Thora Birch, grabbing some din-din at Al Biernat's restaurant down from the chic Melrose hotel. Looking vogue in a black Betsy Johnson dress, T.B. was in the Lone Star State to promote the Deep Ellum Film Festival and Cinema Fighting Cancer/The Cancer Relief Fund. Also cruising around the joint was Mr. Jilted for the Money...

Rob Campos, sipping some cocktails and chatting up several local ladies. Still looking for that special someone, ya think? The For Love or Money reality romper was laying low in his hometown on this par-tick night.

NCS: Thanks for reminding me to mention that on Tuesday night at Doughboys on Third Street, sitting a few tables down from me and the Mrs., by himself, was none other than that venerable star of the big and small screen, Michael Rappaport. My s/o was bummed that I won by spotting him first, but I only got half a point because I mistook him for Ian Zering.

Ordinarily I would not care. However, Swarthy Girl conjures up images of heavy moustache and armpit hair, which totally kills the pleasant memories of all the strippers I've enjoyed.

I don't mind the private cryptic conversations, but when you turn into a buzzkill, then something has to stop. BTKISDM

Wasn't he in Beautiful Girls (I think that's the movie title) with Matt Dillon and Tim Hutton (and Rosie)?

Last time I was in LA, I went to a party attended by David Spade and Melissa Rivers (on the night that her divorce was final). I'm sure there were several 20-something minor celebs there too, but I'm too old to recognize them. Also saw Alicia Keyes at Sky Bar. And many many guys wearing camoflage jackets and trucker hats. Ugh.

I would allow Queen Rania of Jordan to strip for me.

Indeed he was. That is one of my favorite all-time movies. Tim Hutton, torn between trying to rack it up with Uma Thurman and keep his perspective in a sweet, young-love, innocent relationship with the pubescent but oh-so-precocious Natalie Portman.

It's the perfect night-in-with-the-Mrs. video. If you can avoid getting too obviously entused by Uma's hooters and making pervert jokes about Natalie, you're guaranteed to get some post-flick nookie.

She's not swarthy. She's just exotic.

Far be it for me to attempt to decode the Penske-Slave discussion, but I think Swarthy Girl was only swarthy because she called Penske swarthy (nnttwwt), not because she is swarthy herself.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't know a single person who has known of an auto alarm stopping an auto theft (and by marriage I know a lot of cops). The problem is that they are in every fucking car and they go off so often that people ignore them. Think about it, you sit in your office and hear a car alarm and it isn't like you go rushing out to see if it is yours -- or do you? And unless there is a cop lurking nearby, a thief who is spotted/heard can simply cast onlookers that bewildered look that says "I don't know why my car alarm is going off." When I was younger, I had some friends who were in the business of selling car stereos that, um, weren't technically their property to sell. They used to "take delivery" of their new merchandise with the car alarm going off some times and were never once caught. Stick with the factory stereo or one with a removable face plate and do not leave anything of value in your car and it won't be broken into.
Cars are stolen for one of three reasons:

1. Joyride -- This normally only happens to idiots who leave their cars unlocked and/or the keys inside. It should, by law, happen to every asshole who leaves his convertible top down in a parking lot -- not cool.
2. Parts -- The more common your car, the more likely it will be stolen for parts. Also, air bags are still a big business and you can net up to $500 or more per bag but you have to know what you are doing.
3. Eastern Europe Bound -- Mainly SUVs. Your Escalade is out of the lot, onto a flatbed and in a cargo container on a ship to Ivan the Terrible before you can blink. Oh yeah, OnStar can be disconnected like that <snap> and don't let them tell you otherwise.

Your best bet? LoJack. LoJack has its own backup power supply and is mounted in different places on different cars and all of them are hard to find. LoJack pays if your car is not recovered.

Oh yeah, just remember that if your car isn't located within an hour or so you don't want it back anyway.

Looks like Port Authority Police Officer John Verdi may be in a bit of trouble for his appearance. His superiors don't like that he went on the show and told the world he was a PAPO without asking them...and even worse is that those homosexuals flounced about in his uniform.

Trust me folks, cops take this "integrity of the uniform" shit seriously. Hell, my hubby even goes home from work and changes into "civvies" before running to the store to get beer for me -- of course, he might just be afraid that someone will recognize him when he is carrying Bud Ice Light.

PageSix interviewed his boss who said that he loved it and it was good publicity.

No, you must sledgehammer the people, not the cars.

Sledgehammering the cars would be too noisy. Sledgehammering people would have no effect on my eardrums.

You mean I drove all the way to Worcester to recover a piece of crap car that the thieves didn't even bother to strip for parts for no good reason?
