HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (7-31-09)

TOP STORY!!! PANIC! AT THE DISCO HAVE BROUGHT THEIR EXCLAMATION POINT BACK!!!

If you thought PANIC! AT THE DISCO wouldn't be able to survive losing both a punctuation mark . . . AND two core members . . . you were right. Because the band has just announced that they are bringing their exclamation point BACK.

Panic dropped the exclamation point back in January of last year. The move immediately sent SHOCK WAVES through the rock community. At the time, guitarist RYAN ROSS said he found the exclamation point, quote, "annoying."

Well, he's not in the band anymore . . . so they decided to bring it back. (--Apparently to make the first part of their band name EXCITING again.)

Drummer SPENCER SMITH says there are TWO reasons the exclamation point is back in effect: (1) They want to revisit the, quote, "theatricality" of their earlier days . . . and (2) quote, "It just seemed like it would be a fun thing for our fans." -He adds, quote, "Hopefully, there's less of a big deal [made] about it coming back than there was about it going away. -"It seems like a new chapter, so having that as part of the band seemed like something we could bring back . . . to reinforce that Panic! at the Disco is not breaking up, it's still going."

***MICHAEL JACKSON MADNESS ***

KATHERINE JACKSON AND DEBBIE ROWE HAVE REACHED AN AGREEMENT:

KATHERINE JACKSON and DEBBIE ROWE have reached an agreement on the custody of MICHAEL JACKSON'S two oldest kids, 12-year-old Prince and 11-year-old Paris. --Katherine retains custody . . . which is what Michael asked for in his will.

Debbie did NOT give up her parental rights . . . and she WILL have some visitation with the kids. --A joint statement from both parties says that the, quote, "timing, frequency and manner of visits shall be implemented according to the best interests of the children."

(--Here's something that was NOT addressed in the statement: Will Debbie visit the kids as THEIR MOTHER . . . or as just a FAMILY FRIEND???) We've heard rumors over the years that the kids never knew Debbie was their mother . . . because Michael didn't want them to know. Do they know NOW??? And if not, are they going to be told??? We have no idea.

Katherine and Debbie will also jointly select and pay for a child psychologist for the kids. The agreement stipulates that Debbie has no parental rights regarding Michael's 7-year-old son Prince Michael the Second . . . a.k.a. "Blanket". Debbie was NOT his biological mother.

The statement very clearly noted that no money changed hands. (--All Debbie ever wanted was for her support to continue to be paid from Michael's estate . . . which is what she and Michael had agreed upon in their divorce.)

Attorneys for both sides also noted that the only consideration in these negotiations was the best interest of the children.
HERE'S WHAT THE COPS WERE LOOKING FOR . . . AND WHAT THEY FOUND . . . WHEN THEY RAIDED DR. MURRAY'S HOME AND OFFICE:

When police and DEA agents raided the home and office of DR. CONRAD MURRAY earlier this week, they were looking for evidence of the anesthetic Propofol . . . the drug believed to have killed MICHAEL JACKSON.

They were also looking for pretty much any documents, records or correspondence mentioning Michael or any of the 19 or so aliases he used to obtain prescriptions. --We don't know specifically what they found . . . but we do have info on some of the things they took with them.

From Dr. Murray's home, they confiscated data from a Dell computer hard drive, a Samsung cell phone, a BlackBerry and an iPhone. --From his office, they took hard drives from four desktop computers . . . data from a flash drive . . . a phone message book . . . binders containing medical supply records and invoices . . . and a CD marked "Omar Arnold" . . . which was one of Michael's drug aliases.

The "Los Angeles Times" claims that the CD contained records of an electrocardiogram Dr. Murray performed on Michael when he was living in Las Vegas a few years back.
