The LAPD investigation into Michael Jackson's death has been completed and the case will go the D.A. within weeks, law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... and, we're told, it's all but certain Dr. Conrad Murray will be criminally charged in MJ's death.
Our sources say detectives completed their investigation late last month and the case will be formally presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney as soon as scheduling allows. Turns out ... the presentation will draw quite the crowd. A number of members of the LAPD and the D.A.'s office will be present, and finding a date when everyone can show is a little tricky ... but we're told it will happen in a matter of weeks.
One very informed source says the LAPD investigation was "exhaustive" and "extremely thorough" and the D.A. has enough evidence to pull the trigger on a criminal case against Dr. Murray. That said, we're told the case is complicated, in part because Dr. Murray did not break any laws in administering Propofol to Jackson.
One law enforcement source connected with the case notes the D.A. has been actively working with the LAPD and it's all but certain the case will be filed. As for the charge -- a decision has not been made, but our sources say the likelihood is involuntary manslaughter, which requires a showing of gross negligence.

| NBC to Conan O'Brien -- The Choice Is Yours |
[08 Jan 2010|12:29am] |
NBC has given Conan O'Brien the option to either do his show from midnight to 1 or leave the network, sources tell TMZ.
As TMZ first reported, after the Olympics, Jay Leno will get his 11:30 PM time period back. We're told network execs have told Conan they will let him decide if he wants the midnight to 1:00 AM time slot. If he does, Leno's show will only be a half hour. If Conan walks, Leno will get a full hour, informed sources tell TMZ.
Our sources say Conan has not decided what he wants. We do know he's pissed, because he was given no advanced warning this was coming. Conan's people told NBC they are considering the offer. Translation: Mr. O'Brien -- I have Rupert Murdoch on line one, Stephen McPherson on line two, John Landgraf on line three, Jeff Wachtel on line four ...
We're told if Conan gets another offer, even though NBC could block the move, they will let him go and give Leno the full hour.
Stay tuned ...

[08 Jan 2010|12:51pm] |
“The Hurt Locker” has picked up plenty of high-profile fans over the past year, starting with the critics groups that have named it the best film of the year. Kathryn Bigelow’s tense drama about a bomb disposal unit in Iraq has scored a rare trifecta with the three most prestigious groups – the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics – plus top honors from close to a dozen other critics groups.
And actor Robert Duvall said that the film was “the best movie I have seen in years – one of the ten best movies of my life.”

| An Old Bitch Adopts a Child |
[07 Jan 2010|07:53pm] |
Actress Jean Smart welcomed a new baby to the family in 2009 as she and her husband Richard Gilliland adopted a 10-month-old girl named Bonnie from China.
The 58-year-old star broke the big news during an appearance yesterday on The Bonnie Hunt Show, revealing that she, her husband and their 19-year-old son Connor traveled to China last year to bring home their daughter Bonnie, who is now 18 months.
Despite their 18 year age difference the proud mom says that her son and daughter are "so smitten," but laughingly adds, "We thought they were going to be closer in age when we first started this!"
Jean is best known for her work on TV series such as Designing Women, 24 and Samantha Who?

China actually has an age restriction for anyone over 50 that cannot adopt a child younger than 2; however, they let the age range slide when adopting a child with special needs.

| Deadpool Movie Gets The Dark Comedy Writers That Wade Deserves |
[07 Jan 2010|08:20pm] |
Fans of loopy banter and insane violence rejoice — Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, of Zombieland fame, are writing the Deadpool movie. This means the "Merc with a Mouth" film could actually be clever.
Variety announced that Fox has selected Zombieland writers Reese and Wernick to bring Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool film to life.
While there's "no timetable" set the trade speculates that if the script is done by the summer, Reynolds will already be in superhero shape from filming Green Lantern and has a window of opportunity, so what's to stop a quick turnover? Well besides piling two Ryan Reynolds comic book movie releases on top of each other that is.
The writers stated that they wanted to stay true to the mythology of Deadpool, and if their previous Zombieland work is any indication of their wit, then they are a perfect fit for the fourth-wall-breaking, Bea Arthur-loving character.

| Simon Cowell Signs Paula Abdul To $4.5 Million-A-Year Contract With “The X Factor?” |
[07 Jan 2010|09:53pm] |
Get ready for another season of Simon and Paula’s signature bickering — on the US adaptation of The X Factor.
Paula Abdul has allegedly inked a $4.5 million contract to bring her loopy commentary to the judges panel on an American version of Simon’s hit UK talent show, The X Factor. That’s interesting, considering the star walked away from her post at American Idol because she failed to secure the $10 million-a-year payday she was vying for.
Apparently, Paula isn’t very good at gambling, is she?
A FOX tipster revealed to The National Enquirer’s Mike Walker: “Simon flew Paula to London and wined and dined her relentlessly over the course of several days, even introducing her to everyone who works on X Factor. But what really clinched the deal was Simon’s pledge that she wouldn’t have to deal with all the nonsense and infighting that she hated on Idol.”
The X Factor America will premiere in 2011.

| Kenna, Jessica Biel And Lupe Fiasco Climb Kilimanjaro |
[07 Jan 2010|09:05pm] |
Thursday, music artist/philanthropist Kenna lead a group that includes actors Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas and musicians Lupe Fiasco and Santigold on the trip of a lifetime to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. The ascent of the highest peak in Africa is not a casual vacation among bold-named friends, though, but part of an awareness raising trek called the "Summit on the Summit" aimed at shining a light on the global clean-water crisis.
The group will be joined by a panel of eminent scientists and thinkers who've been working on bringing desperately needed clean water to developing nations around the globe, and their climb will be chronicled in a 90-minute documentary slated to air March 14 at 9 p.m. on MTV.
Update to date information of their trek including individual locations, vitals, videos, etc, can be found: SummitOnTheSummit.com

| Don't Bring Beyonce Now: Fete promoters think concert will hurt Carnival 2010 |
[07 Jan 2010|07:22pm] |
Don’t bring Beyonce to Trinidad and Tobago now.
That’s the cry of fete and Carnival show promoters as well as panmen and calypsonians who are also calling on TSTT CEO, Roberto Peon, to explain what is the company’s intention towards Carnival 2010 and beyond in light of the concert featuring the American R&B singer immediately after Carnival on Thursday, February 18.
The concerned parties are delivering a petition to Peon requesting a meeting with him signed by among others, promoter Frank Martineau, mas bandleaders Big Mike Antoine and Ronnie MacIntosh, Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Organisation general secretary Lutalo ’Brother Resistance’ Masimba and former CEO of the Caribbean Prestige Foundation, Gregory Fernandes, who is spearheading the move to secure the sitdown.
’We want to discuss with TSTT the position they have taken to present Beyonce in concert so soon after Carnival and their decision to cut back and even pull sponsorship of Carnival events. We understand they have also cancelled the B-Square concert series at Woodford Square for this year. TSTT has contributed greatly to Carnival over the years and this is a surprise move. We want to know what their commitment to Carnival is,’ Fernandes said.

| Gloriana Go 'Far' in 2010! |
[07 Jan 2010|08:35pm] |
The members of Gloriana have noticed an immediate impact from winning the Breakthrough Artist of the Year trophy at the most recent American Music Awards.
"You don't realizing how many people are watching those TV shows; you win an award and you start going places," the group's Mike Gossin tells Billboard.com. "It's funny now; going to airports, people recognize us a lot more -- everywhere we go, really. They're like, 'Oh, I saw you win that award.' It was one of the highlights for this band so far. Cross our fingers, hopefully we'll win a lot more."
Gloriana -- Gossin, his older brother Tom, Rachel Reinert and Cheyenne Kimball -- was already off to a good start even before the AMAs. Its self-titled debut album, released in August, reached No. 2 on the Hot Country Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200, while the single "Wild at Heart" was a Top 15 hit. The group's second single, "How Far Do You Wanna Go?," is currently climbing the charts.

| Cindy Margolis Orders Sperm Samples From Contestants in New Dating Show |
[07 Jan 2010|05:49pm] |
Former Playboy pin-up Cindy Margolis knows a thing or two about infertility, having given birth to her three children through IVF and later authoring the book “Having a Baby… When the Old-Fashioned Way Isn’t Working.”
Now she's bringing the idea to television with her new dating reality show, “Seducing Cindy,” to debut on the FOX Reality Channel on January 30.
“I am the spokesperson for Resolve, the National Infertility Association, so we could get away with it. We had one competition where the guys had to go through what I went through and give a sperm sample,” Margolis told Tarts. “It was interesting to have 25 guys go off into a room and bring you back a sperm sample. Clinically, I know how to test sperm, and I tested each of the guy’s sperm on my show. It was the craziest thing.”
The dating reality show has men aged 18-49 competing in a range of interesting competitions in the hope of scoring Margolis’s hand in love. And according to the upcoming reality starlet, the guys were happy to go through with the “sperm” game.

| Tired of voting in polls? No? GOOD. |
[07 Jan 2010|09:40pm] |
There's going to be a lot of them in your future.
Due to the epic amount of fail during the People's Choice Awards (though the resulting mini party was pretty awesome) the amazing ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) tinuelena (seriously, bow to her) came up with the idea for the Trek Choice Awards
So, GQMFs, we give you ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) gqmf_awards. Still in planning stages.
Ideas thrown out so far:
+ Send paper trophies to Paramount
+ Announce the winners over Livestream
+ Posting pictures of yourself bein' fancy/in costume/being GQ
+ Categories such as:
MOST EROTIC EYEBROWS
BEST USE OF LENSFLARE
BEST RANDOM BACKGROUND ALIEN
MOST RIDICULOUS MOMENT THAT LOOKED AWESOME
BEST BOWLCUT HAIR-FLOPING IN A DRAMATIC SCENE
It's so amazing, we need categories for our categories! So join now & add your ideas to the brainstorming entry/post new categories!!
Also, anyone willing to make banners/design awards will get my first born. Though that's probably more of a deterrent than anything.
Edit:
I've yet to talk to tinuelena who really runs this show but I just can't stop thinking.
My ultimate idea for this thing?
When we finally get all the categories down/nominations/voting complete...who ever wanted to be a presenter could film themselves doing a category intro/announce the nominees. I have a background in film editing and would compile these, plus add in all the obligatory picutures/videoclips of the nominees. (Anyone else who does videos & would like to help with this?)
...This could be a real awards show.
TOO INSANE????? The sheer amount of categories would make this long & probably a lot of work. Probably so worth it though?
