Star’s penthouse club debauchery
What do you get when you mix a party-loving footy great, two friendly ladies and a jacuzzi?
Well, if you’ve got any sense, what you get are quality cleaning products for the tub.
Word has reached Deadline of one free-and-easy get-together in an opulent apartment complex hosted by a successful real estate agent.
The land rat owns a penthouse in the inner-city building and recently decided to hold a bit of a shindig with a few select individuals, one of them a footballer known for his abiding love of a good time.
The player did some socialising but soon spotted a couple of paid female guests relaxing in the bubbles and made a beeline to that area.
Now this bloke is not regarded as one of Melbourne’s great romantics so nobody who knows him would be too shocked at what we’re told happened next.
The footy ace — who has been in more than his share of hot water over the years — simply stripped off and posed a most crude question.
“Who wants to be first to f... the (rhyming nickname deleted)?”
A reliable source tells us one of the women answered in the affirmative and the new friends got straight down to business as other guests mingled.
Did somebody say White King?
Doc Bollywood on the roid again
Some years ago, Northern Territory Police made a song and dance about charging disgraced sports scientist Stephen Dank with a string of matters stemming from a stint of consulting work he did at an anti-aging clinic in Darwin.
Dank has never shown up to court, and a judge issued a warrant for his arrest in 2020.
The key witness is the doctor whose clinic he was working out of, Dr Satbir Aulakh.
Dr Aulakh, who is currently banned from prescribing steroids, was recently the subject of a glowing piece on the ABC news website about his side-gig as a Bollywood singer.
“I’ve been singing since I was three,” Dr Aulakh said.
“I’m known for being a doctor who can sing or who can perform.”
Dank, for one, must be hoping Dr Aulakh will keep quiet.
Let’s put this to sleep
There’s a Melbourne woman who has been making quite a fuss about being under threat of late.
She’s hit social media to complain about her safety being compromised by some sinister forces using truly awful tactics to make their point.
Deadline has been told there is another, less conspiratorial version of what happened.
That story goes that a man from down the coast had been travelling up to Melbourne for some regular night work in the entertainment industry.
A thrifty fellow, he had a range of spots where he would sleep to save on accommodation.
One of those was in a quiet street out the front of the said woman’s house.
We’re told that she got quite forthright with the man and told him to get out of the neighbourhood.
It’s alleged he then returned and did some damage to her car.
A bikie crackdown
Law enforcement bodies have in recent years taken to providing their own arrest footage to the media.
Legal reasons mean they are usually forced to obscure faces of those detained, though one way around that issue has been to video them from behind.
That method failed to provide coverage last week when a bikie was led from a house flashing what was later described by one observer as the Grand Canyon of builder’s cleavage.
Wrong suspect, same result
Police recently raided a home in inner Melbourne, expecting to seize drugs aplenty from a busy dealer.
They were not aware that their suspect had moved out some time ago but the new resident let them in, anyway.
As luck would have it, they found all manner of substances, including ketamine, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms and some as-yet unidentified crystals and powders.
Investigators also confiscated 10,000 vapes, a number of sets of electronic scales and a lot of cash.
He’s been charged over the haul.
