A Reader Blind Item: A couple of decades ago, a movie crew was in my
Western
city to film a crime drama with the city's name in it. The cast was
full
of some of my favorite actors. It starred this foreign-born, mostly
movie,
then A/A- leading actor who seems to have transitioned from good guy
roles
to mostly playing the villain as he did in that long-time franchise.
Since
they were primarily night filming, the leading actor had time to
explore
the city with his family. One afternoon, he came into my midtown
hotspot
restaurant with his wife and children and some of the crew. He was very
soft-spoken, shy and kind to all of us. He seemed just like a regular
dad
except he was quite dreamy. Another film actor who you all know, A-
comic
actor from his iconic role in the way-back then franchise came in a
different
night and closed out the bar. He sat at the bar drinking, flirting and
telling
great stories about his famous franchise, and stayed past closing. It
got
to be 4am and there he sat. No one knew what to do with him because we
all
loved him. He was so drunk, he was throwing up on himself; vomit was
bubbling
out of his mouth and onto his shirt, and he didn't even notice. Kids,
this
is how rock stars die, don't try this at home! He went from being the
coolest
guy in the place to the weirdest. The bartenders swore they had not
over-served
him and we suspected he was mixing drugs with alcohol so we didn't want
him
to get arrested. One of the cocktail waitresses took him home with her.
All
of us were grossed out and she was a pariah from then on. Looking back,
she
probably saved his life. I kept expecting to read about his death but
he's
still with us.

A Reader Blind Item: About a decade ago I was going to cosmetology
school
in Santa Barbara. For the first 8 weeks of schooling we worked on doll
heads
and each other to learn the basics of hair, skin, and nail treatments.
On
the 9th week we were sent to complete a list of basic tasks on the
public
that chooses to sign a waiver and risk their physical appearance for
our
education. Now I knew this particular Tuesday we were going to have a
special
guest come in for a haircut. This guest we will call Dreamboat (DB for
short),
which you will agree with me is a fitting name once you find out who he
is).
DB started off in films where he was obviously cast for his beautiful
face.
He is most know for a movie series that has more sequels than any non
super-hero
chain I They go dirt biking and race motorcycles together. I think he
came
in as a favor to our fellow student (FS) to make him look good with the
ladies.
On this day, only I knew he was coming in, and it would be the first
time
anyone in my class saw him at the school as FS had mentioned it to be
in
case I wanted to assist. My mind got whirling and ended up working out
a
much for fun plan. When DB arrived at the school I had FS bring him
back
to the shampoo bowl and put a warm towel over his face. I then went and
got
one of my fellow classmates (the sweetest girl who had mentioned a few
weeks
earlier how she thought he was cute) and asked her if she wanted to do
a
"men’s wash" on a walk in. I lead my friend over to the FS and have
him lead her over to DB and am watching from a distance. As this was
her
first time washing a stranger’s hair she is accidentally spraying him
in the ear, his face, and giving him a bit of a shower all over. When
she
goes to grab a towel to dry him off his face towel falls off and she
screams/faints at the same time. DB was a great sport and hugged her
and
laughed and told her she was going to do great in life and how much he
enjoyed
what just happened. DB passed away a few years ago. So young and in an
ironic
way. Now, whenever I see his movies or hear his name I smile and
remember
what a truly great and normal person he was. Paul Walker ("The Fast

Murder Of The Century - A Reader Blind Item: Take the time machine back
to
Los Angeles,1994, to a Spanish style 1930’s apartment building near
the Farmer’s Market. I was a young producer working in the television
business, a recent transplant from NY, who found themselves surrounded
by
celebrities on all sides. In the building to the right of me was a A+
list
singer/actress who is in the news a lot lately because of her
relationship
with a former A+ list athlete. She was then a dancer on a TV show, and
would
later become a rising star due to her portrayal of a deceased Latino
pop
sensation. She was then living with her high school sweetheart, and had
a
cocker spaniel who forced my cat into a amazing Ninja routine one day
when
he was out on the back patio. The dog left the cat alone from then on!
In
the apartment above her, at least for a while, was this former A+ list
child
star turned romcom actress, who currently is divorced and has her own
production
company. At the time she drove a vintage Toyota LandCruiser with the
license
plate "FlowerChild’ [the word flower was a mod daisy symbol] and once
almost ran me off the road, yelling "Hey watch it, lady" even though I
was
barely into my 30’s. A well-muscled, long-haired male heart throb
celebrity
who was famous for being famous and appearing on the covers of romance
novels,
also lived on the block, and I saw him in his Rolls Royce with the top
down,
quite often. In the building to the left of me lived a handsome
sometime
soap actor and B cult movie star. He was the son of an actress who was
nominated
for an Academy Award back in the day, and allegedly married to one of
the
most notable figures in Hollywood history, a recluse and billionaire.
This
neighbor was adorable and a friendly guy. I’d see him outside
practicing
his golf swing, or driving away in his Mustang and always wave hello.
The
Monday night in question was a warm Monday night of June 13th. I had
gotten
home early from work, about 6:00 pm. As I went into the kitchen to make
myself
dinner, I opened the windows adjacent to the building next door and
noticed
that their windows were open too. Bits of conversation, the sound of a
muffled
tv, music coming from a radio drifted up into my place as I sat eating
dinner.
One particular conversation got louder and louder. It was impossible to
ignore.
One male voice was strident, panicked sounding, at the very least
agitated
and insistent. I immediately dropped my fork and froze. It sounded very
scary.
I heard him say "I know he killed her, but he told me he didn’t do it.
He said "I didn’t DO IT, I DIDN’T DO IT" his voice rising in intensity,
his speech rapid and filled with fear. "But the cops said they KNOW he
killed
her and that HIS BLOOD IS THERE." I got in my car and came here the
minute
I could." There was then an exchange I couldn’t hear, but the other
man’s tone was reassuring and calm, obviously trying to talk his friend
down. It didn’t work. The freaked out guy got very frustrated and
screamed
out "YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND—HE WILL KILL ME." WOW—This was more
than I had anticipated dealing with on a warm summer, early in the week
night.
The conversation was bone chilling, unmistakably real, the person
speaking’s fear so pronounced that I had a visceral reaction. My hands
shaking, my first thought was to call the police but I was so freaked
out
and afraid, I called my boyfriend at the time instead and told him I
had
just heard someone in the apartment next to us talking about a murder.
He
laughed and said "Don’t worry. Handsome B cult movie star must be
rehearsing
his lines for the soap that he’s on. I’m sure that’s all you
heard." I swore to him that there was NO WAY that the conversation I
heard
was someone running lines. It was too disjointed, too real, too
spontaneous
to be scripted. He finally convinced me to calm down and I went to bed
that
night thinking "[Next door neighbor] is a better actor than I thought."
I
forgot about what I overheard until many months later—early winter
1995.
Boyfriend and I had just come home from dinner with friends, and we
turned
on the TV just in time to see the beginning the ABC news magazine show
20/20
teasing an upcoming Barbara Walters insider scoop of the night of one
of
the most infamous murders of all time, featuring none other than our
next
door handsome B movie actor neighbor, who it turns out, had been good
friends
with the murder victim, and the shaggy-haired tenant of the former
football
player turned acquitted killer’s. He recounted that his friend, who
was declared a hostile witness by the prosecution for his evasiveness
on
the stand, had come directly to his apartment the day after the bodies
were
found, where he recounted his conversation with the acquitted killer,
who
he was afraid may come after him for his knowledge of what went on that
fateful
evening. I HAD BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG—I HAD heard about a real murder
first hand, directly from one of the most recognizable and well-known
witnesses
of all time, frazzled beyond belief by the events of the night before,
and
the efforts of his good friend to calm him down. As a post script, we
also
later remembered that the morning of the murders my boyfriend’s father
had teed off right before the alleged killer at a tony LA Country Club,
and
that the two parties had traded balls and insults, laughing along the
way.
Little did he know that later that night his golf companions ex-wife
would
be found brutally murdered at this sport legend’s own hand. Odd how
sometimes in life there is a confluence of incidents that puts you, a
nobody,
somewhere in the middle of a big event. That’s my own brush with one
of the biggest news stories of this century. I have a few other stories
to
tell and they’re juicy, but I will have to think about how to recount
them without revealing myself.

Gross Negligence - Mr. Hedge: This pedophile committed horrible,
multiple
criminal acts upon a child at a relatively young age, over a period of
years.
The details of how the whole sickening story played out were simply
almost
too incredible to believe. This led to the case attracting national
attention.
Sadly, the system completely failed his victim, as the abuse should
have
been stopped much, much earlier. Despite all of the foregoing, this
pedophile
somehow only spent a handful of years in prison. He was a registered
sex
offender. Just a short couple of years after his release, he moved to
Hollywood,
where he also registered as a sex offender with authorities in his new
state
of residence. Incredibly, this pedophile began working in casting in
Hollywood,
often with children. He found himself a great deal of work over the
next
several years, even casting work for a couple films you would all know.
Several
years ago, this pedophile was working on a fairly big-budget film. This
film
touted an A-list director. This director first made it big in
television,
and later moved into film. Just a couple years earlier, this director’s
career was launched into the big-leagues, when he directed an important
film,
for one of Hollywood’s most storied franchises. Everyone who employed
the pedophile claimed to have been fooled by an alias. The A-list
director
claims that once he was informed of this pedophile being employed
casting
children on his film - that he took immediate action and notified the
authorities. However, the pedophile didn’t really use an alias to fool
the studio and director, as they had claimed. The pedophile was charged
with
having used an alias, which is a criminal act for any registered sex
offender.
When the case went to court, the judge ruled that every Hollywood
employer
of this pedophile knew his full and legal name. The pedophile walked
out
of court free. So everyone in Hollywood either never bothered to Google
the
guy, or knew and didn’t care.

A Reader Blind Item: I have lived in Asia for several years,
practically
grew up here. Through work in the publicity sector and contacts in the
hospitality industry, I have had several encounters with celebrities,
some
nice, some not so nice, and some a bit odd. (Although no one will ever
be
as nice as a now-deceased UK singer (George
Michael), who took the time to meet and chat with my family
when
he went to perform in one particular country that was just opening up
to
the world.) One incident in a neighboring place involves a famous
supermodel
(Linda Evangelista). She had flown
into
one of the Asian dragons to grace the cover of the new local edition of
one
of the world's biggest fashion magazines. She was originally denied
entry
into the country because her passport did not have six months left on
it.
She then threw a huge fit in the immigration line, screaming at the
airline
rep as well as the customs officer, then went way off to the corner to
sulk
and smoke. Because of the way she was dressed, most people thought she
was
just another one of these F-list, newbie models just getting their
start
that they fly in for catalog work. Her childish fit (which admittedly
was
worthy of even the bitchiest supermodels) and smoking was widely
reported,
although her handlers denied everything. The Canadian embassy then came
to
her rescue and she was let in. What many people don't know is that it
got
worse during the press conference for her cover shoot. The press
conference
took place at a hotel that was built where a shantytown once stood, and
ties
into several other celebrities in this blind. The magazine had
originally
planned to have her wear something by a local designer. She refused,
and
instead insisted on wearing something she had brought by a classic
American
designer whose initials are not CK or MK. She spent much of the press
conference
snapping at both local and foreign reporters, telling them to leave if
they
didn't have any interesting questions to ask her. In a place where face
is
so important, to say she angered and embarrassed her local hosts is an
understatement. A few years later, a European band
("Ace of Base") came into town to
promote
their third, and just about final, album at the same hotel the
supermodel
held her press conference. They had had some pretty big international
hits
and were often compared to another quartet
("ABBA") from their same country
who
hit it big in the 70s. The visiting group had managed to squeeze out
one
last hit before disappearing. I knew someone who was covering their
press
event so I managed to attend that and then hang out with the band
afterwards
in a VIP space off to the side after the event. This was the same hotel
(Michael Jackson) where a pop king
had
stayed a few years earlier, and had spontaneously invited an Indian
couple
and their child up to his room for photos with their child, photos that
the
couple would try to shop around to the press (not for any scandalous
reason,
but just to brag that they met the guy). There was nothing special
about
the photos, except that the singer looked hideous in them--his face was
literally
falling off. This was at the same time the singer was facing some
serious
allegations, and his family came out to defend his innocence, staying
at
another five-star hotel across town. Despite the accusations and
accompany
stress, he performed two knock-out, perfect shows. Back to the European
group,
they were incredibly nice, more than happy to sign autographs, and
seemed
genuinely interested in anyone who talked to them, even though it was
obvious
their days on top of the charts were about over. Their bags didn't
arrive
in time and they were literally wearing the clothes they flew in on.
One
odd thing, however, is that one of the members never showed up. In
fact,
you can see on their album art, that she sort of fades in the
background.
They really didn't seem to want to talk about her, saying she was
afraid
of flying, and kind of leaving it at that. This was in the same room,
by
the way, that a few years later a Disney star turned singer would
channel
the supermodel and have a huge fit where nothing was right while trying
to
rehearse for her press conference. The hotel ("Park
Hyatt Tokyo") where all these singer events took place would
become
famous in its own right several years later, when it became a filming
location
for what was a current big actress star's (Scarlett
Johansson) first big bomb ("Lost
in
Translation"). A couple years or so after the European
band's
visit, a Latino heartthrob (Ricky Martin)
who is enjoying resurgent fame in a TV role stayed at a different
hotel
("Grand Hotel in Taipei") across
town.
This hotel is rumored to be haunted as it was build over an old
graveyard.
His first concert in this city, he enlisted a local (Hong Kong born,
but
North American raised) Asian superstar singer (Coco
Lee), who mostly sings in Mandarin and whose
English-language
debut flopped, to sing a duet with him. She would brag about being a
virgin
and loving her adopted country (not everyone thinks it is a country)
but
everyone knew she was not a virgin and everyone knew she would rather
live
somewhere else. As for the heartthrob, in addition to spending a lot of
time
at the hotel gym's sauna, he ordered up both male and female escorts.
Although
it was not clear at the time, we now know which escort was meant to
throw
the scent off the trail, and which one he enjoyed. George

A Reader Blind Item: You might recall a few years ago, as the Supreme
Court
prepared to make its historic decision on gay marriage, a quartet of
ungrateful
whiners, who had grown up with gay parents, wrote briefs and were
flaunted
by anti-marriage equality advocates who did not want gay marriage to be
the
law of the land. One of the people in the quartet, a bona fide nutjob,
founded
a sham children's rights group with an important-sounding name. All
members
of this quartet joined this international institute, and several other
members
from around the world, basically a laundry list of anti-gay activists,
joined
the group as members of its various councils. While the group tried to
bill
itself as non-partisan, educational, and secular, the institute's job
was
basically to harass and spread lies about gay parents using junk
science.
Aforementioned nutjob would eventually be fired from his cushy
professor
job for trying to force his students to attend the group's first
meeting,
and is now slowly sinking into irrelevance. Another crackpot from the
group,
who had several pseudonyms and an anti-trans flair, seems to have
disappeared
completely. So why did the group mysteriously shut down after about two
years?
Why did many of the group's most prolific writers and speakers freeze
their
social media accounts at about the same time the group disappeared? And
why
do those who were on the group's councils or published articles
defending
the nutjob when he lost his teaching position want to erase any
association
with the group or the nutjob, and refuse to talk about it? What
happened
was one of the group's more fame-hungry members (who seems to be the
only
one still friends with the nutjob) went on several high-profile trips
to
two island nations that were mulling gay marriage, in an attempt to
sway
the politics there. American tax-exempt entities are forbidden from
trying
to influence foreign campaigns and elections, and the penalties can be
steep.
This bigot would also get banned from one of the countries for
illegally
taking part in a political rally. While she started her own group that
basically
does the same thing as the group that disappeared, she, like many other
members
of the former group, keep their association with the quietly shuttered
institution off their bios and refuse to talk about it.

The Naughty Dancing Boy: This story is about yet another dancing boy
(which
as Enty said really was a go to thing back in the day). Many of you, at
least
those born before that most notorious of decades, will know him.
Unsurprisingly,
he was and is an actor/comic, and once appeared on the original version
of
a recently rebooted series (that's been in the news this past week),
but
he is still known today for his leading (or near/co-leading) part on a
successful
earlier series. He got that part while still in grade school, and the
episode
of interest here is from the first season. (Our actor was ten years old
at
the time.) After the taping of the previous episode, a production
assistant
came backstage and handed the cast their next scripts. And since our
actor
had finished his homework already, he began reading through it. The
episode
was about one of these family or high school events you may have gone
to,
or will. But in lieu of the "firm hand" of the show's co-star, the kids
start
to get "out of hand." For reasons unclear to our actor even today, his
"acting
up" includes performing a similar dance in a similar state of undress
to
the (barely clinging to A list status?) actor/church member. Our actor
immediately felt uncomfortable about performing this scene, and told
one
of the producers - who was usually sympathetic to his concerns. In this
case
though he was told he had to perform the part as written. He shot back
that
he wouldn't do it unless he got to keep his pants on, and the producer
said,
"young man, you're out of line." It was then that the actor threw the
script
in a nearby garbage can, and stomped on it, ensuring it was covered in
coffee
and food scraps. "Big mistake," the producer said, and walked off. Soon
after,
a cast member took him aside - apparently it was the sister (why is it
always
the sister or in this case "sister?") - and told him he was going to be
flogged
on his bare backside (by the co-star) for being proud and willful, but
that
if he went through with it (the scene, I mean) the punishment would be
less.
She even showed him the paddle. It was exactly the kind they used in
boarding
schools of the co-star's home country. It had his character name burned
into
it. A couple years later, while appearing on air with the permanent A+
or
A++ list celebrity - it was a episode about young actors - he was asked
if
there was ever a scene he didn't want to do. You can imagine what he
said.
You may even remember it. What, of course, he couldn't say was the
rest.
The threat of corporal punishment was still there, and the network saw
to
it - in part by way of his character - that he had a mischievous
reputation.
As in: if he ever talked you shouldn't always believe what he says (you
should;
also: he's actually one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet). But
because
Hollywood liked to live dangerously back then, they even teased viewers
with
an episode about the actor getting spanked by the co-star (who by the
way
was never married). As I begin to hear from other former dancing boys,
it's
becoming clear to me that not only must there have been (and maybe
still
is) some kind of systemic aspect to it - a network or networks, a ring
or
rings - but also that physical and verbal abuse often seem to have been
used
in conjunction with the other kind.

****
(Do you remember that church mentioned in the one about the forthcoming feature, "the Little Drummer Boy?" This is that church.) The church had a retreat/compound in the far north of this one state. The geography is important, not because the state is in the western half of the country's interior (although it is), but because this part has long been associated with a certain type of politics and beliefs that's been basically back in the news under a new name. Some members of one of those groups were also members of the church. Who else was a visitor to the compound? Apparently this now "retired" politician from the same state. He had one near-scandal involving a minor, which blew over, but the more recent allegations were the ones that sunk him. In this case though the VIP guest was a doctor, there not in case anyone got sick or injured, but to give a presentation. It was about the dancing boys of Afghanistan. The former church member claims that the man, of Afghan origin himself, and a supporter of restoring the country's monarchy, had come to America after the fall of the royal family, and ensuing chaos. His goal? To establish the dancing boy culture in Hollywood. He'd I guess been so successful over the previous decade he'd moved on in part to other circles - Washington, Wall Street, and various well off churches, to name a few - where he'd give seminars about the dancing boys. These were the pre-internet times, of course, so this kind of knowledge was limited to mostly academics, but his fees were often in the seven figures - something no college professor could charge. The reason was his talent. Over the years, Svengali like, he'd apparently groomed dozens and maybe hundreds of boys. And he had connections to the networks he'd trained. In other words, you didn't necessarily need to risk grooming them yourselves. For the right price, you could simply buy them. Larry ("Wide Stance") Craig/doctor Khaled Hosseini

In a story that many women will find familiar, Kaley Cuoco, one of the

It
was love at first sight, at least for a little while. He was hot. (A
jawline
that could carve stone!) He was funny. (His jokes cracked everyone up.)
He
was famous. (Like, really famous.) He was just an all-around stellar
dude.
It was all so perfect that Cuoco thought she could see her future with
him,
including their little babies and those growing-old-together parts.
Everything
was falling into place . . . until the check arrived after their first
dinner
date. It was then that she discovered his dirty little secret: He was
cheap.
So exactly how does one get over a dating a stingy tipper? Can the
subject
be broached? According to Cuoco, dealing with the situation
successfully
has to do with devising post-dinner gratuity tactics. Or sometimes,
it’s
simply better not to go out. But would that be sustainable for the rest
of
our lives? In other words: Is it possible to truly love someone 100
percent
if they are only leaving 8 percent on the check? And who, exactly, was

Cuoco recall her cringeworthy experience with the cheap boyfriend.

Seven - A Reader Blind Item: This is not about gossip - at least not to
me.
This is about clearing up something for the record re the death of a
foreign-born
screen actress many years ago. We'll call her, 'Seven'. At the time I
would
hang out now and then at a house in the Hollywood Hills. There was
partying
going on there but I wouldn't describe it along the lines of weirdness,
debauchery, and whatever else, in other accounts I've read of parties
in
Hollywood. It was basically a place that had people coming and going
and
most of it in a long weekend spanning from Thursday-Friday to Monday.
Most
of the people there were under 30 and the owner was maybe 40 or a
couple
of years older. One day I met someone at the house who said he lived up
the
road with Seven. We'll call him, 'Ray' (but don't bother trying to
figure
out who he is since he wasn't a celebrity and never became one). One
thing
led to another in the conversation and he said that Seven was looking
for
some help with the house in cleaning, fixing, etc., and in exchange I
could
stay there. In the conversation I had mentioned that I was looking for
a
place to stay before he even mentioned Seven's situation. A few days
after
I went to meet Seven and she agreed as to my staying there. I mentioned
I
knew a friend, "Don", who could help since he knew something about
carpentry,
etc., but that he wouldn't be staying at the house. I think she
eventually
worked out something with him money-wise, can't remember for sure, but
I
know that something was worked out relationship-wise. For the next
month
or so we'd do some minor work but I realized that she was going to need
more
help when it came to such things as the pool which looked like the
Black
Lagoon and some masonry features. In the meantime we had some of our
friends
visit and she didn't mind since mostly it was young men and she seemed
to
enjoy the company. A few days before the month was up she told me and
Ray
that we had to leave. No real explanation was given for it but I
suspect
it may have had to something to do with Don telling me earlier that he
did
not want to be with her anymore. As to the specifics of that, I'm not
sure
but I think it may have been her perpetual state of wine and pills. In
general,
she didn't exhibit any erratic behavior or mood swings, actually, she
maintained
a continuous keel even if it was a somewhat sedate sleepwalking. Of
course,
how that translates to a more intimate setting as that with Don, it may
have
been a different story. When given the notice from Seven about leaving
I
asked her for a couple of days to get my things in order. She said
okay.
I'd see her in that time but the talk was perfunctory at best and she
mostly
kept to herself in her bedroom. On the morning when I was going to
leave,
a friend of mine, 'Clark', came by since he was going to give me a ride
to
my new place. He was a Vietnam veteran whom I had also met at the
aforementioned
house where lots of people came through. While we were talking in the
kitchen
over some coffee, Ray came rushing down the stairs saying that Seven
wasn't
responding to his knock on her bedroom door and then when he went in
and
called out to her in bed she didn't answer. He was very nervous. I
walked
up the stairs and went into her bedroom. I called out her name but
nothing.
I nudged her a few times, still nothing. Then I noticed that part of
her
back was exposed and there was a line of red at the bottom as she laid
at
her side. The blood had settled. I stood back and just looked at her,
everything
seemed suspended. At that moment Clark walked into the bedroom, looked
at
her and then just grabbed her arm and pulled back. Rigor mortis had set
in.
He said, "She's dead". Ray was standing out in the hallway and when he
heard
Clark he just ran down the stairs voicing disbelief. I just stood there
looking
at her body, thinking how could this be. On her night tables there were
those
large bottles of wine that look like jugs with small handles and
various
prescription pill containers. There were more bottles throughout the
bedroom.
I walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs. I sat at the dining
room
table. I think it was Clark who called the police, Ray wasn't in a
state
to do anything. Soon enough, two officers showed up and Clark walked
with
them upstairs and explained to them what was what. More officers showed
up.
After a few minutes, one of the first officers who had gone upstairs
came
over to me and asked if I knew what had happened, if there were some
events
or whatever before the fact. I just looked at him said no, that I was
talking
to her last night and there was no indication for anything like this.
The
officer could see that I was still in a suspended state trying to make
sense
of it for myself. He nodded his head and told me to wait there. A
half-hour
or so later the detectives showed up. I think there were three of them,
two
sat with Ray, Clark, and me in a little, den room while the other one
stood
in the background by the doorway. They asked us questions about our
stay
there, how we came to know Seven, and so on. We gave them as thorough
an
account as possible and they, like the gray-suited, seasoned Los
Angeles
Police Detectives they were, no doubt scanned all our responses and
behavior
to their satisfaction. They took all the information, driver's license,
social
security number, where we were moving to, etc. As the detectives were
leaving
I could hear one of them asking the first officer who arrived on the
scene
(the one who talked to me in the dining room) if there was evidence of
any
foul play. The officer said no. The detective shook his head in
affirmation
then left. The officer came over and told us we were free to go. In
past
years I've come across brief articles and even a little website devoted
to
Seven. The website not so much but some of the articles of course got
into
the 'conspiracy' nonsense about what happened. They related how there
was
blood on the pillow where her head rested, how there were bruises on
her
body thus leading to the implication that there was foul play. If there
had
been any of that then the detectives would have certainly asked us
questions
about it and the autopsy even more cause for suspicion. Besides, the
authorities
already knew about Seven from previous, minor incidents. The fact is
that
the only 'conspiracy' is what Seven allowed herself to be caught up in
re
'Hollywood' and its machinations. When I first met Seven and for those
brief
days I would have conversations with her with moments when she let her
guard
down, would seem more alive and even with a slight laugh or two about
something.
I could see the young woman, the young girl, her odyssey from Europe to
Hollywood, and her brief dance with fame. But then I could also see the
toll
it had taken and how her only marriage ended in a divorce from an
American
actor also had its effect. As she got older then the calls and
Hollywood
friends became less. In some of those conversations I felt an
undercurrent
that there could possibly be a relationship between us by some of the
things
she said but left hanging. Being a young, straight male, I thought
about
it and the fact that she was more than twice my age didn't concern me
at
all. In her manner she had an attractive, European sensibility which
was
quite charming in itself. But there was something there, something
unspoken
and in the background that simply said for me to step back and just let
things
stay as they are. And that's what I did. So, to those who saw a
conspiracy,
including a member of her family who expressed as such, I am here to
say
that there was nothing. What there was is the unfortunate death of a
woman
who in other circumstances would have probably gone on to live a good
life,
possibly a family of her own, and who knows, maybe a longer career as
an
actress. She certainly had the classiness and charisma for it, but time
and
space - for all of us - can often be a chancy thing. And even if in the
briefest
sense, I wanted to state what happened in reality and not the luridness
that
some are predisposed to. Seven deserves far better than that. I wish
her
Spirit well and much Love. As for all the others: I would see Don now
and
then but he would never get into details about the time with Seven and
I
didn't solicit them. A few years later Don moved out of state and I
never
saw him again. About 8 or so years ago I found out he had passed away.
Ray
was not in the best mental state when all of that happened. I felt
sorry
for him and invited him to stay with me at my mother's house. My mother
got
to know him and cared for him. She revealed later on that in
conversations
with him she saw a young man that was trying to come to terms with his
sexuality
and all that it entailed by his fear of letting others now. He stayed
for
around two weeks then moved in with some friends. He called by phone a
few
times to let us know how he was doing but eventually the calls stopped.
Never
heard from him again. He was really a nice guy. I hope he found his way
to
a better place wherever. Clark, I knew for a couple of more years until
we
had a falling out. A woman came between us. Classic story so the
readers
can fill in the details to their preference. Last time I saw him was
decades
ago at the Bodhi Tree bookstore. He just looked at me from the other
side
of a square counter they had at the time. I was wearing dark shades and
pretended
that I didn't notice him. The woman? Lived with her for 3 years or so
then
she went back to NYC. Interesting gal, she had been married to a
big-time

Faux Pas - A Reader Blind: A recent blind reminded me of this celebrity
encounter
I had when I was young. My family had the opportunity to attend a huge
international sporting event in Kentucky. This was the inaugural
competition
there so this would have been 4 decades ago. To make an even bigger
splash
for both the present and international viewing audience, this
foreign-born
A+ married celebrity opened and attended each day of competition. We
had
the opportunity to greet and visit with the celebrity which was a big
deal.
We also got a chance to witness two behaviors for which he is famous.
At
a reception, our celebrity compared a young lady's incredibly long hair
that
was woven into a heavy braid to a horse's tail, and not favorably. I
cannot
remember exactly how he said it, but I know he told her to cut her
hair.
When he said it, there were gasps of embarrassment in the crowd, which
were
quickly suppressed. The celebrity didn't seem to notice. I remember
that
the girl, probably 17 or 18 turned bright red. I felt terrible for her
to
be insulted so personally and publicly. On this trip, the celebrity was
accompanied everywhere by an assistant, never farther away than a few
feet,
who was a younger, smartly dressed and attractive woman. I myself was
too
young to notice anything, but my mother, God bless her, remarked to us
afterward
that she had sharpened butcher knife if our dad ever tried flying
around
the world with his coochie-coo. I remember this because she cracked
herself
up. She witnessed the glances, hand brushes and lingering arms around
the
waist. On this trip, the celebrity made a much bigger faux pas that
caused
the print media in his home country and ours to go into overdrive
criticizing
him, but as we all know, the wife doesn't seem to mind.

They Knew: When the phone rang earlier this week, it was someone I
hadn't
spoken to in nearly a decade. Back when I first started writing the
blog,
I met this guy one night at The Improv. He was there watching some
potential
client who he thought sucked two minutes into the act. He told me as
much
even though we hadn't spoken before that moment. I laughed and told him
I
was headed to the front of the place because the drinks came faster and
stronger
when you were at the bar. He followed along. When he told me his name,
I
recognized the name and knew he had represented some really big names.
The
thing is though, he represented them when they were all child/teen
actors
who blew him off as they got older. He had a knack for signing kids and
that
is how he made most of his money as a manager. He supplemented by
trying
to find comics who could play the older brother/sister in some of these
kid
sitcoms. Someone unknown, but funny is how he put it. The guy is a
straight
shooter. No one has ever accused him of anything other than being
greedy
and trying to sign the most clients possible. He told me that
especially
at the age he was signing these kids, most would give up or their
parents
would give up. Most would only be cute for a bit and when the cute was
gone,
most likely was the career. He worked hard for everyone, but needed a
lot
of kids to make it work. He told me about this show where he once
brought
in the entire cast all by himself. One of the members of the cast he
did
not bring in was someone who is now an A lister. Probably permanent to
be
honest with you. The reason he didn't being her in was because her
parents
seemed liked they were more interested in selling her off to older men.
They
just assumed, even though she had not even reached 10 that he would
want
to spend some time "alone" with her. Umm, no he wouldn't. Right then he
walked
out. That night and he I spoke, that is where he left it. We never
spoke
about the subject again in the few times we ran into each other since
then.
Like I said though, that last time we ran into each other or spoke was
about
a decade ago. I was somehow on his e-mail list where he scouted for
talent
and talked about opportunities or parties and successes. It was kind of
like
a Christmas letter, I got once a month. When we spoke this week, he
said
he had a premonition he was going to die and was trying to say goodbye
to
everyone just in case. He mentioned something about that permanent A
lister
because of a photo that was making the rounds and we talked about what
had
preceded that and then he told me again about the parents but then he
went
on. He said when that show ended, it kind of looked like the career
might
end and all that easy money that had been flowing the way of the
parents.
The parents wanted the easy money to continue, so basically pimped out
their
kid to any producer or casting director who would give her a shot. This
went
on for years until the A lister did get the break. The parents didn't
care
about the cost to their kid, they were lining their wallets and when
someone
else close to them had the chance, they talked themselves into doing it
all
over again. They knew exactly who did what to whom and they didn't care
because
it was money that they cared about it. Oh, and yes, the mom in the
family
offered herself up to the producers and casting directors who didn't
want
to molest a child.

A Reader Blind Item: I just came across a recent interview with a
member
of an iconic group (we’ll call him "D") which reminded me of a
memorable
situation I once found myself in. Everyone has always seemed to think
of
this guy as the epitome of cool, and he’s admired by many men of a
certain
age group. When I was a teenager in the 80s, I hung around with some
much
cooler, older people, who lived in a decent sized east coast city. Many
of
these people were in bands or friends with people in bands, so they
were
familiar with touring bands from all over, mostly on the club level and
punk
rock in nature. As time went on, a handful of these bands went on to be
wildly
successful. This story involves one such trio. My friend K knew these
guys
and asked me if I wanted to go see the trio in another east coast city,
about
an hour away, where they were scheduled to play a large venue. I said
ok
and we drove out there. I was almost 17 and had a junky car. This was
long
before cell phones, so we just hung around outside the venue before the
concert
until we ran into someone he knew. This guy, I’ll call "C" (who
actually
went on to be a fairly well known artist) asked me if I would help him
find
a girl who would be willing to be a part of the "stage show". I
obliged,
and we had a very rough time finding a girl who was old enough (around
18+),
not with her parents, and not attached to a boyfriend. Basically, she
had
to be willing to let go of her inhibitions, in front of thousands of
people.
Finally, we found a girl who looked to be college aged, dressed
scantily,
and seemed up for anything. C quickly gave her the spiel and she agreed
to
be a part of the show. C then invited us all back to the hotel to hang
out
with the group. So, there I was hanging out with two of the three
members
of this group in the hotel room, post soundcheck, at around 5pm. When I
entered
the room, the nicest guy in the group (who was wearing a hipster cowboy
hat
before they were hip), I’ll call him "B" (who is sadly now deceased),
greeted me with "Howdy, dude!" and tipped his hat my way, which I
thought
was very sweet, given that I’m female. I’m sure I blushed. Sitting
by the window was their traveling photographer friend "R" (also a
pretty
famous artist and character) who was studying his slides of the band.
Other
people in the room were deep in conversation. I was trying to act like
I
belonged, even though I felt awkward and didn’t really know anyone,
and had no one to talk to. The girl C found for the show was no longer
in
the hotel room and I didn’t know where she went. There were some other
girls in the room too and I didn’t know her anyway, so I wasn’t
really thinking about it too much. One guy from the group, I’ll call
him "H", grabbed the phone in the room and dragged it out into the hall
and
closed the door. The cord was really long. Someone said he was on the
phone
with his at the time A+ movie actress girlfriend, "S", whom everyone
knows
and loved back then (she doesn’t work as much as she used to but at
that time, she was a superstar). A few minutes later, band member
three,
"D" came bursting into the room. He was very sweaty in a panic. He
looked
at me and the two other girls sitting on the bed and yelled "HEY! I
need
one of you girls to get me ready. I’ve got this chick in the next room
waiting, so who’s going to help me out? Huh? I need one of you to get
me ready! NOW! WELL?". I sheepishly looked around for help and said
"not
me" and the other girls said some version of the same and he promptly
said
"then what the fuck are you doing here? get THE FUCK OUT!" and ran and
opened
the door and pushed us out. I had no idea I was going to be required to
be
a "fluffer", so I left, feeling awful about the whole experience. As I
walked
out, I saw A sitting on the floor down the hall, still on the phone,
looking
distraught.

A Reader Blind: This blind is about the biggest story in London that
was
never reported. In the 90s I worked in a restaurant that was located on
the
15th floor of building off Oxford Street in London. It had great views
of
the city with wall to wall windows. Half the building was a hotel and
the
other floors were occupied by the BBC. Due to the location of these
offices
we often served big and minor celebs in the restaurant. I once made
John
Cleese and Michael Palin laugh (it doesn’t get much better than that).
I also once snapped at ‘Chelle and Sharon from Eastenders because they
dared to try and order a drink when I was frazzled and having a minor
panic
attack. I shared a lift with Ewan Mcgregor (unfortunately he didn’t
hit on me) and put up with a grumpy ‘ol Dell boy! This blind though
doesn’t evolve from the mouths of celebs, but from the mouths of BBC
news editors and journalists who were having a posh lunch and chat as
an
end of year celebration. There were about 15 of them and of course
about
90% men. I’m Australian and one of them asked me in a deliberately
condescending tone, "So, which part of the antipodes are you from?".
Yes,
they were those kind of fellows. As lunch was served and wine topped
up,
the conversation turned to deciding what was the biggest story that
they
had never reported. As the conversation continued, I made sure to stay
close
to the table and eavesdrop. Wouldn’t you? They tossed around a few
ideas
and then they all decided on one story that they all knew about, but
never
reported or even whispered in the press. According to the journos and
editors
one of the most famous marriages in history ended because the fiery
wife
actually walked in on her A list husband in bed with one of his male
friends.
So why was this never reported? . They all really liked the A list man
who
was sprung playing sword fights with his able seaman. (they were quite
indifferent about the wife, who has never really been accepted in the
upper
echelons of British society). They respected him too much personally to
reveal
the truth. Are you surprised? Prince Andrew, Duke of York/Sarah,

show and has had some decent movie roles over the years. He is a lead,
but
one of those quiet leads who straddles the line between indie and box
office
getting those quiet box office movies. Generally the movies he leads
are
your movies that look like they are going to have some Oscar noms but
always
fall a little short. You all know him. Name to face? It is a tough one,
but
you all know the face. He is married. The thing is though, he is the
guy
who always leaves his wife at home even if he has a premiere. He got
married
to have people stop asking questions about his private life. This story
happened
about a year ago and the actor paid a settlement and the victim signed
a
NDA, but is willing to speak here. Apparently our actor, even though he
lives
in town got a hotel room. He then found our victim on Grindr. Our actor
is
HIV+. Our actor didn't tell the victim that though. Our actor told the
victim
he liked rough sex and offered the victim $1000 for rough sex. The
victim
agreed and before he knew it he was tied up and being used. Our actor
didn't
use any protection and beat and basically raped the victim multiple
times
while the victim was restrained. At the end of it, the actor released
the
victim and actually gave him $1500 instead of the $1000 but had him
sign
an NDA. The NDA also included a provision that forbid the guy for suing
if
he caught any kind of STD from the actor. Fast forward about six months
and
the victim discovered he is now HIV+. The only person he had
unprotected
sex with was the actor. When he tried to reach out to the actor he was
shut
down by his legal team and a pair of security people who visited the
studio
apartment of the victim. He was reminded of the NDA. When he threatened
to
go to the media, a repeat visit from the security guards and another
letter
from an attorney who threatened to sue the victim even though the
victim
was HIV+. Our victim got a lawyer. The lawyer managed to get $20K from
the
actor but that was it. He did also find out, the actor has done this to
other
men before. At least three other men that the lawyer discovered. Joseph

Fading Superstar - A Reader Blind Item: Here's a blind about an action
star
from Old Hollywood, or to be exact - 70's Hollywood. The real truth of
this
actor's mysterious demise at a young age is mostly buried due to the
ridiculous
lies told about the Actors life, and mysterious death. I know this for
fact
as I'm working on a film about it. It's a fascinating tragedy detailing
the
demise of a fascinating superstar. I'm sure everyone will guess who,
but
doubt they know the real story. There is a mythical "Christlike" aura
spread
about this actor. The Biopic film on the actors life twenty years ago
was
pure BS. There was some truth, and he was dynamic and talented, but the
real
truth and utter darkness has been sanitized. This is a story about the
relentless
pursuit of fame, tremendous talent, and a dangerous man, who was most
dangerous
to himself. Kick it back to early seventies. Bronson and McQueen were
on
the scene and Clint's meteoric rise was just jettisoning into
mainstream
awareness, but there was one star who was totally unknown to the public
who
was about to emerge in the biggest Action Smash of the summer. Everyone
knows
what became of this actor and his name today is legendary, but what
most
people do not know is what transpired behind the scenes while this
actor
was pursuing his dream of becoming the #1 Action Star in the world.
Like
Clint, this actor emerged out of International films and became a big
box
office success. The Actor was a physical fitness fanatic. He believed
the
mind can subjugate anything, including physical pain. He pushed his
body
relentlessly and was determined towards achieving his Hollywood goals.
The
actor was a fascinating human being and was faced with tremendous
setbacks,
including one leg shorter than the other, Cryptorchidism, having ideas
for
projects stolen, and flat out racism. Some friends he left behind
adored
him, Some feared him. All told stories of a violent temper that could
explode
on a dime. He didn't like to be touched - ever. Do not ever lay a hand
on
him. There was an inner anger deep inside this philosophical dark
athletic
genius on the level of a Nureyev, or a Jordan. A deceased Oscar Winning
Writer
tells a story of the Action Star telling him, 'if you cannot hug a man,
"you'll
never be able to beat him in a street fight." "You must love him to
destroy
him, but if you must destroy him, thank him first for allowing you to
wreak
havoc upon his soul." Without a doubt this actor was a very capable
full
fledged fighter, although never fought professionally. Most described
the
actor as loyal and giving. Dynamic and impatient. Explosive and hot
tempered.
Renegade and Innovator. Insecure and cocky, while pursuing is dreams.
Years
of frustration and rejection fueled the actors anger. He was determined
to
show the world his art, his culture, and the action films audiences
were
currently being fed, were weak and banal. After years of frustration
and
setbacks, and eventually great success in International films,
Hollywood
finally came calling, but the Actor was already living his life like a
spiraling
tornado of violence, not only inflicted on himself, but on others.
After
suffering a severe physical injury (self inflicted) the Actor took to
Cortisone
shots for pain management. This use of steroids added another layer of
rage
to the Actor's deep seeded anger. He broke out in acne and began
sweating
profusely. His hot temper flared. Coupled with the enormous strain and
violence
he placed on himself, and pressures to succeed, The Actor took to
ingesting
Nepalese hashish to calm down. To manage tremendous physical pain the
Cortisone
shots continued. Shot after shot. More sweating. The anger heightened,
with
no idea of the side affects of Cortisone, The Actor became highly
concerned
prompting him to remove his sweat glands. Both Apocrine glands under
each
armpit were removed. Even though the Actor was married, accompanying
him
to the overseas procedure was his new found mistress. As the Actor
moved
into production on his first Hollywood film his weight fluctuated due
to
non-use and use of Cortisone, diuretics, and odd meals consisting of
cows
blood smoothies. He had physical outbursts at home. Physical
altercations
with many on and off set, including on the Hollywood Movie he was
filming
and even at his own home. He was becoming paranoid to the point of
purchasing a gun, smuggled to him overseas in a jar of protein
powder.
The Actor was a picture of health, and his physique was part of his
dynamic
package, but under the surface was another story. With the pressures of
a
grueling film schedule, all contingent on his success and dreams, an
explosive
outburst and pulling a knife on an International director. The physcial
abuse
he inflicted on himself continued. Regular Cortisone shots, relentless
and
insane physical fitness routines, such as elctro-shock apparatuses to
stimulate
100 push ups while resting, low body weight, diuretics, hash, minimal
eating,
fasting, and pushing his body to the exhaustive point of telling his
wife
"not sure how much longer I can keep this up," all led to a collapse on
his
mistress's bed, never to wake up. Many mysteries surround the actors
death,
but there is only one person to blame. Today, when you watch the
legendary
film, the opening scene, filmed some eight weeks before his death, a
severe
physical change is kicking in. Gaunt face and skin, low body weight,
and
you can almost see, death closing in...

BLUNT/JOHN KRASINSKI 04/09
Emily Blunt has revealed she forced her husband to fire a rival actress
in
order to make way for her appearance in the film. Appearing on the
first
episode of the new season of the UK’s "The Graham Norton Show," Blunt,
who stars in the horror film "A Quiet Place," said she initially wasn’t
interested in starring in the film and suggested a friend of hers to
take
the role instead. Blunt would not name the actress but described her as
a
"good friend." The movie was directed and co-written by husband John
Krasinski.
"We had just had our second child (Violet) and I was about to do Mary
Poppins
and so I was in a sort of general feeling of joy, I didn’t know if I
wanted to go towards the darkness of the pitch that he’d given me,"
she said. With Krasinski by her side, she said she "mentioned a friend
of
mine" and suggested he "should call so and so." Krasinksi replied: "So
and
so was so good." Despite his call to the actress, Blunt said that as
soon
as she read the script for the film she approached her husband and
said:
"You need to call her and fire her." Blunt said she was still friends
with
the actress "until the movie comes out." "You didn’t send her a script
admittedly, she wasn’t hired," Blunt defended. The "Mary Poppins"
remake,
entitled "Mary Poppins Returns," will take place in 1930s London and
sees
the magical nanny returning to visit the now grown Michael and Jane
Banks
and help them "rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives."
Blunt
will be joined by her "Into The Woods" co-star Meryl Streep as well as
Colin
Firth, Hamilton’s Lin Manuel Miranda, Emily Mortimer and Ben Whishaw.
Dick Van Dyke will also make a featured appearance. The "Mary Poppins"
sequel
is scheduled to hit theaters in December 2018. Anne Hathaway

Another Victim: In the past, I have written a few times about my

with this former A- list mostly movie actress. This is not really about
her,

is
tough to keep track of them on a daily basis. One of those demons is
this
person close to her. I believe he is responsible for the death of
someone
else I knew who was trying to get her head right when he screwed her
over
for the second time. My friend and this actress were filming a movie
back
in the day when the person close to my friend raped this actress when
she
was an early teen. He repeatedly raped her for a month, almost every
day
and forced her to do more and more degrading things and used his power
to
threaten her with getting her kicked off the movie and also threatened
that
he would spread rumors about her unless she gave into his demands. That
was
just about the end of her acting career. Oh, sure, she tried for a
couple
years more, but she was a shell of a human. About a decade later there
was
a reunion of the people on the movie and she did show up for an
interview.
The person close to my friend was there too and this time he not only
raped
the actress again, but also threatened to kill her. He also injected
her
with heroin before raping her even though she told him she was trying
to
get clean. In fact, she had been clean for almost a year after staying
in
rehab for six months. He tied her to the bed and shot her up. He then
raped
her for 12 hours straight. She then never could stop using in an effort
to
rid herself of the demons he caused and ended up dying at a very young
age.

shuts her mouth and listens sometimes. She’s ain’t got time for

Catch And Release - A Mr. Hedge Blind Item: This serial pedophile was a
child
acting manager in Hollywood. For almost 2 decades, he took advantage of
the
system, and its victims, in sickening fashion. A small minority of his
many
crimes against children are described below. Authorities caught him
red-handed
on multiple occasions with child porn. Each time, this pedophile would
give
up a bigger fish in the network, and get nothing more than a slap on
the
wrist. This acting manager once targeted a victim with married parents,
who
had very recently moved out to Hollywood, in their child’s pursuit of
an acting career. This vile man began having an affair with the mother,
abused
the young boy, and made child porn as well. Somehow, the prosecutors
chose
only to pursue charges for the child porn, but not the abuse. After a
ridiculously short jail sentence, this pedophile took revenge. He
obtained
copies of many different child porn videos he had produced featuring
this
particular victim, which he somehow had managed to hide from
authorities.
He released the videos to pedophile areas on the dark internet, and
sent
copies to his victim’s agents, casting directors, friends, and even
family members. This completely crushed even the faintest of hopes for
his
victim to resume some sense of a normal life, and pursue an acting
career.
Several years ago, this disgusting creature was charged with committing
more
horrible crimes against additional children, which included making
child
porn and torture videos. Finally, he was put in jail for what should be
the
rest of his natural life.

TRUMP/FORREST GUMP 04/11
A Republican Congressman has let loose and expressed his true feelings
about
President Donald Trump to Erick Erickson, a far right wing pundit.
Erickson
is a former Fox News contributor and was the editor of RedState. He
will
not identify the GOP lawmaker who is from a "very Republican" district
for
obvious reasons, writing the Congressman "is happy to be quoted, so
long
as I don’t name him." "If we’re going to lose because of him, we
might as well impeach the motherf**ker," the unnamed Republican
Congressman
we’ll call "Rep. X," supposedly said to Erickson. Erickson says Rep.
X continued his rant, saying, "dammit he’s taking us all down with him.
We are well and truly f**ked in November. Kevin [McCarthy] is already
circling
like a green fly circling sh*t trying to take Paul’s [Ryan] job because
nobody thinks he’s sticking around for Nancy [Pelosi]. She’s going
to f**k up the cafeteria again too. [Lord’s name in vain], at least
I’ll probably lose too and won’t have to put up with that sh*t."
(Speaker Ryan announced today he is retiring at the end of his term.)
"It’s
like Forrest Gump won the presidency, but an evil, really f*cking
stupid
Forrest Gump. He can’t help himself. He’s just a f**king idiot
who thinks he’s winning when people are b*tching about him. He really
does see the world as ratings and attention. I hate Forrest Gump." The
House
Judiciary Committee "just might pull the trigger if the President fires
Mueller,"
Rep. X supposedly said. "The sh*t will hit the fan if that happens and
I’d
vote to impeach him myself. Most of us would, I think. Hell, all the
Democrats
would and you only need a majority in the House. If we’re going to lose
because of him, we might as well impeach the motherf**ker. Take him out
with
us and let Mike [Pence] take over. At least then we could sleep well at
night."
Rep. X calls Vice President Pence "competent." "I say a lot of shit on
TV
defending him, even over this," Rep. X tells Erickson. Erickson
describes
the Congressman as someone who defends Trump on Fox News and in public
but
obviously has a different personal opinion. The media and Democrats on
Capitol
Hill often say many Republican lawmakers oppose Trump in private, but
won’t
in public. (There are several words for that.) "But honestly, I wish
the
motherf*cker would just go away. We’re going to lose the House, lose
the Senate, and lose a bunch of states because of him. All his
supporters
will blame us for what we have or have not done, but he hasn’t led.
He wakes up in the morning, sh*ts all over Twitter, sh*ts all over us,
sh*ts
all over his staff, then hits golf balls. F*ck him. Of course, I can’t
say that in public or I’d get run out of town." Of course.

They Don't Exist: This A or A+ list CEO has been making the rounds of
TV
and other media in recent weeks, calling out his younger counterpart
for
questionable data practices. I don't know if it's ironic exactly,
though
it does sound funny coming from the head of a major company with a long
and
well known history of labor abuses in a certain very populous country.
What's
less well known is that our CEO was a driving force behind the
offshoring
of so much production. The public reason is money, which is always a
factor,
but as CDAN readers know there is often a private, and even in some
cases
secret reason. You see, when the CEO is in country, he likes to visit
barely
legal nationals of a certain sex. Or rather, they say they are, and we
all
hope they're that, at least. This country famously keeps tabs on all
births,
but out in the countryside especially they're not always recorded.
Sometimes
the family had paid a bribe to avoid violating the national policy, and
sometimes
it's just bureaucratic incompetence. In any event there's no record of
how
old they are, or even that they exist. And just as the industrial
revolution
brought the rural masses to cities in the nineteenth century West, this
country's
cities have been thronged by migrants looking for work in recent
decades.
Some of them find it, including at places like the one where this CEO's
products
are made, but it is often low paying. The toil is miserable, and more
than
a few have killed themselves. Others find that they can make much more
money
providing services to wealthy foreigners - especially those with a
singular
preference for young men of this particular ethnicity, and even nation
of
origin. In the CEO's community, there's a term for it.

The Trafficking Train: A lot of moving parts here that involve not just
sex
trafficking, but also drug trafficking and an obscure piece of
geography
that makes it all possible. A couple of decades ago, this foreign born
actress
was the hottest actress in her country. She wanted to be known. She
pushed
the boundary of what was socially acceptable in that country and
eventually
paid the price when the public wanted her to reign it in a bit and she
refused.
The last movie she made, she was kicked off when she wouldn't sleep
with
the director. That all changed when a mafia leader in the country went
to
the home of the director with three other men and raped the director's
significant other at the time while making the director watch. The next
day,
the actress was back on the film, but it was her last. That mafia
leader
became the husband of the actress and they moved to the Middle East to,
you
guessed it, Dubai. There they started trafficking in men to be
exploited
in the construction industry and in women to supply maids and
housekeepers
for private homes. Those women were often sexually assaulted by their
employers
and also abused and even in some cases murdered. Other women were
trafficked
to the country solely for use as sex workers for the men working in the
construction industry. The pair never got into any trouble for any of
the
human trafficking, but did get in some hot water for drugs. They had
paid
enough in bribes over the years though, that a potential death sentence
just
led them to having their visas revoked and they were kicked out of the
country.
The couple then found themselves in an African country. Kenya to be
exact.
There they continued their human and sex trafficking business and added
Kenyan
women to the growing list of people they were shipping all over the
world.
What brought them down again was their thirst for more money and drug
trafficking. They just couldn't stop and they were busted. In order to
get
a lighter sentence, they sold some people higher up in the food chain
to
authorities and also dropped a lot of high powered names around the
world
who were the recipients of these women for their "household staff." A
shocking
number of them went through Canada to the US by a fluke of geography
that
allows a piece of what should be mainland Canada to actually be located
in
the US. The border there is porous or non existent and once across, the
trafficked women can be moved easily to another state. The way it
worked
was the women would be flown from India to Canada where they didn't
need
a visa or were able to easily get one and then walked across the border
to
the US where they were then put on a boat for an hour to a more easily
accessible
US location. The couple estimates they shipped 500-600 women that way
that
were basically sex slaves to their employers. Over the past few years,
some
of those employers have been exposed when their "employees" have
managed
to escape.

A Reader Blind: One closeted half of one of the best bands ever was
having
an affair, rivaling that of Shakespeare, with his long dead bandmate.
The
two first met prostituting when they were around 15 as they were
incredibly
poor. When that backfired, one suggested mugging dudes in back alleys
but
the more violently perceived one couldn’t do it, so they started an
empire. Despite the fact they were estranged for the late halves of
their
lives, they often booked rooms in hotels under different names and
their
public feud was just for show, much like most of their lives. As well
as
this they ghostwrote some of the most famous songs ever for each other,
and
called each other regularly. Their relationship in its day, though not
public
was an open secret, especially to their rock buddies who admired the
couple
greatly. The wife of the deceased member of this couple has no idea and
would
probably scream if she found out. The wife of the other knew about it,
supported
it and just wanted her husband to be happy even if that meant
abandoning
the kids. During their reign, they threw bricks at each-others windows,
tried
to fight each-others girlfriends, publicly screamed about how much they
missed
each other at parties, spiralled into depression, took copious amounts
of
drugs and alcohol, and were planning to ‘reunite’ and get a old
man farm together before one half’s unfortunate death. The alive one,
who is considered a bit lame, still loves his other half immensely and
plans
to release a tell-all once the banshee dies as he wants to preserve
their
relationship and finally tell the truth about the ordeal. Truly a sad
story
indeed.

A Reader Blind Item: Back in the day, there was a famous feud that
sometimes
spilled out into public view - on tv, in the courts, and on the pages
of
certain magazines - between two men, both now deceased. They were on
opposite
ends of one spectrum, and while it may come as a shock to some the same
end
of a different spectrum. I say a shock to some, but practically
everyone
suspected it of this person (who we'll call BO, for the series) at one
time
or another, on one legendary occasion possibly "200,000,000 Americans."
He
was mistaken for something else in childhood pictures, and was
reprimanded
as a young officer (he was not career military, you understand) for a
stunt
worthy of a certain formerly disgraced (times change) English author.
By
the time it escalated into a legal battle - there had already been
years
of shouting matches and near altercations - the two had amassed
impressive
files on each other. The longtime Hollywood procurer for the other (who
we'll
call JW, for the debut) denies on record that any of his interests
there
were underage, but what of course about the time he spent abroad, in
southern
Europe and later in Asia? The sworn statements provided to that legacy
detective
agency tell a different story. This person went to his grave fearful
about
the release of these statements and related pictures. The relatives may
have
been scorned, and left out of the will, but they were still telling the
truth.
So, why then did BO drop the suit at the eleventh hour, fearful of what
he
might be asked under oath? It might be because of what JW's team, which
included
a purported former KGB spy, had found out about BO's own interest:
barely
legal hustlers, often rough trade. He'd hire them whenever he was
visiting
his many politician friends in DC. He called them his "habit." For him,
the
revelation would have been enough to end his career, and bring down his
empire.
It's a shame that the movie left so much of this story out. I wonder
how
much the shelved one was going to say.

The Lookalike - A Reader Blind Item: Back in the day, this band was one
of
the most popular acts touring America. They were a traveling party and
their
fans worshipped them. Some of their fanbase was very young. Too young
to
legally consent to certain activities. And tragically, an adult male on
the
fringe of the rock scene in one part of the USA who looked a great deal
like
one of this band's lineup took cruel advantage of a few kids and their
star
struck naiveté, convincing them he actually was a star in this group.
He lured them to motels and did very illegal things to these kids.
Stories
started floating around about what was happening. The manager knew he
had
a huge problem on his hands. This musician was no boy scout, as he
loved
to party and loved his drugs. But he wasn't a child abuser. The manager
soon
talked with a leader within a certain very notorious subculture (these
guys
DO NOT like being referred to as a 'gang'). The members of this
subculture
were greatly offended anyone would abuse their friend's celebrity in
such
an evil way. The two commiserated over how the musician's reputation
could
suffer enormously if he was thought by police and the public of
committing
the crimes that his lookalike had. They needed a plan. The very scary
if
he wasn't your friend leader assured the manager he'd take care of it
soon.
And he did, with some other very scary friends of his. The lookalike
conman
predator soon disappeared. Did he get a stern warning to leave town
permanently?
Was he beaten into a bloody pulp and maimed? Killed?! Not exactly sure
(the
scary guys tend to not talk about these matters publicly), but he
wasn't
out impersonating and raping anyone on that scene anymore. Can't
imagine
anybody, even law enforcement, if he was on their radar back then, are
too
concerned about his general welfare after he did these things that made

The Photographer - Mr. Hedge: This serial pedophile was a Hollywood
photographer
for decades. He has not been discussed in any previous blinds. He hails
from
a state in the Midwest, so let’s call him M. M’s father was a locally
famous media personality. His father always defended M’s innocence
publicly,
and used his connections to help get M out of trouble on a number of
occasions.
Almost 4 decades ago, M was charged with soliciting a minor for sex,
and
got off with a warning. About 3 decades ago, M was arrested for abusing
a
young teen boy he photographed, as well as child porn. Through a plea
deal,
M only spent a couple months in jail. Despite M’s conviction and order
to stay away from children, he went straight to Hollywood. M became
friends
with another serial pedophile who has been discussed here before, NS.
For
many years, through NS, and eventually others, M would make frequent
trips
to Hollywood to both photograph and physically molest young boys. NS
was
one of many pedophile managers of child actors who provided
introductions
on M’s behalf. M would then sell photographs on the internet. He even
had his own website, by his own name. He used the typical style -
shirtless/barefoot young boys at a downward angle, over which
pedophiles
are known to fetishize. M would sometimes do close-up shots, featuring
the
bare armpits of pre-pubescent boys, which is another common pedophile
fetish.
M would also sell the child porn he produced through his Hollywood
connections.
About a decade ago, M was finally busted for child porn once again. A
raid
of his Midwest home turned up many, many images and videos. As a repeat
offender,
it looked like M was headed to jail for a long time. Incredibly, M
managed
a plea deal, with the help of his prominent father’s local connections.
Over 20 child porn charges were dropped, in exchange for a guilty plea
to
1 single count. This plea deal put M in jail for only a couple years.
During
this relatively brief jail stint, it was discovered that his web site
was
still in operation, selling the same barely-legal young boy photographs
as
always. A friend stepped in to run the website while M was in jail, and
he
claimed it was due to demand by fans. Believe it or not, there was yet
another
pedophile with the same first and last name, who was convicted of
molesting
a young boy for years in CA – as his piano teacher.

Kill The Killers: Someone had to do it. The first time was a couple
decades
ago. The female teens being brought over from the Middle East under the
guise
of a school being run by the husband of someone in this country
extremely
wealthy. He had ties back to his home country. There was always
violence
in the country. It just seemed to only happen to parents and siblings
of
people who had a very attractive female in the family. There was an
agreement
in place with the sons of the rulers of this country. They got first
shot
and then the teen was shipped to a cult here in the US. Often, those
teens
once they had been here for some time needed to be disposed of for one
reason
or another. So, that task was at one point in the purview of one of the
closest
women to the throne so to speak. She would given them something in
their
tea at night and the teen would never wake up. Well, after doing this a
half
dozen times, the woman wanted to leave the cult. That was not going to
happen
and she was killed. Oh, they made it sound like a suicide and no one
really
paid too much attention to the story and they got away with it. Well,
she
needed to be replaced with someone else who could do the dirty work and
they
found such a person. The thing is though, after about a dozen years
doing
it, she too was wanting to exit the cult. Nope. She was killed a couple
years
ago and the body cremated before her death was even reported to the
authorities.
As more details start to emerge with people in the cult looking to cut
deals,

One of the biggest footballers in the UK has made a big decision, a
source
exclusively tells us. The transfer window in England hasn’t opened just
yet, but that doesn’t mean an A list footballer isn’t already planning
on making a high profile move. ‘He’s selling his mansion,’
says the source about the unsettled player. ‘It’s a quiet one to
a friend, so the papers won’t clock on and be able to create drama
before
the season is over.’ The footballer is allegedly planning on forcing
a move through if his team’s hierarchy say no and has already united
his agent and his publicist in their efforts to find a good contract at
another

A Reader Blind Item: In 2016, there was an incident which made
international
news - a big name celebrity fell afoul of a criminal group. While the
story
itself was reported, what didn't ultimately get revealed was that these
criminals
were working for a very dangerous organization. To be honest, the
celebrity
was just lucky that things didn't go more badly for them. The incident
was
interestingly timed to coincide with the expected release of
information
by a prominent media organization that ultimately never materialized
when
everyone expected it to. Had this information gotten out, it would have
caused
significant shock globally and embarrassed authorities in the country.
So
instead of allowing the truth to get out, there was a cover up. Police
intentionally allowed conflicting statements to be made, protocols were
broken,
fake camera footage was distributed to the media, reports where experts
asked
inconvenient questions were scrubbed from tabloids, witnesses were sent
abroad
and not allowed to return. A few outlets, hungry for a scoop, put out
enough
information that a few individuals began to ask questions. But with
friendly
news organizations running cover, the truth has remained hidden. Which
in
a way is unfortunate because this celebrity might have actually gotten
a
lot more public sympathy for what they went through.
Celebrity:
Kim Kardashian
Incident: Paris robbery (intended to be a kidnapping)
Organization tied to criminals: ISIS
Media outlet releasing information: Wikileaks (10th anniversary

many were speculating would be released as part of the event.

The Expert - A Reader Blind Item: This man was no joke. He'd killed
many
times, both in a foreign nation during a war and on the streets in his
own
country. He got into a business after his military years that allowed
him
to become very wealthy. An illegal business. With the help of a
tactical
genius the expert met after the war when fleeing his hometown, he and
their
powerful new business associates located near the equator managed to
bring
in incredible amounts of cocaine to power millions of Americans during
their
partying throughout the late seventies and into the go go eighties.
There
were several other enterprising people who'd quickly made fortunes in
the
USA through this competitive business, but the presence and know how of
their
genius gave the expert and his crew the advantage over all of the rest.
Air,
land, sea, their genius outsmarted the government every step of the way
when
it came to smuggling. And anyone they needed to bribe, usually local
authorities,
they had no trouble bribing with big bucks. The expert met lots of
people,
some famous and some not so well known. Some he liked, some he couldn't
stand.
One he did not like was a movie star, among the hottest of the 1970s A
listers.
This still living actor assumed he was entitled to free blow wherever
he
went back then because of a role he played that established him as very
cool
among wannabe mob guys and real gangsters alike. This actor hoovered up
a
large amount of nose candy in record time when they met and demanded
more
immediately, not sharing it with any of the others there that day. The
expert
didn't enjoy his company during their meeting and basically told him
off
in no uncertain terms when asked for his number to later stay in touch.
A
group he socialized with after he became very rich were a
legendary
bunch of pros in another field, this one a legal business, but one that
also
had short career spans for most. They were at the top of their game in
the
late 1970s, destroying their competition and setting new standards for
toughness.
Some of them came to his home one night around a very important point
in
their careers and were impatient for the party favors to get doled out.
Because
the expert liked them a lot, he didn't treat them like the mob icon
actor.
Due to the source of his wealth, he never had trouble providing high
quality
party favors for his guests. He partied with lots of people in this
field.
After that year's big success soon afterwards, he was there with them
again,
partying in a hotel this time and enjoying the post-victory glow. Life
was
sweet for the expert. He had many women, but only one was truly the
love
of his life. They had a very volatile relationship. He cheated, she
cheated.
They fought. A lot. She wanted to get into acting. Already a stunning
woman
who made a career in modelling, she seemed like a natural for the big
screen.
And there was a trip out west to see if they could get her career off
on
the right foot. He met some people who worked in TV and movies, people
easily
impressed by guys from the other side of the tracks that seemed like
they
knew what they were talking about. He certainly had enough money to
invest
in productions if he wanted to. He saw how their so called experts
advised
them about how deals allegedly went down. Their scripted scenes often
involved
large amounts of product and money being openly exchanged in public
places
and in broad daylight by clueless fools who didn't resemble the
dangerous,
no nonsense men the expert dealt with all the time. He told the TV and
movie
people that their advisors were full of crap. Nobody for real dealt
their
product that way. It was TV BS. The lady of the expert eventually got a
small
role in a film, this one starring an A list 1970s star. One barely
alive
and not well liked by CDAN writers and readers alike. I think you'll
all
know who he is. His career was starting to run out of gas by this
point.
A new generation of young stars who weren't so cocky were about to
emerge
and this aging man was still acting like he was the king of the world.
The
poster for the film was a rather silly idea, based upon a plot device
that
you might not get away with today. The lady of the expert was on this
poster
with the A lister, but you saw something one didn't normally see in
mainstream
ads. It was mostly about her body and the fading box office power of
the
star. That was the high point of her acting career. She had a couple of
other
screen appearances. One in a tossed together sequel, another much later
on
as herself in a truly great film. The expert dealt with people who
valued
family above almost everything else. Even third cousins and in-laws
were
treated like royalty. And those often tenuous connections allowed
another
American who had a big mouth far more power than he should have ever
possessed.
This man married to a relative of the powerful people near the equator
eventually
got in very big trouble and then ratted out the expert, the genius, and
basically
everyone else he could when he got busted. He was the proverbial weak
link
in the chain that destroyed their whole empire. A guy who redefined
WITSEC,
way beyond Henry Hill in his overall impact. The expert and the rat are
both
dead now. The genius is alive, now back in trouble of a different kind,
but
out of that particular business which made him cool to many that revere
Scarface
nowadays. Someone should portray the expert in a biopic one day. And
someone
else should portray the genius as well. Someone who isn't a 21st
century

The Dancing Boy: For the twenty years (this past January) since the
overdose,
I've suffered from nightly insomnia (which is a shame since coming up I
was
a talented sleeper). Lately I've been waking up around 4 or 5am,
wanting
to tell things. Here is one, a thing of things. You see: I share
something
in common with the subject, at least, of a recent very popular blind.
No,
I don't mean that we grew up in the same place, although we did. This
person
revealed this thing, and really I should say other thing, about a
half-decade
ago, I think. The reason you don't want to is what happened next. The
sibling,
who in kid times I once counted as a friend, reacted that way. Even
more
sadly, that most important of older women did too. And then what
happened
next, which won't, I hope, be happening now. In a grim coincidence, I
grew
up on the same block as a woman - then nearing old age - whose
fictional
likeness was already one of the more famous grand-daughter characters
(of
course, and sadly, that's not all she was). I like to refer to the
writer
of this one - one of the best of all time - who deserved the award for
it.
And much as in this other person's case, the two additional types of
conduct
toward me were also present, and persistent. In one case, when I was
eight,
the door was flung open on a Sunday morning - refer to the original
blind
for my state of dress - and I was thrown across the room and against
the

A Reader Blind: Hello fellow readers! Don’t bother to guess who I am,
as I’ve primarily lurked throughout the years I’ve been reading
this blog. I’d like to share a celebrity encounter from my youth that
was the first of many celebrity encounters, but was definitely the most
memorable. My mother, as a single parent, did fairly well for herself
and
as such, I was able to travel to many places as a child. Most times, we
drove,
but this particular trip was only my second time flying out of the
country.
She was able to again allow me to join her and a fellow coworker to
spend
a week visiting a beautiful tropical country. We stayed in a pretty
fancy
hotel down the road from the Sandals that our tour guide assured us
celebrities
like Eddie Murphy would visit on their vacations. Even though this
hotel
was some distance down the road from the Sandals, we still shared the
same
beautiful blue-watered sandy beach as them, so I crossed my fingers on
meeting
any. Early in our stay – I believe the first or second full day, my
mother & I started to head toward the beach. I should probably
describe
this a bit. The hotel was on a steep hill next to the beach and there
were
stairs leading down to said beach. And halfway between the beach and
the
hotel on this steep hill was one of those outdoor bars that so pretty
common
in tropical countries like this one. So my mother and I are exploring
the
hotel on a beautiful clear day and decide to check out the beach. As
such
, to get to the beach , we have to pass this bar. And since it was her
first
time in this country as well, she decided we should check out this bar.
So
we’re sitting in this bar and enjoying the view of the water and beach.
Since my chair is facing the stairs, I’m in a prime position to see
anyone who passes by, and this spot does not disappoint. Within about
10-15min
of us taking our seats, in walks this at the time A/A- list comedic
mostly
movie actor. Right now, in 2018, I doubt anyone would remember this
guy,
but at that particular time, he was on top of the world and it’s
doubtful
there would have been an American kid (or kid from this particular
country)
who wouldn’t recognize him. And the bulk of his fame came from his
breakout
role in a major Disney film partially set in the country that many
people
still remember today. In fact, it was heavily referenced at that major
event
earlier this year. The star of the film was clearly meant to be an
actor
that didn’t really seem to get very far. In fact this actor, who I’ll
call, "T," has probably worked through the years, but would only truly
be
remembered for this particular film and another B film that also
starred
this D-list, but probably permanent B/C-list in his own demographic,
mostly
movie actor/director/producer. Also in this film was a C/D-list mostly
tv
actor, "A," who despite still resurfacing on television every few
years,
is probably most remembered for co-starring on a network tv series that
came
a few years after this film, and legendary comic/actor, "M," who while
great,
was still outshone by the breakout actor that I’ll now call, "H." Back
to the story. Me, being a kid, immediately went wide-eyed and asked my
mom
if I was indeed seeing H. My mother, however, has never shared my
enthusiasm
for the entertainment industry, so she wasn’t sure (despite having seen
the film with me the year prior). I slowly approached H and asked if
that’s
who he was, and he confirmed that he was. I started gushing to him how
much
I loved his role in the major film as well as the film itself. He ended
up
chatting with my mom & I for about an hour or so and then said he
had
to leave. Before he did, he agreed to take a picture with me. I still
have
that picture somewhere in my belongings. That evening, the hotel had
one
of its nightly parties that offered the chance to play icebreaker
games.
During this, the announcer gleefully announced that H (who seemed to be
seen
as something as a national figure for being in the film) was in the
house.
As soon as he said this you could see a figure jump up and sprint into
the
night. And I thought that was that. He was gone and I’d never see him
again. The next morning, my mom and I went to enjoy the breakfast
buffet
in the courtyard, when who should I see already dining, but H. I asked
him
if I could join him for breakfast and he permitted. We again had a nice
chat
for some time that morning before he once more stated he had to go. I
thanked
him for his time and he left. That was that last time I saw him in
person.
He was in a few more Disney movies and sort of faded after that. The
last
thing I remember him in was that forgotten network series from the
now-disgraced
entertainer, and even though I forgot the details of what exactly
happened,
I never forgot that experience of an international star taking the time
to
talk to a 9 or 10yr old fan not once, but twice.

A Reader Blind Item: A few years ago, I was working on a movie, a low
budget
horror movie. don't bother looking it up -- it never finished filming,
let
alone got released, and any reference to it has been scrubbed away. My
friends
were making it, and I was there just to help, P.A.-ing and stuff like
that.
Unfortunately, my friend, the lead actor/producer (don't bother looking
him
up; he's not famous) got a huge ego and started taking control of the
project,
abusing two of the actresses (two C-list scream queens who work
consistently
on direct to VOD type stuff; one has actually directed three of her own
films
so far) with the help of another actress, ex-Playboy model (not
centerfold
or cover) turned C list scream queen. None of these people are really
famous.
The one person who was, however, was a B movie legend we had for two
days.
This legend, who we will call, DR, began his career in earnest three
decades
ago. He got a couple parts in sequels to horror franchises from back in
the
day, with two different characters that had similar deformities. He
disappeared
into a bit player wilderness for a while before being rediscovered by a
A-/B+
list director who was briefly A- list in another type of entertainment.
The
director cast him in another franchise, the one that made him the B
movie
legend he is today. DR worked a couple times with the director before
calling
it quits, and he told us why. Now DR is genuinely nice guy -- a
complete
gentleman. He told us why he stopped working with the director and why
it
took so long for the director to make another film in the franchise
that
made his name. The director was an abusive jerk. Manipulation, verbal
abuse,
bullying -- you name it, he did it to almost anyone within earshot. The
director
pushed away everyone except his wife and FX man. He was one of the
biggest,
meanest jerks DR said he met. Maybe the director has calmed down, or
maybe
DR is smart to not let a good money thing go, but he's reunited with
the
director for a new film. Hopefully, the director has gotten better. But
if
you ever watch whatever the director made, or consume his prior
artistic
output, do so knowing he was probably an abusive a******e to whomever
he
was collaborating with at the time of making it.

Yes, I have written about them several times. Apparently the wife

producers
of the show and threw the best friend under the bus in order to try and
land
the gig. She was unsuccessful and burned any and all remaining bridges
to
that show. Oh, and wholly unrelated to the wife or best friend, the
producers
of the show fired all the interns two weeks earlier than they were
supposed
to because one of the interns was leaking to a tabloid. Not the intern
who
gave up all this though. Now, as for the husband? Apparently he

and his voluminous porn collection. I wrote this story about being a
barely
legal hustler in San Francisco called "the Tenderloin's Edge." It
wasn't
very good (largely because it wanted to be told for what it was - a
true
rather than fictional story). But she was the only person in the class
who
got what I was trying to do, and asked me questions about the
experience
behind it afterward. That's how we got to know each other. It's funny
because
she was practically a magician when it came to making people feel
comfortable

PART
ONE
I got this phone call just this year. It went like this. She said:
"Jeez
what balls on these guys. These pricks have the gall to ask me to
endorse
their half-assed remake plans. Worse, they want me to get YOU to come
advise
on it. Can you imagine that?" I replied: "Yes, I can. Nothing they do
shocks
me. Tell them to give us and Cissy, all three of us - script approval
and
final cut. Hell, tell them we'll buy them out NOT to make it.", I said.
That
was what I told her. Right before the overwhelming tidal flood of
memories
began to pull me down. I had to call her back, and four hours later
we'd
relived the entire ordeal again. In tears, in laughs…together again.
The HER in this case? A dynamic woman whom I once dated, and is my best
friend's
sister. We'll call her "Nin", which is her nickname. She's a C list
actress/celebrity offspring, who was mostly in a few
direct-to-video/cable-style
action movies and has also been a businesswoman. She's the daughter of
a
former permanent A++list (action) mostly movie actor. She's also the
sister
of a former A-list (action) mostly movie actor too. We will call him
"Buddy"
and he's not just her brother; but also my best friend/buddy for over
20
years. Our families were always very close. She and I have known each
other
since childhood, and we even dated in the early 90's. She called me on
this
day to fume and spit nails about an idiotic studio that wants to remake
a
legendary iconic movie (which is very personal for us both). Worse,
they
want us and others to endorse it. No chance in hell. The Cissy person
to
whom we referred was a former development executive back in the day,
who
worked for this foreign born, former A-list action director (who is
still
trying to get back up the ladder). Since I had a lot of business with
that
director, I knew Cissy well, and introduced her to set up Buddy on a
date.
They wound up engaged later. She and Nin became like sisters, and Nin
called
her Cissy (like "Sissy" but with odd spelling and all). She was a
beautiful,
brilliant, and tough young lady bound for big-shot future success as a
producer
in Hollywood. Back then, many nights were spent hanging out, drinking,
or
sneaking into $1 midnight movies. Carefree and careless. We were pals
and
delinquent products of "showbiz" childhoods (from our parents - not
us).
Just basically American kids rolling headlong into the bright big
future
where the world was our oyster. All we cared about? Music, movies, fun,
convertible tops down, and more extra butter on our popcorn. Pretty
please.
Buddy was my best friend, like my big brother, and my partner in crime
going
back to our childhoods in the 70s and 80s. He was a few years older
than
me, but it never mattered. When you're a kid even a few years age
difference
can be a huge canyon. For us? Never. We were like twins. We used to
watch
movies and shows when we were growing up – imitating what we saw. Dukes
of Hazzard, Stripes, SWAT, A-Team, and the original Batman. Our
favorite
movie of all times? The Cannonball Run. Of course. We loved pro
wrestling.
We would beat…the…hell, out of each other. Like boys do. Like brothers
do, playing ball in the yard. His mom always spanked our butts harder
than
my mom. So we spent a lot of time at MY parents place getting into
trouble.
We'd ALWAYS get caught, but Buddy would win Mom over with that little
glint
in his eyes and his charming little-boy grin. Our saying was always:
"stranger
things have happened". Every time our Moms would yell at us, or
threaten
us with grounding for life or shipping us to military school – we'd
say in unison: "stranger things have happened". Then we'd run. We
learned
to be fast.
PART
TWO
We were inseparable every Summer, like a bad dream coming back –
we'd terrorize our snotty neighbors. From bottle rockets and potato
guns,
to water balloons dropped off the fire escapes on studio lots – we were
pirates and soldiers. Sneaking into windows at night, playing cops and
robbers.
Sneaking cigarettes or sips of beer. We were like those boys in The
Sandlot;
or Goonies; or the two boys in Big. Like family. His Dad was gone, so
my
Dad was like a Dad to us both. It was great. As we got older, we'd go
to
concerts, out on double dates, and dream our teenage plans together.
We'd
play ball and drag race. Bullies stood no chance, and he saved my butt
many
times. Bullies might make a crack at me, and Buddy would fly in to
defend
and protect me. In exchange? I'd take him backstage to concerts, on
studio
sets, and to meet stars. I'd do his book reports and he'd teach me how
to
talk to girls. I idolized him like a big brother – and he'd always ask
me to explain things to him that he didn't understand. We were
inseparable
and every school break was a new adventure for us. We made plans as we
got
older, to grow up and go into business together. He was super smart and
wanted
to be a huge superstar. We planned to start our own studio, and we both
loved
video games and computers. I taught him how to use my state-of-the-art
Tandy
1000. (Don't judge, it was hot back then!). The only thing greater was
our
love of comics. When I took Buddy to England and we met Alan Moore –
we could see the future. But there was always a third wheel; an extra
element
to our brotherhood. He had this pesky kid sister always tagging along.
She
and I were almost the same age, but she was kind of a quiet, shy, nerdy
girl.
I was always old/mature for my age as a kid. The product of growing up
at
studios, locations, concerts, and offices. She was very sensitive and
sweet,
and always wanted Buddy's approval. They called her Nin. Buddy always
was
hitting on MY big sister, and he knew their flirting drove me mad. So I
used
to pretend that his little sister was going to be my wife someday just
to
anger him. One day when we were kids, she came strutting into the den
in
dress-up play clothes dressed like a little bride. I pretended to be a
groom.
She had flowers and asked if I would be HER wife?? After the laughter
explosions,
I kissed her chubby sweet little cheeks and told her "I DO". She yelled
"YIPEEE!"
and danced around in her mom's oversize clunky heels. When their mom
ran
in – Nin told her, and their mom laughed too. She snapped a Kodak photo
of us in our pretend wedding clothes; said it was fine with her, though
we'd
have to wait at least 10 more years. Buddy stopped laughing. "Stranger
things
have happened", I said. He gut punched me, I burped in his face, and we
began
wrestling again. And so it went, year after year for two best buddies.
A
few years passed, and shy Nin started to grow out of her shell, and her
cute
baby fat stage, into a beautiful, brilliant young woman tougher than
any
boy. I also noticed a beautiful artistic soul growing in her. When I
found
out she was stood up from her school dance (probably because Buddy
threatened
the boy); I waited until Buddy was asleep on the sofa, and I went to
her
room and wiped her tears. I convinced her that the idiot boy must've
had
diarrhea or something, and crapped his pants. It's the ONLY explanation
for
not showing. She giggled through her tears at my stupidity – but it
was working. I told her I had an idea. She missed her dance? I'd give
it
back to her. She still had her makeup on and hair looking so pretty, so
why
waste it? She didn't believe me when I told her how pretty she was.
Everybody
else was asleep, so we snuck out her window onto the roof. I took her
little
boom box radio and put in a mix-tape I'd given to her earlier of pop
songs.
I turned it on softly at her window, we turned off the lights, and with
a
blanket we crawled onto the shingles to re-create her school dance. I
told
her I'd be honored to be her date, if she'd have me - and as "Time
After
Time" by Cindy Lauper played, I sang to her as we danced, just like a
real
dance. She sobbed into my shoulder – as we tenderly swayed with each
other. I wiped her cheeks and she smiled. I saw the warmth in those
big,
dark eyes. She held me tight and I kissed her for the first time –
which
turned out to be the first real kiss for both of us. Something so
gentle,
so peaceful and true in that dance of ours. With Van Morrison's "Into
The
Mystic", our dancing slowed more. We lay on the shingles – side by side
- talking and holding each other like it was what we'd meant to do
forever.
Possibly…it was. Like neither of us wanted to let go or that moment
would slip away from us. Such a precious, innocent, yet passionate
moment
of teenage truth there between us. Still innocent and sweet. I told her
I'd
always be hers anytime; she said she felt "safe and not alone anymore".
She
fell asleep laying her head on my chest – her last words were telling
me she loved the sound of "feeling my heart" in her ears to the music.
I
looked up at the stars that gentle Spring night, knowing we were not
alone.
I gave a wink upwards to a certain star, and The Cars song "Drive"
softly
serenaded us to sleep under that canopy. I've rarely known a more pure,
honest,
and peaceful moment than that. Years later she told me it was better
than
any school dance and she'd had a crush on me since we were little kids.
I
shared her feelings. It was almost awkward, as she was almost like a
sister
to me. She was the sister of my best friend – which is dangerous,
especially
when he can beat your ass. Then again? She could beat mine and his
asses
together by her 17th birthday, so there's that. She dated boys on and
off,
but every time we'd see each other we'd both feel something. But we
both
knew not to act on it. We'd whisper lyrics to "Into The Mystic" to each
other,
winking and laughing – to the confusion of others. Our secret dance
– our perfect kiss. We were patient. She dated others; as did I. But
some things you cannot deny or hide.
PART
THREE
Around that time Buddy let some of his wild streak take over, and we
both
got in trouble for "borrowing" an un-used hearse and cruising Hollywood
one
night. He ended up sent off to school in Boston, then New York. By my
college
years, Buddy was supposed to come with me to England again for a big
concert.
But his acting career had started to take shape and landed a role in a
television
movie. After getting his butt in trouble for his partying and slacking,
he'd
gotten more into physical training. He also turned to acting seriously,
supported
by his mom and MY parents as well. My Dad got him his first agent and
helped
set up a multi-film studio pact. But all his acting, and my summer job
working
at a family production company – meant we couldn't team up yet. We
talked
every few days, and were looking for a new project we could do
together.
Something I could cut my teeth on in Producing-Directing-
Writing; and he could star in. I had discovered a very dark,
underground
comic through an old pal of mine who was an art school kid back east. I
loved
this dark comic, and went to a friend of mine to help me find the
author.
Barely out of my teens I wound up the proud owner of the movie rights,
which
I partnered with a producer and sold to an indie film outfit. Oddly,
they
could not get a single director to attach to this movie. I resisted
calling
in favors or getting family involved. I stubbornly wanted to make it on
my
own. Finally, I suggested a guy who had been directing music
videos/commercials
at a company my family co-owned where I was working. This former A
list,
mostly movie director, (who today is trying to make a comeback after a
big
absence) was a genius and saw the potential right away. He was THE
Director
we wanted; and allowed my friend to audition. What we had was a nice,
little,
indie film. I had sold all my interests in it but stuck around and
helped
do script punch-ups and dialogue doctoring for the screenplay. I was
sort
of an all-purpose Executive Producer for everything. The day Buddy got
the
call that he'd won the part, he called Nin at her Southern college to
tell
her. Afterwards, I snuck upstairs to call her back. She was auditioning
for
small movies herself, and I was helping her on the sly. I begged her to
fly
out for the week, but always the smart one – she stayed at school to
work and study her scripts (or her part-time off-again college
boyfriend).
So that left Buddy and I to throw a celebration to blow out all the
stops.
We invited EVERYBODY, and they all showed up. My parents' house looked
like
Jake's house after that party scene in Sixteen Candles. Pizza on the
turntable,
foam oozing from the vents. When Dad came home early from his golfing
trip,
he lovingly pulled me by my hair - from beneath a blanket made of empty
beer
cans laying on top of me on the couch. Buddy raised up from beneath the
coffee
table – smiling big, with bloodshot eyes. Dad said: "Whatever it was
I hope it was worth you two now having to join the Army since I'm
kicking
you BOTH out." Buddy and I looked at each other a brief, solemn second.
Then,
as if on cue, we BOTH said – deadpan: "Stranger things have happened".
Then with that same charisma, and a glint in his eye; he gave a big
shit-eating
grin. Ferris Bueller couldn't have done it better. Dad was so pissed
off
- but with gallows humor, could not help but laugh. We promised to
clean
up and repair everything – which we did. But I don't doubt that if
Buddy's
charismatic charm had not saved the day? I'd now have the most
illustrious
career as a latrine-cleaner in the history of the Army's Alaskan
Command.
After the partying was done, we went full-on into making our way as
young
bucks on this movie. It takes a LONG time to get a movie project from
development
to production. We stayed at it day and night. Buddy made some smaller
movies,
and I worked other projects; but we always kept this one chugging
ahead.
The team, especially the director, really pulled in an amazing group of
the
most incredible talent who'd not yet broken out to the big time. After
work
on the script, I focused on the soundtrack. Working with the director,
and
Buddy too – we all wanted an epic soundtrack of rock songs to match
the powerful visuals. I immediately went to London, and recruited this
foreign-born, former A list singer of a very dark rock band. When you
get
a legendary "Goth-father" to agree to do original tracks for this type
of
film? You're holding magic. I told that musician the dark comic was
inspired
by his music, and music of groups like Joy Division. He loved the
comic,
and he and I worked tirelessly to build the music whenever he was sober
enough.
I helped write the words for the song, and came up with a haunting
backing
piano track. He took it to a perfectly new level. Buddy was working his
ass
off training and practicing his lines. We'd run lines on the phone at
4am
London time – though he never knew his sister was beside me in bed
instead
of at college in New Orleans. She was on college break and, well…love
makes you do stupidly dangerous stuff. She was getting her own roles
now
in small movies, and I was so proud of her. I knew she could be an epic
female
action star on her own. But Buddy began having doubts about his own
abilities
on the film. I was getting calls from Cissy, who was by now his fiance,
asking
me to please return home to L.A. to help him. She was very worried and
we
were still only in pre-production. She said he felt so pressured to
make
a huge hit – that he was heading for a breakdown. After Nin snuck back
to school in New Orleans, I caught the first plane home.
PART
FOUR
Home was Los Angeles, and the studio sound stages the production was
going
to shoot on were a nightmare. It was all too sunny and distracting.
Nothing
was working, the vibe of the original dark comic was gone. It was like
"Gidget
goes Mall Goth", and was all wrong. That night, hungover and jetlagged,
I
met Buddy and we went to the Director's house – then we three drove
to the Producer's house. After hours of debating and discussing, we had
two
choices: put it into turnaround and he'd sell it to recoup expenses; or
find
another studio lot to shoot on. But where could we at this late date?
And
within our micro-budget? A few short calls later, we had another
studio.
In another state. If there was one thing that this new place could be -
it
was going to be dark and depressing – for me anyway. Because as a
child,
it was the last time and place I'd spent time with a legend, playing on
the
beach with this deceased permanent A+ actress when I was only a child.
She
was the sweetest, most beautiful woman I'd ever known. Nothing like the
memory
of a dead Icon you loved to darken your mood. When I told Buddy about
my
childhood story, he wept. Then he reminded me that our movie was about
overcoming
those tragic memories. Of rebirth, after death. Those were his exact
words
to me that night. "Don't you see man?? This is the UNIVERSE talking to
US??
Just US! It's perfect! We can burn all that darkness away and make it
rise
from the DEAD like the story does!". His exact words that night, with
his
emphatic smile. Even today, all this time later…it makes the hairs on
my arms stand up. The studios in Wilmington, North Carolina were a
rebuilt
warehouse folly built by Dino DeLaurentiis in a dream to have his own
kingdom.
He chose that location due to a relative of mine who hailed from that
state,
who relocated to Italy and became close to Dino. When my relative
brought
Dino to the coast of NC to scout and vacation, he fell in love. But
Dino
the skinflint skimped on everything, and the studio had nearly fallen
down
around itself in those days. Carolco Pictures was the main tenant, with
all
their big 80s action films trying to shoot on the cheap. The upshot?
They
gave a twenty-something first-time volunteer producer the keys and said
to
pay them when we could. Pretty good deal for an entire studio lot,
facilities,
and a cooperative city government. I was so proud of myself – the
hubris
of youth. I had pulled off a coup, and without using my family to do it
for
me. When my Dad found out he was impressed, and inflated my ego even
more.
I'd never felt stronger, or prouder of myself. Unfortunately, a very
sad
family situation occurred for me just before Christmas. It was huge,
and
really put a dark cloud over everything in my life. They say bad things
–
bad luck – and even tragedies, come in threes. I never believed it
until
I realized the truth in that old superstition much later. But by New
Years
it was only a bump in the road for me. The Production Designer and Art
Department
had already built a lot of parts of the sets in California; so I paid
to
have those shipped to Wilmington. We were using real, practical effects
and
stunts in those days. One of the stuntmen was a good friend of Buddy,
who
trained at the same fighting school. They even looked alike from a
distance.
With an amazing crew from California mixed with awesome local NC crew –
an entire world was created very rapidly. In just one month – I flew
from Raleigh NC airport to London Heathrow four different times to keep
working
on the soundtrack. I had to make quick flights to L.A. to deal with my
family
drama, and lawyers in New York. But I had an amazing Music Supervisor
and
faith they would nail it. It would be epic for our audience, for MTV –
which were people our own age. Running back and forth was killing me,
and
coupled with my family situation; zipping between California, New York,
London,
and Carolina… I was about to have a breakdown. Thankfully, Nin kept
me going. Always reminding me in her optimistic way that our sunrise
was
right around the corner. Our paradise was ours – just hold on and make
it through. The call came at 9pm one March night: "Please get your ass
back
down here". It was Buddy. He said things were falling apart and we
weren't
far from wrapping principal photography. Due to our low budget and
dragging
schedule, some of the more veteran crew had to depart for bigger paying
gigs
elsewhere. Certain other crew were drinking and doing drugs, and too
much
partying with nearby college girls. A lot of young ladies showing up
for
"day work" promised the night before by gaffers, gofers, and grifters.
The
Director was getting hell from the producers who had a deadline for a
sales
festival to pre-sell foreign territory rights for the picture. Thus,
the
producers were reluctant to crack a whip on some crew members for fear
of
them walking off so close to the end. I jacked a ride on a private jet
and
flew straight down there. I was met by Cissy at the airport, who was
heading
out for a quick trip – and she was in tears. She told me everything,
and that it was falling apart with the finish line in sight. We only
had
a week or two left to shoot and then wrap post production. I promised
her
that I would not let this movie fail. I would not let my best friend
end
up in a flop in his big breakout movie. She smiled, hugged me, and said
she'd
be back tomorrow but only now could she leave without regret. "I know
it'll
all be fine, since you're here – you're the only one he can count on
to save him", she said. I promised her I would. It was the most
horrific
promise I'd ever unintentionally break in my life.
PART
FIVE
Buddy was about to come unglued. Many in crew and cast were in
disarray.
I got with the Director and the Unit Production Manager and heard them
vent,
rail, explode, and rage. Even the craft services and boom operator were
about
to walk out. They all vented spleens at me. The two Producers on a
conference
call with us went apeshit. They said if I wanted to open some
checkbooks,
(call in my "Step-Daddy" they mockingly said) – or do a negative pickup
outright? They'd be happy to. But they then revealed a secret which
changed
everything – and would have unforeseen consequences for us all. The
producers said that the film was already behind schedule, and they'd
leveraged
it to the max. They had already signed contracts with distributors; and
like
a shell game they were bluffing to buy more time. They could only afford
to shoot one more week – but had TWO more weeks worth of shots to get!
HOLY HELL. The only hope they had was selling it to a single big
distributor
– like Paramount, and blow out these multiple smaller contracts. These
were veterans who were scared, and would be ruined if distributors
backed
out or we missed the film market deadline. The older producer said I'd
earned
a rep as a whiz kid who could "out-think" problems and make things
happen.
I took the challenge; bearing in mind that sink or swim I'd still not
benefit
from the movie. But my buddy and our plans were on the line – and I'd
NEVER let him down. That night, Buddy and I did what any professional
would
do in a crisis. We got very drunk. We grabbed some rum and went out to
Wrightsville Beach, NC. We sat there at 3am drinking, smoking, and
talking
as we dared the sun to come up. Trying to brainstorm our way out of
this
problem others had put us in. A little over a week left to shoot with
two
weeks worth of shots to do. Our dreams were about to tank. So we drank.
We
staggered to a darkened, small pier; and made our way down the beach
near
a motel called Breakers (or Sands or something beachy). We sat in the
sand,
talking about tasting success so close while so young. He broke his
allegedly
monk-like diet and we indulged in cheeseburgers and Marlboro Lights. We
talked
about his wedding plans…and possibly my own. He said he knew I'd been
with Nin. Their Mom ratted us out. Buddy said I should help Nin with
her
blossoming acting career, and protect her since he was too busy. He
said
he trusted me but told me (with a laugh) that I'd have to marry her –
make an honest woman of her. I told him: "Stranger things have
happened".
He slapped me. What neither of us knew at that time – was that his kid
sister, my secret girlfriend whom I dearly loved – had our love growing
inside of her at that exact moment. She'd not told me yet, wanting to
wait
until the upcoming wedding/birthday trip we had in a couple of weeks.
Buddy
and I sat on the dark beach and laughed, cursed, cried, yelled at the
moon,
and even nearly drowned in the waves. We both felt better, and got a
ride
back to his place. Just in time to shower, clean up, and make it to the
big
production meeting that morning. I think I had an idea how to save this
movie
the same way he and I always lived life: to "turn it up to 11".
PART
SIX
I managed to impress upon the Director and department heads that we
were
at the edge of greatness. Rally the troops. We had to instill in the
entire
team a sense of pride – that we were ALL going to make history, and
a film they can build their careers on. ANYTHING it took. We HAD to
make
them SACRIFICE and be willing to spill blood, sweat and tears. If we
have
to shoot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in multiple shifts – we will.
The Director assembled everyone, and announced that no more off-duty
antics.
He mentioned Oscars, and sequels. Loyalty and sacrifice. He repeated
word
for word all I told him, and they were starting to get the spirit. He
showed
everyone the rough footage and shots. All put to the music I'd brought
back
from London, like a long-form music video. I looked around the room and
saw
people with tears in their eyes, shocked at the genius they saw on
screen.
Hardly believing what they'd been doing on this little picture was so
amazing.
Afterwards, the entire cast and crew agreed to give it everything they
had.
They'd work day into night. No more partying. Everyone agreed to give
everything
they had to get it done. Buddy hugged me and said: "YOU did it MAN!
WOW!
They feel it now. See? It's the universe leading us again to something
BIGGER
than ourselves!", and he erupted with his raucous laugh. I looked at
him
with sharp eyes, and he got serious. Right then we both said, together:
"Stranger
things have HAPPENED!" and both burst out laughing again. Just like
little
kids once more. One guy on the crew was a very close friend of Buddy,
and
to me. He was a rock for Buddy, and was a stuntman, double, and amateur
therapist. He eventually became an A list Director in his own right
many
years after this film, but back then was just a crew guy trying his
best.
I told him that no matter what – do NOT let Buddy get an injury. Double
and triple check every rigging, every harness, every line. Then check
them
again. A single injury could delay us even a week and derail the entire
movie.
This guy loved Buddy like a brother too. When you're running crews with
huge
stunt shots and flaming sets on double shifts? Exhausted and
cross-eyed?
Things easily get overlooked. The only thing worse than a drunk crew is
an
exhausted crew. Buddy and I hugged goodbye as I headed to the car. It
was
a beautiful early Spring day on the coast of North Carolina, that
Tuesday
March 30th. Shooting would resume tonight, after a long day's worth of
stunt
shots; but I had to zip back to New York for meetings tomorrow. With a
little
over a week left in Principal Photography, we'd get a month of post
production.
I knew that I could get friends at Paramount to swallow our movie as a
big
MTV-targeted action film. Perfect plan. Buddy blessed it too, and told
me
to bring Nin to the set with Cissy, when I return. "May as well get you
two
out in the open, you little punk. But at least we can pair you two up
in
OUR wedding now." We both laughed exhausted laughs. Since Nin and I
were
Maid of Honor and Best Man for their planned wedding, it was great. We
were
all going to Mexico in two weeks for the ceremony. The wedding was two
days
from Nin's birthday. Since it was planned after the film's big wrap?
It'll
be total timely ecstasy – a perfect kickoff to all our perfect lives
all intersecting at the exact same time. NOTHING could stop us, after
all,
even the universe itself was on our side. I wish I didn't know now…what
I didn't know then.
PART
SEVEN
WEDNESDAY MARCH 31st. Just after midnight of a new day. I was coming
off
the late flight at Kennedy Airport in New York, half asleep and lost in
thought.
An out-of-breath man in a suit and a sweaty uniformed cop were on the
jetway.
They asked for me by name. They showed badges, and told me to follow.
They'd
run straight through the terminal to meet my plane. I was confused –
thinking someone planted drugs in my bag or something. They ushered me
down
the ramp and down to a private office. The detective said: "I'm sorry
to
have to tell you this Son…there's been a shooting. In North Carolina,
on a movie set – an actor, your friend, was shot." HUH?? WAIT - WHAT??
This is some mistake fellas. Or maybe a crew member was hurt, but not
Buddy.
I started thinking some insane fan had run onto the set shooting
people.
Or a jealous lover or someone in the crew. What do you mean? Then he
told
me again – slowly. I sat down. He said the details were scarce –
it had happened while I was airborne, just now – but during a scene
something happened on set, and shot Buddy by accident. The cop didn't
know
anything more, if the gun had been replaced with a real one, or what.
Just
that Buddy was rushed to the hospital down there, even as we were now
speaking.
I didn't breathe for a full minute. I just couldn't comprehend it. I
called
Nin. I called Cissy. I called their Mom. All busy lines, the only
cellular
brick phone was in the production office of the UPM. No answer. I
called
my family, who already were on it and were getting details straight
from
the hospital now on another line. I called everyone on set and in
production,
and finally got some answers. They were all in a state of shock. I
spoke
to the Director on the phone while I sat there in the customs office at
JFK.
He'd contacted my family, who contacted NYPD. He said I needed to be
there
right now. He said Nin knew, and was trying to get flights for her Mom
and
herself there. I'd take care of that for them, begging and bribing pals
in
the business for their private jets. I had relatives already on the way
to
meet me at JFK, and within minutes they had a jet ready for me and my
same
suitcase in my hand. Within an hour of the shooting, I was back en
route
to North Carolina – to a local airport there. What followed next was
all like a blur of an acid fever dream; a nightmare; a carny ride from
hell.
Late that night/early morning, I got to the hospital and a nurse
scrubbed
and dressed me like a doctor. Buddy was still technically alive as he
was
in between surgeries in an ICU recovery unit. I could not really accept
it
in my mind. I stood frozen in the doorway…staring. Stunned. I couldn't
hear the words coming from the doctor's mouth. Lips moved, I heard
nothing.
Buddy looked like he was playing a prank on me – ready to wake up. I
couldn't comprehend it. Tubes, wires, machines everywhere. I was in
total
shock, holding his hand – staring at tubes pumping blood out of his
abdomen. Seeing him alive, but not alive. So much blood. It was
everywhere,
but I just stared hypnotized as the blood pumped through that clear
tube.
Like I was seeing my brother's life pumped out of him somehow. His hand
was
so cold and limp. I squeezed it, talking to him – hoping he could hear
something. Anything. Everything. The tubes pumped, the hoses blew air,
and
the monitors beeped. This couldn't be my brother; my hero…my best
friend.
Our entire lives flashed through my mind. I felt so lifeless, so
helpless
there. I couldn't protect my friend who protected me so many times. I
was
powerless to help him and wanted to do something – to call someone,
solve the problem, fix the crisis. But I could not. All I could do was
cry
and tell him: "I am so sorry. I am so sorry…so sorry." Every word that
came out of my mouth was in a cry, and like a dam suddenly exploding -
the
tears would not stop. I begged him not to leave me – not to leave us.
Please. We had to have you to make everything right. I told him –
begged
him – that I would make it all right again. Just please give me one
more chance? We still had so much we had to do. I told him I LOVED Nin,
and
that I WILL marry her. And that Cissy was going to have their beautiful
babies
someday. That we'd all live next door to each other, and we'd have
cook-outs
and go to our kids' ballgames. Our kids would grow up together just
like
we did – wrestling, playing music, dropping water balloons on us. "You
CAN'T GO!" I yelled, cried, and begged. "God, please…just stay –
just don't leave me. We were gonna take over and make the business our
way.
Make new movies. New music, and do it ourselves. We were going to take
over
the world. Together...PLEASE don't…I'm sorry I let you down…I need
you. We need you. Please don't leave me alone…" It was the last thing
I got to say to him - my best friend – my brother. The last thing that
I got to say while his heart was still beating in that bed. The ICU
Nurses
and Doctors came in to take him out of that ICU/recovery room to try
another
operation. Then another. Five more hours in and out of it. They were
some
of the best, most relentless, heroic medical pros on earth. They kept
trying
everything they could to save him. They never gave up on my friend.
They
fought harder than anyone could've asked. I was sitting there, in that
cold
empty room, alone. Just after mid-day. I had just given my blood a
second
time (as a perfect/clean donor); and was staring at the red on my
cotton
swab. My blood. His blood. Staring at the blood. Staring silently into
space.
I heard her calling my name. It was Cissy. Her eyes so swollen,
tear-streaked
red down her face. Like she'd been tortured. Dressed in her scrubs
gown,
she couldn't speak – just her mouth open and closing. I just grabbed
and hugged her and we collapsed. On that couch, holding each other as
if
the world was sucking us away in a tidal wave. We shook and cried, and
she
kept beating hysterically on me yelling in rage. Buddy had fought –
as he always did – and given it everything he could. The bullet had
cut his spinal cord, after penetrating through the stomach into his
back.
All from one single ten-foot shot. He fought like the warrior he was.
He
fought like I begged him to. But in the end, it was too big for even
him
to overcome. After six hours of surgeries, liters and liters of blood
transfusions – Cissy told me: he was now gone forever. Gone…forever.
Forever.
PART
EIGHT
I saw the clock - it was just past 1pm that Wednesday afternoon.
He'd
slipped away gently…quietly. With almost a smile of peace on his face.
With my own blood pumping through his heart. My blood pumping through
his
veins, beating those last beats of life through his body…was my own
blood mixed with his. Brothers…til the very end. All I could say to
Cissy, over and over was: "I let you down…I wasn't there." She never
felt that towards me, but it was how I felt. Like, If I'd stayed there
to
see to every detail. If I'd not supported pushing the team so hard. If
I'd
offered to get investors to buy it and go slower. I would have given
every
fucking worthless dollar my family and friends and companies ever had,
just
to have him back. If I'd just swallowed my pride and asked my people
for
the money to buy the film outright, to buy us more time to shoot
slower.
Not to push it to "eleven" like some cocky kid. Then maybe he'd still
be
here. If I'd never brought the film to this studio…to this state. Now
he was gone, just like I'd last played with that legendary iconic
actress
on those same sands in my childhood; those same beaches…now I'd lost
Buddy too. It was my fault, somehow. I was cursed. It had to be. I
couldn't
shake the guilt…that heavy weight…that all I'd done had led up
to this. I spent that tragic night with a shocked, inconsolable Nin. We
holed
up away from the world in a place on the beach. Sealed off in shock and
hurt.
Anger. Guilt. Fear and burden. Even losing my own family member months
before
hadn't hurt like this. Replaying every single word, each second of our
lives
together. Nin stared for hours at the darkness and the moon out across
the
balcony. The winds blowing us, holding and rocking each other like
babies.
Hearing the waves, seeing the moon glow off the water. Up until that
moment
I'd never in my life considered suicide as an alternative to anything.
But
then – and there, I knew how low a human could go. I knew how deep the
hurt could reach into your breath and choke the life from you. All I
could
rationally think was that he was gone, and I wanted to be with him. Nin
knew
it too. I didn't want to be left alone to endure this life without him.
Neither
of us did. We held each other tighter – as if we were afraid the other
would slip away if we let go. We very well might have slipped away had
we
let go. We gripped each other until we passed out, holding and rocking
each
other on that balcony all night. We woke sometime the next day on that
balcony,
covered in the other's tears. No more wedding; no more birthday party.
No
more plans or futures for all of us together. It was too much to feel
at
once. Another entire day and night, we never left that place except to
go
to the ocean and back. We yelled. We cried like inconsolable children.
We
loved and hated, and embraced. We raged and screamed – until we had
no tears left in either one of us. Our voices gone hoarse; our eyes
sunken
hollow. We loved and we hurt. We tried to bury our hurt beneath our
love.
It would be the last time we'd hold each other like that. Tragic pain
can
strangle even the deepest love, until it's all you see and think of. We
became
a constant reminder to each other of all we'd lost – and all that would
never be. A trauma and tragedy so overpowering that it even physically
effects
the human body. Our love growing inside her body would never survive
the
trauma of that week. One more soul gone. One more unfulfilled dream
snuffed
from our lives; stolen away from us again.
PART
NINE
Every day and minute thereafter was like crawling through molasses.
Time
dragged on. I can barely remember much of those days even now. Later
on,
I was sent papers to appear or give affidavits in over 10 legal
actions;
cross actions; or related filings. My attorneys worked to quash and
expunge
my name and the names of my interests from every single action. In the
end
I was never named nor targeted as a party in anything. I never
testified
for or against anyone. The conspiracy theories and tabloids were brutal
and
disgusting. Truth is – it WAS a tragic accident. Nothing would bring
Buddy back, no matter who got blamed or how much I blamed myself. I
supported
Nin, Cissy, and the family in every way possible. And they did the same
for
me, never blaming me but only thanking me for they knew my loss as I
did
theirs. Every time I read or heard anything about Buddy or the film?
Was
like ripping scabs open and poisoning me anew. Until their Mom
said
she wanted me to see to it that movie was finished properly, for him.
To
make it BOTH our legacies. To do it for her, would be as close as she
could
get to having him back. It was the least I could do – I fed off my pain
and used it as fuel. A very long night alone I spent out on that same
beach
Buddy and I had last been. By myself, spent talking and asking for
guidance
and strength. Would he have let it all go? Would he have faded away or
would
my big brother have dug in his heels and fought even harder? I heard my
answer
in the ocean. Much time passed and many assumed the film would never be
finished.
Through months of work with the Director and other script doctors, we
were
able to pull it together. The Director, plus Cissy, Nin, and all of us
agreed
with his Mom that it must be finished for his sake. I made sure their
wishes
were carried out, going so far as threatening insurance companies.
Paramount
pulled out not wanting to touch the circus surrounding it. I cut a deal
bringing
in people to sign with a brotherly duo who were distributors (now
disgraced)
who agreed to buy it. I personally got the soundtrack finished to
complete
the rock theme-song in time for release. I literally sat in the mixing
chair
helping that "Goth-father" to finish in the studio. Our miraculous
Musical
Supervisor and I went to other friends in the music business to recruit
them
to pitch in – and not a single one ever said "no". Even the reluctant
UK band which inspired the original comic agreed to let us use their
older
stuff. At last we finished everything. It was a complete masterwork
worthy
of Buddy's legacy. A year later after the accident, the movie finally
came
out. It was released to massive success, and even the soundtrack was a
hit.
It was a year that re-defined my life. In my early 20s in this industry
and
I was already baptized by a horrible trial by fire. Somehow, we all
survived
it.
PART
TEN
After years, Cissy finally moved on. She found a great man to
support
her and heal her heart, and she started a great family away from the
business.
Too painful to stay. She deserves her happiness, as Buddy would've
wanted.
Nin found strength and peace in her own budding movie career, as a way
to
stay connected to what Buddy would've wanted for her. She will never
get
over losing her hero, her brother. But she's learned to put it where it
belongs
and move ahead. I'm so in awe of her beauty, her brilliance, genius,
and
the love she shares with everyone. She had a good run in a few films
and
shows, but decided she'd rather live life than act it. With her amazing
Mom,
she's become a genius businesswoman and their foundation has helped
tons
of worthy people. She is her father's and her brother's keeper – and
a great woman whom I will love forever. As she does me. Those things we
lost
in one split-second shot – our futures altered forever – we've
accepted as part of a greater plan. We have to. Our love for each other
remains,
just differently. She and I still talk and see each other now and then.
We
share things deeper than any man and wife will ever share – a cord
connecting us through Buddy's spirit that will carry us into eternity.
Whenever
that time comes. But just not yet. No remake of that movie will ever
touch
the deep root of passion, humanity, and raw burning soul that burns
through
that film. My buddy – my brother – is alive and breathing in every
frame of that film. Some things are best left as they are, and remain
too
sacred to desecrate for pure financial greed. Is that selfish of me?
Perhaps.
But I earned the right to say it. I endured a crashing, forceful
amputation
of half my soul and nearly my own life for that film. Every night I see
a
star, and every time I see the waves break on the beach at night, I
know
Buddy is there with me. Like the character he played in the film, he's
right
beside me. Alive and re-born to continue watching over me; protecting
me;
and leading me from beyond his grave. I feel him in the wind, and hear
his
raucous laugh echo in the darkness. If he were alive today? He'd be
right
here as one of us Himmmms I can promise you that. Many, many times he's
been
there to help me through tough times; nightmares neverending; and
tragic
times which I've since learned to handle as part of life. That fragile
dynamic
which is our life. Yours and mine…all of our lives. Even tonight as
my friend Nin and I hover over this keyboard typing, I can still see
Buddy
right next to me. Alive and running around the den in here. All I have
to
do is look at a certain dark-haired, sparkplug, little boy running
around
my own house as he does now and then. Those wavy long dark locks and
that
Cheshire-cat grin that says "oops! Sorry!"…and laughs his little-self
right out of trouble. That little boy is a living, breathing, offspring
in
my own family. He is the same little boy who has my blood in his veins
–
my blood pumping through his own heart – and he carries the same name
of my deceased buddy. As a tribute in honor of my buddy, friend, and
"brother".
And sometimes, when nobody else is around, I see a little glint in that
little
boy's mischievous eye. Then and there – I feel my brother has come
back,
almost winking at me again. Like the universe is talking to me through
him.
Like he HAS been reborn in some way, to get another chance and to laugh
with
me again. Because, after all…"stranger things have happened".

Sneak Preview - Dancing Boy Update: Here's a sneak preview to a coming
submission. It involves an audition for a movie that helped to bring
down
the production company of a famous foreign-born A list producer, as
well
as a small sea of young, blond/blue eyed boys trying out, and a
consultant
with certain interests (them/that). (This movie would go on to be
remade,
as part of a hugely successful franchise beginning actually with the
sequel.
The latter won the trifecta of major awards. All were based on novels.)
It
will also involve...llamas. For a time during this particular decade,
one
very legendary and eccentric entertainer traveled everywhere with them
-
including this studio backlot. (A certain person concerned frees the
llamas
from the trailer, and the entertainer shows up, but is not angry. He
invites
this young person back to his house to see that the llamas are treated
humanely.)
More famously, the presence of the animals in the studio helped to
scuttle
a collaboration between this entertainer and another permanent A
lister.
He thought it was gross, and if you've ever lived near them you know
how
badly they can smell. Just imagine having to be with them in a small,
enclosed
space. We're going to be trying to get a certain song - part of the
collaboration
released almost a half-decade ago - for the end of the forthcoming DB
short.
As in: so this is life... I wonder if the lawyers for the estate
actually
read scripts before they license material. I guess we'll find out. You
might
say that the consultant in this story is a 1/2 + the title of the movie
(which
was remade under the actual novel title, involving a mythic beast).

Want Some Money?: This actress was probably never higher than B- list.
I
am probably being generous with that listing. The only reason I am even
putting
her that high up is that she did have a nice recurring role on a hit
show
during one season of its run. Our actress started off young. Very
young.
She probably couldn't have been more than 8 or 9 when she worked with
this
former A+ list mostly movie actor. He was someone she would turn to as
she
moved into her teens and started using drugs and was always in need of
money.
When she was about 16 or 17, she started using and it wasn't long
before
she made a call to him asking for money. He was happy to help. No
questions
asked. After a half dozen times asking though, he changed the script on
her.
If she wanted money she had to have sex with him. She was so addicted
to
drugs she willingly went along with it. Instead of trying to get her
help,
the Oscar winning actor just used her to fulfill his own twisted
fantasies.
When she was about 18, it was not just him that she was being forced to
service.
Our actor would ask if she needed money which was code for he had
someone
who wanted to sleep with her. She would always say yes, and actually
began
landing parts again because many of these men were producer and
directors.
None of the movies were memorable or ever really saw the light of day,
but
she did get some work. She thought she was going to make a comeback and
even
went to rehab. The thing is though, our actor liked her hooked and
desperate
and got her to start using again and servicing his friends. Our actress
finally
broke free of his clutches and went back to her hometown but she
couldn't
kick the drugs and was seeing guys for money and drugs right up to her
death.

the

touch

damaged
because the actors were painted head to toe, sweating profusely and
given

smear

It Was Almost Someone Else: Back in about 2002-2003 this hopefully will

earning
power. One of the people who attended his classes and was enamored by
him
was the foreign born offspring of a former leader who still makes a

offspring
for the most part managed to stay in the shadows with her relationship
to

then
but has never previously been mentioned was this former A+ list mostly

day. All of you still know this actress although she rarely works any
longer.
Anyway, she and her significant other had been trying for years to get
a
bunch of regulations lifted so they could expand a vacation house they
owned.
Enter the child molester who introduced the actress to the offspring.
Problem
solved. Our actress was so happy about the connection that she started
bringing
her own offspring to see some of the seminars. Our child molester made
a
bold move to hook up with the offspring of the actress. Now, at the
time,
the offspring had a significant other but did hook up with the molester
and
did so frequently. While they were in the midst of this hookup, a news
report
broke based on some leaked documents which made our child molester and
his
seminars look really bad. It happened at just the worst time. Our
actress
was going to be a public face of the seminars and the offspring was
going
to leave her significant other and be with the child molester full
time.
When that news story broke though almost two decades ago, the actress
was
spooked and bolted and took her offspring with her. If not for that

The Roommate - A Dancing Boy Blind: Back before the one candidate for
yesterday's
#14 blind started going by his actual name, he was a regular at one of
the
franchises of a certain major city club mogul. He hosted frequent drug
and
booze fueled parties attended by the group which included the one
person,
along with his boyfriend, who would commit a notorious murder. (Said
person
is now out of jail, and because FSF was apparently quite wrong about
that
second acts quote, he has a bigger and madder fan base than ever.) Who
did
he like to invite? Barely legals of both sexes. I know because my first
year
college roommate attended one and maybe more than one of these (can't
remember).
Said roommate, sadly now deceased, also dealt on campus, and while the
source
was very likely another person at a higher level mentioned in this
blind
(and long suspected by the feds), the intermediary was someone who got
famous
in a way no one wants to: he was the victim of the notorious murder.
(They
were both also seeing that VJ known for drug guzzling and boi chasing,
which
caused business conflicts.) My roommate had actually started visiting
the
city (from his small upstate hometown) the year before, largely because
his
childhood best friend was going to school nearby. (She was actually a
child
cello prodigy, and would years later go on to internet fame at the big
video
site. The summer before he and I started college - he chose to go where
she
went so they could be close again - she was living with a certain older
orange-haired 80s synth diva in the city. She has a story too about
probably
the most famous cellist at the time, who was also her teen times
teacher,
but I'll leave that for her, if she wants to. He's foreign born, and
his
name is in three parts.) Sadly, my roommate was recruited in the
aforementioned
scene (you can imagine why some rich, famous, and powerful men visited
these
spaces, even if it was officially to keep their profile up, and hang
with
the kids), and more sadly, his experiences led to him to move beyond
party
drugs. By our second or third year, his addiction was well advanced,
and
he spent most of his time with other addicts. I became a kind of
replacement
for him to the old friend. For a good while there, we spent hours of
every
day together (she's the nicest person), listening to music, playing
music,
and talking about everything but him. He and his troubles were always
the
elephant in the room. Who else had been trafficked as a minor,
according
to him? The victim of that famous murder. You can imagine what they
both
knew, and the names they could name. By the early years of the next
decade,
the roommate had finally gotten clean, and was working with other
addicts,
and writing a popular blog among survivors and people in recovery. It
came
as a shock to many when he was found dead, of an apparent accidental
overdose,
in 2004. As you can imagine, there are unresolved questions about both
the
murder and the overdose. There's a third death too, which I'll get to
in
a follow up.

A Reader Blind: Be prepared to start hearing about "trouble in the

of this A list athlete and his wife in the next year. After his huge
scandal
over two decades ago their marriage became contractual. He needed to
keep
his marriage intact to keep his BIG sponsor at the time. She gets paid
to
stay married to him and when she has a baby, gets a 10 million bonus on
top
of the millions she gets to stay married. She has accomplished this
every
time the contract is renewed and she gets her bonus. She made sure that
before
she had the third baby, the first contract expired and they renewed it
promising
her another 10 million because she had two babies during the first
contract
and got screwed. She thought she was going to get 10 million for each
baby
but didn't put the right wording in the contract so he didn't pay up
for
baby #2...hence the reason for the spread out years between the second
and
the third birth. Contracts are once again about to expire and every
time
this happens, she sends out rumors to news sites that the marriage is
in
crisis so he gets the message it's time to renew. It was worth it to
him
to pay up and even though she was young...she was clearly no fool. The
last
few years they've tried to make a go of it since he quit his day job
and
be an actual family but tensions have started with the expiration date
looming.
Will the date pass and they not renew but stay together and continue to
try
to make the marriage work? Will he send the contract over for renewal
or
will he not renew and he or she decide the marriage is over?

The Girl - A Reader Blind Item: This girl
(Samantha
Geimer) was only around thirteen at the time. And here was M
(Elizabeth
Adams (madam)), a madam her mother's age, selling her very
young
body for money. The madam knew damn well she was this tender age and
that's
why she wanted her as a star attraction in her business. Certain
clients
of hers paid a lot for a girl nobody in their right mind thought was
anywhere
near adult. There were young women around who were eighteen and older
and
may have looked a lot younger. But some rich clients wanted the real
taboo
thing. M would get caught in her career by an LAPD vice detective who'd
also
nabbed most of her primary competitors over the years. The madams had
clients
in common also. They could be controlling over their girls, but if a
man
had enough money then he was free to be a patron of whoever he chose.
Madam
Alex is now recognized as the most successful and organized and
connected
of these pre-Heidi Fleiss women who ran LA's sex market. Unlike Heidi
in
later years, who often acted like a rock star, the old school madams
usually
kept their mouths shut and their profiles low, knowing silence was an
advantage.
The clients with such highly illegal interests did not want their
tastes
broadcast for the entire world to know about. Like paying for sex with
a
child. The girl knew a few famous people in her life. Her boyfriend had
a
rock star for a dad, R
(Dennis
Wilson). And R's girlfriend at the time was a rock star
herself.
F
(Christine
McVie), the female rock star, found out that R had been with
the
girl many times. Not as a client, but yet another much older male who'd
abused
this kid and would soon throw her away. It wasn't the first time he
pulled
something like this. Or the last. And F didn't get angry with her, she
was
very concerned about how this affected the girl. After all, R was well
over
thirty. F had tried to protect the girl, hiding drugs from her and R's
son
in the house so that they couldn't get at them. Not all adults took
such
precautions. The girl's teenaged boyfriend discovered what was going on
between
her and his dad and was terribly upset. R could have any adult woman he
wanted
and here he was acting like a person with no boundaries at all. F told
the
girl in a heart to heart conversation that she was in too deep, that
when
she was the same age she played child's games, not taken crazy risks
like
the girl was now into. And even one of R's ex-wives soon told the girl
the
same thing. R eventually stopped being in the girl's life and later on
got
involved with someone else very young directly connected to S
(Mike
Love), his bandmate ("The Beach Boys")
he was often at odds with. R's life ended a few years later,
although
how he made it past 27, when so many rock stars before and since had
died,
was some kind of a fluke. He was one of the wildest in his drug based
lifestyle.
And he had scum around him. Awful people. A celebrity said once if
those
people had tried to enter S's life in the same way it would never have
happened
and that Y
(Sharon
Tate), a rising young star who died tragically, would still be

The Sequel - Reader Blind Item: Someone else is making the rounds, but
in
a much more sympathetic way. It has to do what happened back in the
70s,
when she was sixteen. The other person in this story is someone you all
know.
He's had two careers, the first in Hollywood, and the second in
something
equally high profile. It's almost funny that he has over the past year
or
two been publicly criticizing that permanent A++ celebrity because he
was
basically the first iteration of this person - just not at a national
level.
He got this second job by appealing to anger with the status quo, and
pushed
a similar set of priorities his first two years at the new job. If
these
were movies, the current one might be a sequel. What else do these two
have
in common? Just before getting hired to the second job, there were
agreements
signed - money was exchanged in return for something else. Much like
the
more recent case, the woman in the previous one wants out. In light of
the
recent movement, she wants to tell her story, and has been contacting
all
the major media outlets through her attorney. It's unclear if she'll go
through
with it - people were not always sympathetic when she told them in the
past
- but if she does that famous line of his might finally apply to him,
and
his career. Arnold Schwarzenegger ("I'll be back")

Direct To Video - A Reader Blind Item: This C-list slasher producer and
director,
let's call him LP, had a few trashy straight-to-VHS horror films in the
1990s
and early 2000s. Today, LP runs an online horror film studio that's a
cover
for dark fetishes involving young and often under aged actors. These
movies,
mostly short vignettes, are poorly acted, written and directed, but
always
seem to involve one of the following fetish topics for his perverted
audience:
the removal of shoes or socks to expose barefeet, feet being tickled,
bondage,
shirtless chests, and most disturbingly, actors being choked with hands
or
mouth gags. Trailers of the films can be found on Youtube, with many
perverted
Youtube commenters leaving disturbing comments about the young and
sometimes
under aged actors. The films are sold online through a common
direct-to-customer
marketplace. The plots don't make any sense at all. It's all about
catering
to a bunch of sickos. To keep up the cover, LP attempts to give his
'studio'
some degree of respectability, such as submitting his films to a horror
film
fest in the pacific north west. The fest is the film festival
equivalent
of a diploma mill: pay a fee, get an 'award' and a small write up a on
a
blog. It's incredible no one has caught him in his perverted B.S,
particularly
the parents of young and impressionable actors, some as young as 9, who
are
looking to build up their resume.

Predator High - Old Hollywood - Traditional: If you were a director or
producer
or studio head back in the day, you had easy access to a swarm of
underage
actors and actresses who were pressured to engage in sexual activity or
not
get cast for any more roles. Back even prior to the studio system,
someone
had the idea that it would be a whole lot easier to find teen actors
and
actresses if they were all in the same place. Back then, you often
needed
someone at a moment's notice. You could make a call and the person
would
be sent over. It was not that long after it opened, that you could also
send
for someone even if you didn't have a part. If the teen didn't do what
they
were told, they were sent home and not allowed to return. It also meant
they
would never be cast for anything else. If you were a teen, for many
years,
this was one of the few places you could be from and get cast. One of
the
actresses that knew all this first hand was this permanent A list
mostly
movie actress who was a multiple Oscar winner/nominee. One of the first
movies
that made her famous when she was a teen came as a result of having sex
with
this permanent A++ list mostly movie actor who was almost four decades
older
than the actress. He recommended her to his bff the director and she
got
the job. This former flash in the pan A list actress who all of you
know
for one role got that job when she was a teen because two of her
classmates
said no to sex with the producers and she said yes. She was many years
from
being legal. This former A list mostly television actress blames her
time
there and being the sex toy for a bunch of degenerate directors and
producers
for her life long drug problems. This former A- list mostly movie
actress
is a celebrity offspring. Even though she didn't get her first film
role
until she was legal, she was "auditioning" for several years prior to
that
and apparently her parental unit went on a rampage at a studio when she
found
out the offspring had been with three men at once and didn't get cast
in
the role.

Night At The Theatre - A Reader Blind Item: Here's one from memory
lane:
This story begins with a specific date and time: the night of October
15,
1993. The setting is a theater in mid-town Manhattan - one with an
educational
name. On this night, the procurer for the foreign-born headlining act
had
to do double duty. Normally tasked with rounding up barely legal fans
of
one sex for the after party, he was now tasked with finding barely
legal
fans of both sexes. The reason was the front man for the second opening
act.
This band had recently been signed to a major label bearing the
founder's
name. The singer had been on tv performing someone else's song at an
awards
show, and one or two of their songs were getting airplay. In his mind,
he
was already a big star, and deserved this service too, so it was added
as
a secret rider. The trouble the procurer was having was that the
billing
was a mismatch. The headlining act played a kind of music beloved by
kids
in black, and this other band was more influenced by earlier, classic
ones
- including that one with the most generic name. More or less everyone
in
attendance was there to see the main act, and basically no one had
heard
yet of this other band - including the young people he was trying to
lure
backstage. They all wanted to meet the other singer. And they just
weren't
his type. He ended up having to call in a favor to a talent agent he
knew,
who supplied him with roughly a dozen barely legal models and actresses
to
play the part of screaming fans. Apparently they succeeded, because
even
when the young women couldn't name a single song by the band he just
thought
they were drunk, or something. But the singer was right about
something.
Over the next year, the band would become A list, selling out much
larger
venues than the headlining act would ever play. There's one song though
that
never made the cut off the debut album, which also has the album's
title.
In the song the singer predicts his own downfall, basically declaring
himself
a martyr for his conduct. Within a few years, the main collaborator for
the
other singer would leave the band. It was in part the proverbial
creative
differences, but also because of what he accused the singer of being.
If
this blind was about a show for the follow-up record, you might -
because
of its ambition, and echoes of those beloved/hated often double-record
outings
in the 70s - have called it a Night at the Opera. Extra points for
getting
the words to the second singer's song/confession. It was recorded at a
later
date.

DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS: This married talk show host said the award show
was
family time, but the after parties were his time and sent the family
home
so he could party alone and mingle.

DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS: As part of his deal with this television network,
this
old, permanent A+ list talk show host they provide him with an escort
several
times each week. The network was tired of his scandals so wanted
someone
who could stay quiet. Plus, it gives them leverage, although everyone
knows
he is a perv so I'm not sure what kind of real leverage it gives them.

DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS: This part-time Bold & The Beautiful actress
was
being hit on hard by this actor from another soap who was written out
for
bad behavior on set. He was doing the hitting on while at the party
with
his significant other. In fact, some of it, right n front of her.

DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS: This host/producer told a 20 year old server last
night
that 20 was far too old for the host/producer. That pretty much jibes
with
his whole 18th birthday program where our host/producer has an
assistant
who seems to only search out teens on Instagram about to turn 18 who
live
in LA or willing to come to LA and want to visit the set of the show on
their
birthday in hopes they will have sex with the host/producer.
Considering
the assistant makes it pretty clear what the deal is in advance so the
host/producer doesn't get angry at the assistant, then you basically
have
someone who is paid to troll for underage teens. Yes, they do wait
until
18 for actual sex, but still.

They Tried: A couple of decades ago, a few producers tried to blackball
two
actors they thought should never work in Hollywood again. For the most
part,
their efforts as far as television goes, worked. The producers created
a
middling network show that probably should have kept running for a few
more
seasons. Instead, the show was abruptly halted and everyone sent on
their
way. The reason was the network was told by the producers that two of
the
actors, including the lead were raping a teen boy almost every day of
the
filming. The producers found out about it ten days before the show was
shut
down. One of the actors involved had a pretty decent career going and
to
the outside world, it was a shock that he basically never worked again
until
the raped actor couldn't speak up about what happened. I always found
that
interesting. No work and then the raped teen couldn't speak any longer
and
it was almost as if the blackball lifted. Because of his connections,
the
other blackball worked for television for the most part, but he just
moved
over to movies to continue his career which was based almost primarily
upon
others in his family putting forth good words and just constantly
mentioning
him to try and get work. All of you know him, and it probably isn't for
his
acting resume.
