As if things weren’t hard enough for the Jackson family after Michael Jackson’s tragic death, now his family can’t agree on funeral arrangements.

Adding to the stress is the fact that MJ’s parents Joe and Katherine Jackson are both Jehovah’s Witnesses; hence they are trying to bury his body as soon as possible.

An inside source told press, “The idea is causing internal stress within the family.  The glass casket idea would create so much public interest it would take time to organize.  People would make the pilgrimage from the other side of the world.  The question that keeps coming back is, ‘What would Michael have wanted?’”

Meanwhile, authorities are still investigating the circumstances surrounding Jackson’s death, with toxicology reports still out for another couple of weeks.

Lindsay Lohan: “I’m a Workaholic”

Jun 30, 2009 Author: The Gossip Girls at (c) gossipgirls.com | Filed under: On the Wire

She’s never been known for her good judgment, but nonetheless Lindsay Lohan says she has the best work ethic in Tinseltown.

In a recent interview, the “Mean Girls” actress did a bit of bragging about her penchant for ambition, giving herself props for putting her nose to the grindstone.

She explained, “It’s not that hard to be me, but I do work harder than most of my friends’ parents.  I am the hardest-working person I know. I’m a workaholic. I don’t know what to do when I’m not working. I get creatively frustrated.”

LiLo continued, “I prefer to be making films.  For most people — and for me, too — there’s something about going to the movies.  It’s about being able to transform into different people and tell different stories. You can go to the movies if you’re depressed, and you can walk out later laughing. The fact that going into a theater for two hours can do that is an amazing feeling.  To be the person who’s on that screen, who can make someone feel better, or bring out more emotion in someone, makes me feel really blessed that I’m able to do that. It’s just about finding the right roles, but when the time is right, they will come.”
