Bush Blasts Talk, Music Genius Dies
The President is furious that Talk magazine has made fun of his daughters, while the music world has lost the king of the harmonica, Larry Adler.

CENSURED: Furious that a satiric photo spread in the new issue of Talk magazine depicts his two twin 19-year-old daughters (Jenna and Barbara) as jailbirds, President Bush has imposed a news blackout on any journalist working for Talk, reports The Washington Post. A White House spokesman called the parody "disrespectful" and a mocking of "the First Family's desire to keep the lives of their daughters private." A Talk rep said that the send-up was done "in good fun . . . people should have a better sense of humor about it, especially in the administration" . . . DIED: Larry Adler, 87, the acknowledged king of the harmonica, died Monday night at a London hospital after a long illness, his literary agent said. The Baltimore-born musical prodigy had a career that spanned seven decades and had him accompany musicians ranging from George Gershwin to Elton John. Another death in the entertainment world was that of Lorenzo Music, 64, who supplied the voices of the perpetually inebriated Carlton the doorman on the '70s sitcom "Rhoda" and for an animated TV version of Garfield the cat, died of bone cancer on Saturday. Before lending his dulcet tones, Music made his name as a comedy writer for shows starring the Smothers Brothers, Mary Tyler Moore and Bob Newhart . . . RELEASED: Rap music mogul Marion "Suge" Knight, 30, a co-founder of Death Row Records, was released from a federal prison in Oregon on Monday after serving nearly five years of a nine-year sentence for violating probation on assault charges from a fight at a Las Vegas hotel in September 1996. Hours after the fight, rap star Tupac Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting as he rode in Knight's car . . . RECUPERATING: Bobby Dall (real name: Robert Harry Kuykendall), 37, bassist for the '80s glam metal group Poison ("Every Rose Has Its Thorn"), is recovering from emergency back surgery after he injured his spinal cord while performing last week, said the band's agents. The medical procedure put the kibosh on Poison's planned performance at the South Dakota State Fair on Sunday. All tour dates are canceled through Sept. 2.
