Detroit Adult Entertainment: Peter Chianca: Jay-OK! Meet the new Leno
January 27, 2010 at 7:37 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsIn contrast, nine out of 10 respondents gave Conan O’Brien, the man Leno displaced, a 98 percent or higher approval rating, which puts him on par with Jimmy Stewart, Mother Teresa and the Ninja Baby from YouTube. This is despite the fact that only two out of those 10 respondents ever watched his show.
So in order to get back in the good graces of the viewing public, it is our opinion that Jay should immediately undertake the following eight reparative actions:
1) On his first show back at 11:30, he should ask himself, “What the hell were you thinking?” For best results, he should first make sure to first get caught picking up a prostitute, and also, possibly, poisoning the water supply of a local preschool. Both of these would be an improvement on his current image.

…
The president of an international strip club enterprise was the first to testify in federal court Wednesday. He said that Riddle so brazenly solicited a $25,000 bribe from him to help one of his adult entertainment clubs in Detroit, that he thought he was wearing a wire tap.

During that meeting, Riddle told him and his partner Joe Hall that he worked with Conyers and that they could have her vote to transfer a topless bar license to a club on Congress for $25,000.
…

Women, children hide in closet, tub as front door is kicked in; suspects pose as federal agents.
ROYAL OAK — At least two men armed with handguns kicked in the door of a Dorchester Avenue house after following a woman home from her job at a gentleman’s club in Detroit, police said.
The victim, 27, reportedly was suspicious of two cars taking the same route as her about 3 a.m. Sunday. She ran into her house, locked the door, and called police when she saw two men walk toward her bungalow.
The victim, a greeter at Cheetah’s, took her children ages 5 and 7, into a bedroom closet; the roommate, 19, hid in the bathtub.
They stayed out of sight while at least two men broke into the house in the 600 block of Dorchester.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Sam Riddle’s federal bribery case in Detroit continues to shock
January 27, 2010 at 6:37 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsBack in the fall of 2006, two officers with Déjà vu Consulting, owner of a topless bar seeking to transfer the establishment’s lucrative business license into the city, allege that Riddle met with them at a Dearborn restaurant to explain how the city’s new strip-club license transfer system worked. This is how Jim St. John, president of Déjà vu Consulting, described the proposition — under oath is U.S. District Court — earlier today:
“Here’s a guy asking me for $25,000 and he’s wearing a gravy-stained tracksuit,” Hall said. “It was like something out of a bad movie.”
The week following that meeting, the Detroit City Council voted 5-4 against the topless bar license transfer — with Conyers, wife of long-time U.S. Rep. John Conyers, casting the deciding vote against the transfer.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Riddle trial witness says Conyers pushed for pension fund loan
January 27, 2010 at 5:00 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No Comments… Conyers believed Kilpatrick “controlled” three votes on the 10-member pension board — those of Beasley, former mayoral aide DeDan Milton, himself recently indicted in connection with alleged kickbacks on city real estate deals; and the Rev. Wendell Anthony, who is president of the Detroit branch of the NAACP and was appointed by the mayor as a citizen representative.
The trial resumes today with testimony from Detroit businessman Christopher Jackson and others connected with a request that was before the Detroit City Council to transfer a DéjÀ Vu strip joint license.
Riddle is accused of using Conyers’ power to try to shake down the strip club owners for $25,000. It’s another deal where those paying Riddle didn’t get the City Council action they wanted. The strip club owners are suing the city in federal court over the denial of the license transfer.
Detroit Adult Entertainment: Windsor police raid body rub parlour on Gladstone Ave.

It also offered a special âcouples sectionâ that advertised services for couples for between $200 and $500 for a â90-minute pleasure package for two.â
âThen in fine print it said âa light snack of cheese, salad and a fruit platter will be served with a nice glass of wine,ââ said jean.
He said officers also uncovered information that suggests there may be similar establishments in other neighbourhoods. He invited anyone who may notice suspicious activity on their block to call police or Crime Stoppers.
A neighbour, who did not wish to be identified, said she wondered whether it was drugs or prostitution when the police arrived and was not surprised at the arrests.

Detroit Adult Entertainment: Barney Frank and the Alien Defense
January 27, 2010 at 2:49 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsHe will be presenting his idea to the Royal Society, the UK’s National Academy of Science, to urge scientists to take their heads out of the clouds and stick them in the ground. Alien evidence is more likely to appear in deserts, volcano hangouts, salt-saturated lakes, or Antarctica, than in the stars, he says. In other words, “places where ordinary life struggles to survive.”
He has it all wrong. If evidence of extra-terrestrials can only be found where ordinary life can’t survive, forget Antarctica, go to Washington. In fact, I’d start with the House of Representatives, specifically 2252 Rayburn, the office of Rep. Barney Frank.
Here’s what you need to know about Frank. If there is an alien life form on this planet, he’s it. Or knows it or talks with it or possibly dated it. Frank isn’t all bad. He enjoys long walks on the beach, dancing in the rain, running male prostitution out of his apartment, and he absolutely adores two fun-loving mortgage providing youngsters called Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Like Papa Bear to two Baby “Housing Market Collapsing” Bears.
