The basics: Fell into TV news 16 years ago and remained there until a run-in with CNN management earlier this year over what you're reading right now. During my somewhat illustrious and certainly notorious career, I've been a producer and manager at the local and network levels in Miami, Los Angeles and New York. I have a couple of Emmys to my name as well as a Golden Mic Award, none of which mitigates the fact that I'm kind of an unrepentant wise-ass. I live in New York City with my wife -- a beautiful, brilliant and extraordinarily patient woman named Jayne -- and our new baby girl. I'd love for somebody to properly explain to me why America hasn't deported Bush, Cheney and around 73% of Congress, Hollywood hasn't stopped trying to convince me that Sarah Jessica Parker is attractive, gullible soccer moms haven't realized that they share absolutely no kinship with Oprah, and Fox canceled Firefly. I'm a regular contributor to The Huffington Post, 23/6, "The Morning Briefing" on XM Radio Channel 130, and Pajiba.com. By all means, feel free to pester me at: deusexmalcontent@gmail.com.

"As a blogger, Chez Pazienza is filled with outrage, passion and insight -- delivered with a distinctive point of view, a wicked sense of humor, and a two-fisted style of prose. In Dead Star Twilight, he turns all these on himself -- and produces a fierce, funny, disturbing, but ultimately uplifting memoir. This is the book A Million Little Pieces dreamed of being." -- Arianna Huffington
