High Line Standard Hotel

High Line Standard Hotel

Standard Hotel New York Has Become A Tourist Attraction: HOTEL bosses are forcing cheeky guests to cover up after their sexy antics became a tourist attraction. The plush Standard Hotel, in New York, is renowned for its huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Naughty … guest towels down But shameless visitors have been using the unique feature to give passers-by an eyeful.

Guests have been spotted romping, drying off, pleasuring themselves and even shooting PORN FILMS in full view of onlookers. The exhibitionists have even launched a Facebook page to brag about their sordid pastime. Now red-faced managers are demanding guests keep their curtains closed after a series of complaints from neighbours. A spokesman for the hotel said: “The hotel has always been sensitive to the concerns of its friends and neighbours. “We will make a concerted effort to remind guests of the transparency of the guest room windows.” Brit Peter Jennett, 49, said: “It would be shocking in London but New York is all about showing off.

There’s something altogether unsavory about including the phrases “Meatpacking District” and “exhibitionism” in the same sentence, but that’s life in the big city. In other words, that’s how they do things in New York - the Big Apple, the land of movie stars, potholes and scores of debt consolidation and debt management customers. Certain people love to do their little turn on that giant catwalk. The Standard Hotel in New York has drawn some controversy for the way some of their guests leave nothing to the imagination of pedestrians walking by. According to the New York Daily News, the windows are floor-to-ceiling and they face the newly opened High Line Park, where foot traffic is high. Certain guests put on shows for passers-by, clothing optional and curtains open wide.

"Working Girl" star Melanie Griffith is in rehab again, her publicist confirmed to Star magazine. Griffith, 52-year, checked into Utah's Cirque Lodge Rehab Facility, the previous temporary home of Lindsay Lohan and Kirsten Dunst. While her publicist cited Griffith's "commitment to stay healthy" as the reason for her admission, FOXNews.com's Pop Tarts learned that she checked herself in part because husband Antonio Banderas, 49, would have no more of her erratic behavior.

One possible example? Someone who had recently worked with her told Pop Tarts that Griffith "had a multitude of crazy demands, including insisting everything around her, from the food to the flowers, be yellow." So that would make her diet lemons, bananas, and ... what else, yellow squash? We're not sure what the color scheme is at Cirque Lodge.

Melanie Griffith has checked into a rehab facility, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. "She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy," says her rep Robin Baum. "This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago."
