Las Vegas reconsiders its nickname:
"'In Christianity sin refers to deliberate disloyalty to the divine,' Jameson said. 'Does Las Vegas foster individuals to miss the point of existence or to be separated from the living, loving presence of God more than other cities? Probably not.'"

I interviewed a Wall Street gambling addict for my latest Forbes post. Got a problem vice (sex, drugs, cigs, booze, gambling, etc.) and interested in being interviewed anonymously for my Forbes blog? Email me.
"How much would you estimate you’ve won and lost?
I always wonder about this. I’m quite sure I’ve lost more than I’ve won, but I honestly have no idea. I’m not sure I’d want to know. No matter what, though, you never forget the big weeks where it was almost impossible to lose."

My friend Clayton Cubitt has another installment of his wildly popular "Hysterical Literature" series. Playboy considers the project in "The Case of the Missing Orgasm." The latest episode stars Marne, who is awesome.

"In certain corners of Manhattan, the bald look of the Brazilian has become déclassé, more suggestive of a naked Barbie doll or a reality television starlet than an organic lifestyle of cold-pressed juice and barre classes."

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Times Square of yesteryear is being replaced by luxury condos.
"It's been a long time since the Times Square area was better known for its porn emporiums and crime problems than as a hub for Broadway theaters, throngs of tourists and eye-popping lights and displays."

Nieman Storyboard's Elon Green annotation-interviewed Buzz Bissinger about "The Killing Trail."
"Journalism is fundamentally morbid. It should be morbid. Life is fucking morbid. Is there really a good journalist out there who likes the fucking sun? I will take rain any day of the week. When you get material like this you feel energized, pumped up, and you only want to go out and get more because you see the power and potential of what you might be able to do. Depressing is sitting down to write and looking at your notes and seeing the only thing you have a preponderance of is the syrup they use to make canned fruit cocktail."
I added about 25 more emails I've gotten from men who want to be porn stars.
"I know that you are only a journalist. I am also aware that you know quite a bit about the porn industry. I am young and eventually want to get into the porn bussiness and I feel that you can help me with that, I figured since you're well educated in all that topic. I've read a few of your articles and i'm impressed and convinced that you will be able to help or guide me."
"The reality of contract killing in Britain tended to be striking only in its mundanity, according to David Wilson, the university's professor of criminology. He said: 'Far from the media portrayal of hits being conducted inside smoky rooms, frequented by members of an organised crime gang, British hits were more usually carried out in the open, on pavements, sometimes as the target was out walking their dog, or going shopping, with passersby watching on in horror.'"
