Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Sharpton: Feds won’t pursue NYPD shooting of man

NEW YORK — The Rev. Al Sharpton says there will be no federal civil rights case in the New York City police shooting of Sean Bell.
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn had been reviewing the shooting of the 23-year-Bell, who was gunned down outside a Queens strip club on his wedding day in 2006. Four police officers were acquitted of manslaughter and other charges in 2008.
Bell’s supporters had lobbied prosecutors to charge the shooters with violating Bell’s civil rights.
But Sharpton said Tuesday the family was told no case would be brought.
Prosecutors had no immediate comment.
The officers — undercover detectives investigating reports of prostitution at the club — said they opened fire because they thought someone in Bell’s group was reaching for a gun. Fifty shots were fired at Bell’s car. No weapon was found.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Going back to Travis Bickle

Now, is this really a good idea? Did Scorsese simply invoke Von Trier’s name in generous tribute to his Danish interviewer? Some might suggest that the real sequel to Taxi Driver has in any case already been achieved: by John Hinckley Jr, in 1981, outside the Washington Hilton. Obsessed with star Jodie Foster and her performance in Taxi Driver, and in a grotesque attempt to “impress” her and claim her attention, Hinckley shot President Ronald Reagan.
It is easy to forget, no matter how many times you have seen Taxi Driver, that its final scene is not the devastating sequence in which a blood-spattered Travis Bickle is found at the wrecked hotel room, grinningly miming blowing his own brains out. In the final moments, a calmer, saner Travis gets a visit from Cybill Shepherd, whom Travis was pathetically trying to date and who has now indeed been rather impressed by his murderous “rescue” of Foster’s teenage prostitute.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Gov. Paterson Plans to Officially Launch Campaign Soon

Gov. Paterson Plans to Officially Launch Campaign Soon

Paterson’s inauguration on March 17, 2008, was greeted with relief by New Yorkers, who had barely absorbed the shocking news that Eliot Spitzer, who had won election in a landslide victory, had resigned, after his visits to high priced prostitutes was made public.
“Let me reintroduce myself,” Paterson told the cheering crowd on that day. “I am David Paterson, and I am the governor of New York.”
Paterson made history, as the state’s first African American and legally blind governor, and for a time received the good will of the public.
Then came a series of missteps. He dithered in choosing a US Senator to replace Hilary Clinton, and his aides insulted Caroline Kennedy in the process. He abruptly changed his stance on budget matters, scrapping a message of fiscal austerity, and agreeing to increased taxes, fees and spending at the height of the recession. Less than a year into his tenure, Paterson’s approval rating stood at a mere 18%.

Manhattan Escorts: Porn actor claims Tiger Woods got her pregnant – twice

Joslyn James, 32, said she was expecting Tiger’s babies at the same time his Swedish wife Elin was pregnant with his two children.
She said she miscarried the first child 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.
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,” she said.
Interviewed on US TV, 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 actor.
