R. Kelly's court date set

Singer R. Kelly avoided having his bond revoked in his child pornography case, but a judge admonished him for missing an earlier court hearing.

The R&B superstar apologised to Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan, who set a May 9 trial date.

Kelly, 40, has pleaded not guilty to child pornography charges for allegedly videotaping sex acts with a teenage girl in or before 2000.
