Merv Griffin was Gay ?
2007-08-19 22:17:00
Merv Griffin was Gay?  The story was posted on a "reputable" website.  Then it was taken down.  Then it was up again, and now I don't know what happened to the story.  I guess it's a "sensitive" topic for such famous man who never went public about his gay life.  Not that anyone is required to do that.  Ray Richmond used to work for Merv Griffrin and is one of the writers/reporters for a website focused Hollywood and celebrities.  I don't find it surprising that Merv was gay, except that it was such an open secret yet nobody ever "outed" him.  You should read the story yourself - - it's very interesting.

Merv Griffin, Iris Chacon, and Latin Beauty Stereotype
2007-08-14 21:27:00
Two stars aligned to make this post relevant. First, Merv Griffin passed away this week (R.I.P). I remember watching his show a few times as a kid and enjoying it. The interviews I've heard this week all speak kindly of him and certainly he's a man to admired for his work ethic and success in business. Second, I watched the movie El Cantante, which I'll review later today. In one scene, Jennifer Lopez competes with a television image of Iris Chacon for husband Marc Antony's attention by dancing for him in a sort of "battle of the butts" (and earning El Cantante one bonus star in the Asymmetric rating scheme). In a lot of ways, Lopez and Chacon are very similar. Both are Puerto Rican; both can dance well, but can't sing; and both are paid attention to for one (or two, depending on how you count) physical...umm...asset; although Iris Chacon is funnier and more likable than the imperiously obnoxious "diva," Jennifer Lopez. Although both were popular at the same time, for rea...

Merv Griffin has passed away at age 82. It?s a sad day for the world
2007-08-13 03:21:00
I’m not sure there’s a North American household that hasn’t been touched in some sort of positive way by the legendary Merv Griffin, who sadly passed away today at age 82. Merv passed due to a revisit from prostate cancer, which he developed and then beat about 10 years ago. From singing, to hosting a talk show, to owning hotels and of course, producing much-beloved TV game shows Merv Griffin was a legend in many different respects: Griffin’s first success came from singing the 1950 novelty hit “I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts,” and he spent 23 years hosting a talk show that bore his name. For years it was the most successful syndicated U.S. television program. Griffin owned 17 hotels at his peak, according to Rolling Stone magazine, as well as casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and the Bahamas. “If it’s not broke, fix it anyway,” he once said. Griffin’s fortune eventually reached an estimated $1 billion as ...
