GOOD FOR HIM...
A judge dismissed rape charges against Barbershop actor Anthony Anderson on Wednesday, saying testimony by his accuser was some of the most "suspicious" he has ever heard.
Defense lawyers said the 25-year-old woman accused Anderson in hopes of getting money from him. The judge "thought this case needs to be stopped and stopped right now," defense attorney Leslie Ballin said.
The woman was seeking a job as an extra in the film Hustle & Flow when she accused Anderson and assistant director Wayne Witherspoon of attacking her in a trailer on the movie set.
A rape charge also was dismissed against Witherspoon.
