Detroit Strip Clubs: CMA Awards 2009: All the performances, as they happen
November 11, 2009 at 11:48 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsTaylor Swift, “Forever & Always.” Nashville is going straight to its A-list star, opening the show with pop music’s most popular living singer at the moment. She’ll have two songs tonight, and first up is “Forever & Always.” To sum it up: The 2009 CMA Awards are off and running with a train wreck. The energy and excitement of Swift’s MTV Video Music Awards performance, in which she was running through a subway, is completely lost. Beginning with a fake interview with Nancy O’Dell was cute, especially when Swift noted that “If guys don’t want me to write bad songs about them, they shouldn’t do bad things.” But turning her “Forever & Always” into a chair-throwing angsty performance, complete with a stripper – or fireman’s pole (depending on your level of innocence) — was ill-advised. She looked strained in trying to capture the anger of the song, awkwardly rolling on the floor and yanking at her hair. This is a D. But she has another performance in which to redeem herself.

Strip clubs may essentially turn into burlesque venues in Detroit very soon. This Friday, the City of Detroit will introduce a licensing ordinance that will ban the sale and consumption of alcohol in strip clubs, require dancers to wear pasties on their breasts and stay at least six feet away from patrons on a stage that stands at least 18 inches high and, finally, require dance rooms to measure at least 600 square feet.
The city council got some help from Scott Bergthold, a Tennessee attorney who is an expert at shutting down strip clubs. In addition, there will be a zoning ordinance that would require new strip clubs to be located in industrial districts and would require a 1,000-foot buffer between the club and schools, parks and churches.

Fox 2Attorney General Mike Cox
Attorney General Mike Cox is ready to talk about his 2003 investigation related to a rumored Kwame Kilpatrick party at the Manoogian Mansion in Detroit, and he wants the public to hear what he has to say.
Cox will be deposed next month in a civil suit filed against Kilpatrick and other city leaders by the family of slain stripper Tamara “Strawberry” Greene, who was rumored to have danced at the party a few months before her murder.
In that case, a state police investigator testified Cox impeded his investigation, and Cox, who is running for governor, is making every effort to clear his name.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Mich. AG to testify in slain stripper case
November 11, 2009 at 5:00 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsDETROIT, Nov. 11 (UPI) — The parents of a slain Detroit stripper will depose Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox as part of their lawsuit against the city, a judge says.
Chief U.S. District Judge Gerald Rosen said Tuesday Cox’s testimony in the deposition will be sealed indefinitely over Cox’s objections, The Detroit News reported.
The parents of Tamara Greene, who was killed in an unsolved 2003 drive-by shooting, say city officials hindered the investigation of her death because she had been hired in 2002 to dance at a long-rumored party held at the mayor’s mansion, where she was allegedly assaulted by the wife of then-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
The News said Cox investigated the party rumors and concluded they were “urban legends.” State police investigators have testified that Cox quashed their probe into whether the party ever happened.

DETROIT, MI
(Associated Press)
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox will be deposed by an attorney representing the family of a slain exotic dancer.
But Chief U.S. District Judge Gerald E. Rosen tells the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press that despite Mike Cox’s objection, his deposition on Dec. 11 in the case brought by Tamara Greene’s family will be sealed.
Greene’s family is suing the city, ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and other officials. Norman Yatooma, the family’s lawyer, claims they stifled a police investigation into her 2003 shooting death. The 27-year-old Greene is rumored to have danced at a never-proven wild party at the mayor’s official Manoogian Mansion residence a few months before she was killed.
Cox concluded the party was an “urban legend.”

Attorney General Mike Cox said last week he’d be happy to sit down for a deposition with the lawyer representing the family of Tamara “Strawberry” Greene, a stripper murdered in 2003 after she was rumored to have danced at a party hosted by then-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Looks like attorney Norman Yatooma will hold him to that.
The Detroit News reports Cox will be deposed next month by Yatooma, but a judge ruled yesterday the testimony will be sealed, for the time being.
Cox, who is running for governor, wanted the deposition unsealed and “in the open so that all the questions can be answered,” spokesman John Sellek told the Detroit Free Press.
