Scandals Strip Club Takes NYC to Court
It’s getting so you can’t make a sleazy living in this town anymore: Scandals strip club in Long Island City (conveniently located at the foot of the Queensboro Bridge, no cover before 8 p.m.!) is taking the city to court to fight zoning changes forcing the establishment out of the neighborhood. According to court papers obtained by the tabloids, the lawsuit accuses the city of relentlessly shrinking the 21 districts where strip clubs can legally operate.
These “special districts” include residences where “adult businesses” can’t operate within 500 feet. Scandals’ lawyer Joan Toro says the club has already been forced to move twice, and now they’re being run out of Long Island City on a pole, er rail. “This would absolutely shutter them,” Toro warns the Daily News, “If people want to get lap dances, they should be able to get lap dances.” Isn’t this is what our nation’s Founding Gentlemen fought for?

The blonde blames the pressures of Hollywood for forcing her to worry about her figure.
‘If I didn’t run and work out, there’s no way I would be this thin,’ she told Glamour magazine in an earlier interview.
‘But I have to stay in shape because I’m an actress.
‘It’s f***ed up and it’s twisted, but I wouldn’t get the roles otherwise.’
Leading the way: She then took her dog for walk in the LA sunshine

(CANVAS STAFF REPORTS) – Wonder what actresses such as “Mamma Mia” star Amanda Seyfried do to keep in such great shape? In the new issue of Esquire magazine Seyfried tells all.
“I’m on a raw-food diet,” she revealed during an interview with the magazine, as she munched down on some tabbouleh. “It’s intense. And sort of awful. Yesterday for lunch? Spinach. Just spinach and some seeds.”
The blonde bombshell showed off her svelte physique when she posed in some revealing photos, wearing lingerie, in the April issue of Esquire.
And there isn’t much left to the imagination in her new movie “Chloe,” which has her baring all for a part as a call girl who is hired to seduce Julianne Moore’s character’s husband, played by Liam Neeson.

Darryl Strawberry (+700) is considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time.  It’s too bad that his personal life couldn’t get there too.  We all know this athlete as the 6-foot-6 slugger who helped lead the New York Mets to a World Series in ’86 and the New York Yankees to three World Series in the late ’90’s.  His career finally came to an end in ’99 but he continued to involve himself in the baseball world.  
His career didn’t come without struggles as he was arrested and charged several times for drug possession and solicitation of a prostitute.  Adding to he legal drama, he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1998 and surgically removed the tumor.  Days after the surgery the doctors discovered that Strawberry had cancer in his lymph node and he would have to undergo chemotherapy. With all of that in the past, Darryl is looking to the future and will be working hard to bring in as much as he can to his charity “The Darryl Strawberry Foundation”.

In “Hell Gate”, Alex is called to the scene of a rusted freighter that has run aground on a sandbar near Rockaway Beach. The captain has abandoned his vessel, which is loaded with human cargo from the Ukraine. The cops and rescue personnel deal with the hundreds of survivors as well as those who drowned while escaping the cargo ship. While many men were on board, coming to America for jobs, so were a number of young women, who were being forced into sexual slavery. The cops also are dealing with Congressman Ethan Leighton, whose rising career may be on the skids after he fled the scene of a car accident to cover up an extramarital affair.
Fairstein seamlessly balances glimpses of New York City history that parallel the contemporary events of “Hell Gate.” The horrific importing of young women later forced into prostitution seems ripped from the headlines, but the practice is centuries-old. The 21st century didn’t spawn politicians cheating on their wives or denying parenthood, nor are politicial corruption and slush funds modern inventions. All that’s changed, Fairstein shows, is the way these events unfurl.

Amanda Seyfried: Love Scene with Julianne Moore Was Risky By Suzanne Zuckerman Wednesday March 17, 2010 07:00 AM EDT
In Chloe, Julianne Moore’s character hires a prostitute played by Amanda Seyfried to tempt her possibly cheating husband (Liam Neeson). What ensues is a much-buzzed-about sex scene between the two women. So how did the actors prepare to lose their inhibitions? Tequila shots? Group therapy? Turns out it was all pretty technical.
“Was it different because it was [with] a girl? No,” Moore told reporters in New York Monday about her onscreen tryst with Seyfried. “Whenever you have an intimate scene with somebody, you’re very prepared. Everyone knows exactly what’s happening and it’s usually very choreographed … Amanda and I were comfortable with each other.”
Moore, 49, went on to call her 24-year-old costar “lovely” and “quite impressive.” But it wasn’t such a clear-cut call for Seyfried, who admits to being so “intimidated” she tried to back out of the movie.

… Socrates argued that finding a just ruler is incredibly rare,” Levin said. “Most people, given an opportunity to commit an injustice, will.”
That’s why Plato said only the wise should rule even if that spawns elitism, she added, because “nobody worthy of ruling would even want to do it.”
Some of those ancient theories seem to be playing throughout government in the state, especially in Albany, the capital city. With an investigation still under way into allegations of improper interference in the case of a top aide accused of domestic violence, Paterson still faces the possibility of being forced to resign.
If that happens, the state faces the specter of its third governor in the term won in 2006 by Eliot L. Spitzer — who resigned following a prostitution scandal.

Shake it over there. No, way over there.
The city is surreptitiously trying to force strip clubs out of town, court papers charge.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Scandals strip club says the city and its agencies have been shrinking areas that were “reserved” for adult establishments by creating “special districts.”
The “special districts” include residences, where the adult businesses aren’t allowed within 500 feet.
Scandals’ lawyer, Joan Toro, said the strip joint has already been forced to move twice, and now that its current location in Long Island City, Queens, has been made a special district, it has nowhere to go. She wants a court order invalidating the rules.
Robin Binder of the city Law Department said, “We are confident that this latest challenge has no more merit than the cases previously rejected by the state’s highest court.”
