A Manhattan businessman has transformed his basement Tribeca condo into an “extreme party” spot — complete with “fire massages,” “flame feats” and a “stripper pole,” court papers charge.
In a bid to avoid possible legal liability for the bacchanalian bashes, the owner, James McGown, transferred the deed for the apartment to his six-year-old daughter, Annabelle, his disgusted neighbors claim in papers filed today in Manhattan Supreme Court.
McGown bought the basement unit at 109 Reade St. in 2006, and secretly switched the deed over to his daughter a year later, the suit says.
He then stopped paying condo fees and his mortgage papers, and in November of last year, leased the space to a tenant named Dimitri Dimoulakis, the filing says.

NEW YORK (1010 WINS)  — A Brooklyn federal judge Wednesday gave the city until May to decide whether they will represent the three NYPD detectives charged in the wrongful death lawsuit of Sean Bell.
The judge rejected the city’s request for a six-month postponement of the civil suit filed nearly three years ago.
 
The case was put on hold while the three officers faced criminal charges and a civil rights investigation.
Juliet Papa reports
Officers Marc Cooper, Gescard Isnora and Michael Oliver were acquitted of criminal charges in the shooting that killed Sean Bell outside a strip club in 2006 while leaving his bachelor party on what would have been his wedding day. 
Bell’s two friends, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, were also injured in the shooting.
The detectives are defendants in the federal lawsuit.
City attorneys say departmental action is pending for the officers.
Bell’s father William wants to see the three officers testify. “They got to say what they did,” he said outside the court Wednesday.
Attorney Michael Hardy says the officers will have to confront every issue that happened the night of the deadly shooting.

Club Kalua owners charged with mortgage fraud
NEW YORK
The mother and son owners of the defunct strip club made infamous by the shooting of Sean Bell have been charged in a mortgage fraud case in Queens.
Martina Duran and Robert Arias were each ordered held on $250,000 bail Tuesday after being charged with larceny, identity theft and other crimes. The pair owned Club Kalua, where Bell’s bachelor party ended in tragedy in 2006.
Undercover detectives investigating reports of prostitution at the club killed the unarmed Bell and wounded two friends in a 50-shot barrage after following them outside. Three officers who claimed they believed the men had a gun were later acquitted of manslaughter.
Prosecutors in the fraud case allege Duran and Arias were part of a $2 million scheme to use stolen identities to buy and sell three properties. There was no immediate response to a phone message left with Duran’s attorney. Her son’s lawyer declined comment.

Spitzer, a mere two years after having been outed for spending $5,000 a pop for a trysts with a sub-average, hard-as-nails looking Washington D.C. hooker Ashley Dupre, is now an ethics (!) lecturer on the college scene.
In November 2009, Spitzer addressed his alma mater Harvard University on “ethics in government.” One month earlier, Spitzer accepted a teaching position at the City College of New York. His class is titled “Law and Public Policy”
If you missed Spitzer in Cambridge, you have time to catch him at the State University of New Paltz on March 11.
My advice to campus administrators: lock up the coeds!
Unbelievable, considering that while in office, Spitzer broke the law as many as 80 times according to Kristin Davis, the madam who managed the prostitution service he frequented.
Davis, you should know, announced her candidacy for governor and will run on the pro-pot, pro-prostitution platform.

Manhattan’s priciest high class escort comes clean
Call girl Natalia: “The dollars made me hot!”
10.03.2010 – 13:07 UHR
Some people work for $2,000 dollars a month. Natalie McLennan earned that in one hour as a high class escort in New York.
Known as Natalia, she was Manhattan’s priciest call girl and she revealed: “The dollars made me hot!”
Natalie came clean about her countless sex experiences with celebrities, politicians, sportsmen and super-rich bosses in the book ‘The Price: My Rise and Fall As Natalia’.
Was she ashamed? Not a chance! Natalie McLennan had no problems writing intimately about her body and about using ‘double dildos’ in her work.
…
And she could easily name the most important thing she learned as a call girl: “To fake horniness a little isn’t enough. Men want to feel that you are excited by sex with them.”

NY Archbishop Dolan hits scandal-scarred Capitol
(AP) ALBANY, N.Y. – New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan made his first trip to Albany on Tuesday and said the scandalous turmoil gripping the Capitol now, as it was two years ago, shows that government isn’t the savior.
It’s the first visit to Albany by a New York archbishop in 24 months, almost to the day when Dolan’s predecessor, Cardinal Edward Egan, was to meet with then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer. That meeting was canceled when Spitzer was named in a prostitution investigation that soon forced his resignation.
Now Gov. David Paterson faces two scandals that threaten his job.
“Somebody asked me yesterday, ‘What do you say to your people who seem dissatisfied, or scandalized by the political problems in the state of New York?’” Dolan recounted. “And I said maybe it’s teaching us-what we would feel is the fundamental issue in life-that government is not our savior. Government is not the messiah. Only God is. And so we should put our ultimate trust in God alone, and everyone else, we cut some slack.”

This week Sam Sifton at the Times upgrades Strip House, the swank Greenwich Village steak house, to two stars. (The paper last reviewed it in 2000.) “William Grimes, in a review for Times that year, wrote that Strip House ‘wasn’t so much a steakhouse as a catalog of hip references to the idea of a steakhouse.’ He awarded the restaurant one star. Now it deserves two,” Sifton declares. “Age has given David Rockwell’s design for the room a kind of gravitas, and with it the restaurant has gained some of the clubby appeal you used to be able to find at places like Gino, on Lexington Avenue, which has a similar layout, or in the bar room at 21. (As at 21, there is great fun to be had in snooping about the place. In addition to portraits of Viennese strippers, torch singers and ancient celebrities on the walls, there is a signed portrait of Thurgood Marshall near the bar.)… And the food is generally marvelous, the steak often superb.”
