I think People magazine may have outdone themselves with this one.

While the city of Los Angeles covered many of the costs of Michael Jackson’s lavish memorial, the bill for his private funeral Thursday night may end up being footed by his estate.

“The expenses will be extraordinary, but Michael Jackson was extraordinary,” Jeryll Cohen, an attorney for the singer’s estate, said Wednesday at a hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court.

I’ve never really been one for jokes after a major star dies.  I just don’t think it’s all that funny.  And I know People probably wasn’t trying to joke but come on.   They can’t insert a “Michael Jackson’s Estate to pay?”

Pretty easy if you ask me.  Trying to get some cheap pageviews guys?
