This Week's Gossip
New York City, the city that never sleeps. Last Saturday night I spent the evening again with Joe Black, a very clever and witty man, one that enjoys my company, but still is a mystery to me. He showed up beside me in the courtroom where I was watching the arraignment of Joseph Alnarshi.
The surprise this week was the FBI raid on a building near the Brooklyn Docks. A fierce gun battle ensued and Matthew Reez and two of his thugs were killed in the attack. One FBI agent was wounded in the shoulder, but he's recovering in a Brooklyn hospital. My sources tell me that this was the result of some information received from Joseph Alnarshi in a plea bargain where Alnarshi will spend five years wearing an electronic ankle bracelet and living somewhere out west under an assumed name. The FBI often offers situations like this in their Witness Protection Program.
I played Mirands Hobbes in Rachel's Tuesday night play in the Creative Arts Theatre. It was a fun night where I got to trade barbs with Tim as Ted Baker. Dami played Samantha as usual and Doni took the role of Mike Singer. This was the Sex and the City show where Carrie Bradshaw, played by Rachel, posed for a sexy photograph that now rides around New York City on the side of a bus. If you see the one we saw, somebody drew a penis in a very nasty place, one that Carrie will be embarrassed with for months.
Saturday night I had the privilege of watching Rachel and her new lover boy, Jon Bon Jovi, sing a duet. Endless Love. I have to admit they pulled that off quite well and got a nice round of applause from the dinner crowd.
I met an attractive young lady named Vinny at the bar during that performance. No, I didn't try and pick her up. She seemed more like the "straight" type, if you know what I mean.
Upon arriving home I went straight in my favorite chat room, The Pleasure Palace, and such a good time I forgot about getting this turned in before the Sunday morning paper deadline. That's why it's only in the Sunday evening edition.
Entertainment
This Tuesday night, July 31st at 10:00 pm ET, the Off-Broadway Creative Arts Theatre will be offering Rachel Tatellio's version of Will & Grace - The Object of My Rejection. I'll be there in case she needs me to cover a role.
