As Dr. Conrad Murray was arraigned on charges of involuntary manslaughter for the murder of Michael Jackson, the family of the King of Pop are furious that he was not brought up on harsher charges.
"He's a monster," said Michael's mother, Katherine.
"This charge is a slap on the wrist," said Joe's attorney, Brian Oxman. "There's great disappointment here. [Conrad Murray] should've been charged with a higher degree of responsibility. What he did was reckless. It was a disregard for human life."
And they are all on the same page, which is rare for the Jackson clan.
“Michael was murdered and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was a part of a much larger plan," said LaToya Jackson. "There are other individuals involved and I will not rest and I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served."
With Kiefer Sutherland completely on-board as star, exec producer, and contributor to the script, the flick is ready to head into some key preliminary stages. The movie will find the nation's favorite counter terrorist unit officer heading to Europe to deal with the bad guys.
The only thing that could be standing in the way of the show making the move to a feature franchise is the TV show itself. If a ninth season of the show comes through, than the movie will have to take a back seat.
The buzz around the movie has begun. Start your clocks, 24 fans!
Boys Like Girls frontman Martin Johnson has a little crush on Taylor Swift. (Who doesn't really?)
When asked about what he likes about his duet partner on thei new song, Two is Better Than One, Martin said:
"Taylor Swift is the perfect human being. She’s great. She’s such a nice, wholehearted, sweet girl, and she’s the biggest superstar in the world. My mom would be stoked if I brought her home.”
We don't need to tell you about 'Nye's diva tendencies!
And he was in full force a few weeks ago in NYC! According the Star Magazine, Kanye West took his lady Amber Rose to Phillipe and became so furious that the order took longer than 30 minutes, that he walked out - without paying!
"They had been waiting for their food for half an hour and were sick of it," claims a source.
If only his reading skills were up to par, he could have avoided this mess in the first place. Douche ordered the Peking Duck and it states on the menu that it takes 45 minutes to prepare.
Warner Bros. has some pretty high hopes for their new Garry Marshall comedy Valentine's Day. The movie hasn't even opened yet and the studio is already filtering money into a sequel.
Sources say that screenwriter Katherine Fugate, who penned Valentine's Day, has already turned in a draft for New Year's Eve, the follow-up to the mega-star studded flick. New Year's Eve will again have Garry Marshall at the helm and also bring back a majority of the Valentine's Day characters.
Depending on how well VDay does this weekend, there might be no end to the holiday-focused flick franchise! After New Year's Ever could be St. Patricks Day!
Then Labor Day! Then Halloween! (No, they did that one already.)

Usher's latest CD was scheduled for release yesterday on Super Bowl Sunday, but it has now been pushed back to March 30!
Jive Records is refusing to release the new album until the singer signs with new management. His former manager AND mother Jonetta Patton are effing done professionally since late November 2009. Says a source:
"She walked away from the project because Usher had his girlfriend [and former Def Jam executive] Grace Miguel all in the mix. She [Jonetta] felt as though if she didn't end things when she did, it would permanently afec their personal relationship."
Sounds like Usher's mama has territorial issues with the other women in his life! Remember how ugly it got with his ex-wife Tameka?!
Usher's first single from his new album "Papers" hit the radio last September but it peaked at Number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. Not his best.
Things could be looking up soon though because it's rumored that he is going to sign with AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips — Usher was at Phillips' table at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party.
Selena Gomez paid mad props to one who came before her, the late, great Selena, by covering her track, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom!, last night at the San Antonio Rodeo!!

And do our eyes deceive us?? Is that Nick Jonas watching from the side stage?? Curious, very curious indeed!!
