Dr Conrad Murray To Be Chargered With Manslaughter.

Prosecutors investigating Michael Jackson's death plan to file a criminal complaint charging the singer's doctor with involuntary manslaughter rather than seek a grand jury indictment, The Associated Press learned Tuesday, a strategy shift that will give an eager public an earlier look at evidence.

While there is no public timetable for charges to be filed against Dr. Conrad Murray, there are strong indications the move is imminent. Murray and lawyer Edward Chernoff have traveled to Los Angeles from Houston, where Murray practices, and the attorney said his client is prepared to turn himself in.
"If they tell him to surrender in 10 minutes, he'll go surrender," said Chernoff, who spent several hours meeting with other members of Murray's defense team Tuesday. "He's never hidden, he's always been available."

David Walgren, the deputy Los Angeles County district attorney handling the case, declined to comment.

Matthew Knowles You Are The Father!

In the case of a new born baby girl Matthew Knowles you are the father.  (In my Maury voice)

Sources say that Alexsandra Wright had a paternity test done recently after giving birth to her daughter, and Mathew Knowles is indeed the father. No word on how Bey Bey, Tina or Solange are taking the news of their newest family member, but we’re sure they aren’t too happy. It is said that Tina’s recent file for divorce was due to Mathew’s cheating


Dang.. I know this sucks for the Bey and Solo, I bet this will be one of the subjects you aren't allowed to ask about at interviews. At least Juelz will have a younger aunt to play with.

Fashion Week Etiquette, PR Edition: Tantrums Will Get You Nowhere

RULE #1: BE NICE
Bonnie Morrison  says, “People outside the industry forget that it’s a trade show (not a circus, discotheque). People inside the industry forget that it’s not a contract or hostage negotiation (with a set of conditions, demands). Like anything in life, the fundamental rules apply: be nice, play fair, say please and thank you. People really do remember it…and they remember its opposite even longer.”


RULE #2: DON’T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR FRIENDSHIP
Just because we got wasted together at a fashion party doesn’t mean I have to invite you to shows.’ BUT! I think a more serious quote is, ‘Requesting a standing room ticket does not make it any easier on us. We still have to add you to the RSVP list, check you in at the front, and give you a standing room ticket when planning the seating chart.

RULE #3: IT’S WORK, NOT PLAY
“Hundreds of hours, and plenty of blood, sweat and tears go into producing a fashion show…so just remember that for most of us, Fashion Week is a business - not a party.”

Mariah Carey Preggers??

Congrats may be in order for The Carey's Cannon's. For months speculation have been going around that Mimi and her husband Nick Cannon maybe be expecting, with no official statement from either of them confirming or denying the pregnancy minds can only wonder. Addikted2Fame.com reader went to Mariah's show in Philadelphia this past weekend and said she looks to be about fours months pregnant.


"She didn't officially announce her pregnancy but, she looks to be about four months pregnant. She wasn't doing much moving or dancing"

I can believe it that "HATE U" video was fishy something was up. Keep our baby bump eyes open we should be seeing one in 5, 4, 3..

Shout to DanaeMS for the tip!
