MICHAEL JACKSON'S DRIVER'S LICENSES
TMZ has obtained the last driver's license photo Michael Jackson ever took -- a big change from the singer's cheery license photo from the 1980s.
The latest photo was taken in 2005 -- four years before the King of Pop's untimely death -- and you can tell from the harrowing image ... MJ had become a tortured soul.
An image of MJ's 1980s driver's license was released by the FBI shortly after Michael died -- as part of the agency's massive file on the singer. The Bureau compiled the dossier during its investigation into child sex allegations involving the singer back in the 90s.
As you can see, Michael was a much different person back then -- smiling brightly for his photo at the DMV.
Of course, it's not like MJ ever put the license to much use -- he was pretty much exclusively chauffeured around, especially in the later years of his life.

Michael Jackson Former Manager Says Propofol Use Began in 1999
Frank Cascio, a former personal assistant to Jackson who eventually became his close friend and manager, writes that he first noticed Jackson taking Demerol in 1993 during his "Dangerous" tour. He says Jackson was first introduced to the drug in 1984, after Jackson burned his head during a Pepsi commercial shoot.
In the book, an advanced copy of which was obtained by the AP, Cascio claims Jackson took Propofol in 1999 after a stage accident in Munich. Cascio says he spoke to Jackson's siblings about his drug use in 2001 and they tried to approach Jackson about it -- but MJ "simply pushed them away." Writing about Jackson's death, Cascio says Michael "died in his endless quest to attain some inner peace."

[photo] Conrad Murray in Documentary Randy Phillips Told Me MJ Is Going to Be Homeless"
Murray claims Phillips pulled him aside after a meeting about the "This Is It" concerts and angrily said ... "What's this bullshit all about? Listen this guy is next to skid row. He's going to be homeless. Nine security guards? Why does he need that? I'm paying for that s**t. I'm paying for the toilet paper he wipes his f**king ass with."
Phillips took the stand during the manslaughter trial and -- under oath -- denied that conversation with Murray ever took place.
"Michael Jackson and the Doctor: A Fatal Friendship" also shows strategy meetings between Murray's lawyers -- Ed Chernoff and Michael Flanagan ... as well as Flanagan's wife, Susan.
During one pow wow Susan says, "Explain a 50-year-old man who sleeps with a baby doll and has pictures of basically infants to 2-year-old children looking at him every night."
Chernoff then says, "I think the media made him appear weirder than he is." Michael responds, "You gotta be kidding me, he can't be any weirder than he is."
In the docu, Murray claims Michael "always had a chamber that was exclusively his. The bedroom that he slept in ... I had to persuade him, eventually to have it cleaned. Because ... one, he peed the bed. It did not smell good. It was mildew, and I had to get it clean."
"Who would ever believe that a man his age would still be wetting his bed?" Murray added it wasn't medication that made MJ wet the bed ... he claims it was psychological.
The documentary airs in the states, Friday night on MSNBC.

[photo] Michael Jackson Death Bed Up for Auction (For Sale)
File this under creepy -- You can wake up in the same spot where Michael Jackson didn't ... because his death bed is officially hitting the auction block.
The queen-size bed is just one of the many items from the Holmby Hills home where MJ died that will be included in a Julien's Auctions event next month.
We're told the bed is still in good shape -- but linens have been changed, since MJ's death.
Other items included in the auction are a mirror from Jackson's "inner sanctum -- a private bedroom in the home where NO ONE else was allowed to enter.
A rep for Julien's says the mirror contains an inspirational message Jackson scribbled on the piece for himself regarding his This Is it concert tour -- which says, “TRAIN, perfection, March April. FULL OUT May."
The auction is scheduled to take place on Dec. 17.
Jackson’s death-bed, along with various antique furnishings and paintings and sculptures from his home, will go up for auction next month by Julien’s Auctions. Also up for auction will be a chalkboard that is located inside the home’s kitchen, where a note from one of Jackson’s is posted reading, “I (heart) Daddy. SMILE, it’s for free.” The chalkboard will be sold as is and is expected to take in at least $400.

[video] Dr. Murray Tell-All Documentary Reveals Shocking Secrets
TMZ has obtained an excerpt of a never-before-seen documentary starring Dr. Conrad Murray -- in which the good doc reveals some very intimate details about the singer ... some of which are not flattering. The documentary -- titled, "Michael Jackson and The Doctor: A Fatal Friendship" -- was shot while Murray awaited trial for manslaughter ... and features a shockingly candid look at the preparation of the trial, which includes intense fighting between Murray's lawyers. The movie is being distributed by a company called Zodiak Rights ... which says it's already pre-sold the rights to air the documentary to "major broadcasters around the world." Sources tell TMZ ... NBC is one of the broadcasters ... and will air the doc in the United States. As for Dr. Murray -- he signed on to the project back in 2009, following MJ's death. It's unclear how much cash Murray is set to make from the movie.

[video] Prosecution's Statement on Conrad Murray Verdict
Los Angeles - Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley and prosecutors in the Conrad Murray trial held a news conference following the guilty verdict. "We are gratified the jury saw the overwhelming evidence in this case ... that Dr. Murray is guilty of involuntary manslaughter," District Attorney Steve Cooley said. He later added, "Finally, we want to extend our personal sympathies to the Jackson family, especially to (Jackson's children) Prince, Paris and Blanket."
The case was "a very strong and powerful message that this sort of conduct does rise to the level of criminal negligence," the district attorney said. "To the extent someone dies as a result of their playing the role of Dr. Feelgood, they will be held accountable," Cooley said. The district attorney noted that recent state legislation that calls for inmates in "so-called non-violent, non-serious, non sex offenses" cases to serve their sentences in county jail instead of state prison will "eliminate the potential for a traditional state prison sentence in state prison in this case." Deputy District Attorney David Walgren, the lead prosecutor on the case, also extended sympathies to the Jackson family, noting that they lost "not a pop icon, but a son and a brother." "I think that's most important to keep in mind," the prosecutor said. He thanked the judge for overseeing "a very fair and well-run trial" and jurors "for being so conscientious in their duties." Defense attorneys had no immediate comment after the verdict.

Los Angeles - A throng of Michael Jackson fans shouted their approval outside the downtown courthouse today when Dr. Conrad Murray was found guilty of causing the entertainer's death in 2009. Some cried, others waved signs reading "Guilty" and still more held pictures of the late singer aloft. A victory chant started up afterward as Jackson family members made their way through the crowd to waiting limousines. "I'm happy," said Michelle Mitchel, a dreadlocked Jackson fan in her 30s who traveled to Los Angeles from her home in the Bay Area to stand outside the courthouse when the verdict was read. "We've been waiting more than two years for this," she said. "I cried as soon as I heard the verdict. It's so sad -- Michael's not here." A phalanx of police officers managed to keep Jackson supporters on the sidewalk in front of the Criminal Courts Building and keep traffic moving along Temple Street unimpeded. Echo Park resident Lawrence Kolb was among those gathered around an iPad outside the courthouse, watching a live television feed when the verdict was read aloud nine floors above the street. "Everyone just screamed," he said. "Everyone was jubilant. I didn't see any Murray supporters." But there was at least one among the crowd who believed in the Houston cardiologist, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the superstar's death at age 50 on June 25, 2009. A lone man held a sign reading, "Dr Murray: An innocent man who must be exonerated." As the crowd thinned, someone placed a boom box on a ledge and played a string of Jackson hits until a policeman moved the group on.
