After exhaustively scouring every possible detail and weighing every option, the LAPD investigation into Michael Jackson’s death has finally been completed.

The case will go to the D.A. within weeks, law enforcement sources are saying, and it looks all but certain that Dr. Conrad Murray will be criminally charged.

The only question: what charge(s) he faces.

Detectives completed their investigation of the Michael Jackson case last month and it will soon be formally presented to the L.A. County District Attorney.

TMZ says that the presentation will draw quite the crowd, given the enormity of the case, and finding a date when all necessary parties can show is tough.

Just the same, it should happen this month.

Dr. Conrad Murray is about to get an updated mug shot!

The LAPD investigation was “extremely thorough” and the D.A. has enough evidence to pull the trigger on their criminal case against Dr. Conrad Murray.

That being said, the case is extremely complicated, in part because Dr. Murray apparently did not break any laws in administering Propofol to Jackson.

It’s all but certain charges will be filed against Murray, who was Jackson’s personal physician as he prepped for his This Is It tour. Michael died June 25.

Insiders say the most likely charge Murray will face is involuntary manslaughter, which requires a showing of the doc’s gross negligence, but not murder.

It would be difficult to prove – and unlikely the case – that Murray wanted Jackson dead, which a murder charge would imply. Sorry, LaToya Jackson.

Tila Tequila continues to mourn the passing of Casey Johnson in an unusual, publicity-whorish manner.

Just hours after she posed seductively for the paparazzi surrounding her home, Tequila has gone on yet another Twitter rant against Casey’s family.

In a new post, she refers to them as “piece[s] of s- – -” that “abandoned” their daughter and adds:

“Some ppl think just cuz they’re rich that they can just stomp all over other ppl. Even if that means taking away their daughters happiness! My Wife hated them. Just wait til I tell everyone the truth I have proof.”

Tila is certifiably insane and is inexcusably using Casey’s death to garner headlines for herself. But her facts in this instance aren’t entirely off base.

Johnson’s family cut ties with their daughter years ago, citing the drug and alcohol abuse that led to her unstable behavior. Her father, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, lost his brother to a drug overdose in 1975 and is sensitive to the issue.

The New York Daily News reports he hoped this example of tough love would set Casey straight. Sadly, it didn’t work out that way.

And Tequila won’t let anyone forget it: “Her family abandoned her for 5 years, her friends never called her, ONLY I DID,” she wrote. “Who was there for her? I WAS! I took care of EVERYTHING!”

Early this morning, Tila said she promised to “tell all” about Casey’s personal life. We have no idea what that means, but we do know this much: Tequila is an extraordinarily troubled individual.

Artie Lange, Howard Stern’s radio sidekick, landed in the hospital last weekend. News of his suicide attempt landed in New York Post’s Page Six a few days later.

It was the Post report that divulged how Artie stabbed himself nine times in attempted suicide. Surgeons were able to save Lange’s life after he got to the hospital.

The stand-up comedian’s family had been asking for privacy following reports that Lange was hospitalized, and Stern is pissed that the suicide report was leaked.

Stern personally had respected Artie’s wishes to keep the reason for his hospital trip private, but spoke out Thursday regarding Artie’s exposed personal problems:

“I would love to know who the scumbag is who releases that to the press. This is a private matter,” Stern said, lambasting whoever leaked the suicide details.

Details of Artie Lange’s suicide attempt deeply upset Howard Stern.

“I don’t know what to say. I work with Artie Lange, I love Artie. Everyone has their demons, including myself, but he’s wrestling with some serious stuff here.”

“When I heard the news it was too much to bear.”

“I’m pissed off the story got out there, pissed off at the $h!thead who got paid 10 bucks to talk to Page Six. This is a family matter. I don’t know what to say.”

The New York Post posted an article today from an October interview with Artie Lange, in which he talks about his life and myriad struggles with addiction. 

We wish him the best as he tries to overcome obvious pain and struggles he’s endured lately, both physically and emotionally. Hopefully he’ll get well soon.

When Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner ended their brief relationship, most sources agreed the basis for this break up was basic:

The pair simply didn’t have a lot in common. Moreover, strong feelings weren’t there on Swift’s side.

But Star magazine has a different theory: a well-known, adorable third person got herself between Taylor and Taylor – Selena Gomez!

Gomez and Lautner were a rumored item for awhile, as the former has said meeting the latter was “the best thing ever.“

An insider now says the spark between these two never died down and they’ve rekindled at least some sort of relationship. Are there any facts to back up this claim? Of course not. But does that mean it’s not worth talking about the possibility? Of course not!

Did a Gomez come between two Taylors? Who are you blowing that kiss to, Selena?!?

Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko are totally dating. She just doesn’t want people know it yet. She even books extra hotel rooms for that reason, it turns out.

So people wouldn’t suspect she was sharing a room with her new boxing-champ boyfriend, the diminutive star had aides book her a room at another hotel.

They did so, and it sat empty – if you know what we mean! We mean Hayden’s dating Wladimir Klitschko, and they shacked up in the same room. ALL NIGHT.

“It was clear she was with Wladimir, and they were at the Setai together,” a source told the N.Y. Post. “But she insisted on booking a room at a separate hotel.”

“Then she could pretend she was staying elsewhere. The room was never used.”

Too bad many Hayden Panettiere pictures were taken featuring the bikini-clad star cozying up to the fighter. Talk about getting caught red (hot!) handed:

Hayden, who was seen poolside with the Ukrainian boxing champ, who towers over her 5’1″ frame at 6’6″, has a history of pretending she’s unattached.

She repeatedly claimed she was “just friends” with Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia. Another guy she said was just a friend? Entourage‘s Kevin Connolly.

Wladimir sure looks friendly with her in that picture above. Forget his many heavyweight titles – the guy has officially earned the title of Lucky Stiff!

Audrina Patridge and what would appear to be a new boyfriend arrived at club Voyeur for an evening out last night. We actually don’t know who he is.

Since finally splitting from that unclean douchebag Justin-Bobby from The Hills, Audzo has dated Tal Cooperman and Corey Bohan for brief periods.

She’s also been linked to Chris Pine and most recently, Glee cast member Mark Salling. This fella doesn’t appear to be Mark, however. Who is he?!

This isn’t a trivia question, we’re actually curious. Fire off a comment if you know the identity of the star’s new man (or sibling for all we know)!

Noah Cyrus turns 10 years old today.

Miley’s younger sister only has to wait about another two decades now until the attire she’s known to wear, such as the outfit below, is age appropriate:

In all seriousness, we do fear for Noah’s future. Someone has to alert the Cyrus family that it’s okay to let her remain a kid for awhile.

That means no more encouraging of her to sing “Smack That” and no more allowing her to be seen in public in less clothing than Pamela Anderson typically wears.

Hear that, Billy Ray, Tish and Miley? We’ve got our eyes on you!

For now, we ask readers to send in both their birthday wishes to Noah Cyrus and their advice for her on how to enjoy her childhood while it lasts.

While Brooke Mueller deals with the fallout from her alleged domestic dispute with Charlie Sheen two weeks ago, a friend claims this is far from the first problem she’s encountered over the last few years.

A source tells Radar Online that Mueller received in-patient treatment in the early 2000s for an addiction to crack.

She would reportedly “disappear for a couple days” at times and head to Beit T’Shuvah in Los Angeles. This recovery center focuses on Jewish spirituality and therapy, specializing in both in-patient and out-patient care.

“She had a serious problem,” the insider says.

This report doesn’t come as too much of a shock. It’s been revealed that Mueller has two arrests on her record; one for DUI and a second for cocaine possession in 2001.

Various stories have alleged that she and Sheen were drinking heavily on the night of their argument, with Mueller registering a .13 blood-alcohol level. That’s higher than Pete Doherty likely is right now.

Brooke’s lawyer says his client wants to move on from this “bad night,” however, and reconcile with the actor. We just hope she has the best interests of her young children in mind.

It’s a new year, and that means a new fitness plan for Jessica Simpson. The alleged singer, actress and VH1 reality star says she’s got a new workout passion.

She posted on Twitter earlier this week, “Just got done boxing. Second day in a row… Have I lost my marbles?” No. That would imply she once had marbles.

The star, who is scheduled to appears in VH1′s The Price of Beauty this year, has been chronicling her gym routine on Twitter. She must really be bored.

“Why am I still hurting from our workout earlier? I’m getting old!” she wrote, adding that she has “sore buns.” Imagine her brains after all that Tweeting.

Jessica Simpson is looking pretty good these days at least.

Last year was an up-and-down one for the singer’s career – and weight. Looks like she’s determined not to have people ripping apart Jessica Simpson pictures in 2010.

Based solely on the latest issue of Ocean Drive, you’d think Kim Kardashian was a hard-working entrepreneur that built herself up from nothing and actually contributes something to society aside from large breasts.

Isn’t that hilarious?

The random publication features Kim on its cover and refers to her a “multimedia juggernaut,” a “fitness sensation,” and a “shoe guru.”

Those descriptions differ slightly from THG‘s take on Kim as a “fame-obsessed model that is only well-known because she let a dude named Ray J have intercourse with her on camera and will shill for anything for a buck.”

Still, Kim looks pretty good in the magazine’s photo spread. We can give her that much.

Check out a few excerpts from Kardashian’s interview, and a few more photos of her from the shoot, below:

On her entrepreneurial side: My dad was a great attorney and businessman. He instilled a strong work ethic in all of us. If we wanted our allowance, we had to work. For Christmas presents, he’d give us gift certificates for a “one-hour conversation about life with Dad.”

On her fashion background: I think back to the ’80s, when my mom had an enormous closet and Kourtney and I were about nine and 10. We used to always drape ourselves in her jewels and furs.

On Reggie Bush: He only cares about football, and really couldn’t care less about the Hollywood life. It’s not a struggle, because we balance each other out. In his house, it’s only SportsCenter, and in my house, it’s only E!.
