Coffee Talk: Michael Jackson's Personal Life on Display in AEG Trial

See what we’re chatting about over hot coffee:

• Michael Jackson’s estate’s $40 billion dollar law suit against AEG is well underway and yesterday, jurors received an ear full of information about the late singer’s personal life. Dr. Christopher Rogers, who performed Jackson’s autopsy, took to the stand and shared details about Jackson’s life. According to him, Jackson’s lips were tattooed pink and his eyebrows were tattooed dark. In addition, the front of his scalp was tattooed black—to help blend his hairline with wigs. However, Rogers said that had it not been for the deadly drug propofol, Jackson could have lived a normal lifespan. The doctor’s observation of Jackson’s health will be key in determining damages should AEG be found liable for Jackson’s death. Jackson’s representation will make a case that the late entertainer could have earned billions had he not received poor medical care at the hands of Conrad Murray, who was hired by AEG. [CNN]
