BOSTON GANG BOSS WHITEY BULGER GOES TO TRIAL

Whitey Bulger is the last of America's old school gangsters and sometime this week he will go on trial for a litany of crimes -- including 19 murders. The man who owned Boston for decades --and inspired Jack Nicholson's crazed mob boss in The Departed -- was finally run to ground after years on the run with his mob moll in 2011.
Now 83, the crime lord's platinum hair is gone and the remnants of his feared Winter Hill Gang are dead, in prison  or if they're lucky, scattered to the wind. Can the old crook pull another miracle?

However, the former lawyer for one-time Bulger rival Francis “Cadillac Frank” Salemme says that the gangster's history of informing for the FBI says otherwise. He said: "He's a bonafide rat."

HEAT'S ON WHITEY BULGER'S MOLL, CATHERINE GREIG

FBI investigators are going to refocus their energies in bringing Boston mob kingpin Whitey Bulger to justice by turning up the heat on his longtime moll: Catherine Greig. G-Men believe that Greig is the key to finding Bulger, who has been on the lam since 1995. The onetime pooh-bah of the notorious Winter Hill Gang--and inspiration for Jack Nicholson's whacked out gang chief in The Departed--is wanted for the murders of 19 men and women along with a litany of other charges. The FBI is offering a $2 million reward for the capture of the 81-year-old killer. The Boston Herald has also suggested that Bulger could be dead and that the Feds may just want to know where, ahem,
