Law enforcement sources have reportedly recovered a potent anesthetic from inside Michael Jackson's Holmby Hills home.

Propofol, which is generally used for surgeries and clinical procedures, was one of many drugs uncovered at the home, according to the Los Angeles Times. It is commonly referred to as Diprivan and is administered by IV for anesthesia. In as little as 40 seconds, the drug can cause the patient to experience hypnosis, the publication noted.

Officials have confirmed to E! News that prescription drugs were found in the home, but declined to specify exactly what they were. The DEA has joined the investigation.

Earlier this week, former Jackson nutritionist Cherilyn Lee claimed that she warned the entertainer about taking certain drugs, just five days before his death. She claimed Jackson said he was struggling with insomnia and virtually begged her to give him Diprivan.

His name was mud after he got caught fabricating his Oprah-raved "memoir," A Million Little Pieces. But now James Frey's reputation, or at least his bank account, is getting transformed by roboto-destructo maestro, Michael Bay. That's because the Transformers director and DreamWorks reportedly just purchased film rights to Frey's, I Am Number Four, the first book in Frey's projected six-volume sci-fi series.

What killed Michael Jackson? Perhaps the question should be: What didn't kill Michael Jackson?

With a situation as fluid as a Motown 25 moonwalk, and pending toxicological results from a pair of autopsies, there is no shortage of theories as to what, or who, killed the King of Pop.

We were going to say we assembled the top ones below in order of most plausible to, well, less plausible, but with this story we're not sure there's a distinction. We settled for alphabetical order.

• Accidental Overdose, aka Performer's Remorse

According to the Daily Beast, Jackson didn't want to do his London concerts, couldn't afford to cancel them, and, thus, came up with, as one source put it to the site, "a note from the doctor:" Namely, the entertainer downed a lot of prescription drugs with the intention of O.D.'ing, forcing a hospital visit—and, back to the top, getting out of the shows.

Everyone knows that Rihanna is a tattoo trendsetter.

Just ask Lindsay Lohan and Lily Allen. (Or on second thought, don't.)

But last night three lucky people at New York City's East Side Ink got brand-new tattoos inked by the "Umbrella" singer herself.

"She came by to hang out with us and her regular tattoo artist Bang Bang," says East Side Ink owner Yadira. "He decided he wanted to get a tattoo from her and then two of the other artists decided they wanted to get one as well."

Riri gave her buddy and the other artists one of her signature signs.

"She tattooed us for a change," says Yadira. "It's a little umbrella with a capital "R" underneath it. The second and third had a number two and a number three next to it."

But according to the NYC Health Department, tattooing without a license is illegal.

"Only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the City's Health Code," says spokesperson Erin Brady.

Still, Yadria says what it's only illegal if she is making a profit. And as for Rihanna facing any legal drama, an NYPD spokeswoman tells E! "Someone would have to make a complaint. There's been none that we know of."

Who would complain? Most people—and probably even Lindsay—would love such a unique souvenir.

The past week has been filled with more Michael Jackson speculation than we even thought possible...and there's no end in sight.

Jackson's former personal photographer, Ian Barkley, spoke exclusively to E! News about the King of Pop's parenting, his apparent problems and various things he witnessed during his years spent traveling the world with the artist.

Barkley was hired in 2002 to document Jackson in all of his endeavors. "Michael liked having me around," says the photographer.

Throughout his years with the star, Barkley grew to know Jackson and his family intimately, gaining personal insight to a life shrouded in privacy. The ex-employee paints a portrait of Jackson as a doting father, saying that he and his three children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, had a "really good" relationship.

"His kids totally love their dad and he was extremely protective over them," says Barkley. "Even when we were just around his staff, he was protective."

The last video shot of Michael Jackson in preparation for his This Is It! tour shows what might have been.

Two days before he died, the fallen hitmaker tore into "They Don't Care About Us"—a sentiment the King of Pop's fans probably can't identify with.

While tour organizer AEG Live has started refunding the roughly $85 million worth of tickets that were sold for Jackson's 50-night London run, it turns out scalpers are still cashing in on the scuttled comeback series because AEG is also offering buyers the option of claiming the one-of-a-kind, Jackson-designed tickets as souvernirs.

"It is one of the hottest items on the memorabilia market right now," says a source working on the AEG-sanctioned refunding process. "People realize they can get more money selling them to collectors than getting a refund."

Tickets to the O2 Arena shows are selling for as much as $400 on sites like eBay and Gumtree.com—a London-based equivalent of Craigslist.

Federal drug agents are onboard and the investigation into Michael Jackson's sudden death continues.

Los Angeles Police on Thursday confirmed reports that the Drug Enforcement Administration has joined the investigation, with a LAPD spokeswoman telling E! News that there's nothing she could divulge about the collaboration at this point.

The L.A. County Coroner's Office confiscated a number of prescription drugs from Jackson's rented Holmby Hills mansion Monday as part of the ongoing LAPD case. The DEA's diversion control program, which also assisted in various investigations related to the death of Anna Nicole Smith, regulates controlled pharmaceuticals.

As part of the probe, the LAPD has been interviewing doctors in connection with the various meds found in Jackson's possession.

Also interviewed was Dr. Conrad Murray, who apparently isn't one for sitting still for too long.

The pieces are finally falling into place as to how Michael Jackson will at last be laid to rest—and then memorialized accordingly.

Arrangements are still being made, but Jackson's body will ultimately be interred at Forest Lawn cemetery in the Hollywood Hills, and an open-to-the-masses tribute to the King of Pop will take place at Staples Center on Tuesday at 10 a.m.

"Details are still to be finalized when I meet with the Jackson family this afternoon," AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips told L.A.'s KNBC-TV. "Everything is in preliminary stages except the place and time."

The L.A. Police Department will be ready, having already started setting up security blockades outside Staples in Chick Hearn Court.

Arrivals will begin around 8 a.m., Phillips said. Hugh-screen TVs will be set up elsewhere in the LA Live complex, as well, to give any overflow crowd a glimpse of what's inside.

But while details of what the Jacksons have in mind for the memorial event remain murky, at least the death certificate can finally exchange hands.

Now hear's a diff'rent stroke that isn't right for anybody.

Gary Coleman's wife, Shannon Price, was arrested Wednesday in Santaquin, Utah, on suspicion of domestic violence and disorderly conduct, the Utah County Sheriff's Office confirms to E! News.

The duo have a home in Santaquin, but it's not known for sure whether Coleman was the target of the alleged attack.

Price has since been released on a $1,205 bond. A rep for Coleman has not yet commented on the bust, which was first reported by TMZ.

The former child star quietly married Price in August 2007 but had started divorce proceedings—which included an appearance on Divorce Court—by April 2008.

Apparently reconciled since, Coleman got in a scuffle at a Utah bowling alley in December when a guy tried to snap cell phone pics of him and the missus. He ultimately pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and reckless driving.
