BEIJING, Feb. 16-- Michael Jackson's lawyers announced Monday they may call celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Ross and Kobe Bryant to the witness stand during the pop starˇs molestation trial.

The list of possible witnesses sounded like coming attractions for a major Hollywood spectacle: Tonight Show host Jay Leno, producer Quincy Jones, actor Chris Tucker and singer Stevie Wonder, along with Taylor, Ross and Bryant.

Names of defense and prosecution witnesses were revealed to prospective jurors so attorneys could find out if any of the more than 240 members of the pool had associations that may be important in selecting a jury for the trial.

Attorneys are in the process of selecting 12 jurors and eight alternates who will decide Jacksonˇs fate on charges that he molested a teenage cancer patient at his Neverland Ranch and plied him with alcohol.
