Manhattan Strip Clubs: It Happened This Week

This week, Madonna launches her line for Macy’s, Playboy sues Drake over copyright infringement, and Diane von Furstenberg dresses the NYC Rockettes. Read on!
1. DVF dresses the NYC Rockettes. After wearing one of her printed frocks, we doubt the leggy ladies will ever want to go back to those Santa costume! (DVF)
2. Though it’s not as bad as we imagined it’d be, one of the only good things that came out of Madonna’s Material Girl line for Macy’s is her daughter, Lola’s tweeny blogging for the brand. (WWD)
3. Playboy sues Drake over copyright infringement. And we gotta make the joke—Stealing lyrics—when it comes to ideas, this is probably not one of the best he’s ever had. (Arts Beat)
4. Taylor Momsen’s dirty-girl-or-am-I look crossed over to just dirty girl territory with her stripper heels she wore with a built-in compartment for dollar bills. (Daily Mail)

Manhattan Strip Clubs: Phillyist Reviews: Passion Pit with Tokyo Police Club at the Mann

From the first song to the last, the level of performance from Passion Pit was bar none. Their set was so electric they were being tipped from the pit! And not small bills, no, no. One concert-goer slipped lead singer Michael Angelakos a twenty dollar bill while the band worked out a technical issue. As the show went on Michael would periodically try to give the bill back, each time being refused, until finally some other audience members threw a few singles on stage. Aren’t bras and underwear the more traditional thing to fling? Hey, these boys aren’t strippers, but they sure are stars.

AMBER ROSE BRAVES THE SPOTLIGHT
Never one to miss a night out on the town, Amber Rose was seen stepping out in New York City on Thursday (July 1).
Rocking a hot pink mini dress and strappy sandals, the 27-year-old former stripper enjoyed a night of dancing, drinking and posing for the paparazzi before heading home at 3 AM.
Meanwhile, Amber recently made headlines praised on-again, off-again boyfriend Kanye West for “saving” her life and helping to kick-start her modeling career.
She told YRB magazine, “Honestly, Kanye saved my life, and I don’t even think about what I would have been; I just think about what I’m going to be.”
Amber refuses to let her newfound star status inflate her ego and she’s constantly amazed when fans recognize her on the street.

Manhattan Escorts: Men charged with beating, torturing 2 sisters in Colonie motel room

COLONIE — Authorities say two brothers have been charged with beating and torturing two Vermont sisters in a Colonie motel room over a dispute involving the men’s escort service.
Officials say Friday the sisters from Pawlet, Vt. traveled to New York City in February after seeing an Internet advertisement for jobs in the entertainment business. Police say once there, the sisters realized the jobs were for illegal escort services and left the city.
Police say 31-year-old Colby Sylvain of Bayonne, N.J. and 29-year-old Herby Sylvain of Brooklyn tracked the sisters to an upstate motel, where they beat, tortured and robbed the women.
The brothers were arraigned Monday on charges including assault and unlawful imprisonment and grand larceny. They were sent to jail.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: The Russian spy scandal that nobody much cared about

The suspect who seems to have taken this mission most seriously is the one who is the darling of the tabloids because of her sexy looks and flaming red hair. “Anna Chapman”, as she likes to be called, did not bury herself in suburbia like most of her fellow accused, but was a busy clubber and party-goer in Manhattan. And although her background remains something of a mystery, she was perfectly open about having had Russian connections, saying on her Facebook page how much easier it was in America than in Russia to meet successful people: “In Moscow, it is practically impossible because you have to be as successful as they are . . . here you can meet successful people on the street and go have dinner with them.” She seems to have met at least one or two Wall Street financiers. But it can’t have helped her in her espionage work that she was often suspected at parties of being a prostitute. As one of these financiers put it, “She was very sexually aggressive and wore revealing clothing.”

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

The elements of Love Ranch that are the most fascinating involve screenwriter Mark Jacobson’s examination of the Bontempos inability to run their perfectly legal business inside the law. They seem incapable of managing their operation without cheating the IRS and keeping two sets of accounting books, among their many offenses. I was especially impressed with Pesci’s work as Charlie, a man who pitches his brothel and prostitutes like used cars. His ridiculous southern accent underscores the lengths he will go to to get people to like him and use his services. But he also manages to unleash an ugly, dangerous, slightly psychotic side that made me think, “Ah, there’s the Joe Pesci we know and love.” Mirren certainly goes for a more Zen approach to her performance, but her real strength comes in the gradual breaking down of her resistance to falling in love with Bruza.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: CNN’s Tilt Towards Misogyny

As a New Yorker and head of a women’s organization, I received scores of emails from enraged women when word got out that CNN was considering hiring the disgraced former governor. The network couldn’t possibly be serious? After all, we had witnessed the very public humiliation of Silda Wall Spitzer, the brilliant, talented spouse who gave up the prospect of a high-powered career to play the supporting role and raise the children.
Silda was and is a tireless advocate for causes related to women and children. In fact, I was on the Planning Committee for My Sister’s Place where Silda was scheduled to deliver the keynote address on March 11, 2008 on the subject of reducing domestic violence. Many of us had months before heard Silda’s inspiring speech about the importance of getting more women into government. Tragically, on March 10th, we learned that then Governor Spitzer had been caught on a federal wiretap arranging a rendezvous with a high-priced prostitute.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Kristen Stewart Afraid She Will Be Assassinated on Red Carpet

Explaining why she always has a stoic expression on red carpet, the 20-year-old actress told U.K.’s Hello magazine about her red carpet fear. “I don’t feel very comfortable on the red carpet,” she revealed. “I look out there at a thousand people and I realize they could rush me and assassinate me. No security could protect me.” Stewart went on with her doubt, “Ostensibly they’re fans, but I think about them turning on me.”
Though so, Kristen, who will be seen playing a young prostitute in “Welcome to the Rileys”, realized that she could not avoid being surrounded by fans and paparazzi during the promotional efforts. “It’s a job,” she previously told a reporter at the Los Angeles premiere of “Eclipse”. “It’s only crazy like this at these premieres, but otherwise I live a very normal life. I don’t need anything else to ground me.”

The two unnamed sisters told police they didn’t realize they were dealing with a prostitution operation when they responded to the online ad.
The girls claim they went to New York to check the company out and instead were tied up and beaten with baseball bats when they tried to leave. They were then put in the bathtub and a cold shower was turned on them.
Colby Sylvain, 30, and Herby Sylvain, 28, are facing multiple charges, including robbery, burglary and assault. If convicted, they could be sentenced to 25 years in prison.
