Kafka

“April 27. Incapable of living with people, of speaking. Complete immersion in myself, thinking of myself. Apathetic, witless, fearful. I have nothing to say to anyone - never.”

LiLo Tragedy Rolls On

I question my inclination to keep track of this unfolding tragedy, but it is hard not to be fascinated by a train wreck.

_ _ _

As if she weren't royally screwed enough ... Lindsay Lohan's tax problems have become so extreme ... the IRS has seized ALL of her bank accounts in order to repay her massive outstanding debt.

As we reported, Uncle Sam has filed tax liens against Lindsay for the years 2009 and 2010 -- claiming she owes $233,904 in unpaid federal taxes.

Charlie Sheen generously paid Lindsay $100,000 to help alleviate Lindsay's 2009 tax problem -- but we're told Charlie's check barely scratched the surface ... because Lindsay also owes money for 2011.

The IRS has given Lindsay ample time to pay up -- but the Man's tired of waiting ... so we're told the IRS has seized ALL her bank accounts in order to settle her debt.

Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ, she's in full-on panic mode about her financial situation, and is desperately trying to make some cash to get out of the red.

In 1953, Marilyn appeared on The Jack Benny Show. Because of her lousy contract with Fox, she wasn’t allowed to receive money for the appearance. She could, however, receive a gift, and so Jack Benny bought her a brand new black convertible Cadillac.

'Elvis' tags on Tumblr

I finally figured out to search for 'Elvis' tags on Tumblr. I need more of him in my blogging life. I have been a bit 'Marilyn Monore' heavy lately.

Lots of Marilyn Lately

I'm feeling it even more, since I am reading that sensationalistic account of her last days, "Marilyn at Rainbow's End". But no one has a gun to my head. I'm kind of enjoying this deluge of all things Marilyn. I wonder if I am going to start dreaming about her...
