I know my stuff pretty well. I check things out. Proper dates, locations, spellings, you know what I'm talking about. So how 'bout we not call me "bogus," at least not without checking the facts.
Fact is, following an ego-driven altercation, David Cassidy did fire Sammy Davis Jr. character singer-actor Tony Tillman, despite what my counterpart at the morning paper reported Sunday.
Sure, they kissed and made nice over the weekend (Tillman will stay with "The Rat Pack is Back" at least through the end of the year), but there was no disputing that Cassidy handed Tillman his walking papers after hearing Tillman's gripes.
Jo-Ann Geffen (also take note, that's the correct way to spell her name), publicist for "Rat Pack" producer Cassidy, confirmed Monday that before the makeup session Tillman "absolutely was fired. He was fired." All's nice enough now, but unlike another bogus report filed elsewhere, Cassidy still hasn't signed a one-year renewal deal for the "Rat Pack" to remain at the Sahara. He's waiting on that decision until after he returns from vacation.
