"Muscle Bound" (pilot teaser)
"Rich and Reckless" is produced by Left/Right (the team that brings you "This American Life"), and our pilot episode called "Muscle Bound" is unsurpassed in terms of gore and greed. So, please tune in - if only to feel better about yourselves!
Thanks for your support.

The late Tim Kenny and his autistic angel
I recently received the following message:
Hi Mark,
I don't know if you remember my husband and I, but we talked to you about John Travolta and his doing nothing about his son's autism. Well, I have some bad news... My husband Tim Kenny shot and killed himself on March 30,2008. It has been a such a difficult time for me and my daughter and I thought of you today and I wanted to let you know. He was very proud that the story got out and he really felt it was helping. I thank you for everything you did because it made him smile many times.
GOD BLESS,
Patricia Kenny
Patricia Kenny is the widow of the late Tim Kenny - the main source for my story concerning celebrity Scientology shill John Travolta's unwillingness to confront his own son's autism.
Scientology will no doubt blame Mr. Kenny's tragic suicide on "evil psychiatrists," but, on behalf of everyone at Hollywood,Interrupted, I'd like to extend our deepest collective sympathy and warmest thoughts to the surviving family of a man we only knew by his powerful words and courageous actions.

-----Crossroads School: A Feb. 19 story about Crossroads School head Roger Weaver stepping down included a comment from Weaver that the book "Hollywood, Interrupted: Insanity Chic in Babylon -- The Case Against Celebrity" -- which includes allegations of student sex- and drug-fueled scandals at Crossroads -- was filled with fabrications. The article should have included comment as well from Mark C. Ebner, one of the book's authors, who denies that the book contains fabrications. The Times regrets the error.Text

Hi. We heard you were looking for some cult videos. Well, you've come to the right place! (Sort of) Hollywood,Interrupted scoured the public domain (otherwise known as the world wide web) to direct you to the best unintentional celebrity parody ever produced. Unfortunately, all clips from the Scientology-produced promotional video sound-tracked by the presumably unlicensed Lalo Shifrin Mission: Impossible theme music have been summarily whack-a-moled off either YouTube or GoogleVideo. Imagine, if you will, the heterosexual movie star spewing straight-up insanity through a mouthful of glistening Chiclets...

-----The schadenfreude was palpable at the Greek on Friday as Paris Hilton was roundly razzed when she took the stage at SpikeTV's 2007 Scream Awards.
As the booing subsided, one gent in the upper deck bellowed, "FUCK YOU BITCH," after Hilton introduced a clip from her upcoming operatic horror flick.
Anxious press people noted that Paris appeared pissed off when she hit the hospitality suite, but she recovered long enough to enjoy a brief dance with her iPhone at the Hollywood Roosevelt after party.
The text-messaging twit bunny-hopped into the party trailed by a posse of five or six younger nymphs, anchored by a complete douche-in-a-suit. Paris paused by some couches, where she stepped on a table to survey the scene. Then she just launched herself into the crowd -- looking around for someone she knew, or could possibly converse with. And no one talked to her. She was like a dead diva walking. She was close enough to touch at one point, and she looked really elated, but in a desperate kind of way -- like she needed a life preserver to hang onto and there was nobody out there. Pretty quickly, she retreated to her little klatch, and then they all flounced out.
Paris...out!
