Boldface Names Who Pay for Sex, Now at Barnes & Noble 36736

When you’re done talking about Hollywood “It” madam Heidi Fleiss, it’s time to turn your attention to Jody “Babydol” Gibson, the “California Dreamin’” prostitution chieftess whose 2000 arrest threatened to unleash the celebrity names in her clientele. But those names never surfaced, since all publicly available evidence in the case had the identities of the johns redacted. That was then.

But now, after all of Gibson’s appeals have expired, her trick book has been unsealed — and the names of Bruce Willis, Tommy Lasorda, Last Action Hero producer Steven Roth, former Texas lieutenant governor Ben Barnes (who claimed to have helped the sitting president enter the Air National Guard to avoid Vietnam service), and Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones are all in the public record.

It’s also worth mentioning: Gibson has a book, Secrets of a Hollywood SuperMadam, that comes out on Thursday. It also names the names.

Naturally, everyone is denying any affiliation with Babydol. (Well, except Jones, where officially it’s a “maybe.”) Through his attorney Marty Singer, Bruce Willis says he’s never met the woman. Lasorda’s camp is aghast Gibson would “accuse” him of such behavior. And Roth – who didn’t exactly deny it – answered the phone with a “Is that right?” and hung up.

As for Barnes? He directed all questions to the White House.
