Dr. Conrad Murray, the man who is accused to be behind the dead of Pop Singer Michael Jackson, by providing him a high dose of propofol, has sought for a delay in trail.

Dr. Murray attorneys filed for a delay this Friday citing they need time to review new reports from prosecution witnesses and to cross verify it.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor scheduled a hearing on Monday to consider the request, which comes 10 days before the scheduled start of opening arguments on May 9.

Prosecutors said on Friday they wanted to call an additional medical expert at the trial to counter what are expected to be suggestions by Murray’s defense team that the “Thriller” singer swallowed propofol by himself.

Murray has admitted giving Jackson propofol as a sleep aid as he rehearsed for a comeback tour, but denies it was a fatal dose. The 50 year-old singer died at his rented Los Angeles home on June 25, 2009.

While it is kinda well known to everyone that Dr.Conrad Murry might have been responsible for the death of Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson’s kids believe otherwise. They think Dr. Murry is the best doctor in the world, reports TMZ.com.

Why would they think that way ? It seems Michael Jackson told them that Dr. Murry was the best doctor in the world.

MJ’s former nanny, Grace Rwaramba, spoke with LAPD investigators in the months after Michael died  … and explained how Murray became a “regular” around the house when the singer lived in Vegas … coming by at least two times a week.

Grace told investigators Michael would constantly brag about Murray in front of the kids — and that’s why after he died, the kids would say, “There’s no way daddy could have died of a heart attack because Dr. Murray is the best doctor in the whole world.”

Grace also said Michael first met Murray through a member of MJ’s security team … and explained  MJ felt he could trust Murray, because the security guy claimed he had some sort of mysterious leverage over the doc.

Grace offered no further explanation about the mysterious leverage.

And here’s another bombshell — Grace says that during a family trip to Florida, the kids called 911 when they discovered MJ “passed out” in their hotel room. It’s unclear when the incident took place.

This show destroyed the Cyrus family?

Miley Cyrus’s dad Billy Ray Cyrus believes that the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana is responsible for destroying his family and sending his daughter out of control.

He also said he is scared about his daughter’s future after a series of scandals of Miley Cyrus kept coming. He also wished that ‘Hannah Montana’ never happened.

“The damn show destroyed my family,” Cyrus told GQ magazine in an interview for its March edition. “I’d take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just everybody be okay, safe and sound and happy and normal would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I’d erase it all in a second if I could.”

He is also part of the Hannah Montana show, he played as Hannah Montana’s dad in the show.

“Hannah Montana” launched in 2006 and ended after four seasons in January 2011.

Billy Ray Cyrus ended his 17-year marriage with his wife in October 2010 by filing for divorce.

Cyrus compared his daughter’s current situation to celebrities like Kurt Cobain, Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson, who all died in tragic circumstances.

“I’m scared for her,” Cyrus said of Miley. “She’s got a lot of people around her that’s putting her in a great deal of danger. I know she’s 18 but I still feel like, as her daddy, I’d like to try to help. Take care of her just a little bit, to at least get her out of danger.

“I want to get her sheltered from the storm. Stop the insanity for a minute. When you go through what she’s been through, it takes a beating on you,” he said.

Cyrus carried out the GQ interview in December, shortly after home video of Miley Cyrus hit the Internet smoking the hallucinogenic herb salvia at a private party with friends just days after her 18th birthday.

The herb is not illegal in California, but the images of Miley Cyrus giggling about tripping capped a year in which she has thrown aside her once squeaky-clean image with raunchy pop videos and scantily-clad live performances.

Miley Cyrus last week expressed regret over the salvia incident, saying she had made a mistake and had disappointed her mostly young fans. She is due to host TV sketch show “Saturday Night Live” for the first time next month.

Billy Ray Cyrus, best known for his 1990s country music albums, said he wished he had been a better parent to Miley and disciplined her more, rather than wanting to be her friend.

“I should have said, ‘Enough is enough — it’s getting dangerous and somebody’s going to get hurt’. I should have but I didn’t. Honestly I didn’t know the ball was out of bounds until it was way up in the stands somewhere,” he said.

Will.i.am hits at Sony for profiting out of MJ's unfinished work

Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am says he wants no part in the new Michael Jackson album because it stands against everything Michael believed in.

“Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are … He just wasn’t any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it’s disrespectful. There’s no honouring,” TMZ.com quoted him as saying.

According to Will.i.am, the biggest issue is using unfinished Michael tracks on the album.

“Michael Jackson songs are finished when Michael says they’re finished … Maybe if I never worked with him I wouldn’t have this perspective. He was very particular about how he wanted his vocals, the reverb he used … he was that hands-on,” he said.

“It’s worth noting … the album is put out by Sony, through Michael’s estate. So Michael’s kids are the ones who stand to make money off this,” he added. (ANI)

Michael Jackson’s latest album after his death ‘Michael’ is all set to be released on December 14th 2010. One track has already debuted in YouTube.

This new album has already caused a lot of controversies with Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine Jackson and Sony. Michael Jackson’s mother was not for the release of these tracks and albums as Michael Jackson considered them unfinished work and did not want to release them when he was alive. Releasing them after his death is considered as an insult to his memory as he did not want them to be released in the first place.

But the decided to go ahead with it anyway in spite of all the misunderstandings.

Michael Jackson’s official YouTube Channel has just released the track ‘Breaking News’ which is believed to be part of the ‘Michael’ album.

Listen to the song here :

This is just another attempt by Michael Jackson’s estate trying to cover the debt that Michael left behind. Michael Jackson personally wouldn’t have wanted this to be released as this was recorded over the phone and Sony attempted to smooth it out with their latest gigs.

In short, its not perfect. But for Michael Jackson fans this could be a real treat as they get to hear their idol once more.

Sony Music on Friday released a brief “teaser” of a new Michael Jackson single and insisted that the vocals on an upcoming new album were genuinely those of the late “Thriller” singer.

But controversy over the December album release of “Michael” was stoked by a representative of Jackson’s father Joe, who said the perfectionist performer would never have wanted his unfinished material to be released.

A short clip on the official michaeljackson.com web site for “Breaking News” — a song that Jackson is said to have recorded in 2007 — consisted of TV news soundbites on Jackson’s June 2009 death, followed by a faint scream of less than two seconds.

The full song will be released on Monday. The new album “Michael” will be released Dec. 14.

“Michael” is the latest commercial venture by Jackson’s official estate and the first album of new material from the singer since his “Invincible” album in 2001.

Sony has declined to say how much production work was done on the album after Jackson’s sudden death from a prescription drug overdose, or how many tracks it contains.

“If Michael had wanted this music released he would have done so before his death,” Brian Oxman, a lawyer for Joe Jackson, said in a statement on Friday.

“The songs which are being released on the new Michael Jackson album were unfinished and incomplete tracks that Michael said over and over many times he never wanted released. We should honor Michael Jackson’s wishes,” Oxman added.

Earlier this week, celebrity website TMZ.com said that Jackson’s mother Katherine, and his two eldest children, Prince and Paris, believe that the voice on some of the album tracks is not Michael’s.

But a spokeswoman for Sony’s Epic Records said on Friday that the label has “complete confidence in the results of our extensive research as well as the accounts of those who were in the studio with Michael that the vocals on the new album are his own.”

The Jackson family’s misgivings follow an embarrassing debacle last year when “This Is It,” a new Jackson single touted as his first posthumous release, turned out to have been first recorded 18 years earlier under a different title by an obscure Puerto Rican singer.

Sony said “Breaking News” was recorded by Jackson at a friend’s place in New Jersey in 2007 and “recently brought to completion.”

Other tracks were recorded at studios in Las Vegas and Los Angeles with various unidentified collaborators, Sony Music said. At the time of his death, Jackson was reported to be working with hitmakers like R&B star Akon and Lady Gaga collaborator RedOne.

The executors of Jackson’s estate have sanctioned a number of projects to pay off the singer’s debts and to provide for his mother and children. They include a Jackson-themed Cirque du Soleil tour that will open in Montreal next October, and a dance videogame due in stores later this month.

A new Michael Jackson video is to be released as part of a boxed collection of all Jackson’s music videos, it was announced Wednesday.

The three-DVD collection, ‘Michael Jackson’s Vision’, will hit stores Nov 22, and will feature re-mastered video and audio of such Jackson classics as ‘Thriller’, ‘Bad’ and ‘Black and White’.

Produced by Jackson’s estate in conjunction with Epic/Legacy Recordings the boxed-set will also include the video Jackson made to the never-before released recording ‘One More Chance’, which was penned by R Kelly.

According to a statement by the producers, the 4.5 hours of video recognise Jackson’s ‘pioneering short films that transformed the entertainment industry with timeless, pop culture classics’.

‘The simultaneous emergence of MTV as a television force and Michael Jackson’s breakout as a global superstar provided the most epochal musical/cultural shift since The Beatles,’ the producers said. ‘Michael Jackson redefined and established the perimeters, and parameters, of an entire new medium.’
