Conrad Murray Charged in Michael Jackson Death

Dr. Conrad Murray has just been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.

Conrad Murray

According to the criminal complaint, the D.A. alleges Dr. Murray "did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson ... in the commission of an unlawful act, not a felony; and in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner, and without due caution and circumspection."

Dr. Murray will be arraigned today at 1:30 PM. As we first reported, he will plead not guilty.

Dr. Murray is expected to show up at around 1:00 PM, accompanied by his lawyers and a bail bondsman. Bail should be set at $25,000.

Dr. Murray administered Propofol to Jackson just before he died, and the L.A. County Coroner's Office has determined Jackson died as a result of acute Propofol intoxication.

If convicted, Dr. Murray faces a maximum of four years in prison.

Gary Coleman Cops a Plea in Domestic Case

Gary Coleman was hit with a small fine today after pleading guilty to one count of domestic violence criminal mischief in Utah -- and will avoid jail time if he follows a short list of rules.

As part of the deal, Coleman -- who was arrested in April after an alleged altercation with his wife -- was sentenced to 31 1/2 days in jail, but will avoid going to the pokey if he pays a $595 fine and completes a domestic violence course.

Coleman -- who turned 42 today -- had his domestic violence assault charge dismissed.

Dr. Conrad Murray -- Read All About Me

Less than an hour ago ... before he's charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson, Dr. Conrad Murray stopped by a coffee shop to read the paper ...and, we assume, get a cup of java.

When you're being accused of contributing to the death of the most beloved musician of a generation, the last thing you want to do in front of the judge is yawn.

TMZ spoke with an employee for the team shop, who told us from the minute the Super Bowl ended, it's been "crazy and overwhelming."

The shop has since gone back online -- but the team is warning fans that Super Bowl merchandise may take several weeks for delivery due to "high demand."

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Sue over Split Story

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will sue News of the World for reporting the couple was splitting up.



It's pretty clear News of the World was wrong. Exhibit A: This pic of the couple making out at the Super Bowl.

The tabloid published a report January 24 that Pitt and Jolie had called it quits and agreed to custody and property division.

The London lawyers for Pitt and Jolie, Keith Schillings, called the report a "false and intrusive allegation."

Schillings said News of the World refused to retract the story.

Dr. Conrad Murray to Judge -- I'm 'Not Guilty'

Dr. Conrad MurrayMichael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, will plead not guilty Monday morning when he is arraigned on involuntary manslaughter charges ... sources tell TMZ.

We're told the plan is for Dr. Murray to arrive at the courthouse 20 - 30 minutes before the arraignment -- which sources tell us will be at 1:30 PM PT. He will surrender voluntarily.

Law enforcement sources tell us 20 L.A. County Sheriff's deputies will be at the courthouse, some of whom will be evident and some who will not. We're told the Sheriff's Department has had its security plan in place for a while, in part because of crowd control concerns and partly because of security issues surrounding Dr. Murray.

We're told there is a concern about Dr. Murray's safety because of intense feeling on the part of some Michael Jackson fans that Dr. Murray killed the singer.

As we first reported, Dr. Murray will be accompanied by a bail bondsman who will post bail -- expected to be $25,000.

Our sources say Dr. Murray will not waive his right to a preliminary hearing.

Following arraignment and booking, we're told Dr. Murray will leave L.A. and go either to Las Vegas or Houston.

Plea Bargain Possible in Charlie Sheen Case

Charlie SheenCharlie Sheen will be charged with a felony Monday in the Christmas day incident with wife Brooke Mueller, but the case may never go to trial because of the possibility of a plea bargain.

We broke the story that Sheen will be charged with felony menacing and misdemeanor assault when he is arraigned Monday afternoon in Aspen court. Our sources say Charlie would be open to a plea bargain if the plea involves a misdemeanor. We're also told -- although the prosecution and defense can negotiate a plea deal -- no plea would be entered for 60 days from Monday.

Better news for Charlie and Brooke on the home front. We're told relaxing the protective order that bars Charlie and Brooke from communicating or having contact with each other is just a formality -- it should take two minutes for the judge to modify the order.

The plan is for Charlie and Brooke to fly back to L.A. on Monday after the hearing and begin living together again.
