My Little Segment
Wednesday Evening's Adventure
Got to men' s central in downtown LA (450 Bauchet), around 7:30, thinking that Marc was all processed. Of course, there is no off-street parking, and it's in not the most
pleasant of neighborhoods, but after the 4th or 5th pass, realized I'd have to find a place to park the car & do a bit of walking
(by LA-at-night standards) to puzzle this out.
A dark block, up 2 flights of stairs, and it's men's central. Gray is the color. The room is overly-bright in that fluorescent-glow kind of way.
It's a peculiar combination of 'Blade Runner', a big city bus station (with more than a hint of disinfectant), and enough sad stories to fill
the Lifetime network's quota of sad stories for a lifetime.
I'm wearing a too large, bright red sweatshirt - gonna make this easy for one of us.
Of course, Marc is even more interesting in person than his website would lead one to believe. Turns out they hadn't given him his money or id yet, so, we 'hang' for awhile.
There's a Denny's about 8 blocks away that must seem worlds away from the confines of that concrete block building. Since Marc had been officially 'released', and we were 'just' waiting
for his money & id, it was off to the warmer shade of fluourescence at Denny's, and some solid food.
The wind was blowing hard, and coming off the desert. This time of year, that means it's colder than usual, and the wind had more than a little bite. It's coming from the north, and it's
in the realm of 'brisk'.
Way back on Monday, Marc had left the late summer weather of Australia, and since he was 'picked up' at LAX, and his luggage left behind, he literally had
only the clothes on his back. A black t-shirt & black jeans. And shoes. They were Nikes (I think), but, the shoelaces
had been confiscated, like something out of a bad 'Alice's Restaurant', (so he wouldn't hang himself) & his shoes flapped.
(There was no Group W bench.)
Anyway, no one at this Denny's blinked over flapping shoes.
Then back to 450 Bauchet to wait some more. Finally got him here to Long Beach a little after 11 pm, & then took him to the Diva's house 'cause she had a spare bedroom & we only have a couch (and
I sure don't blame him!).
That was was one tired man.
But, jeez, talk about fucking gracious, scoping all the angles, and still having more than a good word.
He wouldn't take any of Cal's clothes (his luggage still at LAX - they're about the same size), and it was cold.
Was glad to be able to have been some use.
Besides, it was so nice to be out on such a pretty night. Don't get out at night that much anymore, even though it used to be my time of day. The kind of night
Raymond Chandler would have written about. And in his world the irony of going from Bay City to downtown LA...ain't life grand!
Old hippie pal used to delight in explaining that these north winds bring masses of negatively charged ions, and that was a good thing having to do with creativity and change.
Overall, I just know that the winds blow all the air crud out to sea, and makes the lights look twinkly.
And I had a great adventure.
(Bet somewhere between the Diva's & Qantas it gets even better!)

In The Chaos Household
Last Night
Thanks to a variety of spare TV's in this household, March Madness was in the background, all day, most of primetime.
Realized too much of it was seeping in when I was bummed about Gonzaga. Jeez.
KCET, PBS for Los Angeles had a show on about Liberace tonight. It was opposite the
Diane Sawyer interview with Rosie O'Donnell.
Indulged in a little guilty pleasure in 'Mommy Dearest' on Bravo. No more wire hangers!
Tonight, Friday, it's all basketball all the time on CBS.
NBC has a 2 hour 'Dateline' followed by a rerun of 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'.
ABC has a fresh 'Home Videos', a rerun 'Bloopers #5' (for those keeping count), and
'20/20'.
The WB is all fresh with 'Sabrina', 'My Guide To Becoming A Rock Star', 'Reba' and
'Maybe It's Me'.
Faux has reruns of 'That 70's Show' and 'Grounded For Life', followed by a fresh 'Dark Angel'.
UPN has 2 fresh episodes of 'The Amazing Race'.
TCM seems to be acknowledging the Ides Of March by celebrating numbers. 'Three Little Words', 'One, Two, Three',
'The Magnificient Seven', and my fav, 'The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T'. Later, they're showing the original '8 1/2', in Italian (with
subtitles - woo-hoo), and letter-box format, too.
Dennis Miller is on HBO, but I don't know who the guest is.
Anyone have any opinions?
Or reviews?

New Nickname
''The Pest''
U2 singer Bono says he has a new nickname around the White House: "The Pest."
The Irish rocker met with President Bush in the Oval Office on Thursday to discuss AIDS and Bush's new initiative on U.S. aid to poor countries.
Afterward, he accompanied Bush to a speech, then had another session with White House officials.
"It is much easier and hipper for me to be on the barricades with a handkerchief over my nose — it looks better on the resume of a rock 'n' roll star,"
he said. "But I can do better by just getting into the White House and talking to a man who I believe listens, wants to listen, on these subjects."
Bono called the global AIDS epidemic "the defining crisis of our age," and said Bush branded it "genocide."
It wasn't clear who Bush believed was perpetrating the genocide. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the president "was using it figuratively
as a way to describe an immense tragedy."
Bono said he interpreted Bush's word to mean that "through our inaction, we are complicit."

Contract Is Up In January
Jon Stewart
Comedy Central cut-up Jon Stewart wasn't kidding when he said on "Saturday Night Live" last week that he's interested in a gig on network television.
Before ABC began negotiating with David Letterman to jump ship, execs at the Disney-owned network made overtures to "The Daily Show"-host
Stewart about hosting a late-night talk show in the time period held by Ted Koppel's "Nightline," according to sources close to the situation.
Stewart - whose contract to host Comedy Central's "Daily Show" ends in January - currently earns more than $2 million a year.
News that Stewart was also approached by ABC adds fuel to reports that the network has been trying to replace its current late night lineup of
"Nightline" and "Politically Incorrect" for some time.
Stewart, who hosted last week's "Saturday Night Live," made jokes about the scramble for Letterman and his rumored candidacy to replace Dave if he left CBS.
"I would do anything," Stewart cracked during his monologue noting he'd take Letterman's, Jay Leno's or Conan O'Brien's jobs.
"Willard Scott, you tired of waving at old people? I'll take that.
"I work on basic cable, do you understand what I'm saying?
"I'd like to get some of those spoiled rich guys over to my neck of the woods where you still have to pay for your own sodas," Stewart said.

To Direct 'Dark Angel' Season Finale
James Cameron
"Titanic" director James Cameron will make his TV helming debut on the second season finale of "Dark Angel," the Fox sci-fi drama he co-created.
The episode is scheduled to air Friday, May 3, at 9 p.m. The eight-day shoot will begin later this month; the script is still being written.
The series, which stars Jessica Alba as a genetically altered superhuman, has not yet been renewed for a third season and has earned mixed results this season
on Friday nights.
The budget for the "Dark Angel" season finale is expected to be the same as for any other episode -- a little less than $3 million. That's a big change for
Cameron, whose "Titanic" went famously over-budget, but more than redeemed itself at the box office and at the Academy Awards.
"It will be good discipline for me to direct one hour on a TV-size budget when my last project was three hours for $200 million," Cameron said. "Wish me
luck. This should be interesting."

Thanks The Women In Her Life
Rene Russo
While appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" to promote her new movie, "Showtime," Rene Russo cried on Thursday
and said how grateful she was to the lesbians who raised her after her father left.
"I wasn't going to say this, but I was just listening to Rosie O'Donnell and I have to tell you, I wanted to burst into
tears," Russo said, her eyes welling up.
"First of all, I want to say thank you to her. Second, I'd like to say that when I was born — oh, I'm going to cry,
but this is for you, Rosie — my dad left and it was women in my life that were gay that raised me and that helped and nurtured me. ...
"I wanted to call my mom to say, look, mom, I'm going on national television to say thank you for all your friends,
because she was just pretty much abandoned and a lot of her friends came and helped her to raise me and my sister,"
the 48-year-old actress said. "And if it weren't for that, I don't know where we'd be."

Celebrity 'Boxing'
Vanilla Ice was iced by Todd Bridges. Bonaduce banished Barry. Then Tonya pounded Paula.
At least some of the fighters saw stars in the ring, even if viewers didn't. The matchups,
taped last week at a Los Angeles TV station, were billed as official three-round contests.
(Although the studio audience heard two conflicting rulings from the judges for each contest,
so the official outcome wouldn't get out before airtime.)
Ring announcer Michael Buffer got things started with his trademark "Let's get ready to rumblllllllllle!"

Future Senator From New Mexico?
Sam Donaldson
Sam Donaldson may not be getting any love from his bosses at ABC, but this afternoon he's joining Senate Democrats in a private luncheon
in the U.S. Capitol. The bombastic newsman, who is rumored to be on his way out of ABC's weak Sunday political chat show, might be eyeing
a run for the Senate in New Mexico, where he raises mohair-producing sheep on his federally subsidized ranch.

New Autobiography
Michael J. Fox
Michael J. Fox turned to alcohol after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, he says in his autobiography.
In "Lucky Man: A Memoir," the former "Spin City" star describes the nightly drinking binges, which his wife, actress Tracy Pollan,
confronted him about. Excerpts from the book, due out in April, appear in the March 25 issue of People magazine.
The 40-year-old Fox said he decided to stop drinking in June 1992, and entered therapy in December 1993. In March 1998, he underwent brain
surgery to relieve tremors in his left arm; later that year, he announced he had the disease.

Purchased John Lennon's Childhood Home
Yoko Ono
John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has bought the childhood home where the Beatle learned to play the guitar, British newspapers reported on Friday.
She bought the semi-detached property in Menlove Avenue in Liverpool, northern England, for more than 150,000 pounds ($212,700) and donated it to the National Trust, the Times said.
Lennon moved to the house aged five to live with his aunt Mimi after his parents split.
She wanted to ensure that the house -- where Lennon wrote the early Beatles hit "Please Please Me" in his bedroom -- remained in the hands
of the Liverpool people.
Ono will unveil a statue of her husband, who was murdered in 1980, at Liverpool's John Lennon airport on Friday.

Bridal Shower Hosted By Denise Rich
Liza Minnelli
The songstress was serenaded and the guest list was star-studded at Liza Minnelli's bridal shower.
Donna Summer, Natalie Cole and Valerie Simpson performed "You Are So Beautiful to Me," said Warren Cowan, publicist for Minnelli's fiance,
producer David Gest, on Thursday. Socialite songwriter Denise Rich was the host of Wednesday's shower at her Fifth Avenue penthouse.
Among the 70 guests were Janet Leigh, Patricia Neal and Jane Powell, contemporaries of Minnelli's mother, Judy Garland. The bride's best
friend, Marisa Berenson — a maid of honor at Saturday's wedding, along with Elizabeth Taylor — was there, as were "The View" co-hosts Joy
Behar, Star Jones and Meredith Vieira.
Minnelli, who turned 56 on Tuesday, and Gest, 48, are marrying at the Marble Collegiate Church. The marriage will be Minnelli's fourth and Gest's first.
Michael and Tito Jackson will be the best men at the ceremony, and Whitney Houston will sing "The Greatest Love of All" as Minnelli walks down
the aisle in a Bob Mackie gown. The bridesmaids, who will be dressed in black, include Mia Farrow, Gina Lollobrigida and Petula Clark.

Not A Jamaican - She's A Californian
Miss Cleo
Miss Cleo, the Jamaican shaman and spokeswoman for a psychic hot line, was born in California, according to her birth certificate.
The state Attorney General's Office received a copy of Miss Cleo's birth certificate, showing that she was born Youree Dell Harris on Aug. 13,
1962, in Los Angeles County Hospital. Her parents are from Texas and California.
State authorities have sued Harris, spokeswoman for Access Resource Services Inc. and Psychic Readers Network, challenging her to prove she really
is a renowned shaman from Jamaica. Harris appears on national television commercials promising insights into love, money and other personal matters.
The attorney general and Federal Trade Commission have sued the Fort Lauderdale companies for fraud, alleging the service misrepresented costs,
billed for services never purchased, harassed consumers with unwanted telemarketing calls and responded to consumer complaints with abusive, threatening language.

Executive Producer & Groom
David Gest
It seems that David Gest is going right down to the wire in negotiations for world video and photo rights to his Saturday nuptials with Liza
Minnelli. While some cynics think the whole thing is a freak show, the world's media are clamoring to cover it and Gest is looking to collect
up to $2 million from a dozen or more outlets. That's one reason the security bill alone for the Fifth Avenue wedding and the reception at the
Wall Street Regent is more than $250,000. You can't sell exclusive rights if an enterprising paparazzi with a hidden camera has got there first.
Rumour has it that the wedding has an all-up cost of $2.7 million and counting. The Regent dinner alone is costing $750-a-head and Lord knows
what fee lighting genius Bentley Meeker (he illuminated the Michael Douglas-Catherine Zeta-Jones nuptials) is charging to transform the hotel
ballroom into a multi-colored desert image. Then there's florist Preston Bailey, who has designed a white wildflower bouquet for Liza and a forest ]
of weeping willows, white jasmine and cream roses for the church and the reception.

1 Case Settled, 1 To Go
Naomi Campbell
British supermodel Naomi Campbell on Thursday won a High Court battle against a former personal assistant who spilled the beans about her private life to a Sunday newspaper.
Vanessa Frisbee, who worked for Campbell for three months, was challenging a ruling that she had breached her contract by making allegations about the model to the News of the World.
She alleged that Campbell had attacked her for failing to cover up details of an alleged affair between the model and "Shakespeare in Love" star
Joseph Fiennes, while Campbell was with live-in partner Flavio Briatore.
Last month the High Court Master, a senior High Court official, decided to award summary judgement in Campbell's favor without a trial.
Later this month, another High Court judge will rule on Campbell's landmark privacy case against the Mirror newspaper.
She is seeking damages against the paper for breach of confidence and unlawful invasion over a report that she was attending meetings of narcotics anonymous.

Snarky Gossip
Princess Stephanie
Princess Stephanie of Monaco apparently has ended her yearlong relationship with the director of the Swiss national circus, Swiss newspapers said.
"Stephanie goes home to Papa," the mass-circulation daily Blick said Wednesday in a headline. The 37-year-old princess took her three
children and two dogs with her, the newspaper said.
In Lausanne, the daily Le Matin said simply, "It's over."
Le Matin said a major reason for the split from Franco Knie was that the 47-year-old circus director and elephant trainer was still married to Claudine, his wife
of 14 years, a year after he had left her for Stephanie.

Wife #4 Says...
Osama bin Laden was irritable, lonely and in pain in the period before the September 11 attacks in the United States for which he is
Washington's chief suspect, according to one of his four wives.
In an interview with this week's edition of the London-based al-Majallah weekly magazine, the wife, identified only by the initials
"A.S.," said the Saudi-born Islamic militant had been suffering from kidney and stomach pains and told her he wanted to die in Afghanistan.
"A.S." said she had not heard from her husband since September 11, when she was holed up in caves in southern Afghanistan before being
moved to a secret location in Pakistan by one of bin Laden's sons.
"I heard him say more than once that America was his number one enemy and that it was chasing him and trying to kill him," she said. "He spoke about
American dominance and its cooperation with Israel. He said America had humiliated the Arabs."
In a rare insight into the personal life of the world's most wanted man, the woman said that bin Laden had two wives in Kandahar, a third in Kabul and another in Tora Bora.
He didn't sleep more than two or three hours a night, liked eating bread, yogurt, honey and figs and had educated his children privately after the
Taliban banned all but religious schools.

Isabella Rossellini
Turning 50 is no trauma for the beautiful Isabella Rossellini, who tells the April issue of InStyle that the secret of aging well is to
be comfortable with yourself. Ingrid Bergman's daughter says she'll only wear things like tight skirts and high heels if she knows she's
only going to be in them for a couple of hours. For a long day's work, though, she chooses men's suits. "They are incredibly comfortable
and sexy," she says. "A corset is beautiful, but you can't sustain it."

Tiger, Wolf, Rosebud and Headless
Jerry Garcia's Guitars
The fight over Jerry Garcia's guitars hit another snag — this time over taxes — surprising even the judge who thought the ownership dispute was nearing an end.
It's the latest in the battle between Grateful Dead Productions and Doug Irwin, who built for Garcia the guitars known as Tiger, Wolf, Rosebud and Headless.
When Garcia died in 1995, he left the guitars to Irwin. But the Novato-based production company that oversees the band's affairs maintained the
guitars belonged to the Dead, not Garcia.
Both parties agreed to compromise and walk away with two guitars each.
Marin County Judge Michael Dufficy was expected to sign off on the deal Tuesday. But Irwin's lawyer argued that Tiger should pass through
Garcia's estate, meaning Irwin would not have to pay taxes on it. Dufficy will consider the conflict at a hearing scheduled for May 14.

Picked Up For 3 More Years
'Will & Grace'
In a blockbuster deal valued at more than $300 million, NBC has locked up Thursday hit "Will & Grace" for three more seasons.
The deal makes "Will & Grace" NBC's fourth most-expensive series, behind only "ER" (about $8 million), "Friends" ($6 million) and "Frasier" ($5.2 million)
While negotiations between NBC and NBC Studios would seem to be a cakewalk -- given that Peacock West Coast president Scott Sassa oversees
both -- talks extended for many weeks and involved real bargaining. That's because profit participants such as series executive producers David
Kohan, Max Mutchnick and James Burrows could easily sue if they felt network and studio made a sweetheart deal.

Asa & His Bull(horn)
"Liar! Liar!" came the voices from the crowd.
Drug Enforcement Administration chief Asa Hutchinson stopped short, caught midsentence. He had started by saying: "Science has told us so far
there is no medical benefit for smoking marijuana ..."
Hutchinson pushed on with his message, reiterating President Bush's newly aggressive anti-drug policy, which links casual drug use to terrorism
and objects to state laws like California's that allow the medicinal use of marijuana.
Just hours before Hutchinson's appearance Feb. 12, federal agents - with no help from police - seized more than 600 pot plants from a medicinal
marijuana club. They also arrested the group's executive director and three suppliers, including pot guru Ed Rosenthal, author of "Ask Ed:
Marijuana Law. Don't Get Busted."
The federal raids have angered and alarmed local officials in San Francisco.
On the day Hutchinson spoke, a half-dozen city officials joined a boisterous street protest against the DEA. Even District Attorney Terence
Hallinan grabbed a bullhorn and criticized the raids, as demonstrators, some in wheelchairs and on crutches, chanted, "DEA, Go away!" and pot
smoke wafted through the air. Opponents of Washington's stand on marijuana said the raids may be a precursor to showdowns in at least seven
other states that have also passed laws in conflict with the federal ban on pot.
Under a law passed by California voters in 1996, marijuana clubs can dispense pot to people with cancer, AIDS or other chronic illnesses to relieve pain and nausea.

'Baseball As America'
Strains of "Take Me Out To The Museum," may be heard in Manhattan this spring as upstate New York's National Baseball Hall of Fame goes on a road trip for the first time in its 63-year history.
The "Baseball As America" exhibition, organized by the Hall of Fame, opens on Saturday at the American Museum of Natural History for a six-month run before moving on to nine other U.S. cities over the next three years.
The Doubleday Ball, used in a 1839 game, a 1908 Thomas Edison recording of "Casey at the Bat," "Shoeless" Joe Jackson's shoes, Jackie Robinson's jersey and a hate letter to Hank Aaron are among 500
artifacts in the show, which marks the first time these bits of baseball history have left their home in Cooperstown, New York.

Deloreese Daniels Owens, the daughter of "Touched by an Angel" star Della Reese, has died, the actress announced Thursday. She was 41.
Owens' body was found in a bed at her Los Angeles-area home on Wednesday, said Reese's publicist, Jennifer Pinto.
The cause of death was not immediately known, but Owens had been suffering from a pituitary dysfunction that made her sensitive to infections.
The disorder had required hospitalization on three previous occasions.
Reese, 70, adopted Owens in 1961, naming the girl after herself. The actress, whose birth name was Deloreese Patricia Early, has three other grown children.
