Purple Gene Reviews
Leslie Gore
Purple Gene's review of Leslie Gore "Coming Out" on "Ellen"
LESLIE GORE IS GAY! (and by the way-she's got a new album out!!!)
When I was 18 years old, I remember dancing the "Frug" and the "Hitch Hike" at my Senior Ball with my date - Doreen Barberella to the 1963 smash hit "It's My Party" by Leslie Gore ("It's my party and I'll cry if I wanna….cry if I wanna….cry if I wanna ….you would cry too if it happened to you!")……I remember back then the funky beat and her double tracked vocal. I also remember her follow up smash.."It's Judy Turn to Cry" (Judy is the slut that stole Johnny from Leslie in "It's My Party"). Then in the Summer of 63', Leslie Gore changed her tune……she got SERIOUS with the song "You Don't Own Me" (I'm not just one of your little toys!!!) . this was the totality of teen angst and I never forgot her.
Little did I know that when Leslie was a mere 16 years old she happen to get hooked up with the legendary Quincy Jones (Produced Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin and more) and they picked "It's my Party" out of 200 songs to record. They rushed it to release before Phil Spector's version of the same song sung by the Crystal got out! Well it went to number one and it was Quincy's first pop hit and the rest is history.
Leslie was big in 1963 but in the male dominated world of music, she would disappear into Pop music oblivion.
Until last week ….when Leslie was on the Ellen Show. She let the whole world know that she has been living with her cocker spaniel named Billie Holliday and her girlfriend for the last 23 years. Goddammit she's GAY….and she's got a new ALBUM!
Listen Leslie…I will always love you…..I'm happy that you're happy…but I don't think I'll be buying your new album…only because I know it will never be as good as "It's My Party"!!!! Good Luck…I really mean it!!!

For Political Advantage
Celebrity Bashing
By Mick Youther
When liberal celebrities speak out, the right-wing pounces and the cooperative media attacks, and pressing national problems are ignored.
Why is there so much media criticism of celebrities who speak out against the Bush Administration and its policies? What have the celebrities said that warrants the venomous attacks on their character and their motives?
• "… a pre-emptive military invasion of Iraq will harm American national interests. Such a war will increase human suffering, arouse animosity toward our country, increase the likelihood of terrorist attacks, damage the economy, and undermine our moral standing in the world. It will make us less, not more, secure.
--Artists for Winning Without War
• "And they have turned loose a myriad of our high-tech weapons, each one costing more than a hundred high schools, on a Third World country, in order to shock and awe human beings like us, like Adam and Eve, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers."
--Kurt Vonnegut, writer
• "For me as an American, the most painful aspect of this is that I believe that administration has taken the events of 9/11 and has manipulated the grief of the country andntry and I think that's reprehensible."
--Dustin Hoffman, actor
• "It is criminal to put our servicemen and women in harm's way and to put the lives of so many civilians on the line for the misguided frustrations of the Bush administration."
--Dave Matthews, musician

Solidarity's 25th Anniversary
Jean-Michel Jarre
French music star Jean-Michel Jarre will perform a one-off concert in the northern Polish port of Gdansk to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Solidarity, organizers said.
"Jarre will play a composition he's created specially to mark the August strikes," said organizer, Stanislaw Plakwicz.
Jarre's concert, which will take place on August 26, is expected to attract up to 100,000 people. More celebrations are planned in Gdansk and Brussels later in the month.

Overnight Inflation
Hollywooditis
Hollywooditis is sometimes used to define the general mindlessness that pervades blockbusters and sequels, or the phoney moments that corrupt otherwise decent films. But in Hollywood it is used to denote the tornado of egomaniacal difficultness that erupts with too much success - for instance: "Stay clear, he's got total Hollywooditis since his Golden Globe nomination."
After getting an Oscar nomination with only his second film, the director Peter Bogdanovich behaved so imperiously that when he had his first flop, Billy Wilder said the "champagne corks were popping and the flags were waving all over town".
After the success of Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy was bowled over by Hollywooditis like a ten-pin. Along with the obvious symptoms - absurdly huge entourage, sunglasses worn indoors, keeping everybody waiting for hours - Murphy's unique symptom was a purple leather suit with matching gloves. "That equals a period when I was not grounded," he admitted after an equally precipitous and sobering period of failure.
Leonardo DiCaprio succumbed with his droit de seigneurial "Pussy Posse" period after he was nominated in 1994 for an Oscar for What's Eating Gilbert Grape? "As soon as enough people give you enough compliments," he said, "and you're wielding more power than you've ever had in your life, you get a false sense of your own importance."

Recruiting Effort?
Tom Cruise
From the looks of it, Tom Cruise's televised crackup is actually helping the Church of Scientology's recruitment efforts. Since he declared his eternal love for Katie Holmes in early May, visits to the Church's official website have shot up 263 percent to a peak of 375,000 visitors per day last week, according to site traffic tracker alexa . A lot of those visitors must have come through Google, which listed "Scientology" as the 10th-fastest-gaining query for the week of June 27. While most were just rubber-necking, surely some will buy the sales pitch.
Those looking to learn more about what makes Tom tick have also been heading to the bookstore. According to Barnes & Noble rep Mary Keating, "Sales of Dianetics in the last month have more than doubled. It took off in 1985 and has been a huge best-seller for about five years," she said. "It's a title we stock in all our stores at all times and we anticipate a strong year."
John Carmichael, a spokesperson for the Church, downplayed Cruise's influence, claiming "The popularity and uptrend was already there. Scientology is the largest-growing religion in the world," he said. (Hear that, Mormonism?) "All I can say is the people are here because of their huge interest in the church. Scientology has always been very, very popular."

Claim Labor Law Breaches
Reality TV Writers
A dozen writers who work in the booming arena of "reality" television have sued networks and production companies for what they say are violations of California labor law governing overtime wages and meal breaks.
The case, filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, is part of a larger campaign by the union representing Hollywood screenwriters to organize the creative workers behind such programs as "Survivor," "The Bachelor," "The Apprentice" and "The Simple Life."
The suit seeks class-action status for reality TV staffers who toil anonymously to create dramatic tension -- and the artifice of spontaneity -- with such job titles as story editor, story producer, story assistant or segment producer.
The suit claims those workers routinely work more than 80 hours a week without overtime, are denied work breaks for meals and are required to falsify their time cards.
The lawsuit names four networks -- CBS, ABC, the WB and TBS -- as well as four production companies.

Getting Much-Needed Wash
Mount Rushmore
Call it a makeover of monumental proportions. A crew began a project Thursday to wash the granite faces of Mount Rushmore to remove decades of dirt, grime and lichens that can damage the complexion of the four presidents.
The workers began scaling the mountain and offered a demonstration of the pressure washing on Thursday, and plan to start the full-scale cleaning Friday. The job could take five weeks.
The washings are compliments of a German manufacturer of cleaning machines that has donated 80 such projects around the world, said Alfred Karcher GmbH & Co. KG spokesman Frank Schad. He said the company pressure washed the base of the Statue of Liberty two years ago and was looking for another interesting project to do in the United States.

Welsh Maze
Tom Jones
How unusual - a giant image of Welsh singing legend Tom Jones is at the centre of a newly-planted maze.
The tribute to Pontypridd-born Jones has been sown at a tourtist attraction to mark the superstar's 65th birthday.
When fully-grown, the maze, created in a five-acre maize field, will stand up to 13ft tall - although Jones' image can only be seen from the air.
Visitors tackling the puzzle, which is made up by over four miles of pathways, will be posed a series of pop music questions - including some about the singer.
It will be be open to the public from 16 July and remain open throughout the summer season before the maize is harvested at the end of August.

Faces More Charges
Man in Toilet
A man's arrest two weeks ago after being pulled from an outhouse toilet in New Hampshire has landed him in hot water in Maine. Gary Moody, 45, appeared Thursday in court on a charge of violating his probation by leaving the state and allegedly committing new crimes.
Moody has been free on $250 bail from Carroll County, N.H., where he faces two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of criminal trespass after being found June 26 in the waste tank of a pit toilet on U.S. Forest Service property in Albany, N.H.
Authorities arrived at the scene after a 14-year-old girl heard a noise in the toilet and saw a face looking up at her. Moody was removed by police and was hosed down by firefighters before being arrested.

Persona Non Grata
Corn Cob Bob
An ethanol industry group is steaming after its mascot, Corn Cob Bob, was declared persona non grata at the Canada Day celebrations in the nation's capital.
The Canadian Renewable Fuels Association charges that Corn Cob Bob was excluded from the festivities because event sponsor Shell Canada wanted him shucked out.
Corn Cob Bob is on a fuel's errand, making the rounds of events this summer to promote ethanol made from corn, handing out balloons and temporary tattoos, and teaching children about renewable energy.

Activists Already Appointed
Judges
No need to wait until President Bush appoints a Supreme Court justice to see how he will make his mark on the federal judiciary. One level down, dozens of conservative appeals court judges appointed by Bush already are helping to shape the law in ways that ultimately could have as much, and in some ways even more, impact than the nine justices of the nation's highest court.
Since Bush's appellate judges have only gradually taken their seats on benches around the country, and the cases that they draw run the gamut, it's still early to chart their impact on specific issues. But already it is clear that these judges make up a solidly conservative crowd that tends to lean Bush's way on the big issues of the day.
So far, Bush's appointees to the appeals court are showing patterns very close to judges of his Republican predecessors in ideologically contested cases, according to law professor Cass Sunstein at the University of Chicago, where the Chicago Judges Project is tracking the federal judiciary.
Because appeals courts rule on thousands of cases each year, compared to only about 75 a year decided by the Supreme Court, the impact of Bush's appellate judges could be far-reaching.
For a lot more, Judges
