PETA says ad featuring Silverstone will debut
An animal rights group says Alicia Silverstone appears naked in a television ad promoting vegetarianism that was to debut Wednesday in Houston.
The 30-second ad was to air about two dozen times in Houston on Wednesday, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said.
PETA said Houston was picked for the commercial's launch because it is often high on lists of cities with unhealthy eating habits. Houston was named the sixth fattest city in the nation by Men's Fitness magazine this year.
Silverstone is shown emerging from a swimming pool and talking about the benefits of being a vegetarian.
She obscures the view of her body with her arms as she gets out of the pool, PETA said.
“I wasn't always a vegetarian, but I've always loved animals,” the 30-year-old actress said in a statement. “Physically, the effect has been amazing.”
Zsa Zsa recovering from surgery, says husband
Zsa Zsa Gabor was recovering Tuesday after undergoing surgery for infections in her legs, her husband said.
“The operation was successful, she's in recovery and in a couple of days she'll be OK,” Frederic Von Anhalt said in a telephone interview from Gabor's room at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The 90-year-old actress has remained partially paralyzed from a 2002 car accident, forcing her to use a wheelchair and walker and leading to infections in her legs. “She's been inactive for the last four years,” her publicist John Blanchette said.
Spector trial foreman says jury at impasse
The foreman of the jury in Phil Spector's murder trial said Tuesday that the panel is at an impasse, and the judge told lawyers he was considering allowing the panel to consider a lesser charge.
The juror told Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler the jury was split 7 to 5, but he did not indicate which way it was leaning.
The judge asked if there was any way he could help, including re-reading specific instructions or clarifying instructions, or even having attorneys re-argue part or all of the case.
“At this time I don't believe that anything else will change the positions of the jurors,” the foreman responded.
Polled individually, some jurors agreed with the foreman and others disagreed. One suggested further instruction about reasonable doubt.
The record producer is charged with second-degree murder, and the judge previously ruled that the panel would decide only that charge and not consider lesser charges such as manslaughter.
