The Phil Spector Trial: We Watch Court TV So You Don’t Have To

7/17/07, 9:28 am EST

SpectorWHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY?
Searching for any evidence that Lana Clarkson killed herself at Phil Spector’s home, the defense found a possible catalyst for Clarkson’s supposed suicide: Transformers director Michael Bay. The curiously named Punkin Pie was the latest of Lana Clarkson’s “good friends” to take the stand, testifying that two weeks before Clarkson was found shot to death, she was snubbed by the action-film guru at a Hollywood party, leading a sobbing Clarkson to say, “I hate this town and I don’t want to be here anymore.” The defense tried to make the argument that “here” meant Earth and not Hollywood.

IS THIS GOOD OR BAD FOR SPECTOR?
Good. Despite the ditzy aura of well, her name, Punkin Pie seemed like a sincere and trustworthy witness, a rarity thus far for the defense.

HAIR & WARDROBE UPDATE:
Spector seamlessly integrated vests into his wardrobe, wearing a tan vest under his tan suit with a bright tangerine tie.

Ow. My eyes. They hurt from rolling too hard.

Do you think if Phil had been coming up in the 90s instead of the 60s he would have used an MPC or do you think he would have stuck with guns and screaming members of the Crystals? And if an MPC, which model? I hear Pete Rock still uses the MPC2000XL even though it’s been superceded a number of times

Why would Lana Clarkson commit suicide at someone elses home instead of her own?

You guys are just being stupid!!

Money talks and bulls**t walks..Nuff said??

hey rolling stone! which side are you on, anyway? i guess you wouldn’t know, either. the other day you said punkin pie wasn’t a credible source, and now she is “a sincere, trustworthy witness”

james r | 7/17/2007, 2:26 pm EST

Why didn’t Phil go to rehab as soon as he was released from custody?

Chris | 7/17/2007, 4:36 pm EST

Micheal Bay has made me want to commit sucide several times, “Armageddon”, “Pearl Harbor”, “Bad Boys” etc.

I can make better records than you in a jail cell.–Phil

shine on you crazy diamond!

How much “justice” can Phil afford?

I’ve never heard of a woman killing herself with a gun.

katheliz | 7/17/2007, 7:59 pm EST

Women do kill themselves with guns – my 17 year old granddaughter committed suicide by a gunshot to her head. But that’s irrelevant to this case, which has nothing to do with suicide (unless you’re the defense team) and everything to do with a man who has brandished guns at women for years. One finally went off while he was holding it, killing Lana Clarkson.

Punkin Pie doesn’t look credible at all. The only credible witness is the Limo Driver.

scram bay | 7/18/2007, 1:33 am EST

ichael bay is a scumbag for ignoring this poor girk ..ban his films now!

OJ Simpson | 7/18/2007, 7:03 pm EST

I’m getting so frustrated with this trial; I feel killing somebody

John | 7/29/2007, 11:34 pm EST

I spent a day at the trial. Everyone will loose no matter what the outcome is. It’s terrible for anyone even remotely involved.

old-roomie | 8/2/2007, 11:14 am EST

lana clarkson was my roommate years ago. we saw each other as recently as a few months before this happened. there is absolutely NO WAY she committed suicide. Phil Spector, like other celebs, cannot accept life in prison, ergo the suicide defense. I completely agree w/ kathyliz — Phil has brandished guns many a time and this time he pulled the trigger. Why was the gun in her mouth Phil? If you knew Lana,SHE WOULD NEVER PUT A GUN IN HER MOUTH. And the Michael Bay incident is stupid; it happens all the time. It’s a comment statement to say you’re giving up in Hollywood; but that doesn’t mean your ending your life.(Not to mention anyone who has worked with Michael Bay knows what a creep he is; he has a big name but zero respect behind close doors). And who’s paying Pumpkin for her time…Lana had a lot of scheming friends that would not be reliable witnesses. Shame on this chick. Hey Sergio–are you out there???

I know Pumkin Pie and she’s a used up groupie who’s claim to fame is that she says she slep with Robert Plant but is actualy a two bit promoter with to much time on her hands and is using this to boost her lame career.

collection guru | 9/13/2007, 12:47 am EST

Phil put the gun in Lana’s mouth and the gun went off accidently but he is a scummy little midget who has always used guns to overcome his size. I think he should be sentenced to life with Punkin Pie and must have sex with her daily if he can still afford viagra.

Jennifer | 9/13/2007, 11:41 am EST

With friends like PUNKIN PIE….who needs enemies. To me it is clear that this woman was jealous of her friend, and is getting something for her testimony. She is a PIG…not a pumkin pie! Just remember punkin pie…what goes around comes around. And you are sorely one ugly B…..!

I grew up listening to Spector’s music.. Great music.. Sad excuse of a person.. ANyone who needs to make himself “BIG” using a gun, would certainly use it to make himself ‘desireable’ to females.. He is as guilty as sin, like one of his adopted kids insuated he is.. Of course the kid also said he still loves him.. Totally sad situation all around..
