It’s unclear how MICHAEL JACKSON’S planned parade of witnesses will sway the jury in his child-molestation trial. But here’s a quick guide to how the celebs’ careers may fare if they appear.
GETTING A BOOST
COREY FELDMAN could see more press attention than he has since The Goonies. As for spoon-bending psychic URI GELLER, we predict you might actually recognize him in the future.
TAKING A HIT
60 Minutes reporter ED BRADLEY and Tonight Show host JAY LENO have regular jobs that don’t sit well with being dragged into a messy trial. Plus, what’s left for Geraldo Rivera to do?
SITUATION UNCHANGED
We’re so used to seeing embattled L.A. Laker KOBE BRYANT walk into courtrooms, one more won’t hurt his rep. And for hotel and casino owner STEVE WYNN, the odds of an image hit are slim. No town is more forgiving than Las Vegas.
