I have just found this 2 page document on the official site of the LA Superior Court.

It is titled "Rules and Guidelines for the Public Drawing in the People v. Conrad Murray Trial"

When I read this I noticed that it was infact the rules for members of the public watching the trial in the courtroom through some sort of lottery winning, which enables 6 "Winners" to have a seat in the courtroom for a particular day of the trial!

Unfortunately, it is a PDF file (So you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed in order to read it) which means I cannot copy and paste the information on it, but some of it is very interesting...

One of the more interesting statements is:

 :!:Anyone wearing make-up, costumes, or any "tribute attire" related to any party associated with the case will not be permitted to participate in the public drawing
(I found that one quite funny and ironic for various reasons)

The document also refers to the people as "Audience members", which I found was quite odd?

Anyway, you can read the document for yourselves here:

Digging through some old articles about the O2 Press Conference, I discovered this twitter account. It would appear it's by someone from the media, but don't know who.

TMZ Articles / Michael Jackson Statue Erected Outside Soccer Stadium

Michael Jackson Statue Erected Outside Soccer Stadium
4/3/2011 12:26 PM PDT by TMZ Staff  

English Premier League soccer and Michael Jackson are synonymous with each other (just go with it) so it should come as no surprise that a statute in his honor was unveiled outside a stadium in London today.



Turns out the owner of the Fulham FC, Mohamed Al Fayed, was close friends with Jackson. He had originally planned to put the statue outside of Harrods in London, but he sold the store last year.

So now it is displayed outside of a soccer stadium in London. Perfect match.

"Himesh Reshammiya marks his international debut in French director Christopher Lenoir's film A*, based on Michael Jackson's death

Recently there was a buzz in the industry that Himesh Reshammiya was about to embark on an international debut.

Well, Reshammiya has not only signed and sealed the international deal with French director Christopher Lenoir, but has also completed shooting for the movie.

The film, called A*, which is reportedly based on the death of pop icon Michael Jackson, will feature Reshammiya essaying the character of Sidharth Patel.

Our source tells us, "The makers of the film have come up with a unique strategy and have just released the promo of the film on the web. In the promo of A*, the mysterious circumstances leading to the death of a superstar has an uncanny resemblance to Michael Jackson's death. Himesh has already shot for the film.

He was selected by producers ARI Films and director Christopher Lenoir, who felt that he would best suit the part of Sidharth Patel, the only Indian actor in the film.

Himesh's character, Sidharth, is an Indian musician mesmerized by the superstar."

The source adds, "While everyone thought that Himesh is down and out, he has now surprised everyone with a film, which is sure to make headlines all over, especially in India due to its controversial subject." Despite repeated attempts to contact Christopher Lenoir and Reshammiya, they remained unavailable for comment.

MJ's controversial death

On June 25, 2009 - MJ died after he suffered cardiac arrest, at his home. His personal physician, Conrad Murray, said he found Jackson in his room with a faint pulse, and so he administered CPR, however to no avail.

Initial reports discussed the possible role of painkillers in Jackson's death. He reportedly took medication for insomnia.

July 08, 2009 - MJ's death certificate was issued by the Public Health Officials, who referred to cause of death as "deferred".

August 28, 2009 - The Los Angeles County Coroner declared Jackson's death a homicide caused by the combination of drugs in his body. Before his death, Jackson reportedly had been administered Propofol, along with two anti-anxiety medicines.

Law enforcement officials investigated Jackson's personal physician, Conrad Murray, who told investigators that he had been trying to wean Jackson off Propofol.

Some statements described Murray using a non-standard CPR technique on Jackson. During the tape of the emergency call, released on June 26, the doctor was described as administering CPR on a bed, not on a hard surface such as a floor, which would be standard practice."

Is Himesh's 'A * Is Killed' based on Michael Jackson's murder?
By Joginder Tuteja, March 14, 2011 - 11:13 IST


Himesh Reshammiya Himesh Reshammiya is back. And this time around, it is pretty much with a bang. Just when the world was wondering that where had the man disappeared, it has now been revealed that he was quietly making progress on his next film. And this time around it is an international project no less which is titled A * Is Killed (where * stands for STAR). The film is produced by Arifilms and directed by Christophe Lenoir.

While the announcement by itself was enough to make many stand up and take notice, what has further turned out to be shocking is the film's first promo. Those who have had a dekko at it are pretty much sure that A * Is Killed is based on the murder of, hold your breath, none less than Micheal Jackson.

"It is clear that the film is making obvious references to Michaeal Jackson", says a source, "Even though no names are taken, the 100 second promo gives out all the signals indicating that the story is about Jackson who was found dead under mysterious circumstances in June 2009. The film by itself gives the feel of a chilling dramatic thriller."

The teaser, which is currently available online, has a few shots from the film interspersed with quotes/snippets from friends, supporters and family members of the killed superstar, all of whom are expressing a sense of disbelief that the man is not amidst them any more. A * Is Killed is said to be taking on from this point on and seemingly unfolds truth behind this murder.

So where does Himesh Reshammiya come into picture? Well, he plays the character of Sidharth Patel, who is an Indian musician mesmerized by the superstar who gets killed. The promo established his importance to the film's plot as he is shown as the man who takes his own course to unveil the truth.

As per sources, Himesh (who by the way is the only Indian actor in this international project) was selected by the producer Arifilms and director Christophe Lenoir because they felt that he really suited the part of Sidharth Patel. Though further details are awaited around the film and it has to be seen whether Himesh's international venture goes on to hit the bull's eye, A * Is Killed is all set to open the Pandora's box as it would well compel viewers worldwide to think about who actually killed Jackson.

Despite repeated attempts, producers Arifilms and director Christophe Lenoir were unavailable for comment.

Michael Jackson News / Hollywood Nights? The Official Music Video
« on: March 10, 2011, 03:52:21 AM »
[youtube:axy8q2bo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjGtTUfPcI4[/youtube:axy8q2bo]

The caption reads,
Music video by Michael Jackson performing Hollywood Nights. (C) 2011 Optimum Productions


The most obvious thing is that the track has been completely re-recorded and remixed and they seem to be using the beat from Billie Jean. Also Michael's vocal is slightly different in terms of it's pitch and timbre, meaning is probably not the one that was used on the album.

MJ Tributes / Smooth Criminal Flash Mob
« on: January 22, 2011, 06:04:43 AM »
There was a link on the Michael Jackson Official Facebook Page that led to a Smooth Criminal Flash Mob video, which is quite cool. One thing that immediately sticks out about this is the page the video is hosted on and some of you may understand why...  ;)



Eataly Gets Hit By 'Smooth Criminal' Flash Mob
First Posted: 01/21/11 02:30 PM Updated: 01/21/11 05:50 PM


The King of Pop may be gone, but his music will no doubt inspire flash mobs for years to come.

Classical violinist David Garrett and a group of musicians and dancers, dressed in chefs' coats, congregated at Eataly yesterday for a flash mob performance of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal."

Watch the timeless ode to the tragedies of spousal abuse take new form below.

TMZ Articles / MJ Estate Shuts Down 'Moonwalker' Screening

MJ Estate Shuts Down 'Moonwalker' Screening

22 minutes ago by TMZ Staff  

Another crushing blow to Michael Jackson fans ... TMZ has learned the MJ estate has blocked an L.A. movie company from finally screening "Moonwalker" in an American theater.



The ArcLight theater had been on the hunt for a film print of the 1988 cult-classic ... but was having trouble because the film was never officially released in theaters in the U.S.

Now, ArcLight explains ... "We have bad news. It's not available" ... adding, "We contacted the films directors and producers and were finally directed to MJ's estate attorney. They let us know the estate has the rights, but 'have no plans to make... prints available for rent at this time.'"

However, the estate didn't slam the door on the idea of releasing it in the future ... so keep your fingers crossed.

Michael Jackson News / Michael Jackson's Vision - Blood on the Dancefloor
« on: November 20, 2010, 11:06:19 AM »
For some strange reason the version on the DVD is the "Refugee Camp" Remix, which I, personally don't actually like. Although the video is the same as the regular version released in 2007, it is however an extra minute or so longer, but there's no new scenes.

(For those who don't know "Refugee Camp" is sometimes another name for the 'Fugees' or artists affiliated with them, in particular Wyclef Jean)

I have no idea why they would use this version rather than the original, in my view this lets the collection down as the rest of the videos all contain the original album/video versions of the songs (with the exception of 'Another Part of Me', which is mixed together from Live Concert performance footage and audio.)

Other Odd Things / Breaking News - Two Pairs of Shoes? lol
« on: November 11, 2010, 08:50:41 AM »
Something I found a little strange and completely unrelated to anything, the background image on the Breaking News site shows two pairs of Michael's shoes and a lot of stardust

(Unfortunately the images are two wide to post here, if someone can be bothered to save them and shrink them to repost that would be helpful.)

Just thought this is something light to take away from all the serious discussion to do with the track itself. I kinda hope no-one manages to make a big deal out of this!  :roll:   :lol:

From AOL Today: UK

"Robbie Williams has revealed that he's been battling a mystery illness that leaves him feeling "lethargic and depressed""


Now here's the screencap of the news...
[attachment=0:21e9ynkp]robbie williams.jpg[/attachment:21e9ynkp]
Below is the interview with Robbie and it doesn't mention Michael at all, although it does Elvis.


"In an interview with Magic 105.4FM, due to air on Sunday, Robbie explained: "I thought I was lethargic and depressed as a person. I thought that was my make-up.

"I found out a few months ago that I'd been ill, completely by mistake, and I don't want to go into the whys and wherefores but what I had made you lethargic and depressed and I'd had it for years and not known and I'm on treatment for it. It's changed my life."

So far we have yet to discover what this mystery illness is but now that he's back on track, he's happy to tell all about his wild past.

Robbie revealed that when he fell out with his Take That bandmates, he went off the rails and ended up with a £500,000 debt and an alcohol problem.

On dealing with his then superstar status, he said: "I don't think anybody's responded to it particularly well when they get to a certain level.

"Elton John went mental, Elvis went mental, I went mental. Everybody at some point, at some stage, goes bonkers."

Since Robbie's putting himself on the same level as Elton John and Elvis, we're wondering just how strong the medication for this mysterious illness really is."

Lisa Marie Presley / Lisa Marie Moves to England
« on: August 19, 2010, 05:32:12 AM »

"Lisa Marie, daughter of Elvis Presley, has left Los Angeles to settle in an English stately home near the Scientology HQ.

She moved with hubby Michael Lockwood, 42, and their twin girls to an 8-million-pound pad close to Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

According to pals, the cult member fled America to escape gossip surrounding late ex-husband Michael Jackson.

Her new home is heavily guarded with staff patrolling on quad bikes.

The 11-bedroom pad also boasts an indoor pool, cinema, sauna and lake in its 90-acre grounds.

"She couldn't wait to start a new life in England and felt at home the moment she arrived, " the Sun quoted a source as saying."

This article sticks out to me for one main reason... It says that Lisa has moved to get away from gossip surrounding Michael, however she has moved to the same place in England that Michael would have been staying if he had done the This Is It concerts in London  :roll:
