Jacksons Guard: Physician Collected Vials From Jacksons Nightstand Before 911 Call

La, Calif. -- The very first bodyguard to achieve Michael Jacksons bed room following the performers physician known as for help claimed Thursday he was relayed through the doctor to collect medicine vials before calling 911. Alberto Alvarez stated Dr. Conrad Murray snapped up the vials from the nightstand alongside Jackson, who had been still in the mattress. He stated Here, put these inside a bag. Alvarez stated of Murray. Alvarez stated in the beginning he thought he wasbagging the products when preparing for a visit to the hospital. He stated he reliable Murray while he would be a physician. During my personal expertise, I thought Dr. Murray had the very best intentions for Mr. Jackson, Alvarez stated. I didnt question his authority. Deputy Da David Walgren demonstrated Alvarez and jurors a vial of propofol as the bodyguard was around the stand in the third day's Murrays involuntary wrongful death trial. Murray has pleaded not liable. Jurors intently checked out the bottle, which made an appearance to still contain some liquid. Prosecutors are calling key witnesses so that they can show Murray postponed calling government bodies at the time the King of Pop was discovered lifeless and was set on camouflaging signs he have been giving the singer doses from the surgical anesthetic. Sometimes throughout Alvarezs testimony, he looked directly at Murray, who from time to time passed notes to his attorney. When he joined the bed room, Alvarez stated, he saw Jacksons eyes were open and was surprised to determine the singer was putting on a condom catheter, a medical device that enables someone to urinate without needing to wake up. Alvarez claimed that Murray only told him Jackson were built with a bad reaction. Walgren performed Alvarezs 911 demand jurors. Hes moving the chest area, but hes not reacting to anything, mister, Alvarez told the dispatcher, advocating these phones send an ambulance rapidly. He stated, after hanging track of dispatchers, he carried out chest compressions on Jackson while Murray gave the singer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation efforts. The physician remarked it had been his very first time carrying out the process. I must, Alvarez remembered Murray telling him, this really is my pal. Earlier, Alvarez claimed that Jackson is at good spirits in a testing around the evening before he died. He was happy, Alvarez claimed. I actually do recall he is at excellent spirits. Prosecutors happen to be calling witnesses who have been with Jackson and Murray your day the singer died. Government bodies accuse Murray of giving Jackson a lethal dose from the anesthetic propofol within the bed room. The jury has become a glimpse in to the artists inner sanctum through photos and testimony. Alvarezs testimony will probably be challenged by Murrays defense lawyers, who on Wednesday asked Jacksons mind of security and also the performers personal assistant about why they didnt reveal certain particulars concerning the day Jackson died to police not less than two several weeks. Defense lawyer Erectile dysfunction Chernoff requested Faheem Muhammad and Michael Amir Williams about whether or not they contacted Alvarez before their interviews with detectives. Williams, who had been Jacksons personal assistant, stated his interview with detectives have been postponed. He claimed he received an urgent telephone call from Murray at the time of Jacksons dying but wasnt told to call 911. He known as Muhammad, who then sent Alvarez to Jacksons bed room around the second floor from the performers leased mansion within the ritzy Holmby Hillsides neighborhood of La. The area was off-limits to Jacksons staff, and Muhammad paused before racing in the stairs after reaching the mansion right before paramedics showed up. He referred to a heart-wrenching scene. At that time, he stated, Jackson have been taken off his mattress and was on the ground, where Murray, sweaty and frantic, was carrying out CPR. Alvarez was pacing nervously, Muhammad told the jury. When he saw Jackson close up, he understood why. What have you observe about his face, district attorney David Walgren requested That his eyes were open, Muhammad stated. That his mouth was slightly open. Did he seem to be dead, Walgren requested. Yes. The bodyguard soon observed that Jacksons children, Prince and Paris, had collected through the entrance. Paris was on the floor, balled up crying, Muhammad stated. He brought the kids from the room, after which right into a suv so that they could stick to the ambulance towards the hospital. A few of the moments recounted by Muhammad will probably be repeated Thursday as prosecutors work to complete other particulars about Murrays behavior after finding Jackson unconscious. Also likely to testify on Thursday are Kai Chase, a chef who spoke to Murray briefly around the morning of Jacksons dying, and paramedics who also attempted to bring back the singer. The medics thought Jackson had been dead when they showed up, but Murray was adamant the artist automatically get to a hospital for further resuscitation efforts. Prosecutors contend Murray didn't tell the security officers or emergency personnel he have been giving Jackson propofol along with other sedative drugs to assist him sleep. Chernoff stated in opening claims that Jackson gave themself the lethal dose. A lot of the trial in later periods will target the science of the items wiped out Jackson, and dueling ideas of Murrays role. Copyright 2011 by Connected Press.

Casey Affleck to play angel Gabriel in Paradise Lost

He's often at his best playing eerily sinister roles, but Casey Affleck is in negotiations to star as one of the ultimate good guys in the new movie take on John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost.Affleck is in line to play Gabriel, an angel who joins forces with Michael (Benjamin Walker) in the ultimate battle with Lucifer (Bradley Cooper), after the fallen one launches a full-scale assault on God.You can banish any memories of interminable English literature lessons though, as this is going to be a 3D action epic as opposed to a boring sermon.Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City, Knowing) is directing and the shoot is expected to begin in January 2012 in Sydney.Deadline are also reporting that Camilla Belle (The Ballad Of Jack And Rose, 10,000 BC) has signed on to play Eve, of 'Adam and...' fame, in a storyline that runs parallel to the angelic warfare.It's interesting that Proyas seems to be largely casting against type (it would have been more obvious were Cooper and Affleck's roles switched) so it'll be interesting to see the results.Paradise Lost is expected to open in late 2013. Casey Affleck will next be seen in Brett Ratner's Tower Heist.

Because he was so desperate, Depardieu attempted to urinate into a bottle. "I'm not a monster, I'm just a man who wants to pee," he said.Sadly, some of it accidentally spilled onto the floor. But Mr Depardieu had an explanation for that, too. "The bottle was too small. I am an elephant."But don't just read about it - we beg you to watch the full video below, mainly because it'll make you openly weep with laughter.Depardieu's impression of an amateur journalist is particularly hilarious but, let's face it, this 5-minute interview is funnier than most 90-minute comedies.Mr. Depardieu, you are a legend, sir.

The Kid Thing

A Chicago Dramatists and About Face Theater presentation of a play in two acts by Sarah Gubbins. Directed by Joanie Schultz.Darcy - Kelli SimpkinsLeigh - Park KrausenNate - Halena KaysMargot - Rebekah Ward-HaysJacob - Steve O'ConnellTwo lesbian couples contemplate parenthood in Sarah Gubbins' "The Kid Thing," a play that smartly mixes debate and drama, argument and psychological revelation. One moment, the friends are talking rationally about the benefits of being transparent to a child about a sperm donor dad, and the next they are barely hanging on to civility as a character's carefully subdued fears and desires rush to the surface. The opening scene catalyzes the drama in a manner not unlike Donald Margulies "Dinner With Friends," as, at the end of a meal, lesbian couple Nate (Halena Kays) and Margot (Rebekah Ward-Hays) reveal to their good friends Leigh (Park Krausen) and Darcy (Kelli Simpkins) the fact that Margot is pregnant. Leigh, best pals with Nate for many years, is thrilled; Darcy is just plain shocked, her quickly established verbosity, often tinged with judgmental condescension, turned instantly to speechlessness. For the impulsive Leigh, the event makes her immediately want to pursue having a child; for the butch, conservative Darcy, the discovery forces her to deal with layers of issues, from her concerns of both financial and emotional readiness to unspoken doubts about her relationship to, ultimately, more deep-seated psychological questions about her own self-worth. While maintaining a solid grip on the play's fundamental realism, Gubbins does allow the work to bounce around a bit in tone. The first act moves along solidly but traditionally, with revelations of an affair among the foursome and with Leigh moving forward with planning for a child, even determining that she should share the same sperm donor as Nate and Margot. The second act begins with more comic sequences, introducing the willing sperm donor Jacob (an excellent Steve O'Connell), who must navigate very different agendas from Leigh and Darcy. In these very strong segments the pace is brisker, the scenes leavened with overt plotting and dramatic irony. The climactic sequence brings all the characters together for what promises to be the outing of some secrets, but ends up going further, turning into a scene of emotional cruelty that, since "August: Osage County," seems to have become a specialty of Chicago playwrights. Director Joanie Schultz manages the tonal shifts effectively, and deserves extra praise for staging transitions that elegantly propel both story and character. There are a couple of potentially problematic elements in "The Kid Thing." First, Gubbins surprisingly portrays a blatant butch/femme split in both couples, but, while Nate and Darcy's masculinity becomes a subject, the stereotypical quality of the relationships goes undiscussed in a play that discusses a lot. More concerning from a craft perspective, the character Darcy perhaps dominates the play too much -- she is without question the most complex of the women, and most everything is driven by her reaction to events. Kelly Simpkins (one of the original performers in "The Laramie Project") puts forth a raw, intense performance of a character whose motivations seem to peel away as the play goes forward, but who remains unlikable pretty much from start to finish. The emotional impact of her actions may be limited by the lack of the same dimensionality in other characters, but Darcy's psychological complexes are provocative enough, her motivations ambiguous enough, and Simpkins' performance strong enough, to make "The Kid Thing" a work of significant depth.Set, Chelsea M. Warren; costumes, Izumi Inaba; lighting, Sarah Hughey; sound, Miles Polaski; stage manager, Jenniffer J. Thusing. Opened, reviewed Sept. 10, 2011. Runs through Oct. 16. Running time: 2 HOURS, 10 MIN.

Although her character is frequently badly behaved, comely star Roma Gasiorowska manages to make her titular character sympathetic, even sort of likable, and the pic offers an energetic portrait of contempo youth culture in urban Poland. Still, with a script that's not terribly original or surprising, "Ki" won't unlock many doors offshore, apart from those at a few fests. Warsaw-based Kinga, aka Ki (Gasiorowska), has a cute 2-year-old son named Pio (Kamil Malecki), sired by her shiftless b.f. Anto (Krzysztof Ogloza). She works as a nude model at the local art school and sometimes strips, but is trying to get on welfare by hiding her other sources of income. When she and Anto split up, she moves in with friend Dorota (Sylwia Juszczak) and Dorota's fiance Miko (Adam Woronowicz) and proceeds to mess up their apartment and coerce Miko into posing as her fiance in front of social workers.
