Celebrity Justice
Dude Looks Like a Lady!

Click to return to TMZ.comIn his opening statement in the Phil Spector case, prosecutor Alan Jackson told the jury that actress Lana Clarkson initially thought Spector was a woman!

The B movie actress only found out Spector was a man when she confronted him about not being on the guest list for the House of Blues, where she was working as a hostess.

Spector has been charged with killing the blonde bombshell at his California home in 2003.

Defense attorneys are supposed to speak this afternoon.

Story developing...

16. Well he’ll be putting that feminine look to good use at the state pen very shortly. Between his confessions of killing her to the police right after it happened; coupled with his bizarre gun toting threats to women who slight him going back decades. His soon-to-be male cell mate will likely love calling Specter his ____itch.

17. He'll never serve a day in prison. He'll use permanent insanity as a defense.

18. This nut was always pulling guns on women to scare them or keep them hostage and he did it again and he killed this girl..No doubt about it!

19. This A hole will probably get off and continue to shoot off his guns in his castle. Hopefully, one will ricochet off the wall and hit him in the head...poetic justice

21. #18, I was wondering the same thing about Roni Spector. She claimed to be a prisoner of Phil Spector for years and told some very strange stories once she got away. After she left him she went into hiding and we never heard from her except a song released with Eddie Money yrs. ago. Also as for it being an accident?? Do something once...that's an accident..play with guns to threaten people over and over..no accident. As for him geting off on this charge, maybe not, he's a has been, not so idolized as he would like to be. Opening day on court tv today was veryyy interesting.

22. Hitchcock could not have written him any scarier.

23. This is what happens when you are rich and get away with crime through out your life. He has done the same thing to a dozen women and he was never put in jail. This time he took it one step further, and actually pulled the trigger. To bad someone has to always die before the rich get their due justice.

26. I turned Court TV on after the trial had started and wondered, "who is that wrinkle-ee old lady? Whoa!! I can see where he would have to hold a gun to your head to sleep with him.

I don't think his celeb status will help him that much. He is a crazy old has been. Yes, once he's sent to prison he will probably be married to the man with the most ciggerettes. If BUBBA is blind.

27. John Lennon a former associate and a witness to Phil's reckless trigger finger,probably and intuitively wrote Spector's epitaph in the insightful words "Happiness is a warm gun!"

28. Keith Richards as a character witness??? Bwahahahahaha!
