  • If it weren’t for Norm!, Review Journal readers would have never heard of Leslie Durant, the former playmate and former mayor’s wife (I don’t know which is more disturbing) who was caught being cuddled by the Gibbers at the Reno rodayo. Norm! ran the story earlier this week as part of column about how Playboy has enriched the high culture of southern Nevada, such as it is. Today he dug up one of Ms. Durant’s earlier pics back when she worked for Hugh Hefner. (Norm!) Remember the movie “Men in Black” where the tabloids had the real news about what’s going on and the more respectable papes usually had it wrong? The Review Journal is like that because Norm! is usually the only part that gets stuff right.
  • For some odd reason, a Reno TV station finally got around to publishing a story about the recall effort against the Nevada Governor. (KTVN) One wonders if they usually sit on their stories for a year and a half. And it took that long to get 817 signatures? They’ll hit the 150,000 mark sometime in the next millennium. Think 2010, folks. This time we may have Reid family trust money working against the Guber. He’s a one term wonder for sure.
  • Dennis Myers notes this about the expensive search for Steve Fossett: “Gibbons said he was under pressure from prominent people in the
    aviation world to keep the search for the famed flier going, then he
    retracted that statement.” (RN&R) This was after Gibbons denied being in charge of the search, and after an email from the boss of the Nevada National Guard said the exact opposite.
  • Oh yeah. The Gibbons’ divorce made a Slate mag’s list of celebrity divorces despite the fact that no one involved in the Gibbonses’s divorce is a celebrity.
