Retiring GOP Senator Thompson Weds
Sat Jun 29, 8:49 PM ET
By JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Fred Thompson ( news, bio, voting record), a star of Hollywood movies and real-life political dramas, played the leading man again on Saturday. This time it was at his own wedding.
Taking a big step toward life after politics, the retiring Republican senator married political and media specialist Jeri Kehn in a small, private ceremony in Naperville, Ill.
Thompson, 59, has known Kehn, 35, since they met on the Fourth of July in 1996. The couple is departing this weekend for France for a honeymoon.

Sad news this morning...
SINGER ROSEMARY CLOONEY, 74, DIES
LOS ANGELES (AP) . Rosemary Clooney, the mellow-voiced singer who co-starred with Bing Crosby in ``White Christmas'' and staged a dramatic comeback after her career was nearly destroyed by drugs and alcohol, died Saturday. She was 74.
Clooney died shortly after 6 p.m. at her Beverly Hills home surrounded by her family, her publicist said. She had been hospitalized earlier this month after suffering a recurrence of lung cancer. [snip] Link
JUST CALL THEM LOUSY WRITERS By JARED PAUL STERN with PAULA FROELICH and CHRIS WILSON
RICK Moody, Toni Morrison, Don DeLillo, Annie Proulx, Cormac McCarthy and most of the other sacred cows of contemporary American letters are boring hacks who use complicated writing to conceal the fact that they have nothing to say, a controversial new book charges.
In "A Reader's Manifesto: An Attack on the Growing Pretentiousness in American Literary Prose" (Melville House), one-time Atlantic Monthly writer B.R. Myers claims that a vast conspiracy between corporate publishing houses, mediocre writers and mindless reviewers has robbed the nation of good, meaningful books.
Morrison's Nobel Prize in literature, for instance, doesn't impress Myers, who relates an incident in which Oprah Winfrey called Morrison "to say she had had to puzzle repeatedly over many of the latter's sentences. According to Oprah, Morrison's reply was, ‘That, my dear, is called reading.' (bwhahahaha, oh that's rich!) Sorry, my dear Toni," Myers declares, "but it's actually called bad writing." [snip] Link
MORE LIZ SMITH
WENT TO a swell lunch for Tina Brown at the Fifth Avenue apartment of Reba White Williams. It's always nice to go somewhere where someone is giving something for - no reason! Just fun and friendship.
Tina was celebrated by a clutch of handsome "girls in their summer dresses," including Diane Sawyer, Erica Jong, Karenna Gore Schiff, Joan Ganz Cooney, Marla Prather, Marie Brenner, Manuela Hoelterhoff, Jeanine Pirro (What no Chelsea and Hilly?!) and other charmers and fans.
The guest of honor looks like a new woman (She does? Looks to me like she's morphed into Hillary! Let's hope that's an old pic.) since she shook off the shackles of editing Talk, a magazine that the all-knowing, all-smirking publishing world never gave a chance. [snip] Link
Warning! Warning! Barf Alert!
Separated at birth? I report, you decide!
PAPA BING TOSSES LAWSUIT IN TRASH June 30, 2002 -- Hollywood producer Stephen Bing - recently pronounced the papa of Liz Hurley's baby - has settled another paternity-related feud with a fellow tycoon.
Bing sued MGM mogul Kirk Kerkorian, 84, in May, angry that a Kerkorian investigator sifted his trash seeking evidence that Bing fathered a child by Kerkorian's ex-wife.
The investigator found Bing's dental floss - which Kerkorian cited in court papers as proof Bing fathered his ex-wife's 4-year-old daughter.
This past week, the men plan to announce they've "amicably" settled their "outstanding differences . . . after getting to know each other and becoming aware of additional facts." Getting to know you, getting to know all about you....
Asked to elaborate, Bing attorney Marty Singer told The Post: "That's the only statement being issued."
Kerkorian has feuded with his ex-wife over child support.
Bing and Hurley have not resolved their own child support issues. She's reportedly seeking $450,000 a year.

Looks like Karenna is what Chels aspires to be - someone not terribly intelligent who never has to work for a living, who hangs on the fringes of literary and political society with no credentials, and who - eventually - will run for and be elected to office as part of her legacy and birthright.

More snide remarks from the media re the Bush twins:
Brainy Twin Will Try on NYC for Size
Start shaking those apple martinis, New York lounge owners. [????]
First Daughter Barbara Bush will be employed here as a fashion intern over the summer — and she's bound to work up a thirst. Barbara, 20, is going to work for Lela Rose, the designer who created the dresses that she and her twin, Jenna, wore at their dad's Inauguration. (Rose also dressed Sharon Stone and Ashley Judd.)
"Fashion has always been something that has interested [Barbara]," a Bush pal tells New York magazine.
The still underage Yalie is sure to be closely watched if she slips into Lotus, Lot 61, Trust or any other fashion oases around town. Especially after The Washington Post reported that she and Jenna went drinking at Stetson's in Washington on Wednesday night.
University of Texas student Jenna, the younger (and, perhaps, friskier) of the pair, is wisely steering clear of our tipster-infested town. She will soon head for Prague, which she visited in May with her mother, Laura, according to the magazine.
The First Lady's press secretary, Noelia Rodriguez, declined to comment on the girls' summer vacations "or anything else concerning them."
"They're private citizens," Rodriguez insists. "We ask the press to respect their privacy." But she did deny speculation by some reporters that Jenna is traveling totally at taxpayers' expense. Not true, says Rodriguez. "Some form of reimbursement [by the Bush family] was worked out. I don't have the details." NY Daily News.

Speaking of Chels, here's what she's been up to (also from the Ny Daily News):
Elton John and Sting had just the tune to warm up the bidding at the fourth annual White Tie and Tiara ball for Elton's AIDS Foundation: "Hey, Big Spender." Having trekked to John's sprawling Windsor estate, guests — including Chelsea Clinton and boyfriend Ian Klaus, Liz Hurley, Emma Thompson, Elle Macpherson, Ivana Trump, Denise Rich, Joan Collins, Nick Rhodes and Simon LeBon — obeyed.
Chelsea and the "beautiful people," a perfect fit.

But she did deny speculation by some reporters that Jenna is traveling totally at taxpayers' expense. Where was the press when the 'Toons were travelling around the world with their 1,000+ entourage costing us in the millions??????
BTW, are we STILL paying for Chels' security?

As far as we can tell, yes, we're still paying for the spawn's SS coverage. Apparently, she and Ian are sucking down strawberries at Wimbledon, even as we speak. Ah, the life of a so-called graduate student can be so grueling! (Funny, when I was
earning my law degree, I seem to recall actually
studying 'round the clock - no time for Elton John parties or tennis tournaments. Oh well.)

Chelz and Karenna appear to want to follow in the footsteps of the innumerable Kennedys who have been elected to public office, some of whom are dumber than a box of rocks (e.g., Patrick) but still get enough equally befuddled citizens to vote for them.
To: mountaineer
including Chelsea Clinton and boyfriend Ian Klaus, Liz Hurley, Emma Thompson, Elle Macpherson, Ivana Trump, Denise Rich, Joan Collins, Nick Rhodes and Simon LeBon Do you think there was a bit of tension there? Nah, Chels probably thinks it's sophisticated to cheat on your spouse.
