It’d be cool if RS did a full story on the Phil Spector thing, because that TMZ story that it links to is so snarky. I also have a feeling that their opinion that Ronnie Spector is “looking for a hand out” would be the incorrect side to be on with this case.

“(The) opinion that Ronnie Spector is “looking for a hand out” would be the incorrect side to be on with this case.”

Absolutely. Ronnie had a ton to do with Phil Spector’s killer R and B sound.

Phil has always mistreated the people in his inner circle.

Ronnie deserves every penny.

She HAS TO act now before Phil spares no expense to purchase with his retrial to get his “Get Out Of Jail Free” card!
