Gummi Bear Busts Out Of Rehab Show -- Almost

I'm Gummi Bear and I don't need  rehab!
Jason " Gummi Bear" Davis tried to escape from Celebrity Rehab 4, as I wrote about in a previous post. But his highly developed escape plot, which involved a strip club and was as complex and well planned as a game of tic-tac-dough, was thwarted when his getaway car mysteriously got away without him, leaving him standing there on the sidewalk in front of the Pasadena Recovery Center.

His roommate, Jason Wahler -- the so-called reality-TV train wreck best known for doing -- err, wooing the insanely beautiful Lauren Conrad on Laguna Beach and The Hills, as well as being thrown in the clink a few times --- was planning to leap over the fence and join Davis. We see him smoking in the "smoke garden" while waiting for the car to beep its horn, the predetermined signal for him to pull a Spidey, but then, as noted, the car split, and Wahler disappeared inside, as did Gummi, but only Gummi was "caught" by Will Smith, not the rapper/actor, but the big burly guy who is often referred to as the muscle of the unit.


What - me worry?
But I ask, Is it fair he let Wahler slink away into his room without a reprimand, while Gummi was read the riot act and tested for various drugs even though he was gone from the clinic for about three seconds? And why didn't Wahler man-up and take his comeuppance with Davis?

But the real question is, Are the Jasons stupid or what?

They are on a television show. They are being filmed at all times. How can you escape from a TV show? Do they really not see the cameras?

Then the police show up and take Davis into a meeting room. I thought the unit had sicced them on him, but it turns out, it was the other way around! He seemed to have had someone contact the po-po to say he was being held against his will. "I don't want to start a war with these people," Davis said at one point when asked by a blur-faced officer what he wanted to do, and I wondered, this guy is a billionaire, could he snap his fingers and have the police close the recovery center down? Are the rich really that powerful? A scary thought (maybe an idea for my next novel). Could Davis have had everyone chained up and frog marched out? But then I thought about it. Chances are, the police knew full well what was up and were just playing along.

Then again, maybe this was a ploy to ramp up the drama on the show ... it be gettin' quite borin' mahn!!!

The Girl in the Blue Mustang

MSNBC hides crime-scene photo in plain sight. Just watched a repeat of The Girl in the Blue Mustang , on MSNBC's Dateline . I am addicted to those shows: Dateline ID , 48 Hours , On the Case With Paula Zahn . It is amazing how popular this genre has become; you can find a murder docudrama on 24/7 these days thanks to all the channels available on cable. I am old enough to remember when 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 were it – and 13 rarely.

John Pappa—Life Behind Bars For A Job Well Done

UPDATED: There are a million stories in the naked city, and in the mob, too. Take the case of John Pappa —books and films could be made about this guy, and perhaps one day will. In May 1999 John Pappa was convicted of racketeering, drug dealing and four murders, including the 12th and final killing of the Colombo family war , which took three years to run its bloody course. The Colombos have probably had more wars than any other family in the Mafia—they have also produced some of the most legendary “gangstars” of our age, including Greg Scarpa and Wild Bill Cutolo . John Pappa, looking as innocent as a puppy dog. Pappa was arrested during a wedding rehearsal in 1997. That’s how it is done: you put a bullet in his head, then hug and kiss his mother at the funeral, and maybe you are invited to join the victim’s brother’s bridal party. An excited team of cops and FBI agents nabbed the mobster at a church on Staten Island. Pappa, 22 at the time, was chased into St. Ann's Ch

Tom Selleck's 'Fitz Special' Brings Reality to Blue Bloods

PLEASE READ FIRST READER'S COMMENT BELOW FOR IMPORTANT CORRECTION TO THIS POST [THANK YOU, ANONYMOUS] Is it me or does Tom Selleck 's character Frank Reagan (NYC's fictional Police Commissioner) in Blue Bloods remind you of the character A.J. Cooper, which he played on the now-cancelled but former hit show Las Vegas ? Those of you who watched both shows will notice that both character's are wearing the same gun, which I thought was a 1911, but now, after watching an episode of Blue Bloods where it is specifically mentioned, I understand it is called a Fitz Special. (And I have been reading that he may have even worn the same pistol in Magnum P.I. ; Selleck is a gun collector, I bet it is his own piece.) The website wethearmed.com , a weapons-enthusiast site, offers some interesting insight into Selleck's understanding of guns, and the Fitz Special in particular. I quote: "Anyways, as you are all aware I am sure Tom is a real gun guy.  I was watching an epis
