This is just sad. I hope his 3rd surgery is a success.

Aiight, this is far from the initial reports that Raz B & Ricky Romance got “whooped” or “beat up”. Far from that from the looks of this vid. They were just forcefully escorted out the club. The drama seems to start at about 2:20 of the video, so feel free to fast forward to that part.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice on Tuesday approved — with several conditions — a merger of the country’s largest cable operator, Comcast, and broadcasting company NBC Universal.

The FCC voted 4-1 in favor of the deal.

“After a thorough review, we have adopted strong and fair merger conditions to ensure this transaction serves the public interest,” FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said in a statement.

The FCC said the Comcast-NBC Universal combination will be required to take steps to increase competition in the video marketplace. The merger will also require Comcast (CMCSA, Fortune 500) to expand local news coverage, expand programs for Spanish-speaking viewers and offer Internet access to schools and libraries.

The lone dissenter, Commissioner Michael Copps, expressed concern that the merger will limit communications choices and drive up costs to consumers.

“At the end of the day, the public interest requires more — much more — than it is receiving,” Copps said in a statement.

UNBELIEVABLE.

Since all of the frivolous hashtagging and manufactured trending topics started, I feel like Twitter’s brand & content quality has suffered severely. Or, maybe its just the people I follow lol. J/K , you know I love all yall! But it seemed like Twitter used to be a good source for real time news updates, breaking stories , and useful info, but now its all about boredom, artificial conversations & in-your-face promotion. We need to take Twitter back to its roots!!!

Conrad Murray‘s legal odyssey is just beginning.

The cardiologist accused of injecting Michael Jackson with a lethal amount of sedatives has been ordered to stand trial on one count of involuntary manslaughter.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor also ordered that Murray’s medical license be suspended, effective immediately.

“Circumstances have changed,” Pastor said in court this afternoon. “They have changed dramatically. There are extraordinary circumstances that mandate my approving the request of the [California] Medical Board. Overall consideration is the protection of the public. The continued practice by Dr. Murray does pose an imminent danger to the state of California.”

The ruling comes after six days of testimony from more than 20 prosecution witnesses, concluding today with two doctors who testified that Murray violated his duties as a medical professional by injecting Jackson with propofol, a surgical-grade anesthetic, and failing to properly monitor him afterward.

Both doctors said that even if Jackson had injected himself with the lethal dose, his death should still be called a homicide based on Murray’s actions.

The Houston-based physician has pleaded not guilty to the charge. A conviction would result in the loss of his medical license and a maximum of four years in prison.

Murray’s defense team didn’t call any witnesses during the hearing, but his lawyers argued that their client did not give Jackson anything that could have killed him and, in fact, was planning to decrease the amount of meds the King of Pop was using.

“What did we hear that [proves] Dr. Murray killed Michael Jackson?” attorney Joseph Lowe said in his closing statement. “Who is going to tell me what Dr. Murray did to Michael Jackson before he died? A 25-milliliter [dose] of Propofol in a 20-minute push is not enough to kill a man.”

“On the day he is trying to ween Michael Jackson off propofol, the doses (levels) go off the roof?” Lowe continued. “That defies common sense.”

Members of Jackson’s staff and paramedics who responded to the 911 call and transported a seemingly lifeless Jackson to UCLA Medical Center described a chaotic scene at the singer’s rented Holmby Hills mansion on June 25, 2009. Bodyguard Alberto Alvarez testified that Jackson’s oldest children, Prince and Paris, ran up to their dad’s bedroom and saw him lying unconscious.

“Michael Jackson is gone. Michael’s kids do not have a father because of Dr. Murray,” Assistant District Attorney David Walgren said in his closing remarks. “Michael is not here because of the utterly inept actions of defendant Dr. Murray.”

Pastor denied Walgren’s request that bail be increased from $75,000 to $300,000. He scheduled arraignment for Jan. 25 at 8:30 a.m.
