Ready for the best pictures of the year, people?Though 2011 is less than a week old, we've already seen Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez get nautical, a Kardashian turn red, a reality mom in a bikini, some engagement ring bling and a fruit salad tossing celeb caught on film.
Plus, there's our vested interest in Jennifer Aniston, Adam Levine's naked display and this guy, as always, keeping it real...crazy.
People vs. Dr. Conrad Murray
Murray Lawyer Paints Picture -- Michael Killed Himself
Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyers laid the groundwork for their defense -- Michael Jackson delivered the fatal shot of Propofol to himself.
Murray's lawyer, J. Michael Flanagan, asked Coroner investigator Elissa Fleak two questions 1) Was the IV bag fingerprinted? and 2) Was it possible for Jackson to reach the syringes from the bed?
As TMZ first reported, the defense will argue that Jackson became frustrated when he couldn't sleep that day and gave himself the fatal shot of Propofol when Murray was out of the room.
Clash of the Footballers -- Ronaldo Meets Ochocinco
With no playoff game to prep for this weekend, Chad Ochocinco jetted over to Spain this week ... and went on a double date with the most famous futbol player on the planet ... Cristiano Ronaldo.
We're told Chad and his lady, Evelyn Lozada, hooked up with Ronaldo and his lady, Irina Shayk, at a De Maria restaurant in Madrid.
No word on who paid for the meal.

Elijah Wood Joins Cousin Bilbo in The Hobbit
New Line Cinema Despite his character not actually being in J.R.R. Tolkien's novel, Elijah Wood will be making an appearance in Jackson's two-part Lord of the Rings prequel—which, judging by the inclusion of Frodo Baggins, will be utilizing some flash-forward/flashback storytelling along the way.
Also along for the ride, which is expected to start next month in New Zealand, is Cate Blanchett, another LOTR standout who isn't an OG Hobbit character. And there's talk that Orlando Bloom will be reprising (originating?) his role as Legolas in the new feature.
Sounds like someone wants to entice the Frodo-Galadriel-Legolas fans ahead of time.
For the main plot of The Hobbit, meanwhile, Martin Freeman is playing intrepid little burglar Bilbo Baggins. Ian Holm played the eleventy-one-year-old version in LOTR, so who knows, maybe he'll be in this one too!
Hole in Michael Jackson Death Timeline May Be Smoking Gun Against Dr. Conrad Murray
The prosecution commenced outlining its case against Dr. Conrad Murray during his preliminary hearing this week and suffice it to say, they're doing a good job.
From phone records to witnesses, nothing seems to line up well for the doc to beat the rap on involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.
Today's bombshell could be a smoking gun as far as disproving Murray's version of events that fateful day in June 25. All courtesy of his girlfriend too.
Sade Anding, who was in Houston the day MJ died, says she got a call from Murray at around 12:30 p.m. Phone records show it was actually 11:51 a.m.
That difference is big, because the 911 call wasn't made until 12:21 p.m.
If Murray did indeed realize MJ was in distress at 11:55 a.m., there was a long delay in sounding the alarm. It looks like he did realize it that early, too.
Sade says Murray was asking her how she was doing and she talked about her day. She spoke for a little bit, then realized Murray wasn't on the phone.
Sade then said she heard commotion, as if the phone was in his pocket, and heard "coughing and voices." Sade estimates the call lasted five minutes.
The other fun fact resulting from this? That Murray was likely two-timing Nicole Alvarez, who investigators have said was also his girlfriend at the time!
Murray's defense team is more or less sitting the preliminary hearing out. There's no way a judge will throw the case out, so a jury trial awaits next.
They've elected not to play their hand until then in a bit of a strategic move, letting the prosecution lay out its evidence now virtually unabated.
So far, the evidence has been compelling. Stay tuned.

PHONING IT IN: Did Dr. Murray dial 911 when he said he did?

Reb'l Fleur: Rihanna to Release Signature Scent
Reb'l Fleur, the first fragrance to bear the name and likeness of pop superstar Rihanna, will be available to the smelly public at large January 25.
RiRi's perfume, which came about thanks to a deal brokered by manager Jay-Z, is curiously described as "like heels with a short, flirty dress."
It's a fruity mix of red berries, plum, peach, coconut water, violet and Hawaiian hibiscus, in reflection of Rihanna's tropical roots. Obviously.
Whatever it means, Reb'l Fleur will first available at Macys for $49 a pop.
For her next scent, we suggest "Only Girl in the World" or "Hard" as good names. They get the point across, and have built-in theme songs:

Next up for Rihanna? A line of hair products. We wish.
As for its fun name, the scent shares it with a tattoo the pop star bears on her neck, although which came first is still up for debate at this time.Whatever it means, Reb'l Fleur will first available at Macys for $49 a pop.
