Stoudemire was born Nov. 16, 1982, in Lake Wales, Fla. He bounced around Florida and spent time briefly in Newburgh, N.Y., when he was in grade school, living at so many addresses that he has another tattoo of a street sign listing some of the places he has called home.
After Stoudemire’s father, Hazell, died of a heart attack when Amar’e was 12, life really got rough.

Gray told authorities he used church funds to pay for dinners, hotel rooms, clothing and orders placed to Campus Escorts in New York.

The alleged theft was uncovered by church officials.
Gray allegedly spent more than $205,000 on meals at restaurants like Tavern on the Green, more than $130,000 on hotel stays, including at the Waldorf-Astoria, often at the times he hired male escorts. He is also accused of dropping more than $80,000 on pricey clothing, the Post said.

Manhattan Escorts: Priest Charged In $1.3 Million Theft To Finance Lifestyle, Male Escorts

Officials say the former priest disgruntled over the Catholic church’s treatment towards homosexuals stole $1.3 million over the course of seven years. He’s reported to have spend the cash from church coffers on designer clothes, luxury Manhattan hotels, restaurants and even went so far as to pay Harvard tuition classes for a man he met in Central Park.
Waterbury police Capt. Christopher Corbett read the items parishioners donations paid for and it read like the purchases of a mogul. The 64-year-old stayed at the W Hotel and the Waldorf-Astoria, ate at Tavern on the Green and bought Armani and Brooks Brothers suits, cell phones and laptops.
Court documents also reveal a secret deal Gray allegedly arranged with a cell phone provider that allowed a California company to lease space inside Sacred Heart’s steeple. That deal alone, netted Gray and additional $200,000, which he didn’t disclose to the Archdiocese of Hartford.
In addition to spending lavishly on himself he opened credit card accounts for two men he met. One he met at a male strip club and another via a male escort service.

Manhattan Strip Clubs: Kendra Wilkinson Sliding into Home hits stands

Kendra Wilkinson’s new memoir Sliding into Home is literally divided into bases, with childhood as first base, her troubled teen years as second and her time as a Playboy Playmate as third. Now, at 25-years-old, she’s a wife and mother and claims she’s finally made it to the final chapter, “home base.”
“I’ve been through a lot and I’ve gotten through it,” Kendra Wilkinson said on the Today show. “It’s kind of easy to tell my story now that I’ve gotten through all that. I’m home. I’m safe. I’m where I’ve always wanted to be.”
Before Sliding into Home hit stands July 12, the former Girls Next Door star had to reveal a few secrets to her mom, including her past as a stripper. Turns out, mom already knew about it.
“It wasn’t like I was a druggie stripper,” Wilkinson tells the Today show. “I was a very good person doing it. But I was kind of still embarrassed about it.”

Manhattan Strip Clubs: Sonny Franzese Convicted Of Racketeering

John “Sonny” Franzese, the 93-year-old reputed Colombo underboss, has been convicted on federal racketeering charges involving the shake down of two NYC strip clubs and a loan shark operation as reported by Janon Fisher for the New York Post:  “Jurors apparently didn’t believe defense claims that Franzese was a doddering old man living off Social Security.”
On a historical note, the Colombo crime family long has been involved in the smut rackets — massage parlors, porn distribution, sex clubs — and Sonny Franzese allegedly had an interest in the porn classic Deep Throat.  At one time Franzese allegedly did business with reputed Genovese capo Matthew Ianniello who was a dominant player in the gay bar industry.  An October 8, 1967 article (”Mafia Increasing Investments in Business on L.I.”) by Charles Grutzner from the New York Times states: ‘”Franzese is reported to have a concealed stake in several bars, motels and cocktail lounges, including places patronized by homosexuals.
