Rezko Trial: Movie Producer Tom Rosenberg Takes the Stand

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:


When witness Tom Rosenberg talks about "the ugly truth" at Tony Rezko's corruption trial, you would think he's talking about the merits of the case.

Nah. Minutes into Rosenberg's testimony, he went ahead and gave his newest movie a plug,
telling jurors: "The Ugly Truth," stars Katherine Heigl.

Rosenberg, described as the largest independent producer in Hollywood, has a little bit of a different background than what we're used to in this trial. He won an Oscar for Best Picture for producing Million Dollar Baby and produced 52 films.
The suntanned Rosenberg may also be the first male witness to take the stand and not wear a tie.
