Arnold Schwarzenegger "hasn't written his memoirs yet, but he granted three long interviews to veteran biographer Laurence Leamer, who, along with researching Arnold's personal history, interviewed his friends and political associates as well. The result--'Fantastic: The Life of Arnold Schwarzenegger'--is a close look at the man who rose from being an Austrian carpenter's apprentice to becoming leader of his adopted land's largest state. "Despite the cooperation Mr. Leamer received, his book is not hagiography. All his subject's low-life moments are presented, from his cruel jokes and harassing sexual overtures to his obsessive narcissim."--from a review "The Governor Is Still Pumped" by John H. Fund in the Wall Street Journal.

She says she would never use Trump's catchphrase, 'You're fired.' "'We are trying to come up with other ways to say it,' she says. 'For instance, if someone is from Idaho, I could say, `You're back in Boise for apple-picking time."'" --from an Associated Press article at yahoo.com.

At
tvsquad.com, Deidre Woollard writes about last night's televised
premiere of the new "reality" show I Want to be a Hilton: "I
wanted to like this show but it seemed that rather than showing the
contestants how to enter the good life, the editing was done to make the
aspirants as foolish as possible. Kathy Hilton, while charming enough,
doesn't seem to really be able to connect with her charges or to be
genuinely interested in their progress."
I agree, but I admit that I found the show so boring that I was not able to give it my undivided attention. Most of the contestants are "walking cliches," says Being Awesome. June 21, 2005

article by Robert W. Butler in the
Orlando Sentinel.
