NEW ORLEANS, July 27:
British comedian and actor Russell Brand was ordered by a judge to do 20 hours of community service and pay a fine of 500 dollars in New Orleans yesterday over a charge related to throwing a photographer’s iPhone through a window. A lawyer for the brash “Get Him to the Greek” film star entered a plea of not guilty in New Orleans Municipal Court on a misdemeanor charge related to the phone-throwing incident. Brand, 37, did not appear in court. (agencies)
