1. Erykah Badu pays ‘Window Seat’ fine!
Erykah Badu has paid a fine and will serve six months of probation to resolve a disorderly conduct charge in Dallas! While filming a music video in March, the singer allegedly stripped naked at Dealey Plaza, the site where US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. In the clip for 'Window Seat', Badu falls to the ground as if she has been shot. Several tourists, including children, were looking on as the R&B star shed her clothes. Police cited the 'Bag Lady' musician in April after a witness filed a sworn complaint against her. A Dallas city spokesperson told The AP that Badu paid the $500 fine on Friday. *side eye* was well worth it though because ‘Window Seat’ is a great video!
