Murray previously admitted to giving Jackson the drug in interviews with the Los Angeles Police Department.

The late Michael Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter by the Los Angeles County District Attorney for his alleged role in King of Pop's death last June.

Jackson's death was initially ruled a homicide in August, after toxicology reports revealed that he died from a lethal dose of the sedative Propofol. Murray previously admitted to giving Jackson the drug in interviews with the Los Angeles Police Department.

The doctor turned himself in Monday at a branch courthouse near Los Angeles International Airport shortly before 4 PM Eastern Time.

According to Rollingstone.com, an official statement from the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office reads, "[Murray] did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson . . . in the commission of an unlawful act, not a felony; and in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner, and without due caution and circumspection."

Bail will reportedly be set at $25,000. If convicted, Murray could face a maximum penalty of four years in prison.

The Beatles will soon receive a tribute from Roberta Flack, who is planning to release an album of their songs. The "Killing Me Softly" singer, who once lived above John Lennon and Yoko Ono in New York, told Spinner about the project and her progress. "(It's) all Beatles covers," she said. "They did 1,088 songs, so I'm gonna do about 14 of them." The album, which will be released on April 21, has yet to be given a title.

The Beatles will soon receive a tribute from Roberta Flack, who is planning to release an album of their songs.

The "Killing Me Softly" singer, who once lived above John Lennon and Yoko Ono in New York, told Spinner about the project and her progress.

"(It's) all Beatles covers," she said. "They did 1,088 songs, so I'm gonna do about 14 of them. I've finished about eight, so we're on our way. I have 'Here, There and Everywhere,' 'Here Comes the Sun,' 'Come Together,' 'Eleanor Rigby,' 'Let It Be,' 'Hey Jude.'"

The album, which will be released on April 21, has yet to be given a title.

"Somebody said call it Let It Be, Roberta Flack, Let It Be or Roberta Does the Beatles. All of that is so commercial, I can't think about that. I'm too busy trying to figure out if I can sing 'Oh Darling,'" Flack said.

The new disc will be Flack's 13th solo studio album.

Yoko Ono and her Plastic Ono Band have responded to the sold out demand for their upcoming performance at Brooklyn Academy of Music's Gilman Opera House by scheduling a "dress rehearsal" show.

The rehearsal show will be held on February 15 and will feature Ono and her core band, composed of Sean Lennon, Yuka Honda and Cornelius (Keigo Oyamada, Hirotaka Shimizu and Yuko Araki).

The February 16th BAM show, which sold out almost instantly, will see Ono and her band joined by special guests, including Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Bette Midler, Martha Wainwright, Scissor Sisters and members of Sonic Youth.

Ono's producer, Jared Geller, said, "It's been incredible to watch the public demand soar for more Yoko Ono, following her wonderful new record, Between My Head and the Sky. Adding this dress rehearsal performance will allow audience members a unique opportunity to witness the creative process of one of the great performers of our time."

Ono's latest album, Between My Head and the Sky, was released in late September and has received four and five-star reviews from publications including Rolling Stone, Q, NME, Pitchfork and others.

Frontman Steven Tyler is still a part of Aerosmith, according to guitarist Joe Perry, even though the band is looking for a new singer. "Steven hasn't quit the band, nor have we sacked him," Perry told the U.K.'s Classic Rock magazine. "We're taking the attitude that he's going on a vacation from Aerosmith." "How long will (sic) Steven be away? He says it'll be two years, but I believe he'll be back a lot sooner," Perry said.

"How long will (sic) Steven be away? He says it'll be two years, but I believe he'll be back a lot sooner," Perry said. "It may end up that we only do 10 shows with the new person."

Last year, Tyler announced that he would take a two-year hiatus from the band to pursue a solo career, leaving Perry and the rest to look for another singer. He has since entered drug rehab for a pain killer problem.

Tyler, 61, has been with Aerosmith since it formed in 1970.

"She was looking for new dancers for her upcoming tour," a source told the Post. "It was pretty epic. Some professionals were doing flips and spins, while the amateurs sort of just stared."

Also reported to be in attendance were New York Knicks star Danilo Gallinari and singer Eve.

Madonna is set to release a live album, Sticky and Sweet, on March 30. It will be her first release under her new recording and business deal with Live Nation.

The Who rocked the Super Bowl halftime show in Miami on Sunday, treating a packed Sun Life Stadium to a medley of their greatest hits. Backed by drummer Zak Starkey and bassist Pino Palladino - in addition to keyboard player John "Rabbit" Bundrick and Simon Townshend on guitar - surviving original members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey kicked off the performance with a quick take on "Pinball Wizard" before ripping through "Baba O'Riley."

The group tore through their blistering set surrounded by an elaborate light show featuring green lasers, flashing strobe lights and fireworks. The Who also played brief versions of "Who Are You" and "See Me, Feel Me," before launching into their 1971 anthem, "Won't Get Fooled Again."

Despite the energetic performance, Daltrey was a bit disappointed with the outcome.

"It didn't even feel like a concert," he told ESPN. "It's a television show. And what can you do in 12 minutes?"

"I thought it went OK," Daltrey added. "I understand. It's a TV show. Cameras were everywhere. I was so blinded that I couldn't see."
