A $150 TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON......IS THAT TO MUCH?....ESPECIALLY WHEN HE'S NOT GOING TO BE THERE!!

Forever Michael" is being thrown by The Jackson Family Foundation and VoicePlate.com. Joseph Fahmy, the guy who runs VoicePlate, tells TMZ Joe and Katherine Jackson, along with
Michael's 3 kids are expected to attend. But sources connected with the family
tell us ... Katherine and the kids won't even be in town on June 26 -- the day
of the event.

According to the VoicePlate website, "A portion of the proceeds for this event will be presented to some of Michael Jackson's favorite
charities at the event." As for what portion goes to charity and where the rest
of the money goes ... Fahmy wouldn't say, although he did tell us he just hopes
to break even.

And there's this ... Fahmy says Jackson songs will be sung the entire evening. It's all news to the Michael Jackson estate. Howard
Weitzman, lawyer for the estate, tells TMZ, "No one ever contacted the Estate to
see whether or not they would approve, participate in, or allow the use of
Michael's name, likeness, image or intellectual property for this event."
