R Kelly trial: Day Three

Eight jurors were selected today (May 13) in R Kelly.'s pornography trial.

The panel, which will eventually be made up of 12 jurors and four alternates, now has five men and three women, and is split evenly between black and white members.

Making up the panel so far are a teacher's assistant, a married man in his 40s, a criminal justice student, an investment firm compliance officer and a man with prior jury experience, reports the Chicago Tribune.

These jurors join the three others selected yesterday, including a pastor's wife and a self-described Christian.

The juror selection at the Cook County Courthouse in Chicago is expected to take about a week, and the trial itself could last several weeks.

If Kelly is found guilty of the charges, he could face up to 15 years in prison.

Kelly faces child pornography charges for allegedly videotaping himself having sex with a minor some time between 1998 and 2000.

The Grammy-winning artist is due to release a new album in July.

Pete Doherty - Doherty Wants To Start Album From Scratch


Rocker PETE DOHERTY is considering scrapping the songs he's already recorded for his forthcoming solo album - because his recent spell in jail has forced him to re-evaluate the musical direction of his new release.

The Babyshambles frontman was released from London's Wormwood Scrubs prison last month (May08) after serving 29 days of his 14-week sentence for probation violation relating to his previous drug and driving offences.

And he admits he is keen to start his album all over again by travelling to Portugal and Paris, France to find inspiration - if only he wasn't barred from doing so by his bail conditions.

He says, "I've re-thought everything about what I'm going to do with the solo record.

"(But) I'm not allowed out of the country until my probation licence is up, which is a little while."

Doherty has been working on the album for the past 12 months and is due to release his solo LP at the end of the year (08).

June 5, 2008 () - Christina Aguilera filmed a PSA for 'Rock the Vote 2008' campaign that shows her cradling baby son Max, wrapped in an American flag, in her arms and singing to him "America the Beautiful" as a lullaby.

The shoot for the campaign, which urges young voters to have their say in the forthcoming Presidential elections, lasted half a day.

"She sang a cappella, and her son was so well behaved," Rock the Vote executive director Heather Smith told E! Online. "She got it on the first take."

"We decided it was time for a new generation of artists to speak to young people," Smith explained. "This image really shows the country's 44 million young Americans that the future is in our hands."

The ad will air in a few weeks along with a co-ordinate print media campaign.
