| Spector trial on recess due to graphic images The judge on the Phil Spector murder trial yesterday (June 19) ordered a recess following the viewing of photographic evidence of Lana Clarkson's body. Photos of the actress showed blood oozing from her mouth and nose, as criminologist Lynne Herold described the ways in which blood splatters when it leaves a wound. Phil Spector is being tried for the murder of the actress, who was found dead in his home in February 2003. He is denying that he killed her, and is saying she accidentally shot herself. Herold referred to the smeared blood found on the gun, and said she assumed that "no law enforcement personnel moved it." Spector's chauffeur Adriano DeSouza previously testified that the music producer emerged from his mansion on the night in question with a gun in his hand and said 'I think I killed somebody'. Herold also said based on the photographs of the body that someone had moved Clarkson's head before police arrived. She said blood spatter can not travel more than three feet from a bullet entry-point. Spector's defense team previously said blood can travel up to six feet. The defense team's forensics expert Dr. Henry Lee is expected to revisit this issue in further testimonies. Lee was recently discredited in the courtroom when former Spector defense lawyer Sara Caplan said she saw him place a small, flat white object in a vial. The object is thought to be an acrylic fingernail belonging to Clarkson and would give some evidence to the prosecutions claim that she tried to avoid being shot. Lee is denying such an object exists, but Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler ruled that Caplan's claim is the truth. Caplan meanwhile, is refusing to give this evidence in front of a jury, citing laywer-client privilege. As a result, the judge has sentenced her to jail for contempt. The trial is expected to continue tomorrow |
Kate Nash slams Spice Girls reunion Kate Nash has slammed The Spice Girls for reuniting, declaring "it's just about the money". The singer who releases her debut album 'Made Of Bricks' today (August 6), said she is unimpressed by the resurgent Girl Power outfit. "I'm not excited about it at all," she told the Mirror. "Why do they have to do it? Do they need to do it? It's obviously just about money. I think it will be embarrassing. They're all older now so to kind of still wanna be The Spice Girls is just, I dunno... Just grow up!" Nash went on to also stick the knife into 'X-Factor' contestants. "No one who goes on that show wants to be a musician - no one is an actual artist. People go on because they want to be famous," she said. "They're not thinking, 'I want to go into the studio and record my own songs that I've written.'" |
'The Producers' brings down the curtain Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom said goodbye Sunday to Broadway, as "The Producers," the hit Mel Brooks musical, ended its New York run after 2,502 performances. It was an emotional, highly charged matinee at the St. James Theatre as the show's current Max (John Treacy Egan) and Leo (Hunter Foster) led the company through the show ? to raucous cheers, particularly during its legendary "Springtime for Hitler" number. At the curtain after the cast took its bows, Brooks came on stage with director-choreographer Susan Stroman and co-book writer Thomas Meehan to even more wild applause. "It has been the best experience for me since World War II. And (with) just about as much noise," joked Brooks, who also wrote the show's music and lyrics. "We have had six years ... of frolic and joy, and you have been such an incredibly good audience to really cap it off and give us such a rich, final performance. I love everybody on stage, backstage and out front." "We love you, Mel," yelled a voice from the audience, which included a contingent of "Producers," fans, many of whom had come back to see the musical for one last time. "It's a madcap, merry tribute to New York," said James Kabel, a wardrobe supervisor at the Metropolitan Opera, who was on his fourth visit. "It's wonderful." The show, which won a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards including best musical, was one of the most critically praised stage productions of the last decade. It was based on Brooks' 1968 film about two charlatan producers who scam little old ladies out of their money to put on a flop Broadway show about Adolf Hitler. "The Producers" grossed more than $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales, from productions that played not only in New York and around the country, but worldwide, including an extended engagement in London. "The Producers" originally starred Nathan Lane as Max and Matthew Broderick as Leo, and featured Cady Huffman as Ulla, Gary Beach as Roger de Bris and Roger Bart as Carmen Ghia. The show, which opened April 19, 2001, was such a hit that the top ticket price was raised the next day from $91 to $100 ? a $99 top price plus $1 for theater restoration. "The Producers" also ushered in the era of so-called "premium tickets," the best in the house, for which theatergoers were charged $480. These days, all Broadway shows sell them, and cost from $100 to $250 more than regular ticket prices, which, for most musicals, now are $110 or more. The St. James, one of Broadway's prime musical houses, is expected to be the home of Brooks' next production, "Young Frankenstein," based on his 1974 movie. Stroman will also direct, with a score by Brooks and a book co-written by him and Meehan. The musical is planned for this fall. No casting has been announced. |
