A jury has found R. Kelly not guilty of fourteen counts of child pornography.

Kelly – who has long been rumored to be sexually “into” young girls – has denied that it is him in the video with the 13-year-old girl, six years ago. The victim also denied it was her in the film even though numerous witnesses claim that both Kelly and the victim were indeed the ones in the footage.

Unbelievable.

Nick (Bollea) Hogan has been denied his request (hooray!) to be let out of the jail’s solitary confinement and into general population or house arrest. Nick’s attorneys claim the seclusion is cruel and unusual punishment and that it’s unbearable for him to be in there 16-17 hours a day. We wonder if he’d rather be in a coma 24/7?

Also in Nick Hogan news, Nick has decided to sue the Florida Sheriff’s department that released the phone calls he made from jail to his mother and father. The lawsuit names privacy rights and is seeking to prevent further tapes from being released. Last time I checked you pretty much lose all your rights when incarcerated. Maybe he should exercise his right to shut the f@*% up! Nick’s attorney says, “Nick only asks that he be treated no differently than the other inmates at the Pinellas County Jail. Instead, the Sheriff’s Office has singled him out by the unprecedented release to the media of his personal calls with his family.”

Those crazy Lohan’s are at it again. Michael Lohan has reopened the divorce case saying that his ex-wife, Dina Lohan, won’t allow him to see his children. He also accuses her of often showing up to therapy sessions late and/or drunk off her ass. He says she failed to bring the children to 15 of 29 judge-ordered visits with their father. He adds that Dina prioritizes her relationship with her children as such: First, as their manager, Secondly as their friend, and Lastly, as their mother. The two were scheduled to appear in court this morning, with Dina facing “immediate arrest and imprisonment” if she didn’t show.

Lisa Van Allen, R. Kelly’s former lover, is coming forward with tales of the R&B star’s predatory sex practices. She claims he carried a duffel bag of sex tapes with him no matter where he went. She says she was introduced to the under-aged victim before having a threesome, but once Van Allen began crying Kelly became upset and quit filming saying he couldn’t do anything with the footage. She also claims he tried to retrieve the video from her by offering $250,000. Kelly’s attorneys claim Van Allen stole a $20,000 Rolex from the singer and that she may have set him up in order to extort money.

Megan Fox admits she has a higher sex drive than most teenage boys! Just what the millions of men around the world wanted to hear. The drop dead gorgeous Transformers star says, “I have the libido of a teenage boy. I’d rather have sex all the time than leave the house.” After that, she should be careful when she does leave the house! You can pick your tongue off the ground now, guys..

Will the Mole Save the Day?

R. Kelly’s trial is finally underway after 6 years of his attorneys successfully delaying the court process.

Opening arguments were Tuesday and Kelly’s legal team claims that the man in the video couldn’t possibly be their client as he has a prominent mole on his back. They claim the mole has been there since Kelly’s childhood. No mole is seen on the back of the man appearing in the video.

Mole-y! Mole-y! Mole-y!!

“There is no mole on his back,” said Sam Adam Jr., a member of Kelly’s defense team. “Robert Kelly is not on that tape. Not a single witness can tell you that is him on the tape.”

The girl in the questionable film, who is now of legal age, also claims that it’s not her in the video. The defense says that woman is actually a prostitute seen accepting money at the beginning and end of the video.

The couple engage in sexual acts on a bearskin rug and later the female dances and calls the male, “Daddy.”

Prosecutors claim the video was set up by R. Kelly and could have longterm effects on the victim. “A child doesn’t choose to be violated and placed on a videotape, a videotape that will live on forever – long after this child becomes an adult,” Cook County prosecutor Shauna Boliker said.

Kelly faces 15 years in prison if convicted.

Protesters to Demonstrate at R. Kelly Concert This Friday

Spicy — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 13:14:24 +0000

Activists are planning to demonstrate at R. Kelly’s concert in Los Angeles this coming Friday to protest him touring while awaiting trial on 14 counts of child pornography.

Kelly’s trial isn’t until Spring of 2008.

African-American campaigners want to remind the public of what the rapper has been accused of. They don’t want Kelly’s fame to overshadow the seriousness of his case.

Activist Jasmyne Cannick says,

“It’s like pulling teeth to get people to talk about this. It’s a challenge to get the black community to even discuss it. They’re acting like he doesn’t have 14 counts of child pornography against him.We’re all acting like we don’t have daughters and nieces and little sisters.

Everyone is making money, and everyone seems OK with him. People really need to wake up.”
