    Tatiana's husband, Max Hoover, he certainly won't be a stranger to Judge Laura Taylor Swain if he appears by his wife's side in court. In 2006, a longtime business partner of Hoover's named Chris Kosachuk sued him for defrauding him and denying him profits from the company they started together, Good Energy. (The lawsuit is here.) The lawsuit was later dropped after the parties reached an out-of-court settlement, although Kosachuk's claims are suspiciously similar to those made by Natasha Boncompagni against Tatiana.

    "Tatiana and Natasha both graduated Edina High School in Edina, Minnesota where, one of their former classmates tells us, neither woman went by the name "Boncompagni." Both were known by the name Schneiderman-the last name of their father-and it wasn't until they both became adults that they started using "Boncompagni," their mother's maiden name. By the time Tatiana had morphed into a fixture on the New York social scene (and started bragging about those $1,000 haircuts), she'd changed her name legally as well as picked up the fanciful tale that her mother is an Italian princess."

    Tatiana Boncompagni is actually very sweet and intelligent. She may hang out with awful celebutards, but she is not one herself. I've actually read her first book and it was quite enjoyable as chick lit. I'm very sorry she's embroiled in this mess with her sister, but I'm sure she'll get through it with grace and poise.

    So! Get to work.

    Oh, argh. This is just stirring up memories of that complete DICK Philip Roth who, in case anyone wonders, completely stole my series of novels based on my middle-aged Jewish alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman, by getting me drunk on Harvey's Bristol Cream, removing my typewriter ribbons, and transcribing them. God, I hate him.

    I read this in the Post yesterday but I stopped at the part where they said one of them was living at her parents home...in DETROIT! Poseurs, all of them.

    At last count (no pun intended) per Burke's Peerage (Italy) there are over 7,000 Italian princes, 8,000 Italian princesses, and 100,000 other counts, contessas, and other wanna-be royal claimants in ROME alone. Playing up one's tenuous connections to Italian royalty is like saying your're related to Britain's royal family because your middle name is Elizabeth.

    Surprised Smails isn't here offering to have sex with both of them. Not that that would solve anything, but I'm guessing he'd do both of them.
