Nipples for 550 000 $

The Federal Communications Commission is set to impose a record $US550,000 indecency fine against CBS-owned stations for their broadcast of singer Janet Jackson's breast-bearing incident during January's Super Bowl, the Washington Post reports.

The newspaper report, which cited unnamed FCC sources, said on Saturday the agency was expected to vote unanimously for the fine, which would be the largest levied against a television broadcaster.

The amount represents a $27,500 fine for each of the 20 television stations owned by CBS, which in turn is owned by Viacom Inc, the paper said.

The decision could be released as early as next week, the paper said. Excluded from the fines are CBS's more than 200 affiliate stations, which also aired the half-time show during the National Football League championship game.

''We would be extremely disappointed,'' CBS said in a statement issued to the newspaper.

''While we regret that the incident occurred, and have apologised to our viewers, we continue to believe that nothing in the Super Bowl broadcast violated indecency laws.''

CBS chief Les Moonves vowed in July that he will fight any fines imposed by the FCC. "We're going to take that to the courts if it happens," he said, declaring that the fines would be "perilously dangerous."

As he does in all his videos, Kahn also packed it full of tributes to his favorite movies and artists.

Killer Rock Singer Going "Home"

French rock star Bertrand Cantat / Noir Désir - Black Desire /, convicted in Lithuania of murdering his girlfriend actress Marie Trintignant during a Vilnius hotel room brawl, may be handed over to French authorities this month, several months earlier than expected, officials said on Thursday.

Lithuania informed French authorities last month that it approved Cantat's request to serve his sentence in France. French authorities this week said they were willing to accept the singer, the Lithuanian ministry said.

Trintignant, the daughter of veteran French film star Jean-Louis Trintignant, had been in Vilnius to shoot a television movie about the French writer Colette, directed by her mother Nadine, when she was killed.

The 40-year-old rocker, who had faced a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison, told the court he slapped Trintignant during a heated row, which caused her to fall and hit her head on a radiator. He said he had not intended to kill her.

Under French law, Cantat's lawyers can apply for a conditional release after he has served half his sentence.

We'll have to wait and see if Warner Bros. confirms this. Bryan Singer is directing the film for a Summer 2006 release.

Caviezel's manager, Beverly Dean, previously said that the actor would be interested in playing the role. "Would he like to do it? He loves Superman. But the truth is there has been no offer, the script isn't even finished - but absolutely he'd be interested."
