After weeks of speculation over whether or not it would even air as scheduled, it looks like Bravo made the proper decision to premiere season two of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Monday night . From a ratings point of view, at least. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Premiere Clip The new episode was watched by 2.2 viewers, a 42% increase over last season’s opener. Moreover, the series enjoyed a 51% boost in the coveted demographic of 18-49-year olds. Most of the attention, of course, was due to the suicide of Russell Armstrong. A coroner reported yesterday that the late reality star did not have any drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of his hanging.
Casey Anthony’s parents have a new theory in the death of their granddaughter Caylee, according to Fox News. George and Cindy now feel Casey may have been incapacitated by a seizure while Caylee was drowning in “the swimming pool incident.” First, obvious mental problems . Now seizures. What next. Cindy and George revealed their theory during their interview with Dr. Phil , which airs September 12. No word on how it went over with the doc. Do Casey Anthony’s parents really feel Casey had a seizure that went undiagnosed until now and wasn’t mentioned in court? And that Caylee died as a result? Here’s their supposed explanation for this new notion: Cindy reportedly told Dr. Phil that Casey Anthony suffered gran mal seizures in 2005 and 2008, and suggested that the seizures may be symptomatic of a condition that could make it difficult to “sort fact from fiction.” Denial. It’s not just for Rick Perry and climate change.

They realized it would be a controversial decision to acquit Casey Anthony of murder. Heck, they even hated the girl personally. But the 12-member Orlando-area jury did what they felt was right and let her walk. The public outrage that followed was not what they expected. The Casey Anthony jury has received death threats , been barred from restaurants, been shunned by family, even been forced to flee in fear of backlash. Their names remain closely guarded, but one male juror consented to speak with People under the condition of complete and utter anonymity. His basic take? Casey Anthony sucks, but what are you gonna do? “We all tried hard to separate emotions from the evidence,” he says. “Generally, none of us liked Casey Anthony at all. She frankly seems like a horrible person. But the prosecutors did not give us enough evidence to convict.” “They gave us a lot of stuff that makes us think that [Casey Anthony] probably did something wrong, but that is not beyond a reasonable doubt.” Now that the trial is over, life “has been a nightmare,” says the juror. “I have been living in fear that someone will find out who I am. I Google my name every single day to see if anyone has figured out who I am.” “The few people that do know [my true identity] haven’t said anything, but one of my friends told me that his wife forbid him to talk to me.” “My own sister cussed me out. It has ruined my life.” Did the jury get it right?
With the exception of dodging some flying objects over the weekend, Charlie Sheen has remained relatively quiet over the last few weeks. Heck, he’s even made peace with Brooke Mueller . It may be confusing to those of us used to the actor’s Warlock ways, but Emilio Estevez says his brother is “a completely different guy.” This time for good, supposedly. Speaking to Access Hollywood , Estevez says Sheen has his “voice back.” The former Young Guns star credits a couple projects in the works for helping Charlie regain his “focus.” “He’s on a new show [ Anger Management ] and he’s gonna be roasted by Comedy Central – which I think is going to be hysterical,” Estevez says. “I think that he’s really got it together. And he’s very excited about the crew of the show he’s putting together.” [Photos: WENN.com]
Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr. – who were convicted of murdering three Boy Scouts in 1993 and who have come to be known as “The West Memphis 3” – were released today after serving 18 years in prison. In an odd, legal twist, the trio entered a plea of guilty in court… and were subsequently set free. The case grew in stature and publicity over the last few years, as new DNA evidence came to light that cast doubt on the conviction. Two documentaries were made about the West Memphis 3, with celebrities such as Eddie Vedder and Natalie Maines insisting on a retrial, and even showing up in court today. The families of two of the victims even joined forces with the defense, proclaiming that Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley Jr. were innocent. Following the threesome’s guilty plea, the lead prosecutor on the case issued a statement, excerpts from which read: “In light of these circumstances I decided to entertain plea offers that were being proposed by the defense. I NEVER considered ANY arrangement that would negate the verdicts of those two juries. Guilt or Innocence was NEVER ON THE TABLE. “Today’s proceeding allows the defendants the freedom of speech to SAY they are innocent, but the FACT is, they just pled GUILTY. I strongly believe that the interests of justice have been served today.” This arrangement is known as an “”Alford plea,” with defendants essentially admitting there was enough evidence to convict at the time of the trial, yet maintaining the right to state their innocence. Immediately following their release, Damien and Jessie held a press conference and insisted they served 18 years for a crime they “did not commit.” Jason is yet to comment.
Lindsay Lohan is suing rapper Pitbull over disparaging lyrics in one of his songs. He does zing her pretty good, but a lawsuit? Get outta town. The hit song, “Give Me Everything,” contains this line: Hustlers move aside, so I’m tiptoein’, to keep flowin’, I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan . Oooh, that one hurt! Pitbull – Give Me Everything ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Nayer LiLo claims in her lawsuit that “the lyrics, by virtue of its wide appeal, condemnation, excoriation, disparaging or defamatory statements by the defendants regarding the plaintiff are destined to do irreparable harm to the plaintiff.” Yes, a PITBULL SONG is likely to to her irreparable harm. Lindsay, who LOL-tastically claims she is “a professional actor of good repute and standing in the Screen Actors Guild,” is suing under New York civil rights laws safeguarding one’s name from being exploited for commercial purposes. Lindsay Lohan alleges the song causes her “to be associated in connection with defendants” and seeks to halt broadcasting of the song. Good luck.

Dr. Conrad Murray’s legal team believes sequestering the jury is the only way to ensure his fair trial in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case. Charged with involuntarily causing the King of Pop’s death, Murray wants the court protect him and the system from “character assassinations.” The name Nancy Grace has come up more than once from Murray’s lawyers, citing the case of Casey Anthony , who ended up walking in July. Dr. Conrad Murray ‘s lawyers say the only reason the Anthony jurors were unswayed by the media skewering of Anthony was because they were sequestered. According to documents, Grace and others engaged in “nonstop on-air abuse of not only the defendant, but the jurors and defense attorneys involved.” The legal docs claim , “There is reasonable expectation that Dr. Murray’s trial will be the most publicized in history,” and that of the several hundred jurors polled during jury selection, only one claimed not to have heard of the case. Judge Michael Pastor said last month he would consider sequestering the jury, although he felt it was unnecessary and expensive. Stay tuned … [Photo: WENN.com]
