Two arrested in celeb video theft
Two men have been arrested for trying to sell Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez’s stolen wedding video back to the couple for $1 million, authorities said.
The men tried to ransom the video after first shopping it around unsuccessfully to media outlets, including People, Us Weekly and “Access Hollywood,” according to a criminal complaint filed against them.
Tito Moses, 31, and Steven Wortman, 49, were arraigned late Wednesday in Manhattan Criminal Court on charges of conspiracy, attempted grand larceny and possession of stolen property.

The humorist now expects to do about a dozen shows at the Fitzgerald during the 2006-07 season.
Released: Rapper Pimp C was released on parole Friday after serving about half of an eight-year sentence for falling behind on community service required after pleading no contest to aggravated assault. Since 2002, “Free Pimp C” has been a rallying cry for rappers across the U.S.
