Club owner and incorrigible attention addict JE Englebert is back with another shameless publicity stunt. He says he's auctioning off an outfit that Tiger Woods Mistress No. 1 Rachel Uchitel wore when she worked as a VIP hostess at TAO in Las Vegas. But he's giving the proceeds to a charity that fights domestic abuse, so it's all cool. Or not. Englebert's latest typo-ridden press release is below.

The job market has improved a tiny bit. According to the Department of Labor, New York City added 10,000 jobs last month and the city's unemployment rate dropped to 10 percent, compared to 10.3 percent for the month of October. It isn't much, no—NYC has lost 139,000 jobs since last August—but just be grateful the numbers aren't heading in the other direction. [Crain's]

Is the Daily News in Bed with Madam Kristin Davis?

cityfile · 12/17/09 11:30AM

On Tuesday, the New York Daily News took the New York Post to task over its new "sex, love and relationship" columnist Ashley Dupre, calling the ex-hooker's advice "useless" and bemoaning the fact Post editors have insisted on giving Dupre a "16th minute of fame."

Over the past 11 months, the News has mentioned Davis in no fewer than 16 articles, many of which link to her website and plug her self-published paperback book.

It's almost like the paper has Davis on speed dial, doesn't it?
