overweight women are treated on the show citing the positive responses from the
judges to Kirstie Alley, 60 who danced on the show last season. Bono revealed
the competition had strengthened his relationship with his superstar mother, Cher.
Chaz says he would love to do Broadway theater next.

DR. CONRAD MURRAY TRIAL

Five former heart patients of Michael Jackson's $150,000-a-month personal doctor
praised him at his homicide trial Wednesday as capable, caring and anything but
greedy.  Prosecutors tried to show that the witnesses were biased and that
Murray's care of Jackson was far lower in quality than how he treated them.

The former patients said Murray had performed operations on them, installing
stents to open blocked heart arteries and counseled them through years of
"thorough" follow-up visits.  The patients described Murray as being caring and
a great guy, saying that he made you feel like he cared.  Several said that
Murray didn't even charge them for his services.

None of the patients said they had been treated for a sleep disorder that
involved a "drug dependency issue," as Murray had treated Jackson.

Prosecutors established that during an operation on when of the witnesses, there
had been four health care professionals there with sophisticated monitoring
equipment unlike the scene in Jackson's bedroom where doctor and patient were
alone with minimal equipment.

One of the witnesses claimed that Dr. Murray was his very best friend and would
still be testifying in the doctor's defense even if he knew Murray was guilty
of causing the death of Michael Jackson.

Prosecution got the witnesses to admit that Dr. Murray had never given them
propofol in their bedrooms.

The defense is expected to wrap up testimony today.
The lawyers didn't mention Murray as a witness.

The case could reach the jury of seven men and five women early next week.
