Two more terrific dancers have left Season 10 of Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance after the competition’s performance show Tuesday night. The episode, which featured the finalists paired up with 10 fan favorite So You Think You Can Dance All-Stars, featured some great routines. But they weren’t enough to save the following two dancers: Nico Greetham and Makenzie Dustman were eliminated. Tucker Knox and Jenna Johnson also landed in the bottom four this week but were saved by the votes of a group of 15 judges and choreographers. Nigel Lythgoe said the voters were unanimous in wanting Tucker to stay over Nico, while the Jenna vs. Makenzie vote was closer: 9 votes to 6. Do you agree with this week’s SYTYCD results?
Debbie Rowe is expected to testify at the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial that her ex-husband was addicted to Propofol 12 years before he died. At least twice in the ’90s, doctors misused a drug similar to Propofol, enabling MJ to sleep through the night – or so TMZ reports she’ll tell the jury . Debbie Rowe will be called to testify by AEG Live, though she views herself as a hostile witness, as she feels AEG is largely responsible for MJ’s death. She is expected to say that in 1997, doctors administered Diprivan (an anesthetic and form of Propofol) to Michael in a Munich, Germany hotel room. Rowe will say the drug was administered specifically so Michael could sleep. The testimony is significant because AEG Live is trying to show Michael Jackson was responsible for his own decisions and misused drugs for years. Rowe will also say, contrarily, that she never viewed him as a drug addict. She will testify that was addicted to Demerol, which he used to deal with the pain and anxiety from scalp surgeries after being horribly burned years earlier. He was not, however, a reckless or out-of-control drug fiend in her eyes. In fact, he had gone to rehab to battle addiction and he was open about it. Rowe personally injected Michael in the buttocks with Demerol and Vistaril several times while she worked for Dr. Arnold Klein , MJ’s closest confidante. She had no idea that in the last months of Michael’s life, Klein (the rumored biological father of Prince and Paris Jackson ) gave him Demerol often. Rowe is expected to say on the stand that she saw a video of MJ leaving Klein’s office looking particularly out of it, just days before he died in 2009. After he passed, she called Klein and said “You killed him. What did you give him?” Rowe also told her therapist that year, “They’re [AEG] gonna kill him.” Whether this plays out on the stand – and how a jury reacts, with a BILLION-dollar lawsuit on the line – remains to be seen, but we’ll keep you posted.
Will Ronnie Magro be allowed to film Jersey Shore’s fourth season in Italy despite the pending litigation against him? His lawyer is trying to make it happen. Joseph A. Raia told a judge that the reality star will submit an application for a pretrial intervention program in connection with a pending assault charge . The charge is in connection with an 18-month-old incident in which Ron cold cocked Stephen Izzo with one punch after an exchange at a Seaside Heights. The incident was broadcast in an episode titled, fittingly, “One Shot.” The court application would allow Ronnie to tape the show’s fourth season in Italy. While not admitting guilt, the applicant (Ron-Ron) just has to stay out of trouble for a defined time period (at least a year) to avoid a criminal record. Magro’s next court date is June 6. It’s unknown if his bid will be accepted, but hard to see him being denied the right to film abroad for a few weeks. Follow the jump to see the fight … Jersey Shore – One Shot Fight
Charged with involuntary manslaughter, Dr. Conrad Murray will likely argue that Michael Jackson killed himself with a lethal dose of Propofol. Even if that were true (and it’s a stretch), it still wouldn’t get Murray off the hook. The treatment he gave MJ was suspect for myriad reasons. To that end, Murray’s lawyers just filed documents pointing fingers at none other than Dr. Arnold Klein – Jackson’s longtime doctor and friend. Murray claims that Klein addicted Jackson to Demerol and other powerful narcotics. It’s part of his plan to establish Michael as a lost cause physically . Murray’s legal team claims Klein fueled MJ’s addiction as recently as 2009 by giving him scores of Demerol injections in the months prior to his death. He may have a point there. In the months before Jackson died, Dr. Arnold Klein gave Jackson 51 Demerol injections. But is it relevant to the case? The docs claim it is for this reason: “Due to Mr. Klein’s actions, Mr. Jackson became physiologically and psychologically dependent on Demerol.” Murray’s team says Dr. Arnold Klein , who is also the rumored biological father of MJ’s kids Paris and Prince, “is a relevant, highly material witness.” Dr. Conrad Murray …
