Look Out, Sarah Palin…
Basil Marceaux, Republican candidate for governor of Tennessee, may just take your spot. He’s has many similar views, and like you, is not afraid to speak his mind.

From Russia w/ Love: A Beautiful Spy…?
What about Anna Chapman, the beautiful 28-year-old Russian redhead with billionaire “friends” from Wall Street, alleged to be a Russian spy? Google her…

A Sweet Repeat For the Lakers…
In a thrilling series against the Celtics, the Lakers won back-to-back championships in a 7th-game nail-biter at Staples Center! The teamwork was great, led by Kobe and Pau Gasol. Fisher, Odum, and Sasha Vujacic, off the bench, made important hoops.

Unfortunately violence broke out after. Why does this happen?

Mama Grizzly in Chief…
On the national stage since Sept. ’08, I had hoped that by now Sarah Palin would be long over. But she has just begun: bestseller, handsomely-paid speaking engagements, Fox News forum–and the ear of a constituency. I watched her endorse candidates in the last weeks. Here in California I saw Carly Fiorina’s ads proudly announced: “Endorsed by Sarah Palin!” 3 of her 4 picks won their primaries. She speaks in sound bites, the media loves to cover her; she knows her audience, and how to incite them. A male friend told me that’s she’s sexy. Her whiny voice is slightly more modulated; she must be taking lessons. This woman is very calculating…and dangerous.

Mickey Cohen: The Opera?
For those awaiting my forthcoming book, Mickey Cohen: The Life and Crimes of L.A.’s Notorious Mobster, publication date is May 1, 2012. I’m happy to shamelessly proclaim: This is a book I’d want to read! Filled with provocative revelations about Hollywood, and it’s self-promoting Hollywood mob boss (circa 1940s-76), readers will learn much juicy info about many prominent figures of the mid-20th century (including Shirley Temple’s encounter w/ the mobster) and how Mickey Cohen, a hyperphobic, asexual tough guy, learned to manipulate the media so well,that among other things, he managed to be acknowledged as a bonafide ladies’ man—bogus history that still holds. The high drama that constitutes the material is so operatic, I would love for it to become one! Check out MickeyCohenBook.com
I’m currently interested in the New York City Ballet’s upcoming Call Me Ben, a ballet about Bugsy Siegel, as conceived by Angeleno dancer and choreographer, Melissa Barack.
Speaking of Siegel, Warren Beatty is Bugsy-obsessed.Examples: He lived in Siegel’s penthouse at the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel for years; did not just make Bugsy, a movie about the handsome gangster, he also married the leading lady; he titled Bulworth, another of his cinematic efforts, after a Siegel horse; and most tellingly, his first-born son is named Ben.
