TABLOID REPORTER TURNED PSYCHIC,
LYSA MOSKOWITZ-MATEU HUNTS CHANDRA LEVY
by Mimi Brickmeyer, staff reporter .[August
8, 2002]
[HollywoodInvestigator.com] Ex-tabloid reporter Lysa Moskowitz-Mateu (aka Lysa
Mateu), co-author of Poison
Pen: The True Confessions of Two Tabloid Reporters, has found a new
career doing what tabloids only cover -- working as a professional psychic!
And so amazing are Mateu's
psychic powers (of which she makes no mention in Poison
Pen), that she's even been involved in the hunt
for Chandra
Levy!
Mateu paid a heavy price for Poison
Pen -- once her employers at The
Star discovered she was writing it, her tabloid reporting days were
numbered -- and she was forced to freelance.
Her
tragic tale continues its heart-breaking spiral! Mateu
tells how she lost a potential job on the Oprah Show after confessing her
connections to The Globe --
a paper that caused Oprah so much heartache and grief with its fat photos! The plucky Mateu also recounts her brave attempts at writing
TV sitcom scripts -- which apparently also led nowhere.
Yet despite her astonishing
psychic powers and amazing past, the gutsy gal remains modest and does
not tout her tabloid book on her Channeling
Spirits website.
But luckily for folks seeking
to contact recently departed friends and relatives, Lysa Mateu remains
generous with her time. For despite Poison
Pen's condemnation of "our modern, celebrity-obsessed Cult of Personality"
Mateu is available for media
interviews!
Listen to Lysa Mateu display her amazing abilities on radio!
Shocking, radio listeners were not impressed by Lysa Mateu's amazing abilities, and criticized her heavily on this bulletin board.
Lysa Mateu has also showcased her amazing abilities via the Learning
Annex. In their Summer II 2002 catalog (page 5.) Mateu
is described as a psychic who "not only hears, sees and feels your loved
ones, she takes on their mannerisms and speech patterns. A spirit
medium like no other -- she can connect you with the specific person you
want to hear from in a manner of minutes."
Wow!
Lysa Mateu
replies: You are incorrect in stating that I was forced to freelance after
the book was written. I was already freelancing and I quit the tabloids
then wrote the book so they never forced me to quit as there was no book
at the time I quit. [From an email, June, 13, 2003]
