After spending the other day at the Landmark, surrounded by bookstore windows advertising the latest upcoming boy-wizard bonanza, I had to wonder if I'm the only one who wants to chant "Har-ry Potter and the DEATHLY HALLOWS! Har-ry Potter and the DEATHLY HALLOWS! " in the style of the Beastie Boys yelling about Ali Baba and the 40 thieves.
Hoping readers have the faintest clue what's being talked about here. If not, let's keep moving along. Seated at the free Internet tables in the Red Room pou
Just got a call from our cover boy Jim "Poorman" Trenton -- it seems the Knott's Halloween Haunt episode, referenced in the article, will be airing tonight.
During the course of the evening, he cornered me on camera, and apparently some of that footage made the final cut.
So check it out, won't you? 11:30 p.m. on KDOC
It was only a month ago that we wrote about Jim "The Poorman" Trenton's triumphant return to KDOC, and at that time, the station seemed very happy to have him back.
Not for long. Poorman's Bikini Beach has been taken off the air, in what appears to be a dispute over some of his advertisers. In response to an emailed query by the Weekly, KDOC's Bert Ellis wrote "Jim never tried to go mainstream with his show or his advertising. He did not grow with the opportunity."

As mentioned in today’s news section, Jim “The Poorman” Trenton and KDOC have parted ways, in a dispute over controversial advertising. The station says he refused to get more mainstream sponsors; Trenton says they didn’t give him enough time.

Jim "Poorman" Trenton, local "celebrity" and self-described "most fired man in show business" (see "Enter Poorman," Nov. 8, and "Exit Poorman," Jan. 3] is once again caught up in controversy after his May 16 third-annual Bikini Mile at Hollywood Park Race Track and Casino in Inglewood.
