and more.
But this isn't the cast of the next
James Cameron blockbuster -- it's the
witness list for the latest lawsuit
filed by Judical Watch in California
state court this week.
The legal watchdog group is
representing Hollywood mogul Peter
Paul of Stan Lee Media, who says he
ponied-up $2 million to bankroll an
August 2000 fund-raising gala on
behalf of Mrs. Clinton's Senate
campaign.
But Bill and Hillary took the money
and ran, Paul claims, reneging on a
promise that the president would join
the board of directors of SLM after
he left office.
On top of underwriting Hillary's
tinseltown gala, Mr. Paul put
together quite a sweet deal in an
effort to get Bill to come aboard.
According to Paul's legal complaint,
the agreement was as follows:
"President Clinton would make a one
year commitment to work with SLM
and/or Mondo (English Inc., also
owned by Paul) in exchange for $10
million worth of SLM stock and $5
million in cash, as well as a $1
million contribution to the Clinton
Presidential Library."
Acting as the official go-between for
this arrangement was none other than
James Levin, the one-time Chicago
topless bar owner who gained
notoriety last year when it was
learned he'd spent several nights in
the White House and pledged to
contribute $1 million to the Clinton
Library fund.
Levin kept Mr. Paul on board even as
the budget for Hillary's fund-raiser
ballooned well beyond what he
initially expected.
At one point Mrs. Clinton demanded
that SLM hire Gary Smith, a Hollywood
producer friend of the Clintons who
had put together their first
inaugural ball and who was producing
the Democratic National Convention
just days after the gala.
And the Hillary fave didn't come
cheap. Smith demanded a whopping
$850,000 fee. Levin promised Paul
that he'd whittle Smith's contract
down. But the pricey producer agreed
to trim only a relatively meager
$50,000 from his deal.
As the costs of Hillary's fund-raiser
continued to explode, Mr. Paul grew
ever more antsy about his deal. Levin
kept him on the reservation by
offering more White House promises
"as a show of good faith":
According to the Judicial Watch
complaint, Levin promised the
following on Clinton's behalf:
* The President?s support for a
Kennedy Center Honor for Stan Lee.
* The President?s support for a
Presidential Medal of Freedom to be
awarded to Stan Lee at The White
House.
* A reception for Stan Lee at The
White House
* An official visit to the offices of
SLM by the President
* A stay in the Lincoln Bedroom for
Plaintiff and his wife
* A weekend at Camp David for
Plaintiff and his wife
* An invitation to the President?s
last official State Dinner at The
White House for Plaintiff and his
wife
* The President?s Participation in
the global broadcast of the Hollywood
Christmas Parade being produced by
SLM
But in the end, Paul and his partner
Stan Lee got bubkiss, while the
Clintons not only took the money and
ran, they failed to report Paul's
contributions to the Federal Election
Commission.
The first grifters' Peter Paul con
was certainly unethical -- but was it
illegal?
Paul has nothing by way of a written
contract. And days after the gala,
the Clintons told reporters they had
no idea he had produced the event.
But that's where Cher, Whoopi, Babs
and all the other Hollywood
gliteratti come in. Paul says that
more than a few on the gala's
guestlist were privy to the plan to
have Clinton join Stan Lee.
Brad Pitt, for instance, was told
directly about the plan. So was John
Travolta. And Hillary personally
introduced Paul's wife to Barbra
Streisand -- telling the Democratic
diva that Mr. Paul had produced her
extravagant fund-raiser, thereby
undermining later claims she knew
nothing about who picked up the tab.
In case all that Hollywood starpower
isn't enough to put this lawsuit in
the middle of the media spotlight,
Paul's complaint also contains these
intruiging tidbits:
"During the event, President Clinton
introduced Plaintiff to his daughter,
Chelsea Clinton. In the President?s
presence and while sitting next to
the President and Chelsea Clinton
during the concert, Plaintiff and
Chelsea Clinton discussed how
Plaintiff had planned and paid for
the fundraiser. Plaintiff also
described his plans to work with the
President after leaving office, and
even suggested that Chelsea Clinton
work for SLM too.
"Also during the course of the
brunch, Chelsea Clinton related to
Plaintiff and his guests how she had
been up late playing 'Scrabble' with
her father after the Hollywood
Tribute fundraiser and they had
discussed Plaintiff?s generous gift
of the event the night before.
Chelsea Clinton described how her
father had considered the event one
of the highlights of his experiences
as President, and his enthusiasm
about the prospect of working with
Plaintiff when he left The White
House."
Chelsea reportedly sent Mr. Paul a
thank you note documenting her
conversation with her dad.
Can't keep mr bill out of the news.
