LONDON -- Channel 4 has forged ahead with its move into the radio business with Monday's launch of Internet radio service Channel4radio.com. The publicly owned broadcaster plans to apply for the new national digital radio multiplex that will be auctioned off later this year, but has gone ahead with the Internet radio launch first announced in January at the Oxford Media Convention.

Troubled superstar Michael Jackson is so confident he'll be cleared of all child molestation charges, he has booked a trip to London this summer. Jackson's close pal, psychic Uri Geller, is standing by his famous friend as he fights 10 felony charges of child molestation, administering an intoxicating agent and conspiracy involving allegations of child abduction, false imprisonment and extortion in a Santa Maria, California, court. Speaking on British TV network Channel 4's chat show Richard & Judy on Thursday, the spoon-bending eccentric said the Bad singer has already booked a flight to a British wedding, because he's convinced jurors will acquit him. Geller says, "Michael is confident he will be found innocent. "He's actually planning to come to London this summer. He's booked the flights and the hotel already.

We certainly don't need to feed into what had become an escalating frenzy beyond our control and that was clearly going to turn into something unpleasant. So why not take our time with it?" Neither one of us was in any great hurry to do the thing. It's not as if we were waiting to sleep together, for example, which would probably put a certain kind of urgency to the matter." Affleck has also paid tribute to Lopez, for helping keep the couple together through tough times. He tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror today, "I feel really lucky to have such an amazing fiancee. She is a very grounded person and no matter what people write about us, they are always 10 times harder on her. But we are strong together."...
