JEFF CONAWAY SAYS HE’S A VICTIM OF “ELDER ABUSE” BY HIS GIRLFRIEND

How time flies. Not too many years ago Jeff Conaway, 60, was dancing and singing in “Grease” and landed a role on the hit TV series “Taxi.” Now he’s accusing his girlfriend of ELDER ABUSE! The drug addled Conaway (a “Celebrity Rehab” failure) claims that his drug buddy/former fiancee Vikki Lizzi set him up and called the cops on him. (Jeff has a history of taking painkillers that make him fall and injure himself, thus causing the need for more painkillers.) He insists she injected him with painkillers against his will and planted cocaine in his house before a police bust. He also told Radaronline that she stole money and forged checks. Both have restraining orders against each other. If he lives long enough, Charlie Sheen could end up in a situation like this.

Gangster I Heard You Paint Houses Martin Scorsese Mobster Robert DeNiro Taxi The Irishman

ROBERT DE NIRO LEAVES THE FOCKERS TO RETURN TO THE MOBSTERS

After far too many “Meet The Parents” and “Focker” movies, it looks like Robert De Niro is set to redeem himself in a mob film directed by his buddy Martin Scorsese. Scorsese, who has been favoring Leonardo DiCaprio as his leading man, is directing a script based on the book “I Heard You Paint Houses.” (“Paint houses” is mob slang for contract killings.) The movie is called “The Irishman” and it’s about Frank Sheeran, a labor union official who became a mobster responsible for 25 killings – including Jimmy Hoffa. The real Sheeran confessed this to the book’s author before he died. How Bobby will prepare for this role is not known but you may recall he drove a cab before he filmed “Taxi Driver.”

Anderson Cooper CNN Taxi

IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH EFFORT TO GET A CAB, IF YOU’RE ANDERSON COOPER

We remember having to yell and wave a fistful of money to get a cab to pick us up in New York, but when you’re Anderson Cooper you don’t have problems like that. In fact, the good looking CNN anchor barely waved his hand and a perfectly clean taxi skidded to a halt.
