STEVE WILKOS NEW YORK CITY ADVENTURE

Steve Wilkos tapes Access Hollywood outside Rockerfeller Center

If you have not seen the new Steve Wilkos Show, you have to tune in and see what you are missing. This show is hot ! Wilkos came to New York City the other day to do a interview with The WB's hottest entertainment reporter Jill Nicolini. I tell you, not only is Wilkos going to be a huge star, Nicolini is heading right up the ladder. She's smart, good looking and just a all around nice person. Watching her interview Wilkos was a insite to what good reporting should be. Tune into her on the WB morning show in New York. She's a treat !

Well after leaving the WB I realized we should have taken a taxi. We had the worst limo driver ever. This guy picked every packed street and it was Jewish holidays so the city was half empty. We were only heading up to Rockerfeller Center 16 blocks away and it took a hour. This guy was the worst, but when we arrived at NBC studios Wilkos got bombarded by fans who have watched him for ever on The Jerry Springer Show. Access Hollywood did a on street interview which was hard because of all the fans that wanted autographs. But Wilkos not only signed for them, he gave them all autographed pictures and posed with pictures with them as well. This is the way celebrities should act. Anyway, we decided that if we took the limo to The New York Post right across the street, it could take weeks so we decided to walk. This driver was out of it. Every time we went back to the limo, he was asleep. At one point, Wilkos told me to drive. I would have if I had a license. That expired many years ago, as I take subways everywhere.

One last stop was everyone's watering hole 'Broadway Langans' to see Ace Reporter Steve Dunleavy drink his lunch. Dunleavy is always good for a great story and I wanted Wilkos to meet him. As always, we had a lot of laughs. Sadly, I always hate to see Public Relations powerhouse Linda Shafran who handles Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos leave. Was even sadder trusting that limo driver to get her to the airport. So if you haven't seen The Steve Wilkos Show, tune into today and see the new top show on TV !

TIMES SQUARE IS ONE BIG GARBAGE PILE

Steve Dunleavy is amazed at the garbage

We love New York City, but lately the tourists have bombarded the city with their filth. Everywhere you look, Times square has garbage overflowing from the cans. Broken glass is in the streets with garbage stacked up everywhere. We caught up with our favorite ace reporter Steve Dunleavy from The New York Post outside Dervish restaurant on 47th street upset about the stacks of garbage on the sidewalk that made it almost impossible to walk between his favorite watering holes Dervish and Broadway Langans. Said Dunleavy," Look at this. The garbage is everywhere. This is disgusting. I'm amazed the city lets this go on. The city isn't cleaning up. I'm doing a story!" Dunleavy is right. We pay the highest rents in the world and the city ignores the people that pay high taxes and live in the heart of Times Square. The quality of life sucks here but they keep telling us how great we have it. We don't ! The streets are packed with tourists, the supermarkets are the worse and we have to live with dirt and litter everyday. Yet New York City wants more visitors but refuses to clean up after them. Pretty soon Times Square will be just like the old days, all we need is the hookers again which I have been spotting lately on 43rd and 8th, so the downfall of Times Square is coming !

SIRIUS LESBIAN RADIO STAR PREGNANT

Drill Sargent 'IRIS' Derek Hartley Romaine Patterson

Well I thought I had heard it all in my years in this business, but the other night shocked me maybe just a little. When Lesbian radio star Romaine Patterson of the hit Sirius Satellite radio show, 'The Derek And Romaine Show' called me and told me to come to the studio Friday night, many things went through my mind. First of all it was wierd her calling me because these days shes been building a Lesbian Love Nest with her Lover Iris 'THE DRILL SARGENT' and Romaine has been so bad at returning calls, I just thought she went to Lesbian Limbo.

Many things went through my mind. First thing was that they were going to play a joke on me as they have done that in the past. Second thing was that someone was leaving the show or they were moving to a new time slot. Third was Romaine or Drill Sargent Iris were having a baby, but I quickly threw that out of my mind.

As I left my watering hole Langans where I was drinking with NY Post's Steve Dunleavy, I arrived at Sirius Radio and went through the 20 minute security checkpoint downstairs and another one upstairs I finally make my way to the studio for their announcement. Romaine is 17 weeks pregnant ! The Lesbian shock jock was giving birth in July and she was telling her listeners she was going on maternity leave soon, but wanted them to go through the event with her. She invited her audience to follow her adventures on her new website www.PushRomaine.Com . At first we were pointing the finger at Derek Hartley because he would be the most logical choice to become the sperm donor, but Romaine quickly said that she went to a thousand dollar a month sperm bank and got knocked up the first time. She was beaming along with Sargent Iris, who I really like and think the world of since we partied a year ago on a cold Christmas day. They are the perfect couple and they are going to be great parents. Tune into 'The Derek And Romaine Show' and follow the adventures every day at 6pm EST....

LANGANS RESTAURANT NYC--WHERE THE CELEBRITIES HANG

My favorite watering hole where the burgers are great and the staff the best is Langans on West 47th street between 6th and 7th Ave. You can watch Bill O'Reilly, Geraldo Rivera and all the Fox News stars hang out with all the reporters from NYC including the famed Steve Dunleavy of the NY Post. I have had more adventures there and you always get some great inside gossip. Bartenders Eddie and Donald along with manager Kathleen and owner Des O'Brian make sure your stay is fun and exciting. Tell them I sent you!
