It's not a pretty thing.

There is a time and a place to discuss work. New York Magazine may not be the place to do it.

A $2,000 (1,137 pounds) an hour prostitute known as New York's No. 1 Escort pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges of money laundering and prostitution that stemmed from her bragging in the media about her work.

Canadian Natalia McLennan, 25, sobbed uncontrollably in Manhattan Criminal Court after she was unable to post $50,000 bail and was taken away in handcuffs to jail.

The charges against McLennan came after she bragged in several interviews about her professional exploits, including posing provocatively for the cover of New York Magazine under the headline "N.Y.'s # 1 Escort Reveals All."

In that interview, she told the magazine she generated revenues of $1.5 million annually and kept 45 percent of that sum in return for having sex with high-roller clients of NY Confidential, a swanky Moroccan-themed brothel in Manhattan.

McLennan showed up for her arraignment dressed in a skimpy mini-skirt, a see-through blouse and four-inch spike heels, and told the court she had no idea she would remain in custody after the hearing. She wailed as she was taken from the courtroom.

Her car that is. I'm sure the paparazzi were involved some how.

Mmm. Tara's sexy side. That's something that we so rarely see. Bravo to Tara for being so brave.

Once upon a time, there was a model who was young and beautiful. She worked steadily, slept with hundreds of men, snorted more coke than Kate Moss' body weight . . .

I finally watched this weeks past episode of America's Next Top Model. Oh my God. If murder were legal, I'd off Cassandra in a split second. What an annoying woman. The woman wouldn't stop crying over the loss of her hair. Girl, you didn't lose it through radiation therapy, you're on a reality show hoping to become a model, so shut the fuck up.

James St. James did a fabulous job as a guest judge. He reminisces on his experience.

Charlize Theron gets all choked up over her star. Actually, that's kind of nice to see. She strikes a pose that fans of Valerie Cherish, and The Comeback, are familiar with.

Don't you remember when really old celebrities only received them. At this rate, Dakota Fanning could receive one any day now.
