Authorities in Switzerland denied Roman Polanski‘s requests for either bail or house arrest today, as they unsurprisingly felt the Oscar winner/convicted sex offender was a high flight-risk. Polanski will remain imprisoned at least until his next hearing, which will decide whether he should be extradited to the U.S. as fugitive from justice as planned. Polanski’s lawyers expect a verdict within a week.
On the lighter side, Polanski was one of the 12 initial inductions to Poland’s Walk Of Fame in Warsaw this weekend, joined by such luminaries as Woody Allen (do we detect a theme?) and Penelope Cruz (maybe not). The aptly-timed tribute features an equally apt quote, “Nothing is too shocking to me.” Stay classy, Poland.
