Sunset With Former Mayor Oscar Goodman Adult Film Star and Las Vegas Vixen Sunset Thomas is something of a footnote on the menu at Oscar’s Steak House at the Plaza Casino in Downtown Las Vegas. The Steakhouse (billed as providing Beef—Booze—Broads) won’t let you down (a promise Sunset is fond of making herself!) “Hizzoner is the hippest,” howls Sunset. “The girls he has working the room are far more than eye candy—they’re engaging and so hot—the bar is classy and the view from the dining room is as hip as any in town. Now when I hear Petula Clark’s song Downtown, I can’t help but think she’s singing about Downtown Vegas!” Sunset, of course, has a simple little stake in the menu offering. You see, about a year ago she interviewed the Mayor for doghouseboxing.com . At the time she signed an 8x10 photo of herself with the words, “I wish I had an Oscar Mayor Wiener.” “I guess it stuck,” cooed the curvy courtesan, “because that line has made its way onto the menu in the form of Veal Shank (...

**** THE CHICAGO GOSSIP Story By: Kathy Posner **** Kathy Posner According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word, “school” as a noun is defined as “an organization that provides instruction.” At dictionary.com, the word is defined as “an institution for educating children.” Likely, we all thought we knew what a school was, but a recent Illinois Supreme Court ruling has changed the definition of school as we know it. Illinois statute720 ILCS 570/407(b)(2) has a section that makes Delivery of a Controlled Substance a Class 1 felony if it is committed within 1,000 feet of a school. So exactly what constitutes a “school” is very important for drug dealers to know. The facts of the case I am writing about are not in dispute. On January 28, 2007, an undercover officer approached Anthony Young where he was standing on the sidewalk at 4958 West Augusta Boulevard in Chicago, and bought some heroin from him. The sale occurred within approximately 443 feet from the High Mountain Church a...

Since then Kelly has become an international pop icon, selling over 20 million albums worldwide and notching seven singles on the Top 10, Billboard Hot 100 chart, including “Miss Independent,” “Since U Been Gone,” “Walk Away,” “Never Again,” and “Mr. Know It All” from her latest album, ‘Stronger.’ When developing ‘Stronger’, Clarkson was influenced by Tina Turner, Prince, Sheryl Crow, and Radiohead. “The whole album is very much about strength and empowerment, so ‘Stronger’ felt like the perfect title,” Clarkson says. “Plus the title song “Stronger” is just a gold mine — it's a little bit pop, a little bit pop-rock, a little bit urban, a little bit dance, and it ties everything in. And everybody loves that...
