How-Wife Abuse Rap Casts Shadow on "Zeitoun" Hero

JANUARY 31--The New Orleans man whose post-Hurricane Katrina heroics and tribulations were chronicled by best-selling author Dave Eggers in the book “Zeitoun” was convicted last year of battering his wife, who told police that she had received several prior beatings, but never called cops on her spouse. According to a New Orleans Police Department report, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, 54, was arrested last March after officers responded to a domestic battery call at the Uptown home of his wife Kathryn and the couple’s five children.

Upon arriving at the

Dart Street

residence, cops found Kathryn face down on the living room floor holding an ice-filled cloth to her forehead. Three of her children were nearby “crying hysterically,” police reported. Kathryn Zeitoun, 40, told officers that she was separated from her husband “due to finances,” and that he was living next door in a home on

Dart Street

. She said that after her estranged husband entered the home around 6:30 PM on March 2, they got into a “heated verbal argument” that quickly became physical. Zeitoun told cops that her husband pushed her to the living room floor, “mounting her and hitting her in the back of the head with a closed fist.” She added that, “her face was smashed into the floor of the residence several times during the battery,” police reported.The assault ended when the couple’s 15-year-old daughter--responding to her mother’s screams for help--kicked her father in the neck, causing him to fall off Kathryn and flee the residence. The teen said she observed her father “beating her mother.” A second daughter interviewed by cops corroborated statements by her mother and sister (the child watched the entire assault from the kitchen).

Why-German beer drinking slide stopped by warm weather

BERLIN - A steady slide in beer consumption in Germany was stopped cold last year thanks to warmer weather, the federal statistics office said on Monday. German brewers sold 98.2 million hectolitres of beer last year, down by just 0.1 percent in 2011 after dropping by an average of two percent every year since 2006. Beer consumption in Germany had fallen in all but two of the last 10 years. Despite Germany’s reputation as a nation of beer lovers, young people are turning away from the national beverage in favour of other non-alcoholic beverages, brewers say. The warmer weather last year as well as the World Cup soccer tournament in 2006 helped to put a floor beneath what is still the country’s most famous beverage. Germans still drink more than 100 litres of beer per capita each year. “Beer sales depend on the weather. In the first half of 2011 — in April and May — we had a lot of warm weather, and the figures were up by 1.0 percent,” Juergen Hammer, an official at the Federal Statistics Agency, told Reuters. “This is why this year’s results aren’t so bad. So I guess the old adage is true that when it’s warm people drink beer.”

Who is sexual Mr Fixit Hollywood’s for elite star?

Demobbed after the thrilling exploits of war, former US marine Scotty Bowers found him in a dreary job at a petrol station. But a chance meeting with actor Walter Pidgeon, who propositioned the handsome hunk at the pumps, launched the 23-year-old into a sordid world of lust and debauchery involving Hollywood’s biggest names and most glamorous figures.

In an astonishing twist of fate, he became the Mr Fixit for screen icons who sought out the more lurid trappings of Tinseltown during its glory days.Wild affairs, gay romps and rampant prostitution were the order of the day and Bowers was the man they turned to for their salacious ­entertainment, he claims in a book.

He set up hundreds of sexual encounters for legends include Katharine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth and Vivien Leigh while himself jumping into bed with leading men and women.  Now, Bowers has lifted the lid on his days as a go-between for a host of actors in the 40s and 50s.The 88-year-old tells of a prostitute ring which catered for gay and bisexual stars such as Cary Grant, George Cukor and Rock Hudson.Bowers claimed he bedded Hepburn’s partner Spencer Tracy and counted French singer Edith Piaf, Gone With The Wind beauty Leigh and Grant as lovers.And he even claims he had a threesome with the Duke of Windsor and his wife Wallis Simpson.Bowers claims he set up Hepburn – long believed to have been bisexual – with “more than 150 different women”. He insists he kept quiet until now out of respect for the privacy of the stars he bedded or fixed up romps for. He says: “I didn’t want to hurt any of these people. “I don’t need the money. And I never saw the fascination. So they liked sex how they liked it. Who cares?“I finally said yes because all of my famous tricks are dead by now. The truth can’t hurt them any more.” Bowers tells in his book Full Service: My Adventures In Hollywood And The Secret Sex Lives Of The Stars how he accidentally fell into his role as a steamy Mr Fixit.

He was at a petrol station on

Hollywood Boulevard

, near Paramount Pictures, in 1946 after leaving the marines when Pidgeon pulled up and propositioned him with a 20 dollar bill. He accepted and before long was “arranging similar stuff” for the star’s more adventurous friends. Apart from romping with them himself – his striking good looks attracted Hollywood’s biggest icons – he would also set them up with his marine pals. Bowers ran the flourishing business from a back room at the garage because it was “safer” than in gay bars. He added: “Sometimes police would come around. But I never got caught partly because I kept everything in my head. There was no little black book.”

Grant was perhaps Bowers’ most famous client. The Bristol-born actor was married five times but rumours he was bisexual circulated for years – he lived with fellow actor Randolph Scott off and on for 12 years. Fashion journalist Richard Blackwell said Grant and Scott were “deeply, madly in love”, and alleged accounts of their physical affection have been published. Alexander D’Arcy, who starred with Grant in The Awful Truth, said the actor and Scott “lived together as a gay couple”.Bowers quit his job in 1950 and claims he supported himself for the next 20 years through prostitution, bar work and as a handyman. In addition to his gay clients, he says he gained a following of straight actors such Desi Arnaz. Best known as Ricky Ricardo on the hit American TV series I Love Lucy, he used Bowers for matchmaking.But the fixer claims in his book, out on




February 14, he never accepted payment for setting up encounters. He insists: “I wasn’t a pimp.”Bowers, who says he prefers the sexual company of women, continued his lurid life until the Aids epidemic in the 80s. He wrote: “The disease brought an end to the sexual freedoms that had defined life in Tinseltown. My days of arranging tricks for others were over. It was too unsafe.”Rumours of a ­prostitution ring run by a mystery man called “Scotty” have floated around Hollywood for years. Since revealing himself as that man, Bowers says he has been inundated with book and film offers.He says Tennessee Williams had even approached him in the 60s and written an “exposé”. But Bowers hated it, and Williams scrapped it.He said: “He made me sound like a mad queen flying over

Hollywood Boulevard

on a broomstick, directing all the queens in town. It was way over the top.”Bowers now lives in Hollywood Hills with his wife of 27 years, Lois.
