Harvey believes Dr. Conrad Murray's alleged "abandonment" of Michael Jackson during the singer's final moments could prove to be the decider in the case.

Plus, why Murray's defense team could be shooting themselves in the foot by proving MJ was a severe drug addict. And, how the prosecution's decision to show a picture of MJ's dead body -- and play Dr. Murray's audio recording of MJ seriously messed up on drugs -- has already made a huge impact.

Leader image for Help Movieline Caption This Dark Shadows Photo of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton

We may have one Johnny Depp adaptation fast approaching (The Rum Diary opens in theaters October 28), but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about the other Johnny Depp adaptation down the line. Dark Shadows, the actor’s next and eighth collaboration with Tim Burton will bring the forgotten ’60s goth soap opera of the same name to life. Although it isn’t due out until May 2012, Empire does have a sneak peak of the behind-the-scenes action. Do you have your captioning pens handy?

Good, because here is a photo of Depp in full bloody character make-up as Burton directs him. Depp plays Barnabas Collins, an 18th century vampire who awakens to find himself in the 20th century. The supernatural drama also stars Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Johnny Lee Miller, Chloë Moretz and, of course, Helena Bonham Carter. Like the original series that aired on ABC, Burton’s Dark Shadows will also feature werewolves, warlocks, witches, zombies, and time travel. Oh my!

But enough about the cast, let’s get to captioning. Ready, set, go!

Los Angeles Dodgers Fans to Frank McCourt -- Show Us the Money in Bankruptcy Court

0927_dodgers_EX_01Los Angeles Dodgers season ticket holders want to make sure Frank McCourt isn't screwing them over in the team's bankruptcy proceedings -- and they've filed a motion to make sure they're protected.

Attorneys representing a handful of season ticket holders filed docs with the bankruptcy court in Delaware ...seeking to establish a formal committee of more than 17,000 season ticket holders.

According to the docs, the committee's goal is to make sure Dodger funds are going to what they consider the most important part of the "fan experience" -- such as acquiring new players, meeting payroll, renovating the stadium, and operating concessions.

The motion also specifically mentions the need for  "security" at the stadium -- which has been a hot button issue since the Opening Day beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow.

According to the docs, the season ticket holders have collectively poured "hundreds of millions of dollars" into the storied franchise -- and some individuals pay up to $150,000 per season.

The Dodgers filed for bankruptcy back in June. If the fans' motion is approved they could have a voice in future decisions about the team -- such as whether it's sold and to whom.
