ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 02/23/15 **SUPER BLIND ITEM**
Sex trafficking, money laundering, fake passports and blood diamonds are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this behind the scenes look into the celebrity sex trade. Backed financially by two Middle Eastern royal families the day to day logistics are run by a man I call Bani. Four months before Cannes and the start of the summer yacht season, Bani is in Hollywood negotiating deals and living up to his reputation as a man who can always find a price where a woman says yes. He is the sex broker between the stars and the men who want to fuck them. Instead of shaming celebrities as they left swag suites loaded down with goods which will end up under Christmas trees later this year, two days prior to the Golden Globes I found myself roaming the 14th floor of the Beverly Wilshire looking for the correct suite. It was an entire floor of very large, very expensive suites and a staff member had to assist me with the elevator because it doesn’t normally stop on the 14th floor. That always makes rich people feel special. I don’t normally even stop at the Beverly Wilshire. I boycotted the place a couple of years back when I got the bill for an omelet and orange juice and it topped $50. They don’t know I’m actually boycotting. More of a silent thing. Well, they probably do now. Do you think they read this? Probably not, but their buddies over on Doheny do. I can’t believe I am already digressing. Two weeks before I set off to look at carpet patterns on this hotel floor I received an e-mail. It was from a man who said that he saw me on Secret Societies Of Hollywood and had some information about one of the topics I discussed. I would like to think I was his first choice but apparently my buddy Mark Ebner was busy chain smoking or maybe the e-mail ended up in Mark’s spam. Anyway, I ended up e-mailing the guy and we had a back and forth. He didn’t want to go into much detail through e-mail and I didn’t really want to expose myself to sunlight. He might have mentioned a meal in one of the conversations and as you know, I will pretty much do anything for a free meal. When he said he was the go to guy for transactions involving models, actresses and reality stars for some of the richest people in the world, of course I was going to say yes. I had no photo to go by. The night before my visit he confirmed our appointment and over the month he was in town we met several times, almost always in his hotel suite, and always always with a guy named Ravi by his side. Apparently Ravi used to be a Navy Seal. Ravi didn’t say it. Ravi didn’t say anything. He barely blinked. He was right at six feet tall with a buzz cut that hid his blonde hair. The guy is all muscle. As in bounce a quarter off the guy muscle. My contact, the guy we will call Bani loved talking about Ravi and would not stop bragging about how he had a Navy Seal guarding him. At that point I wasn’t sure why Bani needed security. All I knew was when he opened that door the first time we met, I couldn’t help noticing the really nice view. It was just right there. I pointed it out to Bani who was dressed in a royal blue suit that must have cost more than I make in a month. His thick black hair was slicked back with some kind of product that made his hair look wet. It smelled a lot like olive oil. Probably something he found on the GOOP website. He is close to 60 but looked about ten years younger. Must be all the talking. The second I walked in the door Bani started talking about how his suite was the one Piers Morgan lived in while Piers worked at CNN. I think Piers had a different one, but Bani seemed pretty excited about it so I didn’t want to make him feel bad. I would wait to see if he came through with a meal first. I get a lot of e-mails. I get a lot of tips. I get a lot of tips through other people that give me tips. After the television show, the tips got out of control. After doing this for over eight years, you kind of get a sense what is real and when someone is not being completely honest or doesn’t know what they are talking about. There was a lot of that after the show. A whole lot of Illuminati people and how Beyonce and Jay-Z are taking over the world. Then Solange beat the crap out of Jay-Z on an elevator and all that stopped. Anyway, some guy e-mailing me from the Middle East is usually about as reliable as the ones I get from Nigeria. What made me want to visit the guy? He sent me his photo and name and said if it was not him when I got to the hotel room I could leave. Yes, it sounded like an escort ad, but then again, isn’t that what the guy does? I put his name into the Google machine and there he was. Right there smack in one of the royal families. Upper smack, not lower. Bani is what he agreed to be called. Kind of gives a clue, but also protects his identity. So, from my Google search, Bani was definitely in a position to be in the know about the celebrity sex trade, but was he the real deal? At the time, I wasn’t sure. But, for a free meal, I have done more stupid things so off I went. After Ravi thoroughly patted me down to the point I’m pretty sure he knows if I am circumcised or not, the ground rules were set. No recordings and no photographs. Oh, and no notes. That wasn’t going to be possible. I agreed to the conditions but the first time I went to the bathroom I saw a hotel pen and I remembered a scene from the book or movie from All The President’s Men and grabbed that pen and wrote notes on toilet paper. Over my interviews with Bani, I must have gone to the bathroom 15 times. I’m pretty sure he thinks I have prostate cancer. I had so many questions, and unlike the finale of Lost, I actually got some answers. With the amount of information I got from him, I think this will be easier if we at least start from the origins of it all and then bounce back and forth. Bani gave me hundreds of names of celebrities, models, actresses who have all at one time or the other had sex for money. The thing is, he also had proof. For every single person there was a receipt or photos or some other kind of written record that tied that celebrity to being paid for sex. I’m not sure how many names Bani went through in his books. At some points he would flip through pages like he was speed reading and other times he would slow down and even others completely stop what he was doing so he could elaborate on a person or a point I wanted him to clarify. Conservatively I say he gave me about 500 names. These names go back over four decades. From the last twenty years I probably knew eighty percent of the names. Prior to that, they had to be a big name for me to know. I was shocked by some and not by others. One of them married a friend of mine. Do I tell him? Out of the 500, there were about a dozen that made my jaw drop. I actually knew about two of the dozen, but it was nice to actually know I had been right. To see that paper in front of you that shows you that the sister of a Duchess manages to finance her life by frequent weekend visits to the Middle East and that the permanent A++ list celebrity who might be the biggest A++ list celebrity of all-time was not above some one on one time. Bani says that the latter person was at one point the highest paid person ever but that she has since been eclipsed by several others who don’t hold a candle to the A++ lister. How did all of this begin? Bani says it all started with Grace Kelly and Prince Ranier. When the UAE was formed in the early 1970’s, apparently everyone in power wanted their own Grace Kelly. They didn’t necessarily want to marry the woman but they wanted their friends and associates to know they had been with someone like Grace Kelly and that it would also be good business. At the time, the Emirates in particular were trying to draw companies to the region and employees for those companies. Even Qatar, who is way more conservative got into this little game, but is just much better at hiding it. At least at home. See, that was one of the original problems. As liberal as the UAE might seem in the Arab world, it is still the Arab world and certain things don’t need to happen at home. Where could they go that they could make things happen? Why not right by where Grace Kelly lived at the time.
HELLO CANNES
The early 70’s brought about huge changes at Cannes. Bani says
that some money funneled over to some people at the Festival made
things
a little more accessible. Now, basically a couple of people chose the
films
and the countries other than France that they came from. Huh. So,
instead
of countries submitting films, it was the committee who chose the
films.
The films with the actresses that these guys wanted to meet. Fast
forward
a little bit. Bani and his special friends had two tables at the Golden
Globes
this year. Why? To let the assistants to the big buyers and players get
a
look at many of the women in the flesh. They went to multiple after
parties
for the same purpose. They then pass certain information along to their
bosses.
Pictures are just pictures. They also invade the SAG Awards but don’t
attend the Academy Awards or Emmy Awards. For the most part, they are
not
picking up A listers. Yes, they do get certain ones which I will
mention
later, but they are going for the B listers. Those are the people who
tag
along to the Golden Globes. The show gets invited and there are all the
people
from that show or movie. Same with the SAG Awards. They love the after
parties
because they are filled with their prime targets. The ones they all
know
and recognize, but who were not invited to the show. All they could do
was
muster an after party invite. They throw out lots of business cards
during
those parties. Anyway, we will get back to that. For now, let’s go back
to Cannes. Back before they had the internet, the brokers would head to
Cannes
and also Paris Fashion Week and take Polaroid photos of all the models
and
actresses that were looking for hostess work. That is what they called
it
then. Now they call it promotional work. You would be a hostess at a
hotel
party or on a yacht, but there would be 20 hostesses and most of them
would
end up naked and having sex by the end of the night. All for money of
course.
The Polaroid photos would be taken and then copied into a black and
white
book. Beneath each photo it had her nationality, movies or television
shows.
Kind of like a mini version of IMDb. It would also list the cost for
the
woman. At the time it was per night and per week. Now, there is usually
a
minimum of a week unless it is a big star. They can get away with
charging
for one night. Most that do this kind of work though do it for a week
or
longer. There would be a contact phone number for the celebrity or
model
and the person who "discovered" her. There was and is still a huge
bonus
to the people who work for Bani to get their name in the discovered box
the
most. Not only for sheer volume, but also for quality. Bonuses are
awarded
to the guys who find the most used women. So, you want to make sure you
are
providing the best. The best, yesterday and today are the people they
know.
Models used to be a big deal, but now, they want people that are easily
recognizable. They save models from various Fashion Weeks for yachts in
the
summertime for mass parties and keep them in Dubai hotels or condos for
when
businessmen come to town and need to be convinced to sign a contract.
It
is really low end work by their standards and they are not included in
the
book. The early 70’s were before Bani’s time but he still has the
records of some of the actresses that agreed to have some fun being
a hostess. At the time they were not going back to the Middle
East.
The fun had to be either during Cannes or during the summer in France
or
every so often back in LA, but times were different then, and it rarely
happened.
In the late 70’s this former A list (YA) mostly movie actress who got
her start in television and has offspring galore in the business, had
her
movie career crash. She was always a free spirit and judging by what I
saw,
she got paid almost as much for one night as she did on most of her
movies
in the 70’s. If you were ever going to think of an actress (YB) back
then who would be into this type of thing it would be this A lister at
the
time from a huge franchise who never had any other luck. For a few
years
she was someone everyone wanted and apparently many enjoyed. One I was
shocked
to see was someone who has won an Academy Award (YC). Back in the 70’s
everyone loved her acting and by the time the last year of the decade
arrived
she was one of the biggest stars on the planet. The year before that
though
she struggled to earn money and this actress who is now an A list
mostly
television actress was a favorite of a lot of people. Probably the most
requested
of the decade. I asked Bani about Studio 54 and if that was a hunting
ground
for the assistant brokers and he said no. When I asked why he said that
it
was one thing for these guys to pay for sex and have some booze and be
out
partying, but that they drew the line at drugs and felt like everyone
who
was partying there did drugs and they didn’t want to be caught up in
something like that because it could mean death. It is the same reason
today
that they will not touch singers. They believe that every singer is on
drugs.
There are a couple of exceptions I will get to when I reach that
decade,
but singers are a no no and there are some very strange other
prohibitions
and rules about other groups of people too.
Asians , Russians And The Murder That
Shook
Things Up
The first meeting with Bani was a blur. There were so many
names
and faces and books and records and stories and royal families and this
and
that it was hard to keep up. When I finally had enough and needed some
booze
in a very desperate way, we made plans to meet the next evening. Late.
He
had some meetings and originally thought we would only be meeting an
hour
or two. Instead it was five and we had not even reached the tip of the
iceberg.
Well, maybe the tip. I went home and tried to process it. Even though I
have
only given you five or six blinds to this point, I was probably given
100
names those first few hours. I’m trying to go chronologically for you,
but he was tossing out names from different decades and then I would
ask
a question about a person and it would send him on a tangent. One of
those
tangents started with me asking him why to that point at least I was
not
seeing or hearing any Asian women on the list. It was just a toss away
question
but it led to one of those most interesting stories he told me during
any
of our meetings. Apparently there is a certain cache in this world in
acquiring
English speaking women. Basically Australia, the UK, the US and some
parts
of Western Europe. They want to have seen the woman on television or
the
movies. They honestly don’t care if the woman is on some British
reality
program like Made in Chelsea or in Transformers. They want someone they
know
their friends know and can recognize. Yeah, who knew reality television
was
big over there. It actually isn’t. What is big though are tabloids and
gossip websites. Most of those are in English and cover the shows and
movies
of the aforementioned countries. Asians are not generally covered in
the
news and tabloids they read or discuss. Further, he said that most of
the
domestic workforce in the households are from Asian countries or India
so
there is nothing special about being seen or having sex with an Asian.
This
led me to ask a follow-up question. I know, I know, entertainment
reporters
asking a follow-up question would be a nice treat wouldn’t it? Asking
any kind of real question would be good. I wasn’t going to get all
Kneepaddy
on them. I asked if there were any other groups of people they didn’t
like dealing with and he said Russians. Was this a mafia thing? Some
other
reason? Bani leaned back in the chair in which he was seated and took
out
a cigarette. Apparently the whole no smoking thing in the suite didn’t
really bother him and I was pretty sure he could afford the extra
cleaning
fee. Even Ravi seemed to move a little from his position of attention.
I’m
pretty sure he was able to sleep standing up. I did see him sit a few
times.
Once when I was at a bar with Bani, we sat at a table and Ravi sat at a
bar
stool . "It happened about fifteen years ago," Bani began. "There was a
woman
(YD) that every person wanted and they all were trying their hardest
and
doing everything in their power to make it happen. People were
literally
throwing money to be the first to say they had been with her." Well,
finally
one of the guys manages a break through. He had followed her to a
couple
of events where she had been working and sent over some gifts. One, a
bracelet
she still wears sometimes that cost in excess of a million dollars. So,
the
two have some dinner and they make plans to meet in Paris in April
which
was a few weeks away. They meet in Paris and have a great time. They
spend
two or three nights together and they are spotted in a couple of
different
places together and this guy is a hero back home. He would have lived
off
that praise for a long time. The only problem is, a few weeks after
their
nights together he is killed in a Berlin hotel room. The killers make
it
very clear why they killed him. It was because of this woman he had
been
with. Apparently there were several men in Russia who wanted to be with
her.
The oligarchs had tried and failed, but there were two men who at one
point
in time were actually A listers (YE, YF) in their own little niche here
in
the US. Both of them were fighting for her. When one would go out with
her
the other would go crazy and it was not uncommon for some collateral
damage.
A friend of one or the other would get beat up. No one had ever been
killed.
Apparently at the time YD hooked up with the man, she was in a
relationship
with YE. He actually has a significant other (YG) now who is arguably
more
famous than YD, at least here in the US. As time goes by she is
especially
more likely to stay more famous just because she still has a career.
Anyway,
back to the story. YE goes nuts when he hears about this. Both YE and
YF
are paying protection money to the mafia which comes directly out of
their
pay. The mafia members were listed as "Managers." So, YE complains that
he
wants something done for all of this money he is paying and a couple of
guys
are sent to find the guy and they kill him. When he is out of the way,
YE
tells YD what he has done and proposes to her. She accepts. At this
point
in the story, Bani does not really know what happened to YD and YE and
YF.
If you figure out who they are, you can fill in those blanks.
Meanwhile,
back home in the UAE, something has to be done. There has to be some
kind
of payback. There was and there is. For the past fifteen years on
average
about once every two years a Russian "businessman" is killed who has
ties
back to the UAE and shortly after that someone with ties to the UAE is
killed
by the Russians. Those killings usually happen in London. All of this
over
one woman. How do these women get paid? Wire transfers? Cash? This is a
lot
of money we are talking about here.
From Cash To Furs To Blood Diamonds
And
Endorsement – How A Celebrity Gets Paid For Sex – Tax Evasion At
Its Finest
During his time in LA, Bani would give me a call and tell me he
needed
to reschedule. It would be buyer or seller or some other kind of issue
he
would deal with but I never really understood until I asked. I guess I
assumed
that all of the celebrities were paid in cash or wire transfers. I was
wrong.
It is not the first time. Bani said that everyone was happy to pay in
cash
of course or do a wire transfer, but most celebrities wanted it to be
untaxed
income. To do this, they either had to get paid in cash and not declare
the
money to customs when entering the country or figure out a way to get
several
wire transfers beneath the mandatory $10,000 reporting requirement to
the
IRS. The problem with both of those is the former involved not just the
failure
to declare the money but how to smuggle in some cases $250,000 in cash
without
any security checkpoint person seeing it in your luggage. With the
latter
trick, banks notice repeated transfers of amounts under the limit and
the
IRS can seize your bank account and make you explain why you are not
guilty
while they hold the money. Until 9/11 these types of rules either
didn’t
exist or were rarely enforced. The technology and the will to enforce
them
were lacking. Another thing that changed was the prices being paid. You
would
think that with the proliferation of television, especially reality
television
and the sheer volume of people on television that prices would be
lower.
That is not the case. Prices have gone through the roof. Although there
is
a glut of people on television, there has been a competition among the
regulars
to always have the newest or best or most well-known celebrity. So, yes
someone
from a season of The Real World might not be getting paid much although
there
are at least five names I recognized from various seasons of the show
including
one who finances her gambling career with regular cash infusions from
sex.
The bigger the name, the higher the price. On a side note, this is one
of
the reasons some female celebrities make sure they are in the tabloids
or
get their photos taken on a daily basis. They are trying to get
noticed.
They want to be seen. They want to be a big "get" for these men so they
can
charge premium rates. If you see a woman in the tabloids every single
day,
there is a very good chance she is paying a pap because it is a good
investment
for her. There are some other interesting behaviors or tells about the
celebrities that participate. If you see a woman flying alone in First
Class
on one of the UAE or Qatar airlines, she is most likely getting paid by
a
man to fly to see them. If a celebrity is frequently in Miami or goes
to
Miami for modeling shoots the chances are good she is selling herself.
Several
photographers in Miami make their living shooting photos for the
private
websites used by the men to select the celebrities. If you see a female
celebrity
in Cannes or in the Mediterranean for most of the summer or for weeks
at
a time in the summer she is working the circuit. There are several
magazines
that exist solely to advertise celebrities to these men. They have
little
to no advertising and generally waver between the line of art and porn.
Enough
of that for now, let’s talk about who and how these women are paid.
The easiest and most common way for the women to get paid is to make it
look
like a legitimate business deal. One of these businessmen opens a
business
in Los Angeles. It can be anything from an ice cream store that never
really
expands to an energy drink company that never seems to sell any drinks.
Look
who owns them. Generally it will be a man from the Middle East. Someone
you
would not expect to get an endorsement deal is suddenly being paid a
ton
of money to endorse the ice cream store or the energy drink and get
their
photo in the tabloids. The agents and managers love this because they
take
their cut. Yep, they are basically getting pimp money. The female gets
paid
and then goes to the Middle East where there is the only other location
for
the business. Huh. Imagine that. They go for a night or two and have
sex
for the stupid amount of money they were paid. Another option that is
catching
on is the woman flies to the country and in the country is taken
shopping.
She picks out a gift from a certain store that is worth the equivalent
of
what she is getting paid. She then brings that gift back to LA, usually
in
her luggage or wearing it. If for some reason she is questioned about
whether
she bought it out of the country she can say no, she bought it at a
store
in LA which will vouch she bought it there and even produce a receipt
if
necessary. The woman is welcome to keep the gift or she will go to the
store
that happens to buy gold and silver and other things and buys the item
from
the woman and gives her cash. Another option that occurs is a woman is
paid
in diamonds. This happens a great deal with women in Europe much more
than
women from the US. The diamonds are blood diamonds which are exchanged
back
in their home country for a diamond that is not a blood diamond. It is
an
easy way to smuggle in blood diamonds and often the women will keep
them
for themselves. So, who are some of these women? In tomorrow’s final
installment I will have a list of about 30 women who are on this list.
I
won’t bother with the D listers or the countless Instagram models that
do whatever they can to get attention in the Middle East and a weekend
of
work there. Nope. There is no need to focus on the lower listers when I
can
bring up people like the A list mostly movie actress who is married
right
now. Foreign born and with an Academy Award nomination/win to her
credit.
Gorgeous. She has moved from indie type movies to box office comedy
popcorn
flicks. There was a period of time where she was making trips every
three
months until she landed her rich husband who contacted her through one
of
the channels. You don’t have to be Middle eastern to participate, but
you have to be rich and know someone very well there to be included.
Oh,
there are two sets of sisters that I saw on the list that everyone
would
know. One set of sisters is born in the US and you can choose one, two
or
all three of the sisters depending on what you want to happen and how
much
money you have. One of the sisters is more famous than the other two.
There
are the two sisters who are foreign born. One of them is an Academy
Award
winner/nominee and made ends meet for quite some time with sex for
money
with the men. Her sister still makes her living doing it. Lots of
Formula
1 executives met their wives or girlfriends this way. Oh, there is the
foreign
born A list super model who has not had to earn extra money that way
for
over a decade thanks to her television shows, but she used to. There
were
several Victoria’s Secret models on the list. Both past and current.
One foreign born celebrity from the UK who everyone knows or suspects
makes
her living that way was turned down for inclusion to the list this year
because
she had gained some weight. She called or texted Bani the entire time
he
was in LA, every day to tell him about her progress. He showed me the
series
of nude pictures. She would send two or three a day to show the
progress
and apparently when I last asked about her, she was going to be allowed
to
work the circuit. Working the circuit is not as prestigious as the
flying
over for a night or two. When you work the circuit you are paid a flat
fee
for expenses and given a place to stay and your airfare, but you have
to
hustle and find someone to pay you. It is not charging by the hour
because
you still have to make the cut and you do get paid the daily stipend
but
these women can often go through a dozen or more men over a two month
period.
The List And How Times Are
Changing
Several times during our meetings I asked Bani why he wanted
anyone
to know about this. Sure, people have guessed and knew about some of
these
things, but this was a lot of detail. He was naming names. Why now? He
said
it in almost the same way you watch some NatGeo special. No, not the
good
ones where people end up in jail for drug crimes or that guy who lives
alone
in the forest. It has to do with how times are changing. Not even a
decade
ago, Bani’s services were essential. His team flew all over the world
and made the books or compiled the photos for the websites. They met
agents
and managers and the women. They met new men who would be willing to
pay
a premium. So much of it was personal. Much like George Clooney’s
character
in Up In The Air though, technology has changed things. Now, men are
just
using Instagram or social media to contact the celebrities directly.
They
look at photos and decide if it is someone they like. They can look at
IMDb
and see credits. The same payment arrangements can be made with the
woman,
but Bani and his staff don’t get a cut any longer. Bani was trying to
show me he was useful and had a place. For now, he is safe. There is
still
a great deal of demand for Bani’s services because the elite of the
elite don’t make these kinds of deals on the internet through their
Twitter account. Another group that is excluded from Bani’s services
are men seeking other men. Much like drugs, this kind of activity would
be
frowned on and Bani knows it exists of course and there is some buying
going
on, but he does not get involved and did not want to discuss it much
either.
I wish I could have been allowed to take notes. I didn’t need to take
photos, but there were just so many names. Many of the big names I knew
and
could remember. A lot of the D listers from the US I recognized and
remembered
many of them. The reality stars from the UK and Australia were much
harder
mainly because if I didn’t recognize a name or Bani didn’t name
drop a television show, the name didn’t stick in my memory. These are
the ones I remember. To keep things easy, I will just go in order with
the
same codes I have been using beginning with YG. I know I didn’t use
codes in the previous part, and maybe I should have.
