NEW YORK, NY - Reputed NY Mobster Shoots Man for Heckling Singer: NEW
YORK (Reuters) - The scene in one of Police said Broadway
chanteuse Rena Strober was singing "Don't Rain on My Parade"
at Rao's, an East Harlem restaurant, Monday night when a patron, Albert
Circelli, criticized her Reputed Lucchese crime family
associate Louis Barone, 67, of the Bronx, told him, "Hey, watch
your mouth," the wiseguy told Circelli, his lips twisting into a
scowl. "Mind your manners. You're talking about a lady."
Circelli responded by turning
his venom on Barone, telling him, "F- - - you, I'll f- - - you in
the ass and I'll split you in two," Barone later told cops. Barone
then pulled out a .38-caliber revolver and shot him in the A second shot fired by Barone
ripped through the left foot of Al Petraglia, 57, who was sitting at a
table with his cousin Ron Straci, the co-owner.
Barone dropped the revolver,
walked out of the restaurant and was arrested by police officers. Circelli, 37, died of his
wounds and Petraglia was treated in the hospital, police said.
Strober,
best known for her Broadway stint as Cosette in "Les Miserables,"
said she wasn't aware of Circelli's heckling. She said she had been The alleged Genovese mobster,
nicknamed "Louie Lump Lump", grew up two blocks from Rao's.
Rao's ( http://www.raos.com/ ) is a
10-table restaurant that accommodates only 40 people. It has a
reputation for exclusivity and a Mafia mystique, but police said the
shooting was not a mob "hit." The other co-owner, Frank
Pellegrino, appears in guest spots on "The Sopranos" as an FBI
agent. While most shrugged off
questions from reporters, Lita Ribellino, 63, of Marlboro, N.J., who has
a regular table, said she's a customer for life. "Even though it's
in Harlem, it's the safest place to come to," she said. "I was
surprised. Things like that don't happen here." "That's some of the panache," said Bronx lawyer Murray Richman, a Thursday-night regular at Rao's since 1965. "It's an unfortunate thing that happened, but it will not change a thing. It'll just add to the mystique."

- LOCAL PIMP DECAPITATED: Alphonse
Lacroix, 27, a local pimp, known for specializing in underage prostitutes,
was found dead in an alley, his head nearly cut clean off of his body.
Forensics investigators say that Lacroix's body appears to have been moved
from the actual murder scene. 
There
was no blood found at the scene. A .38 snub-nosed
revolver, used recently, was found on his body, emptied shells near the
corpse. There were no witnesses, and police have no suspects at this time.
Three girls in his stable have turned themselves in to DCPD to try and get
off the streets, possibly even going back home.
Spring, MD, was found
dead in a parking lot across
the street from notorious nightclub Web of Night last week. Huxor's pants
and undershorts were bunched around his ankles, and there was a condom
still partially covering his penis, though there was no signs of
ejaculation within it. His throat had been slit. Huxor was last seen in
the Web earlier last Saturday night, and was said by acquaintances to have
left alone, that they knew of. Police have no suspects in the slaying, and
Web security cameras do not extend beyond their private parking lot on the
South side of the block.
neighboring Eastern Loudoun Counties,
Virginia, were disturbed and vandalized in the past week. Caskets and
tombs were dug up and disinterred, though investigators cannot discern
whether the culprit was human or animal. The haphazard digging marks seem
to be from sharp, pointed objects rather than shovels, perhaps a pick axe.
There is no known connection to the deceased save that all molested graves
were recent burials. No further information is available at this time.

NORTHWEST -
Apparently Gabby Wildwood and her erstwhile
yo-yo lover, Loki, have the same taste in men, rumours have it, as judged
by his antics at the little gathering at Bound a few weeks ago. It seems
that we were unaware that the Trickster God was feeling a little left out,
what with the Gabster throwing herself at the more delicious looking
(thought not much more terribly masculine) young,
violet-eyed man in black leather, and so our intrepid hero took to
chatting up the newcomer himself after the others had left. Curiouser and

Washington's elite was treated to them last year - she is a stunning
redhead, a much classier version of stripper Gabby Wildwood, whose talents
lie in more legitimate media. Why hide that from the world?

- SEX DEGREES OF SEPARATION: Who says size
doesn't matter? Hot on the heels of his trial by fire and resounding
comeback into his 15 minutes, A&F's latest ponyboy, Jaymes Lovier, was
seen recently upgrading his dark haired lady companion to something in the
extra large range. 
But
surely this new love interest is no Amazon, as clearly she had both her
breasts intact, judging by the attire she sported while chatting up Sir
Lovier in Web of Night a couple weeks ago. And whither our chanteuse,
slaving away no doubt for her Christmas Eve performance... The price one
pays for fame may be eternal loneliness.
And,
the Web of Night wasn't the only place sponsoring a little swapping action
over the holidays. Several sources cited that DC's newest golden couple,
Lady Helen and Cross, may be already on the outs... either that or they're
into swinging in more ways than just the Phantasm's music. Lady Helen
apparently left their table to use the restrooms, and in that short period
of time, another young lady at their 
table,
who looks amazingly like the striking brunette with Professor Aphestus in
the Hush during Kitty Whittier's interview with Kailian Abyssinian. We
don't know her name yet, but we hope to hell Cross does, as he
double-crossed Helen with said brunette cuddling in his lap in full view
of the club. Makes one dizzy just keeping this all straight...

a site of religious and political violence today as Jews and
Muslims clashed outside the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. The
Muslim mosque is built on the site of the ancient Hebrew Temple
and overlooks the so-called Wailing Wall, the last remains of the
Temple and holiest site in Judaism. Riots broke out today after
local airwaves were suddenly (and thus far, inexplicably) flooded
with a recorded message stating in both Hebrew and Arabic that,
"The temple will be rebuilt." Authorities say that
Muslims at the Mount tried to eject Jews from the area around the
Wall, while Jews tried to enter the Dome of the Rock itself.
Thirty-one people were dead before the time authorities arrived to
quell the riot.
