Ah, the perks of fame. Unlike us regular folk (although I’ve yet to be called – knock on wood!) Madonna was sent home from jury duty because she was “too famous.” The superstar showed up earlier today at an NYC courthouse, but was excused 2 hours later. To top if off, she never even had to mingle with the rest of the people in the jury assembly room: she was allowed to hang out in the clerk’s office. A court official said Madonna was released because they had more than enough jurors to fill the needs of the courts…and then added that her presence would create a distraction in the jury selection process, which we all know was the only real reason! Must be nice!
NFL: Update, Riley Cooper Excused From Eagles
Now, this does not mean Riley Cooper has been released by the Eagles, at least not yet. The Eagles have excused Riley from team activities indefinitely, so he can attend sensitivity training. The reasoning seems to be that team officials are smart enough to realize the atmosphere in the locker room is still very tense and it might be in the best interest of the team if Cooper is not around for now. Hit the jump to see what they said.
