Remember when we were discussing Hollywood's favorite pimp?

Vanity Fair has a story.

Oh God yes. I well remember PPSM had a major meltdown over the whole thing insisting anyone who thought Bowers' stories were real was a dumb as a rock. I have no way of proving anything he wrote was true or not. But a number of celebrities who knew him back in the day have vouched for him and said he was the real deal. That's good enough for me.

Sorry about the link. I don't know how to fix it. I guess there is a documentary out on the 94 guy. I bought and read the book and remember being skeptical but who knows.

Out of curiosity, I'd like to see the documentary and judge him by the interviews.

Here's a very short clip (clit) of the documentary. Shows 90 year old SB. Still spry. I'd like to see the whole thing.

I always wondered what happened to the Octopus too. Tried to me nice to him but never understood his deal. There was another one we don't see anymore. He was marrying his doctor (???). Can't remember his name. Now he was strange.

Roger contacted me many months back (maybe a year) and asked me to delete his account. He didn't say it, but I gathered that he was either willingly or being forced to give up social media (if not the internet altogether) because of mistreatment on some other venue (Twitter seems to come to mind, but it may have been some other site). I noticed he would sign on and lurk for a while, never making himself known, but then he was gone. Hasn't signed onto his account here since Dec. last year.

I hope he's ok. He was a good kid, but he clearly had some issues which I'm certainly not qualified to diagnose. Quite frankly, it's probably better for him to not be anywhere near any sort of social media. He made himself an easy target.

And no, Roger and PPSM were definitely not the same person. Trust me, there is no other person on the planet who would want to be PPSM. PPSM should be part of the course curriculum in every psychology class at every college on the planet.

PPSM was manic/bipolar right? Was he really living in Luxemborg and later Spain or did he just use programs to make it look like his IP address was from there?

I have no idea what his issues are. I just know they're there. The Zetaboards mods can attest to it as well. We both had to deal with constant emails of the "interesting" variety at one point.

He was a lot of things, but one thing he wasn't was a liar. He definitely posted from Luxembourg on a legitimate Lux ISP when he was posting here. To my knowledge he never lived in Spain. At least he never posted from Spain when he was here.

But even after all the craziness, even after all the hateful things he's had to say about this board and me personally, I have to say I always liked that boy and still do. I was able to see a side to him others didn't get to see. I'm sorry things didn't work out for him here. Poor kid was his own worst enemy most days, and nothing I could say to him to help change things was satisfactory.

Even the DM has picked this story up. But they say he's 94, not 90. I guess when you read a DM story, one has to be open minded with their details..... :lol

I wonder if his head stone will say Pimp to the Stars! In LA, that would be classy!

The best part of a DM story is the comment section. :eek This one on SB doesn't disappoint.

They say at DL that DF managed Ryan Idol. He seems to have managed him into prison.

I've just finished reading his book, can't say i believed more than 10 % of the nonsense.

He came across as an absolute cretin of a human being.

I've heard of lots of wilder goings on in the Hollywood movie community than anything he wrote about in his book.

True, even if some of what he claims is true, why kiss and tell?

Yes that's true or fame/attention. :cough

At his age I imagine fame or attention is the last thing on his mind. Being able to pay the bills in a high cost of living city was probable #1. I can't imagine his Social Security paycheck is much since he never seemed to have any sort of a high earning job. Even though he lives in that house rent free until death there's the upkeep to be contended with. Living on a meager income in Los Angeles, even rent free, can't be easy.
