Last Update on 02-09-2010 at 06:19:10from Eyewitness News Online Michael Jackson's Doctor Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter LOS ANGELES Michael Jackson's doctor is pleading not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death. Dr. Conrad Murray showed up to court in Los Angeles yesterday. One person shouted "murderer" as he approached. Murray's bail was set at $75,000, three times more than what most people facing a similar charge get. Murray could face up to four years in prison if convicted. Jackson's father, Joe, his mother, Katherine, and siblings LaToya, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Randy sat in the courtroom behind prosecutors. Joe Jackson told reporters, "Looking for justice." Officials say Murray gave Jackson a powerful anesthetic and two sedatives to help him sleep.
LOS ANGELES Not only do the contestants on "American Idol" get their first look at Hollywood tonight, they get their first look at Ellen. Ellen DeGeneres will join the judges' panel beginning with tonight's episode as the contestants go through Hollywood Week. DeGeneres tells AmericanIdol.com she didn't pursue being a judge and she suspects she was considered because she was a guest judge on "So You Think You Can Dance." DeGeneres says she plans to represent everybody at home who may not have a background in music but buy music. She says if a singer is awful, she'll say so, but in a nice way. Pete Townshend Reflects On Super Bowl Performance MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. In spite of having the entire stadium singing along to "Baba O'Rily," Pete Townshend felt The Who's Super Bowl performance was not about them at all. Townshend says, "You could kind of tell from the stage the crowd is really here for the game." He's fine with that. He says it was "nice to feel a part of something and not having it all to be about us." But come on, aren't rock stars all about themselves? Townshend says, "We're too far gone to care." Sick Puppies Recall Hitting The Big Time CHICAGO Sick Puppies singer Shim Moore knew he was becoming something when the cool kid from school tried to play his music. Moore says the guy approached him and said he was learning one of Moore's songs. Moore corrected him on the guitar tabs. Moore says it was a trip not just to have that guy talk to him, but Moore had to teach him the right way to play. Moore says he knew then they were going beyond just being a garage band.
