I'm inclined to believe it was a debt/dead mixup. Some 22 year old overzealous pup reporter probably overheard a conversation and rushed it to print. Makes for good comedy I guess, "I said DEBT you idiot!"

Stel-la!

Old age and a broken heart will kill you.

No.

Keep in mind, also, that it's a holiday weekend and the parttimers are likely on duty early.

That generation is slowly passing away; we're next.

South Park Republican?

Assuming this is a error in reporting, it's pretty funny. I sent a tip to Drudge.

[The G Man]

You spelled "yes" wrong.

TV people get stories because someone calls them. If you know the person in the right place at the right time, ?...

[marshmallow]

Nothing about this anywhere.

You know that the networks have these items made up in advance so they can post them more quickly when the actual day arrives? This may have been a goof by somebody.

There was a case a year or two back when the death of a celebrity was inadvertantly reported-can't remember who, Reagan maybe??-and it turned out that some technician had pressed the wrong button.

No, but hell no. Top Ten? Yes, but hell yes.

He went off on everybody and was grabbing King's finger and then giving King the finger - classic.

[VadeRetro]

This is taking too long to be real. Expect the usual "... reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated" denial.

[Quick1]

Networks have obituaries and such ready to go so they can post them more quickly. This is a 3 sentence article telling us that he died, not his obit. Doubtful that this was made up early.

Oh sure there are non-Jews in power positions--prolly now more than ever...but that's not what I or anyone else says. But again, to deny that every single major studio has been and continues to be overwhelmingly managed at the highest level by people who are descendants of the Tribe of Abraham is beyond absurd.

Here's one modern important example: Katzenberg, Geffen and Spielberg.

Now, I am not sure why my co-religionists get so upset when these facts are brought up. We Jews do ourselves no good by denying reality and then getting an attitude about it. My answer is that Jews must have the unique combination of talent and inclinations to be successful at making movies. Genes? Environment? Combination of both? Hebrew school? Who knows? But it is what it is.

He did a superb job in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." The whole film is absolutely riveting and his performance stands out.

Reacting to Marlon Brando's comments on "Larry King Live," on Friday, April 5, that Jews run Hollywood and exploit stereotypes of minorities, but never of Jews, Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:

I wonder how Foxman reacted to Jackie Mason, the Jewish comedian, who supports the notion that Jews own Hollywood. A few years ago, Mason reminded us it was Jews who had recently immigrated from eastern Europe at the beginning of the last century who created a film industry in Hollywood. According to Mason, the Jews now own about 60 percent of the movie business, down from the early days. So what says Mason if Jews own most of the film business. What's the big deal.

[Slings and Arrows]

Still nothing on Drudge, Fox, CNN, or ABC. I strongly suspect that somebody goofed.
