Two years ago Saturday, at age 50, Michael Jackson died suddenly from an overdose of the powerful sedative Propofol. His personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, faces manslaughter charges. The trail gets under way in September. What’s taking so long? “Justice grinds slowly in America, and especially in Hollywood when there’s a celebrity attached,” says Diane Dimond, author of “Be Careful Who You Love” and a Daily Beast contributor. “The state took a long time to try to find a number of medical experts who were willing to talk about Propofol, its use and misuse, that wanted to be involved in a high-celebrity case like this. They didn’t want National Enquirer reporters in their lobby, so it took them quite a while to get up the medical experts they thought was necessary. The judge finally said, ‘Let’s postpone this until everybody really gets ready.”‘ Photos: Michael Jackson 1958-2009Jackson Memorial highlightsCBS News videos of Michael JacksonCoverage from one year anniversary of Jackson’s death Dimond told “Early Show on Saturday Morning” co-anchor Russ Mitchell she thinks Murray has been “kind of struggling to figure out how to pay his bills. He not only has a wife and a home in Las Vegas, but he also has some other children and other families that he needs to take care of.” Jackson biographer and CBS News consultant J. Randy Taraborrelli told correspondent Priya David-Clemens,...

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt were warned that they would want to get divorced after working together on “A Quiet Place,” but instead, they say the experience brought them closer together. The actors, who are married in real life, talked to CBS “Sunday Morning” and ET about what it was like to work together on set.  Krasinski said that working with Blunt was eye-opening for him. “I think because we’re both actors, people think we have the same experiences but we have a completely different experiences,” he explained to ET. “She’s off working with a different crew, cast, director and I usually do my own thing. So, to actually see what it is that makes her such an amazing actress, I’ve obviously been the biggest fan of hers forever, but to see her on set doing what she does, when you’re in the room it’s a whole different thing.” More in Celebrities Blunt added that working together helped the couple bond in a meaningful way.  “We’ve always been great partners in life, but I think professionally we’d never had that experience,” she said. “And ultimately because the movie means so much to us and seeing each other in a professional realm and also allowing that sort of new side that we saw in each other was really bonding, it was like very cool.” It was the first time Krasinski...

Updated 3:36 PM ET (CBS/AP) UNITED NATIONS – Egypt’s new President Mohammed Morsi, making his debut on the global stage at the United Nations, said Wednesday that he will not rest until the civil war in Syria is brought to an end. He called the fighting there, which opposition groups say has killed at least 30,000 people, the “tragedy of the age” and one that “we all must end.” And he invited all nations to join an effort to stop the bloodshed that began about 18 months ago when opposition figures rose up against President Bashar Assad’s regime. President Morsi on the U.S. and Egypt: “We are not enemies” Morsi, an Islamist and key figure in the once-banned Muslim Brotherhood, opened his remarks to the U.N. General Assembly by celebrating himself as Egypt’s first democratically elected leader who was swept into office after what he called a “great, peaceful revolution.” Watch a “CBS This Morning” interview with Mohammed Morsi: He said the first issue for the world body should be certifying the rights of the Palestinian people. “The fruits of dignity and freedom must not remain far from the Palestinian people,” he said, adding that it was “shameful” that U.N. resolutions are not enforced. He decried Israel’s continued building of settlements on territory that the Palestinians claim for a future state in the West Bank. On another subject, Morsi...

(AP) RAWALPINDI, Pakistan – Osama bin Laden spent his last weeks in a house divided, amid wives riven by suspicions. On the top floor, sharing his bedroom, was his youngest wife and favorite. The trouble came when his eldest wife showed up and moved into the bedroom on the floor below. Others in the family, crammed into the three-story villa compound where bin Laden would eventually be killed in a May 2 U.S. raid, were convinced that the eldest wife intended to betray the al Qaeda leader. The picture of bin Laden’s life in the Abbottabad compound comes from Brig. Shaukat Qadir, a retired Pakistani army officer who spent months researching the events and says he was given rare access to transcripts of Pakistani intelligence’s interrogation of bin Laden’s youngest wife, who was detained in the raid. Qadir was also given rare entry into the villa, which was sealed after the raid and demolished last month. Pictures he took, which he allowed The Associated Press to see, showed the villa’s main staircase, splattered with blood. Other pictures show windows protected by iron grills and the 20-foot high walls around the villa. Qadir’s research gives one of the most extensive descriptions of the arrangements in bin Laden’s hideout when U.S. SEAL commandos stormed in, killing bin Laden and four others. His account is based on accounts by an official of...
