Why?

"Frank Sinatra was arrested by the Bergen County, New Jersey sheriff in 1938 and charged with carrying on with a married woman (yes, you could get popped for that back then). The charge was later changed to adultery, and eventually dismissed."

I must say, Whitey Bulger looks rather dapper.

You are correct! His description reads like a personal ad!:


Bulger is an avid reader with an interest in history. He is known to frequent libraries and historic sites. Bulger is currently on the heart medication Atenolol (50 mg) and maintains his physical fitness by walking on beaches and in parks with his female companion, Catherine Elizabeth Greig. Bulger and Greig love animals and may frequent animal shelters. Bulger has been known to alter his appearance through the use of disguises. He has traveled extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, and Mexico.

Whitey's talked about a lot around here; he kind of has a Jimmy Hoffa-type mystique.

Liza of course

Here's my favorite part: "Gest has endured hospitalizations, an MRI and a CAT scan. It says he's under doctors' orders not to travel, and to keep his pain in check with 11 prescription medications"

Oh and this: "Since their split, the two have taken to opposite coasts, with Minnelli mainly keeping to Manhattan, and Gest reputedly hanging at Jim Nabors' Hawaiian estate."

Oh my god! ( I hadn't heard that!)

He should leave poor Jim alone and go move in with Rush!

Actually, it's pitiful.

What an article!

What's the deal with Liza marrying Gay guys anyway?

Ahh, I've always liked Liza.
