Harvey, Mike, Max and Rick were on live today -- where they answered questions on the Heene family's past run-ins with the law, went on a random Charles Manson tangent and hit on Harvey's "pathetic" book sales.
Plus -- how our Mel Gibson DUI story is causing a giant first amendment controversy, a debate over "The Best Song Ever Written, Harvey says "Save the Pigs!" and breaking Khloe and Lamar news.

TMZ has obtained a photo of Charles Manson's Death Valley hideout after a mysterious fire gutted the infamous building earlier this week.
The fire completely gutted the inside of the structure known as Barker Ranch -- officials are unclear if it was set intentionally. An investigation is under way.
Back in '69, Manson and his gang of murderers retreated to the cabin after slaughtering Sharon Tate and seven others. Manson was arrested at the cabin -- and the structure has since become a tourist attraction.
Officials tell us they're already getting offers from groups who want to rebuild it.

Charles Manson is notorious for leading the depraved Manson family, who committed the heinous Tate/LaBianca murders in 1969. Guess what he looks like now.

The 74-year-old resurfaced at California's Corcoran State Prison, looking like any other despicable crazed elderly maniac with a swastika carved into his forehead.
Manson was initially sentenced to death in 1971, but it was reduced to life imprisonment in 1972.
Manson has been denied parole 11 times and is not eligible again until 2012.

One of them slaughtered $1.2 million on an engagement ring for Jennifer Lopez.
We're just sayin'!

Get out your Ouija boards -- we got a séance going on!
Last night, on the 39th anniversary of the notorious Manson murders, a group of level-headed people gathered just doors from the place Charlie Manson's followers paid a visit back in '69. Their mission -- to contact the spirits of Sharon Tate and the four others who were slaughtered.
Those inside the séance claim a figurine fell from a shelf, and when they all went to the basement everyone's back started to ache. Sadly, our cameras caught none of that -- but we did witness lights flickering.

Manson Family member Susan Atkins should not become a free woman, at least if the L.A. County D.A. has his way.
Atkins, who has been diagnosed with brain cancer and may have only six months to live, has applied for Compassionate Release Consideration.
D.A. Steve Cooley says not good enough, noting that Atkins was front and center for the Sharon Tate murders back in '69. Atkins personally stabbed Tate, tasted her blood and used it to write "PIG" on the front door.
Cooley claims Atkins "has failed to demonstrate genuine remorse and lacks insight and understanding of the gravity of her crimes."
Atkins received the death penalty but it was commuted to life after the California death penalty was ruled unconstitutional.
The Board of Prison Terms hearing is tomorrow in Sacramento.

Mr. Scientology, Mr. Helter Skelter and Mr. Cigar are all "musicians" who made Blender's most recent compilation of irresistible trivia. "Don't Quit Your Day Jobs" is the most recent Blender list worth a gander. Athletes, cult leaders, corporate heads (aren't they sort of cult leaders?) and politicians are all cutting loose in their free time to kick out the jams. Of course, I didn't realize being a cult leader was a "job", but I guess it is hard work misleading tending to one's flock.
I had no idea David Koresh played guitar. I wonder if he got spurned by record labels the way Charlie Manson did? Imagine if Manson had gotten a deal...lives may have been saved and he'd be opening for the Beach Boys on reunion tours instead of headlining a jail cell in Corcoran State Prison. Imagine the supergroup those two could have formed?
Speaking of supergroups...how about 'swingin' Ron Artest and Roy Jones, Jr. Both are not only fighters (ok, only Jones is supposed to be fighting), but both rock the mic - at least in their minds. These would be rappers are prime examples of athletes with too much money and time on their hands. Of course, neither has as much green as some of the corporate board room types known to get up on stage. Microsoft co-founder - i.e. one super rich dude - Paul Allen apparently once trashed a glass guitar at the opening of Seattle's Experience Music Project. Very rock and roll! And, if you got that kind of bank, by all means retire and jam your heart out.
No one in Gen X will forget William Jefferson Clinton's sax performance on Arsenio Hall's late night show that garnered him some serious street cred among young voters. I remember one staunch Republican in my National Guard Unit citing it as a reason to raise the voting age so these impressionable kids couldn't vote based on thinking someone was cool. It's a good thing that type of policy hasn't been adopted, otherwise we'd just have the Lawrence Welk set who groove to the sounds of stiffies like John Ashcroft. Actually, I'm glad he did quit his day job! Now if only Orrin Hatch would follow...
Blender's complete list is here. Somehow I'm betting none of these folks make it on Blender's 20 Songs You Should Download list.
