He wanted to make the tour bigger than anything Elvis or the Beatles had ever done. A nearly comatose Michael stayed focus on his penchant for aiding children because as he explained he hurt deeply for children with no childhood experiences.

'Extra': Conrad Murray and the Girlfriend

Nicole Alvarez, the pretty girlfriend and baby-momma, of Dr. Conrad Murray's child testified for the prosecution against Conrad Murray. She took that stand and answered questions regarding the case. The odd thing is later that same day she was spotted with the doctor walking hand in hand with him and their child. They reportedly were on the way to dinner. How odd must that be for the two of them. The prosecution was trying to show that Dr. Murray was thoroughly distracted while he was to be attending to Michael Jackson. Dr. Murray was juggling work, private practice, love relationships and family life which caused him to administer substandard care.

'The X Factor': Stacy Francis, Less Is More

Stacy Francis was the favorite contestant of Simon and Paula's but this time out she blew it. Stacy over-sang with a zeal that had all the loveliness of a hurt seal. She held one note for an eternity trying to impress then combined that with runs that caused Simon to stop her. Simon very flatly stated to her "less is more". It was easy to agree with him on this critique. Stacy later mused that she never had formal voice training and if one of the coaches could just work with her she would be much better. That is the difference with The X Factor, they are intent on helping as well as discovering new talent. In her second round, Stacy came out in the group session and sand U2's hit Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, with subdued and controlled passion. Her vocals were showcased even more with the clear tone and straight forward singing. The poker-faced judges let a slight nod of approval slip out. It was impressive.

They time finally came for the judges to pair it down to 32 acts from the over 140 acts. In the over 30 category, the race was close. The well traveled and love former Mrs. Ike Turner did not make it. But the former homeless man and starving artist Dexter Haygood's name was called. Only seven acts from each category could advance to the main event. Dexter was called at number seven. He broke down crying. LA Reid to him it was time for him to believe in himself. Dexter nearly blew his chances several times when he continued to imitate the greats instead of being great. Dexter walked down to hug a sobbing Paula Abdul. This is why we love Paula, because she cares deeply. Hopefully Dexter can keep it up for one more week. Stacy Francis filled the eighth slot.

Wendy picked up Kendra's book and read the passages pertaining to her. Kendra mentioned how much that hurt her because most people were supporting her in that difficult time. Kendra expected Wendy to have her back and instead it seemed like Wendy was stabbing her verbally. Tried to explain it by saying that she only calls it as she sees it. Kendra admitted that people were thinking like Wendy but none would say the word divorce in front of her. In the end Kendra confessed more love for Wendy and they carried on.

'Basketball Wives LA': White Is Right

All the ladies want to help Imani get some action or at least meet a decent person for a hookup. The ladies organize a little get together and invite potentials for Imani to check out. Jackie scores points when she saunters in with a young buff white guy. Imani is immediately impressed with his looks. They sit down and have a good conversation. Later, the ladies quiz Imani about all the men she met and which had possibilities. Kyle, Jackie's friend, impressed Imani. Imani went to so far as to say that, "White is right", referring to her white date, Kyle. The ladies laughed, concurred and slapped high fives to accent the finding. Imani continued by saying that maybe she has been batting for the wrong team the entire time. This usually refers to gender but in this case Imani meant she only dated black now white is right. We know this is her intention because she was impressed with the amount of attention he showed her, offering to get her drinks and more.

'The T.O. Show': Terrell Acting Scene with Stacy Dash

Terrell has an acting gig. He is in the multi-starred movie, Dysfunctional Friends". Black Hollywood has been joking that every black actor is in the movie. Supposedly it is a shorter list for who is not in the movie. Terrell has a scene with Stacy Dash. Apparently Terrell has a few scenes with her but we don't get a glimpse of the steamy stuff. We see an awkward Terrell try to hit on Stacy Dash and get timid. Stacy even does the near unforgivable, she miss pronounces his name. Every fan knows T pronounces his name Terrell, and not Ter rell, accent on the first syllable. It is very American to put the accent on the second syllable. Terrell mentions that normally he would correct a person when they screw up his name but in this instance he let Stacy Dash get away with the infraction.

'The Rosie Show': Oprah Passes the Torch

Oprah has the one of the few networks owned by a woman, and a Black woman at that. Yes, TVOne has Cathy Hughes but Oprah is a sensation and tour de force. Rosie O'Donnell inherited the Oprah Winfrey stage and majority of it's TV staff of producers. It's great that Oprah had something for all those people to move onto after her show ended. Rosie's first show was live and at the end she mentioned that the show was lacking something. That was the cue for Oprah to come out and greet the audience as confetti fell. Oprah's appearance was the christening of Rosie and her show. Oprah waved like the rockstar she is and the fans went crazy. Hopefully the energy will continue in future shows.
