Let's just grab the bull by the horns today and talk about the whole MJ homicide thing. Dr. Conrad Murray's story is definitely fishy, and toxicology tests don't lie. There are cell phone records, and a prescription paper trail. This isn't some podunk little event taking place in a small town with a Mayberry police force, this is freaking Michael Jackson's death in L.A. 'Fess up, Dr. Murray, about what really happened, because you are not going to get a moment's peace until you do.
And while we're on the Jackson subject, I really think the Jackson brothers deserve a beat down for going ahead with their reality series scheduled to air on A&E network. Apparently, a reality show was in the works from May showing the brothers preparing for a reunion tour. No word on whether any footage of Michael was filmed for the show, but come on. It's really sad when family members want to capitalize on the man's death. As for the tribute concert in Vienna (of all places) on September 26, I think I'll skip it.
Chris Brown was sentenced to 5 years probation and 180 days of physical labor in his home state of Virginia for the assault on Rihanna back in February. According to court documents, he had previously shoved her against a wall and broke windows in a car they were riding in on two separate occasions, showing he has a history of violence against her. During the incident he was sentenced for, he also threatened to kill her. I can't claim to be a fan of his, even before all this, but if I was, I would have to seriously reconsider it. Everyone loves a bad boy, but the image of a bad boy, not the actual real thing.
And finally, another music legend has passed away. Ellie Greenwich, the prolific songwriter of 60s hits such as "Be My Baby" and "Leader of the Pack," has died. Greenwich, with co-writer Jeff Barry and producer Phil Spector, created some incredible songs that stood up to the test of time. I dare you not to spend the rest of the day humming "Da Doo Run Run."
