Beatles playing for keeps with "Rock Band" game
DENVER - Paul DeGooyer is tired -- for good reason. It's about two weeks before the September 9 release of MTV's "The Beatles: Rock Band," and DeGooyer, senior vice president of electronic games and music for MTV Networks Music Group, has been traveling to New York, Boston, Los Angeles and London since 2007 to work on the project. He's conducted delicate negotiations with surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison; hammered out essential licensing deals with executives at Sony/ATV and EMI Music, which treat the Beatles catalog with almost reverent care, and overseen the development of new technologies to meet the high expectations of all involved.

"Dexter" author offers latest tale of murder
LOS ANGELES - Author Jeff Lindsay found inspiration for a novel about a "good" serial killer in the fake smiles and insincere handshakes of people at a civic group meeting who, he thought, might want to kill each other.

The fourth, "Dexter by Design," published by Random House, hits bookshelves this Tuesday.
Stars, family honor Michael Jackson at funeral
GLENDALE, California - Michael Jackson was buried on Thursday, more than two months after he died of a drug overdose, marking the last stop for a superstar who spent most of his 50 years in the public gaze. The singer, whose enormous success with such albums as "Off the Wall" and "Thriller" was overshadowed in later years by his extravagant lifestyle and child molestation allegations, died on June 25 with a mix of prescription medications in his body.
