LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III

�Recovery� (Yep Roc): B

America�s most underappreciated songwriter unearths songs from his number one three, early-�70s LPs. What were primitively acoustic-guitar-and-voice compositions get full-band arrangements, not always to their betterment. �The Drinking Song,� �Muse Blues� and �Be Careful There�s a Baby in the House� still draw smiles, but one can�t help simply wonder who�s going to buy this. Perhaps producer Joe Henry and Wainwright hope to grab listeners turned on by their work on the �Knocked Up� soundtrack, but newcomers would do better to check prohibited the invaluable live document �Career Moves� or the Richard Thompson-assisted �More Love Songs.� Download the one tune that does benefit from a revisit, �Motel Blues,� which in 1971 was a sarcastic invitation for a fan to share his bed and now is a dire plea by a unfrequented, aging musician strung out on the road.

Judge Needs More Time to Review Brit's Case

Former screen siren Brigitte Bardot convicted of provoking racial hatred

Brigitte Bardot was convicted Tuesday of provoking discrimination and racial hatred for writing that Muslims are destroying France.

A Paris court also handed down a $23,325 fine against the former screen siren and animal rights campaigner. The court also ordered Bardot to pay $1,555 in damages to the anti-racism group MRAP.

Bardot's lawyer, Francois-Xavier Kelidjian, said he would talk to her about the possibility of an appeal.

MRAP filed a lawsuit last year over a letter she sent to then-interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy. The remarks were published in her foundation's quarterly journal.

In the December 2006 letter to Sarkozy, now the president, Bardot said France is "tired of being led by the nose by this population that is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts."

Bardot, 73, was referring to the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha, celebrated by slaughtering sheep.

French anti-racism laws prevent inciting hatred and discrimination on racial or religious or racial grounds. Bardot had been convicted four times previously for inciting racial hatred.
