LOS ANGELES -- Film director Roman Polanski lost his bid Friday to be sentenced without returning to the U.S. when a judge ruled the director must be present in court if he wants to resolve his 32-year-old sex case.Reiterating Polanski was a fugitive from justice, Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza said he was acting to protect "the dignity of the court."Bart Dalton, a lawyer for Polanski, said the ruling would be appealed.Before the hearing, the judge provided lawyers with his 11-page tentative decision denying the request by the 76-year-old Polanski, who fled the U.S. in 1978 after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.Lawyers Chad Hummel, who represents Polanski, and Lawrence Silver, who represents victim Samantha Geimer, tried to convince Espinoza to change his mind.But Espinoza cited a law that says someone who flees is not entitled to the processes of the court unless they return. The judge also cited the length of time Polanski had been a fugitive and the deterrent factor for others who might consider fleeing to escape justice.Deputy District Attorney David Walgren argued vehemently against Polanski's bid to be sentenced without returning to this country from Switzerland, where he is under house arrest and fighting extradition.

PASADENA — Lucy Lawless used a lot of sweat and swordplay to become a female action hero in “Xena: Warrior Princess.” She didn’t mind the swords.She sweated her way through countless action scenes for six years before turning to less physical — and more modern — roles in “Battlestar Galactica,” “Two and a Half Men,” “CSI: Miami” and “The L Word.”
Lawless has returned to the genre that brought her so much fame to star in the new Starz series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.” It launches at 10 p.m. Friday.
She finds her role in “Spartacus” interesting indeed, comparing the manipulative, scheming and sexually charged Lucretia to Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth.
The series features nudity and the idea made Lawless nervous. But she says the sexual element is an important part of the story.“Lucy might not want to do it, but it is truthful and right for the character,” Lawless says. “In Rome, all bets are off. The nudity fulfills the scenes properly, and because of that, you just can’t hold back because of your own ego.
