FLASH NEWS: Iran election, Michael's death, SC Gov.

- Iran is to set up a special commission, including representatives of defeated candidates, to draft a report on the presidential poll, AFP reported. And who will be in that committe, the same dudes insisting there were no irregularities, calling for protesters to be severely punished, and making them confess "the West made me do it" on national TV?

- A hardline Iranian cleric during Friday prayers today demanded the punishment of opposition leaders, blaming the U.S. for their actions, CNN reported. He also said that the demonstrators themselves killed Neda to attract international sympathy. Ugh.

- Michael Jackson received a daily injection of Demerol at 11:30 a.m. yesterday, TMZ reported. Family members are saying the dosage was "too much" and that's what caused his death. Police is interviewing a doctor, Dr. Conrad Robert Murray, who lived at Michael's home. His car reportedly was impounded because it might have "medications pertinent to the investigation," LAPD said. That was quick.

- As expected, more people are coming forward to reveal (not much of a revelation) that Michael had a 20-plus-year addiction to prescription drugs. He was hooked on Oxycontin and received daily injections of Demerol (a drug that like morphine is a highly addictive opioid), LAPD said. The coroner is about to give press conference about the autopsy; however, BNO reported no findings would be announced . The toxicology results will be interesting, to say the least; unfortunately, we'll have to wait six to eight weeks for those results.

- Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of Michael's children, would be the one to get custody of the children because though she tried to terminate her parental rights in 2005, the judge did not grant that because a parental fitness investigation was never conducted. Issues regarding Michael's estate and his kids are likely to be extremely complicated. I don't envy the lawyers.

- People throughout the world are both mourning the death and celebrating the life of the King of Pop. Crowds gather in cities in many countries. U.S. House of Representatives held a moment of silence in honor of Michael Jackson.

- Actress Elizabeth Taylor physically collapsed when hearing that longtime friend Michael had died. "My heart...my mind...are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can't imagine life without him," she said on Twitter.

- Pop icon Madonna (up there with MJ) says, "I can't stop crying."

- Calls for South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford to resign gain momentum. Nah...really?
