LOST WEEKEND FOR MAY PANG AND DR. JUDY

May Pang With Dr. Judy Kuriansky And Tim Mantoani



TV psychologist commentator and sexpert Dr Judy Kuriansky caught up with friend May Pang -- John Lennon’s “lost Weekend” lover from 1973-1975, now a photographer and Feng Shui jewelry producer -- at the reception and exhibit for photographer Tim Mantoani’s new book, “Behind Photographs – Archiving Photographic Legends.” The three are pictured here pointing to Pang’s classic 1974 photo taken on the Long Island Sound of Lennon with his son Julian when he was a little boy. The photo is one of many captivating shots in Mantoani’s book featuring photographers holding a favorite or iconic image, ranging from shots of Madonna in 1983, Mother Teresa, Bruce Springsteen and Nelson Mandela, to powerful images of war refugees, an Iraqi boy injured by an explosive, an AIDS-ridden child,.and a row of Russian missing forearms deformed by pollutants. Pang answered the burning question, “Was John Lennon a good lover?” with an enthusiastic, “Yes.” When Dr, Judy asked her to elaborate, Pang replied that he knew how to please a woman first and even taught her a few things (all excellent signs). Another classic photo of Lennon in Mantoani’s book is of the Beatle in a white t-shirt with black “New York City” lettering during a photo shoot in his east side penthouse apartment for the cover of his “Walls and Bridges” album. And picture the Fab Four caught midair jumping onto a bed when told by their manager that they were number 1 in American and going to NY! Besides the Lennon shots, you can “Imagine” why Dr Judy gravitated to the photo of Elvis Presley “caught on film” June 30th 1956 backstage at the Mosque Theatre in Richmond Virginia clearly tongue-kissing an unknown date. Note: Sources say that Gene Simmons allegedly once put his famous tongue down the sexpert’s throat backstage at a concert when she was hosting her famous Z100 “LovePhones” call-in show.

KURIANSKY & AMANPOUR AT AWARDS FETE

****
JUDY KURIANSKY CONGRATULATES ABC’S
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR AS A “GIANT”

****


Christiane Amanpour With Dr. Judy Kuriansky



At the “GIANTS OF BROADCASTING AWARDS” last Friday, Library of Broadcasting Board member and radio and TV broadcaster Judy Kuriansky met up with former CNN chief international correspondent-now ABC News This Week” anchor Christiane Amanpour. Both are at almost every natural disaster and war zone – from the Asian tsunami to Israel -- Amanpour covering the news and Dr Judy providing psychological first aide. On accepting her “GIANT” award, Amanpour said she is “fiercely proud of being a woman getting this award,” and wants to see more balance between women and men on this stage, in top news positions, and in politics. Her real dream, she said, is that she would “like to see a world where women are not judged by the amount of highlights in their hair, shortness of their skirts or deeply plunging cleavage, but by the competence of their work.” Dr. Judy agrees, recalling how TV viewers would comment on the coat she was wearing on the football field doing a special about “The Psychology of Sports” or her earrings when reporting on “New Treatments for Depression.”

Christiane said she grew up watching the TV show “Gunsmoke” with James Arness (a posthumous “Giants” honoree) a part of her life.

Also awarded as a “Giant of Broadcasting” that day by the Library of American Broadcasting, NBC news anchor Brian Williams revealed “a secret about his non-Giant status”: starting out as a college dropout whose first job was as a typist and receptionist at the National Association of Broadcasters, he now wakes up and asks, “How did I get to this… to the greatest job in the world?”

Also honored was the staff of CBS This Morning, a 32-year long TV staple, and its poetic host Charles Osgood, who had recently sang Cole Porter at Birdland for a broadcasting benefit.

CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH MARILYN MICHAELS

Dr. Judy Kuriansky With Marilyn Michaels And Sylvia Sporn



Comedienne, singer and performer extraordinaire Marilyn Michaels, sat down for an up-close and personal interview by good friend and noted psychologist sex doc Dr. Judy Kuriansky, at an exhibit of Michaels’ art and memorabilia at the Jewish Heritage Museum in Freehold New Jersey Sunday afternoon. The brilliant impressionist thrilled the audience as Lilly Tomlin, Joan Rivers, Joan Collins and Katherine Hepburn, and memories of Catskills on Broadway, appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show, performing with Sammy Davis Jr., and her favorite role as Fannie Brice in the touring company of “Funny Girl” which impressed even Barbra Streisand, then playing the role on Broadway. On view were Michaels’ new portraits of Mohammed Ali and Elizabeth Taylor and never-before-on-public-display erotic paintings of female thighs on Chinese fortune cookies. In tune with talking to the famed sex doc, Michaels described her 1983 Playboy Pictorial, now a collector’s item, with her dressed as famous women: Julie Andrews standing on top of hills with suspenders covering her nipples; a gorilla attempting to yank off Bo Derek’s bra; Lilly Tomlin’s Ernestine wearing a garter belt. The mag got around Michaels’ refusal to go topless by posing three babes behind her as back-up singers, flashing in open raincoats. Not shy to talk about sex, Michaels has been on Howard Stern, whom she says is a stand-up guy, especially as he sent condolences when her beloved mother died.

NEW YORK'S GLITTERATI HIGHLIGHT PTSD

Super hostess Mitzi Perdue had a powerful party to help draw attention to a serious issue plaguing tens of millions of Americans… anxiety disorder. The International Committee Against Mental Illness, spearheaded by Dr. Robert Cancro, Chairman Emeritus of NYU Langone’s Department of Psychiatry, with the help of his niece Lorraine Cancro, MSW and writer for Exceptional Parent Magazine, created a new division to raise awareness for those who suffer from anxiety disorders and to help guide them on the road to recovery. That includes promoting alternative treatment methods other than medication. They hope to develop and test lifestyle changes, which can bring the person back to better balance.

Award-winning TV News Star Rita Cosby was named the spokesperson for the newly launched United Stress Disorders Association who’s goal is to educate and help prevent future anxiety cases in civilians and members of the military who often suffer severe “angst and anxiety” episodes after traumatic experiences on the battlefield. Cosby’s own father suffered “Shell Shock” (now termed PTSD) as a resistance fighter and prisoner of war in WWII and didn’t discuss his own harrowing ordeal until recently in his daughter’s highly acclaimed book called, “Quiet Hero: Secrets From My Father’s Past.” The journalist known for her tough as nails interviewing style was emotional as she discussed her father’s painful physical and mental journey and her mission now to support others and their family members who show symptoms of PTSD.

Those in attendance included 9/11 rescuers, military servicemen, police officers, judges and some of America’s top psychiatric experts including Dr Judy Kuriansky, Russell Daisey, National Guardsman Eric Roitsch and Jean Shafiroff. For more information about the United Stress Disorders Association call (212) 263-5744 or go to www.unitedstressdisorders.org.
