HIS LIFE ON THE INSIDE
The Blago detail . . . I spy . . .
How times change. Four years ago, former Gov. Rod Blagojevich was attempting to hold court at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colo., and tossing a party for then-state Veterans chief Tammy Duckworth.
Upshot: Sneed has learned Blago, who is serving a 14-year prison sentence in Colorado, is finally off the pots and pans detail.
The buckshot: Blago, who is eager to teach the classics to fellow inmates, is still on kitchen duty, serving meals and washing tables. “He’s not a professor yet but we expect him to be in the library in the next 30 to 45 days making sure books come in and go out — and then maybe he can start teaching,” said his former attorney, Sam Adam Jr. sends him biographies of U.S. presidents . . . they’re up to President No. 7, Andrew Jackson.
“Continues to do a lot of running — up to six miles a day in the prison yard — and is trying to get up to 10 miles a day as well as lifting weights.
“Exchanges e-mails with my dad at least four or five times a week . . . They discuss the state of affairs in politics . . . We both plan on visiting him shortly after Christmas.” Brian Urlacher had eyeballs twitching when each occupied tables separated by a DJ booth Saturday night at the Studio Paris club.
Pop shot: McCarthy was bouncing to music with owner R.J. Melman and a bevy of girls — while Urlacher bantered in his space with his buddies celebrating a pal’s birthday.
And, no, neither of them exchanged words of woo. Boo hoo?
Film director Sofia “Lost in Translation” Coppola spotted representing the family’s wine business at Chicago Cut on Saturday night . . . and on Sunday night, actress Diane Lane in town for an upcoming performance in “Sweet Bird of Youth” at the Goodman Theatre, was spotted at the eatery.
