This is hilarious:

Less than a week after Alex Reid tied the knot with Katie Price, the cage fighter reportedly wants out. The reason? He had no idea he was flying to Las Vegas to get married!

Sources claim Reid’s advisors are searching for a legal loophole that will enable him to annul the marriage: “He feels he was pressured and hadn’t had time to consider all the implications,” an insider said.

Alex Reid has a good body. Good taste in women? Not so much.

The story gets even better:

A spokesperson for Price, whose marriage to Peter Andre fell apart amidst a series of tabloid accusations, said his client and Reid did plan on getting hitched… but Price organized the event while Reid was secluded in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

“Alex and Kate had always intended to get married, but the Vegas trip was spontaneous and Alex didn’t know about it,” the rep said.

A friend says Reid was drunk for the Vegas ceremony, “which could have clouded his thoughts.” That still doesn’t explain what he sees in Price to begin with, of course.

This is an attention-starved same woman, after all, that made up a story about a celebrity raping her. Seriously.

No one on the planet is thankful for the existence of Dr. Conrad Murray… but if anyone could find a silver lining in that physician’s involvement in Michael Jackson’s death, it’s Charlie Sheen.

That’s because Murray’s arraignment today on charges of involuntary manslaughter overshadowed the fact that Sheen was also in court.

As a result of his Christmas Day confrontation with wife Brooke Mueller, the actor was charged with three crimes in an Aspen court: felony menacing, misdemeanor third degree assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief.

Sheen did not enter a plea.

The judge did relax the protective order that has been in place against Charlie since December 25; he can now communicate and have contact with Mueller.

The couple embraced each other at the conclusion of the hearing and Sheen is due back in court in March.




In a follow-up to a story we posted earlier today, Conrad Murray has been officially charged with involuntary manslaughter and has entered a plea of not guilty.

The documents were filed in court today by the Los Angeles District Attorney, who alleges Murray “did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson.” Those are haunting words just to read, aren’t they?

Meanwhile, the county coroner released his official findings at the hearing and there’s no doubt about it: a lethal dosage of Propofol killed the singer. Eleven vials of the drug were found in Jackson’s home, and none of had prescription directions, patient or doctor names.

According to the coroner’s report, obtained by TMZ, homicide is cited as the cause of death because…

  1. The setting of Jackson’s bedroom (e.g.  a chair alongside the bed) indicate the drugs were not self-administered.
  2. Propofol was injected in a non-hospital setting, without any appropriate medical indication.
  3. Suggested equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation were not present.

After the DA originally asked for bail to be set at $300,000, the judge set it at $75,000. He forced Murray to hand over his passport and decreed that the doctor cannot be in possession of, or prescribe, anesthetics.

Even if Murray is acquitted of these criminal charges, the family can sue Murray for millions, according to Bill Newkirk, a lawyer who specializes inmedical malpractice.

“This is absolutely a slam-dunk malpractice case simply because of the alleged use of propofol. If the drug was indeed in his system, no competent doctor could justify why it was used. You can bet the Jackson family will be filing a civil claim soon against any doctors implicated in Jackson’s medical care.”
