You remember her original pay-for-play act from the days when being a madam also meant having Wayland Flowers’ elbow up your ass–or maybe more recently, for sending actor Tom Sizemore into much-needed rehab and prison for fisting her in another way. But this time Heidi Fleiss is a sister doin’ it for herself. Fleiss says she’s had it with being a Hollywood madam and is instead moving to Nevada to open an all-boy banghouse in the desert. The convicted felon can’t get a legal brothel permit in the state, though, since being a con disqualifies you from operating a bordello by law. But apparently, she’s teamed up with Joe Richards, who operates two brothels in the state already to be her backer and permit-holder. We like her idea – up to a point. Heidi’s “stud farm” is to be populated with manly meat, but Fleiss pointedly told the press that her herd of men would be for women only. Fleiss was convicted in 1995 of money laundering and tax evasion related to a prostitution ring she ran in Hollywood in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.

AP Wire Stories: Fleiss plans makeover for Nevada brothel

Hey–we’re not the only ones questioning whether country star and from-the-neck-down hottie Kenny Chesney is one of Mary’s girlfriends. They said it, they said it, and well, now even People Magazine is belatedly asking, just a couple of months after Chesney’s very public, upcoming annulment from Renee Zellweger surfaced.

So, does People magazine have any real first-hand scoop on the kind of pieces Kenny normally likes to pick up? It’s barely but definitely acknowledged in a big interview this week with Chesney, totally coincidentally timed with launch of his new album.

With the press pouncing on the use of the word “fraud,” a legal term, as the grounds for the annulment, “they’ve done nothing short of calling me gay and her a whore. None of those things are true. I’m pretty firm in my sexuality and my love for women.”

Closet case closed? Maybe not. Chesney’s sign-off to the interview? “My mom told me that she loves me no matter what, and she just wants me to be okay,” he says.

Sounds like a coming-out party to us! You can read the full story if you’re a People or an AOL subscriber—or if you have 15 items or more in the checkout lane.
