Celebrities Attend Michael Jackson Memorial

As the memorial for Michael Jackson takes place, his family and fans have flocked from all over to witness the singer being laid to rest. At the Staples Center, attendees were handed 14-page programs in full color with anecdotes from his family.

Fans of the pop star include famous friends, including Magic Johnson, Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Hudson among others. The Kardashian clan showed up to lend their moral support. Kim Kardashian tells Us Weekly, "It's just really important to be here to support the Jackson family. My family and I have known them for years, so it's really special to be here for them."

The mix of celebrities is fascinating, to say the least, with Usher giving Brooke Shields a kiss on the cheek with his arrival and Dionne Warwick chatting with Kobe Bryant. As more arrive, they'll be added to our gallery of celebrity attendees.

Atlantis Resurfaces In Dubai

Dubai was the place to be the other night at the grand opening of Atlantis, The Palm Resort and the Palm Jumeirah where a multitude of international stars showed up including a very blonde Natalie Imbruglia, newly-anointed web mistress Mischa Barton and Lily Allen.

Like raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, club openings are just one of a few of Lindsay Lohan's favorite things. So she was of course on hand for the event in all black accessories and her hair pulled back in a sleek do. The other Fergie (the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson) was there looking simple and elegant in black.

Charlize Theron, however, stole the show with her sweeping white gown, while Mary-Kate Olsen ended up just looking like she had swaddled herself in a shiny bed sheet from the hotel where she was staying. As a "screw you" to PETA, she's secretly got wearing a fox fur thong underneath it all.

But my honest-to-goodness favorite outfit was worn by Wesley Snipes, who decided to go in costume as an Oscar statue.

Featured in the gallery: Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, Natalie Imbruglia, Mischa Barton, Shirley Bassey, Sarah Ferguson, Michael Jordan, Boris Becker, Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend, Julian McDonald, Richard Branson, Quincy Jones, Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson, Robert DeNiro, Grace Hightower, Mary Kate Olsen, Agyness Deyn, Gerard Butler, Wesley Snipes, Lily Allen, Chris Tucker, and Kylie Minogue.
