Marc Cooper comes up with the best phonetic rendering I've seen yet for Gov. Schwarzenegger's pronunication, in a piece that says Arnold's push to undo the drivers licenses-for-illegals law might be good for immigrants by heading off a talk radio-fed backlash. Bill Bradley's dispatch from the inauguration also mentions licenses, along with some insider details such as who was there and the speech's collaborators: Reagan speechwriter Landon Parvin and Democrat Bob Shrum. Weekly columnist Nikki Finke connects the dots between Schwarzenegger and imprisoned P.I. Anthony Pellicano -- she talks to Paul Barresi, the ex-porn actor who says he did the legwork for a 27-page report in which Pellicano, hired by Schwarzenegger, investigated Arnold's past.

Also in today's Weekly: Date rape in the time of Kobe and "Girls Gone Wild," and literary salonista Cedering Fox.

I don't recall reading Nikki Fink's article mentioning a single word about me being a porn star. What does that have anything to do with the price in China, you fucking morone? PAUL BARRESI
