New York Adult Entertainment: Strawberry takes a swing at ‘Apprentice’

Strawberry takes a swing at ‘Apprentice’

Published: March 10, 2010
One of baseball’s greatest sluggers, Darryl Strawberry, spent some of his darkest days in Tampa. This is the place where his life crashed and his career ended.
After 17 years in baseball, his last stop was with the New York Yankees. He helped them win the 1998 World Series.
But colon cancer, drug abuse and fast living caught up with him. A series of embarrassing arrests here between 1999 and 2002 – for cocaine possession, soliciting for prostitution and violating probation – tarnished the image of the once cocky hitter for the New York Mets who was a hero in the 1980s.
It is an older, wiser, sober, born-again Christian Strawberry who will be back in the spotlight Sunday night on NBC as one of the contenders on Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”

New York Strip Clubs: Kissing in Public Gets You Nothing but Trouble

… Two other people who can’t kiss without making waves are Elin and Tiger Woods. According to Radar Online, the pair were caught kissing yesterday near their home in Florida.

New York Strip Clubs: Strip House

William Grimes, in a review for The New York Times that year, wrote that Strip House wasn’t so much a steakhouse as “a catalog of hip references to the idea of a steakhouse.” He awarded the restaurant one star.
Now it deserves two. Age has given David Rockwell’s design for the room a kind of gravitas, and with it the restaurant has gained some of the clubby appeal you used to be able to find at places like Gino, on Lexington Avenue, which has a similar layout, or in the bar room at “21.” (As at “21,” there is great fun to be had in snooping about the place. In addition to portraits of Viennese strippers, torch singers and ancient celebrities on the walls, there is a signed portrait of Thurgood Marshall near the bar.)

New York Adult Entertainment: Gang slang over the top in Brooklyn’s Finest

Tango (Cheadle) goes through a journey that seems to be most compromising with his beliefs. He yearns to gain a well-deserved promotion that will earn him a possible chance to be with his wife, yet he doesn’t want to betray Caz (Wesley Snipes), who he befriended after Caz saved his life. Try as he may, the situation goes beyond his control and the only explanation that is offered comes in the form of more mob lingo from Ellen Barkin’s character that will likely be over the heads of half of the theatre-going population. I was concerned at this lack of understanding because the vocabulary was limited, to say the least. There was so much noise most of the time that half of the words were lost anyway.
Nevertheless, the obvious drama held my attention closely. Eddie (Gere) plays a retiring cop that had obviously failed at doing anything significant with his life. When you fall in love with a prostitute that you’ve …

New York Adult Entertainment: NY Archbishop Dolan hits scandal-scarred Capitol

NY Archbishop Dolan hits scandal-scarred Capitol
Associated Press – March 9, 2010 6:45 PM ET
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – On his first trip to the state’s scandal-scarred Capitol, New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan had a message that government isn’t the savior for society’s ills.
Dolan says the scandals show people must look for answers spiritually, not through government.
It’s the first visit to Albany by a New York archbishop in 12 months, almost to the day when Dolan’s predecessor, Cardinal Edward Egan, was to meet with then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer. That meeting was canceled when Spitzer was named in a prostitution investigation that soon forced his resignation.
Now Gov. David Paterson faces two scandals that threaten his job.
He is being investigated for contact with a woman who had accused a top aide of domestic violence and of breaking a state gift ban.
