Election endorsements

Election endorsements 12/17/2004 06:33 PM

My ex-colleague Jacob Kaplan-Moss has put together a fantastic site listing the presidential endorsements published by American newspapers in the run up to the election. I was looking for something like this just the other day so it was great to find the answer so close to home. I was depressed but not at all surprised to see my former employer endorse Bush, but it's interesting to see that of the four Kansan papers listed two endorsed Kerry, despite that state's huge Republican majority.

Profession: singer, actor, republican rep., pizza delivery man in congress member of the House Subcommittee on Copyrights and Intellectual Property

Status: introduced by Mimi Rogers; took some courses, says he's a roman catholic, not a scientologist (LA Times), but probably still in (used the word "enturbulate" in public around 26.4.1997)

He says in Esquire: "I openly studied scientology to the degree that they did some courses on ethics, and then said thank you and left. (...) The scientology - there was no cult thing there."

From drogers@huey.csun.edu (David D. Rogers): According to Corydon's book, he was quoted as saying: "My only sorrow is that L. Ron Hubbard left before I could thank him for my new life," in a full-page ad featured in several newspapers after Elron's death. died 6.1.1998

His widow, Mary Bono, has also done scientology courses

Achievement: Congressman (R), Palm Springs Mayor, Cher's ex-husband. Cher: "A politician is usually a null, so the job fits him". "The Progressive": (first mentioned to me in october 1995) "#8 on the list of 'The Ten Dimmest Bulbs in Congress' "Bono's mental shortcomings have long made him a subject of scorn among California politicians."

Rafat Ali calls it "the craziest story he's ever heard" - I agree.

But I also call it the smartest business model - ever. It's all about the content and that's why Rafat's blog is taking off - as he's talking about talking about the content.

Next best thing to Rafat's model - is Arianna Huffington's model. Just get enough names (or apparent names - condoned by the name) to spout off - on anything.

I'd advertise. It's gonna go viral. For sure.

I can hear Jason Calacanis right now - scurrying around calling up Schwarzenegger and Brad Pitt.

And the fact that they got Jason Kottke as their guru! No wonder Jason retired from whatever else he was doing.

He's being annointed the Blogger nerd God. I can just imagine Larry David, Gwynth Paltrow or Barry Diller - calling up Jason at 4 AM - from the site of some movie being shot in Tangiers....

"Hello Jason, it's me - Gwynth."

"What's a trackback - again? I still don't get it?"

The Return Of Celebrity VCs

The Return Of Celebrity VCs 06/15/2004 06:24 PM
During the boom years, when venture capitalists were the new rockstars of the dot com era, we began to see the rise of "celebrity VCs." It was especially popular for former sports stars to jump into the venture investing business - even if they had no real business background or knowledge. Most of these VC firms didn't get very far, especially once the bubble popped. Now, however, as business seems to be picking up again, it looks like the celebrity VC may be back. The latest to throw his hat into the venture investing ring is U2 frontman Bono, who is joining the newly created Elevation Partners to invest in media and entertainment businesses. The other partners in the firm (Roger McNamee, John Riccitiello, Fred Anderson and others) all have a bit more experience, so you have to wonder if the Bono move is just to get them some more attention as they launch - or if Bono will really be taking meetings up on Sandhill Road with startups begging for money. It's a little unclear from the wording of the article exactly what Bono's role will be. Either way, it appears that Elevation isn't starting small. The rumor mill suggests they're looking for their initial fund to be a billion dollar fund.

Celebrity faces as used-gum targets

Celebrity faces as used-gum targets 05/17/2004 06:11 AM
Gum-posters featuring celebrity faces are appearing in London, and locals are encouraged to dispose of their wads by sticking them up, rather than dropping them underfoot.

Londoners are being urged to stick their chewing gum on celebrity posters rather than dropping it on the streets.

Ealing Council hopes posters featuring Shane Richie, Jordan and Peter Andre among others will prove a more tempting target in Acton, west London.

Posters have removable sheets which will be changed six days a week to stop the gum building up...

It is estimated that UK local authorities spend £150m a year tackling the problem.

Getting Treos Into Celebrity Hands

Getting Treos Into Celebrity Hands 02/16/2004 02:51 PM
RIM started this with their Blackberry marketing program that tried to get the devices into the hands of specific people who would influence others, and Danger followed up doing the same thing with their Hiptop. Now, it appears that PalmOne/Handspring are going all out in making sure the rich, famous and (most importantly) well connected are carrying Treo 600s wherever they go. Maybe this explains why almost everyone is completely sold out of the devices - they're all going to people who are better connected than you or I. The article paints an interesting picture of the process of getting free stuff if you're rich and famous. Basically, you see one of your rich and famous friends with some cool gadget, and then you call up the company requesting your own. Even though you've got more money than you could ever know what to do with, the company then sends you a free one (or more, if you want...) so that you'll be sure to show it to your friends, and all those piddly little normal people will drool over it and have to go out and spend their hard-earned money on one themselves.

Sunday night celebrity countdown...

Sunday night celebrity countdown... 03/13/2003 10:16 AM

Being a brief list of the celebrities that I've come into fleeting contact with over the last month or so. The gentle reader is expected to bear in mind that said celebrities are unlikely to be of the stature of your major Hollywood Oscar winner, since most were spotted milling around Covent Garden, Soho or Piccadilly Circus...

• The guy with the hair from the Salon TV show.
  For the Americans among us, The Salon is a reality TV show set in a hair and beauty establishment (allegedly just off London's shimmeringly glamourless Shaftesbury Avenue). The gentleman I spotted from the show was strolling down towards Piccadilly Circus one late-winter's evening, with a few passers-by taking pictures of him. He looked slightly dumb-founded and as if he was rather enjoying it.
• Matt Lucas, TV's entertaining man-in-a-baby-suit.
  Matt Lucas (alias "What are the final scores?" George Dawes) went to the same university as me. In fact he not only went to the same university as me, but he went at the same time and was friends with a couple of friends of mine. But I barely new him, and so didn't feel an urge to reintroduce myself to him when we both found ourselves stuffing our faces on nearby tables in the Leicester Square Kentucky Fried Chicken. Some poor, rather dumb-looking chap tried to get an autograph, but clearly it wasn't an appropriate time.
• The quite-cute-one-off-The-Office.
  Celebrities are clearly intrinsically grumpy people. I go to this hair place in Soho, and have done since I worked at Time Out. I always knew that it used to be cool, but I'd never seen an actual living celebrity in there before. Today was different, however. Because Martin Freeman (who plays the nice one from the Office) stomped in eager for hair-rescue. The only unfortunate thing about this encounter is probably that he's not really known (primarily at least) for the quality of his haircuts. In fact maybe a bit anti-known. So in a sense him coming into my hair place probably isn't the best sign of my continued style.
• Stephen Gately.
  The anaemic butterfly in bizarrely successful prefab pop-group Boyzone somehow managed to defy nature by becoming a weird fat caterpillar-like non-solo-star. But that was then - as the other day my work colleagues and I spotted the bad-skinned and newly-skinny, tiny pop-singing, proto-West-End-starring Joseph-in-his-designer-stressed-denim while on our way to a nice little restaurant in Covent Garden. He kind of had that look on his face that Chandler got in Friends when he came into the room with his new Tom Selleck-alike moustache. Only scarier and much less good-natured. We avoided him. And maybe pointed a little.

So there you go. My last month's celebrity encounters. Anyone spotted anyone more interesting?

Hollywood Celebrity Murder Trial Deja Vu

Hollywood Celebrity Murder Trial Deja Vu 03/25/2005 08:57 AM
“LOS ANGELES - Actor Robert Blake was acquitted of killing his wife four years ago because the state simply didn’t make its case, jurors said, citing flimsy evidence and a pair of unbelievable witnesses.” A famous celebrity is arrested after the death of his wife in a much-publicized case. The actor (I guess he is still acting. I haven’t seen him in anything in twenty years) was arrested to the accompaniment of many television cameras….

Infiltrator's account of Scientology
Celebrity Center 05/07/2004 03:35 AM
Harmon Leon is a guy who specialises in infiltrating odd places through impersonation, then writing hilarious accounts of his deeds. His infiltration of the Church of Scientology's LA Celebrity Center is a classic:

[W]e go to a fancy, roped-off office on the first floor. There's a large desk, a book shelf, and a lot of pictures of boats on the wall.

"And this is L. Ron Hubbard's office."

"The actual office used by L. Ron Hubbard?" This is like being in Jesus' room.

"No. Each Scientology center has an office for L. Ron Hubbard, decorated in a way he would like it."

"Oh, so the office was used when he was visiting, ya?"

"No. He died before this hotel was refurbished."

Someone should mention to this lady that dead guys don't need offices. Especially an office built for a dead guy after the dead guy is dead.
