Tito, Jenna, UFC and waiting

For weeks I have been hearing rumors of friction between UFC and its star
Tito Ortiz. From what I have been told, Ortriz's girlfriend, adult star Jenna
Jameson, has been moonlighting as manager for the fighter and infuriating
UFC head Dana White. Since this was just a rumor from people in a position to know parts of the
story, I requested an interview with White to discuss the situation and received
the following e-mail reply:
"I’m sorry but Dana is
unavailable for interviews at this time. Please let me know if you have any
additional questions or if there is something else I can help you
with."
Of course, there was the
entire question. So, I wrote back at once:
"I am interested in reports of friction between UFC and TIto Ortiz over
adult star Jenna Jameson. I would be happy to talk to anyone who could address
the story."
That was four days ago, and still no response.

You always gotta love media relations, no matter what organization or people they represent. It is always a charade. Good luck with that.
