CRIME
Rocker's jail time cut short
BY VU TIEN HONG ASSOCIATED PRESS
Glitter, convicted of molesting two Vietnamese girls, will be released in August 2008, said Tran
HANOI, Vietnam — A Vietnamese court reduced former British rocker Gary Glitter's child molestation sentence Wednesday, cutting his three-year term by three months as part of a nationwide Lunar New Year prison amnesty, a judge said.
Thi Thien Huong, a judge on the deciding panel.
Vietnam reduces the sentences of inmates with good prison records just before the Lunar New Year in.
The 62-year-old Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was convicted in March 2006 of committing "obscene acts with children." The incidents involved two girls, ages 10 and 11.
He has been jailed since November 2005.
Under Vietnamese law, the panel could have reduced his sentence by 18 months, but prison authorities have recommended just a three-month reduction.
"We all agreed that obscene acts with children should be condemned," Huong said.
The aging glam-rocker hit his musical peak in the 1970s, but his crowd-pleasing anthem "Rock and Roll (Part 2)" is still played at sporting events.

Cowell and fellow judges Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson have been accused of being naster than usual this year on News Corp's Fox network talent show, pouncing on some of the worst "Idol" warnabes during auditions. Covington, 29, said he didn't think so.
that a lot of great things happened to me."
"I never knew Simon to be nice," Cowington said, "If you said, 'Hey,
Simon is being nice this year', you would have caught my attention. But being mean is just what I expect. It's what he does. It's his job"
Covington's self titled debut album on Lyric Street Records will be released April 17. The first single, "A Different World," is rising on the country charts.
Covington said that he got everything he wanted from his "Idol" experience.
