Madam, I'm Tommy: Lasorda's Name Turns Up In Prostitution Ring
In "Secrets of a Hollywood SuperMadam," an autobiography due in bookstores Thursday, Gibson names two dozen celebrities she says patronized her call-girl service.Now, it is possible that somebody gave her Lasorda's phone number as a guy who knows good lasagne. But if I'm Lasorda, I keep my mouth shut on this one. Suing her just drags the thing out further.Many of the names also appear in her phone books, a payment log and other records from the case that have been unsealed by Los Angeles Superior Court and can now be viewed in unredacted form.
A review of the court file shows that Gibson listed actor Bruce Willis; former Dodgers Manager Tom Lasorda; Steve Jones, the Sex Pistols guitarist and KDLE-FM (103.1) radio jock; and the late film producer Don Simpson, among others.
Willis and Lasorda said through their lawyers that they never used Gibson's service and had no idea why their names appeared in her records. They accused Gibson of exploiting their fame to boost her book sales.
"I have never heard of this woman and don't know why she would accuse me of something like this," Lasorda said in a statement issued by his attorney, Tony Capozzola. "But if she prints these lies, I intend to sue."

When someone says something of note about him in print, it usually gets linked here. And, if you didn't notice, most of what was bad that was said was in the quoted part, not Rob's actual writing.

Oh, and to anonymous: the "successful" in our society are the powerful and if they are not held in check by a free press that power will crush the rest of us. A good kick in the shins on occasion reminds thm all that their shit stinks too...
