A fight between four employees at a strip club in the city’s west end turned bloody early yesterday morning, leaving three in hospital with minor wounds and one woman charged.
Police say the women are co-workers at Club Paradise on Bloor Street West near Lansdowne.
The fight began between two of the women inside the club around 2:30 a.m., just after closing time, police said. When the other two employees intervened, the fight escalated. One of the four women allegedly pulled out a knife and slashed the other three women.

Toronto Strip Clubs: ‘Chloe’: What happens when wife tempts husband?
March 24th, 2010 · No Comments
… I’m dealing with questions of repressed desire,” said Egoyan, as he pours himself a cup of hot tea in a conference room at the Prescott Hotel. “There are sexual outlets that are discovered that aren’t necessarily going to be helpful to the character’s well-being.”
“Chloe” is based on a 2003 French film, “Nathalie,” and is produced by Ivan Reitman, known for big-budget comedies. Yet the film becomes entirely Egoyan’s, from the eye-popping look (production designer Phillip Barker, cinematographer Paul Sarossy), to the tortured feelings of guilt, to what Egoyan calls “mad love. We bend ourselves out of shape when we think we need to be with someone.”
Egoyan tells much of the story visually using glass and mirrors (reminiscent of the two-way mirrors in the strip club setting of “Exotica”) with his characters desperately trying to dig under their obsession’s surface image.

TORONTO – Amanda Seyfried says she found it “nerve-racking” to shoot a love scene with veteran actress Julianne Moore for the new Atom Egoyan movie “Chloe.”
“All this kind of intimacy on screen and in movies is just not natural,” Seyfried, 24, said during a round of interviews at last September’s Toronto International Film Festival. “It’s not natural.”
Seyfried plays the titular character in the film – a young Toronto prostitute hired by a doctor (Moore) to seduce her husband (Liam Neeson), whom she suspects of infidelity.
Chloe reports back to the doctor after each encounter and a perilously sensual relationship between the two women follows.

Toronto Adult Entertainment: Director Atom Egoyan talks remakes, marriage, and "Chloe"
March 24th, 2010 · No Comments
AE: It was the study of a marriage. I thought it was a challenge to deal with this issue and this script that was written by a women, dealing with this very specific issue of a woman who feels she’s disappearing, and the crisis that it brings on in her, but also the very extreme action that she takes as a result. She wants to prove her husband is having an affair, and there are other ways of doing that than hiring a prostitute [laughs]. What she wants to do is not just prove he’s having an affair, but re-eroticize an image of him. because she can’t do that herself. There is something that Chloe’s stories are eliciting in her that she’s finding very compelling, and it’s a reconnection with her husband, a connection she once had. Unbeknownst to her, I think Chloe is finding it very powerful telling these stories to her of these encounters which she actually is having, though not necessarily [exactly as she is describing them]. It’s basically the story of these two women’s fantasies colliding in ways that they aren’t necessarily aware of.

Toronto Adult Entertainment: The erotic thriller Chloe
March 24th, 2010 · No Comments
As a poor man’s Poison Ivy (now there’s an unlikely formulation), Chloe is stock erotica gussied up with a top-shelf cast, name-brand director, soft-focus lighting and contemporary, often translucent set designs. Otherwise, it’s a Skinemax refugee whose art house aspirations cannot compensate for a hammy, surprisingly tepid script that is high on titillation but low on dramatic tension.
When Catherine (Julianne Moore), a Toronto-based gynecologist (shades of Dead Ringers, or Eyes Wide Shut, for that matter), suspects her husband, David (Liam Neeson), of cheating, frustration leads her to enlist the services of a call girl, Chloe (Amanda Seyfried), to seduce him and report back her findings. Chloe soon begins regaling Catherine with the lurid details of their trysts. Inevitably, the motives of Catherine and this doe-eyed Lolita become more complex and suspect.

Interview: Chloe’s Amanda Seyfried
Committing to a role like Chloe is no easy decision, particularly for an actress who is well known for being part of comical and family-friendly films. In Chloe, Amanda Seyfried stars as the titular character, a young prostitute hired by an older woman (Julianne Moore) to tempt her husband (Liam Neeson) to reveal whether or not he has extramarital tendencies.
Nothing like Karen from Mean Girls, Sophie from Mamma Mia! , Sarah from Big Love or Needy from Jennifers Body, right? Well, thats kind of the point. Seyfried is well aware of the inclination of young actresses to take on roles that are merely versions of themselves and was thrilled about the opportunity to color outside of the lines–way outside the lines.
But even while taking some risks, Seyfried certainly has her head on straight. She admits to taking her work home with her, Mamma Mia! co-star Dominic Cooper in particular, but shes determined to follow in the footsteps …

Toronto Adult Entertainment: Chloe gives erotic thrillers a good name
March 24th, 2010 · No Comments
Julianne Moore plays Catherine Stewart, a successful gynecologist who can rattle off the physiological definition of an orgasm but becomes increasingly mystified by the role of desire in her home life. Her husband, David (Liam Neeson), a music professor, commands a rock star following and flirts shamelessly with young hotties at bars and lecture halls. Meanwhile, their piano prodigy son, Michael (Max Thieriot), has become sexually active. He confides in David while literally shutting his mother out of his life.
Catherine can’t help but notice she’s not getting any younger – her male colleagues squire about their trophy girlfriends (one of whom attends a dinner date in what might as well be a negligé). Plagued with insecurities about her role as wife, mother and lover, Catherine has a chance encounter in a ladies’ room with Chloe (Amanda Seyfried). The beautiful call girl responds a little too ardently to Catherine’s passing act of kindness.
