The actor’s tactics could bode ill for his future at CBS. Rumors have surfaced that, despite all the trash-talk, the network is attempting to re-hire him after publicly kicking him to the curb.

Turns out, Lindsay Lohan didn’t need to wait out the judge’s March 25 deadline -- she’s already made her mind up about the plea deal.
And, it’s a no go. Linds made her wishes known on Wednesday by refusing to take jail time, though she would have served approximately 19 days, in favor of taking the case to trial. Lindsay Lohan is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on April 22. This will determine whether or not she should be charged with felony grand theft for allegedly stealing a necklace totaling $2,500.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues,
His legal defense seemed a little shaky from the word go.
Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who cared for pop star Michael Jackson during the singer’s final days, has been ordered to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter. Murray claimed that Jackson injected himself with a lethal dose of Propofol, but the judge has ruled that Murray's case will continue.
Meanwhile, Murray has been stripped of his medical license. Members of the Jackson family (Katherine, Janet, La Toya, Jackie, Jermaine and Marlon) were present during last week’s hearing, which ended in the current ruling. “I’m happy so far,” said La Toya of the events.
Testimony in the hearing took six days, where more than 20 witnesses were heard for the prosecution. No witnesses were called for the defense during the hearing.
