Dr. Conrad Murray Writing Michael Jackson Tell-All, Publishers Couldn’t Be Less Interested

Dr. Conrad Murray is writing a tell-all book. Hey, he has to pass the time wasting away in jail somehow. The number of publishers who care is not high, however. “Dr. Murray spends most of his days writing what he [says] is a tell-all book about what really happened in the final days of Michael Jackson’s life,” a source to him says. “Murray believes that the public will want to hear about the time he spent with Michael … he says that Michael confided his inner-most secrets about his true feelings.” “[MJ talked] about his family, the child molestation trial and his three children. Murray contends that Michael’s kids viewed him as a family member and loved him.” True or not, it all boils down to Murray’s boredom. And cash flow problems. “This is all about money for Murray though … he is flat broke and desperately needs the cash ,” the source adds. “He feels that the book could help rehab his image.” Jackson’s former physician was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of the music great and was sentenced to four years in jail. Attempts to portray himself as a sympathetic figure would be hard enough, but add in the fact that Murray has shown no remorse and it’s darn near impossible. Dude even ripped Katherine Jackson , Michael’s mother, for not being there for him. ” Conrad Murray is extremely arrogant and doesn’t accept responsibility for the death of Michael Jackson. He truly believes he has done nothing wrong,” the insider says. As a result, when contacted by reps about potential interest in releasing the book by Murray, publishers’ collective response so far has been, “no thanks.” Let’s all cry a river for that, shall we?

Eddie Vedder Performs at Obama Fundraiser, Calls Mitt Romney Comments "Upsetting"

Eddie Vedder clearly thinks you can’t find a better man than Barack Obama for President … or at least that he’s a better man for the job than Mitt Romney. Performing a set of songs at a campaign fundraiser for Obama in South Tampa last night, the Pearl Jam frontman bashed Romney’s 47 percent comments . “It’s very upsetting to hear a presidential candidate be so easily dismissive of such a ginormous amount of the population,” Vedder told the audience. Vedder helped raise $1.7 million Thursday for Obama’s reelection campaign, playing four songs for the president and 85 guests at a $20,000-per-person dinner. “I can’t say I’ve ever played that many songs in a suit before,” he said of “Rise,” “Without You,” James Taylor’s “Millworker” and Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World.” He recalled signing up for a government security guard training program, working the midnight shift and becoming a security supervisor at a petroleum company. It was this, he said, that made his dreams reality . “I’m an example of someone who never made it to university,” Vedder said. “I did have this dream to be a musician. I felt that this dream had an expiration date.” “It was that job which allowed me to keep affording to guitars and microphones … For me, it all began with that ability to get the proper training for a decent job.” “It’s very upsetting to hear a presidential candidate be so easily dismissive of such a ginormous amount of the population.” Vedder introduced Obama, who thanked him for “for that unbelievable performance but more importantly for that story.” “For you to share that story with us, Eddie, speaks volumes not only about you but about this country,” Obama said. That story captures better than anything what this campaign is about and what this country is about.” Jackson Ripley would surely agree … what about you? Who are you voting for in November?
