• The Beastie Boys are set to release a live film Awesome: I F**ckin' Shot That, which was recorded by 50 fans given video cameras at a Madison Square Garden concert last November.

• Irv and Chris Gotti's defense team called only one witness and rested after two hours this morning, sending the quickly sending the jury into deliberation. The prosecution, on the other hand, called up four days worth of witnesses. Somehow, this probably doesn't feel great for The Inc. [MTV]
