's security guard Alberto Alvarez -- the man who called 911 the morning MJ died -- just took the stand, claiming Murray asked him to remove several vials of Propofol before he called an ambulance.

Alvarez claims he quickly arrived at the scene on June 25th, 2009 -- and saw Murray performing one-handed chest compressions on MJ, who was still in the bed. According to Alvarez, Murray immediately asked him to pack away several vials and an IV bag.

Alvarez claims there were two saline bags on the IV stand, but Murray cared only about the one that contained a vial with a "milky white substance."

Alvarez claims Murray THEN asked Alvarez to call 911 -- at which point the dispatcher ordered him to move Michael from the bed to the floor in order to perform CPR. According to Alvarez, paramedics arrived soon after.

Defense attorney Ed Chernoff tried to get Alvarez to admit he may have been confused about the timing of the events -- but Alvarez insisted ... Murray ordered him to bag the vials BEFORE paramedics arrived.

Alvarez says he has been offered enormous sums to provide interviews to media outlets -- as much as $500,000.

The defense just showed footage inside a hospital room where MJ's body was relocated after the singer was pronounced dead -- and the place was crawling with cops.

Leader image for Fantastic Fest: Paranormal Activity 3 a Spooky Misfire, But Is There Still Time to Salvage It?

There was an inkling around town that Fantastic Fest’s secret screening Wednesday would turn out to be Paranormal Activity 3, what with the viral VHS tapes surfacing in Austin this week and the seemingly perfect timing for the horror sequel, which hits theaters nationwide on Oct. 21. By the time the surprise world premiere was confirmed to a packed audience at midnight on Wednesday, it was a surprise many folks saw coming. So how did Paranormal Activity 3 measure up to its predecessors — and what does it mean that it doesn’t match up at all with its recent trailer?

First, the setup: In the summer of 2006, just prior to the events of the first two films, adult sisters Katie (Katie Featherston) and the pregnant Kristi (Sprague Graydon) discover a batch of old family VHS tapes from their grandmother’s house, one of which is ominously labeled “September 1988.” Flash back to that month in their totally ’80s childhood (stocked with Teddy Ruxpins and hair scrunchies) when, as two young girls living with their mother Julie (Lauren Bittner) and her new-ish live-in boyfriend Dennis, the entire family is slowly accosted by a mysterious unseen force that shakes the walls, opens and closes doors, and does generally creepy things at night. Coincidentally, young Kristi (an astoundingly natural Chloe Csengery) happens to have a new invisible friend named Toby who talks to her at night and tries to get her to do strange things.…
