STRIP SCRIBBLES
*Just asking which angry Strip resort hotel chief has fired off angry phone calls and letters to a rival about the way the “closing notice exit” of one resident act is being handled. He fears that it creates a harmful impression before the entertainer re-surfaces at his new property next year.
*Along with Anna Nicole Smith’s lingerie, former boyfriend Larry Birkhead also bought Sammy Davis Jr.’s UNLV letterman jacket, part of the preview display at Symbolic Gallery auctioned at Planet Hollywood Resort during Julien’s Auctions’ Summer Entertainment Sale. The jacket had “Sammy Davis Jr.” embroidered in white thread on the right breast with the UNLV patch on the left breast, and “S Davis Jr” embroidered on an inside pocket. Valued at between $600 and $800, Birkhead paid $2,625 for the combo Hollywood-Vegas memorabilia. Symbolic Gallery here in Vegas is home of the world’s largest privately held collection of Johnny Cash memorabilia and the world’s second-largest privately held collection of original R. Crumb artwork.
*Former Beauty of Magic showgirl, Pamela Anderson is directing and editing her own new reality show, which gets an eight-episode run this summer on E! Entertainment cable TV. She says you will only get to see the “back of the heads” of her two kids with then husband Tommy Lee as front-facial shots are off-limits.
Pamela says the show will be more documentary than reality, more self-portrait and art-project than trash and definitely not humiliating. You will get to see her reunion love-fling with Tommy Lee and also her selling lemonade at a charity yard sale near her Malibu home.
