Y’all are always saying “proof” please which is what I love about the bloggers here. However once again as I unraveled “gossip” to find the truth I found questions.
The last few days I have been digging deeper into Nikki Sixx and his Madame “friend”, Nici a/k/a Michelle Braun, and I find as I often do that when I write an article I have more questions then answers.
So here, goes folks, in 2006-2007 with pen in hand, Nikki Sixx writes a New York Times bestseller autobiography of his drug haze days in the 1980’s. Nothing very different then many hard rockers, party bands went through. Sixx’s book covers a full year in his life back in the 80’s when he did everything to excess. Motley Crue together in 2001 wrote “The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band” this was followed by Tommyland by Tommy Lee, September 13, 2005. Then came September 2007, and Sixx released his book “The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star” and it skyrocketed up the charts. Even this holiday season [2008] many of you said you got his book for one of your gifts and found yourself lost in his “honesty”. I have to admit I have not read the book. However, if one of you want to send me a copy, I will read it and see if it can be debunked like Cosby’s New York Times best seller or if it stands on its on as an autobiography of Sixx.
Mean while back to the Playmate, the Rock Star and the Madame, in Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Thomas Trent Lewis’s court on November 8 and 9, 2007 Donna D’Errico and Sixx were back in court to resolve the final division of their assets. The couple had been in “court off and on since September 2007 to resolve the final division of their assets, with the proceedings being conducted in spurts to accommodate everyone’s busy schedule”. Donna D’Errico had waived the famed Hollyweird alimony during the divorce and after and wanted to get on with her life with her children some accounts have reported.
In what to me appears to have been sheer brilliance Nikki Sixx was able to convince the court to hell with the fires, which were worse then normal in the L. A. area in 2007. In addition to hell with an ex-wife whose voice both days had been so hoarse, she was barely audible in court, per local media following the final chapter in the courtroom. In fact, to hell that D’Errico did not have a lawyer and had asked the court to grant a brief recess in the court proceedings to retain a new lawyer. Which would have been nothing new or even a stretch for Sixx and his lawyers to have agreed and supported D’Errico, the mother of Sixx’s youngest child in her request for a couple of weeks to recover and find new counsel. Nope some how Sixx got the judge to order Donna D’Errico to represent herself. Only in Hollyweird folks can people manage these feats of magic.
Then it gets really good, the witnesses, we have one of Sixx’s friends, Jonathan Roberts, testified that he spied on D’Errico and photographed her extensively on the Sunday, [November 4, 2007], before the hearing date of November 8, 2007 at Sixx’s request. It is reported that Roberts testified, “He saw her go to church, a restaurant, and a sporting goods store and walk up a long stairway at a beach.” Then retired sheriff’s Sgt. Thomas Stephens testified “he spied on D’Errico on behalf of Sixx on Wednesday November 7, 2007 a day before the hearing and that she left her home for six hours. When she returned, she smiled at him when he said “Donna, National Enquirer” as she parked her SUV”. So here we have an ex-wife who goes to church on Sundays, eats, shops and takes a walk, it is not clear if the retired Sergeant lost D’Errico or if he was just suppose to sit in front of her home. However, she appears to have been friendly and perhaps, in my opinion, showing humor as a national rag’s name was hollered out to her.
On Friday, November 9, 2007 after D’Errico passed out in a restroom from being ill the judge granted a continuance until later in November 2007 for her to get a lawyer and to get well.
Folks here is where it really appears that Sixx was able to weave some magic in court. This confessed heroin addict, hard rocker, going to rehab repeatedly since the 80’s for heroin and cocaine addiction says he was shocked, that’s right shocked, when a “Madame” [note picture above of Braun] told him, that D’Errico his former wife had worked as a prostitute and a stripper. Albeit he was not able to say if that allegation was before his marriage to D’Errico or after the marriage had split up. However, Sixx is quoted as saying; “I heard she was doing high-end call girl work, I was freaking out. Your head starts to spin. We have a child together”.
Remember, in this trip down the rabbit hole folks, that D’Errico had waived alimony; so how worried about his youngest child could Sixx have been for over a year? This “Madame” had allegedly confided this to Sixx when Sixx was on tour in the fall of 2006, per his testimony. What would you do during that year if you felt the Madame’s comments were true?
“Sixx said that when he asked the madame for proof, she gave him names and other information that led him to believe she was telling the truth. One of the names was of a man who he knew to be a Las Vegas pimp.”
Sixx’s book about his own turbulent times in 1986-87 when he almost died and sought treatment had already hit the shelves in bookstores and on the internet for sell.
One article stated that; “Sixx said he went into rehab again in 1999 and did another stay for 28 days in 2001. In the fall of 2007 on the stand, Sixx swore he had been sobered for more than six years”; however, what about now?
Nikki Sixx also made the allegations that Donna D’Errico was using cocaine and alcohol with him, and after their “daughter was born resumed using cocaine to control her weight.” The accounts of that hearing does not say if Sixx offered any proof other than his “word” about these new salacious accusations of his in court in 2007.
Am I the only one here left scratching my head and wondering how Sixx admitted to a long history of heroin addiction, being in and out of rehab centers for close to 20 years, but was now totally believable about the Madame, because he knew a pimp in Las Vegas?
So as a favor, could Nici the Madame have been sharing the shell game “rules” of where are the assets with her friend Nikki? Like I said with the SEC still looking into the “Madame” and a host of others in New York for hiding assets, is it possible that Sixx took a play out of the Madame’s book? Remember Nikki Sixx’s own friend testified that Donna D’Errico had been to church the previous Sunday, did anyone ask where Sixx was on that same Sunday?
Another set of questions, Sixx not only admits to being down the rabbit hole and into rehab over and over again for 20 years. However, did anyone produce an arrest record for his ex-wife showing she was a hooker? Did the Madame or the pimp show up in court to verify this? Can anyone show us a stint into rehab for Sixx’s ex-wife turned user with Sixx? For that matter, how many tickets does this mother have? Why did Sixx testified to something that he knew his youngest child would read one day? Was Sixx successful at the shell game of hiding assets or was he busted so to say?
You see like in most cases where I begin to dig, I have more questions about Nikki Sixx then answers, and yes, I know he has devout followers, just like the “deadheads” for another famous Rock band going back in time all the way to Woodstock. The next article will deal with Sixx’s book; how he admits he found the “lost diaries” years later; and his ghostwriter for his book as I try to find more answers then questions as I do more digging.

In the Island paradise of the Bhamas, another celebrity’s son dies from what appears to be an accident. I have to say memories of Anna Nicole Smith’s losing her son due to an accident comes flooding back to me.
It will take such a long time to recover from the lost of a child, none of us ever expect to outlive our children.
Like Anna Nicole Smith, John Travolata’s son, Jett suffered from seizures. So very very sad to die so young. Accidental deaths, are such a hard thing for any of us to accept, but espcially parents in my opinion.
Jett Travolata will be returned to the U. S. following an atuotpsy to determine the cause of death which as we all know from Daniel Smith’s death is standard in the Bahamas in any accidental death.
Another family celebrating, when the worse kind of tragedy imaginable strikes down a child, so very sad.

In one of the new cases we will be following in 2009, we have the first filings up on USA vs. Rod R. Blagojevich, his chief of staff John Harris as well as others at they become known to the government. There are seven of the first documents in this case for you to download to read and then discuss with us.
The two documents that caught my attention is the Indictment dated December 7, 2008, which you have not to mind obscene language at its worse to read the indictment. The other document I found interesting was the filing on December 29, 2008 by U. S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, of the Scooter Libby fame, filing to release the Intercepted communication relating to Rod R. Blagojevich to the Illinois State Senate for possible Impeachment Proceedings against Governor Blagojevich.
This is the first announcement of the new year of cases we have announced we will be following. As with all of our cases the downloads are opened to ALL not just members of Rose Speaks.com.
You can pick up the filings at the new URL for this case.

The alleged Hollywood Madame, Michelle Braun, said to be the new Heidi Fleiss of Hollyweird and the SEC. Why do those alleged Madame’s end up in federal court do you think?
Nikki Sixx’s friend has found herself in a heap of trouble from coast to coast, south, east and west; you have to be really trying to pull that off. In Hollyweird, she is being investigated as the newest Hollywood high price Madame allegedly with a stable of some of the hottest former Playboy Playmates eager for the right price to be seen with the rich and powerful at Hollyweird red carpet bashes or providing fantasies of the high-end kind.
Ms. Braun also known as “Nici” which you have to wonder if that is a playoff of the name of her “friend”, Nikki has found that the FBI took her computer address book of “clients” from her high-end fantasy business of “Nici’s Girls” when they raided her Florida home. Rumor has it that along with the emails and computerized version of the “Madame’s” little black book were pictures that many of her “friends” became queasy over or so goes the allegations. Among those good time photos are rumors of pictures of her snorting just a tad of white powder with Nikki Sixx. As with most of his fans, we hope that is not so, of course he could just come out with his drug days diary part 2 if needed. However, the FBI is not sharing exactly what all they carried off from Nici’s Florida home, just that is a bit to make a few of the rich and famous party group of Nici’s “friends” a tad nervous of what did those hard drives hold.
Then moving right up the coast to New York we have Ms. Braun involved with the SEC, those boys called the enforcement authority, which Congress allows to bring civil enforcement actions against individuals or companies found to have committed accounting fraud, provided false information, or engaged in insider trading or other violations of the securities law. Now that sounds a tad serious for the party girls of Nici, doesn’t it? In that case in the Federal Court of the Southern District of New York, right in Manhattan, Nici has found herself in a tad of a quandary, with all of her names. You can find her listed as Docket Case number 02-cv-03620 in the Receiver of Ashbury Capital Management LLC etc. sues for “Receiver of Property in Different Districts” [better known as the money and assets shell game if you get caught] vs. the alleged Madame, Michelle Braun also known as Nici also known as Michelle L. Fioravanti, Nici, Inc, Nici Enterprises, Inc. Nici Entertainment Group, L.L.C. collectively doing business as Nici’s World doing business as Nici’s Girls doing business as NYC Fantasies. Now that is a mouth full isn’t it, so the pun goes. I am sure it didn’t help that the judge died and things had to be put on ice for a bit, I mean put on hold. Do not even ask, Nici and Nici’s Girls’ high price “fantasies” had NOTHING to do with the sad demise of the federal judge. However, it did give Nici and friends a tad of respite before it was transferred to another judge ramped up and consolidated with about 10 other case docket numbers and in 2009 promises to move forward under the guidance of a combining of all of the cases that are involved in the Ashbury Capital Partners, L.P as umbrella cases.
The nutshell of this case, like with many involving shell games of moving the money and assets around and see who can find what and where, the filings read in part, “Plaintiff asks that the defendants, [Nici and Nici’s Girls in this case], provide an affidavit for the whereabouts of financial records and granting plaintiff partial summary judgment …for avoidance of certain fraudulent transfers.” It would appear Nici has more then fantasies to worry about.
Then you have the alleged high end Playmates who work for Nici, and it is getting right down nasty with the hurling of angry words of some alleging the horrid word of STD being passed around from a prominent client of Nici and one of her “fantasy of your dreams girls”. We are checking into those allegations before we name the party animal guy at the center of those rumors. That translates that we are checking our sources to be sure before stepping into some juicy New Year scandal.
Yes Nici and Nikki, the picture above of Nikki Sixx with Nici of Nici Girls had to be from happier days, sure hope the rumor about the photos on the alleged Madame’s computers of Nikki proves to be false, so here’s hoping Nikki that Nici will not take you down with her.
Stay tuned as we keep digging away at the rumors of the “alleged” Madame and the Rock Star, we promise more to come including a look at Nikki’s book, “The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star”, and it’s ratings after a boom of holiday sales.
We will also be covering the federal copyright case against two of the song writers from the band Three Doors Down and one of their “inner circle” take on those allegations this week.

Things become stranger as we see that Fox News in video shows that the area where the remains were found was dry in August. So why were they found on December 11?
This continues to bring the questions to me at least of when were the remains of Caylee Anthony moved and/or were placed where Roy Kronk, the meter reader, found them on December 11? No one is suggesting that Mr. Kronk had anything to do with the disappearance of Caylee Anthony. However, now with his attorney, David Evans, asking that Mr. Kronk receive the $250k and is “shopping” Mr. Kronk’s story around the networks, cable, media outlets, etc. it does give me cause to pause and think about the greed connected to this poor child’s death. Per MSNBC a statement by David Evans, Mr. Kronk’s attorney; “[The] meter reader who discovered the remains of Caylee Anthony plans to tell his whole story to the media sometime in the new year, Roy Kronk is evaluating his options for participation in various interviews, he has been approached by a variety of local, cable, and network media to tell his story”. Now again, I don’t think Mr. Kronk had anything to do with the disappearance of Caylee Anthony and as one of our blog members stated, let’s not lynch the hero in this story, we all need to remember what happened to Richard Jewell and the Olympic Park Bombing. However, Kronk’s lawyer shopping his story is just not cool at this time in my opinion.
However, it would appear that Mr. Kronk calling the Orange County Sheriff’s office three times in August now, with allegations that cadaver dogs and officers “had cleared the area” of any possible remains. We are now hearing the fact that the area was cleared by multiple searches in August might help the defense team of Casey Anthony.
A local network has also addressed the question of “How could so many people miss Caylee Anthony’s remains just 15 feet from the road and a mere 160 feet from her grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, home?” How did this happen? What answers are the authorities going to give us? Has anyone heard yet if the bones showed they had in fact been under water after tropical storm Faye hit that part of Florida? If not then where does the investigation go from here?
An EquuSearch volunteer adds more questions, and no one knows if she is a local volunteer working with the fame Tim Miller’s EquuSearch from Texas or if she is one of Tim Miller’s people. However, her statements just adds more confusion.
Which leaves me with the question, “Why Roy Kronk went back four times and had to go through the trauma of finding a skull on his fourth visit?” and “Why neither the police nor Mr. Kronk were able to find what Mr. Kronk felt was suspicious way back in August in three consequently calls?” I would think as the meter reader for that area in August it possibly played heavy on his mind as he drove that area daily of where that poor child might be found.
Which leaves a huge question, “When and who put the remains where they were located on December 11?.” Casey Anthony was in jail. Her parents were on a much publicized trip to California for the Larry King show and Lee Anthony has been under surveillance as well as probably many others that the District Attorney’s office might think could or would put the remains of this child where they could finally be found.
It seems the more I read and the more videos I see, the more questions I have. I guess we will have to wait until Roy Kronk’s attorney finds the right media or infotainment venue for his client to tell us the reasons he went back four times.
We are still working through the huge amount of paperwork being released by Orange County as well as the hours of videos available. Remember the documents on this case as with all cases are opened to All, not just members of Rose Speaks.com.

As if reaching out from the grave on this holiday season, Deborah Palfrey had one more surprise for the government that tried and convicted her as the D. C. Madame, the woman whose client list contained the who’s who of Washington D. C.
Ms. Palfrey left a Will that her Estate found in September 2008 among her belongings in one of the three properties she owned that is now in a Civil Forfeiture Suit where the USA is attempting to take all of the property as that of being ill gained and so by law belongs to the USA.
There was already a fight brewing between the government, Ms. Palfrey’s mother Blanch Palfrey her Executor, and an old lawyer of Palfrey’s by the name of Montgomery Blair Sibley. You might remember Mr. Sibley from another article I did about his pedigree and that “Blair House” where the Prime Minister of the U. K. lives is named after an ancestor of Mr. Sibley. Each in a three way corner, each quoting law in support of their claim to the “loot”, or parts thereof if the government loses in getting it all.
The Court in Washington D. C. had issued an Order several months ago for the sides to try to mediate a settlement between them and to keep the Court informed via filed Status Reports by the Estate.
Pulling those because something about this case I found haunting, and so I continued to follow it and read the filings to see who got the gold literally. Much to my surprise in the last filing for the year 2008, with the next one due on February 23, 2009, the Estate made a disclosure to the Court that must have made the D. C. Madame chuckle as she had set up her Estate including trust funds.
The D. C. Madame left EVERYTHING, all of the loot in a Trust Fund for “The Innocence Project”, whom has notified the Estate that that they intend to file in the Probate Courts that The Innocence Project will fight legally to see that Deborah Palfrey last wish would be followed.
“The Innocence Project” is a national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted people through DNA testing and reforming the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. On their home page they have a note up that because of them 20 people were clear in 2008 and are home this year to celebrate the holidays.”
The newest District Attorney for Dallas County, Texas, Craig Watkins in the first six weeks he was on the job took steps in what I hope will begin to sweep across Texas and other states, Watson has turned over all of his files from every felony conviction prosecuted in his County since 1970. He is doing this because he is concerned that innocent men and women may be in prison. Because of the steps taken by Craig Watson, Dallas County now leads the NATION in the number of inmates exonerated through DNA testing and a lot of hard work by volunteers.
In a statement shortly after taking office in 2007 Watson said, “I will make sure it never happens again. We are going to make sure everyone it has happened to in the past gets out of jail. My position as the new district attorney is to not only put the bad guys in jail, but to also be just and fair. It is my responsibility to bring credibility to this office” Watson is allowing The Innocence Project to go through 350 cases. This is being done by law school volunteers, who get no credit or pay for doing the work, they get something greater many of them say, the satisfaction of freeing someone wrongly accused WOW, what if every District Attorney’s office in our nation made the same pledge, could we bring “justice” back to the “justice system.”
I bet the D. C. Madame, a nickname for Deborah Palfrey that the press in Washington D. C. labeled her, might just get the last word, that of freeing the innocent, you can’t get better than that.
You can pick up all of the filings in this case, in our download section opened to ALL not just members of Rose Speaks.com.
In this “oldest profession” known to mankind, as the year ends we will not only look at Deborah Palfrey’s outcome but also turn our attention to Michelle Braun a/k/a Nici, whom many have said is the newest Heidi Fleiss to the hungers of California. I think you might be interested in Michelle Braun, where she is today and which Rock star she might bring down with her.
