Show Log For Thursday, December 9, 2010

Our first hour featured Marylynn Donnelly, a Belmont Shores mother whose teenage daughter Jamie has been investigated for bullying two classmates. “It doesn’t make sense” said Marylynn. “How can you be that fat and that popular.” She admitted her own daughter is large but that these other two large girls are popular with the cheerleaders and the jocks while her own daughter only has other fat girls for friends. Asked why her daughter was stranded in a parking lot one night by her volleyball teammates and forced to call Marylynn for a ride she said “I don’t know. All she did was pull a common teenage prank. She defecated on the back seat of her friends car as a joke.”

Our next guest was Professor Emory Clayton who teaches an Urban Media class at LA Canyon College. Professor Clayton is convinced that the rumors of Oprah Winfrey being a lesbian were started by “the white media. They don’t like s strong, proud black woman being successful so they start floating the rumor that she’s a man-eater. Hell, the number one rumor-spreader herself is Barbara Walters so that when it comes time to deny it Oprah’ll do it on the Barbara Walters Show!”

Tonight, on this anniversary of his tragic death, Bobbie Dooley and her husband Steve came on to talk about John Lennon and to talk about the influence of the man and his music. Ms Dooley had John Lennon’s song “Imagine” played, both by Mr. Lennon and by the cast of “Glee.” While Ms Dooley recognized Mr. Lennon’s enormous talents she told Phil that the cast of “Glee” actually did the song better because ” their voices quaver, up and down, you know what I mean” and they have better technology. Mr Lennon, Ms Dooley said, sang “Imagine” like “he was standing next to Lincoln in his famous dream looking at himself in a coffin.”  

Later Jeff Dowder, a part-time professor of mechanical physics at Cal Tech and an amateur nutritionist, talked about McDonalds bringing back the McRib Sandwich, a pork sandwich which in Mr. Dowder’s opinion is sure to inflame Muslims. Mr. Dowder told Phil that the scent of pork “wafting” under the nose of a Muslim is sure to set him off “like in “Lord of the Flies,” stripping off his shirt and dancing around a bonfire.”

Police: Gun Used in Ex-con Suicide Also Killed Publicist Ronni Chasen, Robbery Gone Bad

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — Police now say the gun used by ex-con in suicide stand–off with officers appears to have been the same one used to kill Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen.

The announcement by Beverly Hills police marks a major break in an investigation that has baffled detectives for nearly a month and stunned Hollywood ever since Chasen was gunned down while driving home from a movie premiere in her Mercedes in November.

Sgt. Mike Publicker described the killing as a “robbery gone bad” committed by Harold Martin Smith, who has a rap sheet dating back at least 25 years.

Police Chief David Snowden also said the gun used by Smith to commit suicide appears to have been used to kill Chasen.

“We believe that Mr. Smith acted alone. We don’t believe it was a professional hit,” he said.

Smith came the to attention of Beverly Hills investigators after a tip on the TV program, “America’s Most Wanted.

 


Smith bragged about killing Ronni Chasen and was waiting to receive the $10,000 he was promised for the hit, neighbors said.

When detectives tried to question him in the lobby of the Harvey Apartments Wednesday night, he raised a gun to his head and shot himself to death.

Smith had been arrested seven times for crimes ranging from misdemeanor drug possession to felony robbery.

In 1997, he was arrested for misdemeanor disturbing the peace and possession of drug paraphernalia. The records from that arrest show authorities put Smith under a public safety hold because he allegedly threatened to kill a police officer.

In 1998, Smith pleaded no contest to robbing two women in Beverly Hills. He was sentenced to 10 years in state prison and released in 2007.

Then, in August 2009, he was charged with misdemeanor prowling and marijuana possession after he was found loitering outside a woman’s home in Manhattan Beach.

He received a month in county jail and three years of probation. He failed to pay a $100 fine, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.

Parole records show Smith worked as a day laborer after his release, but he was unemployed earlier this year.

He had recently been evicted from the Harvey Apartments.

Police have called Smith a person of interest in the murder of Ronni Chasen, but new ballistics evidence suggests he may not have been the gunman.

Ballistics tests on the gun that Harold Smith used to kill himself showed it was not the gun used to shoot Chasen last month.

Chasen was shot five times in the chest last month near Sunset Boulevard and Whittier Drive while driving home from the premiere of the movie “Burlesque.”

Chasen eventually crashed her car into a light pole.
