Dr. Conrad Murray will have quite a long time to ponder the proper use of propofol. Three weeks after being found guilty of manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson, he’s received the maximum sentence for the crime: Four years in jail. The judge said he went hard on Murray because, “He has absolutely no sense of remorse and absolutely no sense of fault, and he’s dangerous.” He continued, “There are those who believe Dr. Murray is a saint. There are those who believe Dr. Murray is the devil. He is neither. He is a human being.” [E!]
Due to California’s prison troubles, Murray will probably only serve half of his sentence. [TMZ]

Radar reports that while “Miss America pageant stands for the empowerment of women, traditional values and wholesome entertainment,” one of the main sponsors of the Miss California pageant is a gay porn star who owns several adult websites. Perhaps this makes the pageant even more hypocritical for booting contestants when semi-nude pics surface, but I’m not all that concerned about this dude marring the “wholesomeness” of the swimsuit competition.
