Karate bat man

Armed with a baseball bat and a black belt in karate he was the man the great and the good of Hollywood turned to when they had a problem lawyers couldn't solve.

For three decades, sleuth Anthony "The Pelican" Pellicano - motto "Your problem is my problem" - was the ultimate celebrity troubleshooter.

But now he is behind bars awaiting trial for allegedly bugging phones - and some of the most powerful figures in showbiz are waiting to see if he will take them down with him.

It is claimed the 62-year-old, who only recently completed a 30-month prison sentence for possessing firearms, grenades and plastic explosives, used illegal methods and paid bent cops to help investigate his targets.
