Dr. Conrad Murray’s Defense: Michael Jackson Killed Himself

Prosecutors in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case alluded to the defense Dr. Conrad Murray is likely to use in court – that the singer killed himself. Not on purpose of course, but according to the legal team of the physician on trial for his death, Jackson killed himself with a fatal dose of Propofol. L.A. County Deputy D.A. David Walgren says it’s “clear the defense is operating under the theory that the victim, Michael Jackson, killed himself.” REASONABLE DOUBT? Is Murray’s theory enough to beat the rap? Murray claims he left Michael’s bedroom the day he died (June 25, 2009) to go to the bathroom. MJ awoke and, in a moment of frustration, injected a massive dose of the anesthetic Murray was administering to treat his insomnia. Walgren said of the Dr. Conrad Murray and his lawyers in court, “They don’t want to say it, but that’s the direction in which they are going.” In fact, they don’t want to say anything . At the preliminary hearing, the defense plans on staying silent and letting the D.A. reveal its hand. The defense believes there’s no way this is not going to trial, and as such, will wait to see the prosecution outline its case before it decides how to proceed, using both the above theory and claims that other doctors over-medicated Michael .

Michael Jackson’s Estate Is “Sickened” By Discovery Channel Autopsy Reenactment TV Show

The King of Pop’s estate is pissed to say the least about a show that claims to break down the events that ultimately killed the legendary performer, complete with a reenactment of his autopsy. Everybody wants in on that MJ money, SMH. “Your decision to even schedule this program is in shockingly bad taste, insensitve to Michael’s family, and appears motivated solely by your blind desire to exploit Michael’s death, while cynically attempting to dupe the public into believing this show will have serious medical value,” wrote coexecutors John Branca and John McClain. The most disturbing part of the whole thing is the way Discovery marketed the show… Branca and McClain said that they were “especially outraged” by the “sickening” print advertisement for the special, which depicts a corpse on a gurney with a hand clad in a spangly white glove poking out from beneath a sheet. “The ad is debased, sick and insensitve,” they wrote. “No doubt this fictitious, morbid image is being spread worldwide even now on the Internet”–well, it is now!–”viewed by Michael’s loved ones, and even accepted as authentic by those who may be unaware that Discovery made it up.” What the hell was Discovery thinking putting a shiny glove on a corpse in an advertisment??? Did they REALLY think that was cute??? We’re sure people are gonna tune in and watch, but this is truly embarrassing to Discovery and the Jackson family. Source

Laura Govan Accuses Gilbert Arenas of Family Abandonment

When NBA star Gilbert Arenas was traded to the Orlando Magic this month, he didn’t just leave behind the Washington Wizards. He also abandoned his pregnant girlfriend and three children. A publicist for Laura Govan tells The Washington Post that the guard’s baby mama “has not heard from Arenas the whole month of December.” He reportedly left his family “with no money to purchase food or Christmas gifts.” Arenas actually seemed to acknowledge his irresponsible behavior, telling the newspaper soon after the trade: “I went to the airport and left. I didn’t have a chance to say bye to anybody. I didn’t even say bye to the kids.” Govan – who is the sister of Basketball Wives star Gloria Govan – and Arenas have had a rocky nine-year relationship. They’ve broken up numerous times, she’s been accused of having an affair with Shaquille O’Neal and she’s currently knocked up with her and Gilbert’s fourth child. Overall, we know Arenas likes to call himself as Agent Zero, but we always thought that was a reference to his uniform number. Not his number of morals.

THG Presents: The Year in Videos

What a wild year it’s been. From hit songs to LOL moments, meltdowns and bombshell scandals, some videos won’t be forgotten anytime soon. As 2010 draws to a close tonight, here are some of the videos that defined the year in Hollywood news, entertainment and celebrity gossip … Tiger Woods Apology Speech Tiger Woods apologizes : In the wake of his shocking sex scandal, Tiger came clean with a marathon, extremely stiff media mea culpa. Mel Gibson Tape #4: I’ll Burn The House Down! I’ll burn the house down! The Mel Gibson tapes made for one of ’10’s most remarkable stories. Here’s one of his most remarkable rants. Eminem – Love the Way You Lie (feat Rihanna) Eminem returns : With Rihanna on the chorus, the rapper’s single about domestic abuse struck a harrowing note and was an instant hit. Justin Bieber – U Smile U Smile, he melts UR heart : Any Justin Bieber video is likely to elicit squealing amongst the masses. This one perhaps more than most. Willow Smith Whip My Hair Music Video Whip your hair back and forth : With her first hit, Willow Smith lived up to the hype as the next Michael Jackson. Okay, maybe not yet. Sarah Palin Shoots Caribou Caribou killer : Anything Sarah Palin does makes news and gets people riled up, but this reality show caribou kill took it to a new level. Brett Favre Messages to Jenn Sterger Sext machine : Brett Favre sent some images of his junk to Jenn Sterger . He also hollered at her repeatedly, which you can listen to here. Amber Portwood Goes Off On Gary Shirley When Teen Moms attack : Amber Portwood was charged with three felonies for beating her baby daddy on MTV. Here’s one such fight. Angelina Pivarnick: I’m Hot (Full, Terrible Song) She’s hot : Okay, not really. At all. But Angelina Pivarnick’s rap debut may go down as the worst in history, and that’s saying something. Hold My Hand Full Video: Akon & Michael Jackson From beyond the grave : Michael Jackson teamed up with Akon on “Hold My Hand.” Akon also recently collaborated with Lonely Island . Kanye West Insane Concert Rant in NYC Kanye goes nuts : As crazy videos go, take your pick with Kanye West. We particularly liked this lengthy live rant (about previous rants). Rex Ryan’s Wife Michelle in a Foot Fetish Video Foot fetish : Those words alone make one cringe, but this video featuring N.Y. Jets coach Rex Ryan’s wife was pretty vanilla. Odd, though. Miley Cyrus Bong Video Puff all night long : Saving the best for last, nothing sparked outcry quite like the Miley Cyrus bong video . It was just salvia, okay?! God.
