Britney Spears Radar Official Video

1. July 2009Rita Pereira4 comments

Britney Spears looks absolutely fantastic in her new music video for “Radar”. The video is unexpectedly… how do we say this delicately… boring!! There’s no eccentric choreography or costumes (the guys aren’t even that cute!)… it’s something Celine Dion would do… I just can’t express how disappointed I really am by this video. What do you think?

Propofol Diprivan Found At Michael Jackson’s Home

1. July 2009Rita Pereira4 comments

A registered nurse claims Michael Jackson asked her for an extremely dangerous drug used for surgical anesthesia, Diprivan, which is the brand name for Propofol, for his insomnia problems. The nurse denied his request but this drug was found at the singer’s house after his death.

Propofol should be only available to medical personnel while the patient is being monitored and equipment to provide artificial ventilation, administration of oxygen and instituting CPR “must be immediately available.” A source said, “There is no conceivable way this drug can be properly prescribed for home use.”

Lidocaine, a drug used to reduce the pain associated with Propofol injection, was found near Michael’s body. One of the side-effects of Propofol is cardiac arrest if it’s taken in combination with narcotic painkillers, however, Propofol is so powerful it can stop someone’s heart on its own.

The doctor who facilitated this drug to Michael and who possibly help him use it (Michael is no doctor, how can he know what type of drugs to use and how!?!) can and should be prosecuted for manslaughter. Michael’s personal doctor was Dr. Conrad Murray (Cardiologist) but the singer was also a close friend of Dr. Arnold Klein (Dermatologist). Both doctors have been questioned by the LADP.
