QUICK TAKES - April 14, 2009

The executor of Dee Dee Ramone’s estate has gone to court in New York to stop publication of a book about the late punk rocker by his first wife.

Ira Herzog says Vera Davie of Port St. Lucie, Fla., violated an agreement to let him review and change anything she wrote about the bassist, who died in L.A. in 2002.

Davie’s book is “Poisoned Heart: I Married Dee Dee Ramone,” published under the pen name Vera Ramone King by Phoenix Books of Beverly Hills.
