Los Angeles - The Beverly Hills fashion designer Anand Jon Alexander was found guilty Thursday of sexually assaulting seven girls and young women whom he lured with promises of modeling careers, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The verdict came after a two-month trial that offered a sordid portrait of the fashion world. Prosecutors accused the Indian-born Alexander of using the promise of modeling jobs to lure young women and girls as young as 14 to an apartment where he acted out sadistic fantasies.
Los Angeles - Kenny Chesney took the entertainer of the year prize for the fourth time in five years at the Country Music Awards in Nashville, while former American Idol winner Carrie Underwood was named female vocalist of the year. Brad Paisley also repeated in the male and vocalist of the year category.
Chesney's win late Wedneasday helped him consolidate his status as the undisputed king of country music.
Los Angeles - Seven proved to be a lucky number for the undefeated Los Angeles Lakers, but not for the previously unbeaten Atlanta Hawks.
Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher scored 20 points apiece, and Lakers held off the New Orleans Hornets 93-86 on Wednesday night, to become the only unblemished team left in the league.
Spain's Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum added 14 points apiece for the Lakers, whose 7-0 start matches their fastest since the 2001-02 season.
The Lakers built a 23-point cushion that was trimmed to 83-80. However, Bryant buried his only 3-pointer over closely-guarded James Posey with 1:08 remaining that doubled the score.
"I just wanted to shoot it in his face," Bryant said. "I knew I was due."
Los Angeles - Al Horford was unstoppable and the high-flying Atlanta Hawks remained unbeaten in the NBA.
Horford had a career-high 27 points, 17 rebounds and six blocks as the Hawks rolled to their sixth straight victory, 113-108 over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.
"Everybody knows we're shorthanded with Josh Smith (ankle injury) being out," teammate Mo Evans said. "And for us to be undefeated after six, Al was huge."
The Hawks are off to best start since opening the 1997-98 season with 11 straight wins, but it's no surprise to Hawks guard Mike Bibby.
Los Angeles - The Detroit Pistons' second game with newly-acquired Allen Iverson was worse than the first.
Reserve Tony Allen scored 23 points, Ray Allen had 17 and the Celtics rolled to their fourth straight victory by punishing the Pistons 88-76 in Iverson's home-debut at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
"It was our best defence of the year by far, and it was all game," Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said. "We had active hands, were physical, got up in their bodies, and it was neat to see."
