VAN NUYS, Calif. (Reuters) - The judge in actor Robert Blake's murder trial on Monday banned television cameras from her courtroom during witness testimony in a proceeding nearly overshadowed by the antics of the onetime child star.
Blake, best known as a tough-as-nails cop on the hit series "Baretta," emerged from the courthouse eating a hot dog, then borrowed a guitar from a street musician and performed a quick rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" for reporters.
The strange scene suggested that Blake, who normally shies away from reporters, was not to be outdone by singer Michael Jackson -- who ended a Santa Barbara court appearance on child molestation charges last month by climbing on his car and shuffling through a few dance steps.

Dean Calls FCC Probe of Breast Incident 'Silly'

Howard Dean, a physician and a Democratic presidential candidate, on Monday dismissed as "silly" a government inquiry into whether indecency rules were broken during the broadcast of the Super Bowl halftime show when pop diva Janet Jackson's bodice was ripped to expose her right breast.
"I find that to be a bit of a flap about nothing," the former Vermont governor said. "I'm probably affected in some ways by the fact that I'm a doctor, so it's not exactly an unusual phenomenon for me."

Ah, OK, I get it - since he is a doctor, he's seen a human breast before - professionally, I guess. Well OK - so like if our kids had medical degrees they wouldn't be morally compromised by a multi-million dollar stage act of a rich white kid assaulting an older black woman for fun and profit...
