This Week's Gossip
New York City is all about sex!! People getting it, people trying to get it, and people who can't get it!! No wonder the city never sleeps, it's too busy trying to get laid. My fun last weekend was Jason, that wonderful masseur at the Carnegie Hill Spa. We spent last Saturday night, and Sunday morning making each other happy…….. very happy. Ladies, call the Spa, talk to Tammi, and set up a massage with Jason, Eoin or the new guy Doni. Ther are worth every penny!
Last week Joseph Alnarshi was picked up by the NYPD near his houseboat on the East River. He was brought in for questioning on potential drug charges, molesting Samantha Emeris and possibly the related murder of that Shane King fellow that was found in the New York City Bay.
As I understand it, Alnarshi sent a man named Michael "Mike" Smith to kill Samantha so she couldn't testify against him and it back fired when Eric Shepard tried to intervene. Both men wound up dead after they fought in her Carnegie Hill apartment. We'll get more details at the upcoming arraignment and trial.
The FBI was also involved, assisting the NYPD in finding Alnarshi. They will probably also charge Alnashi with kidnapping and drug dealing in federal courts after Nelle Porter finishes prosecuting him regarding the attacks on Samantha Emeris.
You know I'll be there in the courtroom picking up all the juicy details for my readers.
My paparazzi friend sent me some photographs she obtained of our fashion model, Eva Macy, in Atlantic City where she's staying with at the beachside condo of a wealthy New York City banker. She was hoping to catch her sunbathing al natural when who should arrive to keep Eva company but a delightfully sexy young man, certainly not the banker who will remain unnamed. I'm using the photos of him to try and find out who this handsome devil really is. The last photos were those of Eva taking the young man inside the condo. Very interesting! I know Eva is no saint, but I'll wager that banker will be pissed.
I attended the Alnarshi arraignment last night and things went as we expected. Joe Black arrived and joined me in the audience. That made me more curious than ever. What does this man really do and why is he so interested in this case.
Nelle Porter read the charges as follows, " Your honor, the city charges Joseph Alnarshi with abduction and attempted murder… We're requesting that Mr. Alnarshi be held without bail since we consider him a serious flight risk….. There will also be Federal charges forthcoming regarding kidnapping and drugs that the accused used on Ms. Emeris. …..They believe that he's a dealer."
Laura Olsworth, Alnarshi's defense attorney responded with, " Not guilty, your honor… My client is a respected member of the community and was merely trying to help Ms. Emeris rid herself of a nasty drug problem…. This whole thing was a figment of her imagination and she's a known liar."
Nelle's counter comments were, " This is ridiculous… the defense attorney is trying a trick to try and force a plea bargain for his client….. This man is a danger to the community and needs to be locked up for as long as possible. We know he intentionally was using Samantha as a guinea pig for the new drug he plans to distribute……. I have Lisa Cohen, the New York City Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation here in the audience to verify that they are currently collecting the evidence required to file federal charges regarding this new drug that Alnarshi was testing on Samantha."
Judge Helen Gamble stated, " Okay, I've heard enough…. This isn't a trial, just an arraignment, so I'm remanding Joseph Alnarshi in the 5th Precinct until we can set a trial date.
Joe Black said he came because he knew I'd be there. We left together heading for my place where I'll try and get more out of him. Smiling as I write that last line and he pours our wine.
Entertainment
This Tuesday night, July 24th at 10:00 pm ET, the Off-Broadway Creative Arts Theatre will be offering Rachel Tatellio's version of Sex and the City - Secret Sex. There was a major power outage last Tuesday night so Rachel's Sex and the City play was delayed until July 24th. I'll be there as Miranda having fun with Tim as Ted Baker.
