From The Daily Mail
Michael B Jordan and Mike Myers were some of the A-list celebrities named for the first time during the first day of the trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
Their names were included in a list list of people and places handed to potential jurors because they may come up throughout the six-trafficking trial.
Jordan is on the list because he was once allegedly threatened by Diddy over his relationship with the rapper's ex-girlfriend Cassie, Rolling Stone reported.
It's unclear why Myers was on the list, but there is a scene in one of his Austin Powers movies that includes a Diddy joke, according to USA Today.
Jury selection is expected to wrap up in about a week, with opening statements tentatively scheduled for May 12. The proceedings are estimated to last eight to 10 weeks.
Other names mentioned on the list by a female juror who said she recognized them were Michelle Williams from Destiny's child, actress Lauren London – who was the girlfriend of Nipsey Hussle who was fatally shot in 2019 – and rapper Kid Cudi.
Judge Subramanian said that the list of people and places runs 'several pages' and felt like an 'appendix from Lord of the Rings'. To speed up the process, he ruled that jurors would be given the list to review before they are brought into court and questioned one by one before they seat a final panel of 12 jurors and six alternates.
