Early estimates of Fukushima's toll

The nuclear accident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi power plant earlier this year released one-tenth the amount of radioactivity as the 1986's Chernobyl disaster. Based on these statistics, about 1,000 extra cancer-related deaths can be expected from the accident, says a U.S. scientist.

George Clooney -- Elisabetta's Angry Text Message Report Is a Lie

Filed under: George Clooney, Elisabetta Canalis, Stacy Keibler, Hook Ups

0928_george_stacey_elisebetta_exGeorge Clooney is doing something he almost never does -- commenting about a report on his romantic life ... in particular, one that claims his ex-gf sent him angry text messages about his new gf.

The report in the current issue of US Weekly ... claims Elisabetta Canalis fired off a series of angry texts to George when she found out he was dating Stacy Keibler.

But George tells TMZ, the story "was completely fabricated in order to sell magazines. I never comment on my personal life unless it affects others...and this lie affects others."

George added this challenge to US Weekly, "Since I would be the only actual witness, I ask you to correct your story immediately, but that would assume you cared at all about telling the truth."

Watch the Goofy, Spoofy Trailer for Upright Citizen Brigade?s Freak Dance

Leader image for Watch the Goofy, Spoofy Trailer for Upright Citizen Brigade's Freak Dance

Comedy troupe Upright Citizen’s Brigade take their sketch and improv hijinks to the feature film format in Freak Dance, a movie that purports to spoof “every dance movie ever made.” Featuring cheesy ’80s fashion and bad ’80s movie attitudes to match, it certainly covers a lot of ground in the dance movie genre. But every dance movie there is? We’ll see about that. Upside: It does have Amy Poehler spitting lines like, ‘That music sounds like murder!’ Check it out after the jump.

The official synopsis:

FREAK DANCE is a dance musical parody in the vein of Electric Boogaloo, Step Up, Dirty Dancing, You Got Served and every other dance movie ever made. The sexy and wealthy Cocolonia must escape her roots and learn to street dance with the help of Funky Bunch, who dreams of being the best dancer ever. They must save the Fantaseez community center from the Building Department and the evil gang banger dancers before it’s too late. Will the duo be able to save their home? Only love can save them now.

Here’s the thing: Freak Dance, co-directed by Matt Besser and Neil Mahoney, seems neither original enough or comprehensive enough in its movie references, and besides, it looks like a mainstream knock-off of the indie flick The F.P. (which had a much more deadpan approach and better faux-period accoutrements) mixed with a touch of Children’s Hospital. I’m not completely sold, and time will tell if Freak Dance is solid enough to make it to audiences; it plays the Austin Film Festival next month and currently has no release date set.

Tom Sizemore -- Proof My Arrest Was a Mistake!

Filed under: Tom Sizemore, Celebrity Justice

0927_sizmore_doc_launch
Tom Sizemore
is adamant ... he never should have been arrested at his L.A. apartment last week -- and TMZ has obtained the actor's proof ... a document stating he completed his required 80 hours of community service.

As we previously reported, cops arrested Tom on an outstanding battery warrant -- for allegedly failing to prove he completed his community service stemming from his 2009 spousal battery case.

But sources close to Sizemore tell us ... the actor insists the warrant was issued in error ... because he has a letter from the Hollenbeck Police Business Council proving he fulfilled his community service obligation.

Sources close to Tom tell TMZ, the actor's old attorney was supposed to file important documents with the court -- showing proof of completion of Tom's community service -- but never did ... so the court issued the warrant.

We're told Tom has hired a new lawyer -- who has filed the proof of completion -- and the clerical mess is finally cleaned up.

Kenny Ortega -- Michael Jackson's Choreographer Testifies
Updated 9/27/11 at 1:50 PM

0927_kenny_ortega_not_ok_video
Michael Jackson's friend and choreographer, Kenny Ortega, just took the stand for the prosecution -- claiming Michael was ill in the days leading to his death ... and Dr. Murray berated him when he expressed concern.

* Ortega -- creator and director of "This Is It" -- says Michael was "very excited" about the show.
* Ortega said in mid to late June, 2009 Michael missed several rehearsals.
* On Friday June 19th, Ortega noticed Michael "wasn't right" and that something was going on. Ortega said it "troubled him." He said Michael seemed lost and was "incoherent."
* Ortega says he sat with Michael as he watched the rehearsals -- rubbing Michael's feet because the singer was freezing cold. Michael left early that day.
* Ortega says he was so worried about Michael, he sent an email to AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips (below) -- saying Michael needed psychological help. 

0927_kenny_ortega_email_video2

*Ortega says he was confronted by Murray during a meeting at Michael's home on June 20th. Murray  told him he was upset Ortega didn't let him rehearse, berating him for acting like a doctor (video below).
* Ortega says on June 23, barely 4 days after Michael was sick, he came to rehearsals full of energy. Ortega said "it was a different Michael."
* On June 25th, Ortega got a phone call from AEG Live Co-CEO Paul Gongaware saying an ambulance had taken Michael to the hospital. Paul called later and told Ortega, "we lost him."
* During cross examination, Ortega told defense attorney Ed Chernoff, Murray was in charge of Michael's schedule leading up to his death.
* When asked whether he thought Michael was abusing drugs, Ortega said yes.
* Ortega said right before June 19th, Michael "went missing for about a week."
* Ortega stepped down subject to recall.

'L-Word' Star BLASTS Southwest -- Our Lesbian Kiss Was NOT Excessive!

Filed under: Leisha Hailey, Celebrity Justice

0927_leisha_hailey_BN
"L-Word" actress Leisha Hailey is firing back at Southwest Airlines -- claiming she and another woman only shared "one modest kiss" on an SWA plane ... before they were wrongly kicked off.

SWA had released a statement yesterday, claiming the flight attendant only booted the girls after passengers complained about "excessive" PDA. But Hailey claims it's all BS.

Hailey and the other female kisser -- who also play in a band together -- released a joint statement saying, "In no way were our actions on Southwest Airlines excessive, inappropriate or vulgar."

They add, "We want to make it clear we were not making out or creating any kind of spectacle of ourselves, it was one, modest kiss."

However, the two admit, "We take full responsibility for getting verbally upset with the flight attendant after being told it was a 'family airline.'”

The statement continues ... "We find it very disturbing that the same airline who lauds itself as being LGBT friendly has twisted an upsetting incident that happened into our behavior being 'too excessive.'"

Both women insist they will be filing a formal complaint with the airline.

Michael Jackson's Son Prince: I'll Testify ... With Strings Attached

Filed under: Prince Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, Conrad Murray, Celebrity Justice, Exclusive, Conrad Murray Trial

0926_prince_jackson_ex
Michael Jackson
's eldest son Prince -- an eyewitness to the horrific scene in the bedroom where his father lost his life -- does not want to testify in the Conrad Murray trial, but he's telling family he'll do what needs to be done to get justice for his departed dad.

Sources close to Prince tell TMZ ... the 14-year-old is "nervous" and worried that if he's called to the stand he might get flustered and "mess up." 

We're told if Prince is called by prosecutors ... Katherine will ask her lawyers to request that the entire courtroom be cleared during his testimony.  Judge Michael Pastor almost certainly will prohibit the media from training a camera on Prince, but it's unlikely he'll clear the courtroom.

As we previously reported, Prince is on the prosecution's witness list, since Dr. Murray summoned Prince to the bedroom for help during the emergency.  When Prince arrived, he dissolved into tears.

The trial starts today.  We'll be livestreaming opening statements.

People vs. Dr. Conrad Murray -- Defense Opening Statements

Filed under: Michael Jackson, Conrad Murray, Ed Chernoff, Celebrity Justice, Conrad Murray Trial

Ed Chernoff -- Defense Attorney's Opening Statement
Updated 9/27/11 at 11:00 AM



Dr. Conrad Murray
's attorney Ed Chernoff told the jury Michael Jackson caused his own death.

* Chernoff says the evidence will show MJ swallowed 8, 2 mg pills of Lorazepam.
* And Chernoff says MJ self-injected a dose or Propofol that created a "perfect storm" that killed him.
* There was no way to save MJ.  He died instantly.
* Chernoff told the jury what TMZ has reported for the last year -- that the centerpiece of the defense case is that Michael's death is on Michael -- not Dr. Murray.
* Chernoff also said MJ "had a problem" that no amount of determination could overcome, even with his talent, and without help he could not do the "This Is It" tour -- a tour that would score him more money than he had ever made on tour before.
* So, Chernoff says, Michael went doctor shopping.
* Dr. Murray is not a "celebrity doctor" -- he's a cardiologist who saves lives.
* The defense will put some of Dr. Murray's patients on the stand to show his level of care.  He would buy prescriptions for people who couldn't afford it and would generally go well above the standard of care expected of a doctor -- which contradicts prosecutors who call him greedy and reckless.  Murray seemed to tear up as he listened to Chernoff.

0927_conrad_crying

* Murray treated MJ for several problems, including toe fungus and a broken foot.
* Chernoff said Murray had no idea at the time that MJ had a much deeper problem
* MJ didn't have insomnia -- he had "an absolute, total and thorough inability to sleep."
* When Murray met with detectives 2 days after MJ's death, he thoroughly answered every question.  It was no holds barred and they hid nothing.  Chernoff said Murray told cops, "I don't know what killed Michael Jackson.  I want to know also."
* Michael Jackson told Murray the only way he could sleep was with Propofol and he always took Propofol.  MJ told Murray exactly how it was to be administered.  He even had a nickname for the drug -- milk.  MJ knew Lidocaine was essential in administering Propofol to prevent a burning sensation.
* MJ told Murray he would use Propofol with or without Murray, so Murray then agreed to provide Propofol.
* Dr. Murray provided Propofol for 2 months for MJ, and during that time the singer slept, woke up, and lived his life -- suggesting it wasn't negligent to administer the drug.
* The evidence is going to show is that Michael Jackson died when Dr. Murray stopped.  Murray told cops he believed his role was to find a way to help MJ sleep normally, urging him to get off Propofol.
* In other words, Murray was trying to ween MJ off Propofol and give him other, more traditional sedatives.  And, on June 22, 3 days before MJ died, Michael agreed to let Murray to try to get him off Propofol. And on that day Murray gave MJ half the Propofol he had been giving him.  And it worked. MJ slept.
* On June 23, Murray gave MJ NO Propofol at all, giving him other drugs instead.  And, on the day MJ died, the plan was not to give Propofol.  It was to go to other sedatives.  That's why in the recording,MJ pleads for the Propofol.  That's why Murray gave him other drugs instead during the night. 
* Chernoff says MJ had certain "personality traits."   He kept various people in life separate from one another. 
* Chernoff will present an addiction specialist, who will testify DR. ARNOLD KLEIN ADDICTED MICHAEL JACKSON TO DEMEROL.
* Things were so serious 5 days before Michael Jackson died, reps from AEG and others had a meeting at MJ's house and talked about "pulling the plug" on the tour.  And subsequently MJ made it clear to Murray -- he needed to sleep or the tour would go down in flames.
* Chernoff insists Murray only gave MJ 25 milligrams of Propofol just before MJ died -- and that is not enough to kill him.  Chernoff says MJ went to sleep, and Murray checked his pulse -- which was good.
Murray then sat and watched and left the room "only when I felt comfortable."  This may be the key to the case -- did Murray abandon MJ by leaving the room?
*  Chernoff says when Murray left the room "there was zero Propofol in his [Michael's] system."  Of course, what Chernoff is arguing is that Michael then shot himself up with the fatal dose.


* Chernoff came back from break the defense will show the amounts that Dr. Murray's death could not cause Michael's death.
* The science will prove there had to be more Propofol delivered to MJ's system after Dr. Murray left the room.
*The defense says MJ's stomach content had 4 times the amount of Lorazepam than in his blood, which means Michael would had to swallow the drug himself, after Murray left the room.
