And what about Abe Vigoda.

Abe Vigoda is very much alive. I saw him recently do a cameo in a program or a commercial.

Abe Vigoda is also not a gay, though I got this from another source I cannot remember at the moment and not "The E True Hollywood Story: Barney Miller", or "The E True Hollywood Story: The Godfather". However, his character in "The Godfather", Sal Tessio is, in fact, dead. He was "whacked" on the order of Michael Corleone for attempting to arrange a meeting with Don Barzini at which time, Michael was to be assassinated. I have no evidence, however, that Sal Tessio was a gay.

spooky(although Tessio did tell Tom to let Mikey know "he always liked him", take that FWIW)fish.

I did too. I think that Steve Martin's joke about a montage for people who you think are dead, but are not, was specifically timed to occur right before everyone saw that no, Jack Palance is alive and kicking, if not pushing up.

Alternatively, the Disney people lent out one of their animatrons.

I too have seen E! True Hollywood Story: Hollywood Squares and Spooky indeed speaks the truth.

. . . he may then very well be the greatest of the actors who are paid to pretend in the history of Hollywood: An non-gay actor who pretended to be a gay IRL and a non-gay in his acting roles at a time when most gay actors were pretending to be non-gays. because there were no roles in Hollywood for gays in television and the movies in the '60's and '70's.

Gullible. He was only acting when he acted as though his false acting gaity was an act. In fact, it was no act - it was acting. So, stop berating me, don't try to deny that you have now mentioned the name of Charles Nelson Reilly over four times just today, and try to focus on someone or something else - it's becoming unhealthy.

Thank you, Mrs. Tex Lex, since some stubborn people cannot be convinced that Paul Lynde was, in fact, a gay and not acting as a gay.

Apropos of, um, interestingly enough, the makers of "The E! True Hollywood Story: Hollywood Squares" did not spend much time discussing the biography of the host of the original (and best) version, Peter Marshall.

In spite of the fact that he was born, Pierre (or Peter, if you prefer) LaCock, there was no indication that this native of Huntington, WV was a gay, thus proving Mr. Grinch's initial theory. I imagine Mr. Marshall may have changed his name not because of any potential stigma related to being a gay, but rather because he anticipated that many non-Hollywood-type Americans, like Mr. Bilmore, might eventually bear some malice toward people of French descent.

In fact, Mr. Marshall is married and has a son, Peter (or Pete) LaCock who was also a well-known major league baseball player for the Kansas City Royals in the 1970's. I do not know whether Mr. Peter LaCock Jr. was or was not a gay, as very few major-league baseball players have told other people whether they were a gay or not. In addition, because they do not produce "E! True Hollywood Stories" about professional baseball teams, the world may never know how many of their sports heroes are, in fact, gays.

And, as I mentioned before, Mr. Bilmore, I acknowledged that you had far greater knowledge of CNR's career than did I. Perhaps you have something you would like to share with the rest of the board? Since there will not likely be an "E! True Hollywood Story: Mr. Bilmore Baggins, Esq.", this may be your only chance. It's okay, Mr. Bilmore, you are among friends here.

Fuck, and TM thought my Michael Jackson obsession was unhealthy....

Have to disagree on the Bogart thing. The original Sabrina (the movie) was better than the remake because the original Sabrina (Audrey) was perfectly cast and even the lovely Juliet Binoche could not benefit by comparison.

I thought that Bogart was miscast in Sabrina -- he seemed too old, ugly, and cynical for the young, delicate, full-of-possibility Audrey. I just didn't believe she would go for him (his money and power aside). At least in the remake of Sabrina, Harrison Ford was hot. Before he got all weird and decidedly . . . Not Hot.

Both Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall complemented Bogart well on screen, perhaps because they seemed more womanly and worldly than Audrey. And to think Bacall pulled that off at 19 -- must have been the voice and the eyes.

I googled this. Peter LaCock is really his son's name. You would think after changing his own name, Mr. Marshall would not have subjected his son to the same fate. Middle school must have been hell, what with all the kids taunting him for the redundancy of his name.

You see, Mr. Bilmore, another believer. Not only would young Mr. Peter LaCock have had to endure the taunting of his snickering pre-teen classmates, but he also chose a virile and manly profession where, as I mentioned before, very few of its members have ever acknowledged that they were, in fact, gays. Imagine what Mr. Peter LaCock Jr. must have gone through at the hands of his fellow ball players, what with all the balls and the swinging of bats and box scores and such. Pure hell for someone who is not a gay or otherwise fixated on sex and penises. Yeah, thanks Dad, thanks a lot, you bastard.

On the other hand, he had a ready-made source of suggestive conversation for those awkward moments when you are first trying to get your date into bed.

The proper response is to graciously thank the birthday girl/greedy bloodsucking skankball for her surprising generosity in inviting all of you out to dinner, and discreetly turn your attentions elsewhere while she, as she should, pays the entire bill.

Posthumous conceptions strike me as morbid and creepy. I think I'd rather just let everyone think I was a tart.

I was recently invited to a "Hey I'm moving" party thrown by a guy for himself.

I like him, but could not attend a party thrown by someone in honor of himself. I felt like I'd be contributing to him turning into a loser. Parties in one's honor should be thrown by others or not thrown.

As to using corpse sperm, well, how do people who get artificially inseminated at fertility clinics know their choice of father hasn't passed on since he fired one into the cup?

1) I don’t know anything about hotel packages because people who come to visit me stay at the luxurious guest suite at La Palace.

2) Everything I know about the ghost bar I learned from Real World. Seems like fun if you are into getting drunk, sticking your tongue down the throat of some guy you just met, taking him back to your room, then crying about really what a nice girl you are the next day.

People are talking about a new club at the MGM Grand called Tabu. Just opened last month, so my info is third hand. I am a big fan of House of Blues and the Voodoo Lounge. Of course, you can’t go wrong with the Hard Rock.

I was there in Oct, and the Hard Rock sucked. Especially the pool area (I'd heard amazing stories from 2000-2001). I was expecting thousands of hot girls. What I got was a (funny) Australian guy next to me commenting about how big American girls' asses are...

Anyway, from what I gather from your posts, Paigow, you would detest The Palms. It is plastic and, dare I say, white T ( in a Florida white t way)...Shaq was at the Ghost Bar when we were there and the line was a mile long. I'm not waiting in ANY line to see an athlete (unless they're playing a sport). Also, I'm 27 and I felt OLD there...

On the plus side, I played blackjack with Crazy Bill Frieder until about 9 AM...

The Dead Milkmen spoke of this same obsession:

"Up on the hilltop where the vultures perch,
That's where I'm gonna build my church,
Ain't gonna be no priest, ain't gonna be no boss;
Just Charles Nelson Riley nailed to a cross.
I don't piss, I don't shit, I'm gettin' no relief,
People shake there heads in disbelief.
GO!
Just me on a hilltop with 15 girls,
In a Nelson Riley orgy that'll make your hair curl.
I don't piss, I don't shit, I'm gettin' no relief,
People shake there heads in disbelief.
Yeah Charles Nelson Riley he's our man,
He can't heal the sick with the touch of his hand,
He can't walk on water, can't make wine flow;
Just another greedy actor on the late late show!
I don't piss, I don't shit, I'm gettin' no relief,
People shake there heads in disbelief.
GO!
Just me on a hilltop with 15 girls,
In a Nelson Riley orgy that'll make your hair curl.
I don't piss, I don't shit, I'm gettin' no relief,
People shake there heads in disbelief."

That appealing comment just killed any ability I ever had to imagine getting knocked up.

Sadly I cannot judge places to go based on plastic. this is freakin vegas and I cannot afford the four seasons. I also refuse to wait on lines to get into my drinking locale. thats just bullshit. And I hear Tabu is all techno so I would probably need a good dose of X to enjoy it NTTAWWT. I appreciate your input and LPs. Suddenly I feel like goign this weekend. I need some sunshine bad. The weather here is just unreal.
