Kelsey Grammer Takes the HEAT, Again


Ahh, those Jersey girls. They are something. Even New York girls, who say they are Jersey girls, are all that and a bag of chips, too. Duh, think Snooki and JWoww.


In the 2004 underperforming flick, Jersey Girl, the phrase line, "He wanted it all...but he got more than he bargained for" is prophetic. Prophetic, that is, for the liver lipped Kelsey Grammer.

Kelsey, of Frasier fame, met his Jersey girl in 1996 at an MTV party. Camille Donatucci was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1963. She has performed as an exotic dancer, has worked as an escort and she has appeared in Playboy magazine (some 15 or so times).


In addition, she has done film work. Not surprisingly, she has appeared nude in notable films including Private Parts, Deconstructing Harry and Bedtime Stories with Marilyn Chambers. (The Ivory Snow Girl)



Camille Grammer is the kind of woman, who can make men slap their lips together in a rhythmic cadence, just by walking into a room.


It's no weakness on Mr. Grammer's part that he took the heat after coming into her zone. Married in 1997, the couple issued 2 children in '01 and '04, respectively. Well, creatively issued. They used a surrogate? Conjecture surrounds that decision.

The Grammers, in their day, joined forces to raise awareness of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.


The Cam-ster suffers from this malady, seen more commonly in women by a gender ratio of 3:1. Common symptoms include bowel blasts of diarrhea, problematic constipation (sometimes weeks of retention), stool mucus, bloating and distention, increased gaseousness, and pain. There is no known cause and no known cure.

Their days are now over. Ms. Grammer nee Donatucci has filed for divorce from the balding towhead. Grammer, a native of St. Thomas (USVI), as it turns out, has taken the heat again. Having impregnated new friend and lover, Kayte Walsh, the man with the smooth and deep voice, announced his engagement to her on December 28, 2010. Sadly, Kayte lost the baby, but it is an odds on bet she will provide the star of the perennially re-running shows, Cheers and Frasier, his fifth offspring. (Hmm, Kayte will be wife #4!).


Kelsey Grammer has a parasuicidal habit of a NO PRENUP POLICY. Since he has no current premarital agreement to shield assets, it is likely he will pay the former hip grinder, Jersey girl Camille, molti soldi*. He offered, what he considered, a fair amount of $30 M. The Garden State bred Donatucci so much as laughed at the comedian. She wants $50 M and some oddsmakers say, "Book it!" (It is rumored that Kelsey-Kayte PDA'd a little more than Camille could stand, prompting her to go for the fictional psychiatrist's Cowper's glands.)

Somewhat surprisingly Grammer has declared he will not INSULT Walsh with a PRENUP request. Whaaaattt?? Has the man learned nothing? Inasmuch as he is more active than a dipstick jockey in a Jiffy Lube Oil Station, there's only a minimal chance the comely Katye will be his last plunge into the abyss of love. A seer would "see" a #5 and a #6 and more, until he dies, one way or the other. Yet, as of now, he is going in with Ms. Walsh "bare". Perhaps the flood of infatuative endorphins cause Mr. Grammer to behave like a, well, like a man in heat.

So, as this saga moves forwards, fans of Grammer can only hope he, himself, doesn't develop Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Stress can bring it on, and bring it on some more. Undoubtedly, though, he is rich enough to afford Camille's fleecing. And, moreover, his fans can draw some solace from the fact that Katye was born in California. And if you don't know about California gurls, watch this.

Don't Mess with Christine O'Donnell


Christine O'Donnell is getting hammered. For whatever the reasons, she stirs passion. Most political losers merely dry up and blow away. Some stay with the game, run again and get elected. All in all, just part of the civic process. For those elected, though, the pot of gold


is realized. Poor Chris, somebody has the hots for her. And that would be "hots" in a bad way. Joe Biden?


Federal authorities have launched a criminal investigation to determine whether failed U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell broke the law by using campaign money to pay personal expenses, according to a person familiar with the investigation.

O'Donnell, the Delaware Republican and tea party favorite who scored a surprise primary victory this year only to lose badly in the November general election, denied the charges and suggested they were being driven by her political opponents on the right and left, including Vice President Joe Biden....

O'Donnell, who set a state record by raising more than $7.3 million in a tea party-fueled campaign this year, has been dogged by questions about her personal and campaign finances.

At least two former campaign workers have alleged that O'Donnell routinely used political contributions to pay personal expenses including her rent as she ran for the Senate three consecutive times, starting in 2006. She acknowledged in a newspaper interview in March that she paid part of her rent with campaign money, arguing that her house doubled as a campaign headquarters....

O'Donnell called the allegations politically motivated and singled out Biden, who represented Delaware in the Senate for decades....

"Given that the king of the Delaware political establishment just so happens to be the vice president of the most liberal presidential administration in U.S. history, it is no surprise that misuse and abuse of the FBI would not be off the table," she said in the statement....

O'Donnell, who announced just after Election Day that she had signed a book deal, hasn't held a full-time job in years and has struggled to explain how she makes a living.

She reported in July that she earned only $5,800 in income for the previous 18 months through freelance public relations work. She said she lived mostly on a savings account that she reported in an amended Senate disclosure report as being worth between $1,000 and $15,000.

Her financial past includes a tax lien from the IRS, a lawsuit from the university she attended over unpaid bills and a foreclosure action that she avoided by selling her house to Vasher just before a sheriff's auction. Her campaign maintained the tax lien was the result of an IRS mistake and computer error....

"We've been warned by multiple high-ranking Democrat insiders that the Delaware Democrat and Republican political establishment is jointly planning to pull out all the stops to ensure I would never again upset the apple cart," O'Donnell said in her statement Wednesday. "Specifically they told me the plan was to crush me with investigations, lawsuits and false accusations so that my political reputation would become so toxic no one would ever get behind me."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/29/christine-odonnell-investigation_n_802368.html

Considering the degree and extent of corruption in ALL levels of American government, O'Donnell


could hardly be considered even a bit player. She's lacks the perspicacity and eloquence to "make" big money. Face it, she's is far from the sharpest tool in the shed. With all due respect to her appeal and popularity, she is an inconsequential blip on the oscilloscope of shady gains.

So why bother with her? So what if she paid her rent from her campaign funds? Does anybody really think the politicians in the main aren't playing creative accounting with their campaign contributions, declared and undeclared? Of course they are. Of course they are.

Christine, somehow, someway gets the juices flowing. Is it because she has good hair, everywhere? Is it because she dabbled in withcraft? Is it because she is attractive and young enough to appear fertile? Is it because she is like most Delawarians and like most Americans. Hmm. They, too, are struggling to pay their rents, mortgages and credit card bills.

The USA is in a bad way. With a tanking economy and a lousy production base, there is no confidence and swagger left in the red, white and blue crowd. Some would argue that Americans are a bunch of whiners and complainers, who have lost their mojos. O'Donnell makes her fellow countrymen feel better about themselves because she is, well, her. She is just like them. To put it another way, are most Americans like Joe Biden or Barack Obama or George Bush (either one) or Michael Bloomberg. Ha, not likely.

So, if the Feds decide to pursue Christine, it will amount to nothing. In fact, the publicity and sympathy will make the erstwhile femme more well known and more appealing-for her next run for office. All things considered, Christine O'Donnell is a pussy


with nine lives for whom the pot of gold beckons. Never doubt feline witchcraft.

State of Snow Politics


In New Jersey, State Sen. President Stephen Sweeney, serving as acting governor with Gov. Chris Christie and Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno out of state, declared a state of emergency Sunday night and ordered that government offices open two hours late Monday as the digging out commences.

In Monmouth County, N.J., snow drifts of up to five feet contributed to stalling a passenger bus on the Garden State Parkway, where snow plows were having a difficult time cleaning because there were so many stranded cars cluttering the ramps, state police spokesman Steve Jones said. Ambulances couldn't reach the bus, and state troopers took their own water and food to the bus to give to people who were feeling ill, he said.

The state police's superintendent, Col. Rick Fuentes, toured parts of the state in a four-wheel-drive vehicle to assess the conditions of the roadways and pleaded with people to stay home. Jones described the conditions, particularly in the East Orange area, as "terrible" and said they were causing safety hazards.

Officials begged motorists not to go out. Many didn't. But those who did found the treacherous roads to be slow-going — or worse.
http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local-beat/The-Great-Blizzard-Dig-Out-of-2010-112495969.html


Indeed the state of NJ called the emergency card. Understandable, what with lots of snow, ice and wind. Curiously the good Governor Christie, who is becoming more like a political hungry hyena, is in Florida. On vacation. Lucky for sick residents of the Garden State that he is not a surgeon.

Understanding that he has presidential ideation, his Disney gambit is going to haunt him like a bi-curious dalliance. "What was/is he thinking?" Why didn't he hot foot it back to his state and take control of the "emergency"? Further it is impolitic of him to leave the control of New Jersey to Mr. Sweeney, a political opposite. "What is he thinking?" And why is Kim Guadagno


in Mexico? Shouldn't she be home when the Chris-meister isn't? Didn't CC name her the Lieutenant Governor? A better name for her might be the Left-town Governor.

Maybe the lawyer out of Seton Hall


is already looking beyond New Jersey. Considering his timber and timbre, he will bring a lot to the Oval Office, once he wins the presidential campaign in 2012. He and Mary Pat will be able to go world wide and do what they like to do. Just give them the keys to Air Force One. Wheee! Wheee!

The snow storm has put some other pollies in a bad spot. Chris Chris ought to call Mayor Bloomberg. (What's with those lower teeth?)


The wealthy and detached Gotham exemplar is getting some heat, too. But to his credit, he stayed in NYC, even if he has been unable to clear the snow. One wonders how Rudy would have fared with the white stuff?

Facing whithering criticism for the slow pace of blizzard cleanup, a defensive Mayor Bloomberg asked New Yorkers to be patient and warned that plows still might not reach every street within the next 24 hours.

"We cannot do everything all the time and we are doing the best we can," said Bloomberg at a briefing in Brooklyn, which he called one of the hardest hit boroughs. "We are trying to get to every street as fast as we can and as safely as we can."
"I'm angry too," he said in response to the growing frustration of New Yorkers whose streets remain buried.

The mayor ticked off a variety of reason for the slow response: the heavy winds, a shortage of tow trucks and private plows, motorists abandoning their cars and blocking streets, ambulances mired in the snow by trying to drive down blocked streets, and people jamming 911 with non emergency calls.

And don't forget Philadelphia's Mayor Michael Nutter.


He has the distinction of being in charge when his city cancelled the Eagles game because of the snow. Damn snow! Sadly for Nutter-Butter, he was in the wrong place at the right time.

Let it snow, let it snow...

Oh, not all politicians have come up short with the snow storm. Corey Booker


has been digging residents out of the snow. Literally. The Mayor of Newark, New Jersey is reacting to Twitter calls for help. He has even delivered diapers to a family in need. Mr. Booker is a Democrat and he has made some political hay. The Republican Christie ought to take note.

E cosi va.



Oh No, Snow, Game Cancelled



Now that the hyped, stretched and bodacious east coast snow blow has ended, back to sobriety. Americans do make a big scrotum out of everything. OK, OK take judicial notice of the DEEP, DRIFTING and the HAZRADOUS HIGHWAYS (byways, too), the slips, falls, heart attacks and mangled snow blower hands.


(Photo of Brooklyn, posted on Twitter by H Blodgett)

There is one blizzard related event, though, that must not, will not be forgotten. Philadelphia has solidified itself as a city of WEENIES.

By allowing the cancellation of the Sunday night NFL PHL Eagles-MN Vikings game, the bro-lovs, the soft doughy pretzel and artificial cheese steak munchers are the laughing stock of the entire USA. If the game had not been prime time, 8 PM Sunday, and if Mike Vick wasn't the best player in the league, the Billy Penners might have not been as widely reviled. But alas!

Now, now. Be aware, Philly fans were already at Lincoln Financial Field and were sent home, unhappy and tuned. Be aware, the players on both sides wanted to go. And be aware that the decision to pole axe the game to a stoooopid Tuesday night slot was made higher up the administrative food chain. Lastly, if it were really up to the Eagles fans, the field would have been cleared and the game would have been settled. Don't EVER sell fans anywhere short, but the Iggles rank and file are, indeed, a special breed. Nonetheless, THEY, the fans, will forever be jibed as being milquetoast for THEIR game cancellation.

Sometimes life isn't fair, but...

Crystal Harris, Hef and The Wedding



Back Together//// June12012

Those crazy kids, Hef and Crystal, have tweeted they are baaaack together. Fitting that it was a tweet duetto, inasmuch as they both tweeted away during their courtship and near miss. Rock this -> Love springs eternal. Hef is eternal.

Getting back together with Crystal Harris shouldn't be a big surprise, since I have a history of remaining close to former girlfriends.

Yes  and I are back together. Yes I am his  girl again. Yes we are happy. Hope that clears up any confusion! xo


THE WEDDING IS OFF!!!! June 14, 2011

Hugh Hefner has been dumped. The 85-year-old Playboy founder was set to tie the knot for the third time this Saturday with girlfriend Crystal Harris, 25. But TMZ reports that the wedding was nixed after the couple had an argument last weekend that prompted Harris to move out. Hefner confirmed the news on Tuesday, tweeting: “The wedding is off. Crystal has had a change of heart.” http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-sheet/item/hugh-hefnerrsquos-wedding-is-off/single-lads/

HEF'S TWEET TRACK JUNE 14

The wedding is off. Crystal has had a change of heart.

I told the guys about the breakup Monday night & they were very supportive. We watched the doc "Say Goodbye to the President. " Powerful.

Crystal's "Club Queen" became available on iTunes today. I hope it's a hit.

The breakup is a heart breaker, but better now than after the marriage.

Since we're not getting married on Saturday, I've scheduled a movie: "Runaway Bride." Seems appropriate.

Bridget Marquardt came by to give me her loving support. Very dear

Crystal took Charlie with her when she left & I really miss him.

The TMZ report that Crystal & I "had a nasty argument," prompting her to call off the wedding, is untrue. There were no arguments.

My ex, Kim Conrad, & her mother, came by to lend their emotional support. I appreciate it.

Recent events call for a special sticker on the July cover. Look for it on newsstands.


Barbi Benton called to offer her emotional support, along with a lot of former girlfriend & Playmates.

Holly came by to wish me well. The outpouring of support & affection from so many quarters is really touching.

Crystal did an interview with Ryan Seacrest this morning to explain everything, but I still don't have a clue.

I didn't see any of this coming, but I'm glad things went wrong before the marriage instead of after. Live & learn.

The one who has been the most supportive is Anna. She didn't see this coming either, & she's Crystal's best friend.

THE WEDDING IS JUNE 18, 2011



The envelope features a stamp with the bride and groom, while the invitation, written in black ink and scattered with pink rhinestones, reads:
"Crystal Harris and Hugh M. Hefner request the pleasure of your company at the celebration of their marriage."
The ceremony will take place at 6 p.m. at the Playboy mansion. Reception and dinner will follow, according to the invite, and semiformal attire is requested.



With the 2010 Christmas Twitter announcement


of Hugh Hefner's engagement to Crystal Harris,


the May-December polarists have again been poked into action. Some folks just can't accept the fact that old people can romantically hook up with young people. Well, the Hefner-Harris giggety-giggety stretches the age differential to the UPPER limits...60 years! Yikes!!

Hefner 4/9/26
Harris 4/29/86



Getting over the notions of stale on fresh, wrinkled on smooth, rotting on alive, dry on wet, decrepit on limber, ad nauseum, there are good reasons why their relationship can work. Both parties have much to gain from each other. What more can a relationship offer than results in which both parties are better for the union?

Crystal Harris
Crystal Harris
Ms. Harris is another in a long string of prized polo ponies Mr. Hefner has squired. Looking back over his memorable stable, the women all begin to look the same, absent a few minor characteristic variations like height and hair color. Just take a look at a few:

Sondra Theodore
Barbi Benton
Shannon Tweed
Karen Christy
The quintessential playboy has been married twice. His first wife was Mildred Williams, a student he met at Northwestern. Their 1949 union yielded 2 children, Christie* and David. Here's Mildred and Hef,



History repeated itself with Hugh's (63) second marriage to Kimberly Conrad (28) in 1986. And again, 2 children, Marsten Glenn and Cooper Bradford were issued.





Maybe it's all a stunt. After all, the pater familias of Playboy is most certainly "walking the walk" with his latest gambit. Hef gives old men hope. Alternatively, maybe it's not a ruse. Crystal might really want to be conjugal with the erstwhile Mr. Hefner. Without any proof, it would be safe to say that the smoking jacket man must have some repertoire of tricks in his bag. Tricks or no tricks, will she be able to keep the lights on? No matter what, Ms. Harris has managed to gain a degree of fame. And she looks like a nice girl, too.



UPDATE: Crystal twittered a picture of her engagement ring. Hef is a classy guy when it comes to hardware.



The wedding date is set for June 18 at the Playboy Mansion. Crystal is busy planning her dress, the cake and her prenuptial Playboy spread**. She is favoring a pink Romona Keveza, strapless with silk organza rosettes. Indeed!




E cosi va...

* Hef and Christie
** Just sayin, how about a Playboy spread titled The Women of Hef? Better yet a collector's edition. Bet that would sell like hotcakes. Men of all ages would want that...

Snowstorm, Temporary Insanity


Janice Smedley, head covered with a towel, appeared as if she was wearing a hoodie. Her upper falsies were hanging low as she grimaced in pain. It looked as if she had giant Chiclet teeth. A broken left hip can cause anyone, even the most vain, to lose her sense of propriety. Too bad she lost the fight, but really...

Manny Arturo Gutierrez, with his hands held behind him, looked like a criminal as a porcine pair of EMT's rolled the octogenarian from Mt. Ephraim past him. The brick layer was cuffed. He, too, was a Mt. Ephraim-ite. In fact, the odd couple live only two blocks apart. Sad.

Both Janice and Arturo have a shared malady. As a result of their lack of intestinal lactase, both of them evacuate their lower plumbing post haste after ingesting dairy. Consequently, they use lactase supplements and they both use Lactaid milk. Yabba-dabba.

Lactaid is a milk product that is made especially for people who are lactose intolerant. Lactose is a simple sugar found in regular milk. It's broken down by lactase, an enzyme found in the small intestine, and absorbed in the blood as a source of nourishment. However, some people do not produce lactase in their body. Therefore, drinking milk can cause digestive upset. Consequently, they must drink milk that is free of lactose, such as lactaid milk.
http://www.ehow.com/about_6390931_lactaid-milk_.html

The two of them, Janice and Art, were early to rise on the day after their Lord was "born". The Pathmark on Mt. Ephraim Avenue was already jammed up when they both hit the dairy aisle at 9:02 AM. The cooler was nearly empty, the milks had been ravaged. Truth be told, there was little inventory to start with. Deliveries were missed yesterday, what with the celebration. By the time Manny reached for the last half gallon of his special milk,


the knobby osteoarthritic fingers of Smedley's right hand had a hold on the waxed container.

"Lady, that's mine, let it go."

"Up yours, melanzana, buzz off!" she spit out.

A tussle, which lasted 15 seconds, ensued. The 70 inch tall, 200 pounder easily took the milk carton from the old woman, who weighed less than 8 stone. (A stone is an imperial measure, about 14 pounds. Janice, whose father Reggie was born in London, has always described herself in stone.) After pulling the milk from her hand, Gutierrez yanked the osteopenic Janice to the linoleum floor. Thud, ooooh, pregnant second, yeeeeoooww. Smedley felt at that moment like a freshly branded steer.

Here's what set them off. Their frenzy to gather THEIR milk and bread (too) was fueled by Accuweather.

Travel will become nearly impossible from Philadelphia northward as the all-out blizzard ensues late Sunday into early Monday morning. Those planning to travel on Interstate 95 during this time run the risk of becoming stranded for a time.

Airline passengers across the mid-Atlantic should prepare for cancelations Sunday. The best time to travel to and from southern New England Sunday will be during the morning, since conditions will deteriorate later in the day.

Fierce winds following the storm will keep whipping the snow around, threatening to cause more flight cancelations and poor travel for motorists.

The corridor from Salisbury, Md. to Philadelphia to New York City to Boston to Portland will be faced with roughly 18 hours of heavy, wind-whipped snow.

The worst of this monster storm will slam the Delmarva during the day on Sunday, Philadelphia and New York City Sunday afternoon and night, and Boston Sunday evening into Monday morning.

Fierce winds following the storm will keep whipping the snow around, threatening to cause more flight cancelations and poor travel for motorists.

Once Janice was loaded up in the meat wagon


to be taken to the emergency department at Our Lady of Lourdes, Officer Simmy Jackson


walked to his Crown Vic with Arturo in tow.

"What were you thinking, man. She's like a 100 years old?"

Arturo, whose parents and relatives hail from Hispaniola, replied, "She called me a name."

"What name?"

"I dunno. a name, a mellencammpo, er, something with melons.."

"So what?" queried Jackson.

"I was insulted and I lost it."

"Yessir, you lost it, alright. You better hope the lady doesn't die or sue you or file an assault and battery against you..., how ya gonna argue it was ok to fight with HER?

As he sat in the back of the patrol car, Arturo shook his head, slowly, back and forth. He was coming to terms with his stupidity. What was he going to say to his wife, Merasol? "Sunny" Reyes Gutierrez was going to kick his butt.

Suddenly, he yelled through the fence separating him from Jackson, "MELANZANA, she called me a melanzana!"

Jackson laughed. He volleyed back, "Dude, eggplant, she thought you were an eggplant!" Jackson was familiar with the term.

"Well, well... you sure about that?

Still laughing, Simmy added, "And you're light skinned to boot."

As the first frozen precip hit the windshield, the Vic's wipers began to slish-slosh back and forth. Both men were silent as the sobering force of nature began to grip them. In their own way, each knew that the threat of a snowstorm is a cause of temporary insanity.

Umm, Simmy looked at Arturo in the rear view mirror. Without words, without knowing it, they had come up with a defense. Temporary insanity caused by threat of bad weather. Indeed!
