Larry Flynt Biography Girl Friend.

Larry Flynt Biography Fashionshow video Current News Profile Girl Friend wife Children Nude Relationships Imdb Family Pictures Wallpaper Online Video.


Date of Birth : 1 November 1942, Salyersville, Kentucky, USA
Birth Name : Larry Claxton Flynt Jr.

Mini Biography :
Born on November 1, 1942, Larry Flynt was raised in Lakeville, a small isolated community in the hills of Magoffin County in eastern Kentucky. He had a sister named Judy who died in 1951 from leukemia at age five, and a brother, Jimmy, born in 1948. His parents separated when he was ten, and he moved with his mother and brother to Hamlet, Indiana.

Flynt ran away from home at age 16 in 1958 and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Discharged a year later, he took odd jobs as a farm picker, dishwasher and manual laborer. Moving on to Dayton, Ohio, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1960 and worked as a radar operator on the USS Enterprise until October 1962. After his discharge in 1964, he was married for a time while trying to open his own bar in Dayton, selling his own moonshine whiskey; he also opened another bar that same year. His next experiment in strip clubs proved more of a success, in particular the Hustler Club which opened in 1968.

By 1971, Flynt owned a statewide string of Hustler strip clubs, in Dayton, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati and Akron. During that period he had affairs with three strippers, resulting in a child by each of them. By 1973 he owned eight Hustler clubs with annual incomes between $75,000 and $100,000 each. Wanting to expand his empire, he decided to publish his own girlie magazine, "Hustler", named after his clubs. The first issue came out in July 1974 and was instantly a hit, owing to its detailed pornographic descriptions of women. After a few months, however, sales dipped to a low point, resulting in bankruptcy by 1975, although candid photographs of a nude Jacqueline Kennedy--at that time Jackie Kennedy Onassis--published in August 1975 put Hustler back in the national spotlight.

Flynt's controversial and unconventional ways earned him both respect and hatred from various individuals and organizations, including many feminists who found the articles in Hustler misogynist, offensive and demeaning. He continued having illicit affairs with various women, including a model named Althea Leasure (1953-1987), who he married in August 1976. Charged in February of 1977 with obscenity and organized crime ties, he was taken to court in Cincinnati where he was convicted of all charges, although the verdict was later overturned on appeal due to allegations of prosecutable misconduct and judicial and jury bias.

Flynt's legal hassles brought him to the attention of Ruth Carter, sister of President Jimmy Carter, who inspired him to make a career turn. Becoming a born-again Christian, Flynt soon included religion in his Hustler issues, which infuriated Christian and religious fundamentalist groups. He abandoned his faith in March 1978 when he was shot by a sniper outside a courthouse in Lawrenceville, Georgia, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. With daily death threats against him, and the police both unwilling and unable to protect him, Flynt moved his publishing company from Ohio to Los Angeles at the end of 1978, living in a huge mansion in Bel Air with Althea. Wracked by constant back pain from internal injuries as a result of the gunshot wounds, and confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he lived almost as a recluse, seldom venturing outside his house unless accompanied by several burly, armed-to-the-teeth bodyguards.

Addicted to painkillers, Flynt took Valium, Percodan, Percocette, Librium, Demerol, morphine and Dialdud pills and injections on a daily basis. In 1980, Flynt suffered a near-fatal stroke caused by one of several overdoses of his analgesic medications; he recovered but has had speech pronunciation difficulties since. In 1983, he underwent the first of a series of DREZ laser surgeries on his back to repair the damage to the nerve center around his bullet wounds (the second was in 1987, the third in 1994), which slowly cured him of his back pain and his painkiller addiction.

Flynt continued his practice of bringing lawsuits against various parties, one of which, in November 1983, involved his ownership of a videotape showing the real nature of the arrest and entrapment of car entrepreneur John DeLorean for drug trafficking. Flynt then (and to this day) refused to disclose how he came to acquire the videotape and was sentenced to 15 months in a mental hospital for contempt of court. During his stay in the hospital, he was clinically diagnosed with the mental bipolar disorder which is responsible for his unpredictable verbal outbursts and fits of rage in which he remains on medication to this day. That same month, Huster magazine published an article lampooning Christian fundamentalist Jerry Falwell, a longtime opponent of Flynt's polices; the article portrayed Falwell as a drunkard who had committed incest. Flynt was flown to Virginia in December 1984 after Falwell filed a $45-million civil suit against him. After a week-long trial, a jury ruled that Flynt was not liable for the article, but published it deliberately to cause emotional distress, and awarded Falwell $200,000. Flynt took his appeal against the verdict all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in December 1987, and the verdict was overturned two months later.

Flynt's marriage to Althea deteriorated when she was diagnosed with AIDS in 1983, aggravated by her drug addiction. She died in June 1987 at age 33 from drowning in her bathtub following a heroin overdose. Flynt continues running his publishing company, Flynt Publications, in Los Angeles, and to this day is both hated and admired by many.

Kate Gosselin Profile and Full Biography 
Kate Gosselin was born on March 28, 1975 in Hershey, Pennsylvania as Katie Irene Kreider. She was the second child of Kenton and Charlene Kreider. She has three sisters – Kendra, Rissa, Chris and a brother Kevin. Kate Gosselin attended the Reading Hospital and Medical Center in Pennsylvania, where she later worked as a registered nurse in labor and delivery.In 1997, Kate Kreider met Jonathan Gosselin at a picnic. The couple got married on June 12, 1999. Kate Gosselin soon found out she had a common health disorder called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), making her unable to conceive children. The couple sought infertility treatments and welcomed twin girls Cara Nicole and Madelyn Kate in 2000. Four years later, Jon and Kate Gosselin decided to add members of their family and had another set of infertility treatments. By May 2004, the Gosselin’s welcomed sextuplets Alexis Faith, Hannah Joy, Aaden Jonathan, Collin Thomas, Leah Hope and Joel Kevin.
With eight kids to take care of, Jon and Kate Gosselin found their family being featured in the NBC reality show “Home Delivery” in 2004. The following year, the Gosselins were featured on the Discovery Health special entitled “Surviving Sextuplets and Twins,” followed by another one-hour special “Surviving Sextuplets and Twins: One Year Later” in 2005. Jon and Kate Gosselin signed with Discovery Health for their own show called “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” which first aired in April 2007. Two seasons later, the show moved to the TLC.In April 2009, aside from filming the fifth season of “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” Kate Gosselin and her family appeared in a TV special entitled “Jon & Kate Plus 8 Go Green!”

Kate Gosselin is also a successful author, having released the 2008 book “Multiple Blessings,” which entered the New York Times best-sellers list a week after its release. She also co-authored the 2009 book “Eight Little Faces” and is scheduled to release her first cookbook “Love is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories” on October 13, 2009.Jon and Kate Gosselin filed for divorce on In June 22, 2009, the same day the episode wherein the couple announced their separation was aired.About Kate GosselinKate Gosselin was no June Cleaver, yet she was no Peg Bundy either. The Type-A personality was the matriarch of the Gosselin family and the star of the TLC reality series "Jon and Kate Plus 8" (TLC, 2007-09). Together with her husband Jon, twin daughters, and a set of sextuplets,
Gosselin showed the country what life was like with two sets of multiples. There were happy moments on the show, and there were not-so-happy moments, especially when Gosselin and her husband would argue - often in front of the children - onscreen. In June 2009, after Jon's alleged extramarital affair was made public and her own controlling, fame-hungry personality questioned, Gosselin filed for divorce at a Pennsylvania court. Over 10 million viewers tuned in for the special episode that aired that same day, proving that while Gosselin may not have been Mother of the Year, it was fair to say she was one of the more fascinating.

Katie "Kate" Irene Kreider was born March 28, 1975 to Charlene and Kenton Kreider in Hersey, PA at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. It was the same hospital where she later gave birth to her own sextuplets. On Oct. 5, 1997 she met Jon Gosselin at a picnic. The couple married less than two years later on June 12, 1999. After she was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, the newlyweds began infertility treatments. They finally got their wish on Oct. 8, 2000, giving birth to twin girls, Cara Nichole and Madelyn Kate. Three years after the birth of the twins, the Gosselins decided to have another child. This time, however, Kate carried not one, not two - but six babies.The sextuplets - three boys named Aaden, Joel, and Collin, and three girls named Leah, Hannah, and Alexis - were born on May 20, 2004. Discovery Health Channel took notice of the family's special situation - falling in love with the adorable Gosselin sextuplets - and featured them in the 2006 special, "Surviving Sextuplets and Twins." The audience could not get enough of the family, so a follow-up aired on the channel a year later, titled "Surviving Sextuplets and Twins: One Year Later" (2007).

Having a hit on its hands, TLC took over and turned the Discovery Health specials into "Jon and Kate Plus 8," a regular series which Jon and Kate narrated from the family's basement. While the children were shown playing and being kids, it was the couple who most often bickered on the show. Jon's easygoing attitude rubbed Kate's strict parental mindset the wrong way. There were also happy moments documented - from family trips to Disneyworld to the sextuplets' birthdays. With their children growing every minute and a production crew following their every move, the Gosselins moved from a modest home to an expansive $1.1 million estate in southeastern Pennsylvania.

It was not just the show that made the Gosselins top earners of the small screen. They became a media empire that extended to publishing and public appearances. In 2008, along with Beth Carson, they released the book Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets. In November of that year, Multiple Blessings made The New York Times bestseller list a week after its release. A year later, she released the second book, Eight Little Faces. Speaking engagements began with the couple and a few of the kids, but by 2009, Kate had done the majority of the public appearances. It was rumored that Jon stayed at home with the children, preferring not to share too much of their lives in the spotlight, while his wife relished all the attention.

More than 4 million viewers tuned in to "Jon and Kate Plus 8" each week and it was estimated the family earned $25,000 to $50,000 per episode, yet the growing tension between Jon and Kate visibly grew each season. In early 2009, rumors swirled that their marriage was on the rocks, and that both had had extramarital affairs. Suddenly, the show went from peeking in on a happy family to becoming a tabloid sensation overnight. The fifth season of the show opened with the sextuplets' fifth birthday celebration, with their parents' physical and emotional distance more apparent than ever. The Gosselins even conducted their interviews separately. By May of that year, almost every tabloid cover featured the couple's marital problems, with photos of Jon's months-long alleged affair with third grade school teacher Deanna Hummel brought to light.

The once-happy couple became media targets overnight, with her husband pegged as a womanizer and coward, while Gosselin was branded everything from a manipulative ice queen to a martyr. The Gosselin drama touched on the kids' lives as well, with an In Touch Weekly cover photo of Kate spanking Mady - combined with the headline "Caught Hitting Her Daughter" - selling for $75,000. The issue then went on to sell 1.2 million copies, outselling People magazine's annual "Hottest Bachelors" issue. During an hour-long broadcast on June 22, 2009, Jon and Kate publicly announced their separation on the very same day the couple had filed for divorce in a Montgomery County, PA court. The episode began with a storyline about building toy houses for their children, but by the end, Jon made the announcement everyone had been waiting for: "Kate and I have decided to separate," he said. "I'm not very fond of the idea, personally, but I know it's necessary," Kate added. "My goal is peace for the kids."

TLC hit ratings gold with the special announcement episode. An estimated 10.6 million viewers tuned in, beating the show's fifth season premiere by 800,000 viewers. The Gosselins kept the Pennsylvania house they shared with their kids and decided to take turns living there, ensuring that their children's lives were not greatly affected by their divorce. Just a few days after they filed, Kate went on a media tour, even telling People magazine, "I believe it is a chapter that would have probably played out had the world been watching or not." Jon, on the other hand, was spotted apartment hunting in New York City while his rumored younger girlfriend, Hummel, was reported to have a featured part in "Jon and Kate Plus 8" when the show returned in August 2009. TLC announced the reason for the short hiatus was to give the family space to regroup during a difficult time.

Eventually, the show's name was changed to just "Kate Plus 8," with Jon making infrequent appearances. He left the show some time in November 2009, which marked the season five finale. Meanwhile, she filmed a pilot for a "View"-like talk show called "Momlogic" with restaurateur Paula Deen, though Gosselin was summarily fired for allegedly being too controversial. She bounced back pretty quickly in early 2010 when ABC announced the new cast for season 10 of "Dancing With the Stars" (2005- ). Gosselin was among the 11 contestants that included Pamela Anderson, Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek, actress Shannen Doherty and NFL star wide receiver Chad Ochocinco.
