Wednesday Roundup
The trial of Dr. Conrad Murray continued with testimony from another doctor who stated that singer Michael Jackson could not have injected himself with the drug probaphal. It was also mentioned during the trial that Dr. Murray excused himself to go to the restroom, only to find the singer was not breathing when he returned. According to testimony, the singer would had to have been under the influence of other drugs in order to inject himself, as the defense has claimed. Pictures of the singer's lifeless body were shown in court as well. Stay tuned. Rapper Lil Wayne took to his Twitter account to respond to comments made by legendary rapper Luther "Luke" Campbell. A letter from the Miami rapper appear in a local paper in which he took Weezy and several other artists to task, saying that they hang out in the city, sleep with the women there, and don't give back to the community. Weezy let it be known on Twitter that he is not concerned about what Campbell thinks. It makes one wonder where things will go from here. Singer Beyonce dispelled rumors that she's wearing a fat suit, and not pregnant in a recent interview. Pictures of the star have surfaced that seem to make some believe she's wearing a fat suit. The baby is due in November. Singer Fantasia called in to the "Wendy Williams Show" to dispel rumors about her dispute with the producers of the upcoming Mahalia Jackson biopic. She claimed that there's no script as yet and filming has not begun. The singer was mum when asked about the father of her baby and whether she is still involved with Antoine Cook, who is married. The nominees for the 2011 American Music Awards have been announced, and leading the pack this year is an undeniable import from the UK. British sensation Adele leads the nominations with four, including Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist and Favorite Album for "21". Lil Wayne, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga all have three nominations each. Weezy, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj have all been nominated for Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Artist, while Usher and Trey Songz have both been nominated for Favorite Male Soul/R&B Artist. Meanwhile, former Destiny's Child members Beyonce and Kelly Rowland along with Rihanna have all been nominated for Favorite Female Soul/R&B Artist. The American Music Awards will air on November 20 on ABC from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Former G-Unit member Young Buck is facing more financial trouble. The rapper could have his assets seized and sold as he and his lawyers have not been able to find a way out of bankruptcy. The rapper has been attempting to get approval of a debt repayment plan that would restructure his recording contract in order to make good on outstanding debts to creditors, including 50 Cent and Universal Music Group. After 50 and company rejected the plan, the situation looks bleak. Without an approved repayment plan, the rapper's only option would be to file Chapter 7 liquidation. At that time, his assets would be sold and the resulting cash distributed among his creditors. Here's hoping the situation is worked out soon. Singer Chynna Phillips was sent packing on Tuesday night's episode of "Dancing With The Stars". The singer blanked on steps to her and partner Tony Dovolani's "Mission Impossible" dance routine. Tune in next week to see who survives another week of competition. Another round of competition will take place on "X Factor" as well. On the tube: "X Factor" on Fox, "Survivor: South Pacific" on CBS, "The Middle" on ABC and "Up All Night" on NBC. Happy hump day!
