Yup, He's More Than Star's Ex...He's Cleaner Than the Board of Health!

History has provided us with some great lines.

And....

"My mother used to tell me that 'you look cleaner than the board of health'"

"I never dated anyone like Star before ( ) and I fell in love with her mind, I fell in love with our friendship and the conversations that we used to have," he said. "Star and I would sit on the phone at night and talk like we were in high school.

That's kind of how we developed this friendship that then blossomed into love and a relationship."

"When you read about me in the paper, it's always as Star Jones' ex-husband. I want people to know that I'm more than just Star Jones' ex-husband. I'm Al Reynolds."

"I am not a homosexual"

Yes, big Al I will admit you sure look clean as a whistle, very masculine, and much more than just "Mr. Star Jones" Now get outta here with your bad ole' "metrosexual" self. Geez, next thing you know people will start gossiping that Dumbledore is.... oh my.....

Must be getting kinda' crowded in there....

A Little Song, a Little Dance, a Little Seltzer Down Your Pants.

The Aging Disco Diva is back on the dance floor. The granddivo arrived about a month earlier than he was supposed to and was released from the hospital two days after his coming out party, and then re-hospitalized for a few more days . Thankfully he is back home groovin' to the oldies (which for him would be whatever was on the radio a week ago, LOL)

Chuckles the Clown goes to that Clown Car in the sky

Well, not quite Chuckles, but Bozo the Clown.

LOS ANGELES—Larry Harmon, who turned the character Bozo the Clown into a show business staple that delighted children for more than a half-century, died Thursday of congestive heart failure. He was 83.

His publicist, Jerry Digney, told The Associated Press he died at his home.

Although not the original Bozo, Harmon portrayed the popular clown in countless appearances and, as an entrepreneur, he licensed the character to others, particularly dozens of television stations around the country. The stations in turn hired actors to be their local Bozos.

"You might say, in a way, I was cloning BTC (Bozo the Clown) before anybody else out there got around to cloning DNA," Harmon told the AP in a 1996 interview.

Dear lord, cloning clowns...that will keep me up all night long. The Diva hates clowns. If there is a hell, it is not populated with red creatures with pitchforks, it is run by clowns.... scary clowns...

Wait a minute, that is redundant...all clowns are scary. REALLY, really scary.

Clowns creeped me out when I was a kid. I am so friggin' old I remember Bozo the Clown on WPIX back in the early 60s...shudder... and then Steven King just solidified my clown phobia with his book "It" The television movie just put onto celluloid my deepest horrors. Thanks a lot Mr. King.
