MICHAEL JACKSON: Wrongful Death Trial Begins
The Michael Jackson wrongful death trial began Monday, pitting Katherine Jackson against AEG Live.
Katherine and Michael's three children filed the civil suit in 2010, claiming that the concert company is responsible for the pop star's death, which came two weeks before his This Is It comeback concerts. Their asking for damages estimated in the billions.
In his opening statement, lawyer Brian Panish said AEG was so desperate to stage Jackson’s comeback show that it negligently hired Conrad Murray, the convicted doctor who caused the King of Pop's overdose death in 2009. Panish told the jury, "There will be no question in your mind [AEG] were ruthless. They wanted to...be number-one. They wanted to be number-one at all costs."
AEG claims Jackson personally hired Murray and that it had no obligation to do a background check or supervise the doctor. In his opening statement, AEG's lawyer warned jurors that "we're going to show some ugly stuff."
The trial is expected to last several months.

JASON COLLINS: Gets Universal Support Coming Out
Collins' Washington Wizards teammates Martell Webster and Jan Vesely tweeted support, as did an All-Star lineup of current players – including Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker and Dwayne Wade. Collins announcement drew official statements from the NBA, MLB and the Boston Red Sox (who asked him to throw out the first pitch at a game). Former president Bill Clinton tweeted support, and Collins also got a call from President Obama Monday afternoon.
The only people that seem to have missed the importance of Collins' revelation (besides anonymous Internet haters)? Members of the sports media. Various national sports talk radio hosts called it a stunt to sell magazines and that it wasn't worth time on their shows. And ESPN columnist Chris Broussard appeared on the show Outside the Lines and said that Collins was "walking in open rebellion to God."

ASHTON KUTCHER: Gets Violent With Security Guard
Ashton Kutcher got physical with a security guard at a country music festival in Indio, California over the weekend.
According to TMZ, the actor was in the VIP at Stagecoach to check out Dwight Yoakam when a woman approached him to say hi and shake his hand. But when Ashton tried to greet the woman, security rushed in and shoved the both of them. Eyewitnesses say the Two and a Half Men star and the security guard "went at it, each violently shoving the other." Ashton's friends reportedly had to restrain him.
The witnesses tell TMZ that Ashton was not the aggressor. They say the security guard was overzealous and out of line.
ADELE: Wait 'Til Next Year
If you're waiting for Adele to release a new album, you can mark your calendar -- as long as you have a 2014 one handy.
According to a report in London's Mirror, Adele has rolled up her sleeves and gotten to work on the follow-up to 21, but expects it to be a long process. A source says, "Adele is currently in a recording studio in London and it's in lockdown mode for the next few weeks. Four tracks are finished in terms of writing, and she's now laying down preliminary vocals with backing music and singers. The rest of the record will be done in L.A. The feel is very much Adele going back to her roots, with some modern jazz and a couple of classic old songs."
