She tweeted Monday: "I've been asked to speak at the Staples Center. I cannot be part of the public whoopla." She wrote a couple of minutes later, "And I cannot guarantee that I would be coherent to say a word." Then, she wrote a minute later, "I just don't believe that Michael would want me to share my grief with millions of others. How I feel is between us. Not a public event."
She then wrote, "I said I wouldn't go to the Staples Center and I certainly don't want to become a part of it. I love him too much." She followed that up with, "My love goes out to [Michael's mother] Katherine and Michael's beloved children."
"The Insider" can also debunk a rumor going around -- a source tells us that Dame Elizabeth never asked [Michael's doctor], Dr. Conrad Murray, to be her doctor in London while seeing Michael.

Sleep well Michael with all my Love
I absolute feel with you, that you won’t participate in the obsequies for Mr. Michael Jackson. Today Mr. Jackson certainly is very close to you, apart from the massive spectacle. Your individual friendship surely will last for ever. It’s really a tragedy, that he often was alone during his life. After the death of great exceptional personalities, they will be more appreciated. But: Now Mr. Michael Jackson is most welcome in heaven!!! Your light is your new guardian angle, Michael Jackson!!! God’s blessing to you and the lovely children of Mr. Michael Jackson!!! – Olivia Rotzoll
I had tears in my eyes when I read that you loved Michael Jackson too much to make a public display of it. Most of us will go through our lives and never have such a friend as you. My deepest sympathy to you as you grieve your dear friend.
The 3-D concert rumor that is going around? Unless he stated it and it can be proven (i.e. his will) it shouldn't happen, seems distasteful to plan it so soon even if you discount his wishes.
