jackson's brain. maggie? >> cbs' ben tracy in encino, california. thank you, ben. michael jackson returned to the staples center yesterday where just two weeks ago he had been rehearsing for his upcoming tour and outside as fans were lining up to go in, the anticipation very much felt like the leadup to a michael jackson concert. but once we got inside it was clear this would not be a high adrenaline show but rather a somber dignified good-bye. ♪ >> reporter: if there is anything michael jackson was never accused of it is failing to make an entrance. and even at his own memorial, he didn't disappoint. his brothers wearing michael's trademark sequinned glove carried his gold casket adorned with roses to center stage as fellow entertainers paid tribute to the king of pop ♪ and i'll be there >> this is a moment that i wi

it was real. it was not a television show. >> and that was by design, wasn't it? >> it was the request of the family. the family was -- one of the only things they said to us, kenny, ortega, my producer partner and randy phillips, the people we worked with, was that they didn't want it to be a television show. they wanted it to be a church service and we were kind of mandated to bring michael home in church. >> you had such little time to put this together. it wasn't a tv show but it was still a big production. how did you do that? >> well, we didn't -- was there a july fourth holiday. i don't know if there was or not if not for you. >> no, we just worked straight through. you know, in all fairness, michael was such a magnetic person facility we didn't get many people, if any, that we wanted to have involved would said no. not just in front of the cameras but behind the scenes, as well. everybody just jumped in. we made some calls.

it was last thursday. 2:00 in the afternoon we had the first meeting about this with the family and yesterday was yesterday. >> and monday night you pulled an all-nighter. >> rhett close. i found myself at the pantry which is los angeles joint at 1:30 in the morning having a roast beef sandwich then knowing that we needed to be back at staples about 5:30. >> did the family of michael jackson say anything to you after the memorial yesterday. >> they were gracious. we didn't want to -- you know, they're mourning. they're still mourning. we worked mostly with the brothers and the brothers were extremely grateful and gracious about what we had done and i glanced over at them, you know, all day and watched katherine's face and janet and la toya and the boys and you could see that this was something that or least i felt was fitting for michael.

>> absolutely. was it their idea, did you know, that they were going to wear the glove and bring in the casket? >> well, interesting because people have asked me about the casket. when they first brought that up to me, i wasn't so sure. in fact, i think i gulped then all of a sudden i realized i mean it would not be a church service if it wasn't. that's what memorial services are and as it turned out they were -- we didn't resist it at all. we really wanted to do what they wanted. but, you know, i think it being there and miking being there, not it, michael being there lifted everything. it lifted the performances, it lifted the, you know, the speakers and i think it lifted all of the 14 or 15,000 people at staples. >> thanks so much, ken. absolutely beautiful job yesterday. thank you for joining us. time to check in with russ mithcell at the news desk for a look at the headlines. >> good morning, maggie and

houses driving people from their homes. president berlusconi moved the summit here in support. there's still regular aftershocks in this area in the mountains so there's an emergency plan in place because there are almost 40 leaders staying in police barracks so if there's another serious quake, there's an emergency plan to move them all out in air lifts. >> bill plante in l'aquila, italy, thank you very much. 7:11 and dave price is here just back from l.a. great job out there. e.sss >> good to be home. why don't we take a look at the weather. see what's happening. we'll start out right here in the northeast in the new york city area and the northern suburbs. lots of delays at the airport yesterday. let's tell you why. take a look at this video. how about it. last night, hail covered the ground like snow during fast-moving thunderstorms. north of new york city, golf ball-size hail fell. kids were making hail angels. some of that still on the ground this morning, by the way, just

it is a whisper that's not exactly growing into a scream but it is getting a little louder in some parts of washington. that we may need a second stimulus package. but despite the still slumping economy, republicans are saying that simply is not the right answer. cbs news correspondent nancy cordes is in washington and has more. good morning, nancy. >> reporter: good morning, harry. a stock market slide tuesday set off a fresh round of worries over the economy with lawmakers split over what to do about it. >> gyro sandwich. >> reporter: it's been a tough 12 months at this restaurant in washington, d.c. >> the worst year we've ever had in business. >> reporter: for three months owner frank doyle put aside a paycheck and lowered his prices. >> thank you. have a good afternoon. >> reporter: that's helped him stay in business. but around the country, others

haven't been so lucky. the unemployment rate has hit 9.5%. the highest in 26 years. and analysts predict it could get even worse. going into the double digits by the end of the year. >> we're going to have a recover but but it's going to be later in the year. >> reporter: that recovery will depend in part on how well president obama's economic stimulus package does. objection perts say it's too early to tell. but that hasn't stopped some economists from suggesting a second stimulus package might be needed. stocks fell tuesday after one of the president's own economic advisers said the u.s. should be planning for another stimulus. the response from republicans, no way. >> why in the world there would be any conclusion reached after looking at the results of the first stimulus that the way to deal with that is to pass yet another one is mind-boggling. >> reporter: democrats counter that it is way too soon to measure the success of the

stimulus package because only about 10% of the money has actually gone out the door. they acknowledge that pace has to pick up but many of them, harry, are not sold on this notion of a second stimulus either. >> all right. nancy cordes in washington this morning, thanks so much. jill schlesinger is editor at large for cbs moneywatch.com. there's been a lot of midyear sort of analysis and you pick up different papers and some are bleak. some are less bleak. some are a tiny bit optimistic. some say they are green cluhute. how do you view. >> like the doctor comes in and says there's great news, you don't need a heart transplant, however, you do need a quadruple bypass. we are away from the worst case fair joe. it's important. it's a great thing we stepped away from the precipice but that does not mean we are out of the woods. still in the midst of a deep and

painful recession. >> unemployment numbers came out last week. still number the 300,000, 400,000, 500,000. the economy is still hemorrhaging job loss. >> it's tapering off which means okay you didn't lose 700,000 jobs like in january but you're right, the number last month was terrible. the number i was disappointed in in that report was this other number which says if you put all the part-time people in and those who are disgruntled, 16.5% unemployment rate. that is why it's so hard to get -- >> real unemployment figure. >> and really helps people understand why is it so hard to get a job? >> although in some of the areas you look at some places in the country with the housing crisis seems to have bottomed out and there is a little bit of an uptick. there are speculators getting back in there, first-time home buyers. there seems to be -- not exactly traction, but at least something is under foot. >> a little more stabilization in housing. we need housing to stabilize for this economy to start growing again. it doesn't have to go up.

it just has to stop going down. >> sure. >> that hasn't happened just yet. >> what about things like manufacturing, really sort of traditional things you look at and say, aw, we're heading forward. >> manufacturing numbers have been good. the one area that still kerrs me is banking. i don't feel like the worst is over in banking. we have 52 banks have failed this year, only 25 in all of last year. >> jill, thanks so much. do appreciate it. still to come she's never spoke anyone public before. paris jackson. and more when we come back. ♪ we are the world >> portion of "early" sponsored by walmart. save money, live better, walmart. mom vo: i can't do his history report for him. mom vo: my job is to give him everything he needs to succeed. mom: that's why i go to walmart. vo: find all the brands those other stores have but for low walmart prices. vo: like dell, hp and toshiba. save money. live better. walmart.

but when his 11-year-old daughter paris tearfully spoke about her love for her father it was a profoundly emotional moment. cbs news correspondent kelly cobiella reports. >> every since i was born daddy has been the best father i can ever imagine. >> reporter: with those words the world saw michael jackson differently. not as the king of pop but a person, a brother, son and father to three grieving children. >> and i just want to say i love him. so much. >> reporter: while music was his passion, many people say parenting became his priority. >> whenever michael came to england, the first thing he told me, i miss my kids. let's call them. >> michael was in a london hotel. he read them bedtime stories over the loudspeaker phone every single night without fail. >> daddy.

>> yes. >> this is a great game. >> reporter: michael was worried they would have a tough road ahead and believed a strong family bond would see them through. >> we felt at some point along they had they would be all they had just as he felt the brothers, the jackson brothers was all he had along the way. he wanted to make sure his three kids were loyal and true to each other in case they had to call upon each other in times of tragedy like now. >> reporter: cbs news, los angeles. >> joining me now is attorney jim moret of "inside edition," good morning. jim. >> good morning, maggie. >> watching his little girl. >> i've seen it so many time, still gives me chills as a parent. how could you not be moved. >> watching that and the enormous love among the jackson children and family specifically their bond with katherine jackson, do you think that debbie rowe now has any shot at custody? >> well, i think the world saw something very real yesterday.

they saw a family that's very close. close around these three children. the judge in the custody issue has to decide what's in the best interest of the children. debbie rowe is the biological mother and she does have a right to those children, only two of them. there are three. you don't want to split them up. >> exactly. >> debbie rowe has not been a part of those children's lives, so hopefully there was to be a hearing this week. it's been postponed until next week and we can presume and hope that the two sides are talking to keep this out of court and not have a legal fight because you really don't want to traumatize these kids anymore. my guess is they will remain with katherine jackson. >> let's look ahead to the death investigation of michael jackson. you and i were talking. you said that you're convinced that there will be criminal charges. >> i'm convinced there could be criminal charges if diprivan was in fact found at the mansion that michael jackson was renting. >> which reports are that there was. >> there is no medical reason for that substance to be out of the hospital. you have some serious issues,

why was it there? who brought it there? who administered it. who was watching michael jackson at the time? however, we don't know how he died until the toxicology reports come back. those could take a couple of weeks but separate from that you also have these doctors who have been prescribing michael jackson drugs over the years. you have the state attorney general's office now involved. you have the dea involved so you have a number of doctors who could be very concerned of the "l.a. types" reporting three search warrants issue and five doctors are under investigation. with anna nicole we saw charges came a year later. they want to do this correctly. there's no rush to file charges right now. you want to make sure that you go through all of the databases, see if aliases were used, see if doctor shopping was used and put a case together correctly. >> even if the cause of death has nothing to do with these prescription drugs that investigation is going to continue. >> you have a wide net. you have two separate tracks. with respect to the death investigation, though, there's a

question about the lapd's handling of this case. they did not secure the home immediately after the death. so what happened? a moving van was brought in. some family members took property out of the house. a few days later four days later the coroner goes into the home and removes bags purr poshtedly of drugs. who brought them there? were they tampered with. was other stuff taken before? you have that area of the investigation that's problematic and a concern for the lapd. >> in the meantime, what happens to michael jackson's estate? temporarily it's in the hands of his two associates but katherine jackson made it clear she's not going to hand over the keys to the kingdom. >> katherine jackson had a claim when there was no will. a will is being presented. it hasn't been formally presented yet. that will specifically names two executors. that's why they have been temporarily put in charge of the estate. if the will is valid, if it's accepted, those executors will control the estate and that's what michael jackson wanted. these are business people. one of whom put michael jackson into the beatles catalog, his

most valuable asset then got him into partnership with sony. these are the right people. >> they know what they're doing. >> they're business people and this is a huge, huge business. >> it is. thanks so much. >> thanks, maggie. >> now back to new york and dave. he's got another check of the weather. good morning, dave. >> good morning to you, maggie as we new york city and out in los angeles you're going to have lovely weather. west of the rockies it's going to be good. a lot of folks in new england asking what happened to summer. look at this. temperatures in the 70s on tuesday and again as we reach the midweek into the 60s, augusta stays in the 50s. boston stays in the 60s today. where normally you should be to 82 and this is actually on average the warmest month of the year in new england. so real exception. rest of the country, scattered showers in the southeast, mid-atlantic states look good. west of the rockies we mentioned nice, central and southern plains look warm. south texas extremely hot and we see some scattered showers stretching from the northern plains states over to sections of the midwest and great lakes.

all right, good morning. let's take a look at the forecast today. it is going to be a nice one. sunshine in the area. and we will have a high temperature of right around 86 degrees. tonight, 58. clear skies. passing fair-weathered clouds. tomorrow much the same weather forecast. we will mention but not put up the symbol for a spotty afternoon thundershower, 82 it. then look that the five-day. absolutely gorgeous. 80 friday. warm, saturday, 88. back to the mid-80s with sunshine. and on sunday and monday. that's a quick look at your weather picture. brother, friend. >> early to be on the ouch. >> when the cat is away, the pous will play. >> up next a rain-soaked premiere but the weather didn't break the spell on "harry potter's" magic. on the red carpet with the soaking stars.

daughter vaccinated because i want her to be one less woman affected by cervical cancer. one less. gardasil. ask your daughter's doctor about gardasil. at world record speed. i'm luke myers. if you want to be incredible, eat incredible. announcer: eggs. incredible energy for body and mind.

service. what was your reaction when he asked? >> i was surprised. i had talked to him and the day that michael had died and everybody wasn't sure if he was dead, if he was sick. i just called and left a message and told him if there was anything i could do we were praying for him and i was there and then when we heard he died he called back. we prayed. last week friday he called and said he had a big favor to ask me. and i said, anything. and he said i want you to do the closing prayer. and i was like, first i was like on the inside i'm wow, you know, but -- >> then yesterday they also asked to you do the invocation so you did both. what was important for the family to convey when they asked you this? they said we want this to be what? >> well, randy just asked me to do the closing prayer and then things kind of grew as the occasion came, you know, closer. i was just asked to close and i

told him that, you know, as a christian i pray a certain way and i wanted to make sure i was sensitive to the families' needs and he said that he prayed the same way and that he just wanted me to be part of it and so his desire was for me as -- i don't want to say his pastors. he freaks the church but he wanted me to pray. >> you had the same idea. >> exactly. >> just to pray. >> exactly. >> so many amazing moments yesterday from brooke shields remembering playing with michael as a child and maintaining a friendship as an adult to jermaine singing michael's favorite song "smile" to little paris remembering her daddy which was such an unbelievable moment. >> exactly. >> all around me i could hear sniffles when she was talking. >> right, right. >> how do you think these children will handle things emotionally from here on out? >> i think it's going to be initially -- it's going to be difficult just because of the

celebrity and now everybody has to look for someone else to look at and the obvious thing is, you know, the children and who they are and where they're going and what's going to happen to them. i just kind of pray that they'll be able to just be taken care of and kind of kept out of that limelight as much as possible. when she called him daddy for me that was like, you know, a moment that really just broke people up. >> no question. thank you for sharing your thoughts with us this morning. pastor lucious smith. >> i appreciate it. >> now back to new york and harry. >> up next for you ladies, how something like this could change your entire summer. when we come back on "the early show."

automatic payments especially on the regular bills that are going to occur. >> that's one way around it. you have to have a designated time to pay your bills. you can save a little bit in some cases. may be able to save 5%, 10% if you pay online so there are ways around this but you have to take the initiative. you can set up alerts to let you know when bills are due, have them sent to your phone. >> what is mystery spending. >> mystery spending, spending you can't account for. you don't know where it's gone and disappears into thin air. i think we've gotten better with it because our savings rate is going up. people are choosing wealth over that but still a lot still does go on. 52% of americans lose about $3,000 a year to spending they don't know where it disappeared. into thin air, gone. >> yeah. well, that's got to be impulse buying and, you know, that sort of, oh, gee, i even forgot i did that sort of thing. more discipline is involved.
