Rick's Cabaret New York all-female softball team

Rick's Cabaret New York has an all-female softball team that play in Central Park.
They challenge all-male teams, and last Sunday the opponents were the cast and crew of FOX New Channel's "Red Eye" Show captained by on-air host Greg Gutfeld.
As usual for a game with the Rick's Cabaret Girls, no one seems to know the final score. "We just play for fun," said Rick's Girl Marci. "We've been known to use our bodies to distract the guys, and it seems to work."
The best part of the game is always the post-game party at the popular midtown Rick's Cabaret club (50 West 33rd Street).
"No hard feelings if we win," said Rick's Girl Cathy. "At the party we girls all take off our clothes and dance for the guys, and nobody remembers anything about the game."
Rick's Cabaret is known as the club of choice for celebrities and pro athletes. Several players from The NY Yankees and the NY Mets can be frequently seen at Rick's Cabaret New York.

Capt. Janks' lawyer getting prank reimbursement calls

His client, known for similar capers, is having theft charges from 5 counties consolidated

By Robert H. Orenstein

OF THE MORNING CALL

July 19, 2009


You almost had to expect this.

The lawyer for Capt. Janks -- the one-time ''Howard Stern Show'' radio personality who gained notoriety for making bogus calls to news shows -- is getting crank calls seeking reimbursement for Janks' no-show performances.

''We are getting prank phone calls from Pittsburgh, Texas,'' said Thomas Carluccio, Janks' lawyer from Plymouth Meeting, Montgomery County, recounting where some of the calls originated.

Janks -- his real name is Thomas Cipriano -- from North Wales, Montgomery County, faces theft charges for getting paid in advance to appear at bars and restaurants. In each case, authorities say, the comedian promised promotional spots on Stern's show and a free satellite radio. But he never showed, according to police.

Meanwhile, charges from five Pennsylvania counties are being consolidated in Montgomery County Court.

''Where the evidence shows a pattern of a common planned design or a scheme that shows a criminal enterprise, the courts allow them to be brought together in one place,'' said Bradford Richman, an assistant district attorney prosecuting the cases. ''It would be a waste of judicial resources to try this in four or five different counties.''

After the media reported the first charges in Montgomery and Bucks counties this spring, other business owners contacted police to report their problems. That led to additional charges in Philadelphia, Berks and Chester counties, Richman said.

In all, Cipriano faces theft charges in 10 incidents where he generally received from $250 to $350 in advance, Richman said; nine businesses -- one paid for two performances -- gave Cipriano a total of about $3,700.

Charges in Schuylkill County were dropped this spring, Carluccio said, after Cipriano repaid the bar. Court records indicate charges were dropped.

At least two business owners in Delaware and New Jersey pressed charges. Richman said those cases cannot be tried in Pennsylvania.

Carluccio tried to settle the Pennsylvania cases out of court, saying criminal charges should be dropped because Cipriano broke a contract, which is a civil matter.

Richman disagreed: ''When you have this number of cases, there is just no way this is a civil matter.''

''If we can't resolve the issues, then we will go to trial,'' Carluccio said.

Carluccio, a longtime fan of Stern's show, said he has been representing Cipriano for free. He met Cipriano last year through a mutual friend, who said Cipriano needed help in an unrelated legal matter.

Carluccio said Cipriano was in drug rehabilitation in February, and Cipriano, 43, told Stern on the air that he was addicted to painkillers.

Cipriano spent 22 days in Montgomery County jail without bail after police filed the first charges. He was released May 14.

''At some point in time, his whole life crashed,'' Carluccio said.

Janks' supporters -- including a Stern cohort, comedian Artie Lange -- have been helping raise money to reimburse bars and restaurants, Carluccio said.

Lange raised $8,500 and has committed another $1,500 from benefit shows, Carluccio said. Lange could not be reached for comment, but he has discussed the benefits on Stern's show.

With the money, Cipriano has repaid seven bar and club owners a total of about $3,000, Carluccio said.

Another Lange benefit planned for Thursday in Delaware County was postponed, Carluccio said, adding he never expected the magnitude of Cipriano's problems.

''I had no idea,'' he said, ''it would develop the way it has.''

Howard Stern's Desperate Belief In The Concept of Greatness by Association -- Love Me Daddy!

by I. Humphrey

IgnatsHumphrey@aol.com

We're all familiar with the phrases, birds of a feather flock together, misery loves company, and guilt by association. Usually these sayings are wielded like a bludgeon by curmudgeonly old ladies bent on proving how worthless we are. Examples: First -- You come home to your crib after hanging out with some putos at the neighborhood bodega, and the second you open the front door your mamasita smacks you upside da head with a plantain while screaming "birds of a feather flock together." Next -- The Mets loose to the Yankees at Citi Field, and the following morning you wake up in a sports bar with your boxers on your head, a sticky face, and underneath three hairy gay guys wearing Mets uniforms -- misery loves company. Last -- You wonder into a brothel to get change for the parking meter, and while the fat Korean hookers are giving happy endings to their Johns the cops come in and bust you for solicitation -- guilt by association.

It's a cruel world, and I'm here to tell you that I've personally experienced the three examples mentioned above. For these reasons, and based upon my background, I'm very sensitive to these three phrases. Especially, guilt by association. As Stern fans, we've all heard the infamous, childhood abuse tapes of Howard's father, Ben Stern, berating his cherubic 7-year-old son to stop acting stupid, and to not be a moron. Obviously, Ben's great expectations for Howard to be a miniature Walter Cronkite were hopelessly insane.

Howard dealt with his feelings of rejection, worthlessness, and inadequacy stemming from being a disappointment to his father by pretending it didn't matter, and treating it like a joke. But as any shrink worth 50-minutes of one's time and a $25 co-pay can attest, jokes often hide the truth. Howard Stern's tapes of parental abuse are more damning than the Nixon Watergate Tapes. They are the key, the Rosetta Stone if you will into Howard's psyche. This is why as an altercocker with a father who has one foot in the grave, Howard is desperate to portray himself not as a 55-year old pitiful man unable to let go of his adolescent antics, but as a man of substance. It's a classic case of Love Me Daddy.

Oh yeah sure Ben Stern has recently adopted the habit of ending his on-air phone calls with the words, "I love you, Howard." But his words are said jokingly, without sincerity, and with the haste of a departing cheating spouse anxious to rendezvous with their lover. Or in Ben Stern's case, a hot date with a Seinfeld episode, or a CNN anchorman. In short, with people Ben Stern admires, and wishes he could call son.

Now, obviously Howard can't turn back the clock and pursue a career as a politician or television anchorman. True, Howard once made a half-hearted run for Governor of New York. But, when a candidate has an entourage that includes a dildo-waving Kenneth Keith Kallenbach, he can't be taken seriously. So what can a megalomaniac like Howard Stern do to redefine himself into someone his parents can be proud of? Answer, realistically, not much.

However, let's not forget we're not dealing with just anyone -- we're dealing with the Titan of Talk, The Sultan of Spin, we're dealing with the self-titled King of All Media -- Howard Stern. So what does Howard do? -- He takes the phrase guilt by association, and transforms it, abracadabra, into Great By Association. Bravo! Howard gives money to charities like The North Shore Animal League or rescues a bird, and presto-chango he's an animal lover. With his former wife Alison, Howard created a charitable foundation, and voilà he's a philanthropist. After 9-11 Howard gave his listener's money to benefit families and victims of the World Trade Center attack, and shazam, he's a patriot. Of course the next day he's back at work trying to cajole someone's daughter into taking a ride to paradise aboard the Sybian machine, or enticing Sal Governale to cum on Richard's back. So much for getting his father, Ben Stern to respect him. So much for being the next Walter Cronkite.

So how does all this claptrap tie into the title of this blog, Howard Stern's Desperate Belief in The Concept of Greatness by Association? Good question. If you stay alert and avoid falling asleep during the Tradio calls, and Ashley Madison commercials, you will occasionally pick up on Howard mischievously attaching virtues to someone whom he thinks could be viewed as being similar to him -- i.e. great by association. Obviously, even Howard realizes he can't openly extol his own virtues too often, or too much. Even Howard's peanut gallery's frequent assertions that Howard Stern is handsome ring insincere. Therefore, deftly, and with finesse, Howard has mastered the art of the oblique self-compliment. Look at Howard's back and there's a hand print from being patted there too many times. Unfortunately, that hand print is Howard's own. I often wonder if Howard is even aware of how transparent and lame his behavior is. Sometimes one has to have the courage to accept not only others as they are, but themselves as well. And the latter is much more difficult. Que sera!

The latest incidence of Howard's great by association comment was during a discussion of Sacha Baron Cohen's movie Bruno. Howard said that the movie was important because it showed how people really were. Specifically, that Paula Abdul was a hypocrite for talking about her charity work while sitting on a Mexican, or that rednecks are homophobic. Howard's assertion is that Sacha Baron Cohen's exhibitionism, crude gay jokes, and poking fun at religion can all be regarded as noble and great. The underlying message implied is that Howard also engages in exhibitionism, crude gay jokes, and pokes fun at religion so he too is important, noble, and great. I've noticed this tendency of Howard to glam onto perceived greatness many times, and wish I had kept a list. Bottom line, the sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the sons. There's a child in Howard, and in us all yearning to break free, and escape the constraints and shackles of our youth, where for a simple twist of fate, or unkind word we're trapped in a living hell of our own design.

For Howard Shrine Spews & Views, this is I. Humphrey saying, "I believe bloggers are courageous, generous, and erudite people of honor who write about important people, so are therefore pretty gosh darn important, beyaaatch!"

Life is like living in a week old stuffed-derma being consumed in teeny tiny bites by a denture wearing fat old Jewish lady with chopped-liver breath, and sporting too much fire-engine red lipstick while busy playing Canasta with her blondish-blue haired yenta friends at a seaside stone table in Brighton Beach Brooklyn prior to a Suzanne Pleshette concert. -- July 17, 2009 From the musings of Iggy -- I. Humphrey

The Howard Stern word of the week is: trepidation.
