The other night I was eating at the very upscale N9ne at the Palms, there was a girl in there (that resembled Paris Hilton) . She had her feet on her chair and brought her knees up under her chin as she ate - it was a fascinating procedure. It reminded me of one time I was at the famous Thailian Ball and sitting at the table next to Debbie Reynolds with her daughter Carrie Fisher . Carrie had her bare feet in her lap and she was playing with her toes. Debbie kept saying Carrie put your feet under the table. Carrie remember wrote "Postcards from the Edge" - a very popular movie at the time. Spotted Mayor Oscar Goodman with Johnny Brenden (owner of Brenden chain of theaters) and Johnny’s beautiful girlfriend Diva at the premiere of "How to Eat Fried worms". Then the Mayor went from there to the party at Montesano Restaurant where popular Las Vegas strip stars Tony Sacca, Bill Acosta and David Brenner were also guest.

Hope you can go see "Hollywoodland". It is about the murder of the first Superman, George Reeves It involved the head of a big studio and was covered up as was the death of Natlie Woods on Thanksgiving on her yacht at Catalina Island.. When I was living in Hollywood at the same time I was on the payroll of The Enquirer, Playboy and Cosmopolitan Talent Agency and knew about covertures. But the real truth of the murder of George Reeves has become known now as Edward Lozzi (most important P.R. icon in Hollywood) was with her when she died and ask for a Priest to confess her part in the murder. That is not shown in this movie. The Hollywood Land sign was put up in 1923 but it was falling down and the Land part was gone. Then in about 1973 Playboy Enterprises paid to have the sign remade and put up again (minus the word Land) and was taking care of it’s maintenance for a very long time. It is still a landmark up above Hollywood at the top of the hills.

Another one of the big cover-ups I became involved in was one morning when a big star with the first name of David and his wife were engaged in sex with a Playboy Model and he died of a heart attack. I got a call from the model she was the Pacific Coast highway at a pay phone and told me that the wife told her to get out of Malibu as fast she could. So I called Playboy and they sent a Playboy limousine for her. The newspapers or anyone else ever knew about the threesome that gave him the heart attack.

I have been very "lucky" to have lived in two of the most exciting cities in the world Los Angeles and Las Vegas and been involved with the entertainment field all of that time..
