Los Angeles Massage Parlors: Indicted Cop Allowed on ‘Dr. Phil’ Show
… He wants to make a plea to officers who are in the same type of trouble he was in, with physical disabilities and stress, not to let the macho atmosphere of police departments prevent them from getting help,” Cardoza said. “He will be able to reach a lot of people” on the daytime show, Cardoza said.
“A lot of wives of police officers will be watching and we hope they will have a chit-chat with their husbands in the evening. If he can reach just one person, he will feel good,” the defense attorney said.
Cardoza said the stress Wielsch was under at the time of the alleged crimes between 2009 and 2011 included neuropathic problems with his feet and anxiety over a daughter’s medical problems.
Wielsch and Butler are accused in the federal indictment of stealing and then reselling marijuana and methamphetamine seized by CNET, extorting payments from women in an illegal massage parlor they ran, and conducting phony sting operations in which they stole money and cellphones from prostitutes they identified from Internet advertisements. No trial date has been set.

Los Angeles Strip Clubs: Rafer Alston to join Lakers D-League team, the L.A. D-Fenders
The Lakers D-League affiliate has decided to end Alston’s time in purgatory, though, as they add to a roster that currently includes former draft picks Gerald Green, Mardy Collins, Orien Greene and Lakers’ assignee Derrick Caracter.
Alston’s last shot at the NBA came with the Miami Heat during the 2009-10 season and, after starting all 25 games played for the team, their relationship didn’t end amicably. Alston then returned to basketball in early 2011 with a trip to China, but after scheduling a trip home to attend a funeral, he was reportedly told not to return as the team didn’t feel they could trust him. Though Alston has been off the basketball court since last February, he’s still been making headlines: He was sued in August for a fight at a strip club that happened in July 2010 while attempting to redeem his image as head coach at Christian Life Center Academy in Houston, Tex.

The agency also plans on “re-emphasizing the adult entertainment industry prohibition by specifically prohibiting jobs with escort services, adult book/video stores, massage parlors, and strip clubs.”
Another change: Capping the number of hours a student could work at 40 – a move the agency predicted would be “by far the most controversial.”
“Almost all SWT employers expect their participants to work more than a 40-hour week,” Ereli wrote.
Critics say that’s one of the problems with the program: Students, like the ones in Pennsylvania, are often exploited – working long hours with no overtime and forced to live in substandard housing. The AP interviewed dozens of students across the country who complained about working conditions, many in resort areas in Florida, the Carolinas and Pennsylvania.

The AP also found that third-party brokers forced some women – mostly from Eastern European nations – to work in U.S. strip clubs.

Los Angeles Adult Entertainment: Bombay Beach and the allure of the ghost town
Ghost towns are the eyesores in our midst, socio-economic roadkill; either imperfectly bulldozed or left to rot in the sun. The dictionary defines them as “deserted settlements, especially in the western US”, which may explain their curious, symbiotic relationship with the American film industry. The birth of Hollywood, after all, coincided with the dying days of the wild west. It was a time in which Wyatt Earp worked as a studio script consultant and a collection of rusting former boom towns provided backdrops for anyone wanting to shoot a cowboy picture.
In the decades before it was thrown a lifeline by the tourist trade, the town of Lone Pine, California served as the base for over 250 westerns, including High Sierra and the peerless Bad Day at Black Rock, in which a one-armed Spencer Tracy confronts the locals of a misbegotten desert hamlet. Guadalupe, meanwhile, was a regular Hollywood destination until the 1940s, after which it became a hotbed of gambling, drugs and prostitution. And yet – lik …

Los Angeles Adult Entertainment: Cypress company sues Memorial business owner for demation
A Cypress-area commercial property company is suing after, it says, a Memorial business owner attempted to sully its good name over a cement wall.
Roalty Properties, of Cypress, and Michael Roa filed a lawsuit on Jan. 26 in Harris County District Court against George Edward Birnbaum, doing business as The Fireplace Man in Memorial, citing trespass, private nuisance and defamation.
The suit alleges in 2011, Birnbaum had a cement wall built, without a permit, between his business, located at 5818 S.W. Freeway, and Roalty’s property. According to the brief, the wall has created a hazard for drivers and has encroached on Roalty’s property.
The plaintiffs say when they complained about Birnbaum’s wall, he embarked on a smear campaign, spreading rumors that Roa ran a brothel and was involved in other illegal activity.

Los Angeles Adult Entertainment: Ask JT! I’ma Semi-Famous Closeted Actor. That’s Cool, Right?
We’ve long said it would be the best possible thing for the gay rights movement if every celebrity who was closeted were to come out. So here’s my plan.
We stop having sex with them until they do.
Come on, it’s genius! Seriously. I’m calling on every gay person out there. Let’s sign a pact. If we all agree as a movement to withhold our junk from every closeted actor’s drooling, quivering lips until they concede and live openly gay lives, I’d say it would be about a week before prime time television was bursting at the seams with openly gay cast members.
The closeted gays in Hollywood are only human. They have needs just like the rest of us. And sure, they can always find male prostitutes, which is why I’m also calling on you, O Hustlers of the Hills! Stand with us, friends.

Erik Martin, Reddit’s general manager, noted that the Reddit community often comes together to raise money, including more than $200,000 raised for Doctors Without Borders last year. A Haiti earthquake fundraiser raised more than $100,000. Reddit had 2 billion page views in December, he said, making it a top 50 U.S. website.
“The key is that this sort of story starts to develop and that is something people want to be a part of,” he said, adding later: “It took on a life of its own.”
The Faraja Children’s home sprang out of a one-room shack in Nairobi’s largest slum, Kibera, in 2006. That’s when Bosire’s youngest son brought home two playmates who never seemed to leave. Bosire’s newest arrival to her orphanage’s current location in Ngong, just outside Nairobi, is a cooing 13-month-old named Christine who was abandoned by her prostitute mother.

Los Angeles Strip Clubs: Backbeat: Van Halen Packs VIP-Loaded LA Club Show
HOLLYWOOD, California — Henson Studios is located just across the street from Crazy Girls. It’s hard to imagine a better place than the crossroads between Kermit the Frog and a Hollywood strip club for David Lee Roth to lead Van Halen through a hit-packed club show. With three giant video screens and a wall of EVH amplifiers loud enough for an arena, the newly recharged band were agile and full of smiles as they performed Wednesday in front of a few hundred VIPs deep inside Charlie Chaplin’s old stomping grounds.
…
Roth told the crowd that the event was originally conceived as a late morning press conference but was switched “to 8pm on a Wednesday, so we could drink.” Van Halen then played another new track, “She’s the Woman,” followed by “Dance the Night Away.” As the foursome erupted into one of their biggest hits from Roth’s era with the band, he as …
