The final Michael Jackson videos taken before the singer's June 2009 death are so top secret, they were recently transported in an unmarked truck, accompanied by armed guards in the dead of the night, according to court documents.

We know this because Dr. Conrad Murray has filed a motion to gain access to all of the rehearsal videos taken for MJ's ill-fated "This is It" tour.

Sony, which has possession of the videos, is objecting for several reasons. 

Michael Jackson - This is It (Full Trailer)

Plenty of footage was used in the This Is It documentary (see trailer above), but Dr. Murray says ALL of the rehearsal footage is key to his defense.

Murray's lawyers believe that the tapes will show MJ was in frail condition, perhaps proving Murray and Propofol aren't to blame for his demise.

Sony is refusing on logistical grounds, as there are more than 20 boxes of videos and it would cost $200,000 to log and reproduce all of them.

However, Sony also describes how top secret the videos are to the studio, saying that they moved them to their Culver City location "in an unmarked truck was accompanied by armed guards in the dead of the night."

When the Jackson tapes were in an editing bay, security guards were posted outside the door and no Internet access was allowed in the room.

The footage has "monetary value inherent in their potential for future uses," the studio says, which "includes one or more 'anniversary editions.'"

Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial begins this fall.

No one knows if Brad Womack and Emily Maynard are still together.

Well, presumably the two of them do, and perhaps little Ricki does.

But as far as celebrity gossip reports go, there's no telling what's legit and what's not. Rumors of trouble in paradise surfaced 3-4 weeks ago.

As recently as last Monday, however, conflicting reports suggested that the couple had reunited and that it felt so good. Now we get this ...

BACHELOR HEARTBREAK: Is it over? For good this time?

On April 29, according to Life & Style, Brad Womack and Emily Maynard met in Texas. They seemed awkward, uncomfortable and distant at the Oasis in Lake Travis.

In between dining out, they spent much of the weekend holed up in Brad's apartment, and not for the usual fun reasons a couple stays holed up in an apartment.

Life & Style says that Emily called Brad just weeks earlier to tell him it was over. Brad was left stunned and flew Emily down in hopes of changing her mind.

"It's not fair. Emily isn't the woman she acted like on The Bachelor," says Brad's mom Pamela, supposedly, to a friend. "Pamela thinks Emily's too young."

After an intense three days together, Brad took Emily to the airport, where they shared a final hug goodbye before she headed back to Charlotte, N.C.

That's that. Theoretically. They may get back together any second for all we know.
