"Californication" Gets Busy In The Hizzay (Also In The Strip Club)

Eva Amurri may not have disrobed last night—but that doesn't mean that there was a lack of action (or boobs). More »

Holly Eglington Is Supernaturally Hot In "Stan Helsing"

Just in time for Halloween comes "Stan Helsing," a horror-comedy from one of the guys who made "Scary Movie." You can probably guess what it's about...and it should come as no surprise to learn the movie features vampire strippers. More »

Let's Get Vertical: Top Ten Pole Dancing Videos

Pole dancing isn't just for strippers anymore. There are workout videos, worldwide contests; even strangers on the subway are doing it! And no matter who's working the pole, it's bound to be sexy. More »

"X Femmes": Committed To Turning You On

Due to its Frenchness, much about TV series "X Femmes" has remained a mystery to us: we're not sure what it's about, or when it airs, or who's behind it. But one thing is perfectly clear: it's really fucking hot. More »

Bella Vendetta Goes (Lesbian Stripper) RomCom

Somehow, we never pictured Bella Vendetta as the romantic comedy. Who knows why, exactly—maybe it was the tattoos, or the piercings, or the necrofetishism. But with the release of "Black Light," we're reconsidering our preconceived notions. More »

Strippers On Strippers (And The Economy)

It's an old chestnut that sex work is recession-proof: but how much truth is there to that conviction? The Rumpus takes a look at how topless dancers are faring in this economy in their latest feature, Recession Strippers. More »

Michael Phelps Gets All The Girls

A few months ago we met naughty pix model Carolynn "Caz" Pal, then Michael Phelps's girlfriend. Now exotic dancer Theresa is claiming she's had a threeway with the Olympic golden boy. More »

"Theater Sluts": Tampa's Version Of The Tonys

When "Theater Sluts" arrived at Fleshbot West, I naturally assumed some backstage video had been smuggled from Fleshbot High's production of "HMS Pinafore." Alas, this was a cast party I was not invited to. More »

Taking A Trip To The Robot Peep Show

Giles Walker's pole dancing robots are intended as commentary on our surveillance society—but we prefer to see them as a small taste of adult entertainment for robosexuals. More »

Jessica Biel Gets Her Rack Out In "Powder Blue"

It seems Jessica Biel got over her jitters and decided to go all the way in her upcoming film, "Powder Blue." Yes, readers, Jessica Biel's actual, factual breasts get exposed in the movie. Hurray! More »

Great Moments In Strip Club Marketing

Say you're a classy strip joint gentleman's club looking to upgrade your marketing for the new millenium. What do you do? How about making one of those podcasts? That's what the kids are into, right? More »

She's A Private Dancer

You know how the old song goes: she's a private dancer, a dancer for money, she'll do what you want her to do, any old music will do, and so on and so forth. Well, in this case, "any old music" is "weird techno," and "what you want her to do" translates to "give a blowjob." We had no idea those two things would go together so well, but—hey, you learn something new every day, right? More »

"Strippers Gone Wild" Shows Just How Wild Strippers Can Go

We've always operated under the assumption that the whole point of the "Girls Gone Wild" franchise was to see girls—ones who are presumably nice, mild-mannered young things in their daily lives—be persuaded to go wild, that half the thrill was in watching the transformation from sweet and demure to wild and willing. That said, we found ourselves somewhat confused by the premise of "Strippers Gone Wild." As women who take their clothes off for money, strippers are, presumably, already "wild" women—do they really have further territory to explore in the world of going wild? Apparently so: the compilation DVD boasts over four hours of action, with nineteen girls at their wildest. We've grabbed a sample clip: after the jump, see what happens when strippers stop being fake and start being real...ly wild. More »

The Wall Street banking industry may have collapsed in a heap of soiled derivatives, but that won't stop folks from indulging in the little things that make life bearable—like $1,000 lap dances. Gotta keep those economic "fundamentals" strong, you know. (amny.com; thumb via Reality Kings via Ask Jolene)

The media may continue to debate whether topless sunbathing is still in fashion or not, but given that some Las Vegas hotels are having no trouble finding customers willing to pay to watch topless strippers lounge by the pool it looks like there are some places where it will never go out of style. You just can't argue with that kind of economic evidence. (reuters.com)

Aspiring lawyers take note: you may not accept lap dances from your clients as a form of payment. However, it is still permissible to settle your legal bills by stuffing singles into your attorney's belt. (chicagotribune.com; legal scholar Danni Ashe via boobsmodels.com via)

Scores is a landmark institution in the New York strip club universe, but both locations are in danger of being shut down permanently because of all the, you know ... crime and stuff. How will our city's hedge fund managers blow their expense accounts on overpriced champagne now? (ap.google.com)

Heroic swimmer Michael Phelps once again demonstrates the famous reach and determination that won him eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. Wait until you see his breast stroke. (radaronline.com)

The ACLU is filing a federal lawsuit to defend the First Amendment rights of a pole dancing instructor. Yes, lap dances are free speech ... and isn't free speech beautiful? (nytimes.com)

The Las Vegas outpost of Scores strip club will attempt to set a world record for the most lap dances given during one song. Man, is that guy going to be sore in the morning. (avn.com)

Welcome To Iowa, Where Stripping Is An Art Form

There are no strip clubs in the state of Iowa, only "art centers" where women sometimes dance naked. Unfortunately, sometimes those women are 17 years old and happen to be the niece of a county sheriff, which leads to a whole heap of trouble. Man, we do not get modern art.

Sandy Kane: The World's Worst Singing Stripper

People like to do crazy things to get attention—like competitive eating or growing a handlebar mustache or, ahem ... blogging. Or they can take their clothes off while singing their own made up novelty songs about hookers and blowjobs. Sandy Kane is sort of like a cross between Belle Starr, "Weird Al" Yankovic and that "Chocolate Rain" guy on YouTube. She's old (not that there's anything wrong with that), she has an awful voice, and she's possibly a racist ... but try watching this video of her version of "Gloria" without finding yourself mesmerized. We can't really judge her stripping abilities based on this, but the singing is definitely not going to help with the tips. More »

Poor Women Forced To Strip For Gas Money!

Have you heard the big news? Gas is like ... really expensive. It makes things tough for everyone, but it's especially tough for the women of Louisiana who have been forced into pole dancing just put fuel in their tanks, as local Baton Rouge reporter Keitha Nelson breathlessly explains. More »

If you're like us, you were probably raised on a steady diet of "Dynasty" reruns and an old VHS copy of "The Bitch." So that means you're probably also interested in seeing an old-timey photo gallery of a burlesque star teaching Joan Collins how to take her clothes off. It's sexy and educational!

The slumping economy means fewer customers at strip clubs, but ironically enough, it also means more strippers since the pay is still better than most other jobs (which you can't get anyway, because the economy stinks.) The moral of the story? Ask about getting your unemployment checks in stacks of singles. (tbo.com; thumb via lust-hero.net, via Ask Jolene)

Meet Boston's MVS (Most Valuable Stripper)

A former in stripper in Boston claims that she single-handedly changed the face of baseball history—by boning (married) New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez in his hotel room during the 2004 American League Championship Series, thus causing his team to collapse in a historically unprecedented fashion against their arch nemesis Boston Red Sox, allowing that city to claim its first World Series title in 86 years (which they have not shut up about since.) She's like Shoeless Joe Jackson, but we guess that instead of shoes, she just takes off her bra. (bostonhearld.com, via Deadspin)

Lost In Lust: Cherise Isis' "American Stripper"

We'd like to say that the photos that comprise photographer Cherise Isis' recent "American Stripper" exhibition at Peer Gallery in New York City were more than just shots of hot topless dancers wrapping themselves around poles—you know, that they made some sort of Grand Statement about the way women were commodified by the voyeuristic gaze of an audience and that they offered a glimpse into the often sordid underbelly of certain kinds of sex work. But the truth is that most of these action portraits are a lot more gentle in their grainy soft-focus dreaminess (even when they show strippers lighting their boobs on fire); the occasional smile peeks out from the sea of arched backs and heavy-lidded eyes and several of the dancers don't appear to have slid to the bottom of the poles in question so much as to have floated there, lost in their own private reveries of desire and exhaustion like spent muses at the end of a long shift. Guess they really are more than just shots of hot topless dancers after all. More »

We've never really thought of exotic dancing as a competitive sport—there are plenty of poles to go around—but it is, and Carmen Hart is officially your National Champion. Congratulations to her, of course, but in a world where this is possible ... aren't we all winners? (avn.com, Carmen gallery @ nsgalleries.com via kellyfind.com)

A group of male strippers from Australia have had to cancel their US tour because all their clothes were stolen, which apparently wasn't just part of the act. (news.com.au)

We Can All Strip For YouStrip

Stripping is the world's oldest art form and probably the easiest: everyone knows how to get undressed, so all stripping involves is doing it ... you know, sexy like. OK, so maybe it's not that easy to do well, but surely performing a decent striptease is well within everyone's grasp? YouStrip is exactly what it sounds like: the "Strip" part means it features lots of strippers and the "You" part is there because all web video sites must have that word in the URL. It's completely devoted to short homemade striptease clips: they provide the server space, the promotional tools, and even the background music and you provide the ass or boobs or whatever you feel like showing off. But will anyone else be willing to provide the cash to get to the bonus clips and prizes? Don't worry, freeloaders—you can still get plenty of (tantalizingly brief) boobage. Just like a real strip club, but without the drink minimum! More »

Solo Para Hombres (But We Like It Too)

Yes, we know this video was posted to YouTube almost a year ago ... but if we didn't manage to set our TiVos the first time this show aired (wherever that may have been), you can excuse us for just catching up with it now. With their hot moves and saucy outfits (or lack thereof), these ladies make the Fly Girls look tame. Who says there's nothing good on television? More »

So, uh, remember what we said a little while ago about wanting to see Sasha Grey in "Grand Theft Anal" instead of in that new video games that everyone's talking about? Maybe there's a place for her in GTA4 after all! (Of course we mean as a badass gangster with two MP5K's and a black and grey skintight outfit, not as some random stripper. But those other Ladies of Liberty City look pretty interesting too.) (boinkology.com)

Jesse Jane Dries Pennsylvania's Tears, Attracts Pennsylvania's Semen

While Pennsylvania citizens may gripe that yesterday was the last they'll see of Barack and Hillary until their vote is needed again, Jesse Jane will revisit the Keystone State (thus coined in 1802 as "the keystone of the democratic arch") to arch and grind for the residents of Allentown at the folksy Erv's Ladies' and Gentlemens' Club. "Maybe they've taken all the coal from the ground," Jane did not say, "but I'm only interested in the wood." (ervsgirls.com)

Coming soon (maybe) from the same company who bought you Carmen Electra-branded stripper poles and that erotic claymation kit we told you about yesterday: Wii Pole Dancing. It's cheaper (and easier) than installing a pole in your home—though maybe not quite as sexy. And we're pretty sure those crazy upside down moves are out of the question.

The U.S. economy has gotten pretty bad, but at least one sympathetic source is helping out—a strip club in Chile is offering to accept American dollars at 2004 exchange rates in order to lure in broke gringos. Because nothing helps soothe the pain of weak monetary policy like a nice lap dance. (bloomberg.com, via guanabee.com)
