Everyone Needs a Dr. Feelgood….
…and it isn’t Dr. Conrad Murray. There are serious questions about why this cardiologist did not know how to properly perform CPR that could have saved Michael Jackson’s life. And why was there a half-hour delay before 911 was called? And who was that person who made the call? From his continued use of the word “sir,” I would guess an employee of the household who was being directed by Murray, who was...

Let’s see….UC Merced got Michelle Obama, and UCLA gets actor James Franco. Well, not any more. Looks like the handsome, successful actor got bounced out of the primo commencement speaking gig June 12 by some students who resented the fact that he just graduated, and hasn’t really done anything with his degree in creative writing.

Funny how Donald Trump took about five days to “decide,” milking this thing for all it...
Mannywood: Hall of Shame
Dodgertown now knows what Beantown was bitching about. All that bad behavior=’roid rage. With the news that Manny Ramirez has been suspended for 50 games, until July 3, a lot fewer people will be streaming through the gates at Chavez Ravine, and that’s got to be very troubling for the powers to be, who are probably thinking up new marketing plans right about now.
