...KELLY trial begins. Motion to have jury selection at Miley Cyrus concert denied...
...Last December, the singer failed to make a scheduled court appearance after Utah authorities stopped his speeding tour bus. All the while, Kelly made millions with various projects - including 2005's acclaimed hip-hopera, Trapped in the Closet. There was much skepticism about whether Kelly, 41, would ever face trial. Even on Tuesday morning, amid opening arguments, there was nearly a mistrial after one of the case's lead detectives used the word "investigation" on the witness stand - violating a court order barring the term...

So deep is Horne's loyalty, she claims to have skipped two days of school just to attend the trial. About 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Kelly strutted outside the courthouse on Chicago's South Side. "We love you, R-Uh," Horne's crew screamed, as if on cue. A car filled with seemingly teenaged girls stopped in the middle of South California Avenue to watch Kelly leap into a black...
