Biography

Career

Casablanca began writing for "Premiere magazine" in 1987, where he originally conceived his column before transferring it to E! in 1996 as a weekly (then subsequently, daily) column. He regularly presents it on E! Television and sometimes appears as a correspondent and commentator for various E! Television events. As Bruce Bibby, he has written for a number of entertainment magazines and has been a contributor to the television magazine "Hard Copy".

The most notable section of his "Awful Truth" column is his weekly "Blind Vice" piece, in which he provides cleverly constructed clues to otherwise unknown secrets and scandals about celebrities, prompting readers to deduce the identities of the people in these blind items.

Television and Film Appearances

Casablanca has appeared on several television series, usually as a commentator, but he has also appeared as himself on "Grosse Pointe"imdb name|id=1576924|name=Ted Casablanca] and, most recently, in an episode of "General Hospital" in February 2007.cite news | title=In | date=2007-02-27 | publisher= "Soap Opera Weekly"| page = 5 ]

In 2006, he provided commentary alongside cast member Barbara Parkins for the special edition DVD of "Valley of the Dolls". He also appeared in the featurette on the bonus DVD entitled, "The Divine Ms. Susann". Casablanca has been a long-time fan of the film. The name "Ted Casablanca" was borrowed from a minor character from "Valley".

Casablanca has maintained a famous long-running feud with Arnold Schwarzenegger, which began when the former actor allegedly had his bodyguards rough up Casablanca at the 1996 premiere of Schwarzenegger's film "Eraser".
