New York Post Cover On Enquirer & Jeff Bezos  Amazon Owner Jeff Bezos is claiming that the National Enquirer head David Pecker tried to blackmail him about his affair and threatened to publish with nude photos. Bezos,titled his post "No thank you, Mr. Pecker ," shared what he said was an email from AMI's chief content officer Dylan Howard, in which Howard threatened to release intimate and personal photos and text messages of Bezos and a woman the National Enquirer said he was having an affair with. Nothing is below David Pecker and The National Enquirer. I know them both very well having worked on stories for many years before Pecker brought the Enquirer, The Star, The Globe and destroyed the magazine business in America.  He even screwed John Kennedy Jr on a high end magazine called George. After only a handful of issues of George Magazine which John Kennedy Jr. was very involved with, Pecker pulled the plug. This was a very traumatizing event In ...

Donald Trump Will Only Listen To Russian Putin STORY BY JAMES EDSTROM -- Really, where on this map below does anyone see that we need a wall? But today at 3:30 he will say America is in danger from this caravan and his base will scream " build the wall". He will declare a national emergency with false dangers and lies if he does not get his way. His base will believe this lunatic. This is the only way out for Trump. He dug himself into a corner. Donald Trump is no match for Nancy Pelosi. He degrades women. So Trump will announce a emergency because of this fake caravan danger and because Pelosi is not going to stand for this grandstanding and fake promises. NEW YORK ALWAYS HATED TRUMP Most of us here in New York City have always hated Trump because he was always this way. Others that hated him, now kiss his ass because they are rich and Trump makes them more rich. He is also getting advice from a few of my media friends that no matter what, will defend a...

  James Edstrom & National Enquirer's Mike Walker Richard Johnson With Mike Walker & Geraldo Rivera We are hearing today from several friends that National Enquirer legend Mike Walker has died. Mike Walker came from the old time school of Gossip reporting. Mike checked his facts and hit the streets to get a story. When you made a deal with Mike, there were no contracts, no paper work, there was just a handshake or a agreement on the phone and Mike Walker kept his word.  Mike Walker had a book signing a while back and afterwords a few of us went out to dinner at Bobby Vans in Times Square.  We had a fun evening talking old times and gossip. In the 80's and 90's I was on many television shows with Mike Walker. It was always such fun listening to his style of reporting that only Mike could deliver. RIP MIKE WALKER!
