Miley: A bad influence?
Uh-oh, Mickey Mouse: Seems your Disney-manufactured star Miley Cyrus is losing love among her primary demographic.
The 16-year-old Cyrus received 42% of votes in the “worst celebrity influences of the year” poll for AOL’s JSYK.com (Just So You Know) Web site, which is aimed at 9- to 15-year olds.
The “Hannah Montana” star — who did work a stripper pole at Nickelodeon’s Teen Choice Awards earlier this year — bumped “Womanizer” Britney Spears and the Taylor Swift mic-snatching rapper Kanye West into second and third places, respectively.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Man tells feds: I bribed Kilpatrick
October 29, 2009 at 6:48 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsAmong the claims Orecchio made to investigators was that he paid $10,000 to the Kilpatrick Civic Fund to help win the mayor’s support for a $20-million deal between his company, AA Capital Partners, and one of the city’s pension funds.
Orecchio said that when he later made a presentation to the fund, it appeared the board was going to vote against AA Capital’s deal, until Kilpatrick appeared personally in 2005 and urged board approval.
The board approved the investment that December, but the money was never invested.
Kilpatrick attorney Jim Thomas said Wednesday his client “flatly and unequivocally” denies any wrongdoing.
Orecchio also told investigators that he contributed tens of thousands of dollars — much of it through surrogates — to keep McPhail, who was then a Detroit city councilwoman, from opposing a deal involving a strip club he was buying and to win her support as a trustee on the city’s police and fire pension board.
