The Company Ron Burkle Keeps

Supermarket billionaire Ron Burkle's name keeps popping up in the oddest places, doesn't it? When conman Rafaello Follieri was finally busted last week, the suit filed against him by his former business partner Burkle kept coming up. Jeffrey Epstein—finally sentenced yesterday for sex with a minor—used to be "very friendly" with Ron. They compared notes on planes! In that Vanity Fair story that upset Bill Clinton so much, it was Burkle who had those unnamed staffers worried about the appearance of impropriety. Now—the oddest one yet?—King of Pop Michael Jackson announced in a court deposition that it was Ron Burkle, along with the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who saved his life when he ran out of money. Burkle brought in the Reverend to help, and Burkle's also done quite a bit of business with the Reverend's son Yusef (they own Radar together!). What a cast of unlikely characters! Did this rogues' gallery of amoral power-junkies select Ron, or vice versa? Why does the ostensibly liberal do-gooder zillionaire associate with these guys? More »

Happy New Jeffrey Epstein Mugshot Day!

Looks like you won't see former Radar (v. 2.0) investor and theoretical billionaire Jeffrey Epstein at Peggy Siegal's next party. The financier who surely doesn't have much time to finance what with all the massages and alleged raping he's doing is behind bars in Florida. He pleaded guilty to hiring underaged girls for sex and he'll spend 18 months in a Palm Beach jail (followed by a year under house arrest). The plea deal means the federal investigation against Epstein will be dropped, but now he is officially a registered sex offender. So now he'll only be allowed to expose himself to women procured by his assistant who merely look 14. [TSG]

Who Keeps Inviting Jeffrey Epstein Out

Billionaire sex-perv Jeffrey Epstein enjoys sex with underage girls, that much we know. But before we all knew this, he was a very popular financier with many important and famous friends. He went to a lot of parties! He flew Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and Chris Tucker to Africa for some reason! We can only imagine what the on-flight entertainment was. Now he's apparently getting ready to plea guilty to all sorts of things involving prostitution, and some ladies are suing him for making them his sex slaves when they were underage, so he doesn't quite go out on the town that much. Except sometimes he does! And, to answer our own question, it's because uber-publicist Peggy Siegal is still happy to stand by her 14-year-old raping friend Jeffrey. More »

To Catch a Theatergoer Are you a Creepy Creeperson who wants to see three little boys who will soon be dancing around in tutus? Well here you go. (It is also OK to look if you are curious about the soon-to-open Elton John musical Billy Elliot, which is supposed to be great.)

Florida's First Epstein Sex Suit Filed!

The first civil suit against alleged former Radar investor and theoretical billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is underway! An anonymous 14-year-old girl is suing Epstein for $50 million for various terrible, terrible things. Epstein, you see, (allegedly!) enjoys the company of destitute young teenagers. According to Jane Doe, an Epstein associate would offer the girls $200 to $300 for performing a simple massage on a creepy billionaire. When they arrived in his bedroom, Epstein would "remove his towel, lay down naked on the massage table, and direct the girl to remove her clothes. He then would perform one or more lewd, lascivious and sexual acts, including masturbation and touching the girl's vagina with a vibrator." Then he would pay them. Don't worry, Epstein fans: Page Six has been on top of this story since well before day one and they already peremptorily attacked the credibility of any girl anywhere who might eventually come forward with similar stories.

Flashers Infiltrate Macy's

The other day, we learned that "flashing and groping have long been problems in New York." You don't say! Of the 556 arrests for public lewdness in 2006, there were 29 made on the subway as part of a sting operation called Operation Exposure. (Hee!) But perhaps cops should consider expanding it to the city's mid-range department stores. More »

Former 'US Weekly' Reporter Sentenced to 6 Years For Being A Perv, Pedophile

Perhaps you recall the story of Timothy McDarrah, the US Weekly reporter who liked to meet young girls over the Internet until one of them turned out to be a federal agent. He was convicted back in December of "using the Internet to attempt to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity," and now he's been sentenced to six years in the pokey. The U.S. District Attorney's Office took the occasion to remind us, again, about just what a perv McDarrah is in its press release. More »

Peter Braunstein's Deepest Wounds Self-Inflicted

Oh, poor Peter Braunstein! The W staff-stalker and fake firefighter's lawyer says Braunstein has a blood clot in his brain and was been found bleeding from the ears. Not only that, he has a fractured skull. But no one knows how he got it! Could another inmate have bashed his head in? After all, he was moved to a high-security area of the prison after inmates threatened to slit his throat. But word is that Braunstein actually broke his skull himself, by hitting his head repeatedly against the sink in his cell. (Sounds like someone had a bad case of the Mondays!) All will undoubtedly be revealed at the trial—jury selection begins next week. BTW, please get down there and on that jury so you can tell us all about it! More »

Maybe All NYU Dorms Come With Pervy Pryers

After reading the account of being spied on while living at Coral Towers, another NYU student weighed in with her own tale of pervishness:
I lived in Third North on 3rd Ave & 11th St in 2002-2003. We lived in the room at the end of the hall, next to the maintenance closet where all the cleaning supplies were kept. One night the boys next door hijacked a moving cart and used it to bust into the closet, which was locked. They went in to steal some mops or something and found a that a large hole had been carved into the wall. One of them looked in, and said, "Hey, I think I can see into your shower!" It turns out one of the cleaning staff had been watching us shower from the wall vent for more than half the semester.

NYU's Coral Towers Dorm Has Peeping Toms

Our column about the former gay sex emporium at 14th and 3rd (now the site of a Duane Reade and an NYU dorm!) inspired a letter from a resident of NYU's Coral Towers. Apparently NYU dorms are just giant tempting high-rises full of nubile coeds on display—and now the residents are, oddly enough, tired of the men across the way who like to gaze upon them while self-fondling.

Tim McDarrah Re-Convicted in the Press

Certainly, it sucks to be Timothy McDarrah, former Us Weekly and Las Vegas Sun columnist who was convicted December 20 for soliciting Internet sexing with little girls. After McDarrah's 2005 arrest, the sordid details of his proclivities were inflicted on an unfortunate public. Nevertheless, it's a stroke of bad luck that McDarrah was found guilty at the start of a dead holiday news cycle, as all it takes is an AP retread of last week's news to spawn a raft of "new" reports about how McDarrah was "just convicted." Cheer up ... only a couple more days before we can all stop phoning it in. More »

Dirty 'US Weekly' Reporter Found Guilty of Liking Little Girls a Little Too Much

Remember when US Weekly reporter Timothy McDarrah was fired because he'd been arrested for soliciting sex with a minor? Yeah, kinda puts the alleged proclivities of certain New Yorker staffers to shame. Anyway, McDarrah was found guilty yesterday "of using the Internet to attempt to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity" after an eight-day jury trial. (McDarrah was apparently too good for a plea. Sucker!) The press release we got about the verdict had some deliciously disgusting details about McDarrah's crimes, which we've reprinted after the jump. More »
