The east side Scores will pick up its crumpled dollar bills and jiggle into history by the end of the year, the Daily News reports. It's not quite clear if this means the entire Scores chain, which includes clubs outside of New York, is going down, but a lawyer for the owners says, "It's over; it is what it is."

Over 70 exotic dancers are joining a lawsuit against Scores. Last year, a former bartender sued the pleasure palace chain, claiming that management wouldn't give workers their fair share of the club's "Diamond Dollars" payment plan. The lawsuit claims club charges customers a 20% fee for every $100 in Diamond Dollars purchased and when workers redeem their Diamond Dollars tips, the club keeps 10%. The NY Post, which calls Scores "the mammary mecca," reports a judge wants both sides to settle. The plaintiff's lawyer said, "These workers made a lot of money for Scores. Now they're just asking for what's rightfully theirs."
