Publicity stunts are weak

NEW YORK (CBS) Harry Hamlin and his wife Lisa Rinna appeared on the "Today" show yesterday, only to be told that their boutique in Sherman Oaks, Calif., had been robbed.

According to published reports, the 58-year-old star of "L.A Law" allegedly had $10,000 worth of designer clothing stolen, and Hamlin announced the news live on television.

The New York Post reported that during the couple's interview to promote their new books and reality show, Hamlin suddenly answered a call on his cell phone and said, "Our clothing store is being robbed as we speak," before adding, "ADT is useless...our alarm company was supposed to take care of this, and they did nothing."

Hamlin and Rinna's new reality show, "Harry Loves Lisa," debuts on TV Land tonight.

Three things learned from this story:

1) Their interview alone isn't going to be enough to gain viewers for their lame tv show.

2) Their store isn't getting enough customers so it consequently gets robbed at the same time they are doing an interview.

3) And Lisa Rinna's lips don't look any better than what they were.

But you already knew that of course.

I don't think anyone thought we could get the Kinnick crowd to pull off the stripe effect, but we did it. Note to self: if I ever realize my lifelong dream of pulling off a coup d'etat in this country, remember that the Iowans follow directions well. Very well. Don't write that last part down. It was an impressive effort, but I think we have just touched the tip of the iceberg in terms of fan color coordination. We can, nay, we must go farther. Here are the color coordination instructions I have prepared for the Wisconsin game: If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 1-15, you should wear navy If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 16-25, you should wear royal blue If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 26-40, you should wea...

A Heartless Woman

Mindy Greany WATERLOO,IA --- A Grundy Center woman has been sentenced to prison for stealing from people with disabilities. As a credit counseling company employee, Mindy Sue Greany, 31, oversaw the funds of the blind and mentally challenged --- people who needed help keeping track of their money. Instead, she siphoned more than $100,000 from their accounts at Family Management Credit Counselors in Waterloo. On Friday, District Court Judge Margaret Lingreen sentenced Greany to spend up to 10 years in prison for her pleas to six counts of first-degree theft, eight counts of second-degree theft and one count of third-degree theft. One of the credit counseling clients had a simple question for Greany when he took the witness stand during sentencing. "He said 'Why did you steal from me?'" said Roger Goldsberry, director of Family Management Credit Counselors. Greany was an administrative assistant at the organization and took money between July 2003 and July 27, 2...
