Porn star is quizzed in cash-for-honours police probe

Source: London Evening Standard

An American porn star has been flown to Britain by detectives investigating the cash-for-honours investigation, it was revealed today.


Californian actress Courtney Coventry, 25, was questioned by police yesterday over her links with Labour's chief fundraiser Lord Levy. Mrs Coventry was introduced to Tony Blair by Lord Levy at a fund-raising ball at the Hilton Hotel in 2004.

She and her British-born husband John Coventry were invited to the event after claiming to be a real life Count and Countess.

Mrs Coventry - wearing a giraffe-print dress and bright red lipstick - was introduced to the Prime Minister as the Countess of Rozel, a title the couple had bought for a few hundred pounds.

From The Sun today:

Earlier this year Courtney — a former girlfriend of Playboy tycoon Hugh Hefner — told of her shock at how easily she and her husband duped Labour after they paid £1,000 for tickets to the swanky bash

:boring: :boring: :boring:

and that's important! we need to SEE the porn star, see?

isn't that good enough for you?

isn't it?

:eyes:

When this picture is so much better.

Doesn't bLAIR look rather pleased with himself....



BUT -- there seems to be some dispute as to whether Mrs. Coventry is even a Porn Star. It might simply be added flourish on the part of the Daily Mail to undermine the womans' credibility when they used it in the original story.

Labour organizers like Levy and Hogarth must have known they we're really 'royals'. (scroll to the very bottom for the guest list to Hef's 2004 New Years' Party)

datz a good vone <<-- California Gov voice overdub

But then I remembered that he's a prostitute, not a porn star.

How gullible is Blair and his cronies? Probably letting her treasures blind them.

twice in one thread?

you sure you intended this to go in LBN?

(fyi: the pic threads are usually found in the lounge)

Is that illegitimate? I thought it was accepted practice -- I mean, even Zonker did it. What's the scandal exactly?

election fighting funds, denied their existence, and then gave peerages to some of the lenders after saying no connection.

The man in charge of pimping for the loans was Lord Levy, Blair's chief Middle East 'envoy' who spent 18 months touting for support for the war against Iraq.

Since 1994 he has also been Blair's personal blind trust portfolio bagman - same as William Stamps Farish III to George W Bush.

totally different situation.
