PARIS HILTON’S FAVORITE KOSHER DELI IS…

by Eddie Winkle (NWM Staff Writer)

Pico Kosher Deli in LA. I got this from a pretty reliable source. A girlfriend of mine that lives out on the west coast. Let’s call her Ellen Lipshitz for argument sake. She’s been dating this guy on and off. Let’s just say his name is Sheldon Goldschmidt, and he’s in rabbinical school. Personally, I think they make a very cute couple. A little flighty together, but who isn't these days. Anyway, she says that their favorite place for deli in LA is Pico’s. Ellen swears they’ve got the leanest corned beef, and pastrami you’d kaplatz over. She also told me that they have indeed spotted none other than Paris Hilton there on occasion. Usually she’s in the back corner with a guy or gal pal. Right underneath the black and white (autographed) photo of Jerry Orbach. Ellen also says that Ms. Paris is a creature of habit. Every time she’s there she orders the same thing – chicken matzo ball soup, with a square potato knish and an open-faced turkey sandwich (gravy on the side). Paris does however, change up her drink order. Sometimes she’ll go for seltzer with lime. While other times it’s a Dr. Brown’s Cream soda. No word on what her dog Tinkerbell eats. Ellen also said she saw Pauly Shore once, picking up take out.

GROWN MEN CAN APPRECIATE COMIC CON!

By grown men, I’d say the late 30s range. Honestly, I think we all have a “what the F am I doing, goof off” pass ‘til at least 42. Actually, with this economy, I’d push it to 64. So yes, in my opinion, it’s ok, to ogle the cosplay girls. Get pumped for the press conference panel for the latest installment of Battlestar-LOST. Or, totally lose it at the site of a 10 second trailer glimpse of any Fandom movie.

I read somewhere that LA is bidding for next year's con. To that I say an emphatic – "REALLY?" Last time a checked LA has a zillion studios, a winning basketball team and not 1, but 18 Apple Stores. What does San Diego have? An In & Out Burger and a zoo. Pretty lopsided if you ask me. Let the Diego-ians have this one thing. Keep their economy afloat in this troubled time. I'm sure that's what the Governator would want.
