MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Anthony Anderson, the rotund comedic co-star of "Kangaroo Jack" and the original "Barbershop," made a brief court appearance Thursday to say he understands that he is accused of rape and has a lawyer.

At such initial appearances in Shelby County General Sessions Court, judges inform defendants of the charges against them and inquire about their legal representation.

The 33-year-old actor was accused by an unidentified woman of luring her into a trailer on the set of his latest movie, "Hustle & Flow," and sexually assaulting her. Also accused is Wayne Witherspoon, an assistant director.

Both Anderson and Witherspoon deny wrongdoing. They are free on $20,000 bond each.

Anderson avoided reporters Thursday by using a side door to the courtroom generally reserved for judges.

Another hearing was set Aug. 19 for lawyers to tell the court if they're ready to go forward with the case.

Ohhhh, that guy. The guy who kept calling Jet Li's character, "dim sum" (in Romeo Must Die?).

He's had some bad roles.

We'll see where this rape charge leads.

Innocent till proven guilty though, Theres nothing to stop a star struck fan nowadays to consent to sex and then cry foul afterwards and make a lot of money from the media.
