Sirhan Sirhan , convicted of the 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy in Los Angeles, could get a new trial based on evidence of his innocence and violations of his rights, say defense attorneys. Sirhan Sirhan’s lawyers say that an expert analysis utilizing computer technology of evidence proves that TWO guns were fired in the RFK assassination and that Sirhan’s gun was not the one that shot Kennedy. Lawyers William Pepper and Laurie Dusek say that fraud was committed in the 1969 trial of Sirhan Sirhan, when the court allowed a substitute bullet to be admitted as evidence for the actual bullet in Kennedy’s neck. The attorneys insist that Sirhan was an MPD pawn of the CIA used as a diversion for the real assassin, adding that Sirhan was blamed for the RFK assassination because he is an Arab. Sirhan Bishara Sirhan , now 67, is a Christian Palestinian, born in Jerusalem, who emigrated to California. As a Southern California resident, Sirhan attended Eliot Middle School, John Muir High School and Pasadena City College before working at the Santa Anita race track. Sirhan Sirhan is currently serving a life sentence at the Pleasant Valley State Prison at Coalinga, in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. Sirhan was convicted of killing U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and injuring five others during the June 5, 1968 shooting at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Defense attorneys Pepper and Dusek are requesting a hearing to present new evidence that alleges a kitchen crossfire inside the hotel. An analysis of an assassination audiotape suggests that 13 shots were fired from two directions, with four shots fired simultaneously from two weapons.

Lady Gaga Serenades Bill Clinton, Drops ‘F’ Bomb
LOS ANGELES — Lady Gaga enjoyed her “first real Marilyn moment” with former President Bill Clinton. The envelope-pushing pop superstar was one of several musicians who performed Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl during a concert celebrating the 10th anniversary of Clinton’s foundation, which has sought to improve global health, strengthen economies worldwide, promote healthier childhoods and protect the environment for the past decade. “I always wanted to have one, and I was hoping that it didn’t involve pills and a strand of pearls,” she joked. Emerging from atop an all-white treehouse, Lady Gaga sported a wavy blonde `do and red lips like Marilyn Monroe, who famously crooned “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” to President John F. Kennedy in 1962. Lady Gaga similarly serenaded Clinton and changed several of her lyrics to reference him, including swapping the title of “Bad Romance” for “Bill Romance.” “I thought, `My God. I get Lady Gaga, and I will have a heart attack celebrating my 65th birthday,” Clinton later said. Clinton, who turned 65 on Aug. 19 but celebrated his birthday at a posh Hollywood party Friday night, sat between wife Hillary and daughter Chelsea in the front row throughout Saturday’s event at the outdoor venue set against the Hollywood Hills. Other famous attendees included Maria Bello, Ashton Kutcher, Jason Segel, Ellen DeGeneres, Colin Farrell and Chevy Chase. “I am the only person in history who got to be President and then had a post-presidential birthday party attended by both Lady Gaga and the Secretary of State,” Clinton joked on stage. “I want to thank Hillary because we met 40 years ago this year. When I met her, she was already doing the kind of work you see here long before it was cool.” Ticket prices for “A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation,” which was streamed live on Yahoo.com, ranged from $50 to $550. Other performers included Motown legend Stevie Wonder, country star Kenny Chesney, Somali rapper K’Naan, Colombian crooner Juanes and R&B singer Usher. Usher kicked off his performance with a take on Joe Cocker’s rendition of the Beatles classic “With a Little Help From My Friends” before launching into his hits “Yeah” and “OMG.” The R&B singer accidently split his pant legs while dancing to reveal his bare left leg. The wardrobe malfunction didn’t stop Usher, who continued with his routine, telling the crowd: “I work hard.” Bono and The Edge of U2 closed the concert with a mostly acoustic set that included such tunes as “Desire,” “One” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” which Bono sang directly to Clinton. The duo – who were accompanied by a string quartet and Edge’s laptop – closed with “Miss Sarajevo.” Bono tackled the operatic part of the tune originally sung by the late Luciano Pavarotti. Clinton himself is no stranger to performing. The saxophone-playing politician memorably belted out “Heartbreak Hotel” when he visited Arsenio Hall’s show during his 1992 presidential campaign. Clinton didn’t pick up the instrument Saturday night, despite a plea from Lady Gaga, who informed him: “I wish you were playing sax with me tonight, baby.” ___ Online: http://clintonconcert.yahoo.com Link: Lady Gaga Serenades Bill Clinton, Drops ‘F’ Bomb
Murdoch Mocked in San Francisco
A keynote speech by News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch was hijacked several times by Occupy Wall Street hecklers in San Francisco, California. The shocked audience at the Palace Hotel included leaders of business, politics and education, who were suddenly surprised by screaming OWS activists dressed as Sesame Street characters. Rupert Murdoch was in San Francisco for an annual summit held by the Foundation for Excellence in Education , a nonprofit headed by former Governor Jeb Bush . The media billionaire was speaking on the subject of joining education and technology but was repeatedly interrupted by hecklers and mockers in the swanky Grand Ballroom. The FOX News mogul had to resume his speech, over and over, due to the disruptions by the well-dressed protesters who yelled, “Occupy Sesame Street!” — some of them with character masks from the children’s TV program. Many wonder if the whole thing was a set-up designed to discredit the Occupy Wall Street movement as childish. Critics note how there were conveniently-placed cameramen and photographers to quickly turn around and film each protester “right on cue.” They insist that the “actors” were too old and too educated to be real OWS activists. The add that Rupert Murdoch himself appeared to anticipate each outburst, then laugh it all off with, “A little controversy makes things a little more interesting.” Real activists or fake?
