“Robert Wagner will have dueling appearances on CBS this week: As a handcuffed character on “NCIS” Tuesday and subject of Saturday night’s “48 Hours” segment on Natalie Wood’s death almost 30 years ago,” reported Reuters on Saturday.
L.A. Sheriff Lee Baca, friend of such celebrities as Mel Gibson (the Sheriff’s Dept. initially said Gibson was arrested in Malibu “without incident”), has accepted numerous donations from CBS Chairman Les Moonves, seen above with second wife Julie Chen, host of “The Talk” on CBS.
Moonves has been a steady contributor to Baca’s campaigns, all within the legal limit.
Baca (seen above with Scientologist actress Sophia Milos on a Scientology float in 2004) was reelected in 2010, despite controversy over gifts and a “deputization” program that allowed celebrities to carry arms. The program was canceled after several incidents. He also released Paris Hilton early.
With there being no clear reason to reopen the case, and “no suspects,” one wonders if the whole thing was a publicity stunt to benefit CBS.
Here’s how CBS shared the story.

Ted Kennedy, born to wealth and privilege and who became a champion of the common man, was born on this day in 1932 and died of brain cancer in August 2009, two weeks after the death of his sister Eunice.
You can hear him talking to his brother, President John F. Kennedy, in this taped call, courtesy of the JFK Library in Boston.
Kennedy and his Senate staff wrote nearly 2,500 bills, of which more than 300 became law, and he co-sponsored another 550 bills that became law.
His NY Times obituary by John M. Broder said, “He was a Rabelasian figure in the Senate and in life, instantly recognizable by his shock of white hair, his florid, oversize face, his booming Boston brogue, his powerful but pained stride. He was a celebrity, sometimes a self-parody, a hearty friend, an implacable foe, a man of large faith and large flaws, a melancholy character who persevered, drank deeply and sang loudly. He was a Kennedy.”
