The Michael Jackson estate is reportedly in talks for the inevitable film about the life of the King of Pop. Ivan Reitman's Montecito Picture Company – which has brought us Old School and Up In The Air, but also EuroTrip and The Pink Panther – might produce.

Updated. After a tawdry trial featuring a clothed death photo, a naked death photo, and a slew of unbelievable sad documents illustrating the King of Pop's demise, physician Dr. Conrad Murray has been found guilty the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.

The addled tragedy of Jackson's life is well-known at this point, but nothing's really hammered it home quite like this tape.

A terrible bottom-feeding tabloid called the Los Angeles District Attorney published a picture of Michael Jackson dead on a gurney today, in a gossip rag called The Prosecution's Opening Statements Against Dr. Conrad Murray. You can see it here.

HLN hopes Dr. Conrad Murray's trial for the manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson will be as good a ratings boon as Casey Anthony's trial for the manslaughter of her daughter, even though Nancy Grace will barely be around this time, because she's busy doing this.

When Michael Jackson died, he was worth a paltry $50 million. Pfft, that's nothing. Pocket change. Now that he's gone and not accumulating debt to fuel his extravagant lifestyle, the value of his estate has skyrocketed.
