Making Love With Norman
By Sharon Steel

How stoked was Richard Johnson when he and the rest of the Page Six crew got to slap the headline "Mailer's Lust Goes to Harvard" on today's Post? We're still getting over the ick-factor, but the item is pretty interesting, if you like reading about the fact that even Pulitzer-Prize winning authors dare their mistresses to write 50-page sex scenes.

Michael Chabon accused of Anti-Semitism
By Sharon Steel

Radar's Gutter Report just alerted us to a new media brouhaha revolving around MICHAEL CHABON. The NY Post's Kyle Smith calls out Chabon (who is Jewish) for the supposedly anti-Semitic themes in his latest tour-de-force, The Yiddish Policeman's Unit. It's a 411-page mystery/noir homage/love story/historical mind-bender about the Jews of the Sikta District in Alaska -- a fictional safe haven built after Israel collapsed in 1948.
