JACKSON DOCTOR TELL-ALL BOOK! Dr. Conrad Murray has written a tell-all book about Michael Jackson. Titled This Is It, the book reveals that Jackson told him he was given hormone injections at the age of 13 to retain his high-pitched voice, and that Jackson's feet were covered in callouses. Get the reveal.

MOVIE TICKETS PRICE RECORD! The average price for a ticket has risen to a record high of $8.73. Part of the reason is due to high profile movies like Captain America: Civil War and Finding Dory screening in IMAX and 3D, two features that boost ticket prices. That's why I wait for movies to come out on DVD. Get more disappointing news from the box office.

POKEMON PLAYER IN POKEY, MAN! A man playing Pokemon Go wound up in jail when his chase took him to a police station in Michigan. William Wilcox, 24, was taken into custody last week after police in Milford, Michigan found him saw him playing Pokemon Go outside of the police station and discovered that he had an outstanding arrest warrant.
