Certainly we’re all a bit apprehensive here at the [Chelsea] hotel, wondering what will happen now to our unique artistic community. The actual ownership structure of the hotel is a closely guarded secret. It is known that Stanley’s father, David, in partnership with two men named Krauss and Gross, bought the hotel in 1940. (Stanley took over upon his father’s death in 1957.) These days, the part of the hotel that Stanley’s father owned is still in the Bard family, but the interests of the other partners’ families are represented by a board of directors. The board seems to have given Stanley a wide latitude in managing the hotel over the years--that is, apparently, until just recently. What happened is that the hotel simply became too valuable.

Stonehenge is in big trouble. Unbeknown to most of us, a global contest is currently under way to select seven "new" wonders of the world. Next month, 20 monuments, including the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal, will be whittled down to create a new magnificent seven. But it's all looking a bit Eurovision for Stonehenge, the only UK candidate. Although 50 million people worldwide have so far voted by text or online at new7wonders.com, latest results reveal the famous landmark languishing in the bottom 10 - alongside the Sydney Opera House and the Statue of Liberty.
Pieces of architectural history sit on Milwaukee's south side -- a row of four duplexes and two cottages designed by Frank Lloyd Wright more than 90 years ago for low-to-moderate-income families.
But years of makeovers -- aluminum siding was added to one house -- rendered some of them shells of their former designs. Now a non-profit group wants to restore the Frank Lloyd Wright charm to one of the single-family homes -- right down to the crushed quartz stone-infused stucco on the exterior.
FOUR years ago Henry Scott, a media consultant living in Manhattan, hired Sergio Guardia to design a weekend house on a wooded site in Kerhonkson, N.Y. Mr. Guardia, an architect who was born in Bolivia and trained at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, came up with plans for a futuristic house set on thick steel beams cantilevered over a hillside.

Monday is the big Raw draft show from Wilkes-Barre, PA., which will include many special guest appearances including Mick Foley, Jesse Ventura, Bobby Heenan and Gene Okerlund. The Jackass vs WWE angle is supposed to begin on this show. Supposedly.
The way the draft is going to be done is there will be a series of interpromotional matches on Raw and each winner will then get to pick a wrestler from the losing roster for his team. The show will open in the ring at 8 p.m. Eastern with a champion vs. champion match with John Cena vs. Edge.
Add Moolah and Mae Young to the guests for Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night tomorrow night on Raw.

Crazy Tuesday coming. ECW of course, as well as a live UFC show from Hollywood, FL, and Oxygen debuts its version of its season of Ultimate Fighter, called Fight Girls. Gina Carano is a coach and Kerry Vera (Brandon's wife) is one of the women. You may remember her and Brandon brought her to the ring to announce their wedding in Las Vegas at one of the UFC shows. I think all three shows are going head-to-head, with the Oxygen show at 10:30 p.m. Eastern.
Butterbean was supposed to fight last night in Coeur D'Alene, ID at North Idaho College. The show was canceled because the people working the show couldn't figure out how to set up the ring. The fighters were there hanging with the crowd for two hours as the workers tried to figure out how to put the ring together. Two hours later, the show was called off. The crowd got its money back. And at least the fighters were paid.

“He treated the whole property as one house,” said Michael Moran, a photographer who visited the property several times in the 1990s. “The guest house was the bedroom, the Glass House was the living room, the library was his study.” There is little doubt, though, that for Mr. Johnson the 1,728-square-foot Glass House, for which he named the entire property, remained the centerpiece.

When criminal investigator and part-time DJ Dori Hadar stumbled across hand-painted LP sleeves containing cardboard "records," he knew he had to find out more about the artist. The result is his book, "Mingering Mike: The Amazing Career of an Imaginary Soul Superstar." (This story first aired on WNYC's Studio 360.)

If President Bush and Vice President Cheney can blurt out vulgar language, then the government cannot punish broadcast television stations for broadcasting the same words in similarly fleeting contexts.
