The murder of Hollywood publicist Ronnie Chasen is rumored to be a "gay mafia" hit related to the box office failure of the movie "Burlesque." Theories suggest Chasen was killed for leaking negative information about the film's production and internal conflicts involving Screen Gems head Clint Culpepper. The recent suicide of a "person of interest" during a police search is viewed with skepticism.

John C. Dvorak provides a brief history of 19th-century theater, vaudeville, and burlesque, noting that audiences used to throw rotten produce at poor performers. This inspires a pitch for a new Mevio show called "The Tomato Show," where the audience is permitted to throw a limited amount of rotten eggs and cabbages at acts they dislike.
