R. Kelly Gets Pissy Over Pushy Lawyer
With his lawyers playing legal ping-pong with prosecutors in his kiddie-porn trial, R. Kelly is getting hassled by lawyers who aren't even going after him.
As the Chicago Tribune reports, a random lawyer guy named Mike Roman tried to push his own CD on Kelly as he sat alone at the defense table. With "a polite smile," Kelly said he wasn't allowed to take anything and refused the disc. The lawyer tried again and again, but Kelly – citing his gag order – insisted the lawyer leave him alone.
When other lawyers noticed the chat, Roman was taken away and briefly detained.

The pair's reps have continually denied any engagement talk.

A friend of Sarah's ex-ex, a local exec, says Larson and the guy are "just good friends."
