Cable network E! Entertainment will telecast daily half-hour courtroom reenactments chronicling Michael Jackson’s trial on child molestation charges, network President Ted Harbert announced Tuesday, getting Winter Television Press Tour 2005 off to a roaring start here.

But you really should read the rest of the article…

His announcement was met with some laughter from The Reporters Who Cover Television, which seemed to take him aback a bit. The BSkyB suit in the audience didn’t seem any too happy either. Maybe they should have made the announcement immediately after unveiling an E! series called “Craft Corner Deathmatch” in which women who like to use glue guns and crochet things engage in deathmatch-like competition.

Harbert said he plans to hire “the best actors we can find” but that none of them will be name actors. He already has someone in mind to play Jackson; the actor, Harbert said, has the ability to look like Jackson “a lot.”

Oh, well if he looks like Jackson “a lot” then it’s got to be great!
