Caylee Anthony Update 2 June


More than 200 pages of transcripts from interviews with two Orange County Jail officials were filed in court this afternoon in the case against Casey Anthony, a 23-year-old accused of killing her daughter.

Lt. Tammy Unser and Sgt. Billy Richardson were questioned last month about what happened at the jail on Dec. 11 the day the remains of Anthony's 2-year-old daughter were found less than a mile from her family home.

Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee Marie.

Unser and Richardson were questioned by Anthony's defense team, including Jose Baez and Linda Kenney Baden. Prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick also was present.

Unser testified that a commander at the Orange County Sheriff's Office instructed jail officials to take Anthony to the medical facility where she could see the news reports on the television. A video recorded Anthony's reaction as she sat there for more than 30 minutes, according to the deposition.

Richardson told attorneys that he thought it was "a little cruel that they were doing this to her," he said. When asked about it, Unser agreed, saying it was unnecessary. (It seems like the commander just wanted to see what her reaction would be. It's no better than those prison guards that would make the inmates fight for their own enjoyment. What mother wouldn't freak out when they find out that their child is dead? So there is no way that the video would be useful in court.)

Baez has asked Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland to prevent the video from being released to the public.

Strickland has not ruled on the issue.

Monique Coleman's New Hair


I kind of like Monique Coleman's new natural hair. But the above photo at the MTV Movie Awards looks horrible, the hair doesn't go with the dress. She wore a sleek white gown to the Hero Awards and the result was much better. Even if the hair could have been a little better styled. Why does every African-American actress have to have a stick straight weave or lace front wig any way?

XBox 360 Natal



My children are lifelong Nintendo fans and even they have to admit that Microsoft's "Project Natal" for the XBox 360 is cool. Microsoft will be bringing Minority Report style game interaction to the market. Instead of using a controller the add-on uses a sensor bar similar to that of the Wii. Except that the Natal uses cameras to track body movements, making the player the controller.

I'm not an engineer, so watch the video to understand what I am babbling about.

MTV Movie Awards has 'WTF' moment: Half-naked Sacha Baron Cohen surprises Eminem

The vampires of "Twilight" swept the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night, but the promised "WTF" moment came when a half-naked Sacha Baron Cohen forced a flustered Eminem to make an early exit.

The rapper and the comic went cheek to cheek when the nearly bare-bottomed Cohen, in character as gay fashionista Bruno, swooped into Eminem's face.

"Get this m-----f----r off of me!" Eminem snapped as Cohen - sporting feathery white angel wings and a matching jockstrap - plunged from the ceiling onto the unsuspecting rapper, who was seated after performing.

Eminem's entourage yanked Cohen off their boss before the platinum-selling rapper bolted the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, Calif.

MTV censors managed to bleep Eminem's outburst from the live show.

"That was really weird," said "High School Musical 3" star Zac Efron, who was supposed to receive a best male performance award from Cohen.

The bizarre exchange launched a ton of Twitters as people pondered whether the crash landing was a setup - although one witness said the real Slim Shady was really steamed.

"He was pretty mad," said Carla Gentry Osorio, a Harlem hair stylist seated near the exit where Eminem stormed out. "He practically walked into a camera. He couldn't leave fast enough."

Once the dust settled, the night's big winners were the bloodsucking crew from "Twilight," which grabbed five awards. The flick took MTV's buckets of golden popcorn for best movie, best fight (Robert Pattinson and co-star Cam Gigandet) and best kiss (Pattinson and co-star Kristen Stewart).

"I have to say thank you to my stunt double," said Pattinson, giving credit where credit was due for the fight award.

Pattinson also won for breakthrough male performance, eliciting shrieks of delight from his female fans. And Stewart won for best female performance.

Amy Poehler won the first official MTV Movie Awards "WTF" prize for her peeing-in-the-sink scene from "Baby Mama."
