausoleum where Jackson is being buried is not open to the public at all.
The Great Mausoleum – where movie stars like Clark Gable and Jean Harlow were laid to rest - is considered a private area, where only property owners and family members are allowed to go.
It is monitored by security cameras to catch any trespassers who snoop around.
