Fame. He'd like to be walked on a leash and play really dirty, kinky sex games. He's the guy put the cock in the Peacock network. Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody a j Benzi here with Fame is a Bitch. This is your free show from Monday, June twenty six, twenty twenty three. Manic Monday, as we like to say, it's pretty manic. I got news for people. Seems to be a lot of stuff going on in both the political arena and show biz and every place else. It's
been a wild June. There will be a Politics is a Bitch tomorrow for those of you who are inclined to listen or have already joined up. If you haven't, go to patreon dot com slash Politics a Bitch. Did the same thing for Fame as well, Patreon dot com slash Fame's a Bitch and enjoin the army. Um. You know it's funny. It's not funny. It's kind of aggravating. Sometimes there are people who will tell me, they'll not tell me, they'll they'll put it on some board. He's always asking
people to join up. He's always it's always says no, no, I say it once every three shows, and I don't go on more than fifteen seconds with it. But there are politics, there are there are shows I listened to that all begin with the host trying to get people to go to their Patreon page or whatever other extra content they offer by going and paying an extra five bucks a month. So many shows do it, so I don't want to get, you know, kicked in the teeth every time I bring
it up. But you know this is our bread and butter. Why wouldn't you try to sell some some cold cuts with the bread. I mean, it makes sense, that's your business. You gotta speak up now. And then, oh shit, I just hit my sister's computer behind my laptop. I think it's gonna reset. You might hear some little beeps and whistles for a couple of minutes, but we'll be okay, We'll trudge along. I hate computers. I hate all this kind of stuff. I know the US,
it gives like two chances to get something right. They ask you again, are you sure? But I just don't like the tone of computers. I don't like how they can quickly destroy your day or night. Not the computers all black. I don't like this at all this is bad anyhow, folks, let's start listen Elvis Presley. I know the guy's been dead for a long time, but he's back on the news. Got every time somebody needs some money or just wants to start some crap, you just gotta bring
up Elvis. It's as easy as that. The guy's got a lot of corn troversity surrounding his life and his death. Of course, his son, I mean, his thought, his daughter, his harsh son, his wife x y, I mean this shiit surrounding him all the time. You can pick any story to go to and Elvis, it just seems like a big disaster. As great as he was, he left such a shit storm behind him and then everything just fell part in his family drugs and alcohol. Is
it because Lisa Marie took after him? It could be, And did her son take after Grandpa? I don't know, but what a very dysfunctional group anyhow. Elvis Presley's stepbrother, who we really want to hear from too often, he's now come out and said he believes Elvis died by suicide. He's on an Amazon Prime documentary called Elvis's Women. I saw a few minutes of it. I would not recommend it. I didn't go back to it.
I might go back and finiship not crazy about it. You got a bunch of women on a documentary to talk about how they were assaulted by Elvis, you know, fifty years ago, forty years ago. I can't stand this ship, you know I can't. I'm not saying he was an angel. I don't think any man who lives up to that kind of that kind of fame and legend and just you know what a career movies and singing, and just the guy was a meteor. It's gonna be women who get in his
way. There's gonna be women who, you know, he gets a quick feel from. He might you know, at a party, grabbed him and do something because he's the king. I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying it's bound to have happened. Not to mention the thousands of women who threw him, threw themselves at him night and day, in any city, any country in the world. There was nobody bigger, nobody more beautiful until he turned into Fat Elvis and uh, you know, the Vegas Fat Elvis.
I still loved him, but you know, nothing beat the black leathers suit. Elvish just amazing, amazing performer. So the step brother uh says he premeditated taking all those medications that killed him. This is David Stanley talking. He said, love, hurt, pain, exposure. He just couldn't take it anymore. This guy's eighty five years old. Now, yeah, eighty five year olds. I gotta be very confident in what they say. I gotta look him in the eye. I can't just read what they're saying.
He could be cuckoo in eighty five. So because of the love and the hurt and the pain and the exposure, he couldn't take it anymore. He says, Elvis couldn't carry on because he had a lot of fears that his relationships with teen girls would be laid bare in a book. I don't think Elvis would have been scared of that. I really don't. And this guy ran with Elvis' entourage too. He was even apparently in Graceland what Elvis thought of the heart attack in the bathroom as a result of a drug with Dovis
back in August of seventy seven. I remember our good friends Arthy and Joey Colucci and their daughters Devor and Barbara were over. I think it was a Saturday, or maybe a Sunday afternoon, Sunday morning, either way, Saturay or Sunday. You know, Dorothy is no longer with us, but Joey and Dorothy Colucci were great. Joey stoles around. He's great. Dorothy was a big Elvis. Elvis fan right now, she'd be about eighty, so,
yeah, she's writing at Elvis Hole orbit. She opened up my sister's kitchen door that went onto the deck and screamed because our house was ripping her and Rosalie's. We had connecting yards and stuff without a compound. And she went on night balcony, crying her eyes at what's around him. Elvis Presley died. And you know I was young. I wasn't young. I was about tenth grade, whatever the hell it was, fifteen years old, ninth tenth grade. You know, I liked Elvis. I wasn't hung up on
him at that point. I knew what he meant to society and to culture. But I couldn't get any tears up. You know, not many fifteen year old boys can do that when a celebrity dies. But boy, she was really ringing out the tears upstairs on that deck, we had the consoler. But this guy's claiming his taste for young girls, Elvis, his taste for young girls, even fifteen and sixteen years old, made him sick, he says. He says, it's a miracle that Elvis wasn't busted. No
one's gonna bust Elvis. That wouldn't have happened. But the guy says, look, my step brother got out here with things most people didn't because of his money, his fortune, his fame, power, charisma, magnetism. Elvis could talk the socks off of you a lot more than socks pal and I'm sure he did just that with thousands of women. So, like I said, i've seen some of this show came out in May interviews with a bunch of women who say they were pursued by Elvis at the very young ages.
And it also goes into his relationship with Priscilla Presley. Now they at eleven year age difference, but at least she was twenty one and he was thirty two when they got married. They met when she was much younger. But I think that's that's side of the story is going to be covered a lot deeper with Sofia Coppola is it's gonna have her movie called Priscilla, which
comes out in October. Knowing the way she makes movies and she spent a lot of time in this movie, I think this is gonna be the penultimate documentary about Priscilla and Elvis. I don't think Sofia Coppola was gonna get this wrong. She's too good at what she does. So that's the one I'm looking forward to the most. And a matter of fact, a lot of people at Elvis's estate have gone on the record saying this films a piece of
shit. They call it horrible, feels like a college movie. One of the officials they're reported, you know, I think TMZ was talking to the people at grace Land, and they also know that that Priscilla has been supportive of the film. She wrote on Instagram that she's excited about the interpretation of my book by the masterful Sophia Coppola because, like I said, she's got extraordinary perspective and I've always been such an admirer of her work. I'm certain
this movie will make everyone on an emotional journey. Yeah, just like Austin Butler did on the Elvis movie. It's just amazing to me. In the span of a week, we get to see this country's fascination with Elvis and the Titanic. I know Titanic was, you know, one hundred eleven years ago, but it's always talked about and documentaries are always made. Hope for now they won't do it again for a while. What else can you say, but God, Elvis and the Titanic just rest. We should let them
rest. The guy was killing himself slowly with drugs for years. He always thought, no, he didn't like his entourage to have illegal drugs on him. Elvis just thought if a doctor sign a prescription, he was good to go, and there's nothing illegal about that, even though he was overprescribed and had so many more prescriptions than he actually needed and could always get them with the snap of a finger. You think Elvis went to a doctor himself.
Now he had ten of twelve guys going to doctors and getting all sorts of prescription for him. And that's the way it goes. When you're big and powerful and you got all the money in the fame and the magnetism, you know, you got friends will do that shit. I had friends do things for me, and I was a nobody. There's always hangers on who just want to him a little bit of your gleam, a little bit of your
What do you got going on in your life? I like it. I see it from the outside in, but I want to be in the inside. I want to see it really close. I wants on my own stuff. That's when friendships begin a little difficult because little jealousies developed. You got to be careful. Love that guy who always had your back, suddenly he doesn't want to get your Let's say, I hate to say this word, your leftovers. Let's put it out with the girls that you figure I'm not
gonna be with the night. I want this girl instead. And you know a lot of friends thought to go, I don't like this ship. I don't want leftovers again. I want the real pretty girl. I want the prettiest girl. It's not gonna happen with overs in the room, you know. But like I said, guy's been He was killing himself slowly with drugs,
the slow slow death. It can be fast, but I guess he had a talent for mixing the wrong drugs just precisely enough before it became too much like Michael Jackson, like a lot of people, like Prince, like so many people. But I don't see this as a suicide at all. This is a tormented drug addict who overdose after years of destroying his body. His body was shot, and we know he liked little girls. We know Priscilla was young. So you know, I don't know what they're doing with
this, with this documentary. There's too much stuff being put on streamers. I know we all want to see content, but I just said this on the Patreon show. These streamers are putting out too many movies, too much content that really wouldn't pass muster several years back, certainly wouldn't have made it into theaters. But after the pandemic, you know, Hollywood and these streamers have to recoup money they didn't make, so they have green lit so many
things. I just went down a list of the shittiest things to watch on Netflix and Amazon and Hulu. It's an endless list, and it really has changed the way we get our entertainment. Like, I don't I like binging sometimes I like being home and having a lot to do and going on, I'm gonna watch you know, a couple of seasons of this show, you go through sixteen episodes. It's a lot of time. It's a lot of time. Two days you watch two seasons. Sometimes you can do a whole
season and one day if you talk Eli enough in the morning. But then you tend to forget what happens. There's something about a show unraveling every week that you tend to remember climactic moments a month, two months from now. But when you see it all in a day or two, you sit down with your friend and go, wait, was he the eight that girl? What happened in the first and second episode? Did her mother die? Did
she get murdered? Like, you're just getting so much content. It's it's filled up your body to the brim and you don't have any other space to just kick shit around, kick the tires, like what do I not remember? It's just you get inundated with stuff and that's just not the way it should be. That's not the way you should enjoy movies or TV series. Could you imagine if we could we could have binged All in the Family or mash those shows never would have been as good, nor minds. I don't
think so. But you know, you also got to figure it that of us was a guy we all know, greatest entertaining, one of the greatest entertainers of all time, blessed with the beautiful voice, but also grew up in a very dysfunctional family, not a lot of money, very talented, but also deeply flawed. And you know, the press and people in Hollywood, and we put entertainers on pedestals, but we tend to forget these celebrities all have feet of clay like we do. And if the spotlight's too hot,
the ankles thought to melt, and the entertainment topples over. Actually, don't laugh for the National Enquirer, who believe it or not, gets a lot of things right, they really do. When I was writing for the tabloids, one of the bosses there it was like, which one do you want to write for? Radar, Star or National Enquirer? I said, well, how do you How do you think the difference is a Puccino's periodicals? He goes, Oh, Radars, Radars basically mostly made up stuff.
Star Magazine is a little more. We tend to blow the kernel up, blow up the kernel of the story into a bigger story, and the Inquirer we stand behind what the Inquirer has most of the time, so they are different in that respect. So the National Inquirer they did a big investigation on Elvis's children, apparently, and they found that he had seven or eight children by various women, and he took care of them all. They all got payouts. I think one or two were even adopted. And then that report
was repeated recently in another tablet. I can't remember, but you can find it online and you looked it was different times. Back then, people got married young and early early marriages were very common. I'm not defending Elvis if that's the case, but you got to remember the age of consent in a lot of states was anywhere from thirteenth to fifteen and the fifties, sixties, and seventies, so it wasn't looked down upon. In fact, goes into
some music from the sixties and seventies. Go listen to Gary Pucket and a Union Gap sing young girl, My God, young girl, get out of my mind. My love for you is way out of line. Better wrong girl, You're a much too young girl. No, I just got discussed to hearing that last time. I used to love this song when I was a kid, but I was a kid in the sixties where this sort of thing happened with all the charms of a woman. You kept the secret of
your youth. You led me to believe you're old enough to give me love, and now it hurts to know the truth. Creepy, how about beneath your perfume and makeup, you're just a baby in disguise, And though you know that it's wrong to be alone with me, that come on look is in your eyes. Yeah, blame the young girl, She's the one doing it, not the adult. Get I'll smack that come on love right off your face. Girl. Go listen to Ring No Start. You're sixteen,
You're a beautiful and you're mind. We used to sing that in chorus in elementary school, and the Beatles also had I saw her standing there. The first line is, well, she was just seventeen, you know what I mean in the way she looked was baby on compare, Oh, how could I dance with another when I saw her standing there? And before the song ends, he says I fell in love with her seventeen, not as been
as fifteen and sixteen, but still teen. And then, of course, Chuck Berry, one of the creepiest rock and rollers, sweet little sixteen, she got the grown up blues, tight dresses and lipstick. She's bought in high heel shoes. Oh but tomorrow morning she'll have to change her trend and be sweet sixteen and back in class again. Oh boy, Chuck Berry to pee on chicks and even smacked him in the face, fart in their mouths.
I saw it with my eyes. Peon chicks, smack him, put his put his hands in their mouth, fart in their face while he was naked. There's an old, grainy black and white video of him in a hot tub. You can find it. I think I like porn sites. That's where I found it. I was looking at I had heard about it. I said, let me try a porn hub or red tube and I'm
looking and yeah, it's a grainy, old black on white video. They're in like a hot tub, and he's kind of rough and tough with this girl, not a girl, she's a woman, but still literally farts in her face, smacks her and peas on him. Is this where r Kelly picked up his creepy habits? Honestly, the whole Elvis thing sounds like the stepbrother was broke broke, an old and kooky eighty five. But look, make no mistake, Elvis was a heart attack waiting to happen. There was
no suicide. Speak enough guys who have had mild heart attacks, not real heart attacks. But Big scares Chris, No mister big from Sex in the City, law and Order, Oh my god, and the Good Wife. This guy is still counting money from law and Order, still counting money from the Good Wife, still counting sex in the city money. And yet he's been on ice. Now, he says he feels iced out by Sarah Jessica Parker and the other sex in the City hens after he was hit with multiple
sexual assault allegations two years ago, almost three. Now he thinks to cast oz him an apology because they gave him the call's shoulder. Listen. I know Chris Noath. I coached his son for two years in soccer. Chris was always the games. I've been to his house, gracious host, through a beautiful holiday party, through a party when we when we're an undefeated number one the soccer team. His son was really good. Him, his son
and Rocco somewhe were just terrific. And now we were undefeated and one the whole thing. He doesn't like that he's not invited today parties, doesn't get greeting cards or happy birthday texts. He wants s JP, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis to be more friendly. He just wonders why they leave him
out in the cold. Look, the thing is this, Chris Nolf was never charged with a crime, and he's always maintained that the sexual stories but his accusers were all consensual, which is a little bit tough to mention because he was married for one or two of those and his wife not the kind
of woman who would want to put up with that. I haven't talked to him in a long time, but yeah, all these accusations hit just when they're stupid reboot and just like that debuted multiple woman came forward and as you remember, he was killed off right away. But these stories, you know, accusations made against him or anybody by individuals that somebody meets decades ago.
It's just it's hard for a man to sit there and see this happen to another man when there's no court, there's no actual charges, and yet everything in his life gets flushed down the toilet. You know, he knows no always means no, and they were aligns you don't cross. He's a big boy. I used to be in the same clubs as Chris back in the New York City days when he was doing a long honor. Chris had a lot of fun. Wasn't married back then. There was a time where he's
dating the former big supermodel Beverly Johnson. She had made claims after they broke up that he that he hit her, that he used to be tough and rough with her. I don't know. I think she was looking with some money. Beverley Johnson found a way to hang out with some very wealthy men in Los Angeles who could help her out with money because she hadn't worked in many, many years. And I know she's still don't have those modeling money
from the seventies and eighties. But when I first when when the me too moving first broke, I remember I was having practice. Actually we're getting ready for a game, and Chris knew. What I did he know was I was a gossip column in New York City and he's like he knew my relationship with Harvey Weinstein because I was in newspaper articles about him, and he came up to me one day and very sheepishly said, hey, man, I mean, how far back are they're gonna go with this me too stuff?
Do you have any idea? And it always struck me as eerie that he asked that question, says most guys, if you're innocent, why even worry about how far back they go? But if you're asking me, like a guy who was involved in the stories and knows the players, how many years they're gonna go back, it's almost like, you know, I mean, I'm a little nervous now, I'm not gonna lie. Chris Dolf had a ball as a single guy, good looking guy, you know, big,
tall, handsome dude, very magnetic, big hit show. Owned the nightclub in New York City. He was out of the ball. So sure, there's gonna be women you take around, or you have a one night or here, or one night or there, and maybe you didn't call them when you got home, maybe you didn't walk him to the car. There could be a multitude of reasons why a girl decides that's son of a bitch, I'm gonna get him. But they weren't getting him five years after the fact,
What three years or seven years or five six years. No, they waited twenty five and thirty. That's what bugs me. They waited until the meat tube movement came out. You already know most of you know. I'm not a believable woman. Guy. I think it's the stupidest phrase ever coined. You don't believe all women anymore than you believe all men. People lie, whether they got tits or a penis, it doesn't matter. Translies. Everybody lies. I don't believe anybody. You just always, you know,
kind of cock your head and hope to telling the truth. But it didn't sit right to he asked me that question. He might know that there was some nights way back in the day where you know, it's not this didn't go this day didn't go the way I planned. Didn't. Maybe the girl can get mad at me down the road. And when this ship was really breaking, Harvey Weinstein told me himself, and maybe you've heard me say this, I don't really want to believe it. But he was about to go
away. I talked to him when he was in rehab Sex for You, and he didn't like the fact that I talked to the New York Times, even though I had to because they were mentioning me as some kind of helper of his, and I said, hey, man, damn right, I talked because my story wasn't getting out there, and I have a family defeat, I have jobs to keep. I'm not gonna let myself get moneyed around with some bullshit story that I helped you. You asked for my help before
you told me it was about rate charges. It was just a hit piece on you that's happened in the past because you're being a bully, etc. He goes, you know what, ja, I just I'm surprised you'd talk. You know, either you're a street guy like me, you know this kind of shit. I said, Harvey, Look, they were all consentual.
It goes absolutely every one of them. Means you know something, j If you were if you were still in New York right now, and and you had the kind of life you had when you were running around New York City prints of the city gossip column is plenty of women, plenty of fun, somebody would have come after you too. There's no way it proved that I didn't move out of the country. I moved to a different city. They could still come after me, but no one did. Knock Wood.
But you know, as a man, you wonder well. I mean, I never made a girl do something she didn't want to do, and no always meant no for me, because first of all, I didn't hear no very often. Second of all, I always had options, as much as a guy like Chris Nolf had options. I got like Harvey didn't have options. He had to throw himself at a woman and you know, harangue her
because he just wasn't a good looking guy. He was very powerful and wealthy, and that goes a long way, but his look certainly didn't match his power. So you know, I had options. If a girl was maybe not into it or didn't want to stay out later I couldn't get I would leave before the word the letter end formed at the tip of her lips. I'm like, no problem, no problem, I'll talk to you then some other time. And I called another girl who was down and was like,
yeah, let's go out. So that could have happened, but no one's ever gonna know. You know, I just think he shouldn't be worried or feel badly about these girls given him the call shoulder. I know. He was fired from his show The Equalizer and that ad for Peloton that was a joke. They scrapped out his agency, a three artists got rid of them. They killed him off in the first episode of the spinoff. So now you've got s JP, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis jumping to the front
of the line to speak out against his sex allegation sex assault allegations. They put out that joint statement after the news broke. We're deeply saddened to hear these allegations against Chris Noath. We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be very difficult, a difficult thing to do, and we commend them for it. Nothing about We've known Chris for X amount of years. While this is a very difficult time to
go through. We'd like to believe our friend and co stars innocent of charges until proven guilty, something along those lines. But no, not with those three yentas, and as of last year, Sara Jessica Parker hasn't talked to him once. I think, and I said this way back, I think they owed him an apology because they jumped on him so goddamn quickly, and they condemned him right away, and there were there were never any charges nothing.
The way they supported the women with claims against him, to me was shady, was too quick. Either they turned on him, you know, they turned on someone considered a friend for years just to appear woke, or they knew that this stuff might have happened. Maybe it happened to them, and they continue to be his friend until they were exposed. So take your pick. If I was talking to him, I'd say, Chris, you dodged a bullet and just like that is a shit show. You don't want
to be anywhere near that show. If they didn't get you this time for the sexual assault allegation, which had not been proven, they find another way to get you. He would have been charged by now. It's my contention the women accusing him were all looking for a quick payout, or maybe they're out for revenge being bumped and dumped. Like I said earlier, I think having known him for a while and ran in the same circles as he did, I would say he was a serial cheater, nothing more than that.
Now. I'm not saying he did this on his wife. I didn't really hang with him back that I hang with him. His single. That's the way I see it. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right, But you know, I was gonna say, you know, all three of these chicks voted for Biden. I'm sure Obama definitely Clinton with all the women who lined up with accusations against him, but that never mattered. He was teflon. Biden has his own indiscretions that we see and hear about. Doesn't matter them.
The Tower read story that wasn't interesting to talk about. They couldn't condemn Joe Biden when the two read story brokes sound pretty believable. So I was gonna say, you know, all these chicks voted for Biden and they're all liberals. Then I remembered Chris Note is a huge liberal. We went to his house one night for a holiday party, big old party. I'm out by the back bar and Trump was running about to run for president, and
somehow the topic of the presidential election came up. I was talking to his female bartender and she was a Trump, a Trump person too, but she said, just keep it down. I don't want to. I said, I'm not scared. I'm old Trump. I'm Trump all day. Fuck this democrat liberal. No Trump all day Chris hears that and goes, wait, man, wait man, I don't want to hear that in my house. I go, yeah, I'm Trump all day. I don't want these liberals in a white house. No way. We had enough of his ship.
We need to clean this country up. I'm sick of this. He got a little spirited in his backyard, and about four or five days before that, he goes, hey, man, Anthony's holiday party. Let's get together, you and I alone, but I'll get some drinks and shoot the shit.
I said, great. Because he had just had knee surgery. He stayed in New York while we played in LA and he would call on FaceTime and I'd hold his wife's phone, call her, and I take the phone into the huddle so Chris could be in the huddle with us or at the halftime speech. And he didn't really like to add too much. She used to always tell me, you, coach, you talk to my son. He won't listen to me. He's at that age where he won't listen to
me. I found it odd too, because there's no way Rockle doesn't listen to me. I would never tell another man you talked to him. He will listen to me, but he was a good guy to have a round. I enjoyed his company, but we never went out. I think because he heard that Trump stuff, he didn't want any part of me. And now these three yentis who all voted for Biden and are all woke liberals,
now they want no part of you. So in Italian we say spooda spitting the sky and it falls in your face, and that's what seems to have happened to year. That's it for today, gang, I'm aj Benza. That was your free show from Monday, June twenty six, twenty twenty three. Fame is a bitch manic Monday. I might put another one out during the week. I think I have enough energy to do it.
