Kobe Bryant in Court -- This Time It's Consensual

Kobe Bryant lost on an L.A. Court last night, and he's rebounded in the O.C. today -- Kobe's on jury duty.

Kobe Bryant
Kobe is at the Orange County Civil Courthouse in Santa Ana, waiting to be called for service. We got a pic of the famous Laker/former defendant clearing the metal detector. He was escorted into the building by Sheriff's deputies and taken to a private room near the Jury Assembly Room.

Now get this. Kobe is in a pool that has been assigned to a case. He'll be questioned and then the lawyers will decide if he's a true juror of their clients' peers. Will Kobe get picked?

Stay tuned ...

Steve Carell Hates Him Some TMZ

In not so many words, comedian Steve Carell made it very clear that he's not a fan of our cameras.


"The Office" star was at a Los Angeles courthouse this afternoon doing his civil duty as a juror, when we asked if he had any words on Heath Ledger or any advice for Britney Spears. Though his mouth said "No thanks," his eyes said, "F**k off!"

Fantasia Excused from Jury Duty

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Lawyers allowed juror Fantasia Barrino, the 2004 "American Idol" winner, to leave a case in mid-deliberations after learning the singer had to attend a benefit concert in New York.

Barrino, a High Point native who now owns a home in southeast Charlotte, was chosen Wednesday to serve on a Mecklenburg County Superior Court jury in a motor vehicle negligence case.

"People recognized her right away," said Charles Keller, a court system administrator. "Jurors started coming up to her taking pictures with their camera phones and getting autographs."

Testimony took less than a day, and Judge W. David Lee sent jurors out to deliberate late Wednesday, Keller said. But when it became apparent that deliberations would continue into Thursday, lawyers agreed that Barrino was free to go.

Keller said he was among the court employees who had their picture snapped with the celebrity juror.

"She's just really nice, down to earth," he said. "Not at all what you'd expect."

Barrino, 21, was to attend the benefit concert on Thursday.
