Not long after Dr. Conrady Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter today, those close to Michaej Jackson - whose death the physician is suspected to have been responsible for - reacted in outrage.
“He’s a monster,” said MJ’s mother, Katherine (pictured), after the arraignment.
Brian Oxman, the family’s veteran lawyer for Jackson’s father Joseph, was equally disgusted with the judge’s decision.
“This charge is a slap on the wrist,” he said. “There’s great disappointment here. [Conrad Murray] should’ve been charged with a higher degree of responsibility. What he did was reckless. It was a disregard for human life.”
Michael’s sister Latoya also chimed in, putting everything in a disturbing context:
“Michael was murdered and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was a part of a much larger plan. There are other individuals involved and I will not rest and I will continue to fight until all of [...]
She was one of thousands when she auditioned for American Idol in Boston, but Siobhan Magnus is one of the few remaining.
The Massachusetts native is rumored to be one of this season’s 24 semifinalists, as she’ll be featured in Hollywood starting this week.
Not much is known about the 19-year old: she sings lead vocals for the band Lunar Valve; is actually a glass-blowing apprentice and loves horror movies.
Siobhan resides in in Cape Code, Massacusetts.
In the video below, watch Magnus take the stage in a production of “Beauty and the Beast.”

This is hilarious:
Less than a week after Alex Reid tied the knot with Katie Price, the cage fighter reportedly wants out. The reason? He had no idea he was flying to Las Vegas to get married!
Sources claim Reid’s advisors are searching for a legal loophole that will enable him to annul the marriage: “He feels he was pressured and hadn’t had time to consider all the implications,” an insider said.
Alex Reid has a good body. Good taste in women? Not so much.
The story gets even better:
A spokesperson for Price, whose marriage to Peter Andre fell apart amidst a series of tabloid accusations, said his client and Reid did plan on getting hitched… but Price organized the event while Reid was secluded in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
“Alex and Kate had always intended to get married, but the Vegas trip was spontaneous and Alex didn’t know about it,” the rep said.

No one on the planet is thankful for the existence of Dr. Conrad Murray… but if anyone could find a silver lining in that physician’s involvement in Michael Jackson’s death, it’s Charlie Sheen.
That’s because Murray’s arraignment today on charges of involuntary manslaughter overshadowed the fact that Sheen was also in court.
As a result of his Christmas Day confrontation with wife Brooke Mueller, the actor was charged with three crimes in an Aspen court: felony menacing, misdemeanor third degree assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief.
Sheen did not enter a plea.
The judge did relax the protective order that has been in place against Charlie since December 25; he can now communicate and have contact with Mueller.
The couple embraced each other at the conclusion of the hearing and Sheen is due back in court in March.
In a follow-up to a story we posted earlier today, Conrad Murray has been officially charged with involuntary manslaughter and has entered a plea of not guilty.
The documents were filed in court today by the Los Angeles District Attorney, who alleges Murray “did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson.” Those are haunting words just to read, aren’t they?
Meanwhile, the county coroner released his official findings at the hearing and there’s no doubt about it: a lethal dosage of Propofol killed the singer. Eleven vials of the drug were found in Jackson’s home, and none of had prescription directions, patient or doctor names.
According to the coroner’s report, obtained by TMZ, homicide is cited as the cause of death because…
The setting of Jackson’s bedroom (e.g. a chair alongside the bed) indicate the drugs were not self-administered.
Propofol was injected in a non-hospital setting, without any appropriate medical indication.

On tomorrow night’s broadcast, Ellen DeGeneres officially joins the American Idol judging table.
While we’re looking forward to this debut, many viewers are already contemplating next season. Still shocked by the news of Simon Cowell’s exit, they’re left to wonder: who will replace this British icon?
Howard Stern has an idea: himself!
“I can’t imagine anyone else but me replacing [Cowell],” Stern said today. “How else are they going to make that show work? Who knows how to broadcast and who knows how to be interesting? And who’s not afraid to speak their mind?”
All good questions, but surely there’s someone out there that’s outspoken and more knowledgeable about music than he is about lesbians or sex toys.
Stern says quite clearly he’d do the show… if the money is right.
“It might be possible, we’ll see,” he said. “They’d have to pay me a ton of dough, because I already make a ton of dough.”
Stern’s [...]
While his baby mama’s mama is under fire for hilariously writing notes on her bare hand, Levi Johnston makes one thing clear in the latest issue of Playgirl:
He’s comfortable in his bare skin.
The magazine is relaunching its print edition with this issue, as it’s anchored by an article titled “Levi Johnston Goes Rogue.”
The accompanying pictorial includes an interview with Johnston, who is the father to Bristol Palin’s one-year old son, Tripp. He’s embroiled in a patrimony lawsuit with the Palins, which seems odd:
He doesn’t appear to have any money on him, does he?
For those that need more than just a few Levi Johnston nude photos, take note: a Playgirl pay-per-view special airs on cable February 12. Check your local listings.
And to critics that find it appalling for Johnston to milk his fame in such a shameful manner, we agree. Seriously, it would be akin to a former Vice Presidential candidate [...]
We hoping you’re reading this, OK! Weekly.
Move a little closer to the screen, In Touch.
Feast your eyes on the photos below, Star.
Amidst utterly contrived rumors that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are breaking up - with the former pursuing Jennifer Aniston, and the latter going after Johnny Depp - the couple brought son Maddox to Super Bowl XLIV. They don’t exactly look like a family in trouble, do they?
Pitt and Jolie, who reside in New Orleans and have dedicated time/money to the rebuilding efforts there, joined friends in a VIP box to watch the game. They celebrated together as the Saints upset the Colts 31-17.
And while the classy couple would never say it, allow us to get inside Brangelina’s head as the pair laid a Super Bowl smooch on one another: Eff you, tabloids!
While the cast of Jersey Shore considers where it will end up for season two, Nicole Polizzi knows where she’s headed tonight:
Into the arms of Emilio Antonio.
That’s the name of the “guido juicehead” Snooki recently dished about to Radar Online. She described her new boy toy thusly:
“He is a body builder and works at the gym,” she told RadarOnline.com. “He is freaking banging. We’re the sexiest couple I have ever seen in my entire life, so I am excited for everybody to see that.”
They now can. Antonio has posted a photo of the pair on Facebook:
Seems like Snooki’s type, doesn’t he?
Snooki says she’s “bringing my man” to Miami, or wherever the cast ends up next season. As long as they have a gym and a tanning both there, we’re guessing Emilio will be happy to tag along.
Months after his affair with Brooke Hundley got him fired as a baseball analyst at ESPN, Steve Phillips has spoken out.
He sat down with Matt Lauer today and took full responsibility for his immoral actions, while also detailing his addiction to sex.
“What I want to do is take ownership,” he said. “I made some mistakes … I’m fully responsible for what I did.”
The former New York Mets General Manager was recently released from Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, the same clinic Tiger Woods reportedly attended for his issues.
Phillips referred to it as a place for people who are “broken” and “struggling to find answers.”
To his credit, he didn’t hide behind the addiction, saying:
“People look at sex addiction as an excuse; it’s not an excuse. I’m fully responsible for everything that I did and accept responsibility for that. I’ve broken my wife’s heart. I’ve damaged her and [...]

Charlie Axel Woods turns a year old today.
Let’s hope he isn’t old enough to use Google. After all, a search for Tiger Woods doesn’t exactly bring up what it once did.
Charlie made his public debut ten days after he was born. The golfing and cheating great posted a photo (below) on his website of him holding and kissing his son, writing at the time:
“Both Charlie and Elin are doing great and we want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts. Elin, Sam and I are very excited for the new baby to arrive, although that’s when the real lack of sleep begins.”
Of course, as we now know, Tiger hadn’t actually been using a bed for sleeping in a very long time.
Woods is rumored to return to the golf course in late March. Are you excited for him to come back?
As you ponder that question, send Charlie [...]
Kyle Boller has been an ineffective starting quarterback in the NFL, with a career passer rating of 70.6
Carrie Prejean, meanwhile, has been an ineffective Christian role model, with a history of nude photos, sex tapes and bold-faced lies that have exploited the popular religion for personal fame and fortune.
In other words: these two are perfect for each other!
Prejean and Boller, who started dating last year, got engaged over the weekend, as the back-up QB proposed to the dethroned beauty queen in her hometown of San Diego. This is great news for Carrie:
Once the wedding takes place, she can finally have sex.
Kyle Boller failed as a quarterback due to poor on-field decision making. Looks like he has the same problem away from the gridiron.
The last time we wrote about Cameron Diaz, she was making like Madonna for a photo shoot with V magazine.
How ironic, considering we’re now reporting on the actress because she was reportedly making like the Material Girl in a different way this weekend: by macking on Alex Rodriguez!
At a Super Bowl XLIV pre-party Saturday night, Diaz and Rodriguez were definitely hanging out with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at the W Hotel, as evidenced by the photo below.
Multiple reports, meanwhile, say “they were having a great time,” as witnesses told both OK! Weekly and E! News that Cameron was “grinding on A-Rod.”
According to onlookers, Diaz was imbibing and acting “fun and flirty,” with the Yankees star, who sat on the couch alongside her when the pair weren’t burning up the dance floor.
Cameron’s most famous relationship, of course, was with Justin Timberlake. A Rod, meanwhile, has been linked to Madonna, Kate [...]
Based on her latest actions, we have nothing but positive things to say about Miley Cyrus.
The singer/actress has recruited famous friends for an online auction to benefit victims of last month’s earthquake in Haiti.
“Ever since the earthquake, I’ve been trying to do my part to help the people of Haiti – and I wanted to do more,” Cyrus told People. “I want to get people involved and show that even the little things you can do can make a difference.”
Starting February 8, you can visit Ebay.com/Miley to bid on the Herve Leger dress the singer wore to the Grammy Awards, along with two tickets to the Hollywood premiere of The Last Song.
Meanwhile, Nicole Richie has donated jewelry, while Britney Spears has handed over the outfit she wore to the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
“Everyone has been so generous,” Miley said. “My mom and I started calling and texting all of [...]
