    I know I am a FAIL because I don't get how blogs make money. Ad networks and Google AdSense? I don't even know what that means.

    LOL. I immediately love this magazine. "He looked elegant in his tuxedo and scintillated on the screen."Really? So he physically emitted sparks on the set? Would have loved to have been there to see that.

    "He had a very full life and was able to reach the top of his profession at 35."

    The top? I never heard of this effin guy!

    @Ken Green: Every single time you have sat with chums in a diner and heard any one of them chirp, "Head 'em up! Move 'em out!" you were unconsciously channeling the lesser known but greater younger brother of Ian. He is the unacknowledged zeitgeist of the twentieth century western aura. Do you think you would even know of a Clint Eastwood without his sage sagebrush Seneca?

    Patricia Binns is my new favorite Hall of Fame fameball.

    As evidence of her accomplished journalistic career, she scanned and posted online a letter received in 1997 from some intern in the office of Diana (the deceased princess), denying her an interview request and telling her very politely to bleep off.

    Binns lovingly captioned the image, "Letter from Diana."

    I love this woman.

    @snugbug: the "Press" part of the magazine's website is an "interview" with Ms. Binns and is COMPLETELY CLASSIC. recommended reading for all: [www.citylivingmagazine.ca]

    from the jumbled recollections of her childhood bouncing around to various relatives, to her thoughts on supermodel "Janice Dickerson's" new book, to a detailed explanation of how she uses astrology, reiki and "energy" in her life and work, this is a million-word glimpse into a truly bizarre mind.

    I have never heard of, or seen, this 'magazine', and I buy approx 8 magazines a month from various locations. I do like the publishers photo, very " Warhol Death Mask".

    Haha. When you see anything this terrible, you immediately have to read the weakly-written accompanying article. And when you start reading, you always want to skip to the end, to the terrible mishmash of words desperately trying to find a conclusion (which, in my time writing articles, I have also been guilty of, so...).

    And true enough, the end of the article brings some truly majestic turkeys:

    "I do believe the piranhas consumed the body. What an unpleasant end."

    "Eric Fleming had a lot of challenges to overcome to achieve the success he did accomplish." (oh, he achieved what he accomplished did he? that's great.)

    "You wonder what Eric Fleming did in his life to deserve such a horrid demise." (oh yikes. wow)

    And the utterly, utterly, laugh-out-loud, completely amazing:

    "Fleming looked at the blackened sky and said to Menardos, "it’s now or never!" Those were Eric Fleming’s last words."

    OK, am I missing something. Has the alien kid/kid from the future hiding out in the present Anytown, America, already been done to, I don't know, a million little pieces. Give me a few minutes and I'll come back and name at least 3. Challenge. Whoever wins get's to shave James' chest a la Richard and style his hair like Zac Efron.
