From Gawker:


Investment adviser Ken Starr was arrested Thursday for allegedly defrauding a long list of Hollywood stars like Uma Thurman. And the story keeps getting better (trashier): His wife, Diane Passage, is a former Scores stripper and pole dancer.

Starr—not related to the Clinton prosecutor with the same name—was arrested on Thursday alongside former Manhattan borough president Andy Stein and accused of running a
Ponzi scheme on a client roster drawn from Hollywood, major league sports, and Wall Street (Martin Scorsese, Wesley Snipes, and Annie Leibowitz are all former clients, and Uma Thurman was named in the criminal complaint).

According to the U.S. attorney, Starr funneled money to his son and his wife—
Diane Passage, who just so happens to be a former Scores stripper and pole dancing enthusiast.

Passage is the founder of a group called
Pole Superstar, which puts on a pole dancing competition.

Its mission is to "recognize the increasing interest in pole dancing as a sport, fitness activity and art form, worldwide." She has also guest-blogged at
