Porn Play Set To Open

Deep Throat, one of the most famous adult films ever produced is set to open in Boston this summer, and rumour has it Ron Jeremy, Richard Dreyfuss and Thora Birch are in talks to star in it.

Before you monkey spankers run out to join the ranks of those who support the arts via legitimate theatre, you should know that the play is not about a woman who has a clitoris in her windpipe, but rather about adult icon Harry Reems.

Deep Throat - The Play deals with the story of how Reems got involved with the film and the events leading up to him being prosecuted for his part in the film once it was released. Reems is thought to be the only adult actor to be prosecuted for appearing in a film, and the event caused enough of a stir that Johhny Carson, Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson helped pay for his defence.

Richard Dreyfuss has been linked to the part of Reems, while Thora Birch has been in talks to play the late Linda Lovelace, a cult figure in the world of 7o's porn. Other names being bandied about in relation to the production include The Sopranos' John Fiore, and porn legend Ron Jeremy as prosecutor Larry Parrish.

The play is set to open in Boston in June of this year, and will then move to New York in August where it will play at the World Theate, the very same theatre the original opened at all those years ago. It is still owned by the same proprietors.

Reems was actually involved in theatre himself when he started out as an actor, as were many of his contemporaries, and was excited when he learned of interest in producing a play of his life.

Whether the mainstream theatre going audience will be as excited (pardon the pun) over a play about porn reamins to be seen.

Some people might find it too much to swallow.

Spitzer's Swan Song

Disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned his post today, though he denies having met with a hooker known as 'kristen,' who the New York Times has revealed to be a 20-something aspiring singer that goes by the name Ashley Alexandra Dupre.

CNN reports that federal agents ascertained the Governor and former state Attorney General used the escort service at least 8 times in the past few months.

8 times! How freakin' stupid is this guy? Couldn't he bang chubby interns like Bill Clinton did? They even claim they had him under surveilance on two separate occasions this year.

His resignation takes effect on Monday, when Lt. Governor David Patterson will become the first African-American governor of New York, and perhaps the first legally blind governor in the nation's history.

Spitzer has not been charged yet, though there is talk that his stepping down will have no effect on whether he will be prosecuted or not. Yeah, we'll see.

So here's the thing...who does the state's former top lawyer get to defend him?

Spitzer? I Hardly Know Her!

The New York Times has reported that State Governor Eliot Spitzer, a man who made his name in politics as a no nonsense Attorney General, engaged the services of a prostitute through a service called Emperors Club VIP. The liason was said to have taken place in room 871 of the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. on February 13th of this year.

The story involves wire taps of his cell phone, the alias 'George Fox,' suspicious transactions reported by his bank, and a female known only as 'Kristen.' It should be noted that George Fox is a friend of Eliot Spiter's. When contacted for an interview, he told the press he had not accompanied the Governor to Washington on the dates in question, and was not aware the Governor registered using his name.

According to the paper, the agency allegedly referred to Spitzer simply as Client 9, though many people in the agency knew him as George, and a few were aware that he was the Governor of New York.

Spitzer held a press conference in which he stated “I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family and violates my or any sense of right or wrong.”

His wife, Silda, stood by him as he delivered his statement, to which he added “I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public to whom I promised better.”

Spitzer made no mention of his political career, and strode out of the room when a few reporters asked if he would be resigning. The Republican state party, true to political form, is calling for him to step down.

Ironically, Spitzer himself had gone after two prostitution rings while serving as Attorney General of New York...back when he was known as the State's Eliot Ness.

Perhaps the hookers in those particular services were not up to his liking.
