US-ENTERTAINMENT Summary
Reuters - Wednesday, August 26
Chris Brown sentenced in LA for assault
ADVERTISEMENT
LOS ANGELES - Disgraced R&B star Chris Brown was sentenced to five years' probation and 180 days of community labor on Tuesday for beating up his then-girlfriend, pop singer Rihanna. The sentencing by a Los Angeles judge followed a plea deal. Brown, 20, pleaded guilty to assault on June 22. As part of his sentence, he must also complete a one-year domestic violence counseling program.
Coroner says Jackson died from lethal dose of propofol
HOUSTON - Pop star Michael Jackson died from a lethal dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol given in a cocktail of drugs, leading authorities to suspect his doctor of manslaughter, court documents showed on Monday. The "Thriller" singer suffered cardiac arrest and died on June 25 at age 50. Since then, an investigation by state and federal agencies have focused on Conrad Murray, Jackson's personal doctor who was at his bedside the day he died.
Jessica Biel tops list as most risky star in cyberspace
LOS ANGELES - Actress Jessica Biel has overtaken Brad Pitt as the most dangerous celebrity to search in cyberspace, according to Internet security company McAfee Inc. For the third consecutive year, McAfee surveyed which A-list celebrity was the riskiest to track on the Internet after Pitt topped the list last year and Paris Hilton came in first in 2007.
Sale falls through on crypt above Marilyn Monroe
LOS ANGELES - A $4.6 million bid submitted through online auctioneer eBay Inc for the crypt on top of Marilyn Monroe's final resting place fell through, an attorney for the seller said on Tuesday. David Camel, an attorney for Elsie Poncher, who is selling her husband's crypt in a celebrity-heavy Los Angeles cemetery, said he is going through the bids to find one that qualifies.
Pete Townshend plans new musical "Floss"
LONDON . The 1965 hit song includes the line "I hope I die before I get old".
"Extract" distilled from human stupidity
LOS ANGELES - For a comedy, "Extract" is kinda depressing. Understand that wildly dysfunctional characters have become the norm in American comedies, but the characters in "Extract" give dysfunction a bad name. Not a single person in this ensemble comedy doesn't suffer from colossal stupidity. Nor does anyone possess a moral compass. From this contrived situation, writer-director Mike Judge, the creator of "Beavis and Butt-Head" and "King of the Hill," wrings all the yuks he can. "Extract" might be live action, but it still plays like a cartoon. Miramax will in turn wring all the box office it can from "Extract," which opens September 4. There undoubtedly is an audience eager to laugh at dumb people behaving badly. Even so, it's hard to see how "Extract" will do more than modest business, with perhaps a larger audience awaiting its debut in home entertainment.
Canada police know woman with accused model killer
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - The woman who helped reality TV contestant Ryan Jenkins get a motel room where the accused murderer killed himself is not considered a threat to public, Canadian police said on Monday. Police know who the woman is and can contact her if needed, but said it was too early to say yet if she would face any charges for helping Jenkins hide in Canada after he fled the United States with police in pursuit.
Los Lonely Boys to release "1969" tribute EP
DETROIT - It was well before any of the three Garza brothers was born, but the magical music year of 1969 still contained "a lot of music we learned over the years and really influenced us," according to Los Lonely Boys bassist JoJo Garza. So the Texas trio is paying "tribute" to the year with "1969," a five-song EP that's due out October 13 and will be the first release on its own Lonely Tone label, after five years with Epic that included 2004's double-platinum "Los Lonely Boys."
Nine Inch Nails digs "Downward" at farewell NY gig
NEW YORK - Nine Inch Nails fans in New York got more than they bargained for Sunday, when the rock band played its 1994 classic "The Downward Spiral" in its entirety for the first time ever. The Trent Reznor-led act, on a "Wave Goodbye" tour of small venues, had the 1,000-strong crowd at Webster Hall drenched in sweat within minutes of launching into the punishing rock of "Mr. Self Destruct."
Nick Jonas says he dreams of being president
WASHINGTON - Teen pop star Nick Jonas, taking a break from touring with his brothers to raise awareness of juvenile diabetes, said he dreams about being U.S. president and may study political science in college. The 16-year-old singer, songwriter and member of pop trio the Jonas Bros, spoke on Monday to a sold-out audience at the National Press Club, a venue often reserved for presidents, kings and chief executives but for Jonas had many seats occupied by teenage and pre-teen girls.
