Culkin's testimony that Michael Jackson didn't molest him
helped persuade the jury that his accuser's story couldn't
be trusted. But a source in Santa Maria claims that Culkin
wouldn't testify until the judge ruled that he couldn't be
asked any questions about whether he was the real sperm donor
for Paris Jackson, Michael's very blond, very fair-skinned
daughter ... Meanwhile, Michael's less controversial sibling,
Janet
Jackson, was in no mood for jokes when she got a cheeky introduction
from actor Alan Cumming as she received a humanitarian award
from the Human Rights Campaign. "I'm going to leave the
jokes to the late-night comics, if that's OK." Jackson
was honored for the mega-money she's both raised and donated
to AMFAR and the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Jackson told
the crowd, "Acceptance is right. Kindness is right. Love
is right. I pray, right now, that we're moving into a kinder
time when prejudice is overcome by understanding; when the
pain of judgmentalism is replaced by the purity of love."
Nice one, Janet ... Be sure to check out Patti LaBelle's new
effort, Classic Moments, which is an all-covers CD featuring
duets with Mary J. Blige and Elton John ... Henry
Rollins will hit the road this summer with his "25 Years
Of Bulls***" tour. IFC, who backs his Henry's Film Corner
show, will sponsor the three-month trek. The rocker-turned-spoken
word artist will provide commentary on politics, pop culture,
and his favorite stories from 25 years of touring. Rollins
also has roles in the upcoming flicks The Alibi and Feast
on the horizon ... Peta2.com has recently launched a poll
to determine which musician is the "World's Sexiest Vegetarian,"
with categories separated into men and women. Among the most-recognizable
rocker dudes you can vote for are: Anthony Kiedis, Chris Martin,
Damon Albarn, Eddie Vedder, Larry Mullen Jr., Mike Dirnt,

to place your vote ... And finally, don't miss the drugged-up
ghetto reality lifestyle known as Bravo's Being Bobby Brown.
One episode has Bobby describing how he helped wife Whitney
Houston with her constipation, by inserting his fingers "up
there" to massage it out. Whitney says, "When I
told my girlfriends about it, they said 'That's real love,
baby. That's real black love.'" Bobby then holds up four
fingers and wiggles them in front of the camera. Strike one
up for whack my crack proctology everywhere.
