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…
His name is Robert Butler (pictured here) and he went on a shooting rampage at his high school yesterday. But before doing so, he posted a chilling message on his Facebook page warning them of the attack and blaming the school for driving him to violence.
Butler, 17, burst into an office at Millard South High School in Omaha, NE, during school hours and fired four to five shots, striking the assistant principal and the principal before fleeing in his car and eventually committing suicide about a mile from the school, Omaha police said.
Assistant Principal Vicki Kaspar (L), 58, died at a hospital hours later. The principal, Curtis Case (R), 45, was reported in serious but stable condition.
No students were injured in the shooting.
Isn’t Butler (pictured above) the cutest kid? Which goes on to show you that the devil will use anyone to kill, steal and destroy!!
Butler’s friends and family were left dumbfounded by the attack and struggled to explain what drove the boy, described as fun-loving and energetic, to his gruesome end.
And not one of her over 1,000 Facebook friends reached out to her to help.
Forty-two year-old Simone Back announced her intention to commit suicide in a status update on her Facebook page.
According to the Daily Mail, Back, who committed suicide on Christmas Day, wrote in her Facebook status, “Took all my pills be dead soon bye-bye everyone.”
What followed was a series of callous posts from some of Back’s Facebook friends “Some of the Facebook friends posted messages calling her a liar and one said it was ‘her choice’.
Seventeen hours later, police broke down the door of Back’s flat on Montague Street, in Brighton, and found her dead.
Back’s mother told the Daily Mail that none of her daughter’s online friends attempted to help her in person.
Back is not the first to announce her intention to commit suicide via Facebook. In 2010, a Rutgers University student, Tyler Clementi, who posted a status update on Facebook that read “Jumping off the gw bridge sorry” and his body was found soon after in the Hudson River.
Are all of your Facebook contacts really friends?
Ted Williams, the 53-year-old homeless panhandler who was literally plucked from obscurity on the side of a highway, is now an Internet sensation. A reporter for a Columbus newspaper uploaded a video of Williams’ gifted baritone voice to YouTube which went viral, garnering over 4 million views.
The New York Post quotes Williams as exclaiming on local radio station WNCI, “The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!”
And he cried as he told CBS “Early Show” co-anchors Erica Hill and Chris Wragge:
“I’m gonna be going to New York, hopefully this afternoon… I apologize. I’m getting a little emotional. I haven’t seen my mom in a great deal of time. She doesn’t believe (what’s been happening to me). She’s 92. She lives in Brooklyn. I was born and raised in Brooklyn. … One of my biggest prayers that I sent out was that she would live long enough for me to see me rebound or whatever, and I guess God kept her around and kept my pipes around to maybe just have one more shot that I would be able to say, ‘Mom, I did do it before,’ — I might pass away before her or whatever, but my dad didn’t get a chance to see this. But God is good.”

His name is Ted Williams and he’s homeless!
Williams was soliciting money by the side of Interstate 71 in Columbus, Ohio, when a reporter from the Columbus Dispatch spotted his sign advertising his “god given gift” of a golden voice.
Williams was offered a job with a local radio station in Columbus, after a viral video he did garnered over 4 million hits on YouTube.
The reporter uploaded a video he made on his cell phone of Williams speaking, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Thanks to my Crony and loyal CEO reader “ZP” for the video. 🙂
