Kobe Bryant, A-Rod and More Rock Out for Guitar Hero

Originally posted 10/27/2008 04:15PM





Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez, Michael Phelps and Tony Hawk are rockin' out Tom Cruise style in a new ad. The athletes reenact the actor's classic Risky Business dance scene – the one in which he parades around a button-down shirt and white socks – for a commercial for Guitar Hero World Tour edition. The spot, directed by Brett Ratner, features the four sports legends jamming to Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll." Bryant sings the lead, A-Rod and Phelps are on guitar, and Hawk skateboards onto the scene with a drum set. Bryant really gets into it and even the normally coy Phelps gets loose. – Jessica Herndon

Kobe's Accuser Must ID Herself in Lawsuit

Originally posted 10/07/2004 09:05AM

RULED: The name of the Colorado woman who accused Kobe Bryant, 26, of sexual assault will be made public in the civil lawsuit she is pressing against him, federal Judge Richard Matsch decided Wednesday. In making the ruling, the jurist said that allowing the 20-year-old to remain anonymous could be misconstrued by a jury as a prejudgment in the case. Lawyers for the woman – who intends to follow through with the case – had asked Matsch to protect her identity, saying she has faced death threats. Prosecutors dropped felony charges against L.A. Laker Bryant last month after his accuser refused to testify.
