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>
 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 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.
The Who will embark on a US tour starting November 1, 2012 at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida. Daltrey and Townshend will be joined by Zak Starkey (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), Simon Townshend (guitar/backing vocals), Chris Stainton (keyboards), Loren Gold (keyboards/backing vocals) and Frank Simes (musical director, keyboards/backing vocals). Their lengthy tour includes stops in North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, California, Nevada and Colorado, among many others.
This tour will be the first for the band in four years. Daltrey revealed that the “Tupac” idea of creating holographic images of deceased band members Keith Moon and John Entwistle did occur to them, but they decided to pass on it because it would have been too expensive and ‘gimmicky.’
The band will also make a stop in London for the Olympic Games, which run from July 27 to August 12. Daltrey said that the band recorded a piece of music that is “a fabulous ending for the Olympics and just shows the great music that has come out of this country.”
Check out the tour dates below.

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.

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?

'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 NiRé AllDai's endeavors since first stepping out as an artist. Her journey, which today sees her selecting songs — including tracks produced by Timbaland and the Stargate camp — for her upcoming debut album, actually began as a writer for other producers and artists.</P><P>"I've always been an artist," NiRé 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="NiRé 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]," NiRé 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, NiRé 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. NiRé 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">Beyoncé</a>.</P><P>"Beyoncé is the perfect example of what a solo artist should strive for," NiRé 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 Beyoncé do?' She wouldn't stop."</P><P>NiRé 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]' NiRé said. "He's a genius. We have a couple of songs on there. So Dre, please!"</P><P>For more info on NiRé AllDai, check out her <a href="http://nirealldai.com/" target="_blank">website</a>.</p>

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.

"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.

Family and friends gathered at the Wieuca Road Baptist Church for 11-year-old's funeral service Friday (July 27).
By Rob Markman, with reporting by FLX
<P>Family and friends gathered privately in Atlanta on Friday (July 27) to lay to rest young Kile Glover, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/usher/artist.jhtml">Usher Raymond</a>'s 11-year old stepson, who died from injuries suffered in a tragic <a href="/news/articles/1689206/ushers-stepson-declared-brain-dead-after-jet-ski-accident.jhtml">Jet Ski accident</a> earlier this month.</P><P>Glover was the son of Usher's ex-wife, Tameka Foster, and Atlanta TV executive Ryan Glover.

<P>Things went from bad to worse for Kiie Glover, Usher's 11-year-old stepson. After a tragic Jet Ski accident left the <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/07/08/ushers-son-injured-in-jet-ski-accident/">youngster in critical condition</a> on Friday, doctors have now declared him brain dead.</P><P><a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/07/08/usher-tameka-foster-stepson-brain-dead/" target=="_blank">TMZ</a> is reporting that Glover, who is the son of Usher's ex-wife, Tameka Foster, has not experienced any brain activity since he was admitted into the hospital two days ago.
