Erykah Badu defended her decision to strip naked for her new music vid, Window Seat, in the spot where JFK was assassinated on Wanda Sykes' show over the weekend.
"My point was grossly misunderstood all over America," she said on the chat fest. "JFK is one of my heroes, one of the nation's heroes. ... John F. Kennedy was a revolutionary; he was not afraid to butt heads with America, and I was not afraid to show America my butt-naked truth."
Badu apparently also wasn't afraid to get arrested. The directors of the controversial Window Seat told MTV, "We had bail money and everything," Coodie said. "I think she really wanted to get arrested and even make a bigger message."

Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko grabbed dinner in West Hollywood last night, and the petite Heroes honey wasn't in the mood to pose for pictures with her much larger boyfriend. Or maybe she was embarrassed about her fug, slicked back hairdo?

A practice track from a studio session where Jennifer Lopez was apparently trying to cover Barbra Streisand's Enough is Enough was leaked to the web, and we gotta say, not nearly as bad as you'd think!
If it even IS J. Lo (and the talking voice def sounds like her), at least she was aware when she was off-key and even sounding pretty darn good when she was on it!
Check it out above and tell us, do YOU think it's her?

Dr. Conrad Murray will appear before a judge at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Los Angeles this afternoon at 1:30pm, but his legal team will ask that his criminal case be moved to another date.
Dr. Murray's lead attorney Ed Chernoff released this statement:
"We will be requesting a reset date to enable the prosecution to provide the remainder of the discovery documents. We also anticipate discussing the request for amendment of bail conditions, filed by the California Attorney General."
A source tells X17online exclusively that Dr. Murray's team is asking for the reset because the prosecution has yet to provide all of the evidence against Murray. There's also worry that if his medical license is revoked in California, then Nevada and Texas may also follow suit.
Our source adds, "If that happens, then he'll have no way to support himself and his family, as well as no way to pay for his legal defense."
Dr. Conrad Murray currently has a girlfriend and child that live here in the Los Angeles area. Although he does have a medical license in California, Dr. Murray has never really practiced in the state. His only client in California was Michael Jackson.
Murray has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, and the DA has filed docs alleging that the doctor "unlawfully, and without malice, kill[ed] Michael Joseph Jackson ... in the commission of an unlawful act, not a felony; and in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner, and without due caution and circumspection."
If convicted of the charges, Murray faces a maximum sentence of four years in prison.

Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Kingston and Zuma joined Hollywood's A-List at Universal chief Ron Meyer's home Sunday, where the boys sported matching Easter outfits.
The star-studded bash included Meyer's son-in-law Tobey Maguire, Barbra Streisand, Goldie Hawn, Kevin James and hundreds of other celebs.
The Meyers' Malibu party is an Easter tradition where kids go for an egg hunt on a vast lawn overlooking the Pacific Ocean. But we certainly hope the Stefani-Rossdales won't make a habit of dressing themselves (or their boys) like that for Easters in the future!

One of Tiger Woods' alleged mistresses, porn-star Joslyn James, will be holding a press conference today in New York following Tiger's own presser from Augusta, Georgia.
James previously held a press conference following Tiger's public apology, where she demanded an "I'm sorry" of her own, but has still yet to receive one and will be announcing today "what she will do next."
Gloria Allred's star client will also be "reacting" to Woods' conference as she watches with her attorney at the NY Friar's club.
But James isn't the only one we'll be getting a reaction from today. "Ms. Allred will also react to Mr. Wood's news conference," says a statement released today to X17online from her office. "She also represents Tiger's kindergarten teacher who said on Friday that she deserves an apology for what she alleges was Tiger Woods' lie that on the first day of kindergarten he was tied to a tree, had the "N" word sprayed on him, rocks thrown at him and that the teacher really didn't do much of anything about it. The teacher stated that the incident never occurred and was never reported."
In addition, "Ms. Allred will also explain why she believes that Tiger Woods should not be playing at the Masters'. Ms. Allred and Ms. James will explain why they will or will not go to the Masters' to see Tiger play this week."
Stay tuned for the fascinating answer to those and other questions following Tiger's conference at 2pm EST.
