Conrad Murray asks judge for a court-appointed attorney to appeal his involuntary manslaughter conviction.
By Gil Kaufman
<P>Just weeks after being sent to jail for <a href="/news/articles/1675062/conrad-murray-sentence.jhtml">four years</a> following a conviction on a felony involuntary manslaughter charge in the death of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/jackson_michael/artist.jhtml" target="_blank">Michael Jackson</a>, cardiologist Conrad Murray is throwing himself on the mercy of the court. </P><P> </P><P>The doctor had been slated to earn up to $150,000 a month to act as Jackson's personal physician before the pop icon's death in June 2009 from an overdose of the Murray-administered surgical anesthetic propofol. But on Tuesday <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/conrad_murray_in_shackles_asks/280479" target="_blank"><I>E! News</I></a> reported that Murray filed a <a href="/news/articles/1675343/conrad-murray-conviction-appeal.jhtml">notice of appeal</a> in Los Angeles Superior Court in which he claimed that he is "indigent and respectfully requests the appointment of counsel on appeal." </P><P> </P><P>Murray, 58, is planning to appeal both his conviction and his sentence, but has not yet filed papers with the California Appeals Court. He had hired two lawyers to handle his manslaughter case, but is now seeking attorneys with appeal experience. One of those former lawyers, J. Michael Flanagan, told E! that he was shocked at how his client is being treated in jail. </P><P> </P><P>"It is crazy and unbelievable how [the sheriffs] are treating" Murray in jail, said Flanagan, who claimed he waited over an hour to see Murray, who was brought out in handcuffs and leg chains. Flanagan was further shocked to see Murray handcuffed to the table for their meeting, something the lawyer said he'd never seen before in the case of a low-level, non-violent offender. </P><P> </P><P>Charles Peckham, who is handling civil cases against Murray, told the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/doctor-convicted-in-michael-jacksons-death-seeking-court-paid-attorney-for-appeal/2011/12/13/gIQAHIYGsO_story.html" target="_blank"><I>Associated Press</I></a> that his client is under tight security and isolation that is more intense than other inmates at the Los Angeles Men's Central Jail. </P><P> </P><P>"Treating him like Hannibal Lecter is offensive," said Peckham. "This man who saved lives made a mistake, and they're going to [make] him pay like a mass-murderer." Sheriff's officials defended the tight security, saying it was for Murray's safety.</p>

Former SNL ‘Weekend Update’ anchor Seth Meyers made his debut as the host of ‘Late Night with guests, Amy Poehler and Vice President Joe Bieden, taking over the program from Jimmy Fallon. Now the television critics have had their say. Check out a roundup of reviews.
With the new host of ‘Late Night’ the transition is complete. Jay Leno departs — for good this time — Jimmy Fallon takes over ‘The Tonight Show’ and Seth Meyers takes over ‘Late Night.’ Somehow it’s almost like talking about the transfer of power in a government!
The 40-year-old Seth Meyers makes arguably a bigger transition than Jimmy Fallon. It marks his first time hosting an hour-long late-night television program, or a program on TV of any kind, for that matter. The long-time head writer of ‘Saturday Night Live’ had also been its ‘Weekend Update’ anchor for several years.
He began the inaugural night of the show with a cold open that an homage to Jimmy Fallon’s famous ‘Thank You Notes’ segment. Naturally, he thanked Fallon for moving on so that he could host the show. And from there, with his new bandleader, also a Saturday Night Live alum, Fred Armisen — the show was off and running, with monologue and two lively guests — Amy Poehler and Vice President Joe Bieden — who strangely enough had been on the same set, as Biden made a cameo appearance on ‘Parks & Recreation’ as himself. This led to several jokes including speculation on a future collaboration; “Snakes on a Train.” Biden, of course, had a chance to make an announcement that he was not going to make an announcement that night as to whether or not he would run for President in 2016.
Rather than picking a legendary musical guest — as did Jimmy Fallon with ‘The Tonight Show’ as U2 gave a first-ever 30 Rock rooftop performance — Seth Meyers’ first musical guests were the breakthrough duo A Great Big World whose single became a worldwide smash when they teamed up to rerecord it with Christina Aguilera (who was not present for the performance).
As for the television critics, the reviews were mixed, but most noted Seth Meyers’ strengths even as they pointed out the weaknesses. Here is a roundup.
“…..Seth Meyers still doesn’t have a thing. But he has the potential for a good one. He has the potential to complicate the unfailing friendliness of Jimmy Fallon by peppering in a little bite. Wasn’t that, after all, what made Meyers’s work on SNL so great? The danger and naughtiness that the weekend allows for and that we all hoped he’d bring over to week nights?…..” — The Daily Beast
“….Meyers, for his own part, seems thoroughly an adult, playful but self-possessed. At 40, he is six years older than Fallon was when he took the job, and had been a head writer at “SNL” since 2005. (Fallon is 39 now, but forever a puppy dog.) Where Fallon’s first episode of “Late Night,” following O’Brien’s 16 years in the chair, felt both tentative and unproductively busy, Meyers — though he admitted in the days leading up to the premiere to being nervous — was shaky only fleetingly. He stuck his landings. He was cool, but clearly having fun…..” — L.A. Times
“….Newly minted “Late Night” host Seth Meyers hit a few early potholes during his inaugural show Monday night — but eventually found his sea legs and drove his new 12:35 p.m. show to a solid, if unspectacular, debut…These are very small nits to pick, and Meyers will be fine. He’s charming with a certain “aw shucks” demeanor that doesn’t seem forced or contrived and he’ll have plenty of time to grow into his new role as a late-night host….” — New York Post
“….Meyers was still yelling like a fake newscaster, not talking like a real host. He favored snappy bits that cut to the chase like his Update jokes. The segment “Venn Diagram” found the middle ground in two apparently unlikely things: Russia and the NBA (“Places That Are More Gay-Friendly Than Arizona”), Nicki Minaj and Hoarders (“Lots of Junk in the Trunk”), Snow and Toilet Paper (“Things You Won’t Find in Sochi.”) He looked a bit nervous. His left hand kept jittering. (It recalled that old Jack Donaghy line: “What do I do with my arms?”)…..” — Entertainment Weekly
“…. On the plus side, Meyers came across as relaxed and loose, riffing on his show’s micro-budget and acknowledging the jokes that fell flat. The writing, however, simply wasn’t that strong — with a preponderance of uninspired Olympic gags — which seems especially weak given the front-loading and extra preparation time that inevitably goes into an opening night for this sort of venture…..” — Variety
And with the first night of the show that all-important debut out of the way, Seth Meyers reaches phase two of the venture, as critics and media will make note of ratings at that 12:35 a.m. time slot which sees him competing with CBS’ ‘Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. And, there will be the inevitable comparisons with his predecessors, Jimmy Fallon most notably as well as Conan O’Brien and David Letterman who were the previous hosts.

No, it's probably not considered the Golden Age of Hollywood, but it is safe to say that the '80s brought us more than enough films to stand the test of time. Whether you relate to the Brat Pack or Detective John McClane, you've probably got a few favorites that make you squeal when they show up (again and again) on AMC or TBS. And if you ever come across a film you don't recognize, just use this handy checklist to determine if you're indeed watching '80s gold.

Liam Neeson opened up about the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson in a ’60 Minutes’ interview with Anderson Cooper. The veteran actor and action movie star spoke with candor five years after the tragic accident that claimed the actress’ life and spoke on other topics in the wide-ranging interview.
*Updated with full interview video below.
The 61-year-old Liam Neeson has brought the gravitas that won him critical acclaim in such movies as ‘Schindler’s List’ to the action adventure genre, notably the ‘Taken’ franchise. As a couple he and his 45-year-old wife Natasha Richardson — the daughter of acting legend Vanessa Redgrave and the late director Tony Richardson — were in the prime of their respective careers.
But suddenly, she lost her life in a freak skiing accident in Quebec, Canada. She suffered an epidural hematoma, causing swelling of the brain which left her brain dead.
He spoke with Anderson Cooper in the ’60 Minutes’ interview about the final hours of his wife’s life saying, “She was on life support…I went in to her and I told her I loved her, said ‘Sweetie, you’re not coming back from this, you’ve banged your head’…she and I had made a pact, if any of us got into a vegetative state that we’d pull the plug…that was my immediate thought…’Okay, these tubes have to go. She’s gone.’”
He went on to speak about how he had donated three of her organs, “so she’s keeping three people alive at the moment…her heart, her kidneys and her liver. It’s terrific…and I think she would be very thrilled and pleased by that.”
He also opened up about his grief. He said that her death “was never real. It still kind of isn’t.” He went on to say, “There’s periods now in our New York residence when I hear the door opening, especially the first couple of years…anytime I hear that door opening, I still think I’m going to hear her.”
Of his grief, he said, “It hits you. It’s like a wave. You just get this profound feeling of instability…the Earth isn’t stable anymore and then it passes and it becomes more infrequent, but I still get it sometimes.”
Natasha Richardson was in the comedy ‘Wild Child’ with costar Emma Roberts which became her last screen appearance. She was also the mother of the couple’s children, two sons Micheal and Daniel.
Liam Neeson is the star of the upcoming thriller ‘Non Stop’ in which he portrays an air marshal embroiled in a terrorist hijacking plot. In the ’60 Minutes’ interview he shared his thoughts about being an action star at age 61. An addition segment sees him return to his native Northern Ireland and reminiscing about his upbringing.
*Update: the full replay video and the ’60 Minutes Overtime’ video — in which Liam Neeson and Anderson Cooper have a conversation about grief — have been added below.

Black Eyed Peas mastermind teases a collabo with the pop princess on #willpower, set for 2012 release.
By Jocelyn Vena
<P>In a sea of A-list contributions for will.i.am's forthcoming solo album, the Black Eyed Peas mastermind recently dropped one name that will really get pop fans excited. Speaking with <a href="http://www.capitalfm.com/artists/william/news/britney-spears-alicia-keys-new-album/" target="_blank">Capital FM</a>, will teased that his <i>Femme Fatale</i> collaborator Britney Spears will make an appearance on the album, dubbed <i>#willpower.</i> </P><P> </P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Britney Hits The Studio With will.i.am" id="vid:638813" width="240" height="211"></div><p> </P><P> </P><P>"I have a song with Alicia Keys — me, Alicia and Swedish House Mafia. I have a song with the Beats, which is pretty grand. Me and Shakira have been trying to finish the stuff we started, and me and Britney is really crazy," he said. "So we got a song with me, LMFAO and Eva Simons, a song with me and Busta Rhymes and Swizz Beatz — I got a whole other bunch of collaborations." </P><P> </P><P>Spears and will.i.am last worked together on "Big Fat Bass," a spacey, grinding party tune complete with clapping noises and some rapping from will himself. Their recording session was featured on the MTV special <a href="/news/articles/1660830/britney-spears-femme-fatale-previews.jhtml">"I Am the Femme Fatale."</a> There's been no word yet from will's camp about the song and whether this is a new track or if he will be including "Big Fat Bass" on the album. </P><P> </P><P>The rapper/producer's love for Brit is hardly anything new: He <a href="/news/articles/1662289/britney-spears-will-i-am-big-fat-bass.jhtml">gushed to MTV News about the pop princess</a> months after they recorded together. "[I discovered] her love for music. I never seen anyone, like, come alive, full of excitement and giggling and laughing behind the mic," will recalled to MTV News. "She was like a little kid when she was recording the song, and it just brought the whole atmosphere, it changed the whole atmosphere when someone really loves music. So it was great working with her." </P><P> </P><P>His latest single, "T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)," featuring Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger, dropped late last year. <i>#willpower,</i> which also features "X Factor" judge Nicole Scherzinger, will be released later this year. </P><P> </P><P><i>What are you expecting from will and Brit's collabo? Let us know in the comments!</i></p>
