Sinatra and Columbo: We've Got Pens But No Pals

A lawsuit filed today against the City Clerk of Bev Hills and the Registrar of Voters of L.A. County claims Sinatra -- mother of singer Nancy Sinatra -- and Falk helped pen misleading details urging voters to put the kibosh on the project.

Their less-than-stellar opinion of the project was set to appear in a ballot pamphlet for the November election -- when celebs (and regular folk) get to vote on it.

Karim Kano, who filed the complaint, wants to stop their comments from making it to the printing press.

18. Frank's ex-wife sure looks good! Guess she got the last laugh on him. Jean Stapleton is dead. They have a right to say what they want and are probably right. This "Karim" guy should just stay home and count his millions.

19. Why the negative TMZ title to the effect that they've got pens but no pals? I can assure you that they have plenty of pals in Beverly Hills who are not anxious for the Beverly Hilton to add three new high rise towers to its already large hotel, with inadequate parking and their refusal to provide parking for their 700 employees, all of which will create much more traffic at an the already very congested intersection of Wilshire and Santa Monica.

On top of that, these ballot arguments and rebuttals are generally written by a group, not the individual signers, who would not want to sign anything which was incorrect or misleading. It is a Beverly Hilton representative who is claiming that something is misleading, and it is for a court to decide if it is. Darian Bojeaux

21. rskmj, Anybody who can read stats knows that only Tampa Bay and LA have better records in the AL and Chicago in the NL this season. So unless you are a supporter of the Rays, Angels or Cubs; you are an idiot. Before you make stupid claims about baseball, get your facts straight.
