Remember this rule of life (or death). “If you’re worth more dead than alive, watch out.” MJ made $160 million between June 2012 and June 2013. This according to Forbes. It’s the third time in the last 5 years the top earning celebrity came from “beyond.”
“If you’re worth more dead than alive, watch the hell out.” – Darryl Parks Legendary radio personality and the only true host of “American Top 40” (sorry Ryan) Casey Kasem has gone missing.

Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, recently warned the NFL to watch its overexposure.

Physically freakish men moving a ball up and down a field while pounding on…
I haven’t even gotten around to podcasting yet and I may be silenced before I start. Will no one let my voice be heard? “Attica! Attica! Attica!” (Look it up. It’s from a famous Pacino movie.)

Uh oh. I made the point on a previous blog about how the exclusive NBA owners club had to know about Donald Tokowitz’s Sterling’s progressive views on race relations. His wife since 1955 said she was not a racist. Now the LA Times says she may have spewed a few hateful comments herself. If I…

Here’s Happy Couple #1 – Los Angeles Clippers’ owner Donald Tokowitz Sterling with his wife Rochelle, the former Rochelle Stein. Here’s Happy Couple #2 – Los Angeles Clippers’ owner Donald Tokowitz Sterling with “girlfriend” V. Stiviano, a name that sounds almost Italian. This Tokowitz Sterling character looks like he’s a great time to be…
