The unleashing of audience power on the internet has had beneficial effects. No one would book a hotel now without looking at the comments on tripadvisor.com; as a price-comparison mechanism, it is unprecedentedly effective. In the realms of artistic endeavour, however, I wonder how far it can go. Can an audience that believes in its right to intervene noisily, both online and in the Wigmore Hall, be said to be an audience at all?
Don’t blame Philip for his latest gaffe
The dear old Duke of Edinburgh, in Exeter last week, met a sea cadet who said she worked in a club. Quick as a flash, the Duke asked if it were a strip club, before observing that it was probably too cold for that and moving on to the next awestruck punter.

Fuqua demonstrates that things are no better on the other side of the country on the equally cruel streets of Brooklyn. Life is so bleak in this New York borough that it feels more like the 1970s, prior to urban renewal and the attendant gentrification of crumbling neighborhoods.
What’s crumbling in Brooklyn is the fortune of three Brooklyn cops, each one unaware of the other even though they work out of the same precinct. Their turf is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods, a situation amplified early on by an officer shooting of a black youth and the simmering anger and hostility of local residents.
Eddie (Richard Gere), a veteran cop about a week away from retirement, wakes up to a morning ritual of a few shots of whiskey and putting a gun in his mouth as practice for suicide. This sad sack lives alone in a shabby apartment and just wants to make it through the day so he can spend some time under the covers with his prostitute girlfriend (Shannon Kane).

Obama, his own self, can be found careening around the country like an over- caffeinated Chihuahua engaged in a last ditch effort to sell the bill to what you might call his hesitant posse. Yeah. Recalcitrant Democrats. What are the odds? Like calling a flash flood- irksome. Hell, at this point Obama would be happy to pass anything. Health care. The jobs bill. A hook pattern. Kidney stone. Toyota Prius.
The overwhelming discombobulating apprehension is the President isn’t just piloting his own kamikaze fighter into the carrier of health care, he’s sending vulnerable troops on the same suicide mission. One that will make Gallipoli look like a weekend pass at an Istanbul brothel. After all, its not his butt on the re- election line this fall, and the GOP strategy to stall proceedings has frothed Democratic incumbents into such a lather, the sweat dripping off their faces is shorting out microphones all across this great land of ours.

Reacting to Andre’s comments wherein he had called her “disgusting” and “a disgrace”, Jordan said: “Why should I be the pawn in his desperate publicity drive for his music? As for what Pete has said about me recently – well, this is like wife beating.” Kate apparently claimed that Andre was giving her a “public battering” only to promote his new album.

Garcia-Lorido, 26, plays a college student who makes ends meet by working at a local strip club, and even though there’s no R-rated nudity in the brief pole-dancing scenes, writer-director Raymond De Felitta says Papa Garcia didn’t want to be around while those scenes were shot.
“He told me, ‘You handle that.’ I’ll be in the family scenes with her,” De Felitta says. But Garcia shrugs off any awkwardness.
…
“Her character is not really a stripper — she’s hanging upside down on the pole in a bikini,” Garcia says. “That’s a long way from stripping in a movie. If she had to strip — ask her — she might not do it. It’s her life at this point. I have certain things that I feel and I can’t impose them on her.”

The difference between pols and prostitutes? In N.Y., not much
March 14, 2010, 5:20AM
Getty ImagesNew York Governor David Paterson waits to give a speech formally announcing his now-abandoned candidacy for re-election.There are some who are shocked, shocked at the news that Kristin Davis, a Manhattan madam of some notoriety, intends to run for governor of New York. But candidly, what could be more appropriate?
It seems perfectly fitting to include the state capital in Albany among the list of leading houses of ill-repute.
As Davis put it in announcing her intention to embark on a new line of work: “Now that I’m in politics, I am finding a huge similarity between politicians and prostitutes. In fact, the members of the New York state legislature are no better than the girls who used to work for me. They’re all doing it for money.”

As it prepares its ninth season, it is noteworthy that several movies opening theatrically in the next few weeks premiered at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival, among them Conor McPherson’s “The Eclipse’ and Bette Gordon’s “Handsome Harry.” Another is a sweet-hearted gem named for its primary location, City Island.
“City Island” is set in the small fishing community, a part of the Bronx that feels remote from New York City, providing a backdrop for a family story where each member has something to hide. Andy Garcia leads a cast that includes Alan Arkin, Julianna Margulies, Emily Mortimer. His own daughter Dominik Garcia-Lorido plays his film daughter, a college student who has a secret vocation as a stripper in a Bada Bing type bar.
Dominik said she refused to have her father on set for some of her scenes. Yes, there’s one that any parent would find difficult: clad in a sequined bikini, the shapely Dominik pole dances upside down.

Woods’ situation has been mercilessly mocked since reports of his marital infidelity became public following the early morning incident of Nov. 27, when he crashed his SUV into a neighbor’s fire hydrant and tree. When Woods made his televised apology at the TPC Sawgrass clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., last month, three women dressed like strippers stood on the highway near the club’s entrance holding signs that read: “Pick me!” During the Farmers Insurance Open, a plane circled around the course carrying a banner that read: “We miss you Tiger! Déjà vu Showgirls.” Earlier this week, shock jock Howard Stern staged the Tiger Woods Mistress Beauty Pageant with three of Woods’ alleged mistresses competing. The animated television show “South Park” is expected to spoof Woods next week in the first show of the series’ 14th season.

This is the car crash incident/accident that will not go away. Though it seems fewer and fewer even care anymore. In case there is still any inkling of curiousity here are the facts.
Tiger ‘romanced’ several bartenders, hostesses, waitresses and strippers. Elin got ahold of Tiger’s phone seeking proof, found what she was looking for and the next thing we know Tiger rams his car into a fire hydrant out front of his house on November 27, 2009.
Since the incident Tiger has entered sex rehab and has vehemently denied any domestic violence in his house…ever. Well, according to documents released by the Florida Highway Patrol Elin was not allowed to ride in the ambulance with Tiger because the ambulance crew thought the crash was a domestic violence case.
The document, written by an FHP trooper who responded to the scene, reads, “As the paramedics loaded [Tiger] into a Health Central Ambulance, one of the crew stated that [Tiger's] wife could not go in ambulance because this was a domestic.”The document states that the officer “never heard [Tiger] speak or [Tiger's] wife make any such statement about domestic violence.”
