Prostitute
The A-lister admits to some not-so-upstanding behavior in his 20s.
Hollywood star Al Pacino traded sex for free board when he was living as a struggling actor in Sicily, Italy.
The Godfather actor spent some time in his family's native Sicily in 1960 after dropping out of school to pursue his big screen dreams.
He found himself struggling to make amends on his travels and decided to sell his body to keep a roof over his head, according to the New York Post's gossip columnist Cindy Adams.
However Pacino, 69, admits he often awoke to regret his decision. He says, "At 20, I lived in Sicily by selling the only … Read More
Male prostitution is entering the spotlight. But why?
Hookers, lady hookers, have been getting plenty of media obsession run since… ever. But particularly since a young, firebrand governor in need of some comeuppance (and companionship) was caught spending bootloads of the family fortune on a particular female escort (oh that's right, his name is Eliot Spitzer and hers, Ashley Dupre).
Since then, we've (the media, I guess I'm one of those weasels) had all sorts of love for hos (sorry, Snoop). In addition to covering anything and everything money-for-sex-related, we (rather Showtime) delved deep into the world of hump-hump for ching-ching with Secret Diary Of A … Read More
An online virginity auction leads to tax problem & going to jail for buying your son a hooker.
For some reason, there has been a ton of virginity talk in the news lately. First, there was that girl (Natalie Dylan) who auctioned her honor to a Nevada brothel to pay for her education. (Why is it that we don't believe strippers when they say the same thing?) Then an Italian model (Rafella Fico) tried pulling the same stunt. Then NBA star Marko Jaric eloped with model Adriana Lima ostensibly to stop getting boxed out and score (like when that nice Nick Lachey decided to purchased the cow marry Jessica Simpson).
Well, the hits keep … Read More
Swiss Gigolo Helg Sgarbi bilked European women for millions.
Not sure if you saw this story earlier this but the Huffington Post (really worth checking out the details there) is reporting that a fraud story even more sensational than Bernie Madoff has come to a head this week.
What can possibly be more sensational than ripping off 50 billion greenbacks*? Um, how about BMWs? And gigolos? And sex tapes? And possibly Nazis? Sounds like a job for Jason Statham, right? Nah, brah. A 'Swiss Gigolo' has been traipsing around Europe, swindling money from rich broads at every turn. The gigolo in question is a … Read More
Second Life prostitution allows users to make real money while living the dream.
Some girls dream of growing up to be president. Others want to be fairy princesses or law clerks. But for nearly half her life, 26-year-old "Palela Alderson" has wanted to be a prostitute.
"As a teenager [in Italy] I would watch these sexy women walking the streets," she tells Green Pixels, "waiting for the cars to stop, teasing the guys, and then hopping in and getting out sometime later. I'm not sure why I find it such a turn-on. I think it's because when a man will pay to have you, you know he really desires you."
In time, … Read More
A Daily Beast scribe writes about the rich "sugar daddy" footing her bills.
Hoo boy. The Daily Beast is surely getting a lot of web traffic mileage out of this one:
If you haven't read it already, check out their personal essay, "My Sugar Daddy," written by a college student under the pseudonym 'Melissa Beech.'
Young 'Melissa' is a senior in Philadelphia who spent more than she earned waiting tables, which she found "exhausting."
But then on a job interview with a communications professional, the man offered her a unique proposition: not to work in an office, but to sleep with him in exchange for gifts and money. He offered to … Read More
Divorce sought after husband cheats on wife in Second Life with avatar mistress.
Affairs used to involve off-the-beaten-path motels, lunch hour and lipstick-stained collars. Private eyes in trench coats would usually be the catalyst for the secret trysts' demise.
These days, cheating can happen with a credit card, one's own hand or even an online alter ego or "avatar."
A British woman recently filed for divorce after she found her husband's avatar cheating on her alter ego in the virtual reality computer game Second Life. The Guardian quoted the man as as saying "We weren't even having cyber sex or anything like that we were just chatting and hanging out together."
His … Read More
During hard economic times, some guys just want to cuddle.
You don't have to be former Gov. Eliot Spitzer's $1,000-a-night "friend" Ashley Dupre to be fretful of how Wall Street's plummet is effecting one sector of working girls: Slate.com wonders "What the Financial Crisis Means For High End Prostitutes?"
But what author Sudhir Venkatesh (who wrote the memoir, Gang Leader For a Day, which I'm told is incredible) discovered about high-end sex workers in hard economic times may surprise you: many pink-slipped former captains of industry (also known as Big Swinging D*cks) don't want sex; they just need the proverbial shoulder to cry on. Comfort, not … Read More
"It’s a bad time to be an high-paid/over-paid prostitute in New York."
Interesting post on Debauchette today, about how the economic downturn, has affected high-class call girls. With wealthy investment bankers and other Wall-Streeters losing their jobs, expensive companions may have fewer clients and less money.
Debauchette, you might remember, is the courtesan (she prefers the term "whoretesan," heehee) and blogger, who came to national attention when Diane Sawyer interviewed her earlier this year in the wake of the Eliot Spitzer scandal. Yesterday she wrote that three of her clients have called this week to make sure she's financially solvent. In case you're wondering … Read More
