Lucy Lawless Pleads Guilty to Trespassing
Originally posted 06/14/2012 08:30AM
Lucy Lawless pleaded guilty Thursday to trespassing, and had a more serious charge of burglary dropped, after she and seven other Greenpeace New Zealand activists boarded an oil-drilling ship in February to keep it from leaving port.
The Spartacus: Vengeance actress, 44, could face three years in prison at her sentencing in September, but told reporters in Auckland that she doesn't expect jail time, as she is a first-time offender and the protest was peaceful.
"I had to do what I had to do," she said, reports the New Zealand Herald. "We want to tell [deep-sea oil drillers] absolutely under no circumstances is this a good idea. They are robbing our children of their birthright to a clean and healthy planet, and they know it."

PEOPLE recently caught up with the newly minted singing sensation to talk about performing with his musical idols and taking his own show on the road.

February 23, 2004JENNIFER'S DATING DON'T In the comedy Along Came Polly, Jennifer Aniston plays a free-spirited woman navigating a relationship with an extremely risk-averse man (Ben Stiller). At the movie's London premiere, the Friends star revealed some details about her real-life pre-Brad Pitt dating days – including her worst date. "The guy was trying very hard, and I think he thought it would be charming to take us first to a Japanese massage parlor and start the date off that way. And do a side-by-side massage with two women walking up and down our backs while holding onto ropes," she recalled. "I don't even know why I let myself sit down on the table to begin with. ... So I didn't go to the dinner part. That was pretty much a disaster and I never saw that person again."
