...planned to wed his girlfriend, Paula Barbieri, next Sunday in the Dominican Republic. Listin Diario, a newspaper in the Dominican Republic, said Simpson was preparing to fly to the Caribbean country for a ceremony at the Casa de Campo, the exclusive resort where singer Michael Jackson secretly married Lisa Marie Presley last year. But Cochran today said that Simpson was at his California home. Reporters staked out a Dominican airport in vain on Sunday, but the rumored aircraft never materialized. Day of Judgment: Photographs from the Simpson Verdict
Everyone has a humiliating story or two to tell, and some unlucky individuals such as Lisa Kron have (according to her figures) 101. Number 4: Lansing, Michigan, 1975--young girl boards school bus and feels a sharp tug at her hair, thinks it's the bully, but then quickly and painfully discovers her hair is actually caught in the merciless grip of the bus's doors. Number 12: Manhattan, mid-'80s--same young girl, though older, wiser, and out as a lesbian now, saunters through the midtown law office she's temping for, chats it up with the lawyers...
Unfortunately, Kron's so-called humiliating and embarrassing anecdotes aren't really all that humiliating and embarrassing. If you're going to base an entire performance on agonizing moments, then they had better be totally outrageous. This is clearly where Kron falls short. But we forgive poor, put-upon Lisa, admire her candor and laugh easily because it's nice to hear about crap happening to other people once in a while...
