Banished by the Queen?

By SOPHFRONIA SCOTT GREGORY

ALAN DERSHOWITZ SHOULD CHECK OUT HIS CLIENT LIST THESE days. It appears to need a little updating. The famed appellate attorney is denying rumors that he is no longer on the team of hotel queen Leona Helmsley and saying he continues to work behind the scenes for the Queen of Mean, who is now in prison after being convicted of tax evasion. But Milton Gould, who heads Helmsley's new legal effort, bluntly says Dershowitz is out of the picture. "He is not acting for her any longer," Gould says of Dershowitz. "He is not doing anything that I know about, and I'm supposed to know." Maybe Dershowitz is working pro bono. He just doesn't know it yet.
