LOS ANGELES - Potential jurors in a Los Angeles court were forced to do a
double-take on Thursday when their court-room duties were enlivened by a
jolt of star power in the shape of Brad Pitt.
The Hollywood heart-throb reported for jury duty in Los Angeles, his
publicist confirmed to AFP, before eventually being discharged after the
case he was due to hear ended in a plea-deal.
The TMZ.com celebrity news website said Pitt had been ordered by justice
officials to serve on a jury or else be held in contempt of court after
being granted a string of delay orders.
Pitt's representatives denied the claim however, saying the actor had
gone through the normal legal channels to seek an extension before he
eventually reported for duty early Thursday.
TMZ said the "Seven" and "Troy" star mingled with other members of the
jury pool before being discharged when the defendant in his pleaded 'no
contest' to driving under the influence charges.
