Culture: Source: Michael Jackson’s doctor gave him a lethal dose

  • The doctor gave him Diprivan, and that did him in. According to a source close to the investigation and the Jackson family, authorities have their pinpoints directly on Dr. Conrad Murray, the live-in doctor who was apparently giving the now-deceased King of Pop his pills. Last week, authorities were looking in Murray’s office in Houston, supposedly for evidence of manslaughter. So yeah, put that in your pipe and smoke it. (Note that we could’ve gone with a pill metaphor but didn’t.) source

  • The @FakeChrisBale Twitter account • Regarding the actor’s “thoughts.” Bale, along with a who’s who of celebrities and politicians, have fake accounts dedicated to them. We guess that’s the new sign that you’ve made it to the big times…even if it’s not *always* flattering. Prime example: @notbillclinton exclaiming “Happy Mother’s Day to all the MILF’s!” • source

Culture: This viral video is the best PR Chris Brown’s gotten in months

  • Yo, Chris. It’s been a tough year for you. But your PR spin opportunities are finally starting to take hold. All you need is a couple of videos like this (along with maybe a couple more videos like this one) for people to forgive you for your sins against Rihanna. Seven million people have watched this video for the song, and they didn’t even think about the Grammys. (It helps that the people in this wedding are particularly talented.)source
