LOS ANGELES -  Conrad Murray was found guilty of murdering Michael Jackson.  He will receive the death penalty.

This is it.   A jury found Conrad Murray guilty of the murder of Michael Jackson, who died on June 25th, 2009.

The jury was unanimous and Judge Stanley Wilkinson immediately ordered Conrad Murray to be taken into custody and put on Death Row.   He will be executed – by lethal injection.

The Jackson Family was ecstatic.  Some even saw Michael Jackson, himself, outside the courthouse, giving fans a peace sign.

Conrad Murray, of course, was stunned by the verdict and vowed to appeal.  Casey Anthony was in the courthouse offering her support.

Murray is not a popular doctor.  The crowd outside the courthouse was cheering and hollering and clapping and singing.  Occupy LA came by and handed out joints to everybody.

Some of those outside the courthouse wanted blood, “I want to get my hands on Murray myself, he took away the King of Pop,” said Darius Mulvahill of Oakland, CA.

Others outside the courthouse think that maybe Murray is a serial killer.  “I think he had something to do with the death of Amy Winehouse and probably with Kurt Cobain, too.  I don’t like this doctor at all,” said Maria Consuela of Ahlambra, CA.   “He’s a bad, bad man.”

It’s been over two years since Michael left us… but his music will go on forever.

LOS ANGELES -  It was the first day of Dr. Conrad Murrays’ manslaughter trail and who was spotted outside – Michael Jackson!

There have been persistent rumors since Michael Jackson’s death in 2009, that he is NOT dead, but rather that he disappeared to an island in the Caribbean or to a suburb in New Jersey.

A number of people who attended the trial today said they saw MJ outside the courthouse AND inside.

“He was definitely here,” said Moira McMahon, a dear friend of Michael Jackson.  “We saw him walk in behind his family.  It was definitely him.”

“He’s not dead.  I’ve seen him about a dozen times in L.A. since 2009.  He’s either a ghost or there’s something funny going on,” said Donnie McCreary of Bellflower.

“I saw Michael.  No doubt about it,” said Cassandra Wilkins of West L.A.

The highly-publicized trial against late pop icon Michael Jackson’s personal physician Conrad Murray opened Tuesday in Los Angeles, with prosecutors and defense attorneys fought with each other and came up with a large number of testimonies and evidences.

A seven-men and five-women jury which was sworn in last Friday heard the case while a prosecutor, in his opening statement, accused Murray for acting with negligence and incompetence while caring for Jackson, 50, by ignoring all standards of medical care while giving the singer heavy doses of a powerful sedative that killed him.

Deputy District Attorney David Walgren told the panel that evidence would show Murray, a cardiologist who was hired by Jackson for 150,000 U.S. dollars a month to care for him, “repeatedly acted with gross negligence, repeatedly denied care, appropriate care to his patient,Michael Jackson, and that it was Dr. Murray’s repeated incompetence and unskilled acts that led to Mr. Jackson’s death on June 25, 2009.”

To illustrate his case, Walgren showed a picture of what appears to be Michael Jackson’s lifeless body on a gurney.

Jackson, 50, was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. on June 25, 2009 at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. The coroner’s office determined that Jackson died of acute Propofol intoxication and classified his death as a homicide.

Murray, 58, who is free on 75,000-dollar bail, faces up to four years in prison if convicted of the involuntary manslaughter charge.

According to Walgren, at around 5 a.m. on the day when Jackson died, the King of Pop told Murray that he needed to sleep and they agreed Propofol was the answer. Murray said he gave the singer 25 milligrams of the potent drug, but that would only put him to sleep for minutes.

Much more Propofol was administered, prosecution alleged.

Murray sent e-mails and made eight phone calls after administering the drug on Jackson for about 45 minutes. The last call was made at 11:51 to a girlfriend when Murray realized there was an emergency.

When paramedics arrived at the scene, the singer was dead. However, Murray never told the EMTs he had gave the pop singer Propofol, although they asked if Jackon had had any drugs.

At the insistence by Murray, Jackson’s body was transferred to UCLA, where Murray once again failed to mention the drug.

Walgren told jurors that between April 6 and June 10, 2009, Murray ordered 255 vials of Propofol, totaling 4.09 gallons of the “general anesthetic agent.”

Murray and his teams of defense attorneys contended that Jackson swallowed Lorazepam pills and gave himself a lethal dose of Propofol while Murray was out of the pop icon’s bedroom.

Defense attorney Edward Chernoff contended that Murray agreed to administer a small amount of Propofol, then monitored Jackson’s pulse and breathing before leaving the singer’s bedroom.

After he left, however, a frustrated Jackson woke up and swallowed Lorazepam pills, then somehow gave himself the fatal dose of Propofol, Chernoff claimed.

“The evidence will show you … that when Dr. Murray left the room, Michael Jackson self-administered a dose of Propofol that, with the Lorazepam, created a perfect storm in his body that killed him instantly,” Chernoff said. “When Dr. Murray came into the room and found Michael Jackson, there was no CPR, there was no doctor, no paramedic, no machine that was going to revive Michael Jackson.

“He died so rapidly, so instantly, he didn’t even have time to close his eyes.”

The attorney insisted that Murray was weaning Jackson off Propofol, a drug the singer told the doctor he had been taking for years — calling it his “milk” that he could not sleep without. He had been unable to sleep for 10 hours before Murray administered Propofol on him.

As the prosecution’s first witness, Kenny Ortega — the creator and co-director of the ill-fated “This Is It” concert series — testified that Jackson was “completely” involved in the process of preparing for the London concerts.

According to him, Jackson, although “very excited “about the London show, missed several rehearsals in late June, shortly before his death. He noticed that the singer wasn’t right on June 19, six days before his death, as the singer seemed lost and was “incoherent.”

Ortega was confronted by Murray during a meeting between Jackson, his doctor, Phillips and Jackson’s manager at the singer’s rented home the following day. Murray told him he was upset Ortega didn’t let him rehearse, berating him for acting like a doctor.

Fans from around the world are now headed for the trial – now that there have been multiple sightings of the King of Pop.

EL HUECU, ARGENTINA – An eagle carried away a screaming baby boy!

Incredibly, the 2-year-old child was found four miles from his playground.  He survived with only minor injuries and was found in the eagle’s nest.

“The found the little guy among the boulders, miraculously unhurt,” said photojournalist Hector de Varas, who was taking pictures of his son, Sebastian, on a playground when the eagle swooped down and grabbed him.

They think the eagle either dropped him as it was bringing into the nest or let him go because it was confused by his clothing and his scent. Without a doubt this was the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen.

“The baby was crawling in the grass near a playground when suddenly the big eagle just swooped down out of nowhere.

“There was no way I could reach him in time.  By the time I took my first step toward him, he was gone.”

De Varas says he was visiting his in-laws near El Huecu, Argentina, when he decided to stop at a nearby park and let Sebastian pla.

The baby was in his camera lens when it was suddenly attacked by the eagle, lifted into the air and carried off.

“I tracked the bird as long as I could in my camera lens, snapping a few pictures so we could tell where he was taking Sebastian,” de Varas said.

“Luckily he was spotted four miles away by some goat herders who saw the bird swoop toward earth and then fly off seconds later without his ‘catch.’

“The herders went to see what the eagle had abandoned and found little Sebastian bruised and crying, but otherwise  all right.”

Experts say the eagle has been known to attack and carry away large animals, like sloths, but has never been known to attack and carry off a human being.

This bizarre incident is believed to be the first of its kind in Argentina – or anywhere.

Some scientists blame the eagle’s odd behavior on Climate Change.

On the second anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death he was spotted in Ohio with Liz Taylor and Marlon Brando.

The ghosts of Michael Jackson, Marlon Brando and Liz Taylor were spotted today in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey  – on the second anniversary of Michael’s death.   The sighting was confirmed by the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

The three dead superstars hopped into a rented a car and headed West – hoping to make it to Los Angeles by dusk (they can travel much faster when dead).

The rotund and still brooding Brando — will be splitting the driving duties with Jackson.  Brando was annoyed that Jackson and Taylor want to stop at every KFC and Burger King they pass – and old tradition with the three superstars.

The trio will be stopping in Ohio to visit some of Michael’s friends at the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame and then they will also stop in Gary, Indiana (Michael’s birthplace).

New Jersey Housewife, Caroline Manzo, who lives in Franklin Lakes, said she and the other Housewives had a little Italian breakfast for the three.  “We played the music for the Godfather and Brando’s ghost really seemed to enjoy it.”

In death, Michael still sings and dances as good as ever.  “I think he’s even better now said Teresa Guidice.”

Here was Michael’s rare tribute to Liz:

And some classic Michael on his second anniversary.  Still the King….

Oscar winning actress Elizabeth Taylor died today at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Hospital. She was 79.

“She was surrounded by her children: Michael Wilding, Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd, and Maria Burton,” Taylor’s publicist, Sally Morrison, said in a statement.

In the same statement, Michael Wilding, 58, memorialized his mother:

“My Mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love,” he said. “Though her loss is devastating to those of us who held her so close and so dear, we will always be inspired by her enduring contribution to our world. Her remarkable body of work in film, her ongoing success as a businesswoman, and her brave and relentless advocacy in the fight against HIV/AIDS, all make us all incredibly proud of what she accomplished. We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts.”

In addition to her children, Taylor is survived by 10 grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Morrison said that a private family funeral will be held later this week. In lieu of flowers, the family asked that contributions be made to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation and said that those wanting to send personal messages can log on to Taylor’s official Facebook page.

Taylor, a two-time Academy Award-winning actress who became notorious for her seven marriages and sometimes eccentric behavior, had reported health problems in recent years and appeared frail in public appearances. Six weeks ago, she was hospitalized with congestive heart failure. Though she had recently suffered a number of complications, her condition had stabilized and it was hoped that she would be able to return home.

Taylor reported in October 2009 that she was having a heart procedure done. Via Twitter, she said it was “very new and involves repairing my leaky valve using a clip device, without open heart surgery so that my heart will function better.”

The actress’ past health setbacks included a fall from a horse during one of her early film shoots, bouts with pneumonia and skin cancer, a tracheotomy, treatment for alcohol and painkiller addictions, and lung, hip, brain and heart surgeries. She has had anywhere from 30 to 40 surgeries, according to biographers.

She’s iconic for being one of the most popular actresses of Hollywood’s golden age. Born in London in 1932 to American parents who returned to the U.S. with World War II looming, Taylor bounded into the spotlight at age 12 after starring in the 1944 box office sensation “National Velvet.” She won acclaim as an adult with 1951′s “A Place In The Sun” and went on to score best actress Oscar nominations for “Raintree County,” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” and “Suddenly, Last Summer.”

In 1963, she memorably starred in “Cleopatra.” She later won Oscars for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “BUtterfield 8.”

Beyond acting, Taylor is credited with bringing the world’s attention to AIDS with her fund-raising and activism. In 1985, when Taylor’s lifelong friend Rock Hudson died of AIDS, she brought national attention to the growing disease. It was satisfying to her to use her celebrity for good. She raised and donated millions to the cause, founding the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) and The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

“I don’t think President Bush is doing anything at all about AIDS. In fact, I’m not sure he even knows how to spell AIDS,” Taylor said once, frustrated with President Bush’s efforts to address the crisis.
She cultivated friendships with men who stayed away from the public’s gaze and met a tragic end. In addition to Hudson, she kept actor Montgomery Clift as a confidant and was fiercely loyal to pop icon Michael Jackson when he was accused of child molestation. Taylor served as a godmother to two of Jackson’s children, Paris Jackson and Prince Michael.

She was also an entrepreneur, spearheading a successful line of perfume and multiple jewelry lines. In 1999, Taylor was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
Taylor’s last major interview appeared in the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar. In it, she dished to reality TV star Kim Kardashian about her love life, her iconic roles and her jewels.

“I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands,” Taylor said. “I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course, I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things.”

Taylor also mused about one of her former husbands, actor Richard Burton.

“It was inevitable that we would be married again, but it’s not up for discussion,” she said.

Here’s one video tribute:

NEW YORK, NY – 50 Cent announced today that he is going on tour with Keenan Cahill.

For those of you who have being living under a rock for the past few months, Keenan Cahill is one of the few, the proud, the Youtube superstars. 16 year old Keenan’s rise to fame came as a result of his desire to video himself lip-synching various pop songs and posting them on Youtube under the handle, BeenerKeeKee19952.

Keenan has now built up an enormous roster of songs, lip-synching hits such as Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Lady Gaga’s Telephone, Jersey Shore’s very own DJ Pauly D’s Beat Dat Beat, and just recently Landry Fields and Andy Rautins of the New York Knicks teamed up with Keenan to perform a “GO NY GO” remix. Like most Youtube postings, it started off as a hobby.

Then Keenan’s world turned upside down when Katy Perry became aware of his rendition of her smash hit Teenage Dream, tweeting “I heart you @KeenanCahill” and further tweeting “THIS… is my Teenage Dream.” Perry linked Keenan’s video to the tweet and well, the rest is history.

Since Katy took notice, Keenan has appeared on Chelsea Lately and at the end of last year Keenan made a game changing video, lip-synching 50 Cent’s Down On Me with a special guest appearance form none other than the superstar himself, 50 Cent. The video to date has garnered over 24 million views in its short life online.

Word on the street is that 50 was so impressed with Keenan’s moves and charm that he has requested that the young internet sensation accompany him on an upcoming tour, that is, as long as Keenan’s mom gives her approval.

The tour will be in support of 50’s long awaited 5th studio album, Black Magic, which is slated to be released this summer. It should come as little surprise that 50 would consider including Keenan on the tour.

Recently, when asked about the new album, 50 stated, “I’m not sure if I’ll make a full mixtape [beforehand]. That’s what I was doing when I was making collaborations with new artists: I was working with artists that wouldn’t exactly be my equal because they don’t have a successful track record. But at some point you have to make the decision to just be an artist and work because you enjoy the music and you think it’s a good idea, as opposed to it being someone of your caliber.”

Who knows, maybe Keenan will even be a featured artist in one of his new songs. One thing’s for sure, he is bound to be in a video.

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL – Photos from International Space Station reveal undeniable evidence that Michael is not dead – he’s living on the moon!

Last week, crew members aboard the space station radioed Mission Control after they spotted what they described as a “strange, effeminate man-child in a sequin jacket” doing leg kicks on the surface of the moon.

“They wanted to know if they could take pictures of thing,” said NASA engineer Mark Mallowry. “We thought it was probably just some space dust, so we told them to take as many pictures as they wanted.”

But when the photos arrived at NASA headquarters in Houston, Texas, Mallowry and his colleagues were shocked at what they saw.

“I could not believe what I was looking at,” Mallowry said. “There, right in front of my eyes, was Michael Jackson! On the surface of the moon!”

The photos depict an aged Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk outside of a lunar space module. Also visible in the photograph is Michael’s chimpanzee friend, Bubbles.

“This is a mind-blowing discovery,” said Mark Housman, Director of NASA’s Lunar Imaging Department. “I had a hunch that Michael Jackson wasn’t really dead, and it makes sense that he’s living on the moon. He was just too weird for this planet.”

This startling evidence refutes claims long-held views that the King of Pop died of a drug overdose in 2009, or that he is living on a secluded island with Elvis, Tupac, and Biggie Smalls.

Some of Michael’s friends and family were overjoyed upon hearing the news.

“I knew the MJ wasn’t dead,” said Chris Tucker, an actor and lifelong friend of Michael Jackson. “It makes me so happy knowing that my best buddy is up there on the moon, just doing what he does best where no one can bother him.”

Others were convinced that the pictures were hoax, released by NASA as a promotional stunt for Jackson’s latest album, Michael, which was produced and edited by Quincy Jones.

But Jones was quick to defend himself against the accusations.

“Michael and I have been working on this album for a long time,” said Jones in a phone interview. “He would send me tracks from his house on the moon, and I would edit them here on earth.”

“And believe me,” he added. “I am not making this up. After all, this is Michael Jackson we’re talking about – he’s done much, much weirder.”

The new Michael Jackson song, BREAKING NEWS, was released today!

Is it real?  Is it fake?

Michael Jackson’s new song, “BREAKING NEWS,” was released today.  The song is a tough look through Michael’s eyes at the media. In essence, he is saying … “You’ve treated me bad and you’ve hope for my demise, but I’m back!”

Some of the lyrics:

“They want to see that I fall,
cause I’m Michael Jackson.
You write the words to destroy
like it’s a weapon.”

In another part of the song, Jackson sings:

Everybody wanting a piece of Michael Jackson.
Reporters stalking the moves of Michael Jackson.
Just when you thought he was done,
he comes to give it again.

The song is vintage Jackson – with a strong beat and  all sorts of MJ trademarks throughout.

The song was recorded at the Franklin Lakes, New Jersey home of music producer Eddie Cascio, when Michael Jackson was living there for four months in 2007.

As good as the song is … it’s not the first single that will be released. We’re told we might be able to post a copy of  “Breaking News” on TMZ as soon as late tonight.

Check it out… What do YOU think?  Real or fake?

HEAR THE WHOLE SONG HERE!

Here’s a preview of the song:

NEW YORK – Bat Boy wows the Comic Con crowd with his amazing dance moves!

Bat Boy made a surprise appearance at the NYC Comic Con 2010 this weekend.  He wanted to confront the publishers of his new book – GOING MUTANT www.buybatboy.com. Bat Boy, notoriously private, is not happy about his whole life being exposed in this book.

But before while Bat Boy was searching out Dr.  Barry Leed (Ph.D in Mutant Bat Science), to “have it out with him” the Comic Con crowd started chanting, “Bat Boy dance!  Bat Boy dance!  Bat Boy dance!”

Leave it to the Comic Con crowd to remember that Bat Boy is a world-class dancer and Michael Jackson, himself, had said he was influenced by Bat Boy’s moves.

So, Bat Boy took to the UbiSoft  Stage and satisfied his adoring fanboys (and girls) with his mesmerizing moves.

We can’t show you the entire dance because…  Bat Boy won’t let us.   Here is a small taste of the Bat Boy dance:

Later, Bat Boy was kept on a leash by Dr. Fleidermaus, who was worried that Bat Boy would run off with some of his many adoring fans, most of which were A-list models.

On his 52nd Birthday, Michael Jackson has been sighted singing and dancing all around the world.

Today is Michael Jackson’s 52nd birthday and he has been spotted around the world, dressed in his “Smooth Criminal” costume.  He has been seen in Ireland, South Africa, Dubai, Shanghai, Manila, Rome, Barcelona, London, Moscow, Sao Paolo, Buenos Aires, Sydney, Miami, New York and Los Angeles.  Michael appears on the street, sings and dances for about thirty seconds then he disappears.

Is he alive, is he a ghost?  There’s rampant speculation all over the internet.

“It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen,” said Roger Farley of London. “He appeared on the street, sang a few short lines of the song, spun around and was gone… It was him. It definitely was him.”

Maria Lenine of Sao Paolo told reporters that she wept for hours after seeing Michael on her street.  “I can’t believe he’s alive.  But, I saw him with my own eyes.  It’s a miracle!”

Michael Jackson reportedly died on June 25, 2009 but there have been numerous Michael sightings since that time.  Recently, some people in Ireland have claimed to have seen Michael Jackson living there.  One woman, Margaret Maloney of Galway, said that she has Michael seven times in the last six months.

It makes some sense. Michael always loved Ireland.  He would often escape there to get away from the media madness elsewhere.  Jackson told reporters: “Ireland has inspired me to make a great album. I have never given up on making music.”  Michael often stayed at the Grouse Lodge or he would relax in County Wicklow.  Michael often said he wanted to move to Ireland permanently, and that he even spent time house-hunting in County Cork.

Are the Irish hiding Michael?   Are there leprechauns helping keep his hiding place a secret?

Others have claimed Michael is living in the South of France, while many have said he they have seen him in a village on the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa.

WWN can not yet confirm any of those reports and rumors, but we have had numerous emails from people in Galway, backing up the claim of Margaret Maloney.   “He lives here. It’s a fact. That’s all I’m going to say,” said Aiden Killeen of Galway.

Michael Jackson lives!

Happy Birthday, Michael!

Here’s the King of Pop as the Smooth Criminal:

Could this be his message to the world?
