Zimmerman Not Guilty

After more than 15 hours of deliberating, the six-woman jury in the trial of George Zimmerman has found the neighborhood watchman not guilty. Zimmerman was accused of profiling, pursuing, and fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen, in February 2012. Zimmerman, 29, could have faced life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder. The jury also had the option to consider the lesser charge of manslaughter, which could have meant up to 30 years in prison.

Forget about movies with a bunch of A listers in them. If you want some really crazy things going on, your best bet is to hire a bunch of C+ listers who used to be almost A because they have money and have fallen so there is usually a reason. There was a movie in the past few years that fit this bill. It did not do that well, but I'm not sure what you expect when you hire this group of people. There was the former almost A lister from mostly movies who has fallen to C, but still has one of the best voices ever. And great eyes. I used to have a thing for her. Now though it seems she spent most of the movie high as a kite. Friendly, but high. One former big drug user was really well behaved. Still can't act, but he was well behaved. The true disaster on the set was this former A lister. Yep, he was A list and is now doing some tiny no budget movie. Bitter about it too. He was a complete a-hole. He had a mustache that he refused to shave. He changed lines without telling the director and the director and the actor nearly came to blows several times. He was constantly showing up on set drunk and crew members discovered a crack pipe and crack in a car that he was the only one allowed to drive.

I just think it has been awhile since I told one of my of stories. The blog was supposed to be about my life and the people I met, but it is easy to get away from that. At least for today, it is back.




After my first year of law school, I didn’t have a paying job for that summer, but decided I would head out to Los Angeles because a friend’s father was a managing partner of a law firm and was happy to have all the free help he could find. So began a miserable summer.

During college and the first year of law school I had supported myself by promoting concerts and doing a little booking of bands as well. It worked out well and gave me a nice cash income that was not necessarily all reported as accurately as it could have been.

My hope for the summer in LA was to see a bunch of new bands and basically just get drunk on Sunset every night of the week. Instead I found myself working in a firm that did and does tax law. Other than construction defect law, I can think of no other aspect of law which would make me want to kill myself more quickly. Even though I was unpaid, I was working 50 hours a week and living way out in the Valley which wasn’t very conducive to getting drunk on Sunset every night.

After about a month of this, I was done. I really wanted no more. One of the partners took pity on me and said that his wife owned a public relations firm and that they needed someone for an assignment that upcoming weekend. Basically it was a film festival of some type in Palm Springs. Yeah, I know, Palm Springs in the summer. Hot, but it was better than sitting around a backyard with my friend’s parents as they argued about the proper way to play bridge.

All I thought I was going to be doing was directing the press here and there and everywhere. Instead I spent almost 72 hours getting an education like I never though I would experience.

I was replacing someone who had an audition of all things and so could not be at the festival. Because it was last minute, and lots of persuasion, I got the job. I still keep in touch with that partner and his wife who was talked into the job by her husband.

Anyway, it turns out my job was to make sure that this multiple Academy Award nominee made it to where he needed to go. Although this A list film actor was well known, and had been nominated when I met him, he was in a kind of quiet period in his career.

From the whispers and hints and innuendo the reason for his career gap was a lot of drug use and also some serious anger management problems. I never saw the drug problem firsthand, but there was definitely something going on with my charge because he would get this glassy eyed stare and would mumble for an hour or two straight. He was speaking English, but it was so low and he mumbled so much that it was impossible to understand unless you concentrated completely and were standing 2 inches from him. Of course when you did that, you were subject to him suddenly going ballistic and screaming at you for being in his space.

For much of the previous five years I had been around more musicians than almost anyone. I had interacted with some really small guys in a van to guys on a world tour with 200 employees. But honestly, nothing prepares you for spending the weekend being a gofer for a guy who was this f**king big, in an acting sense. Not a tall guy in real life. For most of the first day I just walked around in a sense of look who I am with and being a kiss ass and feeling a little self important.

I’m not ashamed of it and if I put you in the same situation you would be the same. Now, I don’t get that way about anyone really. But, I can still recall that feeling when I met our actor if I try hard enough. I can still feel the stomach jumping and me telling myself to not screw anything up.

Most of the time my job was to shuffle our actor around to interviews. Instead of having the reporters all come to one place, the way it worked was actors and actresses had times they needed to be at a certain hotel or event and they would spend 5 or 10 minutes with a writer or photographer.

This was kind of the year before our actor hit it big again. You could sense it though. He had not done much, but the film he was there talking about paled in comparison to the questions of what he was about to start filming. One right after the other for about a year.

There were limos some of the time, but most of the time it was a hotel courtesy van and one of the biggest cell phones you ever saw glued to our actor’s ear. Apparently he could mumble into the phone and people could understand him.

If you ever have wondered where I got into the tipping thing, it was that weekend. Our actor would fill me with his life’s statements. At the time he had no children, but he was feeling paternal I guess and so in one of his life lessons he told me that you should tip everyone who does you a service including hookers. Those were his exact words. He always tipped the van drivers a $20 bill. Always. Even if it was the same guy there and back, the driver would get a $20 for each of the trips. $20 was his favorite bill. He had a stack of them and he always seemed to have more. When I went to his hotel suite to get him one morning, he had me grab a stack from the top of the television. There were about 100 of them in a stack, and he had four or five of them on the television. He just left them there all day and night. When I asked him if he was afraid they might be stolen, he asked me if I had seen his films. I said I had seen some of them. He said people had a hard time discerning real life from film and that he had no fear at all that someone would steal from him.

He was invariably polite to women but didn’t seem interested in flirting. Women would fawn over him and he would smile and be nice, but as soon as they were gone, he turned the switch off and he would go back to mumbling.

As far as his anger management issues, they were numerous. His favorite way of showing displeasure in food which he did twice over the weekend was to drop it on the floor, plates and all and ask if anyone had a dog, because he sure as hell wasn’t going to eat it. But, his dissatisfaction with the food never carried over to the server even if they got his order wrong. He always left a huge tip.

He told me that people only remember certain events in their life and that if he left a large tip, invariably that would be what people remembered about him ten years after meeting him. They would think he was generous even if he wasn’t, and the sliding the plates off the table would be recounted as humorous rather than obnoxious.

Judging by the results of future relationships he had with women, I’m not sure they ever saw the humor in his anger issues. Although he never yelled at anyone we met during the weekend, he would yell and curse constantly in about half his phone calls, and then mumble into the other half.

I remember the same morning he had me grab the stack of money he had about ten pairs of shoes lined up and to me they were all the same color and all had lifts in them. I could not tell them apart, but he literally spent twenty minutes looking at them closely before he decided on a pair. If he had a good day he explained he would keep wearing the same shoes. If he had a bad day, he would change shoes, but would try and find the next pair that would bring him good luck. I say good luck, but I get the feeling that what he wanted was a good day not filled with drama.

As the weekend went on, he became more comfortable with me and so he began to yell at me. Apparently he enjoyed being yelled at back which I did when I felt he was mistaken about something. He didn’t like people to shrink from him, and seemed to revel in the confrontation. I would never have thought of myself capable of yelling at him when I first met him, but it kind of came naturally.

One of my favorite things I took from him that weekend was that no matter what you are doing in life as long as you are excited about waking up every morning and not looking for an excuse not to get up, or do what you have to do, then you have succeeded in life. You should never feel miserable about something you can change. Great advice, which I still follow to this day. With that advice and the $2000 tip he gave me for the weekend, I found myself a place to share with about four other people for the rest of the summer and did what I wanted to do. Listened to some great bands at night and had an incredible summer.

I ran into our actor about ten years after that, and I really didn’t think he would remember me, but he did, and actually saw me before I saw him. He came up to me, and gave me a hug and then started mumbling something about his shoes. Seriously.

They were attending a function at a hotel and had another person walk in to the hotel ahead of them and advised the employees that they should not speak to or attempt to speak to the reality stars. If possible, they should also try not to directly look at the reality stars. When you think about how these people got their fame, this behavior is mind boggling. Meanwhile, an A+ list mostly movie actress who I love was also there and talking to everyone and taking photos and laughing and having a great time. She also came alone.

Lindsay Lohan Gets Reality Show - Oprah Gets Interview With Lindsay

If you thought every interview Larry King ever did with a celebrity was a butt kissing extravaganza, you might want to set your DVR's for when Oprah interviews Lindsay Lohan. Never known for asking a followup question or doing anything or saying anything that makes a smile go off a celebrity's face, Oprah is interviewing Lindsay Lohan in exchange for Lindsay agreeing to do a short reality series for OWN. Both the interview and the reality series will have no basis in reality. They will not show anything as it is in the life of Lindsay Lohan. Oprah will ask a question to Lindsay and accept whatever answer she gets because Oprah is the worst interviewer on the air since Larry King went off it. Atleast every once in awhile a morning show talking head is sick and some replacement asks a question before they are sent off to Fargo to do house duty at Josh Duhamel's mom's house waiting for him to come home once every two years so they can get a photo.

The thing is there will be tons of people who believe whatever answers Lindsay gives Oprah. If Oprah asks Lindsay if she has ever done drugs and Lindsay says once when I was 18, Oprah will just nod her head and move on. If Oprah doesn't challenge it, then it must be true right? The interview is a waste and all it will show is that these celebrity fluff pieces that Barbara Walters made famous pre-Oscar telecast still exist and that they have a torch bearer in Oprah. I don't understand why she would do it except for ratings. It is going to make Oprah look horrible because all of us who read tabloids will know Lindsay is lying and Oprah won't care.

I could go off all day about this interview. Oh, and as for the reality show, it is going to be a way for Dina to get the rest of the kids in front of the camera. Oh, and church. There will be church. Family meals. Lindsay speaking to a group of kids somewhere. If anyone watches this show for anything other than a quick look, it is as the principal in Billy Madison said, "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

A few years ago I had a blind item which detailed how this A+ list mostly television actor had a thing for kiddie porn. It ruined his marriage. Although he tries to fulfill his fantasies in a safe and legal way with people who are of legal age, it is not always easy when he has to deal with someone close to him who also shares the same kink, but has actually been arrested for molesting a child. I know it is unlikely because of how things are arranged, but it does scare me that both of them have access to kids on a regular basis.

I Don't Care About North West

Apparently someone is reading about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby North West, but it is not me. When I see headlines that rival the size of the end of World War 2 just to let me know that Kanye and Kim and the baby take naps together, I start to question the sanity of people. It is not just the reporters, it is the people reading the stories. The tabloids know which stories you are reading and if a Kim Kardashian baby story is at the top of the list, then it is going to be up to some intern to come up with some other angle to talk about with North.

These are exclusives I have seen in the past two weeks.

Kim only bottle feeds

She wants to, but after a publicist sat in with her during one interview it was decided to not let her do any unless they are essential and already booked. She has trouble putting sentences together for very long and looks more like a zombie than a star.

Amanda Seyfried Has To Be Sexually Attracted To You Before She Will Date You

In the new Elle, Amanda Seyfried gives an interview in which she is promoting her new movie Lovelace. Remember when Lindsay Lohan was supposed to star in that movie? Yeah, that was when she still had a flicker of a career. Anywho, because the movie is about sex, I guess all her interviews will eventually talk about sex, and specifically her sex life. In the interview, Amanda had this to say about who she dates,  "Everybody I've dated I've been sexually attracted to immediately. Sparks don't grow—your vagina doesn't become more inclined to wanting someone just because you're around them."

I think there is a lot of truth to that, but I also think that you can meet someone and not be sexually attracted to them and that it can grow over time to the point where you do become sexually attracted to them.I'm not saying you were dating them while not being attracted, but just because you are not instantly attracted does not mean there is no hope. Unless you are Paris Hilton. No way anyone can truly be sexually attracted to her.

Jason Wahler Attempted Suicide Multiple Times

Former Hills star, Jason Wahler gave an interview to In Touch this week and in it said he had tried to commit suicide multiple times. I remember him admitting he was an alcoholic, but I don't remember anything about him attempting suicide. He said, "I tried taking my life multiple times. About four years ago, I took more than 10 Antabuse and was rushed to the hospital. It should’ve killed me." I have no idea if that would kill someone or not. Perhaps some of our medical professionals could advise. I think it is great that he is opening up about it. I think now he can help others who are also feeling suicidal. Wahler says he has been sober for three years now.

Superman Is Single Again

It took less than two weeks for Henry Cavill and Kaley Cuoco's relationship to go bust. By my count it was 10 days. You know, I think that is probably a good thing. Ten days and they had several dates. They seemed to be into each other, but better to end it now than in a few months when someone is more likely to be really attached and get hurt more. Of course their spokespeople say the pair are still friends, and why not, they really did not move past that stage anyway. I think Henry is going to get back with his ex. I do get the feeling looking at this photo that Kaley was way more into Henry than he was with her. Just a guess.

Bengals Cheerleader Beats The Dirty

For the time being at least, former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader and convicted sex offender, Sarah Jones has won her defamation suit against Nik Richie and the dirty.com. Jones claimed that two posts on the site defamed her. Specifically, one which alleged she had sex with every member of the Bengals and the other which alleged she had two STD's. She said those posts caused her mental anguish. They probably did. The underage kid she had sex with might need some therapy down the road too. A jury awarded Jones $338,000.

When Richie appeals the verdict, which he will, the award will probably be set aside. The Communications Decency Act is what Richie relied on during his case, and it says that comments from third parties that is published on sites is protected speech and that the publisher should not be held responsible. If this verdict were allowed to stand, then every single comment on every single website would have to be moderated or verified before allowing it to be posted.

Leah Remini Is A Supressive Person

Leah Remini has confirmed that she has left Scientology. At one point in time, she was thought to be the fourth or fifth highest ranked celebrity in the place, so that is saying something. It all went wrong when she decided to ask David Miscavige where his wife was when Tom Cruise got married to Katie Holmes. That question put Leah on the fast track to five years of thought modification. She says that, combined with the forced separation of families is what finally got her to leave. Here is my one criticism of her for this. During that five years period where she was being out through what she calls misery, she was still publicly a huge supporter of Scientology and had fundraisers and contributed tons of money, and convinced other people to join. What about all those people who she convinced to join who have now given up their life savings and are stuck or might possibly lose their families. She should have bailed right when it happened.
