Yoko Wants a Smoko?!?

Could that woman in the dark specs, Panama hat, and slightly tortured expression be Yoko? Oh yes! We're not entirely sure what she's demonstrating here, but the two fellas at her table sure are rapt. Imagine all the possibilities!
Yoko Ono
We spotted the former Mrs. Lennon at celebriteria Cipriani Downtown with three other guests, enjoying the same Bellinis and other delights that Greasy Bear enjoyed just a few days ago. Only in New York can one possibly run into rock greatness or a fabulous celeb in a club ... or Yoko and Greasy Bear.

46. Top 5 Things Yoko Ono and Courtney Love Have In Common.

5) Both have voices that can kill grass

4) Both ignorantly think that they have talent.

3) Both live off the fame (and fortune) of their dead husbands

2) Both helped screw up their husband’s lives/careers

The number one thing Yoko Ono and Courtney Love have in common is:

Both are a living anti-drug commercial. The message, "do drugs and you could wake up married to this!"


A ugly wife... lol

47. Yoko Ono successfully put the last nails in the coffin of one of the greatest music creators in the history of mankind, The Beatles could possibly be even still be together if it weren't for her, everything could have been different, like they say, the 6 bullets all hit John, why couldn't at least one hit Yoko?

48. I think Yoko deserves a painful yeast infection for what she did to The Beatles, for what she's doing to Paul RIGHT NOW and for simply being alive! I swear, when she's gone, the munchkins will crawl out of their huts singing "ding, dong, the witch is dead, the witch is dead, the witch is dead...

" Yoko Ono is a living plague to the music and art world.

IMAGINE A WORLD LIVING YOKO FREEEE!

49. Yoko, damn, she is worst. Did she not financially screw John´s first kid of his inheritance? AND THE BITCH WAS AND IS UGLY. John was way high and didnt have his glasses on the day he met her.

50. My comments are based on many independent sources as well as transcripts of interviews with John and Yoko. You claim to be a friend, therefore you are biased.

Yes, Yoko came from a very wealthy family. She was spoiled rotten and surrounded by servants. She lived in a palace. Does that make her a nice person? No. It makes her spoiled and money hungry.

You forget to tell people that when she ran away from home to marry her first husband when she was about 20, her parents cut her off. She lived in poverty for years. She was financially desperate even by her own admission. She desperately wanted someone to sponsor her art. I saw part of an interview where Yoko admitted she was financially hard up.

Read her biographies. If Yoko was rich, why did she get a job as a teacher? As a building super?

Meeting John solved many of her problems. Now she had money and someone to boss around like a servant. Plus, now that Yoko was married to someone famous, it gave her power to boss around everyone around her like George Harrison during the Imagine recording, John's friend, Pete Shotton, etc.

The information I provided above here is NOT from the tabloids. It is based on many, many books, articles and interviews from 10 or more different people. Are all these people lying?

Her arrogance is legendary and has been recounted many times by May Pang, John Green, Pete Shotton, and others. Just look at her own interviews.

Just buy the Lennon Anthology from 1998 and read what Yoko writes in the booklet. She calls herself "proud." There is a fine line between proud and arrogant. Indeed, they can be interchangeable.

In that booklet, Yoko spends page after page talking about all her servants . . . her chauffer, her cook, her secretary, her mansion in England. Give me a break.

Did you see her comments in that booklet about being asked to go to the Elton John concert? About being asked to go backstage? Her whole attitude is "What a pain in the ass." Anyone else would have been thrilled. Not Yoko. Elton John was beneath her I guess.

When she gave birth to Sean she tells John, "I took care of the baby for 9 months. Now it is your turn." Some mother. She had little interest in her son. Remember, she was raised by servants. Sean was raised by John and servants.

Sean Lennon gave an interview several years ago. He described what Yoko said to him soon after John died. "Your father's been killed last night. Some guy shot him." Not a word of kindness. Not a thing to soften the blow. Is this how you talk to a 5 year old? Sean was devastated.

In 1981 Yoko gave an interview to Rollingstone. I read it. She says in the interview, "I don't want to be known as the grieving widow." In a Playboy interview with Paul McCartney done in 1982 or 1984 which is available on the web, Paul reports she made a remark, "I don't want to be known as widow of the century." What a devoted wife.

In an interview, Cynthia Lennon reported that when John died, Julian decided to fly to NY. Cyn wanted to go with him. After all, he was a teenager and he was grieving. Yoko refused. Yoko told her "If you come, Julian can't come. After all it's not like we were college buddies." Heartless.

You mention that John would be upsent by my remarkds. True, but he was blindly in love. That does not make her a good person. Eva Braun loved Hitler and died with him. Does that make Hitler good?

By the way, John's will is available online. Did you read it? It does not say he wants to be cremated.

As far as Yoko's art and music, she does have her fans, but most of her music really stinks, and she cannot sing to save her life. I know because I saw her live at Madison Square Garden with John and she sucked. The audience did not like her. She can hardly hit a note. Even though she sat at a piano, she did not really play because it was electric and it was not plugged in. She faked her piano playing in front of 20,000 fans. How deceptive. Would Britany Spears, Janet Jackson or anyone else get away with that? Then on the film/CD of the concert when she listed the credits, she credited herself with playing keyboards, when piano and keyboard were played by Elephant's Memory and John. Does this sound like an honest person to you?

Some of her art is interesting, but certainly not worthy of world wide fame. There are many many artists who do similar things and are never wealthy or famous. Yoko is famous because she married John Lennon.

You say she has talent as a film maker. Doing what? Filming a fly crawling up a woman's crotch? Filming John smiling in slow motion for 20 minutes? When these films were aired in New York in 1968 or 1969, the audience booed.

Sam Havadtoy became involved with Yoko almost immediately. LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER JOHN DIED THEY WERE PHOTOGRAPHED WALKING ARM IN ARM IN THE PARK. THIS IS REPORTED IN THE NEWSPAPERS FROM 1981. It is in black and white.

Yoko did introduce John to heroin by her own admission in interviews. Yoko took heroine before she met John. He asked her what it was like and she said she liked it. That was all, poor John, had to hear. If Yoko said jump off lthe roof he would have jumped.

As far as Yoko being a beauty, she is a beauty all right. She was so beautiful(The b*tch is ugly as sin), she committed adultery against all 3 of her husbands repeatedly. I read an interview with John and Yoko where they admitted that when she was married to husband number 1, she ran around a lot and had several illegal abortions. That is probably why she had trouble in later years having babies.

Obviously you are a Yoko fan and I admire you for that. But people should know the truth. And the truth comes largely from John and Yoko's own interviews.

One last point to anyone reading this post: if you really want to know "the truth" try to get old John and Yoko interviews. These are the ones that they gave when their guard was down and memories were fresh. Where Yoko admitted to her abortions and adultry. Where she admitted introducing John to heroin. You see, these are now very hard to find, so Yoko's PR machine is now trying to rewrite history in the hopes we will all forget.

51. No more paris

Paul wanted out all right, because John wanted yok in the band. Paul said NFW.

Sir Paul is gentleman and would not go on tv and diss yok for two reasons, one he's respecting john's memory and two because sean is not a little kid anymore and didn't want to call his mother a whore on CNN. I don't care what books everyone has read, the real facts are from real people who were there.

52. She’s quite a hippy artist with some contribution i’m not sure what, but she sure looks ugly like hell. I think John Lennon is probably the most awesome John I’ll ever know but he does make some weird decisions in life. For the uninformed (read: stupid dumbass), Yoko is John’s scandal.

Posted at 7:28PM on Jul 21st 2007 by Yoko oh no

53. Note to TMZ & co - she's not "the former Mrs. Lennon" - because she's a widow and has never remarried. She's still Mrs. Lennon, like it or not...

So Cynthia is Beautiful and Yoko Isn't BECAUSE

Cynthia is WHITE and Yoko is JAPANESE by race ???!!!

EVERY RACE has Their OWN Beauty.

NOT EVERYBODY has to "LOOK CAUCASION"

in order "to Pass" the Beauty Test.

In this country, it is OK to go overboard defending anybody who is Black, but

it is TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE to DEGRADE and BASH anyone who is esp. of Japanese Extraction.

This is the 21st Century.

High Time that that changes!!!

Anyone that says that both Sean and Yoko are ugly

need to LOOK at Themselves in the MIRROR

to see Just How Ugly THEY Look.

They are DEEPLY mired in S-O-O much Blind Hatred!!!

People like that are WORTHLESS in Life.

They obviously are LOW & DON'T have a LIFE!

They NEED to Learn to Promote ACCEPTANCE

of ALL Races, not Spew Hatred!!!

Seems May Pang is CARRYING a Grudge against Yoko
because she couldn't become the NEXT Mrs. John Lennon!

John OBVIOUSLY Chose to go back to Yoko
after their separation.

He said so many times that he could Not live without her.

Yoko made it clear that she did not want him back UNLESS
he truly wanted to.

All this talk about "hypnosis" is just Wishful Thinking
in May Pang's mind.

May Pang:

YOU Need to get a Life!!!

Why waste your life Re-Hashing the PAST.

You need to FOCUS on the Present and Future.

Life is Truly TOO Short!!!

Why waste it?

Or are you Also CA$HING In on John and Yoko???!!!

To John Lennon's ghost:

I am not a paid blogger. I am also NOT a "PR Machine"

for Yoko. I am not even a fan.

I am an Independent Thinking Person who has No personal affiliations with Yoko or Sean.

I also am NOT making $$$ off of the Lennons like some people are.

57. TMZ says they won't ALLOW anything RACIST, however they seem
to BE DOING JUST THAT !!!

I am no Yoko fan but constantly putting her down because of her RACE is being RACIST!

As for the person that made inference that
Julian is Better than Sean because he is 100% White versus half white and half Japanese is also RACIST.

Could it be Julian that wrote that?

At any rate, Julian should quit the BLAME GAME and grow up!!!

He is bitter because he wants Yoko to HAND him over more $$$.

Julian, why don't you EARN your $$$

JUST LIKE your Father did???!!!

You'd feel BETTER about YOURSELF.

As your Father often said, “LIFE IS TOO SHORT”.

Why not CELEBRATE Life Everyday and
form a Meaningful Relationship
with Sean and Yoko instead of
being Hateful and Carrying Old Grudges???

You will be a Much more Happier person!

And you will put a Smile on your Father's face.

As for John, no one put a gun to John's head
to force him to marry Yoko.

John fell in love with Yoko.

Yoko was NOT poor and did NOT have to marry John for $$$.

She had her own career (in U.S.) and came from a well to do family in Japan.

The Beatles were starting to get tired of the grind & hectic schedule before Yoko entered the picture.

Thank God John and the rest of the Beatles gave us SO-O-O many Songs to Enjoy.

There will NEVER be another group like
the BEATLES!!!

They were Fantastic.

We should Cherish their Memories.

In LOVING Memory of John Lennon and George...

May they be in our Thoughts FOREVER!!!
