Be sure to check out Chris Shott’s piece in The New York Observer about BD’s shameful attempt to evict a dying man, Jann Paxton. So what about it Marlene? Is it so important to win your war against Stanley Bard that you’re willing to abandon ever last shred of common decency? We think that, as…

Things are getting a little bit ridiculous here at the Chelsea. This powerful, egomaniacal businesswoman, Marlene Krauss, who should have better things to do with her time, has, for the past 20 years, been engaged in a mindless and destructive Vendetta against the majority shareholder and former manager of the Chelsea Hotel, Stanley Bard. Recently,…

I went to the arbitration hearing today and it was cancelled. According to BD’s attorney, BD has withdrawn its petition which was seeking to block their termination. So BD is no longer in the house!

No one from BD has shown up yet at the Hotel as of 9:30 a.m. Reportedly the locks on the manager’s offices have been changed. Maybe Marlene Krauss can send in some armed guards to keep them out like she did the Bards. We’re afraid they might cart off pieces of the famed staircase.

Legends has managed to obtain a copy of the arbitration filing that will ultimately determine who will manage the Chelsea Hotel.

So guess what, a real reporter — as opposed to electronic kind — has had the sense to go down to the courthouse and look at the papers. Chris Shott of The Observer reports that Marlene has fired BD for "willful misconduct" (wich no doubt includes some of what we discussed yesterday.). BD,…

They have reportedly been fired by minority shareholder Marlene Krauss, Harvard MBA, who, together with lobby layabout David Elder, controls the Chelsea’s Board of Directors. (Alternately, it’s possible that the courts may…

Artie has a new banner to celebrate the news! We’ve all heard that Marlene Krauss has handed BD their walking papers. Check back for more details as they become available. Read the posts from earlier this week to catch up on what you’ve missed.

We’ve heard from multiple sources that today is Director of Operations Glennon Travis’s last day at the Chelsea Hotel. (And if it’s not today, then it’s reportedly coming up soon.) Our only question is, what took so long? In his brief tenure here at the hotel, Glennon has managed to alienate nearly everyone he has…

Uh-oh Spaghetti-Os Glennon! Marlene Krauss, Harvard MBA, was here at the Chelsea Hotel AGAIN yesterday. Dear God, how this must be interfering with her career as an MD, Master of the Universe and bad ass corporate raider! Additionally, her $4.5 million home on the Upper East Side continues to sit unsold on the market. It’s…
