Las Vegas Strip Club Bust Results in 13 Arrests

Monday, July 27th, 2009

A major bust at a local adult strip club has resulted in 13 dancers being arrested for soliciting prostitution. Police allege the dancers were doing much more than dancing.

Metro made the arrests early Monday morning. Police say busts like this, are not uncommon, but the number of arrests is what makes this one stand out.

“It’s a pretty substantial. I don’t know how many particular entertainers were working in that establishment that night but 13 is a lot of folks,” said Lieutenant Karen Hughes, Metro.

All of the female dancers were arrested for soliciting prostitution. Police say it is now up to them to post bail or wait 48 hours to make a court appearance and be released.

Hughes works with Metro’s vice squad, and would not go into detail about how the arrests were made, but says this is part of her team’s job.

“They’re out there every night, working street operations, hotel operations, book stores, anywhere where people that come to Las Vegas are going to go to find something that’s just off the radar.”

Right now, Metro says Deja Vu management is not facing any charges.

“They will check to make sure there are not any key employees who are involved in those acts, because if that’s the case, then the license will be in jeopardy.”

Deja Vu’s General Manager Bob Proden says this is the first time a bust of this size has happened in the club’s 15 year history. He says the club has received dance code violations in the past but those were eventually dropped.

Berkeley County OKs new strip club restriction

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Berkeley County has reinstated limits on where exotic entertainment venues such as strip clubs can be located.

An ordinance that went into effect Monday prohibits new exotic entertainment venues from locating within 2,000 feet of a house of worship, school, public recreation area, lodging
businesses and primarily residential areas. Such businesses also are barred from locating within 2,000 feet of another adult business.

The ordinance adopted last week by the County Commission replaces one that Circuit Judge Christopher Wilkes struck down in 2008 because the county doesn’t have zoning.

A state law approved this year helps counties without zoning limit strip club locations.

Heidi Montag to Strip for 25,000

Heidi Montag to Strip for 25,000
The offers just keep rolling in for The Hills star Heidi Montag: first it was a difficult time in the jungle for I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here which saw her emotions stripped bare, then a deal to strip her clothes to appear in Playboy and now NYC strip club Scores, recently relaunched as a “night club” has offered Mrs. Pratt the opportunity to strip onstage for five nights for $25,000.

“Since Montag recently agreed to pose for Playboy, SCORES figured the publicity-hungry starlet would jump at the opportunity to be center stage at one of New York’s most entertaining nightclubs,” the club says in a press release. Her hubby Spencer Pratt will get a front row seat as well to witness her show, if she chooses to accept the offer.

The club issued a letter to Heidi with their generous offer, via their general manager, Ed Norwick:

“Dear Mrs. Heidi Pratt,

As the nation watched you and your husband brave the jungle on “’’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here’ and continue to brave the ups and downs of ‘The Hills’ and Lauren Conrad, we would like to take this time to present you with an opportunity that will allow you to be center stage—and have a lot of fun while doing so,” the letter reads.

After tooting their own strip club horn, the club adds, “As we took note that you will be posing in Playboy soon, we thought you may be interested in dabbling in yet another adventure that will most definitely expose your softer side.

As we recently re-opened after a short hiatus, SCORES would be honored to have you dance at our club on the main stage each night for five days, upon which, we will offer you a fee of $25,000.

Best,
Ed Norwick”

Your move, Heidi.

Go-Go Joint is gone-gone

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Oct 25, 2006

Vargas, who owns Lenny’s Deli on Triangle Street, recently bought the Go-Go property from Vincent Mavilia and plans to sign an agreement with the city not to have topless entertainment, although zoning allows it.
On Tuesday, Vargas met with the Unified Neighborhood Inspection Team at the former club to give an overview of her plans for the 1,200-square-foot building.
She plans to remove the circular bar, which still has full bottles of beer and half-full bottles of hard liquor, and renovate the interior to include a small stage for live music.
Vargas doesn’t plan to serve a full menu of food but will serve appetizers, liquor and other beverages. She also plans to add a patio and a plasma television.
“I want to bring in a mariachi band and maybe some jazz,” Vargas said.
City officials have received complaints for at least two years about the Go-Go Joint, which was previously known as Bada Bing and Wiggles.

In March, a judge ordered Mavilia to install a video surveillance system so police could monitor activity inside the Shelter Rock Road strip club.
Judge Douglas Mintz required the cameras about a year after local police and personnel from the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney shut down the club under the state’s nuisance abatement law.
Police arrested six women in August 2005 who were charged with prostitution for offering to have sex with undercover officers for money.
Another dancer was charged with prostitution in February after asking an undercover officer for money in exchange for sex.
According to the city, Mavilia never installed the cameras. He put the building up for sale.
A sign outside the building says the property is for sale for $375,000, cash only. Vargas would not say whether she paid cash.
“You are doing us a favor. This is a very positive thing for the city,” Rich Antous, a member of the city’s Unified Neighborhood Inspection Team, told Vargas on Tuesday.
City officials plan to help Vargas get the necessary permits to get the new café up and running. Vargas said she hopes to have it open by December.
“I am just really pleased that we have been able to resolve this neighborhood issue, and I wish her the best of luck with her business,” Mayor Mark Boughton said Tuesday.

Strip clubs vow to fight Burl. City restrictions

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Attorney Daniel R. Aaronson said the ordinance is an attempt by the city to put the strip clubs out of business. He said the ordinance violates the First Amendment and will not stand up in court.
At a City Council meeting last night at which a vote was originally scheduled, Aaronson said the strip clubs will sue the city if the ordinance is approved.
“This is not a threat,” he said. “It is a fact. It is a promise … We will fight back.”
The council postponed the vote on the ordinance from last night until next month, but several council members voiced their support for it.
The ordinance was proposed by the Police Department. Detective Joseph Caruso last night explained to the council why the department believes the ordinance is necessary.
“There is more crime at sexually oriented businesses than any other business in Burlington City,” he said.
Caruso said police responded to 164 calls to one sexually oriented business in the past two years. He said those calls include sexual assault, aggravated assault, carjacking and robbery.
Caruso said police have cited many people for urinating in public outside the strip clubs, and have been called to one club after members of the Crips gang were spotted there.
He said an investigation of a go-go bar in August found evidence of prostitution, drug use and drug dealing. In another investigation in September, Caruso said two dancers solicited undercover police officers for sex. He said the dancers offered to have sex with the men in private dance rooms.
Lawyers for the two strip clubs in the city, Club Risque and the Playhouse, deny that strip clubs increase crime, and said they are prepared to fight the ordinance.
Aaronson, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was hired by both clubs. He told the council that strip clubs do not reduce the value of neighboring properties, and in some cases actually increase property values.
He denied that strip clubs cause blight or spread sexually transmitted diseases.
He said the city will spend at least $250,000 in legal fees to fight a lawsuit. He urged the council to table the ordinance and talk with the strip club owners to reach a compromise.

DisplayAds (‘Middle’);

The Playhouse hired a second attorney, Patricia Ronayne of Mount Laurel. Ronayne told the council that the Playhouse has been a part of Burlington City since 1988.
“They have not been a burden on this community,” she said. “They have not been a problem.”
She said the city does not have the right to tell the strip clubs how to decorate their businesses, such as restricting lighting or private booths.
“This is a fight we are confident we will win in Superior Court,” she said. “This is going to be struck down …”
“This ordinance violates the First Amendment. Nude dancing is a protected right, whether we like it or not.”
City attorney Anthony Val-enti changed some wording in the ordinance at last night’s meeting. Valenti recommended the city readvertise the ordinance before a final vote. The council scheduled that vote for its next meeting Nov. 9.
Several council members spoke in support of the ordinance. Councilman Edward Canivan said the city is not trying to put strip clubs out of business, but instead is asking them to “conduct their business out in the open.”
Canivan said the city must regain control of sexually oriented businesses. “We are here to provide a quality of life and safety for our residents,” he said.
Councilwoman Helen Hatala said she will vote in favor of the ordinance. “I feel that this ordinance is long overdue,” she said.
Some residents urged the council to approve the ordinance. One resident, a neighbor of a strip club, said she has seen people urinating outside the club and her grandchildren find used condoms on the ground.
There are six sexually oriented businesses in Burlington City, police have said.
The ordinance would require all of them to do away with private viewing rooms or dance rooms, and would permit police to inspect at any time during operating hours. The ordinance would require each business to obtain a city-issued license and pay an annual $1,000 fee.

Part 2
As Mistress Samantha pours the water over my shirt as I squirm and be her to stop she jsut laughed that bitch of a laugh she gets sometimes. She then pulls my waist band of the jeans out a little and pours some down the front and back of them, then she holds the front pockets out and puts the rest down them. by this time I am shivering from the cold. She said I see how hard your nipples are. And I reply, yes they feel like they are going they may pop from all the cold and hardness. That was the wrong thing to say as she reaches in to the car and comes back with nipple clamps.

I begged her.. “NO! Please don’t Mistress Samantha” “Please” NO, She just rolls back her head and laughed and said paybacks are hell.

I scream as she put them on my hard nipples. Not really sure if it was the pain or if it was all the excitement I was going thru. Even with all the cold and frozen feelings my cock was rock hard. She enjoyed herself watching my discomfort as she pulls and twist the clamps some. She then says you will catch cold in those wet things and she proceeds to rip my shirt off and throws it on the ground.

As she comes back around the corner of the car, I see the sissors in her hand, she then proceeds to cut whats left of my jeans off of me and throws them with the shirt. I am now cold and completely naked tied to the back of my Car. I am glad the lot is desserted and not too well lit. This was like no other high you could imagine… being completely submisive to her and she had total control of the whole day. It was just so amazing

After what seamed an eternity of time… whe stated working my cock and even sucked it some … taking me to the edge but NOT letting me cum… all of a sudden I saw lights and felt as though I ws going to faint… not knowing if this person coming closer was someone I would know…. it just kept coming towards us … my heart was racing with anticipation and worry of who it was.. I was completely at her mercy! and had no way out of this situation fast…

The car is closer and closer… my heart it just about to pound out of my chest… the light is shining bright on my totally naked body and I was tied up and no where to go…. As she gets out of the car… Mistress Samantha was so into it and cool about it.. It turned out to be a friend of hers.. she had text her the location and to show up… She finally got parked and turned them off … what a relief… she turned off the lights…

She gets out of the car and we never were introduced … it was ok, it was fun to not know her…. Mistress Samantha commanded her to have fun pulling my clamps and teasing my cock. Then without warning she rips the clamps off my nipples… the pain was like no other… so intenss… Damn that hurt!!

They take turns with the riding crop on my nipples and cock. Mistress Samnathas Bitch then helps her as they untie my hands. I guess they are tired of seeing my goosebumps all over my frozen body…

Mistress Samantha tells me to shut up and get into her car. As I start to reach for whats left of my cloths her girlfriend grabbed them, telling me not so fast there… I was not given permission to have them back…. Mistress Samantha said, Thats right!… for that mistake she tells her friend to just take them with her. OH SHIT!!!! is all I could muster up….I am now naked in her passenger seat, at her total and complete mercy as to where she takes me. She said I was lucky this time she needs to go home to her boy toy at home… she had left him tied to her bed….

She drives me back to my truck, that lot there was fairly busy and totally lit up….I only pray she pulls up to my truck so that my door is next to it and I can make a quick dash to my truck, since I am still totally naked… this is so humiliating. But of course Mistress Samantha thinks of everything and pulls up so I have to walk naked around her car to get to my trucks drivers door. She hold the key out the window as I come around. Just when I thought I made it without being seen she hits the panic button to draw attention to us but at least she let me get between the truck and car before she did it.

She saw the extra shirt in my truck and takes it and anything else I could cover up with, makins sue I will be driving home naked. Close to an hours drive away… she began to tell me .. you will think twice before you will embarrass me again.. My cock is so hard from all this and she tells me to jack off before getting back into the truck….. sure hope i get home before my wife’s meeting is over .. Mistress Samantha just laughed and said you better not speed through. will see you next time Bitch!!!!

Untill next time…

Strip-club owner’s trial starts Monday

By Adriana M. Chávez / El Paso Times
Posted: 06/13/2009 12:00:00 AM MDT

EL PASO — After five years of legal wrangling, a 66-year-old businesswoman is to stand trial Monday on charges that she prostituted dancers at her now-defunct El Paso strip club.
Jeannie Coutta is charged with promotion of prostitution and four counts of engaging in organized criminal activity.
Coutta and her business partner, Phyllis Woodall, were arrested in 2004 after a 14-month police investigation of their Naked Harem club at 6345 Alameda.
Police began the investigation because of allegations that minors were working as strippers at the club. This led to Coutta, Woodall and two of the club’s managers being charged in the prostitution case.
A jury in 2006 convicted Woodall, 52, of engaging in organized criminal activity and aggravated promotion of prostitution. She was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
In a 2005 court affidavit, police said two 15-year-old girls and a 17-year-old girl worked as a strippers at the club and were paid to perform sexual acts on customers in the club’s VIP rooms.
During Woodall’s trial, dancer Mari Snider, who worked at the club for six months in 2003, testified that Woodall said sex was not allowed in the club. But, Snider said, another dancer told her that sex for pay was allowed if dancers were willing.
A former El Paso County sheriff’s deputy, Ramon Alvarez, testified that he had frequented the club for years and paid for sex several times. He said he stopped going to the club after he learned of the police investigation. In
an interview last year, Coutta said she and Woodall were “set up” by employees who hired underage girls.
Jurors for Coutta’s trial were chosen Friday. Opening statements will begin at 7:30 a.m. Monday before District Judge David Guaderrama in 243rd District Court.
The two club managers arrested in the prostitution case, Maria Brooks, 53, and Sandra Zepeda, 44, are awaiting trial. Brooks’ trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 22. Zepeda’s trial date is still pending. Adriana M. Chávez may be reached at achavez@elpasotimes.com;

LAP-DANCE “CANARIES”

A lineup of loose-lipped lap dancers from what cops call a $20,000-a-night Midtown brothel has put the screws to their husband-and-wife bosses.

A Manhattan judge yesterday refused to toss the case against Louis and Betty Posner, former proprietors of the raided and padlocked Hot Lap Dance Club on West 38th Street — crediting, in part, accounts the much-more-than-strippers gave grand jurors.

“Big Lou,” or “Daddy,” as he was called at the club, must now face felony pimping and money-laundering charges — even though he had argued he had no idea prostitution was occurring at the club.

Meanwhile, his wife is still on the hook for charges of falsifying records, including listing the business in bank forms as “catering.”

Included in the ladies’ vivid testimony, according to new court papers:

* Louis Posner regularly booked himself as a customer in his own joint — with records indicating “no charge” or “comp.”

* He referred to condoms as “bubble gum” and made them available to the dancers.

* Posner often boasted that he had inside police sources — “contacts” who never came through in time for the July 2008 raid.

Canton Inn Shuts Down
By ELAINA ATHANS — WMDT 6/10/2009

A Gentlemen’s Club has closed its doors after the Department of Justice says prostitution was taking place inside.

“It’s no longer going to be the Canton Inn in Seaford as we know it,” said Representative David Short of Seaford.

Delaware’s Department of Justice says plenty of illegal activity happened behind closed doors.

“Undercover agents went in there and a dancer would come up to them and say ‘I will perform a sexual act on you in exchange for money,’” said Deputy Attorney General Philip Bangle.

The State says because of an undercover investigation the Canton Inn closed.

The gentlemen’s club was closed under Delaware’s Nuisance Abatement Law, which means that charges could either be brought forth or the owner could close the establishment. The Department of Justice says Owner David K. Lui chose to close its doors.

Bangle said, “This is an act we’ve been using over the last couple years to deal with properties that are havens for crime.”

The Club posed a threat to the public’s health, safety and welfare, according to the state. And Representative Daniel Short agrees.

He said, “A lot of citizens in the community didn’t want to see it there to begin with. It was close to a housing development across the street, there have been complaints of its existance.”

Lui could not be reached for comment. The State says the criminal charges against Lui have been dropped, but a civil lawsuit is now pending

Detroit Adult Clubs, Gentleman’s Clubs and Strip Clubs

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Detroit strip clubs have their own intrinsic Motown mojo and range from casual Detroit strip clubs to posh, cigar and brandy lounges and from just topless Detroit gentleman’s clubs to fully nude Detroit strip bars. A classic Detroit gentlemen’s club, Detroit’s Coliseum strip bar has a dress code (collared shirts, please), simply gorgeous half naked women, and prices to reflect its status as one of Detroit’s best gentleman’s clubs. For a hearty, no holds barred Detroit strip bar, downtown Detroit’s Bouzouki Club is an ideal club complete with beautiful dancers and fast drinks. Want to take it all off? Detroit’s Club Le Elegant spotlights fully nude strippers, but does not sell liquor—all those roving, admiring eyes just might lose control.

Booby Trap
141 W. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.366.9030

The Booby Trap is a small, casual strip club that has the feel of an old neighborhood pub, except at your Dad’s old watering hole there weren’t dozens of topless babes. Okay, maybe there were, but that doesn’t change the fact that if you’re looking for a more intimate strip club, with decent drinks and good looking women, then the Booby Trap is it.

Bouzouki Club
432 E. Lafayette, Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.964.5744

Located right in Downtown Detroit, Bouzouki Club is everything you could possibly want in a strip club. The dancers are gorgeous and very personable, the drinks arrive quick and there’s plenty of them, and the whole atmosphere of this strip club screams a good night out.

Centerfold Lounge
20222 John R St., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.892.7333

Centerfold Lounge is your typical Detroit strip club with a wide range of ladies to fit everyone’s taste ensuring a good time for all. Hey, a word to the cost conscious, the private dances here are about five bucks cheaper than at most strip clubs, just don’t skimp on the tip.

Chateau Vert Lounge
16550 Telegraph Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.532.2242

At best, Chateau Vert Lounge is hit or miss, and although they don’t have the typical slew of Barbies that most strip clubs offer, the girls are cute and friendly. However, this strip club is small making the private dances not so private. so, we guess if you’re doing the Detroit strip club tour, stop in; if you have limited time and budget, skip it.

Club Le Elegant
17040 Plymouth, Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.836.7562

In Detroit, as in most major cities, no clothes means no booze, a shame for fully nude strip clubs. However, at Club Le Elegant the prices aren’t bad and the girls are decent. You can always get your drink someplace else and stop by, but we prefer to kill two birds with one stone. Besides, other Detroit strip clubs are topless, it won’t overtax your imagination to picture the girls bottomless too.

Coliseum
11300 E. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.308.4116

The Coliseum is an above average gentleman’s club across the board, if a little pricey. It’s seriously state of the art, they have premium liquor, and the women are hot from the strippers right through to the service staff. It’s a casual strip club (the only dress code is a collared shirt) and even the bouncers are chill, a definite rarity at most strip clubs. Like we said though, bring extra cash, all this doesn’t come for free.

Cover Girls
10631 Whittier, Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.527.0700

You have to love a strip club with a free buffet and, if they’re still doing it, dollar pitchers on Sundays. Cover Girls has beautiful women, good drinks and your typical strip club atmosphere. Oh, and if you’re nearby on a Tuesday you have to drop in, Cover Girls host the best amateur night in the state.

Crazy Horse Detroit
8140 Michigan Ave., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.581.7400

What can you say about the Crazy Horse Detroit? Well, we can say plenty, but most of it probably wouldn’t be printed here. However, we will say that this adult club is top notch, with beautiful live nude dancers and reasonably priced booze and, hey, you have to love a gentleman’s club that opens early during baseball season.

Hard Body Cafe
7443 Michigan Ave., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.841.2225

The Hard Body Cafe Detroit is a no-frills adult club, meaning there’s no food to interfere with the live entertainment and consumption of libations. Come on, do you really go to strip clubs for the food? In case you’re stumped, the answer is no.

Hot Tamales
13109 W. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.863.3444

When you’re looking for strip clubs in Detroit, a huge red flag should go up when you contemplate Hot Tamales because nothing else will. Seriously, this strip club needs some major work. The drinks are okay, but if the best thing you can say about a strip club is that the drinks are okay, there is something wrong. We would liken this to an old strippers home, if there were such a thing.

La Chambre Lounge
14100 Telegraph, Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.537.5420

We have it on good authority that La Chambre Lounge is one of Detroit’s best strip clubs. An unpretentious adult club, La Chambre is kicked back, casual and always a good time. The ladies are decent, the liquor is cheaper than most clubs, and the pricing structure for cover charge and lap dances beats out any other gentleman’s clubs.

Platinum
14541 W. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.342.7944

Easily one of the best strip clubs in Detroit, Platinum has simply gorgeous women,almost all of them black, a sick DJ that helps them shake their natural assets, and a liquor selection that shames most other strip clubs. The atmosphere is totally kicked back, comfortable, and the service from the staff is impeccable.

Player’s Lounge
13710 E. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.371.6970

The Player’s Lounge redefines the term “gentleman’s club.” It’s a very upscale venue, serving fine cuisine, a well rounded wine list, a fine selection of cigars, and reasonably priced drinks. Oh, yeah, they also have some of Detroit’s hottest women dancing live for your viewing pleasure. Not a rowdy strip club by any stretch of the imagination, so leave your adolescent inner self at home.

Silk Stockings
15569 W. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.864.3838

Silk Stockings is among a handful of fully nude strip clubs in Detroit, which in layman’s terms means no booze. But, the women are fine and the pricing is comparable to other adult clubs and, hey, they’re fully nude. Drink someplace else.

Subi’s Place
12916 Northline, Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.283.2050

Subi’s Place has been catering to Detroit’s adult club needs since 1971, so you know with a running history like that it has to be good. Some of the hottest girls of any strip club we’ve seen and, oh what variety, it’s like being a kid in some adult candy store. The drinks flows freely and they also offer lunch and dinner, but we believe that after you see the ladies, food will be the last thing on your mind.

Toy Chest
18728 Ford Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.593.1645

We’d say that the Toy Chest is probably the most fun strip club in Detroit. You’re encouraged to let a little of you’re wild side out which separates the Toy Chest from most other gentleman’s clubs, we mean you still have to respect the rules of the road, as it were, but have fun, that’s what strip clubs are for. Also, the Toy Chest, has phenomenal women with some national stars rolling through when they’re in Detroit.

Trumpp’s
21413 W. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.592.1190

Seriously, you can feel like the Donald himself at Trumpp’s. This gentleman’s club is upscale and they really do accommodate your every need. Good drinks, covered. Fine dining, covered. Cigars, covered. Beautiful ladies, uncovered. Anyway that is the whole point of a strip club, getting taken care of while watching some hotties.

Tycoon’s
12210 E. Eight Mile Rd., Detroit, Michigan; Tel. 313.372.0660

Tycoon’s is a good place, but not in the upper echelon so far as Detroit strip clubs go. The drinks are good and the prices are right, but the entertainment could improve. If the cabbie takes you here, tell him to keep driving there are better adult clubs out there, find them.

Strip Club Owners Protest New Rules

Council Concerned New Rules Go Too Far

POSTED: Tuesday, June 16, 2009
UPDATED: 7:16 pm EDT June 17, 2009

DETROIT — Strip club owners and dancers showed up in downtown Detroit Wednesday to protest rule changes for strip clubs.

The new rules would put some distance between strippers and customers and ban alcohol consumption inside the clubs.

Detroit City Council took up the new rules during a meeting Wednesday afternoon.

Strip Club Owners Don’t Want New Rules

The city has about 30 topless bars. If the new rules are approved, topless dancers would remain six feet from the patrons and on a stage at all times. There would also be no lap dancing and no mingling in so-called VIP rooms.

The proposed changes follow a court battle in which a federal judge in 2007 struck down Detroit’s regulations on where strip clubs could open and ordered them rewritten.

The rule that concerned council members the most was no alcohol inside the strip clubs.

“The two just go hand and hand. It’s like a casino. Is anyone going to go to a casino that doesn’t serve alcohol? Is anyone going to go to a sports bar to watch the Red Wings or the Pistons and not want to have a beer? Come on,” said Ken Cockrel Jr., Detroit City Council President.

Club owners said the rule changes would put them out of business.

The council has been under intense pressure from church groups to crack down on the clubs. Thirty-one of them are now licensed to operate in the city and that is about 40 percent of the total for the entire state.

The city is already facing lawsuits for refusing to transfer some club licenses. Council member Sheila Cockrel fears more litigation. “I’m not voting for any of these because it’s constitutionally protected behavior even if I think it’s disgusting,” said Cockrel.

The new rules would also keep new strip clubs 1,000 feet away from schools, churches or other strip clubs.

Strip Club owners appeared happy after the meeting because it appears the council members think the new rules go too far, but the issue still has a long way to go before a final decision is made on the rules.

Tell us what you think about the new changes

Pam Anderson, Sam Ronson tricked into strip club promo? Told ya so!

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Samantha Ronson, Pamela Anderson and Shannen Doherty were horrified, simply horrified — according to Us Weekly — when they found out they’d been booked to open a New York strip club earlier this week.

They’d all signed on to attend the grand opening of Sapphire Gentleman’s Club in NYC. But OMG, they didn’t expect strippers.

Gosh, maybe they should have read The Dish Rag. Our item dated April 16 was headlined:

“Animal rights activist Pam Anderson to open NY strip club/steakhouse. Don’t tell PETA!”

We wrote: “Now Pam reportedly has been booked to appear at the opening of a gentlemen’s (read: strip) club-slash-steakhouse in NYC.

She and another apparently hard-up honey, “The Hills’ ” Audrina Patridge, will show up for the April 27 opening of a new gentlemen’s club named Sapphire New York, which Fox News says is part of Prime 333 Steakhouse on the Upper East Side.”

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

But Audrina musta have read The Dish Rag. Or her publicist did and then reread the fine print on the contract. She mysteriously didn’t show up.
