The FBI’s Secret File On Marilyn Monroe
A classified file released by the FBI shows how the agency tracked Marilyn Monroe's suspected ties to communism in 1956.
The agency documented an anonymous phone call to the New York Daily News that year warning that playwright Arthur Miller was a communist and Monroe had 'drifted into the communist orbit' after her marriage to him earlier that year.
The file is just one piece of the puzzle about what the FBI knew about the actress when she died in August 1962.
The Associated Press waging an ongoing campaign to have more of the FBI documents released by the agency, coinciding with the 50th anniversary Monroe's death.
Being watched: Marilyn Monroe and her husband, playwright Arthur Miller were both suspected of communist activities by the FBI
The redacted document reveals that on July 11, 1956, the agency got a tip that an anonymous male caller phoned the Daily News to report that the actress's company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, was 'filled with communists' and that money from the company was being used to finance communist activities.
The caller said Miller's marriage to Monroe during a Jewish ceremony less than a months earlier was a 'coverup.'
Miller, the man said, 'was still a member of the CP (communist party) and was their cultural front man.'
The FBI has long made portions of its documents about Monroe public, but most of them are heavily redacted.
Surveillance: This FBI file documented an anonymous call to the New York Daily News. It's unknown how the agency found out about it
However, the FBI claims it has lost its files on the actress and cannot release them.
Finding out precisely when the records were moved - as the FBI says has happened - required the filing of yet another, still-pending Freedom of Information Act request.
The most recent version of the files is publicly available on the bureau's website, The Vault, which periodically posts FBI records on celebrities, government officials, spies and criminals.
The AP appealed the FBI's continued censorship of its Monroe files, noting the agency has not given 'any legal or factual analysis of the foreseeable harm that might result from the release of the full records.'
Marilyn Monroe is seen here with Jean Pierre Piquet, manager of Continental Hilton Hotel. The FBI has released a new version of files it kept on Monroe that reveal the names of some of her acquaintances who had drawn concern from the FBI
The star's death was ruled likely drug overdose, but questions still remain about the FBI's role in her life
Monroe's star power and fears she might be recruited by the Communist Party during the tenure of longtime FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover led to reports being taken on her activities and relationships, including her marriage to playwright Arthur Miller.
Monroe's file begins in 1955 and mostly focuses on her travels and associations, searching for signs of leftist views and possible ties to communism. The file continues up until the months before her death, and also includes several news stories and references to Norman Mailer's biography of the actress, which focused on questions about whether Monroe was killed by the government.
There have been two major government investigations into Monroe's demise - the original inquiry immediately after her death and another effort by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office in 1982. The second inquiry, released in December 1982, reviewed all files available investigative reports, including files compiled by the FBI on her death. The records, the DA's office noted, were 'heavily censored.'
That mention intrigued the man who performed Monroe's autopsy, Dr. Thomas Noguchi. While the DA investigation concluded he conducted a thorough autopsy, Noguchi has conceded that no one will likely ever know all the details of Monroe's death. The FBI files and confidential interviews conducted with the actress' friends that have never been made public might help, he wrote in his 1983 memoir 'Coroner.'
'On the basis of my own involvement in the case, beginning with the autopsy, I would call Monroe's suicide "very probable,"' Noguchi wrote. 'But I also believe that until the complete FBI files are made public and the notes and interviews of the suicide panel released, controversy will continue to swirl around her death.'

El actor Gerard Depardieu renuncia a la ciudadania francesa y se muda a Bélgica
Juan Abreu
Qué gusto me ha dado el actor Gerard Depardieu. Se muda a Bélgica, Depardieu. Porque una cosa es pagar impuestos y otra que los políticos (rapiñeros, despilfarradores y parásitos por naturaleza) te confisquen el 85% de lo que ganas con tu talento y tu esfuerzo. Cuántos cochazos de políticos, cuántas dietas de políticos, cuántas pensiones vitalicias de políticos, cuántos sueldos de amigotes, primos y querindangas de políticos no habrá pagado Depardieu con sus impuestos.
Pero se cansó Depardieu. Me parece fantástico. Admirable.
Para hacerlo todo más divertido, un ministro francés, un tal Ayrault, ha llamado “despreciable” a Depardieu por negarse a que le sigan robando de una manera tan descarada.
Depardieu le ha contestado con una estupenda carta . Depardieu, un hombre que ha pagado 145 millones en impuestos a lo largo de su vida y al que le mangaron el 85% de sus ingresos el año pasado, “despreciable”. La desvergüenza de la socialdemocracia europea es inconmensurable.
Y aún falta lo mejor. Depardieu no se ha limitado a mudarse a Bélgica. No. Renunciará a la ciudadanía francesa. Formidable. Qué maravilla alguien que se da el gusto de decirle a los políticos de su país: métanse el puto país y el puto pasaporte por el culo.

"Play it, Sam": ’Casablanca’ piano sells for $602,500 at auction
NEW YORK -- A piano used in the classic film "Casablanca" sold for just over $600,000 on Friday, falling far short of predictions that it could fetch $1 million or more.
The 58-key upright piano on which actor and singer Dooley Wilson performed "As Time Goes By," the signature song of the 1942 film's star-crossed lovers played by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, sold at Sotheby's for $602,500 including commission.

The auction house had assigned the iconic prop a pre-sale estimate of $800,000 to $1.2 million, given some astonishing prices attained by movie memorabilia in recent years.
In the film, the character Sam (Wilson) plays the signature song "As Time Goes By" during flashback scenes set in Paris, as well as in Bogart's club in Casablanca, where he and Bergman rekindle their romance.

Bieber Escapes Castration Attmept For $2,500-Per-Testicle Bounty
Excerpted from ABC News: Justin Bieber was the target of a grisly murder plot hatched by a convicted killer imprisoned in New Mexico, police told ABC News today.
Dana Martin, 45, an inmate at the Southern New Mexico Corrections Facility, is accused of masterminding the plan, which called for castrating Bieber and his bodyguard in New York, and two unnamed victims in Vermont, before strangling them, according to a New Mexico State Police affidavit.
Martin, who was sentenced to 978 years in jail for rape and murder in 2000, had an image of Bieber tattooed on his leg and plotted to kill him after his attempts to contact the 18-year-old pop star failed, according to the affidavit, which also alleged he orchestrated the plot to achieve notoriety.
Former inmate Mark Staake and his nephew, Tanner Ruane, set off for Vermont on Nov. 14 to carry out the plan, intending to continue on to New York, according to the affidavit. They intended to catch Bieber between his Nov. 28 and 29 Madison Square Garden concerts.
The three now stand accused of two counts each of conspiracy to commit murder and two counts each of conspiracy to commit aggravated battery, according to Lt. Robert McDonald of the New Mexico State Police. New Mexico is awaiting Staake and Ruane’s extraditions from the East Coast. McDonald did not know whether they had retained legal representation.
Martin wanted Ruane to attack the victims with Fiskars “Durasharp” gardening clippers, and offered to pay Ruane $2,500 for each testicle he got, the affidavit alleged.
It added that Martin wanted the intended victims strangled with a paisley necktie, just as Martin had done in a prior crime.
He referred to the murders as “the whole putting down of the ‘dogs,’” the affidavit said.
Staake, who was released in October after serving time for burglary, and Ruane left Albuquerque for Vermont, where they had plotted to kill the two unidentified victims, according to the affidavit.
However, before committing any killings, the pair missed a highway exit in Vermont near the border crossing into Canada and got stopped by a border patrol agent, according to the affidavit. Staake was arrested in Vermont on outstanding warrants.
Ruane was released, but New York State Police later arrested him after officials eavesdropped on a phone call in which Ruane and Martin allegedly made references to the murder plots, the affidavit said.
The car in which Ruane and Staake had been stopped was found to contain the pruning shears.
When prison authorities confronted him, Martin allegedly detailed the plan and gave them a hand-drawn map of where Ruane and Staake had traveled.
A representative for Bieber released this statement to ABC News: “We take every precaution to protect and ensure the safety of Justin and his fans.”

WHAT??? Nurse at Duchess Kate’s hospital who was hoaxed by DJs found dead
Updated at 1:18 p.m. ET: A nurse duped by a prank call made to the hospital where Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was treated for an extreme form of morning sickness was found dead Friday morning, the hospital said in a statement.
Two Australian DJs, Mel Greig and Michael Christian of Sydney station 2Day FM, called the hospital earlier this week and pretended to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles asking to be put through to the ward. They were then given an update on Kate’s health by a nurse.
It wasn't clear what role the nurse found dead Friday played in the incident.
The woman’s body was found at an address in Weymouth Street, London, which is around the corner from King Edward VII Hospital on Beaumont Street. Police described the circumstance of her death as "unexplained."
“It is with very deep sadness that we confirm the tragic death of a member of our nursing staff, Jacintha Saldanha,” said the statement, which was released by the hospital's public relations firm.

El dueno de la revista que publico las fotos de Kate es ...
The Wire Select/
Buckingham Palace is still fuming about the topless pictures of Kate Middleton that appeared in the French magazine Closer this week.
The Palace has commenced legal action, and Prince William was said to be intimately involved in crafting the statement that blasted the magazine for invading his privacy.
Meanwhile, an Italian magazine called Chi is planning to run a
26-page spread of the photos next week. And the French magazine, Closer,
is saying that it withheld some "more intimate" photos that it will
presumably publish if/when it feels moved to do so.
("More intimate"? Are we talking royal porn here? Is that why Buckingham Palace is so freaked?)
Anyway, you will not be surprised to learn who is ultimately pulling the levers and cashing in on this scandal.
Both the French magazine, Closer, and the Italian magazine, Chi, are owned by Italy's Mondadori publishing group.
And the Mondadori publishing group is owned by ...
You guessed it:
Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

Updated at 6:31 p.m.: Aspiring actor and filmmaker Sage Stallone, the son of action movie star Sylvester Stallone, was found dead on Friday at his home in Hollywood, authorities and his attorney said.
"Sylvester Stallone is devastated and grief-stricken over the sudden loss of his son," the actor's publicist, Michelle Bega, said in a statement. "His compassion and thoughts are with Sage's mother, Sasha."
Police and a lawyer for Sage Stallone, 36, gave conflicting accounts of how he was found, but police said there was no sign of forced entry or foul play.
The case was turned over to the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, Los Angeles police spokesman Lieutenant Andy Neiman said. Coroner's officials also said they were in the initial investigative stages.
Neiman said police found the younger Stallone in the home while responding to a "welfare check."
George Braunstein, an attorney who has represented Sage Stallone for 15 years, said a housekeeper found his body Friday afternoon. Friends and acquaintances had become concerned because they hadn't heard from Stallone in the past day, Braunstein said.

Ryan Seacrest confirms #JLo is leaving ’American Idol’
theclicker/
Just one day after Steven Tyler announced he was leaving "American Idol," host Ryan Seacrest has confirmed that Jennifer Lopez will also be departing the show's panel.
"Just confirmed with @JLo she's made up her mind...will leave idol. :( gonna miss her," he tweeted.
The singer made the announcement when she did an interview with "On Air With Ryan Seacrest" Friday morning.
"I really was dreading this phone call with you," Lopez told Seacrest. "I honestly feel the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do that I've put kind of on hold because I love 'Idol' so much. ... I could keep just doing 'Idol' for the rest of my life, but that would be giving up a bunch of other things and I just ... I don't know. We had an amazing run."
Seacrest offered to be her assistant to give the time to do all she wants and convince her, but it wasn't enough for the superstar.

Steven Tyler won't return to 'American Idol'
Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler announced Thursday that he won't be returning to judge season 12 of "American Idol."
"After some long ... hard ... thoughts ... I’ve decided it’s time for me to let go of my mistress ‘American Idol’ before she boils my rabbit," Tyler said in a statement. "I strayed from my first love, AEROSMITH, and I’m back – but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I’ve got two fists in the air and I’m kicking the door open with my band."
Tyler joined the show as a judge in season 10.
“It’s been a tremendous honor to have Steven – one of the most prolific artists in the world – on 'American Idol' for the past two seasons,” Mike Darnell, Fox's president of alternative entertainment, said in a statement. “He’s been a terrific judge, a true friend and great mentor to everyone involved with the show, and we know he’ll continue to be a huge inspiration to 'Idol' hopefuls for years to come. We are very sad that Steven has chosen to focus more on his music, but we always knew when we hired a rock ’n’ roll legend, he would go back to the music. We all wish him all the best and would love to have him back on the show anytime.”
Tyler's two-season stint on the ratings juggernaut featured many colorful comments -- some of which had to be censored -- and a lot of praise for the contestants. He also drew criticism for comments he made about some young female hopefuls, with viewers complaining that his quips were inappropriate.

A la puerta de la gloria está San Pedro sentado y ve llegar a su lado a un hombre de cierta historia. No consigue hacer memoria y le pregunta con celo: ¿Quién eras allá en el suelo? Era Liborio mi nombre. Has sufrido mucho, hombre, entra, te has ganado el cielo.
