A friend of Marilyn Monroe was recently rummaging through her attic and ran across something she’d long forgotten about: “home movies” she’d made of she and her long-dead friend hanging out and getting high. Of the videos, the nice, soon to be rich elderly lady said, “I had it up in my attic all this time…Home movies, that’s all it was…It was never a big deal for me.” She then whipped out a one-hitter and told the story of the time she and Marilyn had a threesome with Peter Lawford. |NBC New York|

Brooklyn’s own Ricardo Cortes, author of controversial children’s marijuana book, It’s Just A Plant, faces off tonight against the famous red jacketed-big mouth Curtis Sliwa on Catherine Crier’s Live on Court TV tonight at 5:30pm. Cortes’ book, Its Just A Plant, has catapulted the young author-artist into the media spotlight since its first publishing more then a year ago and continues to do so. Just last week, the New York Daily News attended a reading of his second edition in Soho and ran this item. On tonight’s show Cortes will specifically discuss Sliwa’s increasing irrelevance when it comes to the morning talk show host’s advocacy of the continued Drug War in NYC, particularly when it comes to marijuana.
Bonus fact: Cortes took on Bill O’Reilly a couple months back and the big bear couldn’t even get the author to flinch.
Don’t mess with Montel’s marijuana!
