Another wacky hat has been thrown into the ring for California's Governer's race, dahling!
Zsa Zsa Gabor's eighth husband and flamboyant socialite, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, described as the "lover (never confirmed) of Anna Nicole Smith," and a "self-proclaimed member of European royalty," will try and succeed Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Gubernator in the upcoming election.
This guy's a hoot! He's been married seven times; and previously worked as a "bank clerk, screenwriter and sauna manager" (according to the AP). Several years back, he was found naked behind the wheel of his Rolls Royce Phantom. Why? Well, he said, "I was mugged by three women". He also sued the makers of Viagra, because he was annoyed that he couldn't perform without the drug.
And as for his plans for California should he get elected?
He wants to lift the ban on Cuban cigars, and legalize marijuana and prostitution. Then tax them all to help end California's budget woes.
Now that's a political platform...
...from a guy who's probably in platform shoes.

"Craps!"
Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman has declined an invitation to meet with President Obama when he arrives in Sin City tomorrow. Mayor Goodman called President Obama "a slow learner" after the President told Americans not to "blow money on a weekend in Las Vegas" if they were saving to put their kids through college.
"I've got other things to do quite frankly..." explained Mayor Goodman.
I'll bet he does. And don't expect Mr. Mayor to tell you what those things are. After all, "What happens in Vegas...."
Wonder what Obama's planning to do while in-town?

I don't know what Martin Scorsese has for Leonard DiCaprio. Must be the goombah connection, I guess. Well, regardless...
...DiCaprio is set to play Frank Sinatra in yet another film for Scorsese. But he’s probably not going to sing.
“With those records?” Scorsese was quoted as saying at last night's premiere for Shutter Island. “Frank will do the singing.”
I guess I'm a goombah, too.
I was hoping for Milli Vanilli.

And finally...
The Zamboni Company has been the official ice-resurfacing machine of many Winter Olympics, and is not a stranger to the chill of controversy.
You may have heard in recent media reports that Zambonis caused delays in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. Those reports put the Zamboni folks in melt-down mode...
"While it is unfortunate that there was an interruption to the Winter Olympic events, please note: the resurfacers which were on the ice during those events were not Zamboni® brand ice resurfacers and should not be referred to as 'Zamboni machines,"' the company spokesman said.
It turns out the machines causing the problems were made by the Olympia Company.
I can hear Don Rickles now, "Well, of COURSE they were, Hockey Puck!"
