GENEVA (AP) – A U.N. panel has awarded Bill Cosby an Internet domain name based on the Fat Albert character he created in the 1960s.

Arbitrators for the World Intellectual Property Organization ordered Monday the transfer of fatalbert.org to Cosby, who had complained it was being used in bad faith to divert visitors to a commercial search engine and a Web site selling sexually explicit products.

Cosby created Fat Albert in the late 1960s as part of his standup comedy routine about his childhood in Philadelphia. The children’s cartoon series “Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids” began airing in 1972 and a “Fat Albert” movie was released last year.

Sterling Davenport of Loretto, Tenn., who had registered the domain name, didn’t respond to Cosby’s complaint, arbitrator John Kidd said.

Nonetheless, Kidd said, “the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the domain name.”

A number of celebrities, including Morgan Freeman, Julia Roberts, Madonna, Nicole Kidman, Pamela Anderson, Pierce Brosnan and Carmen Electra, have won the Internet version of their names through U.N. arbitration.

Anyone can register a domain name for as little as a few dollars. The arbitration system, which started in 1999, allows those who think they have the right to a domain to claim it without a costly court battle or payment of large fees to buy the name.

Critics say the system favors trademark holders and not individuals who also may have legitimate rights to the names for parody, criticism and other purposes.

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (AP) – Cameron Crowe will attend the first U.S. screening of his new movie, “Elizabethtown,” Sept. 17 in Elizabethtown.

Co-star Orlando Bloom will be on hand for a screening later that night in Louisville.

“Elizabethtown” is director Crowe’s nod to his Kentucky roots; his father was raised in Powell County. Scenes for the movie, also starring Kirsten Dunst, were shot in Elizabethtown, Versailles, Louisville and Winchester.

Bloom plays Drew, whose father dies while visiting family in Kentucky. During his flight home, Drew meets Claire, Dunst’s character, a cheerful flight attendant.

Sherry Murphy, executive director of the Elizabethtown Tourism and Convention Bureau, said she’s happy the town is getting one of the first sneak previews.

“This is the type of publicity that a community our size just could not pay for,” Murphy said.

“Elizabethtown,” which debuted this week at the Venice Film Festival in Italy, will be released Oct. 14.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – Just like his character on his new NBC comedy, “My Name Is Earl,” Jason Lee says he tries to do good things in real life.

“Good things happen when you keep yourself open like that, definitely,” Lee told reporters recently, according to AP Radio.

Earl is aided by his fellow dimwitted friends: hapless brother Randy, played by Ethan Suplee, and the alluring Catalina, played by Nadine Velazquez. Even Darnell (Eddie Steeples), the owner of the Crab Shack where Earl drinks beer, offers his support.

Lee, whose screen credits include “Almost Famous” and “Chasing Amy,” said he hadn’t considered doing a TV series until now.

“I just wanted to do films,” he said, “so that I could bounce around, take long breaks, work with different directors, play different characters and be known for being an actor … as opposed to being known as a character on a show.”

But, he adds: “I think I’ve done enough films over the last 10 years to where the percentage of people that are gonna call me Earl on the street will probably be a little bit less. So, that’ll be good.”

“My Name Is Earl” premieres Sept. 20.

ROTHERFIELD GREYS, England (AP) – Five months after his mother Camilla married Prince Charles, food writer Tom Parker Bowles wed fashion journalist Sara Buys Saturday in an English country church ablaze with flowers.

Charles and Camilla, now Duchess of Cornwall, and Princes William and Harry attended the ceremony at St. Nicholas’ Church in Rotherfield Greys, 40 miles west of London.

Parker Bowles, 31, who is also Charles’ godson, served as a witness at his mother’s wedding to Charles on April 9.

The groom’s father, Andrew Parker Bowles, whose marriage to Camilla ended in divorce in 1995, arrived with his new wife, Rosemary. They were among some 180 church guests.

Details about the reception were kept secret, but news leaked that about 400 guests were invited and the cake was a six-tiered affair covered in Swiss white chocolate.

The wedding food was expected to be untainted by pesticides; as food writer for the society magazine “Tatler,” the groom follows his stepfather in championing organic farmers.

Parker Bowles met Buys, a fashion writer for the fashion magazine Harpers & Queen, in 2001. Both attended Oxford University.
