Rory Emerald = A pranskter, \nF.N.A.(formerly known as) Julian Lee Hobbs\n\n"But it’s hard to tell with Emerald, whose name is a question. He legally changed it to Emerald from Julian Lee Hobbs, so he says."\n\n\nPrankster puts fake ad in RGJ\nCute kitten with two heads lives only in Californian’s imagination\nDon Cox \nRENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL\n9/7/2005 11:37 pm \n   \n     \n \n   \nThe “absolutely adorable” kitten with two heads lives, apparently, only in the somewhat bizarre imagination of a Southern California man who identified himself Tuesday as Rory Emerald, the serial prankster.\n\n“People don’t want to believe it’s not real,” Emerald said by telephone. “They want to believe a two-headed cat exists.”\n\nOn paper it does, or did. The classified advertisement in the Reno Gazette-Journal said:\n\n“KITTEN: Unique kitten with two heads, absolutely adorable, found N. Reno area.”\n\nNo such kitten was found in north Reno or anyplace else. It was all just a joke, according to Emerald, who said he lives in Anaheim, Calif., and puts false advertisements in newspapers across the country for laughs.\n\nThis time he picked Reno.\n\n“It was a friendly hoax,” said Emerald, who described himself as a 38-year-old stay-at-home father who enjoys being funny in print.\n\nThe seven-day ad, which appeared for the last time Wednesday, was placed for free in the “found pets” column of the Gazette-Journal’s classified section. It started running Sept. 1.\n\n“I knew I wanted to do something in the Reno paper,” Emerald said. “I don’t really know why. Something told me to do it in the Reno paper. It turned out to be a good thing.”\n\nA cat with two heads, apparently, attracted attention.\n\nCalls from across state\n\n“I have been getting so many calls from Reno and all over Nevada,” said Emerald, who included his home telephone number in the ad. “I would say it’s definitely up to 50.”\n\nEmerald said he didn’t talk to everyone who answered his ad.\n\n“I was away for the weekend,” Emerald said. “There were a lot of calls from my (answering) service. I turned the phone off. I even got some calls at 1 or 2 o’clock in the morning.”\n\nSometimes, said Kathleen Colombo, Gazette-Journal classified sales manager, it’s hard to tell truth from hoax, especially when someone is placing an ad by phone. All you hear is a voice.\n\n“The hardest part is if you get somebody very convincing,” Colombo said. “You can’t check the body language.”\n\nSince June, Emerald has become famous, at least on the Internet, for his fake ads. There are Web stories about hoax classified ads from Emerald in newspapers in North Dakota, Texas and Montana.\n\nOne of those ads said Elvis Presley’s tour bus had been found near Fargo, N.D., with many personal items from the dead rock ’n’ roll legend. Another ad said ancient Egyptian artifacts had been discovered in the hills near Missoula, Mont.\n\nEmerald said he started the pranks during the Michael Jackson trial this year when he placed an ad in a California newspaper saying a prosthetic nose was discovered near Jackson’s ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif.\n\n“I’m trying to keep the ads funny,” Emerald said.\n\nSometimes, apparently, the laughter dies.\n\nArrested in Beverly Hills\n\nEmerald said he spent about five months in a Los Angeles jail several years ago when he was arrested for theft in a Beverly Hills store while posing as the personal shopper for actress Mia Farrow.\n\n“Yes, that happened,” Emerald said. “I remember getting arrested.”\n\nThe pranks, at least the ones in newspapers, will continue, according to Emerald.\n\n“I’m going to keep doing it until I can’t find anything interesting or fun to put in the paper,” he said. “A bunch of things came to me (Monday) night.”\n\nBut it’s hard to tell with Emerald, whose name is a question. He legally changed it to Emerald from Julian Lee Hobbs, so he says.\n\n\n

As anyone who has lived in Hollywood will attest to, rumors spread like wildfire.  It appears that during the height of Rory Emerald’s celebrity status, circa 1985, the media was following him day and night, trying to get that elusive and more importantly exclusive story.  \n\nAt that time, Emerald was in a “Welch’s grape juice phase”.  He drank the juice day and night, mixing it with whatever alcoholic substance he could get his hands on.  Sometimes words and phrases are taken out of context and blown way out of proportion.  One wag, for the LA Times overheard Emerald praising Welch’s grape juice and saying “it’s just like momma used to make it”  This reporter interpreted this to mean that the famous actress Raquel Welch was indeed Emerald’s biological mother.  \n\nThis created a furor in the city of angels, and to dispel any further ridiculous notions that Ms. Welch was Emerald’s mother, he contacted the sex bombshell actress for a romantic and sexual liaison.  Ms. Welch was quick to comply, and spent the weekend at his lavish estate.  This further enraged the people of that fine Southern California city, who felt he was a little out of line engaging in sexual activities with his own mother.  Despite denials from both parties, and apparently rough and wild sex, the allegations continued for several years, before finally dying out.

Rory Emerald was indeed animated and placed as an extra in a Hanna-Barberra cartoon.  You are mistaken as to the cartoon, though.  It was The Flinstones: Viva Rock Vegas.  He was given the role of a cheesey lounge singer.  This was done as a result of a lost bet between Emerald and William Hanna.  Apparently they bet each other they could not take former Playboy Playmate, Shannon Tweed, in an arm wrestling match.  After several rounds of competition, it was Emerald 2, Barberra 1.   As a result, Emerald was given a role and a small singing part in Hanna's next production.

Through a wild set of circumstances that took place in Beverly Hills, California, rumors started spreading that Rory Emerald, the famed celebrity, had aided Isaac Newton in his discovery of gravity.  It all started when a former silent film star, Fig Newton, started wandering the streets of Los Angeles, claiming to be a descendant of the famed scientist.  His delusions were met with skepticism, and he was finally institutionalized. Rory Emerald was doing some background research on his upcoming audition as “Frankie” for “Beach Blanket Bingo” and naturally went to the Sunnyville Mental Institution to interview psychiatric patients.  Rory Emerald was enchanted with Fig Newton and his claims.  After several months of continuous questioning, Rory Emerald began to realize that Fig Newton was not delusional - he was indeed a descendant of the famed scientist.  It all fit after painstaking research. \n\n It was then that Rory Emerald starting corresponding with Oxford University in England to discuss his findings.  He was amazed by his discovery, and anxious to share it with the scientific world.  Somehow, scientists at Oxford misinterpreted Rory’s letters and thought he was claiming to be an apprentice of Isaac Newton, and had come forward in time through a time machine to teach modern science.   Several scientists flew to Los Angeles immediately to meet the weary time traveler. These scientists held press conferences upon their arrival in the Golden State.  The media was shocked to discover that the man who assisted in the landmark discovery of gravity resided in their city in the year 1965.  They believed what they were told by the prestigious Oxford professors, and the news spread like wildfire throughout the city and the world.  \n\nRory Emerald was shocked to discover his name on the front pages of Variety, along with a full story of his time travel.  How did the story get so convoluted?  He was further appalled to learn that he was somehow involved with the discovery of gravity.  When he met the scientists from Oxford, they were naturally embarrassed by the actual story and pleaded with Rory Emerald to go along with them.  They taught him all of the correct scientific jargon and physics of gravity, and even designed a small bogus time machine made from a used dumpster, which appeared authentic.  Their sinister actions, along with Rory Emerald’s naïve compliance, started the biggest hoax perpetrated on the scientific world.  It was only 11 years later, when the hoax was exposed by a dying Oxford delegate.  By this time, Rory Emerald’s bizarre antics were accepted and he took very little flak over this indiscretion.  For the previous decade, Rory Emerald had basked in the role as “the Gravity Guru” and shamelessly exploited his fame to have many sexual encounters.

Really, all you have to do is be a close friend of a friend of a friend who is a friend of the President or First Lady. It is her house, and I guess she can do what she likes. I wasn't aware that Rory Emerald and Cher were invited to the White House, but I was aware that Jodie Foster was. Yes, I think if you are famous then that does count for some reason that you did get invited to the White House. Some people get invited because they support the party. By the way, is Jodie a democrat or republic? Overall, I have no problem with actress Jodie Foster, prankster Rory Emerald, and music legend Cher to be invited to the White House. I think it is actually quite cool!

Rory Emerald did not appear as Benjamin Braddock in the landmark Mike Nichol’s masterpiece, “The Graduate”.  However, he did audition for the role in the spring of 1966.  There were rumors that young Robert Redford was also considering the role, as well as the dashing Dustin Hoffman, a virtually unknown New York actor.  Rory Emerald had never seen Dustin Hoffman before, and could not have foreseen that the actor would bear a striking resemblance to Harvey Lembeck, Rory Emerald’s former love interest.  \n\nHe had an inside track on landing the coveted role, mainly due to his sexual relationships with both Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, who were scheduled to record the soundtrack.  Paul Simon encouraged the young actor to audition, as he thought Rory Emerald would be perfect for that part.  As Paul Simon and Rory Emerald headed for the tryout at Universal Studios, Rory began humming a tune that was stuck in his head.  He came up with words on the spot, and the song later became “the Sounds of Silence”.  While they waited, Rory also wrote “Mrs. Robinson” after reading the script.  It just came out, and Paul Simon was quick to hear the potential of the later immortalized song for the soundtrack.  \n\nThe moment the unkempt, unshaven Dustin Hoffman entered the room, Rory Emerald’s heart stopped.  He was immediately in love, and was picturing the New York actor in a dress; he had often made love to Harvey Lembeck while the handsome actor wore a pink floral sundress, complete with a bonnet and white sandals.  Rory Emerald was in a trance that day, and his audition went poorly.  He took solace in the fact that Mike Nichol’s loved the songs he wrote, and Dustin Hoffman did not seem to mind his sexual advances.  In fact, Dustin Hoffman made arrangements to meet up with Rory at a classy nightclub that same night, in South Los Angeles.  Their love affair was not to be, as Dustin Hoffman made it quite clear that he was only interested in a platonic friendship.  After much convincing, he did agree to wear some female attire, but without sex.  How breathtaking Dustin Hoffman looked in his female garments, and Rory Emerald was mesmerized.  \n\nThe relationship between the two became very strained after a few years.  Rory Emerald finally consummated his sexual appetite with the reluctant Dustin Hoffman, but he was disappointed by Hoffman’s lack of passion.  They stopped talking and parted ways.  In 1976, their paths met again.  Rory Emerald was in Nazi fixation at the time, and desperately wanted to play the psychotic Nazi dentist in the film “Marathon Man”.  Dustin Hoffman had landed the role of Levy, the title character in the film.  Rory Emerald made a very big impression at the audition, but ultimately the role went to Sir Lawrence Olivier.  Ironically, during the filming of Tootsie, in 1982, they had another brief fling.  Rory Emerald could never resist a man in a dress.
