A dwarf bowling tournament planned for Staten Island bar Big Nose Kate’s has been cancelled after an unidentified scold alerted the media to the event, which was to be hosted Saturday by d-list celebrity dwarf minstrel Beetlejuice (pictured), an occasional guest on the Howard Stern show. In dwarf bowling, players take turns rolling a dwarf (wearing protective gear) on a skateboard down makeshift bowling alleys toward small pins. In exchange for his dignity, the dwarf/bowling ball earns more than $100 an hour, according to Beetlejuice’s co-manager.

An actress who insists her screaming orgasm was misrepresented in a web ad is suing Szul, the jewelry company who hired her. The 35-second spot depicts the 37-year-old woman – identified in court papers as Jane Doe – wearing a teal teddy while writhing and moaning in bed. When her ecstasy turns climactic, the ad’s slogan appears on the screen: “Rock Her World.” Genius, right?!

200709jayparkinson.jpgWe're really surprised no one thought of this sooner: vintage healthcare! Well, sort of. Jay Parkinson declares he is a "new kind of physician," and he is. Revolutionary, in fact. Based out of Williamsburg, he's bringing healthcare to those who wouldn't normally be able to receive it without breaking the bank...giving the uninsured masses a reason to breathe a sigh of relief. He's also mixing this idea with an old one: house calls!

Happy first weekend of September - and happy Labor Day weekend, too, for our American cities! Let's take a look at what's been happening around the Ist-a-verse.

A reader sent us this horrible but all-too-familiar story:

I was on the 7 train riding from Flushing Main Street when a man sat across from me (a few stops before 82nd street Jackson Heights he got on) with a newspaper on his lap pretending to be sleeping. I glanced over and to my horror all his goods were in plain view. I did not react and I pulled out my cell phone and took a picture of him. He got really nervous and was rustling around; I then proceeded to call 911 as I was still sitting across from him and was giving a description of him as I was looking right at him. He got nervous and got off at the next stop which was 82nd Street-Jackson Heights.

2007_07_fdnycalenda.jpgEarlier this week, the FDNY Foundation, a non-profit that raises money for FDNY causes, released the 2008 edition of its popular Calendar of Heroes, featuring some of the Bravest's bare-chested hunks posing in all parts of New York City and thrilling many. But after the calendar crew appeared on the Today show, the eagle-eyed realized that cover boy Michael Biserta, of Ladder Co. 131 in Red Hook, was also featured in a Guys Gone Wild video, showing, as the Post calls it, "his God-given hose." So now the FDNY has decided to stop making the Calendar of Heroes. God, Joe Francis ruins everything!

Studying for the LSATs is nothing compared to stripping down for Playboy TV! The Daily News reports that Adriana Dominguez is getting a lot of attention for a naked romp that is circulating on the Internet. Dominiguez posed for Playboy TV's "Naked Happy Girls" - episode, "Rock Star and the Lawyer" (here's a link - definitely NSFW) - where she gets spanked and poses with gavels among other things. Though the show aired in January, a clip has been forwarded to law schools and law firms in the past month.

It seems like, all across the network, folks were up to no good. Maybe it was all the green beer from last weekend...

The pseudonymous Lux Nightmare burst onto the alt porn scene as a college student at Columbia where she launched the naked-guy-and-girl site That Strange Girl, featuring stills and video of herself and numerous other models who looked like they could be her fellow classmates. At a time when Suicide Girls and Burning Angel were coming to prominence, That Strange Girl (who, full disclosure, this interviewer posed for) was a homegrown, indie entry in the genre. Cut to the present, where Nightmare has since folded her XXX business and is a member of Gotham Girls Roller Derby, teaches sex ed to teenagers in East Harlem, and runs the smarty-pants sex site Sexerati, where she conducts interviews, explores Dating 2.0, and explains terms like "the pink ghetto." (Warning: many of the links in this interview are NSFW.) Currently, the "non porn star" is working on a book proposal about her time in the alt porn trenches.

Michael Riedel has double-the-entendre fun with his rumor-laced news that the London revival of Equus – yes, that Equus starring the Harry Potter kid naked as a jaybird – is going to Broadway! According to Riedel’s sources, “one problem, though, is the length.” Wait for it... Wait for it... “Of the play, people, the play!” But producers seem cocksure, despite a couple small problems regarding young Daniel Radcliffe: “Where he comes up short (at least in one instance) is in the sex-appeal department… he's bulked up. But he's surprisingly asexual, my spies say.”

Whoa-- that was quite a night. If, like us, you've just woken up with a pounding hangover and a foul sugar-coating covering your tongue, we sympathize. Here are some highlights to remind you of how you spent the night-- add yours in the comments if you want us to link to them.

Celebrate Ben Franklin's 300th birthday with the Bikini Bandits and Phillyist! (NSFW). Speaking of Mr. Franklin, send in a picture of Ben (or Ed Rendell) with a red tongue and win a free t-shirt. And they might have the next YearlyKos in Philly.

If Flickr hasn't already sucked away all your free time, you might want to check out the Selfportraitr (get it?! no E!) show at the Pace/MacGill gallery this week:

Bucky at Animal has the scoop on an exhibit of photographs with the late Harold Hunter. A skateboarder and an actor, Hunter died in February, and these photographs will be sold in a silent auction to benefit the Harold Hunter Foundation, non-profit to promote skateboarding to underprivileged inner-city youth. Bucky has shots of some of the photographs which are "as diverse and as wild as Harold’s crazy ass was" (including ones with a "younger Rosario Dawson and a very NSFW photo of Harold in Japan").

Fans of urban exploration photography and naked women, rejoice, for your day has finally arrived! Naked City Spleen features dozens of pictures of Miru Kim posing in front of various urban ruins, including but not limited to the recently destroyed Greenpoint Terminal Market and the very-soon-to-be-leveled Red Hook Sugar Factory. And lest you think this is just about cheap thrills, Miru has a long essay explaining the project:

Apparently we weren't the only one's pushing boundries today. While we only showed a photograph of the aftermath of an accident, a tipper points out that 1010 WINS has chosen to go full out snuff.

- An off-duty cop fighting with a group of "thugs" was shot early yesterday morning by another police officer.

One of our readers left us a link to the picture above on our Contribute page, along with this comment:

Two men from Ghana were arresed yesterday after authorities discovered 136 pounds of heroin concealed in a shipment of pottery. Officials said the street value (we just love when they tell us the street value) of the heroin is more than $6 million and it's one of the largest shipments in recent memory. Clearly the two men should have thwarted the cops by saying that they intended to do all 136 pounds themselves with no intent to distribute at all.

There are many great photographers working online in NYC right now, but few are as viscerally disturbing as Boogie. He specializes in taking pictures of the hidden side of the city-- gangs, prostitutes, drug users, Hasidim. Sometimes the photos he puts up are hard to look at-- sometimes they sort of make us sick. To pick a few captions at random: "Martin and Ruben smoke crack in Martie's apartment; Bushwick, Brooklyn." "Perla, seconds after shooting up heroin." "Young dealers hanging out on the benches, smoking marijuana." Even so, we can't get enough of his shots-- in ten years, they're going to be putting his stuff up in the museums.

It's going to be a slow week in music. American Analog Set are playing Joe's Pub, but that sold out before it went on sale (download an AAS/Kelly Clarkson mashup). Sick of it All and The Bouncing Souls are playing CBGB benefits, but good luck getting in to those (see what it will likely look like inside). Louis XIV are at Irving Plaza. You're definitely too cool to go to that (watch a NSFW video). Even uncooler would be showing up at a Bush side project, or either of the two sold out nights Our Lady Peace are at Bowery Ballroom (tix on sale for a 3rd show at Webster Hall). You don't go to Jersey and you don't go to venues that hold more than 1000 people, so count out (best band on the planet) Green Day's show at Giants Stadium and the Coldplay/Rilo Kiley one at PNC Bank Arts Center (where Alice Cooper is playing tonight). Looking for a free summer show? A jam band is playing South Street Seaport on Sunday (like Ted Leo did on Friday), and as of Thursday we're into September.

This morning, a protest group, Operation Sybil, had members rappel down the side of the Plaza Hotel and display a huge anti-Bush banner. Gothamist received some photos that the intrepid Lucie Eber took before the protesters were arrested. Hopefully more details will emerge on how this was orchestrated, because we're curious if they needed to reserve rooms or just walked into the hotel and made their way to the roof. It's just really stunning.
