Blowing off Alice Braga for Boom Boom Mancini
Friday night I attended the premiere of David Mamet's Jiu-Jitsu film, "Redbelt" and joined the entertainment media on the red carpet.
While there I turned down an interview opportunity with the woman on the left to talk to the man on the right.
Then Salman Rushdie sat next to me during the movie.
It's a strange job. But it beats my old one, in which I currently would be obsessing over the Saints' trade offers for the Giants' tight end.

I haven't heard the words "Jiu Jitsu" in thirty years. Of course that immediately reminds of the great politically incorrect and offensive cartoon character from Dick Tracy cartoons - Joe Jitsu. If anyone remembers "So sorry, excuse please" as he flung Pruneface and Itchy back and forth it has to be Neil Best. Come on, tell me I'm not the only one who remembers this stuff.
What about the great Hi Karate aftershave commercial with Fran Tarkenton showing his scrambling ability by avoiding a group of late 60's models on the field at Yankee Stadium after dousing himself with the product? Remember that one.
When Salman Rushdie's sitting next to you, how many times do you think about the word "fatwa?"
