Jury Questionnaire in Michael Jackson Manslaughter Case: Anybody Use Propofol?

Dr. Conrad Murray’s lawyers and the prosecutors in the upcoming Michael Jackson manslaughter trial want to know all sorts of things about potential jurors. A 30-page long questionnaire with 117 questions asks everything from whether individuals read celebrity gossip blogs to whether they’re insomniacs. Some of the many highlights of the exhaustive list include: What Internet sites or celebrity blogs if any, do you visit on a regular basis? Have you posted any blogs concerning Michael Jackson or Conrad Murray? Have you or anyone close to you ever worked in any aspect of the media? Then there are these six questions in which prospective jurors must select either Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, Strongly Agree or No Opinion … Celebrities and high-profile people feel like they are entitled to act however they please Celebrities and high-profile people think they can bend the rules Celebrities and high-profile people abuse their power and status to intimidate other into giving them what they want Celebrities and high-profile people in Los Angeles get away with crimes because of their status Celebrities and high-profile people in Los Angeles are treated the same way by the police as anyone else Police are more lenient with celebrities and high-profile people Then there’s the medical portion, critical to the prosecution and the defense of Murray, who will likely claim that Michael Jackson killed himself : Have you or anyone close to you ever had a job that required a professional license? Was that license ever suspended, revoked, restricted, or the subject of investigation or inquiry. Do you have any familiarity with the following medications? (several drugs are listed, many of them drugs MJ took, including Propofol) Do you know anyone who is or has been addicted to prescription medication? Are you or someone close to you currently taking medication for pain, anxiety, depression or insomnia? Reports say Murray is seeking responsible jurors who take responsibility for their own actions, in hopes he will not be found liable for MJ’s death. That’s all tall order, considering he was treating him with a drug he most likely should not have used, but was MJ a lost cause, as Murray claims? Did he push the limit so far no one can be blamed but himself? That’s what he’ll be asking the jury. The trial is set for May 9.

Lindsay Lohan Denies Hiding in the Closet From Deranged Dad

Lindsay Lohan is denying a slew of hilarious reports that she hid in her closet when her father, Michael Lohan, paid her a surprise visit yesterday afternoon. The troubled star claims she wasn’t even home in Venice, Calif., when MiLo came by, and was reported quite desperately trying to get her to open the door. “I’m fine,” she told E! “I wasn’t even home so it’s funny how I was in my closet.” Reports surfaced that Lindsay was hiding from Michael out of fear. It was said that Michael was pounding on her front door trying to break in, then after getting no response, peered into windows as he tried to spot her. That may well have happened, but Lindsay says she wasn’t there. Though if she were there and hiding in the closet, no one would’ve seen her, so … You have to wonder. Girl does lie a lot. For what it’s worth, MiLo, who was recently arrested for domestic violence , left before the police were called. Just another chapter in Lindsay’s crazy personal life, a saga that long ago eclipsed whatever career she had. Betty White would not approve. [Photos: WENN.com]

Jersey Shore Casts Gets HUGE Raise, Officially Signs on For Season 4!

All for one, and one for all. The Jersey Shore cast will officially be back, intact, for Season 4 of the hit show, having been granted the raise they sought. The crew will reportedly receive at least $100,000 per episode per person for the upcoming season, expected to last about 13 episodes later this year. Having delivered record ratings this winter, they wanted to get paid. They weren’t exactly hurting, but wanted bank commensurate with their stardom. WE’RE RICH, BEEYITCH : The Jersey-ites are runnin’ it back! Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio delayed filming over it , but all is good now. The scheduled Season 4 in Italy has run into various snags, but the cast holding out is no longer one of them. It’s on to the old country before long. While $100,000 per episode is certainly a ton (up from $10,000 per in Season 1), it’s nothing compared to their endorsement and appearance dough. The Situation banked $5 million last year. That’s enough to make you slit your wrists or raise a glass of Ron-Ron Juice, depending on your outlook.
