Are you Tuff-N-Uff to be a ring girl?
Screw dodging punches and kicks inside the ring, Mixed Martial Arts ring girls have to dodge ringside photographers, videographers and hoots and hollers from the crowd. All while smiling and looking pretty in heels and a skimpy outfit. Alright, so it doesn’t sound that hard. But face it, not just anyone can confidently strut around a ring and not crack under the pressures of excited, and occasionally obnoxious, fight fans. MMA ring girls are quickly becoming as well-known as some ... Read more...

The weakest Weekly birthday
Break out the paper plates and party hats. It’s time for a belated birthday party for yours truly! Not me, I was obviously born in April; I’m talking about the Weekly, of course. According to a completely reliable source (by that we mean our MySpace profile) yesterday was our birthday. The social networking site now has us listed as 25 years old, which would definitely help the car insurance on our ‘85 Geo Metro. Of course, most people know we’re ... Read more...

Win tickets to see Bill Cosby live
Everyone knows Bill Cosby. He’s the actor, author, musician, TV producer and veteran comedian that you wish lived next door. While the Weekly can’t make the Huxtable family relocate to the Vegas Valley, we’ve got the next best thing: free tickets to funny-man Billy Cosby’s November 27 performance at Mystere Theater inside Treasure Island. Cosby got his start in the 1960s doing stand-up comedy, before crossing over to the small screen and becoming “America’s dad” in The Cosby Show. His ... Read more...

Lessons from Green Valley’s “Laramie Project”
Drama and lawsuits are just the things to make high school theater more exciting, and both erupted over Green Valley High School’s undertaking of The Laramie Project, which played last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Other than its basic retelling of the Matthew Shepard story and that my 17-year-old brother was playing one of Shepard’s murderers, I didn’t know what to expect from Laramie. As far as the legal action surrounding the production, I assumed that people were overreacting. Despite it ... Read more...

Getting into the swing of things
After about five minutes, it’s difficult to distinguish who arrived with whom. I’m pretty sure the striking brunette wearing thigh-high leggings arrived with the man wearing the silver button-up; but she’s riding the Sybian while she services a man in a white polo and has her breasts fondled by a blonde woman. Silver-shirt guy is across the small hotel room, sharing a tattooed brunette woman with another man. Two decades of vanilla indoctrination are struggling to make sense of the ... Read more...

What’s in the bag? Latin Grammy celebs score swag

Celebs at the 10th annual Latin Grammy Awards had three days and three chances to visit Fary’s suite and make off with a signature ... Read more...

Three non-porn notes from Adultcon 2009
Walking into an adult industry fair like Adultcon, it’s safe to assume a few things. For instance, you know you will see plenty of asses, many in fishnets and hanging out of barely-there three-inch skirts. Everything will be accentuated by heels great for having sex in but not so great for walking. Hordes of pornophiles will bump into you in a frenzy to take photos of and with their favorite adult entertainers. Plenty of sexed up merchandise, such as an ... Read more...

Virgins sacrificed biweekly at Onyx Theater’s Rocky Horror Picture Show
My Magenta costume looked almost too good, I realized, when I arrived at the Onyx Theater’s Halloween edition of the Rocky Horror Picture Show live cast event. Only a few scattered couples came dressed in their Rocky-wear: a few Time Warpers, a Brad (“Asshole!”), a bathrobed Brad (“Asshole!”) and Janet (“Slut!”) and a whole lot of completely unrelated Halloween costumes. Those who’ve never been to a live cast performance of the cult classic midnight movie—in which live, costumed actors eek ... Read more...
