Janet Jackson joined her family today at a Los Angeles courthouse for day two of the preliminary hearing of Dr Conrad Murray – the physician charged with the manslaughter of her brother Michael Jackson.
Dr. Murray’s team will argue that, Michael Jackson injected himself with the deadly dose of propofol when Dr. Murray left the room. One of Michael Jackson’s bodyguards testified and somewhat rebutted such a theory.
Stay tuned as this continuing saga unfolds…
The talk show host was detained at a Milwaukee airport for having a marijuana pipe in his possession.
Wisconsin authorities say former talk show host and medical marijuana activist Montel Williams has been cited for possession of drug paraphernalia at the General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee.
Montel Williams paid the $484 citation and was released to continue his travel.
The Milwaukee County sheriff’s office says the Transportation Security Administration found Williams had a pipe commonly used for marijuana as he passed through a security checkpoint Tuesday.
Williams said he uses marijuana to relieve chronic pain caused by multiple sclerosis that he was diagnosed with in 1999. The 54-year-old has since became an activist pushing for medical marijuana laws after being stopped at a Detroit airport years ago for carrying drug paraphernalia.
Thanks to my mom for the story tip. 🙂
For sexy actress Vivica A. Fox, who got engaged over the holidays to her 27-year-old concert promoter boyfriend, Omar “Slim” White asked for Vivica’s hand in marriage with an eight-karat rock while the two were staying at the Ritz Carlton hotel on Miami Beach.
Although Vivica’s rep has confirmed the engagement, she has not commented directly to the media as of yet.
Fox told ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ in December that she and Atlanta native White are hoping to have a baby in 2011 and that she “waited on God to send her a good man, and he’s a good Southern man.”
Yeah there’s nothing like those southern men!!! Their minds are usually made up concerning marriage and quick!!
The actress, whose films include ‘Kill Bill: Vol. 1’ and ‘Juwanna Mann,’ also made headlines in 2003 for dating rapper 50 Cent.
