Michael Jackson’s doctor trial off to emotional start LOS ANGELES - Grim photos of Michael Jackson lying dead in a hospital bed juxtaposed with a picture of the Thriller singer rehearsing the day before his demise brought an emotional opening Tuesday to the manslaughter trial of the doctor hired to care for him. In opening arguments two years after Jackson’s sudden death by drug overdose, prosecutor David Walgren told jurors that the pop star “literally put his life in the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray.” But Walgren added: “That misplaced trust had far too high a price to pay. That misplaced trust in the hands of Conrad Murray cost Michael Jackson his life.” Murray has pleaded not guilty to the involuntary manslaughter of Jackson on June 25, 2009, but faces a prison sentence of up to four years if convicted. The doctor has admitted giving the 50 year-old pop star a dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol as a sleeping aid. But his attorneys are expected to argue during the four-to-six week trial that it was not a fatal dose, and that a drug-addicted Jackson somehow gave himself the additional propofol that, combined with other drugs in his system, killed him. Jackson’s parents, Joe and Katherine, his sisters, Janet and La Toya, and other family members were in court Tuesday, while outside dozens of fans outside the courtroom held sunflowers, pictures of the dead pop star, and placards saying “Justice for Michael”. Murray entered the courthouse though a side door, avoiding the media presence outside. Several people, some holding “Team Murray” placards, came to support the doctor. Jackson’s lifeless body was found at his rented Los Angeles mansion just three weeks before a series of 50 planned London comeback concerts that had been titled This Is It. Walgren opened the prosecution case by showing jurors a photo of a thin Jackson lying dead on a hospital gurney, side by side with a picture of him singing and dancing while rehearsing for the concerts one day before. Footage of the rehearsals were made into Jackson’s posthumous concert movie “This Is It” in 2009, that became a global box office hit. Jurors in the trial are expected to hear testimony from the paramedics who transported Jackson to the hospital, medical experts, Jackson’s choreographer and Murray’s girlfriends. The first prosecution witness is expected to be Kenny Ortega, the choreographer and film director who was hired to stage the London shows and who was conducting rehearsals with Jackson in Los Angeles. Celebrity attorney Mark Geragos, who once represented Jackson and has closely watched the criminal case against Murray, said that Jackson’s 13-year-old daughter, Paris, might also be called to testify in what would likely be one of the most dramatic moments of the trial. “She not only has things to say, but she can say it in a compelling way,” Geragos told Reuters. Paris Jackson was at the house when the singer stopped breathing. Geragos said he believes prosecutors could have a difficult time winning a conviction — and that a hung jury with no conviction or acquittal is more likely. “Jurors are loathe to convict doctors in this type of a situation,” Geragos said, adding that often jurors do not want to second-guess doctors. The responses of the 12-person jury to written questionnaires made public last week show that none of them reported having a negative experience with doctors.

RTE pins hopes on La Toya Jackson as 'Voice' judge RTE is in advanced negotiations with US singer La Toya Jackson to be a judge on the biggest talent show it has ever produced. 'The Voice Of Ireland' comes to Irish screens early next year after causing a sensation on US and Dutch TV. The key to the format is that the four judges sit with their backs to the contestants during auditions so they can only hear their voices. Launched in Dublin yesterday, only the main presenter Kathryn Thomas and backstage reporter Eoghan McDermott had been unveiled as part of the line-up. However, the Irish Independent has learnt that producers are in negotiations with Jackson, the sister of late singing superstar Michael Jackson, for a mentoring role. "The Jackson family are royalty when it comes to the music business. More importantly, La Toya has experience of the recording industry outside of Ireland; she has been signed to every major label. But most importantly she is a singer herself," a source said. "Even though she's based in the US, it will be possible for La Toya to complete filming because the series will be shot in phases. But she will have to spend the last couple of months in Ireland for the live show," added the insider. RTE is expected to announce the three other judges for the panel later in the autumn. Meanwhile, host Kathryn Thomas revealed yesterday she had been on holiday in Ibiza last week when she received the call from RTE saying she had won the role of main presenter on the series. "I was on the beach reading a book. There had been talk of having two main presenters but RTE told me I was doing it on my own. This is the biggest thing I have ever done. Three or four years ago I wouldn't have been ready for it, but now I am," said Thomas, who will host the live shows from The Helix in Dublin. http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?showtopic=35904

By Blackglama New York, NY, August 24, 2011 – Blackglama is pleased to announce that Janet Jackson will be the first legend to be featured for the second year consecutively in the brand’s iconic “What Becomes a Legend Most?” advertising campaign. “It became clear in our discussions of who the Legend should be this year, that continuing the momentum with Janet made complete sense,” says Joe Morelli, CEO of Blackglama. “She embodies glamour, luxury and sophistication, everything that Blackglama stands for.” Unquestionably a legend in the world of entertainment, Janet Jackson’s albums, including Control, janet, All For You and Number Ones, have sold over 100 million copies worldwide and her most recent “JANET JACKSON Number Ones; Up Close And Personal” World Tour broke box office records making her one of the best-selling female artists of all time. She is the only recording artist to have Grammy™ nominations spanning the categories Dance, Pop, Rap, Rock and R&B. Janet is also an accomplished actress, with starring roles in television and film including Poetic Justice, Nutty Professor, Why Did I Get Married?, Why Did I Get Married Too? and For Colored Girls. Last year’s campaign thrust Janet Jackson amongst some of the world’s most legendary entertainers who have starred in the popular Blackglama “What Becomes a Legend Most?” campaign. The initiative was revived by noted advertising agency Laspata DeCaro, and ads were photographed by Rocco Laspata. “The primary difference is that the initial campaigns were focused on a singular image – a legend and a coat,” says Charles DeCaro. “Our recent branding iterations have evolved imparting a distinct fashion sensibility. Multiple images showcase innovative designs and the relevant multi-faceted ways Blackglama - as a product - can be appropriated.” The first ad debuts in the September issue of W Magazine.

Five insights into the life of Ms. Jackson Janet Jackson, at 45, gets credit as a pop music innovator, a dazzling dancer, a cultural provocateur. Music aside, she'll be forever linked with a 2004 Super Bowl halftime show in which she flashed the nation and caused an uproar. Expect no wardrobe malfunctions when she performs at Portsmouth's Harbor Center amphitheater on Tuesday, Aug. 9. So much of Jackson's life has been lived in the white-hot spotlight, it may seem as if there's nothing new to discover about the youngest Jackson sibling. Yet, the closer you look, the more interesting she gets. Here are five fascinating facts about Janet Jackson (Ms. Jackson if you're nasty.) She's recently become an author. "True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself," published in February, is a self-help book, but one that describes Jackson's own issues with weight, self-esteem, self-destructive behavior and depression. "I want people to know that they're not alone," Jackson told NBC's "Dateline." "Because I want it to appeal to teenagers as well as adults. Because that's where it started. I want them to be able to open up and release and speak about it the way I have … They will find it's very liberating, it's very cathartic." Her total record sales top 100 million. Janet Jackson's chart heyday arrived in an era when people bought albums, tapes and CDs. Hit songs kept those cash registers ringing. Jackson has posted 37 hits in the top 40 of Billboard's Hot 100 chart, just one fewer than brother Michael managed in his lifetime. Her ten No. 1 hits are "When I Think of You," "Miss You Much," "Escapade," "Black Cat," "Love Will Never Do (Without You)," "That's The Way Love Goes," "Again," "Together Again," "Doesn't Really Matter," and "All For You." That list doesn't include signature songs "What Have You Done For Me Lately," "Nasty," and "Rhythm Nation" — all of which didn't quite reach the top spot. She doesn't look back fondly on "Good Times." As a 10-year-old girl, she joined the cast of the CBS sitcom playing Penny, a battered child. Jackson looks back on her time on the show as being emotionally destructive. Despite her youth, she was asked to lose weight for the role. "On my first day of work, I went to wardrobe and they bound my chest," she told recently told the Australian newspaper the Herald Sun. "I was developing early and all I remember is that I was not acceptable the way I was." The wounds didn't heal quickly. She has said that beginnings of her problems with low self-esteem can be traced back to "Good Times." Only recently did she allow herself to grieve Michael's loss. "I was in Paris, and I just spent the night just watching all his videos and listening to his music," she told NBC. "And there were moments when I felt to cry and moments that made me laugh, and it was — it was good for me. I needed it. Out of everyone in my family, I never had that moment to cry about his death … I don't know if it was a shield, trying to shield the pain or just trying to hold it all together because I saw that everyone else around me was falling apart. And never, never taking that moment to … really grieve, even at the service." She originally turned down a chance to record a duet with Michael. Jackson and her most famous brother made a big hit together with "Scream," a track that reached No. 5 in 1995. Originally, though, she balked at the idea of collaborating. "I was on the 'Rhythm Nation' tour and Mike actually asked me to do a song with him and I told him no," she said in an interview with CNN. "I didn't want to do it. I felt I hadn't come into my own and I hadn't fully made a name for myself … and I didn't want to ride anyone's coattails." By 1993, she'd changed her mind. "He asked me again if I would do a song with him. And I felt, at that point, I'd carved my own little niche in this world of music and I felt OK, I can do this now." http://www.dailypress.com/entertainment/mu...,0,841724.story

No acts set for Michael Jackson tribute at ticket sales deadline Los Angeles (CNN) -- A planned Michael Jackson tribute concert, supported by the late pop star's mother and four siblings, was in disarray Thursday amid family squabbling and the apparent failure of promoters to sign any big-name acts so far. Tickets for the show, scheduled for Cardiff, Wales, in October, were to go on sale Thursday, but instead of providing a link for purchases the promoter's website asked fans to "Please Standby for further announcements." The head of the British company promoting the concert promised last week it would "feature the world's most amazing music performers." The roster would be revealed online one act at a time over the next 10 days weeks, Global Live Events CEO Chris Hunt told reporters at a July 25 news conference. "Everybody's in the midst of signing contracts so nothing can be announced until that happens," Juliette Harris, spokeswoman for Global Live Events, told CNN late Tuesday. She suggested an announcement would come Wednesday. By Thursday, still no acts had been announced. The problems started soon after brothers Marlon, Tito and Jackie, sister La Toya and family matriarch Katherine Jackson attended the "Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert" announcement at the Beverly Hills Hotel on July 25. La Toya Jackson said it was "something that's spectacular" while the Jacksons' mother called it "a show fit for a king." "If my son were here today, he would feel the same way," Katherine Jackson said. "I know my brother would be very, very proud to see all the artists that he admired and respected so much coming together for this event," Tito Jackson said. But an hour later, Jermaine and Randy Jackson, the only brothers not at the news conference, issued a sharply worded statement that reflected a deep division within the Jackson family over the show. "We want to make clear that this does not reflect the position of the entire family," the two brothers said in a joint statement. "While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honors our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael's death." While Hunt had hinted it could include a Jackson brothers reunion, the statement from Jermaine and Randy Jackson made it clear that would not happen. "In light of this, we feel it is inappropriate to be involved with such an ill-timed event and its promoter, Global Live," Randy and Jermaine Jackson said. Their statement said the idea of the October concert was presented to the entire family in April "as an idea already in its advanced stages." The decision to go ahead with it "disrespects opinions and wishes expressed in the strongest terms" by some members of the Jackson family, they said. The Michael Jackson Fan Club agreed with the two brothers, issuing a similar statement. "We share their concerns that this concert is taking place at a most inappropriate time when everyone's care and attention should be focused on the matter of justice. We believe that, as stated by Jermaine and Randy, the most important tribute we can give to Michael Jackson at this time is to seek justice in his name." Jackson fans posted messages on the concert's Facebook page questioning ticket prices and the process for buying them. Fans must place bids for a chance to buy a ticket. The higher their pledge to a charity, the better their chances of getting a good seat. "The ticket system is so bad!! the higher you bid the better seats you get?? not every Michael fan is rich!!!" one fan posted on the "Michael Forever Tribute" Facebook page Thursday. After several days of such negative posts, a link to the Facebook page was removed from the concert's website. The October 8 show, in the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, which seats 75,000 people, would be at least four hours long, Hunt said. In addition to the other problems surrounding the event, a spokesman for Michael Jackson's estate said last week that the promoters never sought or obtained permission from the estate's executors to use late pop singer's name or image. "The estate has not been contacted and is not involved with Global Live Events in the UK tribute concert announced today," spokesman Jim Bates told CNN. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/celebr...ibute.derailed/
