Don Rickles: Racist humor still funny!

Don't get me wrong. Don Rickles is a legend and in his era race was the core of a lot of humor, and it's probably hard to teach anyone as old as he is any new tricks. But he was cracking jokes as he left Mr Chow and all of us paps were laughing, then he noticed a group of Japanese businessmen waiting for the valet. So Don squinted his eyes and made a face and started babbling asian-sounding gibberish in their direction. That was a joke?! I guess he must have been dining with Miley Cyrus, who had just left the restaurant, because almost everyone else in the world already knows that racist humor is NOT FUNNY in 2009!

About Item9

HOLLYWOOD, 2009: Dangerous and deadly car chases. Drug-fueled starlets refusing to wear underpants. D-listers begging to be photographed. Beefy bouncers with headsets and no brains. Lap dances in the gutter. Has-beens stealing your kush.

Everyone had a story, and most of them were working on a script based on that story. The landscape had changed, and what had once been a glamorous and dreamy boulevard was now a dark and seedy underground of hanger-ons and fame junkies.

That's where I came in. I could say I did it for the money, but that would make me a liar just like the rest of them. The truth is I was drawn to it. Like an accident on the side of the road. I didn't want to look, but my camera guided me, daring me not to ignore my destiny.
