Kennedy Center Honorees visit White House with Scorsese cameo
January 2nd, 2010 by Scott Marks
In this reporter’s never ending quest to pore over every recorded image of Him, I present this brief White House sighting. Believe me, it was easier to spot Hitchcock in “The Trouble With Harry,” but I found Him. Used to be the eyebrows and beard that made it easy to pick Marty out in a crowd. Nowadays it’s the Swifty Lazar frames.
DeNiro looked beautiful! The thought of hitting the men’s room to spit into an Ace comb and do some damage control on that hat head never crossed Bob’s mind. I envision the actor handing the butler one of those Nicolai Ceaucescu Persian wool caps as he entered The White House.
The controversy over what Grace Bumbry wore around her neck rages on. I swear it’s a dog cone so she won’t lick her stitches while sources close to the White House speculate it’s anything from a satellite dish to a toilet seat.
Note to President Obama: Keep Michelle on a tight leash when you’re around DeNiro. You know what I’m saying.

Scorsese honors DeNiro at Kennedy Center awards
December 29th, 2009 by Scott Marks
Marty and the gang got together Sunday night at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to pay omaggioto Bobby D. The Prefecture of the Pontifical House on Elizabeth Street offered His benediction before turning the proceedings over to Meryl Streep, Harvey Keitel, Sharon Stone and Edward Norton. What’s the matter? Joe Pesky couldn’t get his runty ass off the golf course long enough to pagare il suo rispetto? Disonorante…
See how Mr. Bobby Big Shot looks perched in the loges with the rest of the sweepstakes winners, Mel Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, Grace Bumbry and Dave Brubek, Is it me or is DeNiro looking a little like Robert Young in his Marcus Welby period? All he does is sit and laugh, which is pretty much what he’s been doing on screen (and all the way to the bank) for the past fifteen years.
Excuse me. What’s with those rainbow things they got hanging around their necks? They look like gay suspenders, for Christ’s sake.
And, Bob, tell me why. Why the f@*% do you have to go all the way to Washington for you to sit next to the Opera chick with the dog cone?
I’m sure Keitel first met DeNiro “on a street like this” paper mache tenement mock-up. What’s with the shitty set: a hot dog cart and a garbage can! And Ben Stiller shows up and does shtick. Look how they honor Him. Like a bum. Like a trash man.
Don’t turn it off until you see Norton’s spot on impression of Lord DeNiro.
