So there was this legendary rock producer? And he was a real weirdo who lived in a castle and was obsessed with guns and hating women? And this B-movie actress working at House of Blues went home with him? And her head was blown off? And the producer walked out with the gun in his hand and told his driver, "I think I just killed somebody?" Anyway, there was a trial, but the jury was hung, and so now there's going to be another. It's set for September. [Reuters]

I think more people in LA can relate with how Lana lived her life than they can Spector. Maybe next time he won't be able to bribe a juror.

@BIG WHEEL: there's some great tales about Courtney Love in Neil Strauss's book about pickup artists. She comes across as a fun person to know but a really bad house guest. My ex was a little more like a velociraptor.

I'd like to see Phil Spector and Gary Glitter choppered off to a remote island and left to rot/battle out the crazy. Also, his hairpiece supplier needs arresting for crimes against sanity.

@WGARefugee: Somehow I thought Courtney Love was going to turn out to be your ex...

Subtract the brandishing of firearms and I had a girlfriend just like him. She even had the mad Ripley's believe it or not hair, which she was constantly trying to tame with a handheld waffle iron. She could be as sweet as sorghum syrup one minute and then turn on a dime into a violent, screaming, hydra-headed hyena. She even lived in a swamp, like Shrek, and surrounded herself with dependent enablers who feared her outbursts too much to tell anyone about them. That's how someone who's highly intelligent and (untreated) bipolar rolls. They may present really well in public, especially when they are self-medicating, but home is where the demons are. I feel for Lana.

@kit10indublin: @kit10indublin: Well, the kid didn't shoot the prostitute and blow off her head, so that's at least a step in the right direction, right?
He didn't, did he?

Oddly enough, on the homepage the image linked with this story is one of Fallon, Lorne Michaels and Zucker.

The character of Z-Man in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" was supposedly based on Spector, making it extra creepy because in the movie Z-Man shoots a woman by insert a pistol in her mouth!

That would be a "shitty hair" picture of Spector as opposed to a "wombat nest" picture of Spector.

Lana Clarkson was more than a B-movie actress. She was a former client and a friend. I don't know why L.A. juries can't convict unless someone shoots a goddamn video or Gil Grissom is there to walk them through it. Other than confessing on the stand, I don't know what else they need. Rot in prison Spector.

I watched a thoroughly weird documentary on Spector some months ago on British TV. He is all kinds of truly crazy madness.
The yuckiest part came from two of his adopted children describing their bizarre & abusive upbringing. One guy said when he was very young (under the age of consent) Daddy Spector decided it was time for him to have sex so Daddy procured a prostitute for his boy. the kid was sent into the room blindfolded and performed sex with the woman regularly this way. He explained that one time he fell asleep during sex cos it was a time of day when he was used to taking a nap.
Insert vomitting here.
