Turner Broadcasting is trying to avoid a house of pain with producer Tyler Perry.
Perry, who has two shows on Turner’s TBS cable channel (“House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns”) was furious about a recent episode of the animated series “The Boondocks” that ran on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim programming block. Cartoon Network also is owned by Turner Broadcasting.

“He’s not guilty. I think he’s absolutely not guilty. I think he meant what he said. He’s absolutely not guilty. We’re just going to prepare for his defense and get ready to address the charges.”
With the murder case pending as well as drug charges, District Attorney Hillar Moore stated,
“I’d rather wait for the evidence to speak as to what happened. He’s got several different cases, so it depends on which one you’re talking about. He also has the introduction of the drugs into the prison and obviously, he’s presumed innocent at this point.”

Microsoft has unveiled the next XBox at the world’s biggest gaming expo, E3.
The XBox Kinect looks like an entirely new system on the outside, sporting a new black glossy finish, a reduced size, and new angles and cuts. However, on the inside the XBox is largely the same in processing power, with the major difference being the addition of Kinect, Microsoft’s response to the Nintendo Wii’s motion controls. Additionally now the Xbox supports wifi internet.
The major difference between the old Xbox and the Kinect is that with the Kinect no controllers are necessary, just you. This works through the Kinect’s new motion capture camera that captures every move you make and translates it to your in game character.
The XBox Kinect will retail at $299.99. Video after the jump.
