Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Seven months out of rehab, ‘humbled’ Artie Lange talks Hoboken — the parade …

Lange wouldn’t mind if New York City canceled its parades, too, although, for more than a decade, all his memories of the holiday have been after the crowds broke up and the punching broke out, a few blocks west of Fifth Avenue.
“From the time I was 17 to almost 28, almost every year, I was at the Blarney Stone, fighting, God knows what. I remember the Knicks played the Celtics, St Patrick’s Day at the Garden, and we’re at the Blarney Stone across the street after the parade. We watched the first two quarters at the bar before realizing we had tickets, we were so drunk.”
Lange isn’t drunk anymore. He’s been off booze, drugs, gambling and prostitutes since leaving rehab last June, the first time he attempted recovery for more than eight days, and says what he’s now experiencing is his fifth second chance at life.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Heidi Thomas Adapting GIGI Book for Broadway

According to the Stage, Heidi Thomas is hard at work writing a revised book for an upcoming Broadway production of GIGI. The Upstairs Downstairs writer told the Stage: ‘It was the best adaptation project I have been offered this year. I do love musical theatre – I have always loved it as a punter and always longed to write one, but thought I would never be asked. I have just started work on the book and that is very exciting. I am immersing myself in the novels of Colette and of the period.’
Gigi is a musical with a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. It is based on the novella Gigi by Colette and 1958 hit musical film of the same name. The story concerns Gigi, a free-spirited teenaged girl living in Paris at the turn of the 20th century. She is being groomed as a courtesan in her family’s tradition. Before she is deemed ready for her social debut, she encounters the bon vivant bachelor Gaston Lachaille, whom she captivates as she is transformed into a charmingly poised young lady.

Manhattan Adult Entertainment: How Americans Have Reshaped Language

Possibly as a way of compensating for the vagaries and skimpiness of the available evidence, Bailey devotes much of his story to the languages English has shared America with. It is indeed surprising how tolerant early Americans were of linguistic diversity. In 1903 one University of Chicago scholar wrote proudly that his city was host to 125,000 speakers of Polish, 100,000 of Swedish, 90,000 of Czech, 50,000 of Norwegian, 35,000 of Dutch, and 20,000 of Danish.
What earlier Americans considered more dangerous to the social fabric than diversity were perceived abuses within English itself. Prosecutable hate speech in 17th-century Massachusetts included calling people “dogs,” “rogues” and even “queens” (though the last referred to prostitution); magistrates took serious umbrage at being labeled “poopes” (“dolts”). Only later did xenophobic attitudes toward other languages come to prevail, sometimes with startling result. In the early years of the 20th century, California laws against fellatio and cunnilingus were vacated on the grounds that since the words were absent from dictionaries, they were not English and thus violations of the requirement that statutes be written in English.

Manhattan Strip Clubs: SEASON SIX OF CNBC’S "AMERICAN GREED" PREMIERES ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25TH AT …

If you were a bold face name with lots of money, Kenneth Ira Starr wanted to manage it. Famous clients of the New York accountant include Sylvester Stallone, Uma Thurman, Carly Simon, and Wesley Snipes. But on September 10, 2010, Starr pleads guilty to one count each of wire fraud, money laundering, and investment adviser fraud. At his hearing, Starr admits, among other things, that he stole Starr & Co. clients’ money to use for his own purposes between 2009 and 2010.
Here’s how his scam works: Starr solicits money from clients to invest in “sure deals.” Instead, Starr diverts all or some of the money to his bank account or too risky investments that help him, his wife, or close associates.
When clients request their money, Starr pays them using newly-acquired funds. It’s a classic Ponzi scheme. Thanks to his ill-gotten gains, Starr’s third wife, Diane Passage -once a stripper and dancer at Scores- reinvents herself as a socialite and movie/music producer. According to the U.S. Attorney, the total loss associated with Starr’s fraud is between $20 million and $50 million. His sentence: 7 1/2 years in federal prison.

Manhattan Strip Clubs: NJ Adult Clubs Stripped of Right to Operate Where Unwanted

NJ Adult Clubs Stripped of Right to Operate Where Unwanted
Want to go to a strip club, New Jersey? You may have to cross state lines
You don’t want a strip club in your New Jersey town? No problem. The state Supreme Court says that you don’t have to. And anyone in your town who does not agree will be told to leave the state – for nudie nights. 
The decision was sparked by a controversy in the town of Sayreville, N.J. Residents wanted a nude juice bar shut down, and they got their wish.
The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that towns can restrict sexually-oriented businesses by arguing such establishments are available in New York and Pennsylvania, reports the Star-Ledger.
Thursday’s 5-1 decision was influenced by Sayreville’s argument that they had a right to close the melon-heavy juice bar under a state law that prohibits such businesses within 1,000 feet of homes and parks.
