Big News in the RnB world R. Kelly told the judge in his child pornography trial Tuesday that he doesn’t plan to testify.

After Judge Vincent Gaughan told Kelly he had a right to not take the stand, the R&B singer leaned forward at the defense table with his hands folded and, speaking for the first time at the trial, responded: “I decided not to testify.”

He pleaded not guilty to charges that he videotaped himself having sex with an underage girl. Both Kelly and the alleged victim, now 23, have denied being on the tape.

Closing arguments are likely to be delivered Thursday.
