This tribal sovereignty thing is totally out of hand. It’s obvious that the Seminole Tribe is becoming a monstrous force beyond the scope of all but the most brilliant (and devious) imaginations. Our closed society of rich and lawless Indians, as it stands now, will come to no good, of…
It looks like the Sun-Sentinel disabled the Comments under Ira Winderman’s Tim “Hate” Hardaway story. I’d seen that a lot of it — and there were 408 comments already when checked this morning — was supportive of Tim this morning and it was getting ugly, but for all I know…
Tim Chapman/Miami Herald Kathleen McGrory goes Edna in this Miami Herald story about a car crashing through a bakery. Her lede: “Cigarettes saved Betty Conley’s life this morning.” You can’t not read on. And it’s worth it, since McGrory describes a rather surreal, almost Lynchian scene: ————————————– Police and witnesses…
Any Questions? Tim Hardaway, who said “I hate gay people” on Dan Le Batard’s radio show yesterday, has since not only issued an apology but a just-issued confession in the form of a press release that has been obtained by the Pulp: “I need to say that my statements yesterday,…
He was walking his Dalmation near Deerfield Beach High School when his war started. A car pulled beside him. Four youths with Creole lilts jumped out and came at him. Derick Strobridge had no time to think. “I tried to fight my way out of the situation,” says Strobridge, a…
Frank Frazetta Broward County Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin seems to be on something of a power trip regarding his control over the (allegedly decaying) corpse of one Anna Nicole Smith. From today’s Miami Herald article by Nikki Waller and Roberto Santiago on the court battle over the body: ——————————- “Although…
Weinberger Remember the false report regarding “illegal narcotics” being found in Anna Nicole Smith’s hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock? It was included in a first-day report from Scott Weinberger of CBS-2 in New York, who cited unnamed law enforcement sources. Here’s what he said in the report, which…
Dan La Batard had the audacity yesterday to infer in his Miami Herald column that erstwhile Heat coach Pat Riley dumps his team when it’s losing and jumps back on when its rising (and Shaq is back on the court). Here’s a taste: “Anybody else with less aura and less…
Remember that exchange between Daily Business Review Law Editor Harris Meyer and Chicago Tribune national correspondent Tim Jones ? Well, the Trib responded appropriately (this actually ran a few days ago, but I missed it): “A main section story Tuesday on the possibility that serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer may have…
Johnny Depp came to town a couple weeks ago (January 28) and played with his old band, The Kids, at Club Cinema in Pompano Beach. So quiet it was like a secret (Sentinel reported he probably wouldn’t make it, DeFede had it that he would be here the preceding Friday)…
Mad Dog Merkel The Sun-Sentinel is such a trembling leaf of a newspaper it’s surprising it hasn’t floated to the ground and started to decompose. Once again, it sided with keeping its readers in the dark over reporting the details of a news story. This time it happened in a…
Here’s another little tabloid/cable news bombshell. Now she’s banging (assumedly) the Bahamian immigration minister. He let inside the country and she let him inside her … … God this is ludicrous. But there were two distinctive local takes on Anna Nicole over the weekend worth mentioning. The first came from…
The Ladies Man Who knew that Hollywood mega-lobbyist Alan Koslow was such a romantic? We had heard about his stormy extra-marital love affair with Hollywood Gazette publisher Meredith Brown, one that involved her dramatic leap of faith (off a boat in the Intracoastal), an injunction for protection, an unplanned trip…
So the NBA is buzzing about Dwyane Wade’s remark in yesterday’s Miami Herald about Dallas Mav star Dirk Nowitzki not getting it done at crunch-time. Israel Gutierrez quotes the great one thusly: “At the end of the day, you’re remembered for what you did at the end. . . …
CBS-2 in New York comes clean on its apparent reporting error. It also clarifies that it was reporter Scott Weinberger who made it. A previous report made it appear that Tamsen Fadal had reported the “illegal drugs” mini-bombshell — prompting an error by the Pulp in naming her as such…
I’ve got a television in the other room and have it on MSNBC (whenever there’s a big tabloid story breaking, you can count on MSNBC to be the best in the worst way — it does scuzzy very very naturally). Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger just announced there were NO…
I got hold of this e-mail exchange between the Daily Business Review’s law editor, Harris Meyer, and Tim Jones, the national correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. It concerns the Jeffrey Dahmer/Adam Walsh story that was initially broken by DBR last month and finally, by a circuitous route, went national this…
Tease found today on king media blogger Romenesko’s Left Rail: “Minnesota Monthly Names Putz editor. (Star Tribune)” Like that’s news (here’s the link to the story)…
The Anna Nicole Smith death coverage wasn’t spectacular this morning. The front-page Sun-Sentinel article, which involved nine reporters, led this way: “Anna Nicole Smith’s media-hyped journey of celebrity, marked by dubious successes and all-too-human tragedies, ended Thursday …” So far, so good. In fact, I would say it’s a damn…
Reunited? So the Hard Rock can’t get Vegas-style slot machines, but they can get a pseudo-celebrity death that will make the Seminole-owned casino and hotel an international show-business landmark for decades to come? I don’t know, is the death of a drug-addled, gold-digging, soft-porn Playboy pin-up at one’s establishment good…
Cynthia Berman-Miller, at far left, with Hollywood Commish Cathy Anderson (in purple), lobbyist Alan Koslow, and County Commish Sue Gunzberger (watch that hand, Al!) I’m going to be updating this damn bloggy beast all day long, but wanted to start with news coming from Hollywood that former state legislator Ken…
In an attempt to show you that you can, indeed, survive without your daily dose of the Pulp for 72 hours or so, I withdrew from posting the past few days. Now, don’t you feel better? (Actually, corporate callously unplugged us while they tinkered on something or other. Brilliant management…
