As we previously reported, Conrad Murray arrived at Airport Court in Los Angeles a few minutes before 1:00pm PST, and at 1:58pm Michael Jackson's former doctor plead not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Jackson's family (including Joe, Katherine, Jermaine, Rebbie and La Toya) arrived at court just after 12pm, and Michael's parents Joe and Katherine are sitting in the front row of the courtroom right now.

UPDATE:
Murray's bail has been set at $75,000, and he has been taken into custody for booking at the courthouse.

The complete Los Angeles County Coroner's report in the death of Michael Jackson has been made public, and it confirms what we already know - that Propofol was to blame for the King of Pop's death.

The report reveals that Propofol and benzodiazepines were given to Jackson before he died from cardiac arrest on June 25, 2009, and there are several other details in the report that will be used against Dr. Conrad Murray in court this afternoon.

Not only was the standard of care for administering Propofol not met, but the report says that the recommended medical equipment for patient monitoring, dosing and resuscitation was not present either. The report added that Propofol was administered in a non-hospital setting without any valid medical reason, which certainly isn't going to help Murray's case today.

Conrad Murray has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, and the DA has filed docs alleging that the doctor "unlawfully, and without malice, kill[ed] 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."

Murray will be arraigned at 1:30pm this afternoon, and he is expected to arrive to court around 1pm to surrender voluntarily and plead not guilty.

If convicted of the charges, Murray faces a maximum sentence of four years in prison.

UPDATE:
Our reporters on the scene tell us that the Jackson family arrived at the courthouse just after 12pm PST.

UPDATE #2:
Dr. Murray arrived at the courthouse just before 1pm PST and he is now making his way to the courtroom.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney just announced that the case against Dr. Conrad Murray will be filed on Monday.

Murray's attorneys J. Michael Flanagan and Ed Chernoff were supposed to hold a news conference this afternoon to address the squabble between LAPD and the DA regarding how Murray will be brought to court.

The DA wanted Michael Jackson's former doctor to surrender prior to his arraignment and LAPD wanted him arrested before he showed up to court, and Murray's lawyers claim they were caught in the middle of the mess. It is still not known whether or not Murray will be arrested or allowed to surrender himself in court on Monday, but we'll bring you the latest as soon as we hear it...

There's a media frenzy surrounding the impending surrender and arraignment of Michael Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray. The doctor is expected to be charged with involuntary manslaughter today after turning himself in to an undisclosed location.

And the media, including X17!, have got their lenses aimed and ready to go ... in fact Associated Press photographers were outside the Santa Monica apartment building of Murray's mistress this morning at 4 am!

The first movement at the residence didn't happen until about 8 am when Murray's attorney, J. Michael Flanagan arrived. Local TV crews, satellite trucks, and photojournalists are camped out in front of the building waiting for the next move. It's uncertain whether Murray will be arrested there at his baby mama's home or whether he might turn himself in at an LAPD station. The arraignment is expected to happen at the airport courthouse at 1:30 am. Stay tuned ...

Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff has approved the compensation for Michael Jackson's estate administrators - attorney John Branca and music exec John McClain.

The AP reports each will receive 5% of the estate's profits, albeit not including earnings from the This Is It doc nor MJ's interest in the Sony-ATV music catalog.

The estate itself has an estimated value of $500 million.

No one in the Jackson family objects, as the amount was discussed with Michael's children and his mother, Katherine. Her attorney, Adam Streisand, agrees that "this is very reasonable. There is an incentive for the executors to grow the business and that will, of course, affect their compensation."

Good to know the money is in fair hands!

Yesterday attorney J. Michael Flanagan told X17online that his client, Dr. Conrad Murray, would not be turning himself in to authorities, but it looks like tomorrow is a different story.

Los Angeles County Superior Court officials have told the Associated Press that Dr. Murray will be arraigned and charged with involuntary manslaughter on Friday for the death of Michael Jackson. ABC's Eyewitness News reports that Dr. Murray will appear in court at 1:30pm to face the charges.

As X17online previously reported, Dr. Conrad Murray will not be arrested or charged today for the death of Michael Jackson.

Murray was seen at his girlfriend's residence in Santa Monica yesterday, but it seems as though he's no longer there, as undercover cops have vacated the apartment building. A handful of reporters and photographers are still camped outside, and we're now hearing that Murray is expected to face manslaughter charges stemming Jackson's death as early as tomorrow.

Stay tuned - we'll bring you the latest!

X17 was at Dr. Conrad Murray's attorney's office this morning to try to get to the bottom of recent reports that his client would be turning himself in today to face charges of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.

J. Michael Flanagan (who happens to have represented Britney Spears for hit-and-run charges in late 2007), told X17online that his client, Dr. Conrad Murray, would NOT be turning himself in today at the criminal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles or anywhere else.

Flanagan avoided answering our questions about his client's guilt and wouldn't comment on whether he would request a plea bargain for Murray. He said the District Attorney had not advised him of any plan to formally charge the doctor.

Murray is expected to face manslaughter charges stemming from what the LA Coroner ruled an overdose of the anesthetics Propofol and Lorazepam as the cause of Michael Jackson's death on June 25 last year.

Murray, a cardiologist, was Jackson's personal physician. He admitted giving sedatives to Jackson but denied wrongdoing. Check out our exclusive video below to see what else Flanagan had to say:

Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's private physician who is accused of administering a fatal dosage of propofol, the powerful anesthetic to Michael Jackson, is in Los Angeles and may surrender to the authorities as early as tomorrow.

Although Murray has not yet been charged, his spokesperson Miranda Sevick says "Dr. Murray is in Los Angeles for a dual purpose — on family business and to be available for law enforcement." She added, "We're trying to be as cooperative as we can."

An LA county courthouse spokesperson told X17online, "Nothing is on file for tomorrow regarding Dr. Murray," but it's possible the Dr. could turn himself in to any police station, if he's not busted beforehand.

It is believed that Murray will be charged with involuntary manslaughter, which carries a sentence of two to four years.

Sources tell ET that Blanket was set to take the stage with his siblings, but at the last moment, became "overwhelmed" and opted to hang backstage.

Prince, who apparently wrote his own speech said, "Through all his songs, his message was simple -- love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world."

Paris simply said, "We love you, daddy."

After the ceremony, the kids attended a post-Grammy celebratory dinner where sources say Prince didn't let the Grammy out of his sight!

It was previously reported that Michael Jackson's three children would be attending Sunday's Grammys, and now multiple sources have confirmed that Paris, Prince and Blanket will be participating in a special segment of the show honoring the King of Pop.

Though reps for the Jackson family are staying mum, it's being reported that the childen will take the stage during a tribute to their father to read a brief speech about him.

Not only will Michael Jackson himself be honored at the Grammys this weekend, a source tells E! News that producers have made an effort to incorporate MJ's kids into the show!

Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket all last their father last year, but the Grammy Awards telecast promises a moving tribute to the King of Pop...

While a family rep couldn't be reached for comment, a source close to the Jacksons reveals that the children "might" be there.

The Grammys will also feature a 3-D mini movie set to MJ's "Earth Song," part of which was featured in This Is It - watch the clip below!

Now this is kinda cool!

The late King of Pop will be saluted at this year's Grammy Awards in a special 3-D film clip presentation! Additionally, MJ will be honored with a lifetime achievement award during the ceremony.

Viewers will be required to wear 3-D glasses - available at Target! - to see Michael Jackson perform "Earth Song," part of which was seen in his doc This Is It.

This will be the first time in history that an awards show will feature 3-D. Loves it!

A theme park in Jackson's childhood home of Gary, Indiana complete with a replica of Neverland Ranch is in the works.

Apparently the new attraction, which will begin construction this year, will include a museum, golf course, hotel and a performing arts center. Additionally, there are some talks of a Thriller rollercoaster.

Theme park operations agent Odie Anderson says, "We will begin construction of the facilities this year. We have set aside a specific date, tied to a special Jackson event, for the ground breaking."

In other Jackson news, a $20 million dollar award against XtraJet and its owner, Jeffrey Borer, for trying to sell a secret videotape that was taken of MJ and his attorney, Mark Geragos aboard a 2003 flight from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara where Michael was to face child molestation charges.

Interesting to not that Michael was shut out of any of the money. $18 million of that went to Geragos, with another $2 million going to his associate, Pat Harris.

Yesterday, a judge ruled that the amount was "excessive."

"I think we're going be retrying this case," Brian Kabateck, Geragos' attorney told the LA Times.

Michael Jackson’s death has been officially ruled a murder, as his death certificate has been amended to list homicide as the cause of death.

The original certificate, issued on July 7, did not list the cause of death, but after several weeks of investigations the certificate was re-released in August by medical examiner Christopher Thomas with homicide as the official cause.

So will Dr. Conrad Murray be prosecuted for his hand in Jackson's death? Though the DA won't comment on the case, Murray's attorney J. Michael Flanagan has said that it will be difficult for the court to charge Murray with involuntary manslaughter, as they will have to base a case on gross negligence, which apparently is no easy feat.

Think Dr. Murray will be able to escape this?

A "new" Michael Jackson single hit the Internet yesterday -- an alleged single with Lenny Kravitz.

On June 25th, Kravitz wrote a letter about Jackson published in Spinner, where he mentioned working on a track with Jackson: "I got to work with Michael on a track that has not been released and it was the most amazing experience I've had in the studio. He was funny. Very funny and we laughed the whole time."
