Frantic Friday Scrambling

Joseph Mailander a guy in laelsewhereemail

Tick...tick...tick...

SEIU endorses Obama, the Times says. Jawdropping.

The Mayor takes rightwing money to try to buy Prop S some insurance, Zahniser said earlier today.

The City may be throwing 40 unit condos up everywhere, and an election may be three days away, but Councilman Dennis Zine wants to protect Britney with a personal safety zone. By ordinance. Amazing.

Great idea, Dennis. About time.

It's just this kind of paparazzi with no boundaries, physical or moral, that killed Princess Di, and forces neighbors of Britney, Paris Hilton a few months ago, and on an on -- to live in hell while the paparazzi make their streets unlivable. They block traffic day and night, then there are also helicopters buzzing very loudly, and sometimes the city has to put in NO Parking signs which affect the neighbors and their visitors, too -- because of vulture paparazzi.

It's also the swarms of paparazzi that forces the city to give Britney and others Police and Sheriff escorts to get them to jail or hospital -- it's not like these celebrities ask for it. But we pay in more ways than just money.

Plus, there are vehicle accidents and dangers as these paparazzi chase around. Recently, they collided with each other in Beverly Hills, but they've also caused car crashed by their victims and others avoiding the mob of racing cars.

Joe, you live in the boonies where the neighbors would probably think it's exciting to have a celebrity and paparazzi. But not if you lived around them. Just ask Brit's neighbors at the Summit, who want her to move, like Paris's did.

Where is LAPD Car 940 when you need it? Park it outside of Britney's house because you never know when you might need a little extra protection....

This from the "Politico" site.

'And the Oscars to go ...'


The RNC came up with who'd they give the Oscars to from last night's Dem debate at the Kodak Theatre (also the Oscar stage):

Actor in a leading role? Barack Obama, for his performance as Clinton's "friend" after snubbing her three days earlier.

Actress in a leading role? Hillary Clinton, for her performance reaching out her hand in "friendship and unity" for three days.

Writing (Adaptation of a Screenplay)? Hillary Clinton, for rewriting her record.

Writing (Original Screenplay)? Barack Obama, for writing fiscal and security policy proposals with virtually no experience.

Picture? The Democrats' skewed vision for higher taxes and weaker security.

Director? John Edwards, for dictating the first 15 minutes.

Cinematography? CNN, for capturing Hollywood's love of the Democratic candidates.

He lives in freaking Los Feliz, you freak.

If Britney needs security, she should hire some. If Corina needs security, her estranged adulterous husband should hire some for her.

Prop S is just another scam to fill the pockets of AV's consultants.

Its new vacation home time for Parke, Ace, Hacopian and the rest.

Like off-duty cops? Great idea. But who would hold the drugs?

2:40 pm: Joe, pretty testy about living in the eastern edge of town, Los Feliz, huh? Hate to clue you in, but it's not paparazzi central -- anything east of La Cienega, especially Fairfax, is Siberia. Yes it sure sounds like you'd LOVE some paparazzi chasing around there so you could feel you lived in the high-end district, freak. Cheap chic of Los Feliz and Silverlake doesn't count. There's wonderful trendy downmarket stuff there, but Robertson it isn't. Maybe the Ivy and Kitson will move there soon...?

And ahole, Brit didn't ask for the cops, or to be taken away at all -- they had to show up to protect the public as well as her, for reasons already explained and clearly. Reasons you can't understand because no one who's anyone gets chased around east of Fairfax. I'm sure Brit's neighbors would love for her to move to Los Feliz to a cheap mansion there -- maybe Bratton can keep an eye on her.

Poor, clueless, celebrity-less Joe.

It seems pretty poor blog manners to post something then attack someone who politely (initially, anyway) tells you why you're wrong...Trying to copy Tony Pierce of LAist, with his rep for rude? I thought you were going for the French deboinair thing.

LAPD should send Brittney the bill for $25,000 the cost of having her crazy ass escorted to the hospital. This time I hope they keep her and not let her out.

Just I wanted and needed, more Britney Spears news.

Does anybody know who Britney is endorsing for President?

Just think of the all the extra free publicity any presidential candidate would love to get, by having Britney show up at an election rally.

The smart presidential candiates should be courting Britney for her endorsement and lage contingent of paparazzi which now includes local, national and international press.

the paparazzi get paid by the publishers of the bullshit that the 'people' read.
the 'people's' lust for this celebrity coverage is what drives the paparazzi market.
its also freedom of the 'press'.

if you don't like the paparazzi, don't buy the gossip mags, and definitely don't visit those 'other' blogs where they concentrate on that endless, worthless and meaningless drivel.

stay right here at Mayor Sam and watch us fight over the real issues that affect your life: phone taxes, emergency services, mandatory animal spaying, illegals, Fabian's expense account, public vehicle abuse, beach vending, police hiring, school budget hijacking, presidential pandering by our electeds, and of course the biggest fight of all, who's better, the blogs or the daily news.

hahaha

which is better? we need to know because I don't sleep at night worrying about that one.


PS. nice to see Joe has a chief of staff now. maybe his 'people' might even meet up with our 'people' one day and we'll all do lunch and reminisce.

I don't really live in Los Feliz, I live in Franklin Hills. But thanks to the Chief of Staff (?!) for trying to clarify somethings.

Who are we going to protect next? Phil Spector?

You guys suck. Not to mention you aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. Maybe just tools, but nowhere near sharp.

Bratton is wrong that current laws protect people from the paprazzis, and joe it's not just protecting them it's also protecting neighbros and passersby from them. They can block your garage and take up parking and access to your whole street, but until they actually get onto your property, they haven't done anything wrong. And they get on your lawn or garage entry then back off -- it's a game they're willing to play. They're worse when they chase their victims and anyone driving by gets in the way. How'd you like them chasing you and photoghing your kids in the car?

All the people on this blog who say send Brit the bill are scary stupid. The bill should go to the paprazzi chasing her, who endanger public safety to make some slimy bucks.

Then if they get hurt by each other they sue the city. Sound like Matt and his kkkk-wearing buddy hunt.
