Live Blog from the Anchor Desk 8/24/09
A paper bombshell exploded today when a Houston court released documents showing that Michael Jackson died of lethal levels of the powerful anesthetic propofol.
And that’s not all—the Associated Press is quoting a single law enforcement official, who says the L.A. County Coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide.
We’ll have the latest on all of this breaking news.
The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into harsh questioning of detainees during President George W. Bush's war on terrorism. We’ll dig deeper tonight.

Have a wonderful night everyone, see you all tomorrow!! Sleep tight Anderson! 🙂
Titan, awwww, dogs are great. I found this awesome dog store this weekend, to get treats for my little girls! 😉
That was so pathetic....I wonder what moron at Miss Universe made the decision to include her performance in the program.
I thought that was Britney Spears making another comback.. but i cant believe that was Heidi from The Hills! pretty funny haha
Goodnight everyone!
Painful to watch Heidi. Apparently Anderson agrees. Don't hold back Anderson. Let us know if you liked it or not.
Goodnight, Anderson and Erica and everyone!
Goodnight, everyone!
Okay Anderson and Erica, that's enough! It is painful enough just watching the clip. Sweet dreams!
Anderson, Erica & Team 360, Thank you and good night. The show was a goo mix tonight.
Good night fellow bloggers.
The shot: That was really fund as well as your remarks Anderson.
Loved Anderson's dog "speak" during the Great Dane story.
Thanks for joining us tonight! See you tomorrow night – same time!
Heidi is not a Godly creation. Good night all.
Goodnight all. Thanks for the welcome
This part of the Miss Universe was really complicated to watch. I think perhaps where I slept .... Lol ...
hahahahaha Anderson I was wondering the same thing watching the show... I was like "Whooo in the world is she?!" 😀
Good night everyone. The Shot is always a good way to get a giggle in after such serious thought provoking programming. That was just embarrassing, can't even dance! Now i can get to sleep with a smile! Thanks!
Good Night Everyone! Sleep tight and don't let the bed bug bit.
Everybody wants to be in the business of show which says "Hey, look at me!"
had a great weekend – very relaxing.
actually, i've heard that great danes make great apartment dogs, for several reasons!
I'm still impressed by the student in Black in America 2 who wants to become a social worker because even when her home life was in shambles she felt like at least the social worker – one person – cared. I have a feeling that girl, because of what she went through – will make a huge impact when she grows up.
Please don't show Heidi Montag.....we should just ignore her.
Miss Universe was a little disappointing. Despite everyone think Miss Universe is decadent, I thought it might be fun, but it was not so much! Lol ...
Aaarrgg Miss Universe!! We were soooo CLOSE!!! But little miss sunshine gave such an nonsense answer to her question!! 😛
Anderson - good segment on the school system in New Orleans - glad you are doing the "After the Storm" segment this week and looking forward to your live remotes from NOLA on Thursday and Friday.
a great dane requires back loader
Poor little girl, I bet she was extremely scared 🙁
