**** KATHY POSNER'S CHICAGO POINT OF VIEW **** George Clooney With a crucial deadline to fix the state’s $12 billion budget deficit looming, Illinois Senators found time to vote and pass SB 1335 by a vote of 51-4. This important piece of legislation proclaims bowling shoes as “specialized footwear” and will help shield bowling alley owners from lawsuits that might result from bowlers who slip and fall because their bowling shoes got wet when they went outside and then came back into the bowling alley.This bill will allow bowling alleys to post signs throughout their building that bowling shoes should only be worn inside the alley. By having the warning signs, if a bowler goes outside and accumulate rain or snow on their bowling shoes it will not be the legal responsibility of the bowling alley owner if the bowler slips and falls inside the alley.The bill awaits Governor Quinn’s approval.“It helps [owners] not to have to deal with negligent bowlers who go out to smoke or have wet fe

Courtney Love Hole singing star Courtney Love is slamming back at a $350,000 lawsuit filed against her by bosses at the credit card company American Express, accusing them of allowing fraudulent transactions to be made using her account. American Express claims the rock icon charged up the bill on her Gold card and has refused to pay it off, but Love's lawyer has fired back, and is insisting his client has been battling the charges for months, because she didn't spend the money.

AmEx's law policies allowed fraudulent transactions to be charged to my client's card."Keith Fink, Courtney's lawyer, also tells TMZ that 104 AmEx credit cards were taken out under Courtney's name or the name of her business -- and that all the charges attributed to Courtney weren't made by her.

MICKY DOLENZ IS STILL THE TEEN IDOL ICON

Image
David Salidor With Peter Noone, Micky Dolenz, Mark Lindsay, And Keith Girard We were the first to break news that music icons MICKY DOLENZ, MARK LINDSAY and PETER NOONE would be touring the country this summer as the original TEEN IDOLS. Their debut show out at Westbury Music Fair was nothing short of terrific, with the three bounding onstage together and breaking into The Beatles' “I Saw Her Standing There” ... amazing enough, their voices blended terrifically as they traded off the verses and sang together on the chorus. Lindsay was first up as a solo as he delivered spot-on versions of “Indian Reservation” and “Kicks”, two of the bigger hits that he had as part of Paul Revere and The Raiders. Interestingly enough, “Reservation” was the biggest seller for Columbia Records for almost a decade, selling far beyond six million units. It held that until someone named Michael Jackson came along. Dolenz came up next and delivered his patented sure-fire arsenal of Monkee-hits, especially

**** ALLEGED STOLEN OR HACKED E-MAILS MAKE IT TO GAWKER **** Mancow Erich Muller You know, It amazes me how low Gawker.com will go, including printing e-mails that were not intended for them, and most likely were hacked from someones computer. There has to be something illegal here. Well I guess I am not surprised, considering the things they have done to me personally in the past. Like the time I was in Marquee Nightclub in New York City with two waiters from my favorite watering hole Broadway Langans. They wrote a story with all my quotes all switched around, as well as mis-quotes and then wrote that I was hanging in the club with two 14 year olds. They tried to make me out as a pervert. Then there were the times they wrote such mean bad stories about New York Post icon Steve Dunleavy. Dunleavy has to be the nicest reporter there ever was, yet they picked and picked on this guys drinking. They failed to see Dunleavy's talent. This guy could write a story floating On the ocean. An

Below is a account written and alleged by one of our favorite celebrity photographers in New York City. He is alleging the waiter said " Get Out Of Here Faggot". You can believe it or not! **** The Empire Diner The other day I went to have lunch at “The Empire Diner” on 22nd street and 10th avenue. The restaurant was almost empty inside, and outside only one of their many tables was occupied. I decided to enjoy the chilly spring weather and elected to sit at a larger table rather than at one of the small tables crammed next to the trashcan and servers cart. On a day when the restaurant was busy I would never have presumed to situate myself a table for 4, however since there was plenty of tables available I thought nothing o
