Nuclear Beef

Hasselhoff claims he had hand in Berlin Wall falling

Speaking to German magazine TV Spielfilm, Hasselhoff said in 1989, the year the wall fell, he had helped reunite the country by singing his song 'Looking for Freedom' among millions of German fans at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

He said he felt he had moved people on both sides of the wall, although he admitted hardly any of the East Germans could speak English. He said: "I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Check-Point Charlie.

"After my appearance I hacked away at pieces of the wall that had the black, red and yellow colours of the German flag on it. I kept the big piece for myself and gave the smaller pieces to colleagues at Baywatch."

I never really understood the Austrian/German fascination with David Hasselhoff. I mean, ok, Kitt is a bitchin Camaro for sure. But Michael Knight? Pfft.

R. Kelly Isn't Allowed To Be Friends With Michael Jackson

A judge has given R&B star R. Kelly permission to attend the Grammy Awards, but told Kelly that he had to stay away from his one-time collaborator Michael Jackson.

...

Kelly is awaiting trial on 21 counts of child pornography stemming from a tape that allegedly shows him having sex with an underage girl. Police arrested Kelly in June 2002 after receiving the tape anonymously. Jacko is, of course, having problems of his own after being arrested last November on seven counts of child molestation

The only thing I don't get here is how one tape can result in 21 counts of child pornography. I guess he really doesn't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind.
