Brad Pitt used to drive strippers to gigs for living
New York, Sat, 04 Feb 2012

New York, Feb 4 (ANI): Brad Pitt has revealed that his strangest job before he became a hotshot actor was to drive strippers to their gigs.
The 48-year-old actor made the revelation in an interview with James Lipton for talk show ‘Inside the Actors Studio’.
“I drove strippers, which was interesting,” the New York Post quoted the actor as saying on the show.
“It was an odd job. There’s a place called the Job Factory where people listed odd jobs they needed for a little while and you’d go and sign up.
“It said, ‘Drive strippers.’ I said, ‘I got a car.’ My job was to go to the place and get the assignment, then go to the girl’s apartment, pick her up, and drive her to the party,” he revealed.
The two had had bit parts in the 1969 comedy “If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium,” but it was in “Husbands” (1970), directed by Mr. Cassavetes, that they, along with Peter Falk, really made an impression as unhappily married men out for a drunken night on the town together. As Mr. Gazzara wrote in his autobiography, “In the Moment” (2004), the on-camera camaraderie was so convincing that people assumed the three men had been lifelong friends; in fact they had barely known one another when the filming began, though they became friends during it.
Mr. Gazzara’s most important role for Mr. Cassavetes was in “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie” (1976), in which he played a strip club owner in debt to the mob. “It’s a thoughtful, intelligent interpretation of a role that just may not have as much depth to it as he’s ready to give it,” Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote of Mr. Gazzara’s performance.
Nick: …And saying it. And saying it. And saying it…
To a guy standing on the sidewalk: “Oh you’re a male model, come on in.”
Nick: It’s important to note how casually this male model was standing on the sidewalk, and how out of his way the bouncer went to get him in the club. Do you think he recognized him from the J. Crew lookbook?
Puja: I personally loved his work for JC Penny’s Fall collection.
Nick: I haven’t seen it, but I’m sure it’s great.
“Let the girls through!” Nick: …And saying it. And Saying it. And saying it…
Spoken upon the arrival of the vehicle that brought the group from the first location: “It’s not even a party bus!”
Puja: “Where are the strippers? Why does it smell like Febreeze? THERE AREN’T ANY COOKIES!”
Monday February 6 marks the debut for the first of five original series Netflix is currently developing for their 23.5 million-strong subscriber base. Lilyhammer was produced in Norway and its recent debut there garnered the highest ratings ever for a Norwegian dramatic series.
The series stars Little Steven Van Zandt (The Sopranos, Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, Little Steven’s Underground Garage) as the main character, Frankie (The Fixer) Tagliano. Tagliano could be a distant cousin to the beloved but ruthless strip club owner and loyal consigliere Silvio Dante from The Sopranos. It’s great to see Van Zandt take a starring role in an episodic series — he, you should pardon the expression, kills it.
The story begins as Tagliano, a mobbed up New York bar owner, becomes a FBI informant and is sent away on the witness protection plan by his own request to Norway. Why Norway? Because he saw the lovely quiet town of Lillehammer on TV during the 1984 Olympics and it looked serene — and who in their right mind would expect to find him there, of all places.
At Indianapolis strip club, the dancers have Big Blue fever ‘No one knows how to party like New Yorkers’ says Brad’s Brass Flamingo staff By Matt Lysiak / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Thursday, February 2, 2012, 5:08 PM
…
INDIANAPOLIS –A Big Blue Super Bowl run was just the stimulus the exotic dancers of Indianapolis needed. “We were all rooting for the Giants to make it,” said Kendra Gill, a dancer at Brad’s Brass Flamingo. “No one knows how to party like New Yorkers. And everyone knows they are the best tippers.” Big Blue enthusiasm is hitting fever pitch at the club. When a group of Giants showed up Monday night, they were quickly surrounded by women. “It was amazing. So exciting,” said dancer Jaynay Council. “They know where the prettiest girls are and they …
But the group had another idea. They wanted to produce a band with a lead female singer. They wanted a woman who was Latin and seemed to be the real Roxanne. Then Lisa Martinez was found. She auditioned for Full Force in Brooklyn and was terrified when she first met them. They wrote a song for her that was supposed to be from the woman’s prospective. It was called, “I Wonder If I Take You Home” and was a hit for the group Full Force created for her, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam.
Full Force went on to sign with Columbia Record and immediately had the hit, “Alice.” They also created the Alice Sandwich dance move which had Paul lifting up a woman and one of his brothers on stage.
The group had everything going for it, including, in their own words, a stripper mentality; they dressed like rockers and hip hop singers, and had the right hair style, the jheri curl.

Feb 1 2012 5:51 PM EST 294 Machine Gun Kelly Vows To Break Tech N9ne Tour Rules ‘Rules were meant to be broken, Machine Gun Kelly was meant to break them,’ rebellious rapper tells MTV News of Hostile Takeover run. By Rob Markman
After pre-taping the cypher segments for BET’s Hip Hop Awards show last fall, Tech Nina and MGK went out and enjoyed New York City’s nightlife with a few famous friends. Now, Tech and MTV’s 2011 Hottest Breakthrough MC will embark on the Hostile Takeover 2012 Tour, beginning in March and making stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Las Vegas.
“Me and Tech went to one club that Rick Ross told us to come to and we couldn’t get in,” Kells revealed to MTV News on Monday. “French Montana was stuck outside. We were like f— this, so we all went to a strip club and met up with Waka Flocka.”

The final piece became the starting piece for yet another, longer read: Mr. Yang’s first, forthcoming book, which was bought by HarperCollins imprint Ecco Press in July.
“One of the things that’s amazing about the piece is its language,” Mr. Moss said, as he gave the audience a taste of its opening salvo.
“Let me summarize my feelings toward Asian values: Fuck filial piety. Fuck grade-grubbing. Fuck Ivy League mania. Fuck deference to authority. Fuck humility and hard work. Fuck harmonious relations. Fuck sacrificing for the future. Fuck earnest, striving, middle-class servility.”
Good luck getting language like that past editors at the Wall Street Journal!
Ms. Pressler’s Nieman Journalism Lab-lauded profile of Diane Passage, the ex-stripper wife of celebrity accountant and Ponzi schemer Kenneth Starr, came straight out of the tabloids.
At one point to begin his show, he merely mimicked himself on stage, not spitting one verse on the microphone, and just allowed the track to play. However, the crowd reacted to every word and movement, as if the rapper had just given you the hottest 16 bars of his life, it was actually amazing to see.
Once he started, you could tell he had genuine fans in the crowd. Every verse, complete with ad-libs, was guided by the jam-packed crowd. While the crowd remained “turnt-up” the entire show, the biggest records during his set were definitely when he performed “Riot,” “Spend It,” “Supa-Freak” and “Duffle Bag Boyz.”
The first two of the aforementioned records are off his latest mixtape, TRU REALigion, while the strip club anthem “Supa-Freak” can be found on Jeezy’s latest release, TM103. 2 Chainz’ performance of “Duffle Bag Boyz,” was the sign that his fans have been riding with him throughout his journey, as the record was followed as if it’d just been released.
