Murray is asking appellate court to re-test a piece of medical evidence from his trial.
By Gil Kaufman
<P>The imprisoned cardiologist <a href="/news/articles/1673906/michael-jackson-conrad-murray-verdict-guilty-involuntary-manslaughter.jhtml">convicted of manslaughter</a>
 in the 2009 death of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/jackson_michael/artist.jhtml">Michael Jackson</a> filed a request on Monday to have a key piece of evidence in his trial re-tested. Dr. Conrad Murray is asking an appellate court to order a lab to authorize a forensic analysis on residue in a drug vial taken from the bedroom of Jackson's rented Los Angeles estate.</P><P>According to the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0731-murray-20120731,0,2898322.story" target="_blank"><I>Los Angeles Times</I></a> Murray's defense team thinks that the 100-milliliter bottle, which was a key piece of evidence at the 2011 trial that ended with Murray's conviction on involuntary manslaughter charges, could help lead to a successful appeal of the sentence.</P><P>Murray's fingerprint was on the bottle, which prosecutors said held the lethal dose of the surgical anesthetic propofol that killed Jackson. Prosecutors had argued that Murray mixed a small amount of propofol with another anesthetic, lidocaine, in an intravenous drip and then left Jackson unattended.</P><P>Murray's defense team said the vial was in a bag of trash and was unrelated to Jackson's death, countering that the pop icon injected himself with propofol from a syringe while the doctor wasn't looking.</P><P>"If a forensic examination of the residue in Exhibit 30 revealed no lidocaine, it would completely negate [the prosecution expert's] concluding theory ... leaving only the theory of bolus injection just prior to Jackson's death," appellate attorney Valerie Wass wrote in a filing.</P><P>This is the third time Murray's lawyers have attempted to launch an appeal on these grounds after they argued that they did not fully comprehend the need to test the residue until the testimony of a prosecution expert near the end of the seven-week trial. During the trial, judge Michael Pastor refused a motion for further analysis shortly after the verdict; a second request was also denied.</P><P>Murray, 58, received a four-year sentence but is not expected to serve more than two years in county jail.</P>

It is the never ending saga of Prince Harry and his nakedness in Las Vegas. The latest drama to unfold because of his not so smart actions is that the whole romp was caught on tape and it could soon be up for sale, wowza!
A week ago the scandalous photos of the Prince in his birthday suit were leaked onto the Net causing quite the Royal scandal. Now comes another serious blow involving that same night, it is being reported that the whole evening was caught on tape. Yep it looks like Harry could be starring in his very own movie.
RadarOnline was the first to break the story claiming that a source told them there is actual video footage of the night but what is kind of shocking to me is that it supposedly is not being shopped around yet. The website however does say that it has not actually seen the alleged video but that has not stopped this rumor from spreading like wildfire across the Internet.
I tell you what if the romp of Harry and some ladies sans clothes did actually get filmed the Palace will be none too happy. I mean as they try to fix the damage done by just the photos being leaked a video would take this scandal to a whole new level. I figured it was only a matter of time before a video surfaced or rather a rumor about a video surfaced. Let’s be serious the only thing worse than the pics is a video and whoever has their hands on the alleged footage probably knows they can get big bucks for it, which is probably why it hasn’t been shopped around yet. No doubt if there is one it will get leaked or sold or something soon.
Well my friends there you have the latest drama surrounding the Prince Harry and his bad boy ways in Las Vegas. Feel free to let me know your thoughts on this rather hot topic.

MTV News gets a behind-the-scenes look at the Cirque Du Soleil tribute to the King of Pop.
By Uptin Saiidi
<P><b>NEWARK</b> — Since its opening, <a href="/news/articles/1682347/michael-jackson-immortal-cirque.jhtml">Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour</a> by Cirque Du Soleil has honored the King of Pop through music, dance and acrobatics 117 times. Night after night, artists celebrate the life of the late Michael Jackson, but how do they take his iconic legacy and put it into a production? When the tour came to New York City this week, MTV News went behind the scenes to talk with the creative forces and performers to find out.</P><P>The artists (all 65 of them) had limited time to train and learn choreography -- an especially difficult feat when it's honoring MJ's signature moves. It was a kind of pressure that creative director Tara Young certainly learned to channel into a positive force.</P><P><CENTER><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:755805/cp~vid%3D755805%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A755805" width="430" height="242" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></CENTER></P><P>"I think it is a pressure for sure; something I share with the whole building here is that we have nothing to prove, only to share," Young told MTV News. "We have an opportunity to share what Michael would have wanted to share and the pressure is only there to achieve excellence."</P><P>For Felix Cane, a two-time world champion pole dancer who does a captivating performance to "Danger," it was all about using that pressure to help the audience to remember the pop icon. "You are sharing this passion with them, and this love of MJ. There's times in the show when some people and I, myself, might have shed a few tears."</P><P>That pressure never felt as great as when the Jackson family sat in the front row at a show in Montreal, an experience Young described as "inspiring." When asked what MJ would think if he were sitting there with them, Young smiled, "He would feel such a sense of pride of what he has given us to work with. It evokes emotions in people that they didn't even know were going to come out."</P><P>I think everyone feels inspired, which evokes a certain feeling of change," Young added. "You feel a sadness too because he is not with us anymore, and that is an emotion that is wonderful too actually ... just to honor him."</P><P>The tour will continue in North America through the summer, before heading to Europe this fall.</P><P><i>Have you seen Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour?

<P>You wouldn't peg Mary J Blige as the black-light-and-tapestry sort, but, as has become readily apparent in recent weeks, she absolutely loves Led Zeppelin.</P><P>In early February, reports began circulating that <a href="/news/articles/1631297/mary-j-blige-records-led-zeppelins-stairway-heaven.jhtml">Blige had re-recorded Zeppelin's classic "Stairway to Heaven,"</a> working with Travis Barker, "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson and guitarist Steve Vai on the track, which is slated to appear on the international reissue of her <i>Stronger With Each Tear</i> album, due Monday.</P><P></p><div style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float:left;"><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:491065" width="256" height="223" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashVars="configParams=instance%3Dnews%26vid%3D491065" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></div><p></P><P>But after she had recorded "Stairway," Blige continued to get the Led out, covering <i>another</i> Zeppelin classic — the thunderous "Whole Lotta Love" — for the album too. And when MTV News caught up with her on the <i>Essence</i> Black Women in Hollywood red carpet, she told us all about channeling her inner Robert Plant for the tracks, a process that came much easier than you'd probably imagine.</P><P>"I did Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love' — it's crazy," she said. "I am a Led Zeppelin fan. I'm not going to say I've been to their concerts, but I've listened to their music since I was a child, and it's always moved me, especially 'Stairway to Heaven,' and 'Whole Lotta Love' is just fun."</P><P>Blige also said she recorded another new song — a "club record" called "I Can't Wait" — for the re-release. And while it's only slated to hit shelves outside the U.S., she hopes her fans will get a chance to hear all the new songs pretty soon.</P><P>"I want y'all to hear it," she laughed.</P>

Wow, things just don’t seem to be going well for Kris Humphries, do they? First his marriage to reality TV star Kim Kardashian lasted a short 72 days, then he was accused of getting a former girlfriend pregnant, and now he’s being sued for sexual battery for allegedly giving a woman herpes!
According to RadarOnline Kayla Goldberg alleges that Kris gave her herpes after they met at The Newsroom Cafe in LA in August 2010 and went on to have unprotected sex at his hotel. According to a source who spoke to the website;
“Kris was recently accused by another woman of giving her Herpes, this happened within the last two months.
“Kris tested negative for it though and for any other sexually transmitted disease and he is absolutely steadfast that he has never given anyone herpes. Kris plans on vigorously fighting the lawsuit filed against him by Kayla Goldberg and is considering counter-suing her for defamation.”
Poor Kris, the guy can’t seem to catch a break! This definitely hasn’t been his year has it! What do you think? Even if it is true I would think that this was a matter that could have been settled privately instead of such a public forum.

Recently married Chad Ochocinco (now known as Chad Johnson) was arrested in Davie, FL on Saturday evening (August 11) for a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.
According to Police Cpt. Dale Engle who spoke with NFL Network, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver allegedly head butted his newlywed wife and "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada during an argument on the way home from dinner. The alleged argument left Evelyn with a "pretty good sized" laceration.
However, Johnson told police that the two accidentally bumped heads after getting into a "heated argument" over a receipt that Lozanda found in the car, which showed condom purchases.
A Dolphins spokesman says, "We are aware of the situation and are in the process of gathering all of the relevant information."
A judge has set bond for Johnson at $2,500 and ff convicted, could face a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Katy Perry had a low-key Saturday afternoon. She and some friends (no sign of John Mayer) went to the Arclight Cinema to see a movie. No word on which movie they saw. I wonder if they saw ‘The Bourne Legacy’? It doesn’t look like I’m going to make it out this weekend, but I absolutely intend to see it before it leaves theaters!
Katy was nice enough to stop and sign some autographs for fans as she left the theater. Katy then flicked off the paparazzi, but since we’re a family-friendly website, I didn’t post those pics. I guess she was sick and tired of having her picture taken. One of the downsides of being a celebrity: fame doesn’t turn “off” when they want it to, unfortunately.

Getting ready to jet out of La La Land, Eva Longoria was seen arriving at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, CA on Friday (August 10).
The “Desperate Housewives” actress looked stunning in a distressed tan sweater, white skinny jeans and fedora as she made her way into the terminal while chatting on her phone.
In related news, the 37-year-old's upcoming dating show “Ready For Love” will be premiering this winter and the brunette beauty recently opened up to iVillage the show.
When asked about finding love on the show, Miss Longoria said, “Yeah! I mean, with our format, I think so. “The Bachelor” is kind of weird because people go on that show not even knowing who the bachelor is until you show up in the limo. That’s just fundamentally odd. With that basic creative piece, our show is a little more authentic.”
In light of the new career path, the recently single starlet says dating on TV isn’t for her, explaining, “Oh, God no. I don’t think it’s a good forum for celebrities. I think then it just becomes a reality show, as opposed to these guys that we found really don’t want to be celebrities. They didn’t want to be on TV for the sake of being on TV. They really want to find love.
“Ready For Love” will premiere later this year on NBC and will be hosted by Bill and Guiliana Rancic.

Continuing to work through her weekend, Lea Michele was up bright and early to film new scenes for "Glee" in the West Village neighborhood of New York City on Saturday (August 11).
The 25-year-old star was spotted jumping around the Big Apple streets in black and white plaid shorts, v-neck sweater and knee high boots as she shot new scenes with her co-star Dean Geyer.
Seeming beyond excited to be working in the big city, the brunette beauty took to her Twitter page, writing, "SO excited for this weekend! It's been my dream to shoot #glee in NYC and now this season we'll be shooting half of Rachel's story here!" adding, "Early morning shooting #glee in NYC!!! So exciting!!!"
In other news, Miss Michele recently opened up to People magazine about how she keeps such a flawless look, saying, "I’m the girl who goes to bed at night with the face mask, the hair mask. I don’t care what I look like when I go to bed; I care about what I look like when I wake up in the morning.”
Lea also admitted that if she isn't working she prefers to have a natural face, explaining, "Maybe I’ll put on a little mascara, but other than that I try very hard to just let my skin breathe. I care more about letting my skin breathe than how I look.”

Bey reads personal letter to the first lady in a video for President Obama's re-election campaign.
By Nadeska Alexis
<P><MTVNLINK type="artist" id="1236911">Beyoncé</MTVNLINK> has never been shy about her admiration for Michelle Obama. In April, she <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/04/12/beyonce-writes-letter-michelle-obama/">dedicated a note to the first lady</a> via her website, heavy with praise, and this week, Bey delivered the message aloud, in a new <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1qpzHkA6tQ&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">video</a> that supports President Obama's re-election campaign.</P><P>"I wrote a letter to the first lady because I wanted her to know that I'm very grateful for everything she's done for our country and also for women around the world," Beyoncé says as she introduces the clip.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Beyonce Gets Back To Business, Kicks Off Summer!" id="vid:785342" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>During the brief video, the camera cuts from the singer as she begins to read the note, and a set of photos showing Mrs. Obama hard at work and hanging with her family begins to play. "Michelle is the ultimate example of a truly strong African-American," Beyoncé reads as the photos scroll by. "She is a caring mother, she's a loving wife, while at the same time she is the first lady!"</P><P>When Beyoncé originally posted the handwritten note on her site in April, the FLOTUS respond via Twitter, writing, "Thank you for the beautiful letter and for being a role model who kids everywhere can look up to."</P><P>Beyoncé cemented her relationship with Michelle Obama last year, when she teamed up with the first lady to help promote the "Let's Move!" campaign, which targeted childhood obesity. According to Obama, Bey reworked her single "Get Me Bodied" into "Move Your Body," without even being asked, and she was happy to film an accompanying video for the song.</P><P>When Beyoncé made her return to the stage over Memorial Day weekend with a series of concerts at Revel Resorts — her first since baby Blue Ivy was born — the <a href="/news/articles/1685932/beyonce-michelle-obama-atlantic-city.jhtml">first lady made a trip to Atlantic City</a> along with her two daughters to catch the show and later praised Beyoncé for her performance.</P><P>During a May interview with <i>People,</i> the <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/05/30/michelle-obama-beyonce-atlantic-city-shows/">first lady expressed just how much she liked the singer</a>.
