MJ: The obvious becomes official
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
The LA County coroner has finally finished his report on the death of Michael Jackson. To no one’s surprise, the singer died of lethal doses of the drug, propofol. The report finds that Jackson death is a homicide due to lethal injection of the drug.
The suspected injector? Dr. Conrad Murray, of course. Here’s the story, according to the good doctor:
The morning Jackson died, Dr. Murray gave Jackson valium at 1:30 AM. Murray said the valium didn’t work so he gave the singer an IV injection of lorazepam — an anti-anxiety drug. Murray told cops Jackson was still awake, so he then gave him midazolam — a sedative.
Murray gave Jackson more drugs. He says at 10:40 AM, he administered 25 mg of Propofol. Dr. Murray told cops Jackson repeatedly demanded the drug.
The reports filed by police and rescue workers, who responded to the scene the day Jackson died, do not show Propofol as one of the drugs Dr. Murray told them was administered. He told them about the Lorazepam [Ativan], but not about the other seditatives and definitely not about the propofol. If he is charged with the murder of Michael Jackson, this is the statement that will likely be his demise.

Paula returns to Idol after all?
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009
After she twitter-quit American Idol, announcing to the world that she would not be returning for the upcoming season, word is Paula Abdul has been bought back…with $10 million.
It is rumored that Paula has been offered $10 million to return, this after a flood of job offers from similar judge-based competition shows (So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing With the Stars, etc). Paula originally bailed on A.I. because she felt she was disrespected by them. She only recieves $4 million per season, while Ryan Seacrest rakes in $15 million.
Paula used Twitter to tell the world she was pissed and wasn’t returning to the show. But now with $10 million flying around, we may just be in for more drunken and useless banter from her.

The two were spotted romping around St. Tropez, and reportedly engaged, less than two weeks ago. Now, another Kate, Kate Major has emerged as postmarital relationship number 2.

The two first met at the beginning of the end for the reality show couple’s tumultuous marriage. Major was a reporter for Star and had flown to Pennsylvania for an interview with Jon. On the night following the interview, the pair went out for dinner.
“I would be lying if I said there wasn’t instant chemistry between us,” says Major of Gosselin.
Jon’s quick switheroo was news to the world, and even to Hailey Glassman. Glassman reportedly said the relationship between Jon and Kate Major was “news to her”. She also maintained that she loves Jon and Jon loves her. Ahh…What a tangled web we weave.
The entire interview with Kate Major airs on E! News this week.
