April fool’s at the Return of the Reluctant

My favorite post of the day:

James Frey Reveals That He Is JT Leroy
At a press conference this morning, James Frey revealed to the world
that he is, in fact, J.T. Leroy. ?You may think this beard is real,?
said Frey, ?but it?s actually a very expensive theatrical prosthetic.?

The news came shortly after Oprah Winfrey was to announce J.T. Leroy?s upcoming book, The Needy Ego Is Always Deceitful, as her upcoming Oprah Book Club pick. 

Responding to these recent comments, a spokesperson for Ms. Winfrey
noted that she was fuming and was prepared to tear out James Frey?s
left testicle on live television, throw it into a frying pan and eat it
in front of her studio audience.

This week I saw Crispin Glover on the street while Cecil saw Keanu Reeves (very River’s Edge!). Years ago I would have said my sighting won — Crispin’s books were freakout excellence — but since Charlie’s Angels he just hasn’t been the same.
