Bettie Page dies at 85; pinup queen played a key role in the sexual revolution of the 1960s and later became a cult figure

Bettie Page, the brunet pinup queen with a shoulder-length pageboy hairdo and kitschy bangs whose saucy photos helped usher in the sexual revolution of the 1960s, has died. She was 85.

Page, whose later life was marked by depression, violent mood swings and several years in a state mental institution, died Thursday night at Kindred Hospital in Los Angeles, where she had been on life support since suffering a heart attack Dec. 2, according to her agent, Mark Roesler.

Parents, don't kid yourselves: Heroin use is growing among local teens
Dear Santa Barbara Teen,
Heroin is about as cool as a mortuary at two in the morning. It kills. Sometimes it kills real fast--especially if it is bad heroin. One of your fellow teens died recently from bad heroin. It came from a dealer here in town. The dealer is out there still, looking for more takers. He will sell it again, the bad stuff, and maybe you, too, will die. Sure, you're a teen, More»

Eringer's bud, the gecko-dude, seems to favor the tinfoil series,
or Eringer only forwards those to him. "Manchurian chips"

"Parents, don't kid yourselves: Heroin use is growing among local teens"
Sometimes bubble dwellers just don't get that even if you don't know of anyone who is using drugs, the drug business effects us all. It isn't pretty. FBI/CIA Eringer should know how the drug business works. Why even the elite can get hooked. Image that.

Comrade Laura Schlessinger promised to get everyone "up to speed" on Afghanistan. Her son, Deryk Schlessinger, worked a brief time at heroin central. What was that all about? She should be informed, very informed, about the situation and it is criminal to withhold the facts from people.

Especially the people she works up to risk life and limb.
For what?

It's said Santa Barbara's heroin is from Mexico, all trafficing effects everyone. The FBI/CIA would know what a big cash cow drug trafficing is. You can trade weapons and pay no tax. You can even pay for a war with your profits. Tell those teens to just say no.

After coming out vocally in a blitz last April, Rob Lowe's lawyer Larry Stein clams up

"We'll be responding to this in court, which is the appropriate way."

"The appropriate way!" or is it "the missing document?"

Lowe's attorney, Larry Stein, wrote in a correspondence dated May 23 that the confidentiality agreement "is missing."

Lowe faces a lawsuit from a second nanny, Laura Boyce, who also accuses the star [wife] of harassment.
A hearing on the case is set for June 19.

This week in Santa Barbara!

"The Suspicious Nature of Rob Lowe’s Extortion Scandal"

Who's the real guilty party?
It was suspicious then and
more suspicious now.
From day one it was scorched earth...
with a strategy meant to "go away", as Lowe attorney Stanton “Larry” Stein said,

“Hopefully, they will go away”

The "go away" strategy was there from the start.

If "GO AWAY" was plan A, chef Pete Clements could be plan D... ?
Clements, with a wife, children and in a dire financial situation, is easy to spot for his vulnerabilities. It's also noted he left one job before having another.

Rob Lowe's Wife is "Unclean" Says Chef Who Had Sex on Their Bed

What is it, Rob?

Who stole the missing medications ? Here today gone tomorrow... mistake ?

Why make your public more curious ?

The Lowe's local history is insidiously entwined with the same friend who is sue crazy...

sue or threaten, intimidate ANY & ALL that mess with narcissistic image...

the woman uses the same lawyers as the Lowes, she will not talk to human beings... her scurrilous doings make major publications, headlines and the second documentary about her is in process.
The public isn't worthy enough to speak with her, hence she sends out lawyers to explain her communication style:
One of her legists let us know:

"Cease-and-desist orders are a form of communication!"

Is Rob Lowe any different from his friends Wendy McCaw and von Wiesenberger?

WTF is up with Huff Post, Santa Barbara News-Press and Rob Lowe?

Just asking... in public this Lowe dilemma may not come to much. This might be about the disadvantages of being in the limelight.
Not employee issues, not prescriptions, not the well being of children. It's about sticking up for celebrity rights?

When should celebrity, friends and family get privilege in the media?

Should celebrity, friends and family get a pass with the law?

The irony of Rob Lowe's privacy [vacant lot address] sending Wendy McCaw into "meltdown" for what she wouldn't print to what she will print...

Has she mentioned the employees side?

There is a history of employee bashing with McCaw.

And the original nanny gate, Aianna Huffington, giving Lowe prominence. Helping pave the way for his one sided view to act like a legitimate item when the court papers are filed

[anybody can sue anybody and the rich will do it to intimidate].

Here's a comment from a disgruntled Huff Poster:

"Why was this story moved from the Entertainment page to the Home page? It got plenty of play last week when it appeared the day before Lowe filed his lawsuits against two former nannies, a former chef, and 1-100 "DOES", John or Jane. Its now been mentioned on infotainment tv shows. It was gone from HuffPost for a few days and now its back. Why? More press for Lowe and his sad tale of CelebritiesBeingTakenAdwantageOf.? Robbie, your sleazy past makes those of us who remember wonder what was going on in your household. And I doubt it was the fault of all your former employees. Get lost."

Today Monday, April 14, 2008, I couldn't find "Household Betrayal" on the Huff Post Entertainment page. Nada.

I'm not up on all Rob Lowe's filmology and I didn't know much about his child porn video until he started to hang with Wendy. She was having another child porn image dilemma where it looked obvious she did manipulate the media for her own gain. In the process she defamed a previous employee. This makes some in Santa Barbara curious, what is Wendy's MO? Not every celebrity carpetbagger has a porn connection. Certainly not kiddie porn. Rob Lowe and Laura Schlessinger, go figure. Every celebrity carpetbagger Wendy likes has porn connections. Is it a pattern with Wendy? Her friend, Michael Douglas, was also in rehab for sex addiction. No images or children that I know.

Yes, extorting celebrity is horrible and the paps go extreme. All of that is bad, very, very bad. This dilemma hasn't had many facts and who can know if, how or why the Lowe's were betrayed? Most of the opinions, comments and even media is pro celebrity, go Rob, fight for celeb rights.

I've heard Lowe's father is an attorney in Dayton Ohio. His previous experience should make him cautious. I'd think he has all his ducks in a row when it comes to contracts.

I've read where some people blame "democrats" b/c of the 1988 DMC convention kiddie porn video. [he is now a republican?] Where is there more information about his porn film? I recall something about he was a producer who made many porn films. In Atlanta he was caught with two of his films. Everyone says the Atlanta porn was Rob with two girls. One girl was 16, that was a problem, but not a big problem. He had lawyers and didn't have to do the Sex-Offender-Register for life... like the less advantaged.

The Rob with two girls story is a PR dream if the actual fact is this was Rob with another man and an underage child.

Whatever happens with the recent dilemma, a responsible journalist needs to take this beyond gossip and inform the public.

THIS MATTERS IF YOU CARE FOR CHILDREN.

Both Wendy McCaw and Laura Schlessinger use children as it suits their purposes. How will they handle this dilemma?

Someone sure seemed to handle Deryk Schlessinger's dilemma in MySpace when "the evidence" was destroyed.
Btw.. not one word from McCaw/Schlessinger about the image showing serious disrespect of our military. What about the children?
Schlessinger's speil is about guns, guns in school and children.

So much for gun safety.

If a non-celebrity had escaped the sex register but was on film with 2 girls or a man and minor having sex... later other dilemmas emerged...

How would that be handled?

I don't want to know about my neighbors sex life. When there are facts regarding children it's irresponsible not to mention the facts in a dilemma.

Local media needs to be held accountable for keeping the public informed.

Rob Lowe's Nanny Fires Back 4/9/08
"Our complaint will speak for itself. Everything in the complaint is true.
We do not need the media to win the case."

Many observers accuse Lowe of aggressive defense.
By blogging on Huffington Post, he gets to frame the story and shape public opinion before the nanny or other employees can reach out to press to tell their side.
Lowe claims he’s the victim of alleged extortion, but refuses the help of law enforcement officials, who offered to open a criminal investigation. When the police get involved, Lowe could lose control of the story spin.

Wendy P. McCaw's "BREAKING NEWS" moment...

The L.A. Times prints their two cents about
"Citizen McCaw"

as Wendy P. McCaw's "BREAKING NEWS" moment... BREAKS ! ! !

McCaw buys a lawyer to say
"This is, literally, like water off her back," Cappello said of the film. "Barking dogs may bark, but the caravan moves on."

The Santa Barbara I know is disgusted with the News-Press clowns. Like it's known, McCaw is cool and is moving on? Sure, sure, sure and she doesn't care. This is why her editor, Travis Armstrong had "BREAKING NEWS" March 7th (now changed, see capture below) on local media, KEYT TV, when "Citizen McCaw" opened at the Arlington Theater? Coincidence? If it was as Cappello spins "literally, like water off her back," we would have seen in print a light hearted take by a News-Press that had the balls to participate.

News-Press "BREAKING NEWS" about an office party video.
[ later date & title change: Suggestive, crude video puts KEYT news staff on hot seat ]McCaw's parties have more local fame. As Laura Schlessinger calls it, "shacking-up". I don't recall McCaw's exact words, she did send a before Christmas party memo to Ampersand employees. McCaw parties with her party rules to the effect, don't bring a date if you're "shacking-up" with them (McCaw and co-publisher and water master, Arthur "Nipper" von Wiesenberger, DO"SHACK-UP").
Yes, they

"SHACK-UP"
"LIVE IN SIN"

No Wendy caravan moves on with that.

WATER!

Is Schlessinger outraged? What happened to her "no nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is" style? In so many ways she demonstrates her cowardliness. She is not her radio act. She is nonsense and tongue tied when it comes to truth. Her fantasy world about Deryk Schlessinger is most alarming since it looks most like lies and cover-up. She is not one to act accountable and now she teaches her scary son to be a NO COUNT for his "evil" deeds.

UPDATE: Laura's blog on March 18, 2008 on 6:30 am Is “Personal Responsibility” a Four-Letter Word?
“Personal Responsibility”?
NOT FOR DERYK SCHLESSINGER. More WHINEY book sales!
