Poor Norm Clark (Las Vegas Confidential) got a taste of what irate
boyfriends do when their girl does not win. Illusionist Criss Angel and
his posse caused quite a dust-up when his girlfriend Veronica Grabowski
did not win the title for "Miss USA" pageant.
I have written many articles on this subject and and have also been
interviewed on top TV shows. When I was on Playboy’s payroll or
Cosmopolitan’s payroll, I would be invited to judge one thousand contest
which I did until I had complete burn-out. It can be a very dangerous
job! At a contest at the Palladium in L.A., after the contest I went to
my car and a young man threw me over the hood of my car and tried to
strangle me - the parking lot attendant saved me. But one of the worst
of my being terrorized when after judging a contest with Jaclyn Smith
and Jack Kogan (big stars at the time), when I went to my car, a fellow
followed me and started peeing on me while I was trying to get into my
car. But if had it to do all over again, I would do it again because I
did get to go all over the world (as the expert on judging beauty and
brains).
This is a photo of Julie Hayeck when she won "Miss USA" and I was a
judge. Long time ago now. But irate boyfriends can be dangerous, I mean
real dangerous.

Doctor Laura Addis and her husband Don DeStefano have been introduced to
the high quality of culture in Las Vegas by colleagues Drs. Theodore and
Parvin Modaber Jacobs. They tell me the Nevada Ballet is of world class
performance and they do really know as coming from NY, where they were
patrons of the world excellent Ballet Performances. When I was a close
friend of David Cohen (of the famous Brofman family of Canada and
Hollywood) he would invite me to all of the culture events he attended
and contributed to. Then he moved back to Hollywood and became involved
in producing movies. In the meantime, he got married and divorced.
Several people have inquired if I know where he is now in Las Vegas. But
I do not know anymore. But I am sure , he will be seen soon at all the
cultural events again as he is a very generous and supportive to his
love of music and classical talent.
