Simpson. When You Step Upon A Star is available wherever books are sold through Jacobs Brown Media Group.

  Celebrity Correspondent Will Keck William Keck During my multi-decade career working in Hollywood as an entertainment reporter covering celebrities, I've written countless articles that I'm proud to claim as my own. Very personal profiles that received accolades not only from my editors, but also from the town's top publicists and the stars themselves. But you won't find any of those happily-ever-after stories in this book. Rather, within these pages are my missions that, for one reason or another, went horribly wrong.  Typically to blame was the cavalier bravado I displayed while investigating morally questionable leads, pursuing controversial angles or asking probing questions that I thought might be of interest to my readers, but were regarded as overly invasive or unnecessarily rude by my subjects.             Take for instance Bruce Willis, who threatened to burn down my house, many years after little Drew Barrymore left the message “I'm going to fucking kill you” on my home answering machine.            Ellen DeGeneres told me, “I don't like you so much,” while The Nanny's Fran Drescher gave me a rather aggressive verbal spanking.          Beloved Mary Poppins icon Dick Van Dyke prodded his TV star buddy Andy Griffith to give me a good smack in the face, while Star Trek's Leonard Nimoy took me to task over a casual question I posed about his Spock ears. Another of my sci-fi idols—Bionic Woman Lindsay Wagner—greeted me at her father's funeral with a soul-crushing “Fuck you,” which was really nothing compared to being dragged away by security from John Candy's private entombment.          Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher put a period on our years-long friendship by telling me “you will (one day) look up at your reflection in your coffin and not like what you see.”            I accidentally terrified a pair of child stars on Halloween and sent an actress from Lost fleeing our interview in tears.            Gorgeous Dallas star Victoria Principal—a longtime object of my near stalker-like obsession—threatened me with legal action, which was preferable to being roughed up by a three-time Emmy-winning '90s sitcom star outside his home.            Then there was the time I landed a spot on the Scientologists' “suppressives” list after an innocent misunderstanding with the late, great Kirstie Alley. And in his autobiography So Far…, Alley's Cheers co-star Kelsey Grammer called me out by name as “a despicable piece of flesh” whom he invited “to burn in Hell!!”            Oh man, I'm outta breath.          While the words and actions of those peeved celebrities may have been justified at the time, please believe me when I tell you I'm really not as bad as all that makes me out to be. It's true though. There's no denying that over the years I've done many things of which I'm not proud. For me, the process of accountability and redemption that inspired me to write this book has been slow and continuous. As you'll discover, my irreverent sense of humor and the questionable fact-finding tactics and sweet-talking skills I fostered at the National Enquirer followed me upon graduating to my role as a “legit” celebrity reporter for such respected publications as USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, People, Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide. Quitting tabloid journalism didn't necessarily mean its mindset and methodology had quit me. What it did offer was extraordinary access to A-list talent I never in a million years expected I'd have an opportunity to interview. The very same publicists who would hang up the phone or threaten my life when I called as a representative of the Enquirer, were now contacting me to offer up their talent for intimate 1:1 interviews to be conducted in private dressing rooms, on the closed sets of major film and TV projects, backstage at concerts or even in the celebrities' homes.           The pandemic provided me the time I needed to meticulously comb through the dusty reminders of my past, reflect on all I'd experienced, process what I'd learned and discover what I wanted to say about it all. Ultimately, I decided to confess everything—holding nothing back.  I'm owning up to my most grievous lapses in judgment, confessing my most mortifying blunders, revealing the embarrassing sex stuff and also taking the opportunity to share a few valuable insights I gained along the way.            While everything is naturally told from my perspective, I fully understand there are always at least two sides to any story. In some instances, a few of those mentioned in the book have chosen to contribute their side, or speak on behalf of a former co-star. A couple others, such as Victoria Principal and Batman star Burt Ward, requested minor changes be made that had no significant impact on the stories being told. But I assure you, there's not a word in this book, to the best of my memory—well-supported by an extensive archive of article clippings, my original reporter notebooks, tape-recorded interviews and photographs—that isn't the God's honest truth. How I uncovered some of these tabloid truths, however, did at times require me to employ imaginative means, often by accessing my inner thespian or undercover spy.            This is the story of how I infiltrated the secret worlds of the rich and famous, while privately struggling to come to terms with secrets of my own. So—if you think you can handle it—pick up your CSI blacklights and join me as I pull back the soiled sheets and expose the bizarre, sometimes ugly and always entertaining life of a reformed and deeply repentant tabloid bad boy.

He made numerous appearances on Howard Stern's show under the name "Booger." Booker left K-Rock in 2003 for the morning drive show on the "Blink" version of WNEW.

The latest court developments in the Trump hush money case have been nothing short of explosive. Cohen's testimony placed Trump at the center of a scheme to win the 2016 election corruptly. According to Cohen, Trump was fully briefed on the $130,000 payment to Daniels and was in the room when the plan was hatched to conceal the transactions through false invoices to the Trump Organization. Cohen also revealed that Trump's main concern was delaying the story until after the election, allegedly saying, "Just get past the election, because if I win, it will have no relevance, and if I lose, I don't even care." If true, this testimony provides the clearest evidence yet that Trump was an active participant in the hush money scheme and the subsequent cover-up. Cohen's account suggests it was all about protecting Trump's electoral chances. In this week's episode, I shine a light on another troubling aspect of the Trump-David Pecker pact at the center of the trial. I note that the pact existed a year and a half before the August 2016 meeting that led to the Hush Money trial, when a catch-and-kill agreement was made between Trump and National Enquirer publisher David Pecker.  Indeed it seems likely a pact already existed in January 2015 and may have resulted in a disinformation campaign targeting Bill Clinton with untrue stories published in The Enquirer about Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein. Before Trump launched his 2016 White House bid there's evidence to suggest Pecker and Trump were coordinating efforts to smear Bill Clinton, Given Pecker's practice of sharing stories with Trump in advance, and his subsequent efforts to "catch and kill" Trump's sex scandals, this raises alarming questions about the level of coordination between Trump and the tabloid. This week's developments paint a picture of a candidate and a campaign willing to do anything to win—even if it meant breaking the law and deceiving the American people. The hush money scheme, the hints at Clinton dirt, the catch-and-kill operation—it all points to a sophisticated operation designed to manipulate and deceive Americans  A felony conviction for Donald Trump would be unprecedented in American history, and the jury has had unenviable tasks before them. However, regardless of the outcome, the trial exposed a political network whose entire operational basis is lying, concealing, and cheating. And that is a reality the entire nation must now confront.  In this sense, the Trump Hush Money trial is not just about campaign finance violations or salacious scandals. It's about completely rejecting an ideology of moral decline in which the only solution to any national problem is even more corruption. This is an untenable outcome for a nation built on so much hope and promise. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Rundown -   Greg Gold in Craig's Lawyers' Lounge - 11:04   Barry Levine - 31:44   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:30:15   "Set the Tone" by Dave Gunders - 01:42:14   The Craig Silverman Show's New York v Trump trial correspondent Greg Gold reports on his 100 Centre Street Manhattan Criminal Courthouse observations. Trump claims that the area is locked down and Greg proves that Trump is a liar. Gold reports the prosecution's opening witness, David Pecker, is astoundingly good.   This case has more at stake than the John Edwards prosecution in North Carolina, which Greg Gold also attended. In Craig's Lawyers' Lounge, a high-level discussion occurs about what evidence might be persuasive. Greg Gold sets the scene brilliantly for the New York v Trump trial that is now underway.   The first witness in the trial is David Pecker from the National Enquirer. Our show's main guest is Barry Levine, who worked for Pecker and the Enquirer from 1999 to 2016. Barry Levine knows all the details and has broken the Enquirer's big stories on John Edwards, Jessie Jackson and Tiger Woods. He explains how those stories happened.   Barry Levine describes Packer's style and how he was once assigned a 2010 interview with Trump. Levine also provides the history of the National Enquirer, especially after it was under the control of David Pecker and the American Media Inc. Host discusses how he was sometimes a paid legal consultant for AMI on celebrity crime stories.   Barry Levine is an experienced New Yorker and accomplished American journalist, author and media executive. He is best known for his work as an investigative reporter and editor in politics, government and entertainment, having worked for many years at the National Enquirer. https://nypost.com/2017/05/11/ex-national-enquirer-editor-joins-heavy/   Levine and the Enquirer were nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for their story exposing the love child of former Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards. Senator Edwards's subsequent campaign fraud prosecution resembles what Trump now faces.   In 2019, Barry Levine authored "All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator." Back then, Levine and other reporters followed Trump's Aspen affairs. Barry knows Donald Trump's NY secrets and Trump's fantasy of being Hugh Hefner. Levine has interviewed scores of females Trump has victimized.   Troubadour Dave Gunders also discusses opening witness David Pecker and how DAs need to "Set the Tone," the title of Dave's song this week. Every trial is a rollercoaster ride, as is the 2024 election. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is also discussed for the shooting of her puppy, Cricket. What an outrage!

Jordan Klepper and Ronny Chieng dive into Trump's double trials, as his lawyers argue to the Supreme Court that he should have complete immunity and David Pecker of “The Enquirer” airs out his dirty laundry. As protests for Gaza ramp up on college campuses, the de-escalation effort doesn't seem to be...de-escalating. Jordan and Ronny break down the police crackdown, as well as politicians like Mike Johnson and Benjamin Netanyahu weighing in. Plus, Kyle Chayka, New Yorker staff writer and author of “Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture” sits down with Jordan and Ronny to discuss the effects of algorithm-based suggestions on how we experience taste and culture. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's Headlines: The Supreme Court heard oral arguments yesterday regarding whether Donald Trump has absolute immunity from prosecution due to his actions while president in attempting to overturn the 2020 election, arguing that anything a president does can be considered an "official act." Trump's attorney even suggested that assassinating a political rival could be an official act depending on circumstances. However, the Court didn't seem swayed by the full immunity argument, potentially opening the door for partial immunity or delaying the case. Meanwhile, in Defendant Donald's criminal trial, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker testified about his involvement in a hush money agreement with Stormy Daniels, revealing that the Enquirer buried the story to help Trump's presidential campaign. President Biden issued a joint statement urging Hamas to accept a hostage and ceasefire deal, while a Commerce Department report showed weaker-than-expected economic growth in the US for the first quarter of 2024. Lastly, Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction was overturned by a New York Appeals Court, prompting plans for a retrial.

At the center of the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Manhattan is the accusation that Trump took part in a scheme to turn The National Enquirer and its sister publications into an arm of his 2016 presidential campaign. The documents detailed three “hush money” payments made to a series of individuals to guarantee their silence about potentially damaging stories in the months before the election. Because this was done with the goal of helping his election chances, the case implied, these payments amounted to a form of illegal, undisclosed campaign spending. And because Trump created paperwork to make the payments seem like regular legal expenses, that amounted to a criminal effort at a coverup, argued Alvin Bragg, the district attorney of Manhattan. Trump has denied the charges against him.For Lachlan Cartwright, reading the indictment was like stepping through the looking glass, because it described a three-year period in his own professional life, one that he has come to deeply regret. Now, as a former president faces a criminal trial for the first time in American history, Cartwright is forced to grapple with what really happened at The Enquirer in those years — and whether and how he can ever set things right.

According to the form, they were outside waiting for a 7:30 p.m. Lions Club meeting to start. During Carter's presidential campaign in 1976, a reporter from the National Enquirer asked him if he would release all the information the government had on UFOs if he was elected. He is quoted in the June 8, 1976 edition of the Enquirer as saying “If I become President, I'll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and the scientists. I'm convinced that UFOs exist because I have seen one.” When he was elected, the White House began receiving letters from UFO enthusiasts who wanted to know when he was going to make good on his promise. One of these is included in the article by Philip J. Klass, headlined “NASA, the White House, and UFOs” published in the Spring/Summer 1978 Skeptical Inquirer: Read more →This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5922140/advertisement
