Michael Jackson Family on Conrad Murray Sentence: Not Long Enough!
5 months ago
Dr. Conrad Murray was sentenced to four years behind bars today, the longest possible prison term for involuntary manslaughter. Needless to say, Michael Jackson’s family is adamant that he deserves every day of that sentence, and then some.
His mother, Katherine Jackson, made that abundantly clear in recent weeks.
In Murray’s official Probation Report, Katherine lashes out at Murray for his documentary, in which he lays blame on Michael and denies any wrongdoing.
Katherine feels Murray’s four-year sentence is “insufficient.”
The report says, “During filming, he repeatedly stated that he

The good news for Michael Lohan? He managed to NOT get arrested last night.
The bad news? He was rushed to the hospital with heart problems and will undergo surgery today.
Lohan reportedly complained of chest pains while residing in a Florida treatment and, following a blood pressure reading of 200/110, was immediately taken to the hospital.
Doctors found a blood clot in one of Lindsay’s awful father’s lungs and will insert a stent into his heart this afternoon. Lohan also had surgery in February to fix an artery blockage.
We wish Michael a full recovery, we suppose.

6 months ago
Former MTV News anchor Kurt Loder was asked to weigh in on the Conrad Murray verdict this morning in an interview, and shared his thoughts on the situation.
On Jeff and Jeremy in the Morning, Loder was asked if he thought MJ’s death was a tragedy. He replied that it was, but that the star was also a child molester, so …
Here’s what Loder said on that topic, unprovoked:

Michael Lohan: Cooling His Ass in Solitary, Trying to Call Kim Granatelle Collect
6 months ago
Michael Lohan is still cooling his rear end in solitary confinement in a Florida jail after being denied bail last weekend, but he has been allowed to make calls.
Collect calls. Which people apparently don’t answer.
A recording of a call he attempted to place to one of his many flames – Kim Granatelle, from The Real Housewives of New Jersey – was obtained this morning.
She didn’t actually answer the phone and let the call go to her voicemail. Probably wise. Mike is in solitary for his repeated harassment of ex Kate Major.
“Kim has spoken with Michael who told

Michael Lohan In More Trouble with the Law
6 months ago
Michael Lohan is dead set on proving he can out-criminalize his daughter.
Following multiple run-ins with the law over the last few days for Lindsay’s father, it has now come out that there’s an active warrant out for his arrest in Suffolk County, New York, stemming from ignored child support payments.
TMZ confirms that Lohan owes money to the mother of a child in Montana he allegedly father, and will be arrested on sight if police spot him in New York City, Nassau County or Suffolk County.
Seriously, this guy should just pose for a handful of mug shots at once. It would save everyone a

Dr. Conrad Murray Defense Witness Sort of Takes Back Key Theory
6 months ago
Anesthesiologist and Propofol expert Dr. Paul White, a witness called by Dr. Conrad Murray’s defense team, isn’t doing the defendant a lot of favors this week.
Having somewhat altered his original claim that Michael Jackson could have died from ingesting Propofol, he may have erased any lingering reasonable doubt.
White’s initial theory was that swallowing Propofol could’ve been fatal for Michael Jackson, whose death Murray is charged with involuntary manslaughter for.
Now, though, he’s singing a different tune.
He claims he included that theory in a prior report for the defense

Dr. Conrad Murray Lawyer: Michael Jackson Had PLENTY of Time to Off Himself
7 months ago
Dr. Conrad Murray’s attorneys are trying to change defendant’s defense in his involuntary manslaughter trial, telling jurors Michael Jackson had much more than two minutes alone self-administer a fatal dose of Propofol June 25, 2009.
By claiming this, they are contradicting Murray’s own statement.
Murray’s attorney J. Michael Flanagan suggested that the two-minute window Murray said he left the star alone for that morning wasn’t accurate after all.
Prosecutors have lambasted the idea that MJ could have woken up, grabbed a bottle of Propofol and injected it into the port in his leg in just

According to a TMZ report, Prince is telling family that if he’s called to the stand, he’ll do what needs to be done in the name of justice for his late father.
