Conrad Murray Asks For Appeal In Michael Jackson Manslaughter Case

Murray is asking appellate court to re-test a piece of medical evidence from his trial.
By Gil Kaufman

<P>The imprisoned cardiologist <a href="/news/articles/1673906/michael-jackson-conrad-murray-verdict-guilty-involuntary-manslaughter.jhtml">convicted of manslaughter</a>&#8232; in the 2009 death of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/jackson_michael/artist.jhtml">Michael Jackson</a> filed a request on Monday to have a key piece of evidence in his trial re-tested. Dr. Conrad Murray is asking an appellate court to order a lab to authorize a forensic analysis on residue in a drug vial taken from the bedroom of Jackson's rented Los Angeles estate.</P><P>According to the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0731-murray-20120731,0,2898322.story" target="_blank"><I>Los Angeles Times</I></a> Murray's defense team thinks that the 100-milliliter bottle, which was a key piece of evidence at the 2011 trial that ended with Murray's conviction on involuntary manslaughter charges, could help lead to a successful appeal of the sentence.</P><P>Murray's fingerprint was on the bottle, which prosecutors said held the lethal dose of the surgical anesthetic propofol that killed Jackson. Prosecutors had argued that Murray mixed a small amount of propofol with another anesthetic, lidocaine, in an intravenous drip and then left Jackson unattended.</P><P>Murray's defense team said the vial was in a bag of trash and was unrelated to Jackson's death, countering that the pop icon injected himself with propofol from a syringe while the doctor wasn't looking.</P><P>"If a forensic examination of the residue in Exhibit 30 revealed no lidocaine, it would completely negate [the prosecution expert's] concluding theory ... leaving only the theory of bolus injection just prior to Jackson's death," appellate attorney Valerie Wass wrote in a filing.</P><P>This is the third time Murray's lawyers have attempted to launch an appeal on these grounds after they argued that they did not fully comprehend the need to test the residue until the testimony of a prosecution expert near the end of the seven-week trial. During the trial, judge Michael Pastor refused a motion for further analysis shortly after the verdict; a second request was also denied.</P><P>Murray, 58, received a four-year sentence but is not expected to serve more than two years in county jail.</p>

The Who Announce North American Tour And Olympics Performance

the who la 7 19 12 The Who Announce North American Tour And Olympics Performance

The Who are going back on the road. Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend announced that they’ll be going on a major North American arena tour where they’ll perform songs from their iconic 1973 album Quadrophenia as well as other Who classics. They also announced that they’ll be performing at the Olympic Games in London.

Album Review: Pearl’s ‘Reflection’

PearlCB070912 Album Review: Pearls Reflection

Reflection is the debut album of Southern alt-gospel vocalist Pearl. Born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, the beauty behind the big voice and humbling tunes of Reflection has written a number of scripture-based songs and poems.  Lively acoustic guitar and heart-pounding percussion complements Pearl’s clean, pure vocals on almost every track.  The album proves to be multi-dimensional, incorporating choir-filled choruses, soft maracas, and a style ranging from the a cappellas of traditional gospel to a soft jazz that holds pop appeal.

Lyrics like “They hated Him/ So why would I think they like me?” and “I want more than a pat on the back/ I want more than my name on the map/ I want more than this world can offer me” are refreshing and vivacious takes on a Christian outlook that people can relate to from all walks of life. Indeed, the upbeat mood that transcends from the album accounts for more than a simple enjoyable listening experience–her honest words, contagious strength, and unmistakable certainty accounts for her ability to pierce the doubts and fears of people and turn them toward a path of hope and passion.

Pearl’s music moves beyond its intended purpose to share a young woman’s view of the world as a Christian, with songs like the title track “Reflection” and “More Than” becoming testaments of the impact we have on others through being honest about our beliefs, how music serves to inspire others, and what we can accomplish if we just have a little faith.

Reflection EP is available via iTunes or Amazon for $4.95.

Rating: 9 / 10

Track List:

  1. More Than
  2. Reflection
  3. Love of Jesus
  4. One of a Kind (Bonus)
  5. Humble Me (Bonus)

‘American Idol’ Lands Mariah Carey, Gives Her $18 Million To Judge

mariah carey american idol la 7 24 12 American Idol Lands Mariah Carey, Gives Her $18 Million To Judge

Mariah Carey has officially joined American Idol, and will be sitting on the judging panel next season. Rolling Stone is reporting that Carey got a walloping $18 million with a one-year option for her role on the show. This now makes her the highest earning judge on any music competition show. Silly us for making Britney Spears$15 million seem like a lot of money. That’s nothing!

Carey told the press that she was very excited to be joining Idol. Before the deal was done, people speculated that she’d be getting somewhere in between $12 and $17 million to judge, but she beat that. Not only is Carey the newest judge, but her $18 million makes her the highest paid judge across the board.

According to Billboard, Randy Jackson is her manager and suggested Carey to Idol producers a long time ago.

Carey seems like a great fit for a competition show. She’s a singer, not just a performer. Maybe she’ll have better advice to give, who knows.

Still, two judges left the show. Carey fills one of the seats on the judging panel. Idol needs one more. And word is Charlie Sheen, Aretha Franklin and Adam Lambert are all interested in it.

What do you think? Is Mariah Carey a good addition to American Idol?

Beyonce, Lil Wayne Inspire NiRe AllDai's 'Boss-Bitch-Behavior'

'Beyoncé is the perfect example of what a solo artist should strive for,' 'Inside Out' singer/songwriter tells MTV News.
By Akshay Bhansali

<P>Performing at the International Dance Music Awards in Miami in March and launching her first music video for her club single <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_VcKTkY4Vk" target="_blank">"Inside Out"</a> are just two of Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter NiR&#233; AllDai's endeavors since first stepping out as an artist. Her journey, which today sees her selecting songs &#8212; including tracks produced by Timbaland and the Stargate camp &#8212; for her upcoming debut album, actually began as a writer for other producers and artists.</P><P>"I've always been an artist," NiR&#233; told MTV News. "But my manager was like, 'Let's work this [writer] angle,' and it worked well because I was able to build a lot of really great relationships with dope producers who ended up helping me on my project."</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="NiR&#233; AllDai Readies Debut Album" id="vid:789067" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"I did a first single for Starshell, who was Mary J. Blige's first artist, and the single was called 'SuperLuva' [produced by Fernando Garibay]," NiR&#233; continued. "I had a chance to write with Mary and Swizz [Beatz] and Timbaland and Dr. Dre, who's a really good friend of mine."</P><P>After getting her writing chops up, meeting the right management and finding her A&R at Capitol Records, NiR&#233; was ready to give it her all for a chance to perform for the masses. Her fearlessness, fashion and electricity are depicted vividly in her video for "Inside Out," which was directed by <a href="http://londonalley.com/?director=hannah-lux-davis" target="_blank">Hannah Lux Davis</a>, who also directed videos for Shinedown and Anjulie, among others. NiR&#233; is inspired by some of music's biggest, baddest stars, included among them Missy Elliott, Lil Wayne, and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/knowles_beyonce/artist.jhtml">Beyonc&#233;</a>.</P><P>"Beyonc&#233; is the perfect example of what a solo artist should strive for," NiR&#233; said. "If you want to be like 'boss-bitch-behavior'! When I'm in the gym and I'm tired and can't go anymore, I'm like, 'What would Beyonc&#233; do?' She wouldn't stop."</P><P>NiR&#233; AllDai will release her second club single, "Hella Bad," soon, with a radio single to follow. She plans to release her as-yet-untitled debut album sometime this year, and she also has her fingers crossed for another, long-awaited opportunity.</P><P>"I've been looking forward to the <i>Detox,</i> [album]' NiR&#233; said. "He's a genius. We have a couple of songs on there. So Dre, please!"</P><P>For more info on NiR&#233; AllDai, check out her <a href="http://nirealldai.com/" target="_blank">website</a>.</p>

Britney Spears, Demi Lovato Walk Off During 'X Factor' Audition

Sources say judges 'didn't want to waste their time' with lousy contestant in Kansas City.
By Jocelyn Vena

<P>One "X Factor" contestant learned what happens when you attempt to pull a fast one on the judges. Over the weekend, while <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/spears_britney/artist.jhtml">Britney Spears</a>, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/lovato__demi/artist.jhtml">Demi Lovato</a>, L.A. Reid and seat-filling judge Louis Walsh (who was assisting an ill Simon Cowell) were in Kansas City, Missouri they walked out on one contestant who attempted to audition with his back to the judges.</P><P>According to <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20602844,00.html" target="_blank">People.com</a> sources, not only did the contestant audition with his back to the panel, but he also wasn't all that talented of a singer, adding insult to injury. "It was really awkward," an eyewitness told the site of the kooky audition. "You could tell the judges were done. I don't think they had a choice. They didn't want to waste their time."</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Britney Spears Explains Why She Wanted To Be A Part Of 'X Factor'" id="vid:769620" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>Another onlooker added that the male contestant didn't leave the judges much of an option given his lack of talent. "He was one of the worst singers and had a bad attitude ... [The judges] all hated it and walked off," the source said. Additionally, he had no idea they had walked out since his back was to them for his entire performance.</P><P>Everyone except Britney eventually made their way back to the judges' table to hear the last contestant. Spears' absence was met with the audience chanting, "Where's Britney?" However, she was only gone for a short time, as she returned later on for another batch of contestants.</P><P>Spears and Lovato made their debut as <a href="/news/articles/1685844/britney-spears-x-factor-judging.jhtml">"X Factor" judges in late May</a>, weeks after Cowell and Reid appeared at the <a href="/news/articles/1685206/britney-spears-x-factor-concept.jhtml">Fox upfront</a> alongside the singers to announce them as additions to the show. "Just really being able to be there and inspire the other contestants ... they're so young and they're trying to fulfill their dreams," Spears said at the event. "It's just a whole beautiful concept. It's just really cool."</P><P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1617615"><img src="http://www.mtv.com/news/photos/s/spotted/banner/spotted.jpg"></a></p>

News Roundup: Jennifer Lopez And Steven Tyler Quit ‘American Idol’, Superhero-Inspired Music And More

american idol la 7 13 12 News Roundup: Jennifer Lopez And Steven Tyler Quit American Idol, Superhero Inspired Music And More

This week, the rumors that Jennifer Lopez was quitting American Idol returned. But this time, they didn’t stop at rumors because Jenny from the Block ended up quitting the show, along with pal and co-judge Steven Tyler. Meanwhile, Skrillex is on a roll with film projects, as it was announced that he would be contributing his music to Disney’s upcoming animated movie Wreck-It Ralph. We’ve also got Cookie Monster doing his own little parody of Billboard‘s hottest single right now, “Call Me Maybe.”All that and more below.

  • Skrillex Set To Score Another Film: Is Skrillex leaving the DJ booth to score films? Well, no – he’s still that superstar DJ you love – but he is adding another film to his scoring roster. Besides Spring Breakers, Skrillex will be contributing music to Disney’s upcoming and awesome-looking Wreck-It Ralph. According to ScreenCrave, the news was announced yesterday at the Comic-Con Disney panel.
  • American Idol News: Rumors have been going on forever about Jennifer Lopez’s future at American Idol. But those rumors just became an actuality – Jenny is leaving Idol. And so is Steven Tyler. Both judges have quit the show. According to Billboard, Tyler said that after long, hard thoughts, he’s decided to “let go of [his] mistress,” and return to his “first love, Aerosmith.” Jenny confirmed she was leaving the show on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this morning. Basically, she’s just too busy being a superstar that she doesn’t have time to be a TV star. And yes, there’s already talks of who’ll be replacing the judges. Billboard reports that Mariah Carey is ‘in serious talks’ to judge Idol.
  • 15 Sensational Superhero Songs: In the spirit of this Superhero-esque summer and Comic-Con, we’ve decided to include Billboard‘s list of 15 Sensational Superhero Songs. The list includes a bunch of superhero-inspired music from the best. Check that out.
  • Share It Maybe: And lastly, since “Call Me Maybe” covers and parodies are all the craze right now, we’re adding a very cute video by the Cookie Monster (not the one from Skins, the one from Sesame Street). His parody is entitled “Share It Maybe”, check it out:
