Alycia Lane Is All Over, Everywhere

It’s really tough attempting to decide which of the Alycia Lane photos local news organizations are using is the greatest. Is it the 1990 high school photo? The photo the Daily News credits to some guy on Myspace? Or the one of her with Bon Jovi, which I believe was also hyped as an “exclusive” interview, even though that’s about as exclusive as me.

The main story is, of course, her attempt to call Gov. Rendell after being arrested. This, of course, makes absolutely little to no sense, but, hey, maybe Eddie has power over the NYPD, too. Or maybe he just drives so fast he could post bail for her quickly. (Jon Corzine would work, too.)

Rendell spokesman Chuck Ardo confirmed the call at a specific time of 5 p.m. yesterday with this excuse: She wanted the governor to “make sure he knew her side of the story because he is an opinion-maker and runs around in influential circles.” Alycia, come on! You know the person you really needed to call is me.

CBS 3’s holiday special, Celebrate the Season, will air tonight, although Lane will probably be cut from it. Lane’s people are denying the allegations and suddenly she’s starting to look way more sympathetic than Jocelyn Kirsch to a lot of people. An Imus-like comeback? Maybe, but at least Celebrate the Season will get a healthy ratings bump.
