Rogen And Franco Shock With Drugs Skit At MTV Movie Awards
Seth Rogen and James Franco stunned the star-studded audience at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday (1Jun08) by pretending to smoke marijuana onstage. The pair stepped up to present an award for Best Summer movie and to promote their new stoner film Pineapple Express. TV cameras at Universal City, California's Gibson Amphitheatre panned out as Rogen and Franco produced a bag of what appeared to be marijuana, and lit a joint. While stars like Rihanna and former drug addict Robert Downey Jr looked on stunned and uncomfortable, the pair smoked the cigarette and told the audience, "We're not pot heads at all. We don't smoke weed at all. This is not weed. And we're not really smoking a fat joint on live television at the moment." They then called Downey Jr. onstage to collect the Award for movie Iron Man. The actor left question marks about the authenticity of the drugs, telling Rogen and Franco, "Thank you for that intoxicating introduction."

R. Kelly jurors begin deliberating
Sex tape played during closing arguments
CHICAGO -- Jurors began deliberating in R. Kelly's child pornography trial Thursday with the graphic sex tape at the center of the case fresh in their minds.
Prosecutors replayed the video during closing arguments, while defense attorneys reiterated that it's neither Kelly nor the person the state says was the underage girl -- now a 23-year-old woman -- on the tape. For three weeks, jurors have heard family members of the alleged victim, basketball coaches, forensics experts and others testify as to their identities.
While the tape rolled for a second time -- the first was during opening statements last month -- prosecutors told jurors that the man is Kelly, and that he controlled the encounter with the underage female, who was as young as 13 at the time.
"We're going to see his direction," Assistant State's Attorney Robert Heilengoetter said as the video played. He is "directing her to dance, where to stand, when to stop urinating," he said.
Kelly denies that the man in the video is him.
At one point in the video, entered into evidence as "People's Exhibit No. 1," the female dances and urinates on the floor -- the man out of view. Back in view, he has sex with her. In one scene near the end of the video, alluded to in one count of the indictment, the man urinates on the female.
The monthlong trial has centered on whether Kelly is the man who appears on the 27-minute videotape, and whether a female who also appears on it is underage.
Kelly, 41, has pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of child pornography. Both he and the alleged victim, now 23, deny being on the tape and neither testified at trial.
Defense attorney Sam Adam Jr. told jurors that charges against Kelly came about because people were trying to extort money from the Grammy winner because the man on the tape "may favor him."
"That's what this is about -- money, money, money," Adam said.
He also suggested that prosecutors pressured people into testifying against Kelly.
Over seven days presenting their case, prosecutors called 22 witnesses, including several childhood friends of the alleged victim and four of her relatives who identified her as the female on the video. Some said she had referred to Kelly as her "godfather."
In just two days, Kelly's lawyers called 12 witnesses. They included three relatives of the alleged victim who testified they did not recognize her as the female on the tape.
Adam said that the alleged victim's relatives know it's not her on the video because "any solid man in that family, any solid woman in that family would have gone over there and broken his legs, would have gone over there and beat the crap out of him."
The family also would have arranged for an order of protection against Kelly, but none of that happened, Adam said.

One of the finest trombonists to emerge from the bop era, Kai Winding was incessantly to an extent overshadowed by J.J. Johnson, although they co-led one of the most popular jazz groups of the mid-'50s. Born in Denmark, Winding emigrated to the U.S. with his menage when he was 12. He had short stints with the orchestras of Alvino Rey and Sonny Dunham, and played in a service dance orchestra in the Coast Guard for trey age. Winding's first burst of fame occurred during his year with Stan Kenton's Orchestra (1946-1947), during which his phrasing influenced and was adopted by the other trombonists, leading to a permanent change in the Kenton sound. He as well participated in some early boP roger Huntington Sessions, played with Tadd Dameron (1948-1949), and was on one of the Miles Davis' nonet's illustrious recording roger Huntington Sessions. After playing with the large bands of Charlie Ventura and Benny Goodman, he formed a quintet with J.J. Johnson (1954-1956); the two trombonists (world Health Organization sounded nearly monovular at the time) had occasional reunions subsequently sledding their ramify shipway. Winding light-emitting diode a four-trombone septet off and on through the latter half of the fifties and into the '60s, was music film director for the Playboy clubs in New York, and during 1971-1972 worked with the Giants of Jazz (an all-star group with Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt, and Thelonious Monk). Although he recorded ofttimes both as a leader and a sideman passim his vocation, most of Winding's roger Sessions are not currently useable on CD.
