News from The Smoking Gun

Dear Friends:


Before he struck gold with slick infomercials and the
best-selling "Natural Cures" self-help book, Kevin

grand larceny convictions. On the plus side, Kev once
served as president of Junior Clowns of America. For

Department's confidential dossier on the rap music world.

The newest episode of the retooled Smoking Gun TV
series airs tonight (Tuesday, 8/30) at 11 PM e/p on
Court TV. Sure, we're biased, but the first two shows
were great and Numero Three will also be worth tuning
in for. And like you've got something better to do with
those precious 30 minutes. It's puppetastic:

the inhabitants. Here's what happens when Hollywood animals
attack:
