Singer has been cited for disorderly conduct after a video-shoot witness filed a complaint with Dallas police. By Josh Wigler Erykah Badu in her video for “Window Seat” Photo: Universal Motown R&B singer Erykah Badu is learning the hard way that the naked truth isn’t always such a good thing. Having made headlines throughout the past week for shooting a music video for “Window Seat” while completely in the buff, Badu has been charged with disorderly conduct after police officers in Dallas received a formal complaint over the nude shoot, TMZ reported Friday (April 2). According to the site, a Texas woman filed an indecency complaint with police officials after she and her mother witnessed Badu shooting the guerrilla-style video completely naked. Erykah Badu’s ‘Window Seat’: Shot By Shot Dallas Police Department Senior Corporal Janice Crowther spoke with MTV News earlier this week and revealed that Badu and her colleagues did not file an official permit requesting to shoot the “Window Seat” music video, which filmed near the same spot where President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dealey Plaza in 1963. “They definitely did not get a permit,” Crowther said. “To shoot that video, they would have had to get a special-events permit from the events office, and it would have had to specify what type of filming they were doing, what subjects they would use and any traffic control they would need.” Indeed, directors Coodie and Chike of Creative Control revealed to MTV News that they did not seek out permits for the shoot and were well aware of potential attention from law-enforcement officials. Chike said Badu was fully prepared for the consequences. “We had bail money and everything,” Coodie said. “I think she really wanted to get arrested and even make a bigger message.” Do you think Badu should have been charged for her video shoot?

Murray is charged with manslaughter in the pop star’s 2009 death. By Kelley L. Carter Conrad Murray Photo: Toby Canham/ Getty Images Dr. Conrad Murray, who is being charged with manslaughter for the death of pop superstar Michael Jackson, has said in court papers that he must be granted the right to continue practicing medicine, otherwise, he won’t be able to pay for his defense in the case. Murray was responding to a bid by the California attorney general to suspend his license pending trial, The Associated Press reports. Attorneys for the doctor say if that were to happen, the results would be devastating for the financially strapped Murray. “He is, without fear of overstatement, hanging on by a thread,” the attorneys wrote. “His ability to pay for his own defense depends almost entirely on his ability to continue to treat patients.” Murray, who is due back in court on Monday, has pleaded not guilty to the involuntary-manslaughter charges brought up against him in Jackson’s death; the singer was administered anesthetic propofol and other drugs by Murray. Should he be suspended in California — where he no longer practices — his lawyers fear there might be a domino effect in Texas and Nevada, where the bulk of his practice is. “If Dr. Murray is unable to practice medicine in Texas, and especially Nevada, he will likely be faced with the inability to adequately defend himself of the charges facing him in the Superior Court of California,” his lawyers wrote. “The case with which he is charged will require intensive attorney work and fees. In light of the fact that much of his defense will be scientifically based and involves the death of an internationally famous decedent, expenses for his defense will be considerable.” Lawyers for Murray also say that should he be suspended, he’d struggle to pay child support. The AP also reports that court records show financial woes aren’t new to Murray, and they date back to when he signed on in May at $150,000 per month to keep Jackson healthy through a series of comeback shows planned in London. At that time, he owed at least $780,000 for settlements against his business, outstanding mortgage payments on his house, delinquent student loans, child support and credit cards. He also faced near foreclosure on his Las Vegas country-club home. In January, he made a payment of $1,003 on a $15,500 child-support debt involving a California woman and her 11-year-old son. The next month, he failed to appear at a Las Vegas court proceeding and was found in default on a $132,000 debt related to office and medical equipment and services.

‘Greatest American Hero’ star was 79. By Josh Wigler Robert Culp Photo: Michael Tullberg/ Getty Images Robert Culp, star of television series “I Spy” and “The Greatest American Hero,” died after falling outside of his home in Hollywood on Wednesday (March 24). The Los Angeles Times reports that Culp, 79, fell and hit his head while out for a walk in his neighborhood. A jogger discovered Culp and alerted authorities. The actor was pronounced dead shortly after his 11 a.m. arrival at Queen of Angels hospital in Los Angeles. Lieutenant Bob Binder of the LAPD told The Times that Culp’s death was “accidental and there appears to be no sign of foul play.” An autopsy by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office is currently pending. Although Culp first attained public attention in the late 1950s as Texas Ranger Hoby Gilman on Western television series “Trackdown,” the actor’s big break came in 1965 when he landed the leading role of Kelly Robinson on “I Spy,” a TV series that ran for three seasons until 1968. The program focused on Culp’s character, an international tennis player, and his trainer, Alexander Scott (Bill Cosby). Both Robinson and Scott used their sports occupation as a cover story to disguise their real jobs working as secret agents for the United States government. The show achieved critical acclaim and both Culp and Cosby were nominated for three consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Cosby won all three awards. In 1981, Culp delivered a co-starring turn as FBI Agent Bill Maxwell on “The Greatest American Hero,” an ABC television series starring William Katt as an average teacher who developed superpowers after a chance encounter with extraterrestrials. Maxwell is assigned as the teacher’s new partner. Recently, Culp held a recurring role on “Everybody Loves Raymond” as Warren Whelan, the father-in-law of Ray Romano’s character. On film, Culp was best known for playing Bob in “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice,” a critically acclaimed 1969 comedy dealing with the notions of free love and open marriage. He appeared alongside fellow actors Elliott Gould, Natalie Wood and Dyan Cannon.

The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all. Our production partners on the bottled water film include five leading sustainability groups: Corporate Accountability International, Environmental Working Group, Food & Water Watch, Pacific Institute, and Polaris Institute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se12y9hSOM0&feature=player_embedded# added by: pjacobs51

Interesting take on the Texas education board decision. When Texas' conservative-leaning Board of Education voted for new social studies standards this month, parents, teachers and lawmakers far beyond the Lone Star state — particularly the liberal ones — took notice. With the changes, Texas' curriculum is likely to de-emphasize the concept in U.S. history of separating church and state, and the influence of Thomas Jefferson on 18th century world history. It would also cast a positive light on conservatives, such as Phyllis Schlafly and the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Concerned observers have warned that those ideas could seep into textbooks throughout the country, because Texas is one of the nation's largest textbook buyers. In California last week, state Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) announced that he was working out the details of legislation that would inoculate California students from the Texas version of history. “While some Texas politicians may want to set their educational standards back 50 years, California should not be subject to their backward curriculum changes,” he said. But it is far from clear that non-Texans will be subjected to the proposed changes, once they are finalized, as expected, in May. Though none of the three major K-12 textbook publishers — Pearson Education Inc., Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and McGraw-Hill — would comment for this article, observers of the $8-billion industry offered differing views on the likelihood that Texas could wield such influence beyond its borders — in part because the textbook business, like American history itself, is a fluid affair influenced by commerce, culture, legislation and technology. Texas and California are not just the two largest textbook markets in the nation. They are also among 20 states that industry insiders refer to as “adoption” states, meaning that they choose which textbooks can be used statewide. The remaining states let local schools and districts essentially choose whatever books they want, as long as the students who read them meet state-mandated standards.
