Michael Jackson's Home Contained A Dozen Bottles Of Propofol

The role of propofol has loomed large in Michael Jackson's sudden 2009 death, and according to an investigator, copious amounts of the surgical anesthetic were found in the superstar's home.
During the latest round of testimony at the preliminary manslaughter hearing for Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, on Friday (January 7), an investigator for the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office testified that a dozen bottles of propofol were discovered in Jackson's home, according to TMZ. One of the two bottles found in the singer's bedroom was empty, and investigators also found a slew of at least 10 other types of medication, including lorazepam, hydrocodone and lidocaine.
The mother of one of Murray's children, Nicole Alvarez, also testified and said the doctor sent several packages to her home from April to June 2009. While the packages' contents were not revealed in court, TMZ has reported that the parcels contained propofol and were sent from Murray's Las Vegas pharmacy.
Another one of Murray's girlfriends, Sade Anding, gave notable testimony. Anding said she received a five-minute phone call from Murray around 12:30 p.m., during which he abruptly stopped talking after exchanging brief small talk. Anding said she heard "coughing and voices," and the line sounded as if he had placed the phone in his pocket. However, according to phone records, the only time Murray called Anding that day was at 11:51 a.m., which would have meant that Murray waited about 25 minutes to call 911 once he recognized Jackson needed emergency assistance.
Murray has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of involuntary manslaughter, and his lawyers are reportedly planning to claim Jackson killed himself by self-administering a lethal dose of propofol.

Lady Gaga Director Loves His Short Film
Mariano Vivanco says, 'It's one of my favorite films I've done.'

Mere hours after completing the edit for the Lady Gaga/Mugler Born This Way collaboration that debuted in full Thursday (January 20), the short film's director, fashion photographer Mariano Vivanco, spoke to MTV News about the film, which not only debuts Nicola Formichetti as the line's creative director, but also gives fans a taste of a fresh Gaga song, remixed especially for Mugler.
The finished version of the track will appear on Gaga's album, to be released in May. Vivanco explained that what was supposed to be a small-scale Formichetti/Vivanco fashion video to display Mugler's new looks became a full-scale music video-like shoot once they knew Gaga would be involved — even if they didn't have the actual song until after they did most of the work.
"OK, I'll be 100 percent honest with you: We didn't get the music until after the video," Vivanco revealed. "Nicola hummed it to me and tried singing it to me. It was hilarious. And described it to me in a really articulate way. He said, 'It's techno meets Whitney Houston, in a really good way.'
"When he described that to me, I thought the best treatment to that would be to film it in slow motion 'cause I think house music with slow-moving images works," he continued. "I filmed a lot of scenes that were in my heart and in my mind."
It's hard to believe that Vivanco hadn't heard the song when he shot the eerie, moody scenes. But, he notes that a lot of the work to mesh the video and audio came in post-production.
After having a few hours to digest the dark, black-and-white art-house music video, Vivanco admitted that he loves the clip and said it was made only more special with the addition of the Gaga track.
"A short film for me is like a relationship: You have to love all the imperfections. Hell, I love the film. I think it's one of my favorite films I've done," he said. "Of course, words can't express the honor that [Gaga] would give us something so nice to work with. When I hear that song, and you hear it live like we did at the show, I'm like, 'She's done it again.' "
So, how does Gaga feel about it? "She called Nicola, and she said she loved the video," Vivanco said. "She's the queen of our times."

'Hobbit' Filming Postponed After Peter Jackson Hospitalized
Movie's director was admitted to the hospital after suffering a perforated ulcer.

Perhaps director Peter Jackson should consider tinkering with the title of his upcoming "Lord of the Rings" two-part prequel. Instead of just "The Hobbit," might we suggest "The Curse of the Hobbit" or perhaps "The Haunted Hobbit"?
The star-crossed road to filming the movies, for which Jackson is director, executive producer and screenwriter, hit another roadblock this week when the start of filming was pushed back after Jackson was hospitalized. Deadline Hollywood reported that Jackson was admitted to a hospital in Wellington, New Zealand, on Wednesday with acute stomach pains and underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer.
"Sir Peter is currently resting comfortably and his doctors expect him to make a full recovery. Sir Peter's surgery is not expected to impact on his directing commitment to 'The Hobbit' beyond a slight delay to the start of filming," read a statement from the movie's production company.
It's just the latest setback for the films, which were put in limbo for a while when studio MGM froze production while it went into bankruptcy, and then dealt another major blow last summer when director Guillermo del Toro announced he was dropping out after nearly two years of prep work. Then there was a dustup with the New Zealand actors union that almost caused the production to pick up stakes and move elsewhere.
When Jackson is ready to begin again, his cast for the 3-D prequel will be ready to go. Elijah Wood's recent deal to reprise his "Lord of the Rings" role as Frodo was accompanied by news that Andy Serkis has signed on to once again play Gollum, and it's looking like Ian McKellen is poised to reprise the part of Gandalf in what's being called "a major role" in the new films. Cate Blanchett has already signed on to play Galadriel, Christopher Lee is in talks for Saruman, and Ian Holm is in talks for the elder Bilbo Baggins, whose younger version will be played by Martin Freeman. There's no word yet if Orlando Bloom, who portrayed Legolas in "LOTR," will return for "The Hobbit."
Check out everything we've got on "The Hobbit."

Ke$ha Sued By Former Managers
DAS Communications' lawyer claims producer Dr. Luke convinced her to breach contract.
By Jocelyn Vena

Ke$ha is being sued by her former managers at DAS Communications for upwards of $14 million, Ken Freundlich, who is representing DAS in the case, confirmed to MTV News.
"DAS was Ke$ha's manager since the beginning of 2006, and there was a written agreement, and they worked closely, and sometime in September 2008 [producer] Dr. Luke, for his own personal gain, somehow induced her to breach that contract," Freundlich said. "And she unceremoniously terminated DAS without justification and then ended up with Luke, basically. So we sued Ke$ha for breach of contract and Luke for interference, and that was last year, and the defense's reaction was to try and delay us. They made motions.
"The judge denied all their motions, and now we're going forward. We're going to have our day in court," he continued. "And we're going to prove that Dr. Luke induced her to breach the contract. She had no right to do so, and we're gonna get damages from her."
Freundlich explained how he and his team came to the $14 million sum, explaining, "We don't know exactly how much, but we assume it's in that range. She's been quite successful. The case is set. It's gonna go on the rest of this year. We're gonna go straight to the trial if we have to."
Ke$ha has filed a suit in California against the management team, but Freundlich is confident nothing will come of her claim that they acted as an "illegal talent agent." "That's pending out in California. Even though that case is still pending, I don't think it has any merit," he said.
Calls to Ke$ha's legal team and rep were not returned to MTV News by press time.

Beyonce Inspired By Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill For New Album
'I'm mixing every type of genre that I love,' singer says of follow-up to I Am ... Sasha Fierce.

Recently Beyoncé revealed that she wants to make her "own genre of music" for her next album. So when MTV News caught up with the singer at the New York screening of her concert special, "I Am ... World Tour," we asked her to clarify what exactly it is that she's creating in the studio.
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm inventing a new genre," she said. "I'm mixing every type of genre that I love and I'm inspired by every type of genre."
Beyoncé went on to say that people should throw any preconceived notions about the follow-up to 2008's I Am ... Sasha Fierce out the window. "I'm not in a box," she said. "It's not R&B. It's not typically pop. It's not rock. It's just everything I love all mixed together in my own little gumbo of music."
The singer says that quite a motley crew of musicians have inspired the album. "Definitely Fela Kuti, the Stylistics. How random, right?" she laughed. "So many people ... Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder, of course, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall ... all of those things I'm kind of mixing together."
For the album, Beyoncé has been hitting the studio with many of her usual collaborators including Ne-Yo, Sean Garrett and Jim Jonsin. And her mom, Tina Knowles, has given the tracks she's heard so far her seal of approval, saying, "Of course [I heard it]. It's amazing. It's so amazing!"

Ke$ha Reflects On 'Really Intense' Breakout Year
Billboard cover girl is the magazine's Hot 100 Artist of the Year.
By James Dinh

Photo: <i>Billboard</i>
She was overlooked by the Grammys, but Ke$ha dominated radio and the charts in 2010 with her Auto-Tuned electro-pop and a distinctive "garbage chic" style that had everybody talking.
In the latest issue of Billboard, the party-girl pop star opens up about her whirlwind rise to the top, saying she has no regrets about her breakthrough year.
"Are you kidding me? I pretty much feel like I've been reborn into this completely different existence," the singer told the magazine when asked how life had changed for her. "My entire life has become making music and playing shows, and I love it. I've accepted the fact that my fans are now my family, and I won't be having boyfriends. I'll just be having a really amazing relationship with the radio."
The pop star said that although she "wasn't clueless" about what fame might bring, it far exceeded her expectations. "It's just not at all what I expected it to be like," she said. "It's really intense, more intense than I ever thought it would be."
Recalling paparazzi chasing her as she made her arrival at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, Ke$ha said, "I was having an anxiety attack, like, 'I just wrote some pop songs, man!' "
Ke$ha, who graces the mag's cover wearing a crown as she pops a bottle of champagne, also talked about her big debut single, saying, "Sometimes I need to remind myself that 'Tik Tok' only went to #1 in January, because it kind of feels like it was 17 years ago."
The mag went on to ask if "Tik Tok" was the best way to introduced herself to the public. "I don't know. We didn't really know which song to come out with first," Ke$ha said. "It was kind of a debate, because I didn't initially come out as a rapper; I've always been a singer. So having my first single classified as kind of a rap song felt bizarre to me. But now it's become something of a trademark, and it's becoming more legitimate. I've talked to some of my favorite rap artists over the past year — artists who are idols — and they've given me mad props."

Mary Harvey Speaks Out Again, Says Steve Is STILL Lying & She DOESN'T Have Access To Her Son!
Mary Harvey is still talking. After comedian and author Steve Harvey denied any of his ex-wife's accusations where she claimed he cheated on her and left her destitute, Mary took her story to HLN last night to discuss why she's speaking out years after their divorce.
Read on for video of Mary's new response where she says she still doesn't have access to her son, Wynton.
Now, let me just say this. I am (and was from the beginning) baffled on how any woman just "doesn't have access" to their own child. Neither side has admitted to a court ruling saying she cannot see her child. And unless there are drugs or abuse from the mother's end involved, how the hell doesn't she "have access" to her kid?? This all leads me to believe there is MUCH more to this story that we may never know.
But what we DO know is that Mary is standing by her story that Steve left her destitute and homeless and childless. And even though they've been divorced for over 5 years, it's not water under the bridge because she still cannot see her son. She says her son is the reason why she is now speaking out.
Mary said that she is extremely stressed out still, and she has been bullied by the Texas court system for years. And now, she wants to be heard. Peep the video above.
The ex-Mrs. Harvey also granted an interview to "Extra," but it is unclear when it will air. An article with excerpts from the interview was up on "Extra"'s site earlier this morning, but seems to have since been removed. Hmmm....

Michael Jackson Doctor Ordered Hundreds Of Bottles Of Propofol
Also during the preliminary hearing Monday, judge rules that evidence from Dr. Conrad Murray's phone can be used.
By Gil Kaufman

One thing became clear during testimony in the preliminary hearing of Dr. Conrad Murray on Monday (January 10) in Los Angeles: The cardiologist ordered a lot of the powerful anesthetic propofol in the months before his client Michael Jackson's death.
Los Angeles County Coroner's officials determined that the pop star died of a lethal dose of the surgical anesthetic in June 2009. Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, has admitted that he administered propofol to the singer in the hours before Jackson's passing.
And while Murray's lawyers have said that their client did not do anything that "should have" caused Jackson's death and may be preparing a defense in which they will claim that it was Jackson himself that administered the fatal dose, during continuing testimony in the second week of Murray's pretrial hearing on involuntary manslaughter charges, it became clear that there was plenty of propofol around.
According to TMZ, pharmacist Tim Lopez of Las Vegas Applied Pharmacy Services — Murray has offices and a home in Las Vegas — testified that Murray ordered more than 250 vials of propofol in the two months before Jackson's death. The drug is intended for use in a clinical setting during surgery where equipment is on hand to monitor blood pressure and oxygen levels.
Investigators executed search warrants on Murray's Las Vegas home and office, as well as Applied Pharmacy, in summer 2009 in search of evidence connected to an investigation into Jackson's death. The coroner's investigation reported that 12 vials of propofol were found in the bedroom and closet of Jackson's rented mansion after his death, and last week, one of the singer's bodyguards testified that in the moments before a 911 call was placed, Murray asked him to help put medical evidence in a bag, including vials that appeared to contain a milky substance that resembled propofol.
Jackson, a chronic insomniac, allegedly used propofol as a sleep aid, and according to Lopez's testimony, from the time Murray came onboard as Jackson's physician in April until the singer's death, the doctor ordered 130 vials of propofol in 100-millileter doses and another 125 in 20-millileter vials, as well as more than 40 vials of the sedative Versed and the anti-anxiety drug Ativan, which, like the propofol, was sent to Murray's girlfriend's home in Santa Monica, California, where he was staying while caring for Jackson. According to The Associated Press, Murray told Lopez the Santa Monica address was for one of the doctor's clinics.
Also on Monday, the judge in the case, Michael Pastor, ruled that recently obtained data from Murray's iPhone can be admitted as evidence in the case. The evidence reportedly includes a handful of voicemails and 12 screenshots.
The AP reported that a retired federal investigator testified on Monday that he retrieved e-mail from Murray's cell phone that included an exchange between the doctor and a London insurance broker who was handling the policy for Jackson's planned series of "This Is It" comeback shows. On the morning of Jackson's death, the broker asked Murray to respond to reports that the 50-year-old singer was in poor health. "As far as the statements of his health published by the press, let me say they're all malicious to the best of my knowledge," Murray replied.
So far, prosecutors have used phone records and testimony from police and Murray's current and former girlfriends to create a timeline that shows that the doctor was on the phone throughout the morning of Jackson's death, including the time after he administered the last of several doses that morning of propofol to the pop star. Previous testimony has focused on Murray's botched attempts to deliver CPR to Jackson, the delay in calling 911 and the belief by paramedics that the "Thriller" singer was already dead when they transported him to a local hospital.
The preliminary hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to bring Murray to trial is expected to last around two weeks. Murray has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of involuntary manslaughter, which could land him in prison for up to four years.

Beyonce, Leonardo DiCaprio Lead Flurry Of Movie Remakes
Russell Brand, Willow Smith, Jonah Hill are just a few stars looking to revamp film and TV classics like 'Arthur', 'Annie' and '21 Jump Street.'

What do Willow Smith and Beyoncé have in common with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill and Kenny Wormald? They're all starring (or in talks to star) in the latest round of remakes of beloved films and TV shows coming down the pike.
On Thursday, news broke that Beyoncé would be starring in a Clint Eastwood-directed remake of the 1976 Barbra Streisand classic "A Star Is Born" (which was a remake of a 1954 movie that remade a 1937 film). In the meantime, Will Smith is reportedly petitioning Sony to remake "Annie" (the 1982 movie and 1977 musical) starring his 10-year-old daughter, Willow, best known for whipping her hair.
In October it was announced that Leonardo DiCaprio and best bud Tobey Maguire would be starring in Baz Luhrmann's 3-D retelling of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby," with Carey Mulligan joining as Daisy Buchanan.
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum have been working on bringing the '80s Johnny Depp-starring television series "21 Jump Street" to the big screen since 2008, and they might even get Depp to cameo in it in time for the film's March 16, 2012, release date.
And let's not forget the long hunt for a Ren McCormack (the character Kevin Bacon made famous in 1984), after Zac Efron and Chace Crawford dropped out of the planned "Footloose" remake that finally landed dancer Kenny Wormald the role of his life.
Then there's "Arthur," the Russell Brand-starring remake of the 1981 screwball comedy about a happily drunk millionaire who risks everything for love. The film has tapped everyone from Helen Mirren to Greta Gerwig and Nick Nolte.
Two recently announced remakes are "Lethal Weapon" and "The Wizard of Oz," which are still in early development and without stars attached. Warner Bros. announced their plans to reboot the Mel Gibson-starring franchise on Thursday and tapped writer Will Beall to pen the script with completely new characters. And director Robert Zemeckis announced back in November that he planned on remaking the 1939 Technicolor classic using the script from the original film, with Warner Bros. hoping Robert Downey Jr. will play Oz.
Just this past year, films from "Clash of the Titans" to "The Karate Kid" to "A Nightmare on Elm Street" were remade for the big screen and were well-received by audiences. "Alice in Wonderland" and "Clash of the Titans" went on to become two of the top 10 highest-grossing films of 2010, while "Piranha 3D" and "The A-Team" also went on to strong successes, proving that there definitely is a market for these kinds of remakes.

'Social Network,' 'King's Speech,' 'True Grit' Lead Oscar Nominations
'The King's Speech' leads the pack with 12 nominations.

When the nominees for the 83rd annual Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday morning (January 25), "The King's Speech" came out on top with a field-leading 12 nominations. The critically acclaimed story of Queen Elizabeth II's stuttering father was trailed by the remake of the western "True Grit," which locked up 10 nods, followed by "The Social Network" and "Inception," which each racked up eight nominations.
In one of the most lauded performances of the year, Natalie Portman lead the roster of Best Actress nominees for her role as a conflicted ballerina in "Black Swan," in a category in which she'll face off against Annette Benning ("The Kids are All Right"), Nicole Kidman ("Rabbit Hole"), Jennifer Lawrence ("Winter's Bone") and Michelle Williams ("Blue Valentine"). In all, the thriller "Swan" received five nominations.
The Best Actor race will pit another early favorite, Colin Firth of "The King's Speech," against Javier Bardem ("Biutiful"), last year's winner, Jeff Bridges ("True Grit"), Jesse Eisenberg ("The Social Network"), and one of the show's co-hosts, James Franco ("127 Hours").
Going into Tuesday's nominations, the Facebook story "The Social Network" appeared to have an edge thanks to a Best Drama win at the recent Golden Globes and a number of top awards from critics groups. But considering the love the Academy has for triumph-over-adversity stories such as the one told in "The King's Speech," it's possible the story of stammering royalty could prevail, especially since it pulled off a major upset over the weekend by winning the top prize at the Producers Guild of America Awards, whose winner often goes on to snag the Best Picture prize at the Oscars.
Best Supporting Actress nominees include Amy Adams ("The Fighter"), Helena Bonham Carter ("The King's Speech"), Melissa Leo ("The Fighter"), newcomer Hailee Steinfeld ("True Grit") and Jacki Weaver ("The Animal Kingdom"). Though a win is unlikely, the nomination for 14-year-old Steinfeld in her first movie role could mean big things in the future for the previously unknown eighth grader, who won the role over 15,000 girls who auditioned.
In the Supporting Actor category, it will be a battle between Christian Bale ("The Fighter"), John Hawkes ("Winter's Bone"), Jeremy Renner ("The Town"), Mark Ruffalo ("The Kids are All Right") and previous winner Geoffrey Rush ("The King's Speech"). Bale's nomination is one of seven for the boxing drama, which did not earn an acting nomination for lead Mark Wahlberg, who had to settle for a nod as one of the film's producers.
For the second year there are 10 movies contending for the Best Picture prize, a roster that is doubled from the previous selection of five films. Best Pictures nominees include: "Black Swan," "The Fighter," "Inception," "The Kids Are All Right," "The King's Speech," "127 Hours," "The Social Network," "Toy Story 3," "True Grit" and "Winter's Bone."
For Best Director it will be Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan") up against David O' Russell ("The Fighter"), Tom Hooper ("The King's Speech"), David Fincher ("The Social Network"), and Joel Coen and Ethan Coen ("True Grit").
Box-office smash and mind-bending adventure "Inception" didn't earn any acting awards, but it did pick up a raft of nominations in technical categories, including Art Direction, Cinematography, Original Score, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Visual Effects and Original Screenplay. Another box-office giant, Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland," was shut out of the acting race but racked up several technical nods, including Art Direction, Costume Design and Visual Effects.
Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor and partner Atticus Ross were nominated for Original Score for their haunting music for "The Social Network," and "Tron: Legacy" picked up one nod for Achievement in Sound Editing.

TIDBITS FROM THE WEEKEND: Usher, Terrence Howard & Wife, & Bobby Brown
HDTV cable network chairman Mark Cuban has announced that Usher will entertain guests at his Superbowl party. Get the deets inside plus read how Terrence Howard celebrated his one-year anniversary with his wife and what Bobby Brown said after the death of his mother.
Mark Cuban, who owns the Dallas Mavericks and Landmark Theatres, announced via twitter that guests lucky enough to attend his Superbowl party in Dallas will be entertained by superstar Usher.
Here's his Tweet:
Usher is headlining my party w HDNet and Directv superbowl Saturday ! Stay tuned for more info..
I bet Usher, spotted in Cannes wearing Grey Ant black “Status” sunglasses, is making at least a million dollars off this gig. Hmmm...to have your favorite celeb entertain you and your friends in the comfort of your own home....must be nice.
And over at the Sundance Film Festival,
Terrence Howard celebrated his first year of marriage to Michelle Ghent-Howard by making her a home-cooked meal on the first day of Sundance. To a group of guests at the cast dinner for Terrence's latest movie, The Ledge, Michelle said:
"He made me dinner here. I arrived last night late, and he arrived during the day, and I got to our condo and he had made a nice dinner [and bought] flowers."
Terrence could have used the film's promotion as an excuse to forget the anniversary, but he didn't. Gold star for him.
And sadly, Bobby Brown lost his mother this weekend:
Carole Brown, the mother of Bobby Brown, passed away on last Thursday in Los Angeles at the age of 69. Her cause of death was not reported.
Bobby, who described his mother as his “rock,” said in a statement:
“It is a sad time for me right now. I am experiencing a tremendous loss but I vow to celebrate her life in every way that I can with my entire family, including my fiancé Alicia and my children Bobbi Kristina, LaPrincia, Bobby Jr and Cassius.”
The family will hold a private funeral in Boston.
