Remembering Betty Page

In case any one is confused and saw a message to this article that seemed to indicate Betty passed away Dec 18th, she passed on Dec 11th, 2008..the date in the heading for this post (corrected now) was a mistakenly included and is the date this article and clips were provided by AEBN.

Bettie Page (1923 – 2008 )

Last
week, fans everywhere mourned the loss of pinup queen, Bettie Page, who
passed away at the age of 85. Propelled to stardom when she posed for
Playboy as Miss January 1955, Page was one of the most photographed
pin-up girls of the 1950s. Her iconic image has endured a legacy unlike
any other, even after she stopped modeling in 1957 and turned to
religion.

As popular now as she was in her heyday, Page’s playful likeness has
come to grace everything from vintage erotica to playing card and
country albums. Most of her photographs, which sometimes played on
bondage themes, seem tame by contemporary standards, they were highly
controversial in their day, raising eyebrows and earning Page a
subpoena to appear before a senate committee on pornography though she
never did.

Famed strip club Scores calling it quits

Last dance looms for infamous NYC strip club.

The Associated Press 4:48 PM EST, December 11, 2008

http://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/ny-nyscores1212,0,6304296.story

For 17 years, the New York strip club Scores put a celebrity veneer on the sleaziest of businesses.

But after months of legal troubles, the flesh joint famous for its high-rolling clientele of sports stars and actors is getting new owners and a new name.

State officials last week gave conditional approval to a plan to transfer the original Scores on Manhattan’s east side to a group affiliated with one of the country’s biggest strip joints, the Sapphire Club in Las Vegas.

The transfer could take place as soon as Dec. 19.

Scores had been waging a losing battle to hold on to its liquor license after a prostitution bust at its sister club, Scores West, in 2007.

The police raid was the latest in a string of legal complications for the club’s owners, who had, for a brief time, built the Scores name into a national brand. The West Side version of the club closed in the spring.

Other spinoffs around the country shed the Scores name. The original club, which opened on East 60th Street in 1991, has been in jeopardy for several months.

On Dec. 3 the club’s partners made it official, agreeing to pay a $10,000 fine and surrender their liquor license by Dec. 19.

On the same day, new owners David Talla, Jeffrey Wasserman and Glen Bernardi received approval from the New York State Liquor Authority to take over the location.

“The state was taking our license. There wasn’t much we could do,” Elda Auerbach, a Scores publicist and company director, said Thursday.

She said she didn’t know yet when the club’s last day would be.

Lawyers for the club didn’t immediately return phone calls.

The new owners, who also recently took over the license of a club in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, haven’t yet announced their plans for the establishment. An attorney for the group, Terry Flynn, couldn’t immediately put The Associated Press in touch with its managers. A call to a managing partner at the Las Vegas club was not immediately returned.

Scores was probably New York’s best known strip club, thanks to a big-name guest list and regular promotion on the Howard Stern radio show. It was a gossip column staple, with the tabloids reporting on the comings and goings of celebs including Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe, Lindsay Lohan and Yankee Jason Giambi. As recently as this fall the club was parodied on Saturday Night Live.

Despite its success, Scores courted trouble from the start. In the early 1990s it was a hangout for mobsters, including Gambino crime family associates who collected tribute payments until an FBI investigation sent reputed boss John “Junior” Gotti to prison in 1999.

Its original owners, Michael Blutrich and Lyle Pfeffer, wore wires for the feds and entered the witness protection program, but are now serving 20-year prison terms in an unrelated fraud case.

In more recent years, some patrons sued claiming their credit cards had been overcharged by thousands of dollars. Two of its current owners, Harvey Osher and Richard Goldring, were indicted on tax charges in 2006. Goldring got five years probation. Osher was sentenced to four weekends in jail.

The police detectives who raided Scores West in January of 2007 arrested several dancers they claimed were performing sexual acts in private rooms. Most of the charges were later dropped, but the arrests formed the basis of the state’s attempt to bar the owners from serving alcohol.

Christie Hefner to Step Down as Playboy CEO

Christie Hefner to Step Down as Playboy CEO

Posted: 12/08/2008

CHICAGO - Christie Hefner has decided to step down from her position as Playboy’s chairman and CEO next month after 20 years at the helm of the adult-entertainment giant.

According to a company announcement issued this morning, Hefner
plans to remain as CEO until Jan. 31 and will keep her seat on the
board until a replacement is found. The company has appointed Jerome
Kern as an interim non-executive chairman.

Faced with ailing magazine circulation and falling stock, Playboy
announced a restructuring plan earlier this year designed to save $12
million in annual operating costs. The cutbacks included slashing 80
jobs from the payroll and phasing out the company’s DVD business to
focus on licensing and Internet ventures.

Hefner gave no specific reasons for her departure. She said only
that “just as this country is embracing change in the form of new
leadership, I have decided that now is the time to make changes in my
own life as well.”

Conde-Nast speculated that Hefner’s comments in an interview with CNBC hinted at a career in Washington.

“Like many Americans, I’ve been struck by the call to service that
was the hallmark of the campaign, and I was an early supporter of
Senator Obama, now President-Elect Obama, and I believe deeply in what
he wants to do for our country,” she told CNBC’s Larry Kudlow and Erin
Burnett. “I’ll be looking for ways in which I can serve to be helpful
in that regard.”

But in an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Hefner said she would remain in the WIndy City.

“[Husband] Billy and I don’t want to leave Chicago, so this is
going to be home,” she said. “Whatever I do is going to be done from
here. I think it’s going to be a mix. I think I’m going to find ways to
give back both in the nonprofit side and public service. But I also
have enjoyed the board work, the TV commentary and the speaking that
I’ve done. I really don’t plan to look for a CEO job. Been there, done
that.”

Hefner denied that her exit was related to the company’s financial
hardships. “Quite the opposite,” she said. “I wouldn’t be able to step
down if the company weren’t in such strong shape.”
