At one point she was one of the hottest porn stars in America. Janine Lindemulder may be most famously known for gracing the album cover of Blink 182's Enema of the State. She got it on with Jenna Jameson in Janine Loves Jenna in 2007. However, in 2008 she was sentenced to six months in prison for willful tax evasion.
She was released in July of 2009. Previous to prison, she was married to West Coast Choppers founder Jesse James with whom she has a daughter, Sunny James. Since their divorce, James married actress Sandra Bullock, with whom she is now battling for custody of five-year-old Sunny.
Bullock and James claim Lindemulder is unfit to be a mother, saying that she has married a felon and falls asleep after drug binges. Lindemulder insists that she has changed. The James' had a temporary order of full custody while Lindemulder was in prison and are now working to make it permanent.
Marathon Gambling Is a Go
Rhode Island now allows the 24-hour use of slot machines at a casino in Lincoln. There's another casino in Twin River that may follow suit. Casino revenues are down and the non-stop use of machines may help counter the losses.
Twin River filed for bankruptcy protection in June and has $500 million in debt. Due to the luxury of convenience, online gambling casinos like Cherry Red Casino are taking a toll on casino patronage.
Indoor Prostitution Is Out the Door
There was a loophole in the law that allowed brothels to conduct business in Rhode Island. Last week, however, Governor Don Carcieri signed legislation banning the indoor prostitution. The previous law only banned sex sold in public, hence the loophole.
There are about 30 brothels in Rhode Island. Now, with the new law in effect, prostitutes can face up to six months in prison for the first offense. Customers and repeat-offending prostitutes can face one year in prison.
Carcieri announced, "This legislation will give law enforcement officials the tools that they need to curb prostitution in our state, make our communities safer."
