Geraldo's Nuptials
By Lloyd Grove
Washington Post

Mazel tov to 59-year-old Fox News star Geraldo Rivera -- who will wed his 28-year-old girlfriend, television producer Erica Levy, at New York's historic Central Synagogue on Aug. 10, The Post's Christine Haughney reports. "You can't be my age and getting married and not be an optimist," Rivera, the son of a Jewish mother and Puerto Rican father, told us yesterday. He noted that he had been to the altar four times previously and had four children to show for it. "I don't know, maybe there will be one more with Erica," he said.

He added that "hundreds of people" -- including Bill and Hillary Clinton, former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a top Palestinian official, the foreign minister of Afghanistan and various U.S. military commanders from Iraq -- have been invited to the Reform Jewish ceremony and the reception at the Four Seasons restaurant.

"I was not only bar mitzvahed; I was confirmed. But this is actually my first 'church' wedding, as opposed to some hippie thing in a back yard," Rivera said. "I'm making a conscious decision to take this whole Judaism thing seriously. I think the Jews need me right now."

NOTE TO THE FOUR SEASONS RESTAURANT: Check their coat pockets to make sure they aren't hording any dinner plates or flatware when they leave.

He noted that he had been to the altar four times previously and had four children to show for it.

That's something to really be proud of isn't it?

Geraldo is FOX's Jayson Blair...

[sine_nomine]

Lay off him. The Jews need him right now. I teach Judaism and I failed to mention Jerry once in the course. The new name of the course will be - Jerry Rivers: Jewish Leader for the New Millennium.

How does a young woman of 29 become a television producer? My wife had some ideas.

Geraldo will be wearing a lower waste truss at his wedding so as to conceal his enormus ----- which was rumoured to have been worn my the much more famous Frank Sinatra.

Roger Ailes is rumored to be giving the groom away (why not just fire him).

As Lenny Bruce said, "So reformed he forgot he was Jewish".

[PBRSTREETGANG]

I think the Jews need me right now.

The list of people he "thinks need him" versus the list of people who actually need him only vary by about 100%.

When I read the title, I thought he was finally marrying the only person on the planet he ever really loved.......

.........himself.

Imus had a good one this morning - his pack was going on and on about the Jewish/Puerto Rican mix, Imus said if Whoraldo and his intended had a baby it would be a janitor who owned the building. Spontaneous or canned, funny if you're stuck in traffic.

His last wife (can't think of her name, but can picture her--red haired--has two little ones with) was also a 'producer'...wink, wink. Except the last 'producer' I think had the audacity to cross the threshold of (at a minimum) 35...SOOOOO, time to find a new one. Wife number 6 is present at the HS of Journalism in NYC...

[Inyokern]

I think the Jews need me right now

I knew there was SOMETHING we needed.

You want to feel stupid? I thought, at first glance, the title of the article was, "Geraldo's Nipples." Major cookie eruption!
