"doing something lewd?" Lewd was when, when Clinton once went there! But first you have to know Brazil's admen: In 1995: "The world's richest man, Bill Gates, and the world's luckiest hooker, Divine Brown, are both doing commercials for Brazilian TV. Brown, who was "discovered" while working in a white BMW, is promoting Valisere lingerie. "If you don't want your man looking for someone else," she says in the ad, "If I were you, I would use Valisere." (She was paid US$ 30,000 for this ad) Gates is shilling for Unibanco's online personal-banking services. "Wish my bank had thought of that," he says. (It is said Gates did it for free) Also in 1995: A photographer caught your next president in a difficult position where her white underwear appeared. The admen wanted to use in a billboard for Valisere lingerie! The US embassy came out on then, with the diplomatically equivalent of pack of wolves defending the wife of the then president. ABOUT DIVINE BROWN: Divine Brown (born Estella Marie Thompson, 9 August 1969) is an American sex worker who gained considerable public recognition in 1995 when Hugh Grant, a British actor, was caught receiving oral sex from her in a car on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard. Both Brown and Grant were arrested, and considerable damage was done to Grant's public image. In the ensuing publicity, she appeared on a number of television shows, including The Howard Stern Show and Danny Bonaduce's short-lived Danny!. In 1996, she played herself in a film based on the incident, Sunset and Divine: The British Experience by Ron Jeremy.[1] In all, she is reported to have earned $1.6 million from the publicity, though she was rearrested in Las Vegas in September 1996 for prostitution and loitering.[2] She made further appearances after her second arrest, on Joey Buttafuoco's cable access show in 1998 and on Judge Judy in 1999, [3] and on the Danish documentary series Negermagasinet in 2005. She was also the subject of an X-rated biopic Million Dollar Hooker in 2006,[4] and on Hollywood Lives, an ITV television series.[5] Ms Brown, real name Stella Marie Thompson, said the money she earned from interviews and endorsements after the infamous 1995 interrupted dalliance has allowed her to put her children through private school and buy a four-bedroom house[2]
