4:30 pm
get to see with cebrities when they're hind the veil. it was all rel. there was a humaty to michael jackson that again even if y can't stand him, evenif you are so gry about the allegations that were made against him, for hifriends, for his kids, for his family,hat's not the michaejackson they know, and it'sike we got a gimpse of the michael jacksonhat they love today,nd it was a very intimate, very seing, emotionaevent. the michael jacksothat's been a mystery. chris,it's interesting a well becausberry gordy, the man behind motown, said michael jason made some questionable decions. maybe he made some ong decisions, but he went on to acknowledge of coursthose great things i thought it was excellent ey did not ignore somef e ntroversy. they ackwledge it, move on, and went ont the bigger picture of what they wted the message to be, which was their love for michael jackson,chris. >> sheila jackson-lee reminding peoplebout the u. constitution and th peoplere

innocent until pron guilty and ihink that the family and the organizersf this, ty recognize what'seen in the tabloids ove the lasmany years, and th know the questis that have been raised, anthey brought it up in a very small, brief, sule way, and they med on. th didn't ignoreit, but they really made this a tribute to his life we're watching as the motorcade has left the staples center now, we are told it is, in fact, headed to the family home in encino. geor lewis is sding by there. george, what's the scene? >> wel chris, a bit of a crowd has gun to gther here in antipation that e fily will return here to the jackson family compound. they left here shortly bere 8: this morning onheir way to frest lawn for the private memorial service before the public service at the staples ceer, and the question is, i guess, is the ente family
4:32 pm
coming back here to the home or are some of them going to peel off and go to the berly wilshire hot in beverly hills for e recepti that is planned there for about800 people we're not sure of th. we're not sreat everodis coming back here, but anyway people are beginning to gather athe makeshift memorial in front of the jacksonfamily house. police are securing the area. is is one of the many venues theyave to worrybout today. wh they're trying to avoid is large crowds of people getng out of hand. whathey've done is they've osed thetet in frt of the jackson family hometo most vehicular traic. only people who live on this strean drive in her otherwise yohave to walk in here. they have barricades at both ends of the steet. this has been going on since the 25th, the day michael jackson died, and, of course, the neigors are getting a little tired of it. theye hoping for some return to normal now that michael
4:33 pm
ckson has beenmemorized. they hope things will calm down in this neighborhood. chris? >> thanks very mh, george lewis. i can say that there were a numb of mningen i was out there to do the "today" show before4:00 in the morning, d i was completely astonished to see people were alreadyoming the family hme before ty went to work for the day. theyere leavi notes and flowers,eaving stuffed animals. think they would getut of bed to drive many of them some distance to come to the family home, pay their respects, an likee've seen throughout this, it wasrespectful. i ner saw anything in the hours i spent otside that mily home in encino was anything but quiet, respectful. people conveing with each other. some crying, some huggin king contact with people they didn't even know. but who felt compeed to in some way let the family know that they felt ts ls. i also wantto say that, you
4:34 pm
know, we haven't not taken notice of the fact that there were people very important to michaejackson's life who were not there today. elizabeth tayr, who twittered and talked about why she felt that thisasn't an aropriate place foher. ana ros' blicist just came up to our location and handed us a statement from diana ross sang that she's decided to pause an be sint. that she was athe memoal in her heart. a treasured part of my world is gone. part of thfabric of my life. mil wanted me t b there for his chilen, and i will be there if they ever need me, which is a statement that takes on new meaning given the fact that a lot people were surprised that after his mother heamed diana ross in his 2002 will as guardian of his three children who we saw a today's memorial. let's go back to the verly wilshire. jinah is standing with more informatn about this gathering of i guess several other people invited by the family, jinah.

time to gather, break bread, d to just ki of remisce and destress aerhat is sure to be a very chaotic andtressful time post-funel, post-memorial. so that's what we expt here. whether e ballroomth has 800 people capacy will be filledwe're not quite sure yet, but so far no one inde. surelyhey are making their way er here. chris. >> jinah kim reporting li us outside the beverly wilshire. we continue to hear the helicopteroverhead, and we still see a sizable crowd here outsidof ttaples cnter. it's just as if people don' want to leave. they want to continue to feel wh they felt en they were inde there and sre some of eir thoughts, and as we wat the motorcade with michael jackson's fami heading we the family home in encino, we'll take a break and be back with more. you're watchg a tribute to michael jackson on msnbc
