[size=18pt]CONRAD MURRAY <br />Appeals Manslaughter Conviction[/size]<br />12/2/2011 3:28 PM PST BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br />1002-cm-ex-appeal.jpg<br /><br />Dr. Conrad Murray has just filed an appeal, challenging his conviction for involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson ... TMZ has learned.<br /><br />Murray filed the document in pro per -- which means he's representing himself instead of using a lawyer. <br /><br />On the portion of the document where a lawyer will usually state his or her firm's contact information -- Murray lists "Men's Central Jail" ... and includes his booking number. <br /><br />While he is representing himself, Murray is still communicating with one of the lawyers who repped him in the manslaughter trial, Nareg Gourjian. <br /><br />UPDATE:<br /><br />Gourjian tells TMZ ... "This case presents a gold mine of issues for any appellate lawyer.  Dr. Murray is confident that the Court of Appeal will vindicate him."<br /><br /><br /><br />[size=18pt]MICHAEL JACKSON'S KIDS<br />Hit Up Cirque du Soleil Premiere[/size]<br />12/4/2011 7:44 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br />1204-jackson-fame-1.jpg<br /><br />Michael Jackson's three kids -- Paris, Prince and Blanket -- along with a few other family members, attended "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil" in Las Vegas last night.<br /><br />The show starts its tour in Vegas before making its across the U.S. in 2012<br /><br />1204-immortal-footer.jpg<br /><br /><br /><br />[size=18pt]MJ'S SKIN DOC<br />The Med Board Is On My Ass<br />... and My Lawyer Just Quit[/size]<br />12/5/2011 7:35 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br />1205-arnie-launch-bn-01.jpg<br /><br />It ain't lookin' good for Dr. Arnie Klein ... Michael Jackson's dermatologist is under investigation by the Medical Board of California --  reportedly for pumping the singer full of prescription painkillers -- and now his lawyer has officially jumped ship. <br /><br />Klein just posted a letter on his Facebook page, apparently sent from his former attorney -- advising Klein that he's been subpoenaed by the Board and has to appear for questioning on Dec. 15. <br /><br />The letter does not explain the nature of the probe -- but according to TheDailyBeast.com, officials want to know more about allegations that Klein over-prescribed Demerol to MJ. <br /><br />The Board reportedly wants to question Klein about the possibility that he self-prescribed narcotics, used false names on narcotics prescriptions, illegally handed out samples of dangerous drugs to his famous patients, and may have committed gross negligence by practicing while afflicted with multiple sclerosis.<br /><br />Klein has always strongly denied any wrongdoing ... and thus far, has not been accused of any criminal conduct in the death of Michael Jackson. <br /><br />As for Klein's lawyer, Herbert L. Weinberg -- dude doesn't explain why he's bailing on Arnie ... but recommends a couple of "fine lawyers" who could take over. <br /><br />We called Klein for comment -- so far, no response.<br /><br /><br /><br />[size=18pt]DR. MURRAY<br />You Have a Couple of <br />FEMALE Visitors[/size]<br />12/8/2011 11:55 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br />1208-nicole-alvarez-npg-ex-1.jpg<br /><br />Inmate #2926725 may have gotten a visit from a couple of special ladies today ... when Conrad Murray's baby mama Nicole Alvarez (above left) AND his own mother (below left) rolled over to Men's Central Jail to check in on the doc. <br /><br />It's unclear how much time the ladies were actually allowed to spend with Murray  ... if any. <br /><br />Murray has been locked up for 31 days now ... ever since he was sentenced for manslaughtering Michael Jackson.<br /><br /><br /><br />[size=18pt]MICHAEL JACKSON FANS<br />Turn Death House Auction<br />Into Makeshift Shrine[/size]<br />12/12/2011 8:45 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br />1212-michael-jackson-bed-1.jpg<br /><br />The contents of the bedroom where Michael Jackson died are now on display at an auction house in Beverly Hills -- and though the actual death bed was pulled from the event, fans have erected a makeshift memorial in the spot where it was supposed to be displayed. <br /><br />As TMZ previously reported, the bed from the Holmby Hills mansion was yanked from the auction block after the MJ Estate stepped in and asked Julien's Auctions to remove it from the event. <br /><br />Julien's obliged -- but just about every other item from the house, including tables, chairs and a mirror featuring a message scribbled by MJ himself -- can be yours, if the price is right.  <br /><br /><br /><br />[size=18pt]KATHERINE JACKSON<br />Takes a Pic With<br />Michael Jackson Impersonator[/size]<br />12/26/2011 8:41 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br />1226-katherine-jackson-caesars.jpg<br /><br />Katherine Jackson posed for a photo with William Hall, a Michael Jackson impersonator, following the "Legends in Concert" at Harrah's Las Vegas on Friday.<br /><br />A little creepy, no?<br />
