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.
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.

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! Filledwith 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.
On Sundance channel,Isabella Rossellini’s Green Porno, a series of short films about the mating habits of animals, is really outrageous. She takes great delight in announcing the most intimate specifics of beastie anatomy, while appearing in simulated breeding rituals with construction paper animals. Coy, camp and filled with inter-species soft core, the shorts are a lot of fun and have won film awards and, more fittingly, made “clip of the week” on Talk Soup, twice!
