Grand Old Police Blotter: Bo Screws The Pooches Edition:

That long-simmering dispute between a suburban Philadelphia animal shelter and Kennedy Center trustee Bo Derek has reached the boiling point. [Para.] Yesterday Bill Smith, of Main Line Animal Rescue in Wayne, Pa., told us he and a group of Washington animal activists are busy organizing a rally in front of the Kennedy Center to demonstrate against Derek, a former Playboy model and actress who was appointed to the center's board by President Bush. In August 2001, Derek pocketed $21,402, including first-class airfare for two, to headline the shelter's September 2001 fundraiser, but canceled her trip after the 9/11 attacks and kept the money.
Derek, a Bush Republican, reportedly refused to comment.

I wonder how much Bo was paid to attend the minstrel show in 2000?
