Jackson Wrongful Death Case to Start
The long awaited civil case against the organisers of Michael Jackson’s final tour AEG has been scheduled to start on the 2nd April.
The civil action brought by Jacko’s mother Katherine states that AEG were responsible for negligently hiring and not properly vetting Jacko’s former physician Dr. Conrad Murray, who was charged and found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the wake of Jackson’s tragic death in 2009.

The hearing has been delayed on several occasions pending AEG’s various injuctions stating that Dr. Murray was acting off his own accord.

Lil Wayne Health Scare
U.S Artist Lil Wayne was rushed to hospital on Tuesday (12.03.2013) with a severe seizure, this is not the first time this has happened to Lil Wayne – real name Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr as he was previously reported to have experienced seizure like symptoms during an airplane flight in October of last year.
This incident appears to be more serious as Wayne has been reported to have been experiencing a seizure so severe, he had to be placed into a medically induced coma.

These reports have since been denied as pure exaggeration by both Wayne’s Management team and several of his celebrity visitors including Jay Sean, B.o.B, Drake and Lil Kim.

Ghana’s Most Wanted….Chris Brown?
It seems Chris Brown cannot go one week without some controversy.
The R&B star was recently in Ghana, during a concert performance, a video has emerged he can be heard to ask the crowd ““How many of you all smoke weed?”
“S**t, I got my blunt right here,”
Certain authorities in Ghana have not taken too kindly to this, Ghanian Youth Activist Jonathan Osei-Owusu, has actively called for Brown to be extradited to answer for his promoting of drugs at a public forum, Osei-Owusu said ““He promoted an illegality. You can see from the video and yet he was let go free.”

“He is on video to have encouraged the audience to take up arms against people who stand in their way to smoking weed. In our prisons, many are incarcerated for same.”
“The last two days, I have been with the police and an investigation has commenced. The police have moved swiftly and they are not leaving anything unturned.”
