New York Adult Entertainment: Residents’ war with the city over a neighborhood homeless shelter …

A lawsuit is being planned and could be filed in the near future. But it shouldn’t take a court order to make City Hall use common sense.
Statistics show that nearly 60% of all homeless men are in Manhattan, and many are mentally ill – yet the city remains determined to close the intake center on E. 30th St. next to Bellevue Hospital to make room for a luxury hotel.
The estimated 20,000 homeless men who seek shelter in New York annually will instead be diverted to the notorious Bedford-Atlantic Armory in Crown Heights, across the street from brownstones, churches and hundreds of seething homeowners.
The armory, among the worst-run in the city, is not close to any hospital. It’s also a known haven for drug dealing, prostitution and crowds of men who congregate in front of the shelter every day, trying to flag down passing trucks for work as day laborers.

New York Adult Entertainment: Is It Time To Re-Think Your Cyber Connections? – CNBC

And the blond, boyish pre-med student has been charged with yet another crime in which a prostitute who advertised on Craigslist was tied up and robbed at gunpoint. According to the Boston Globe: “The break cam e hours after police released new security camera photos showing the clean-cut, 6-foot-tall suspect strolling casually to and from the … crime scenes peering into his BlackBerry.”

We’ve all been on Craigslist. Maybe not for erotic services or massages or escorts—but those listings are just a column away from the used cars, the apartment sublets, the job postings. Yet suddenly people are looking upon the service—where moms list the cribs and bouncy seats their toddlers have outgrown and college students look for roommates—as a cross between a virtual brothel and a slaughterhouse. They are still mindful of the apparent S&M frenzy murder of New York WABC radio anchor George Weber by a “Craigslist teen” in March.

New York Adult Entertainment: Louis Vuitton: Street Butterflies, Chic Boys

Staged in Centre 104, the elegant new north Paris art foundation and former morgue of the city of Paris thats become a hot catwalk destination, the show featured a black tar runway that staff brushed carefully before the first sounds of Lou Reed crooning Take a Walk on the Wild Side kicked off the show.
Ironically, the best looks had only a tenuous connection with delivery boys, like a brilliantly cut leather trench or a sleek calfskin biker jacket, done double face, a technique more common in womens haute couture.
Helbers, with Vuittons creative director Marc Jacobs standing and applauding beside him, took his bow to throaty cheers and much clapping, few more enthusiastic that the member of the Black Eyed Peas, who sat front row.
Dont you like my look, thrilled singer Fergie, as she pirouetted before paparazzi, looking resplendent in all-black outfit from Vuittons Pigalle prostitute collection, and complimenting it well with her newly dyed black tresses. And, adding to the frock-n-roll moment, Fergies cohorts wore high tops designed by rapper Kanye West for Vuitton.

New York Escorts: ‘Dumb Enough to Believe That’

Monologue | Aired Wednesday night on CBS: Anybody here from South Carolina? Their governor down there, Mark Sanford disappears. He’s gone for four days. The first time he said he was hiking the Appalachian Trail. Okay, I’m just dumb enough to believe that. Then he says, “No, no, no, forget the Appalachian Trail. I was in South America.” Now, I’m not sure I’m with him. Today he said he woke up in Las Vegas, hung over with a tiger and a baby.
I have to be careful here. I haven’t had much luck with jokes about governors, so I have to be careful.
But now it turns out that he was in Argentina with another woman. A married guy, got a family, he’s in Argentina with another woman. And here’s what I want to know — why can’t he be like our former governor and use a local escort service? What’s the problem?

New York Escorts: Late-night hosts have field day with Mark Sanford

… I would never in my life have believed that Gov. Mark Sanford was capable of doing something interesting,” quipped Comedy Central’s Steven Colbert.
Sanford didn’t take the heat alone, as several comics turned their jokes on the Republican Party as a whole.
NBC “Tonight Show” host Conan O’Brien joked that “people were shocked because Republicans don’t traditionally do well with Hispanic women.”
But CBS “Late Show” host David Letterman tried to step gingerly in joking about Sanford after going through a weeklong fight with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin over a crude joke about the Republican’s daughter.
“I have to be careful here, I haven’t had much luck with jokes about governors” said Letterman, who couldn’t resist adding: “Why can’t he be like our governor and use a local escort service?”

New York Escorts: Analysis: Why do politicians cheat?

Analysis: Why do politicians cheat?
WASHINGTON (AP) – What is it with philandering politicians?
Why do men in power – the ones on pedestals – think they are above their constituents and can get away with cheating on their spouses, particularly these days amid intense media scrutiny and when peccadilloes are arguably more politically damaging than in the past?
There is a long list of those who thought they could jet off to a foreign country, check into a hotel under an assumed name or use an escort service and never get caught, never have to come clean.
The latest is South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who confessed publicly to having an affair with a woman in Argentina as he returned Wednesday from the South American country after a weeklong unexplained absence.

New York Escorts: Real Housewives of NJ — The Backstabbing Continues

The dishiest season of the Bravo show yet is spilling over with drama, as the new Us Weekly is reporting that former BFFs Jacqueline Laurita and Danielle Staub are no longer even civil to each other.
“I am not friends with Danielle,” Jacqueline told the mag.
The new mom (she gave birth to her third child, Nicholas, on June 11) says she’s keeping her former pal as far away as possible.
“She has never seen the baby, nor will I ever show her. I learned my family was right about her all along.”
You see, Jacqueline threw her sisters-in-law, Dina and Caroline Manzo, by telling Danielle that that Dina was the one who outed Dan’s shady past — and the rap sheet was nothing to sneeze at. Federal court records have surfaced detailing Danielle’s involvement in a kidnapping plot, a $24,000 cocaine ring and an “escort service.”

New York Escorts: NBC, CBS, And ABC Highlight Sanford’s GOP Label, Downplayed Label …

In the wake of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s admission to having an affair, evening and morning newscasts on NBC, CBS, and ABC all immediately identified him as a Republican. In contrast, in March of last year, the networks rarely identified disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer as a Democrat in the wake of his affair with a prostitute.
In a 2008 study of evening and morning network newscasts following the Spitzer scandal, NewsBusters’ Rich Noyes found that within the first week of news coverage Spitzer was only identified as a Democrat 20% of the time. However, within the first 24 hours of Sanford’s confession to having an affair, he was identified as a Republican 100% of the time, during coverage on all the networks.
On Wednesday, the NBC Nightly News, which failed to give Spitzer’s party affiliation for three days following his scandal, immediately focused on Sanford’s national role in the Republican Party as anchor Brian Williams declared: “In a Republican Party hungry for young stars …
