Steve Charles Hyatt
It wasn’t three days after Hyatt left King County Jail — released on bond for investigation of driving under the influence and with a suspended license — that police said he was back to being a criminal.
Hyatt, whose photo has not officially been released by Seattle police, allegedly punched a woman police officer in the face after crashing his SUV into a house in his attempt to elude her.
The officer tried to stop him after about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday after a conversation with two suspected prostitutes on Aurora. But Hyatt, 33, allegedly fled when she put her flashlight on his SUV.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Scorsese, de Niro may remake Taxi Driver

De Niro, now 66, was half his current age when he took on the role of Travis Bickle, a softly spoken New Yorker who, it was suggested, is a Vietnam war veteran – he kept a charred Viet Cong flag in his apartment and had a large scar on his back.
The film begins with Travis as a lonely man living in Manhattan, occasionally writing to his parents to give them the false impression that he is living a fulfilling life as a government employee. He becomes a taxi driver in order to cope with his chronic insomnia, working 12-hour shifts by night, and visiting porn movie theatres by day. Increasingly isolated and unstable, he decides to clean up the streets of New York after he meets a 12-year-old prostitute played by Jodie Foster.

Blankenburg’s twin brother, Mark, is being held in Butler County Jail after being convicted in October of molesting three former patients and sentenced to as much as 27 years in prison.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Governor David Paterson’s Alleged ‘Sex And Drugs’ Are A Lesson To Lucky John Terry

SNOWHITE he’s not. Meet the Governor of the State of New York. The man who would be John Terry if he could and have a super-injunction slammed into place.
Governor David Paterson, happens to be a Democrat and both Black and Blind, the state’s first African-American governor – and the first blind ­governor in America.
On the day after his appointment he admitted using cocaine and he and his wife had a series of affairs, and did what any shrewd politico would do: he asked for forgiveness. The alleged crack-head then allegedly carried on as before. There are rumours of womanising and drug use.
Paterson took over after Governor Eliot Spitzer was politically castrated by his fondness for prostitutes.
Things did not go well and a State Senator used a television interview to call Paterson a “coke-snorting, staff-banging governor,” there was no super-injunction and no come back.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Hugh Hefner’s licentious lifestyle gets the old playboy in legal hot water

NEW YORK â For nearly four decades Hugh Hefner has revelled in a life of hedonistic indulgence and excess in the faux Tudor and Gothic opulence of the 29-room $50?million Playboy Mansion.
The founder of Playboy magazine has enjoyed the company of a revolving harem of hand-picked Playmates and thrown legendary parties lavish even Los Angeles standards, while overseeing an adult entertainment empire.
The 83 year-old, often pictured in his red velvet smoking jacket, has shown no sign of allowing his advancing years to affect his libidinous lifestyle. But Mr Hefner is now being sued by a disgruntled shareholder who claims he is putting his sybaritic desires above the interests of a business that has been in financial freefall in recent years.
David Brown, an investor from Los Angeles, alleges that “Hef” sabotaged potential deals for the sale of Playboy Enterprises late last year because he wanted to cling to his hedonistic existence.

Manhattan Escorts: Tiger Woods: Porn star Joslyn James claims he got her pregnant TWICE

Joslyn James, 32, said she was expecting the golfer’s babies at the same time that his Swedish wife Elin was pregnant with his two children.
She said she miscarried the first child at about the time Elin gave birth to daughter Sam in June 2007.
And she claimed she aborted the second baby close to the February 2009 birth of Woods’s son, Charlie.
Miss James, whose film CV includes Big Breasted Nurses and My First Sex Teacher, said her three-year affair with the disgraced sports hero always involved unprotected sex.
But she insisted she never told 34-year- old Woods that she was pregnant.
‘I didn’t want to ruin anything.’
Interviewed on U.S. TV, Miss James said she was still in love with Woods despite being one of as many as 11 alleged mistresses including waitresses, escort girls and another porn actress.

Manhattan Escorts: His predecessor resigned in prostitution scandal, now governor battles …

While the reports are unconfirmed, they mean fresh trouble to the governor, who had been facing pressure from Washington and within New York to drop out of the election because of his low poll numbers, and concerns from other Democrats that he might hurt their chances in 2010.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, many Democrats’ preferred candidate for governor in 2010, refused to comment on Tuesday on the unsubstantiated tales.
“We don’t comment on rumours,” a Cuomo spokesman said. “There are serious problems facing our state and the attorney general is busy doing the job he was elected to do.”
Many Democrats have voiced wishes that Cuomo run for governor instead of Paterson, who took the post upon the resignation of Eliot Spitzer amid allegations Spitzer hired a high-priced prostitute from an escort service.
