Juror No. 1 Is a 10

(Newser) – Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt showed up for jury duty in Los Angeles after a judge ordered him to serve or be slapped with contempt charges, the BBC reports, drawing on a series of breathless updates by TMZ.com. Luckily for the busy actor, yesterday's trial ended immediately after a no contest plea to drunk driving charges.

The two-time Sexiest Man Alive, now equally well known for cohabiting in a shoe with Angelina Jolie, mixed with the other jurors but waited out the legal wrangling on his own. Pitt's next film, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, in which he plays the Wild West outlaw, is due out later this year.
