Conrad Murray is still on the hook, but these doctors aren't anymore:

The California Attorney General's office has announced that it won't seek charges against seven doctors and one nurse who were under investigation following Michael Jackson's death for prescribing drugs to the King of Pop. A spokeswoman for Attorney General Jerry Brown said that the investigators did not find sufficient evidence, CNN reports. However, one unspecified doctor who knowingly provided drugs to Jackson under one of the star's aliases could be disciplined by the California medical board.

Despite going to jail again soon, DMX has a new song sampling Biggie's Juice called "Time To Get Paid." Here is the AHH snippet.

There are some unreleased Britney songs that are now......released.

Diddy is talking about replacing Simon Cowell at American Idol.

In the midst of the Kanye Twitter take over, the news he broke about naming his next album "Good Ass Job" is definitely news worthy.

And M.I.A. slams Lady Gaga once more, in another fun interview when asked why Oprah was giving her the cold shoulder:

'She was with Iman [Bowie]. Iman was always dancing with me, hugging and kissing me, but Oprah seemed really pissed off with me. Also she made this huge speech at the ball praising Lady Gaga and about how she [Lady Gaga] is helping Americans to be the best of themselves. There's millions of other Americans who represent that for me. Is [it] about numbers? About how much you're selling? Is it truly about the journey? Because [Lady Gaga's] journey isn't that difficult: to go from the fucking Upper East Side to a fucking performing arts school and on to a stage at the museum of fucking wherever. That journey's about four miles.'
