It’s not just the hoes that are gettin’ rained on in this case… The Texas law that imposes a $5-per-customer fee on nude dancing establishments does not violate free speech rights, the Texas Supreme Court ruled today. The unanimous ruling validates the so-called “pole tax,” created by the Legislature in 2007 but found to be unconstitutional by the 3rd Court of Appeals. “We think a $5 fee presents no greater burden on nude dancing,” Justice Nathan Hecht wrote for the court. “The fee is not a tax on unpopular speech but a restriction on combining nude dancing, which unquestionably has secondary effects, with the aggravating influence of alcohol consumption.” The ruling overturns the 3rd Court’s opinion that the $5 fee was improperly based on the content of protected speech because it singled out nude dancing. The opinion returns the case to Travis County District Court to address claims that the fee also violates the Texas Constitution. $5 per customer can add up to a nice lil piece of change just to see something strange. We’re sure some strip clubs will just add that fin to the admission price to get in the club. No bueno mane… Source
The fallout continues for Shaq … Just a day after Shaq’s nasty convo with a journalist jawn threw D-Wade under the bus, we have yet another freaky set of convos, this time between him and his lil Swedish model becky . And it sounds like they were doing some nasty stuff!!! The Miami New-Times have obtained the following messages: According to emails and texts sealed in court, but which we were able to obtain anyway: On February 1, 2009, Shaquille O’Neal– who was still married– received a message from model and long-rumored goomah Dominica Westling. Behold, a transcript of a conversation between “DIESELDOGMAFIA” and “swedishdoll”: Westling: I feel bad we lost contact. Hope you are well. I live in LA now so hit me up if you ever come out there -dominica Shaq: O my god were r u can i have u bak i miss u to whts yur number pls baby i want u bak do u love me Dominica: Yes I wanna see you, you know I can never forget about you. My number is [redacted by us] [23 days later, Dominica sends Shaq an email with only the subject line “Muuaaahhh” and a photo which, judging by his reaction, wasn’t of a tray of freshly-baked cookies.] Shaq: Where can I c** [word for skeet] at when I c u Dominica: All over me, where do you wanna c**[word for skeet]? Shaq: In u foreva Dominica: I miss that We weren’t able to reach Westling, who’s no longer using the email addresses, and whose phone does not allow voicemail. We sent these emails to Shaq’s Miami attorney Benjamine Reid for comment early last night, and haven’t heard back. Damn son… this chick just loved being the Diesel’s personal nut bucket! This dude did Shaunie super dirty… For more photos of this skank continue.
We knew it was just a matter of time… According to TMZ reports : Octomom was the featured attraction at Playhouse Gentlemen’s Club in Hollywood, FL last night — but she wasn’t there to take it off … she was there to promote her celebrity boxing match. Octo was in the house with Damon Feldman (seen above), the guy who puts on “Big Bang Celebrity Boxing” … and Cassandra Anderson, her opponent for tonight’s fight (seen below). Ok well, she wasn’t exactly swinging from the pole, but we’ll be damned if she ain’t on her way!

What the fizzuck?! Someone better keep an eye on Whoopi Goldberg. During an appearance on “The View” Monday, Lady Gaga revealed that she once tried to pilfer a photo of Goldberg, one of the show’s hosts, during a stay at a New York City hotel. “I’m a huge, huge, huge Whoopi fan and there’s this one hotel that I stay at where there’s photos of you everywhere throughout the lobby,” explained Gaga, who came on the show as a guest host and to perform her new single, “You and I” “I went out with my friends one night, and we’d had a little bit to drink, and we … saw this photo of you and I said, ‘Oh, I love her so much, I just want to take her up to my room.” So she did, though she didn’t get to hold on to the Goldberg keepsake for long before hotel security showed up at her door and asked for it back. It’s not the first time that Gaga has found herself in a spot of trouble involving sticky fingers and a legendary performer. Source
