Wednesday Roundup

A judge has sentenced Dr. Conrad Murray to the maxium four years in prison for involuntary manslaughter in the death of singer Michael Jackson. Although there's been no word on probation or parole, the Dr. could serve at least half of the sentence. As mentioned previously, the Dr. was ordered to pay the Jackson children $100 million for lost wages since Jackson died before his "This Is It" concert tour could begin. The Victoria's Secret Fashion show aired last night and Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Jay Z all performed. The show was another fabulous event that fans will not soon forget. The show featured real models, no plastic surgery and it's anyone's guest what next year's show has in store for fans. Incarcerated rapper Lil Boosie has been sentenced by a judge in his drug smuggling case. Fans will recall that the rapper attempted to smuggle drugs into the prison where he's been serving time for another offense. A judge considered rehab for the rapper to help deal with his apparent drug problem. In addition, he also has a murder charge looming over him as well, so we'll have to wait and see what happens with that. Singer Beyonce recently surprised mom Tina with a makeover or more accurately, a lifestyle lift. The star reportedly told her mother she knew she felt a little insecure about her looks and wanted to help her feel better. Tina Knowles agreed, as long as it was something subtle. What Mrs. Knowles received was a lifestyle lift, which is a mini face lift performed in about an hour under local anesthesia. It tightens the jaw line, neck and wrinkles with the result lasting for a few years. Hopefully Mrs. Knowles is enjoying her new look and having fun. It looks like Lil Kim fans will definitely have a  happy holiday season. The petite rapper announced via Twitter that she plans to release a 5 song EP sometime around Christmas. It will be the star's first release in six years. Her last release was 2005's "The Naked Truth", which went gold. She ramped up the activity last year with the release of her mixtape "Black Friday" and her recent single "I Am Not The One", which is now available on iTunes. It's great to see and hear that the Queen B is back on the music scene. Singer Mary J. Blige celebrated the release of her latest album, "My Life 2: The Journey Continues" with an intimate party in Atlanta where she performed songs from her classic 1994 album "My Life" and material from the new album. Celebrities in attendance included Monica, Young Jeezy, DeVyne Stephens and husband-manager Kendu Isaacs. At any rate, it's great to see the star in such a great place in life and enjoying it. On the tube: "The X Factor" on Fox, 'Survivor: South Pacific" on CBS, "The Middle" on ABC and "Christmas At Rockefeller Center" on NBC. Happy hump day!
