The murder trial of legendary music producer Phil Spector was to begin January 16, but it's been delayed again. A judge granted a defense request to postpone the trial while they await the results of forensic tests. The trial's new start date is March 5.
Spector allegedly murdered actress Lana Clarkson in his home on February 3, 2003. At the conclusion of his murder trial, Spector will face a wrongful death civil lawsuit filed by Lana's mother.
Phil Spector's former wife, Ronnie Spector, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.
The Ronettes, which Ronnie formed with her sister Estelle Bennett and cousin Nedra Talley, are among the Hall's Class of 2007, which also includes Van Halen, R.E.M, Patti Smith and Grandmaster Flash the Furious Five.
Not making the final cut this year were the Stooges, the Dave Clark Five, Chic and Joe Tex. The induction ceremony will take place in New York on March 12.
44 more singles and albums have been added to the Recording Academy's Hall of Fame.
They include Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl," "Are You Lonesome Tonight" by Elvis Presley, the original motion picture soundtrack to "Star Wars" (music composed by John Williams) and "He Stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones. The list now includes 728 titles.
