St. Louis Public Radio News
City, Club Lure make their cases over nightclub’s liquor license

ST. LOUIS
(St. Louis Public Radio)
The two sides in the fight over a downtown night spot were in front of a judge Friday to outline their case.
City prosecutors are trying to strip Club Lure, at 1204 Washington, of its liquor license, citing violence, indecent behavior, and documentation problems such as failure to conduct criminal background checks on employees and update the employment list with the city.
Several police officers who have patrolled the downtown entertainment district told Judge Margaret Walsh about breaking up fights outside the club, writing tickets for littering and public drunkenness, and dealing with traffic issues on the streets outside the club. Earl Westfall, who lives with his girlfriend in the lofts above the club, told Judge Walsh about the club’s failure to leave its fire exit locked from the outside. He would often, he said, feel threatened by Lure patrons who lingered in the lobby that was supposed to be for residents only.

Of course no real r&b album is complete without songs about women, or more precisely, being in love and lust with women, and I Still Believe has plenty to proffer on that front as well. Spotlight lays out a smooth, strip club friendly beat for Lyfe’s boot knocking proclivities, complete with a hilarious monologue (that is without a doubt the first Kevorkian reference in r&b history). It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it doesn’t need to be, it just needs to get the ladies winding their hips on the dance floor. Mission accomplished. Unfortunately under the criteria I’ve laid out repeatedly in these reviews I have to deduct points for I Still Believe’s lack of a true babymaker, Spotlight’s really as close as we get, but that doesn’t mean the album lacks in the desire department. Whatever She Wants is a hypnotic ballad about falling head over heels in love, and of course the simply titled Love is Lyfe’s musical recipe for keeping that special lady in your life. So if you’re looking to lock the bedroom door and get down I Still Believe won’t be your first choice, but for the other 99% of your relationship needs, Lyfe’s got you covered.

Jesse and Latonya Robinson: Washington Park Couple Allegedly Stole Money Intended for Hurricane Katrina Victims
Anyone who has ever driven through Washington Park knows that the place looks like it was recently hit by a hurricane. Save for the strip clubs, the tiny village next East St. Louis is full of buildings that are burned down, boarded up and falling over.
But while some of the residents probably should be eligible for some sort of disaster relief benefits they definitely are not. Well, all of them except for 57-year-old Jesse Robinson and 40-year-old Latoya Robinson.
According to federal prosecutors in Southern Illinois, the couple applied for and received taxpayer dollars that were supposed to go to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
According to the Belleville News-Democrat, both Robinsons were indicted earlier this week by a grand jury on one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and three counts of mail fraud.

Study: Strip Clubs Beneficial to Men’s Health
The first thing you notice in the VIP dining room of the Penthouse Club in Sauget are the chairs. Actually, scratch that. The first things your eyes adjust to in the near pitch-black darkness is the stuffed lion, the moose bust over the fireplace and the stone grotto in the corner. Then you notice the chairs.
…
But Ocello didn’t invite me to the Penthouse Club today to discuss furniture. No, he has something much more interesting to report: the study that found strip clubs like his can be good for your health.
…
The study suggests that strip clubs can lower Cortisol, the so-called “stress hormone” that can lead to heart disease, while also boosting Oxytocin, the so-called “love hormone.” Moreover, strip clubs tend to increase testosterone which naturally declines as men age.
…
So, how long til doctors begin prescribing a trip to the strip club to their patients?

Strippers and Club Owners Fight For Right To Bare All08-12-2010
St. Louis, MO – Missouri’s adult entertainment industry refusing state law to go PG-13. Owners of Adult Dance bars have filed a lawsuit to keep Missouri from implementing a new law that would ban full nudity and alcohol at strip clubs and adult stores. The new law would also stop topless lap dances and tipping, as well as force these clubs to close at midnight.
Calling the law a “series of draconian restrictions,” the lawsuit asks the court to keep it from taking effect Aug. 28th, when it is slated.
The lawsuit filed in Cole County involves more than a dozen plaintiffs, including three unnamed adult dancers, numerous businesses and an organization for the adult entertainment industry. It also includes the president of a national chain of adult businesses, who lives in the St. Louis-area and is suing in his individual capacity as a taxpayer.

A St. Louis-area man was sentenced this morning to life in prison without parole for the killing of two men outside a Kansas City strip club.
Deonta R. Taylor, 32, of Florissant, Mo., was sentenced in Jackson County Circuit Court where a jury in June found him guilty of two counts of first-degree murder. He was also found guilty of two counts of armed criminal action.
Taylor was convicted in the shooting deaths of Drell D. Fisher and Reginald L. Barnes. Both men were 33.
They were shot to death in February 2009 in the parking lot outside Gerry’s Silver Slipper on Independence Avenue. There was no trial testimony about a motive, but club records showed that Taylor’s driver’s license was used to enter the club that morning. Several eyewitnesses also picked him out of a photo line-up.
The defense maintained that the witnesses were not credible and that Taylor’s driver’s license had been stolen prior its use at the club.

… who is gearing up for the release of his new album on Aug 31) and candidly discussed a range of topics with him including industry guys dating strippers, S.E.X., Marriage and Crazy Baby Mamas, and more.
…
On Men In The Entertainment Industry dating strippers or “former” strippers I think that a man is just attracted to a woman who is free. She’s just living her life and in connection, she makes him feel free too. You have to understand that before coming into the industry, most cats were just regular dudes who never had a chance to get with someone that’s hot like that. And now they can get this chicks that’s just living her life and is live, she makes him live too.On men in the entertainment industry not being attracted to “regular” women They should actually be flattered by that. Because you are going to attract who you are. This dude might have a great career …

Police in East St. Louis say Travis Heard, 33, was on the roof of the Colony II Theatre and Cocktails strip club around 5 a.m. this morning when he was confronted by the club’s owner.
Heard was reportedly ordered off the roof at gunpoint and escorted inside the building. The club owner called police around 5:30 a.m. to report the attempted theft, but by the time authorities arrived to the scene Heard was dead.
The owner — described as a “elderly man” — told police that Heard tried to flee and he shot him. Police followed a trail of blood some 75 feet from the club, where Heard’s body was found lying in the weeds.
Heard’s family tells the Belleville News-Democrat that he was addicted to drugs.
“He had a drug problem, but that was no reason to kill him. He was not a trouble maker; he was just on drugs,” said cousin, Bernard Heard.
