Zahau exhumed. Rebecca's death was ruled a suicide after her body was found
hanged with her hands and feet bound, at her billionaire boyfriend Jonah

record straight. She is not pregnant and she is not getting engaged any time
soon. In fact, Aniston says she's been married once and doesn't know if she'll
ever get married again.  Aniston, who began dating Justin Theroux, 40, earlier
this year adds that the ring she's currently wearing is not of the engagement
variety.  The actress blames the pregnancy rumors on the fact that she has quit
smoking and has gained a few pounds in the process.

DR. MURRAY TRIAL: TUESDAY


Randy Phillips, the concert promoter behind Michael Jackson's "This Is
It Tour," told the jury, when AEG Live announced Michael's first 10 shows, sales
were through the roof.  Phillips said the demand was so high that he personally
called Jackson to see if more shows could be added.   Michael agreed with two
stipulations.

1. He wanted a 16-acre country estate outside of London with streaming rivers
and horses for the kids

2.  He wanted people from the "Guinness Book of World Records" present at the last
50th concert because he knew "it was a feat that no other entertainer could
beat" (Prince currently holds the record  with 21 shows at the 02 Arena).

his other testimony included:

* Phillips told the jury when he first heard Jackson wanted his own personal
doctor, he tried to convince the singer to hire someone in London, but MJ
insisted on bringing Murray.

* Phillips said he had no idea there were issues with MJ's health until he got
an email from director Kenny Ortega who told him MJ wasn't focused and was
missing rehearsals.

* He then got a call from MJ's manager, Frank DiLeo, asking for a meeting to
discuss MJ's health.

* During the emergency meeting, held on June 20th, Jackson assured Phillips
he was ready to do the show.

*  Phillips said there were no discussions about any drug use and that Ortega
was happy with the MJ's response.
