ABC also has photos of MJ's leg with a terrible sore on it--and evidence that he really had vitiligo. But all of this is really too much for me. It's like picking over the carcass at this point.

ACK! Hope "Malik" will be ok. Always liked his character.

Bunch of MJ articles here http://www.tmz.com/2009/07/15/lapd-treating-jackson-death-a-homicide/ and talk of treating the death as a homicide. :-(

There's no doubt that commercial caused him a great deal of pain.

A local radio station (KFI in Los Angeles) just made an announcement that they've learned that an announcement of a homocide investigation in the Michael Jackson death could come from LAPD as early as this afternoon.

I've been busy on the phone, but had CNN on pause and I see a promo at 3:27pm board time that says "Developing Story: JACKSON CASE NOT A HOMICIDE PROBE Police" reports are wrong.

Sea...they don't announce it until they have enough evidence to do so. The first of the toxicology reports are due tonight or tomorrow. Those reports might give enough evidence to deem it a homocide. Until then, they don't call it that.

I won't be too very surprised if it does end up as one. Too much is just wrong about this death and the circumstances surrounding it. Those drugs should never have been in a private home.

You must remember that homicide does not translate to murder.

I'm confused. If homicide isn't murder, what is it? I looked it up and the definition is:

1. the killing of one human being by another.
2. a person who kills another; murderer.

I think what they would be aiming for in this case (if true) is manslaughter which comes under the heading of homicide but does not necessarily include having the intention to kill. IE the doctor injecting MJ with a drug that had the effect of killing him then the doctor committed homicide specifically involuntary manslaughter.

Not exactly entertainment but it was discussed and what a sad and somewhat predictable outcome..

Gumby, Rissa is correct: Murder is done with the intent of causing death. Homicide is the accidental killing of someone.

Per HLN - Walter Cronkite has passed away at the age of 92.
Would put it in the Passings thread, but I can't seem to find it.

It's in the Free Expression section, Snoops. When there were all the deaths a week or so ago they mentioned him as ailing.

I have met Frank McCourt a number of times and always struck me as such a sad person. He faced a lot of challenges in his family life which took its toll on him.

NEW YORK, July 16 (UPI) -- Pulitzer Prize-winning author Frank McCourt, who has been battling melanoma, is also suffering from meningitis and is in a New York hospice, his brother said.

"Frank was OK for a bit and we had hopes for a while after the treatment for melanoma, but the meningitis turned it all around, turned it topsy-turvy," Malachy McCourt told the Irish Echo newspaper Tuesday.

McCourt said relatives from around the world are arriving in New York to see Frank, a 78-year-old former teacher, actor and the author of the blockbuster book "Angela's Ashes."

McCourt told the newspaper his family wishes to keep private the location of the hospice where his brother is staying.

I had the extreme pleasure of hearing Mr. McCourt this past fall and he signed my Teacher Man book. He looked rather frail at that point, but this is just horrible news. :-(

Well, 78 is not a bad age to live to, considering Frank's early start and his state of health as a child. I met him too at our annual writer's convention, and have a picture taken with a colleague, myself, and Frank in the middle. He's a sweetie.

OMG! Perez is reporting that Paula won't be back on Idol! But it looks like there still may be a small chance. Taping doesn't start until Aug 6.

MY proposal is that Paula continues on AI and Perez just goes AWAY.

It's probably just a negotiation ploy. She would be crazy not to stay with it. LOL - Remember Dunkleman?
