Maureen Callahan

I can report on good authority that for the past three weeks, he has been holed up in Bungalow 3, the John Belushi suite at the Chateau Marmont.

Yesterday afternoon, he thought maybe Oprah had lost his scent.

so he decided to risk it and get some fresh air and a newspaper but when he came back he noticed a maid coming out of his room as he was about to open his door he hesitated and fantasized to himself my my she may be tipping the scales at 400 is this about the the maid okay well whatever when he turned the door handle

An explosion rocked the chateau, leaving Stedman standing in the doorway, his tweed suit in tatters, his hair and mustache singed and smoldering.

He looked worse than a blown up Wile E. Coyote.

That's when he called me from the lobby.

Wayne, please ask Maureen to contact SEAL Team Teddy immediately.

Teddy's having some treats, but as soon as he's done, I will alert him.
