Alycia Lane Is All Over, Everywhere
 |
The main story is, of course, her attempt to call Gov. Rendell after being arrested. This, of course, makes absolutely little to no sense, but, hey, maybe Eddie has power over the NYPD, too. Or maybe he just drives so fast he could post bail for her quickly. (Jon Corzine would work, too.)
Rendell spokesman Chuck Ardo confirmed the call at a specific time of 5 p.m. yesterday with this excuse: She wanted the governor to "make sure he knew her side of the story because he is an opinion-maker and runs around in influential circles." Alycia, come on! You know the person you really needed to call is me.
CBS 3's holiday special, Celebrate the Season, will air tonight, although Lane will probably be cut from it. Lane's people are denying the allegations and suddenly she's starting to look way more sympathetic than Jocelyn Kirsch to a lot of people. An Imus-like comeback? Maybe, but at least Celebrate the Season will get a healthy ratings bump.
The call to Rendell plays right into certain hands, of course. By that I mean ridiculous bloggers who have to attach politics to everything. In this instance it's "Robbie" who apparently thinks Alycia Lane reports on national politics or anything other than flirtingintraffic.com:
And because I’m inclined towards wild speculation — seeing that this is Philly, and that Ms. Lane is part of the MSM, I’ll bet you dollars to pennies that if you were to look into how Ms. Lane votes and the candidates whom she donates to, that shes a Democrat.
Not that it matters…but I’ll bet I’m right.
And if so, the Left should be aghast that one of their own would use a homophobic slur like “dyke bitch” against a female cop.
When will the presidential candidates condemn the words of Democratic power broker Alycia Lane? And you thought this was a story unworthy of the front page, Namako; this has serious implications! (The design of the feature he's talking about is infuriating; the second part from yesterday was particularly interesting.)
Alycia Lane boyfriend Chris Booker -- the Edward Anderton to her Jocelyn Kirsch -- is standing by his woman, although Dan Gross and Regina Medina have told us he missed a mandatory Q102 holiday concert!
The Q102 morning DJ was with Lane when she was released about 5 p.m. Sunday from a Manhattan jail. Booker was a no-show at Q102's Jingle Ball concert Sunday night at the Tweeter Center in Camden featuring Avril Lavigne, Timbaland and Good Charlotte. All Q102 DJs were supposed to be there.
What about Preston and Steve? Where do they fit in?

It's more than a little shady that she calls the gov and he actually went on the radio today defending her. What's going on there...

It is indeed an interesting commentary on the priorities of the media that pictures taken from my birthday party and posted to my MySpace page are more newsworthy than some seemingly more pressing news stories and photos.

Sachem North! I wondered where she went to high school and now it make sense- the same high school as Jeff Ruland!

It's not every day that you see an anchor allegedly punch a cop, either. Maybe that's why it's newsworthy? Perhaps. It's not our place to judge though but I'm sure that those who would like to judge would like to judge those bikini pics!

Alycia Lane's still a babe,maybe a bit hot headed.The tabloid press will most likely hound her beautiful ass after the picture thing and arrest.People in the public eye can't get away with the normal crap most of us do and nobody,but family knows about it.

The bottom photo is her High School Yearbook photo. In an interview she complained her mother wouldn't allow her to wear make-up for the photo. I guess she got her back.

Will Lane end up blaming Booker for basically ending her life? He is beyond hateful, shame on him for what he has done!!
