There’s something kind of laughable about a fame whore. I don’t know when it became the norm for people who have been connected in some way, shape, or form to a celebrity to kiss and tell in the form of books that no doubt got them big advances, but I think it’s really pretty pathetic in a comical kind of way.
Children’s television icon Bozo the Clown, aka Larry Harmon, died in 2008 shortly after finishing a memoir of a very interesting life. This piece was posthumously published as The Man Behind the Nose and includes tales of a guy who “was a professional clown, ran for President, bonded with dangerous cannibal tribes in New Guinea, and was saved from being swallowed whole by a murderous python in Thailand by his 83 AAA shoes.”
In addition to these feats, Bozo faced divorce court four times … and Sandra Harmon is evidently going out of her way to make sure that she is the most memorable of the bunch who squeezed Bozo’s nose in the name of holy matrimony.
Harmon, perhaps best known for co-writing Elvis & Me with Priscilla Presley, has also written a couple of books about relationships … and now she’s spilling the beans on her marriage to Bozo—including …
… deets on his alleged infidelity—with a work-in-progress entitled Sleeping With Bozo and Other Clowns.
“Bozo is only one of the clowns I have slept with, although none of the other clowns wore makeup with a red nose,” Sandra told Pop Tarts. “‘Sleeping With Bozo and Other Clowns’ is part memoir and part celebrity tell all, since I have lived a long and exciting life in show business and have met many celebrities and certainly slept with a good number, and have lots of stories to tell, some funny, some not so funny, but all true.”
Here’s the thing. I love celebrity gossip. I’m obsessed with it. I spent my allowance on People and Star when my friends were buying mascara and Exclamation perfume. My pre-teen obsession with all things celebrity hasn’t changed as I’ve reached adulthood, and I’m as fascinated by the world inhabited by the famous now as I was back then.
That said, though, it’s one thing to have followed the demise of—to give one example—Mel Gibson’s marriage as he knocked up (and supposedly knocked out) Oksana Grigorieva through tabloid mags and gossip sites. I suppose that makes me a voyeur, but I just find the whole idea of celebrity utterly fascinating, particularly when I see the point driven home again and again and again that the rich and famous have the exact same problems as everyone else.
It’s something else entirely to try to cash in on the fact that you boned a bunch of celebs as the result of being married to Bozo the Clown. I mean, have a little self-respect, Sandra Harmon.
An aspiring politician once referred to me as his “cum slut.” That’s as specific as I would ever get on that, partly out of respect for the guy’s aspirations but even more so because I think I’m better than that. What possible good would it do me, or anyone else—including Sandra Harmon—to name names, a la Rachel Uchitel?
We can make the logical assumption that she screwed Bozo. Other than that, I really think the woman should just keep her sex life to herself—unless of course it was very general, more of an “an actor once called me a semen slurper” kind of thing.
Interestingly, Bozo’s co-author Scott McKenzie is minimizing Harmon in what could surely be termed a zinger.
“Larry never mentioned any ex wives, he never gave any first-hand information on any past relationships,” he told Pop Tarts. “Obviously any memoir is the product of its writer; this is Larry’s and Larry’s experiences. Certainly Mrs. Harmon is entitled to her own perspective on events, but I can’t really comment on her because Larry never mentioned her.”
So what do you think, oh wise ZL readers … does Sandra Harmon have the right to blow the whistle on whomever chose to engage in sexual acts with her, or is her Bozo book just a famewhoring attempt to get herself some attention?

My vote in on “Her Bozo book just a famewhoring attempt to get herself some attention”
“An aspiring politician once referred to me as his “cum slut. I wouldn’t write a book, but I sure would want to put an end to the “aspiring” part of his career.
I don’t really care, but this Harmon lady sounds like a fame monkey. Ook for the camera, sweetheart.
Clowns are fucking creepy and should never be brought up in polite conversation. Clown sex is the stuff of horrors and should never be brought up at all.
I once had sex with a female clown,it was great,until I woke up and saw my dick had been twisted into the shape of a wiener dog!
That picture is fucking scary. Arrghhh the nightmares.
