May 5, 2006 -- THEY say money can't buy happiness - and in billionaire Mark Cuban's case, it can't even get him into Bungalow 8.

The limelight-loving owner of the Dallas Mavericks was denied entry to Amy Sacco's late-night funhouse, even after he offered door demigods Disco and Armin $1,000 to let him inside - a cringe-inducing ploy used primarily by tacky out-of-towners.

An eyewitness tells Page Six that Cuban, accompanied by party promoter Usman Shaikh and a few young ladies, was initially turned away after Shaikh approached Disco and told him that Cuban owned the Mavericks.

"Disco was not impressed," says our snitch. "One of the girls asked if Armin was there and if she could talk to him. Armin comes out and asks Cuban if he wants to buy a table. Cuban says yes. Armin goes inside, comes back about five minutes later and says, 'Sorry, there are no tables available. I can't help you.'

"The girl then asks if they could just go in without a table, but Armin says no. Cuban then says to Disco something to the effect of 'I'm Mark Cuban . . . What's it gonna take?' He offers him cash - I think it was a thousand bucks. He reaches in his back pocket, and at this point the girl he is with yanks him by the arm and says, 'No, you can't do that here.' She was mortified."

Cuban then announced that it was "embarrassing" he couldn't get into the club, at which point Shaikh, a corporate lawyer who promotes parties at Pink Elephant, convinced Cuban and his posse that they would receive warmer treatment there.

Once inside Rocco Ancarola's nightspot, located on the same crowded West 27th Street club corridor as Bungalow 8, Cuban was spotted chatting up several young women at his table. As he asked one hanger-on to round up some girls, he was overheard saying, "Just say I'm a billionaire. They'll come over." He also cracked, "For every billion dollars I have, my [bleep] gets 10 inches longer."

The last stop of the night for fun-loving Cuban and company was Scores West, where cash is by far the most important credential. We're told Cuban dropped thousands of dollars on champagne and "funny money" in the VIP room before leaving around 5 a.m.

Cuban did not respond to detailed messages for comment yesterday.

did you seriously just ask about what Mark's baby girl thinks about his bigger d*ck?

well, he's obviously very proud of it. I'm sure he walks around his mansion showing it off to anyone who cares to look.

MadApe, Page6 is just about the lowest form of journalism on the planet. You might as well be posting from the Weekly World News.

How sad for Marky Mark. I certainly hope there is no truth to this story. Not only does it make Cubes look like a baffoon, but it also will probably cause problems with the missus at home.

Do those club bouncers make so much that they couldn't use an extra grand or two?

dude1394 · 05-05-2006, 05:37 PM

I looked up the bungalow 8 and it seems the biggest claim to fame is not letting anyone but the in-crowd into the joint. I imaging that those bouncers woulda' lost a job if they let in a no-class texian into the place.

Oh the horror!

Post cans four gossip scribes
Freelancers out in scandal house cleaning
BY WILLIAM SHERMAN
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Jared Paul Stern
The New York Post's Page Six is terminating all freelance employees in a housecleaning triggered by the payola scandal surrounding the embattled gossip column.

Post spokesman Howard Rubenstein declined comment on the move except to say, "The editors will not discuss their internal management decisions."

Hints of a cleanup came last week when Post Editor in Chief Col Allan said in a published report: "We are going to tighten ship."

Freelance reporters Fernando Gil, Lisa Marsh, Christopher Tennant and Jared Paul Stern are the byline staffers who are being sacked.

Gil, Tennant and Stern declined comment. Marsh could not be reached.

All occupied the "fourth chair" in the line of Page Six desks manned by full-timers Richard Johnson,(author of the Cuban piece) editor and chief writer, along with Chris Wilson and Paula Froelich.

Stern, a Page Six contributor for more than a decade, allegedly tried to extort $220,000 from Ron Burkle, 53, a California supermarket billionaire, in return for "protection" from false items in the column.

Two face-to-face meetings last month between Burkle and Stern were secretly videotaped by the businessman. The matter is under investigation by the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office and the FBI.

In one exchange, Stern characterized Page Six as "a little like the Mafia, a friend of mine is a friend of yours."

Burkle had anticipated the shakedown after Stern sent e-mails to the businessman's aide, Kevin Marchetti. In the e-mails, Stern said he had a "strategy" for helping Burkle in Page Six's coverage of him.

Stern, suspended from The Post immediately after inquiries by The News, has claimed in a series of published interviews from his Catskills vacation home that he was set up by Burkle.

The News and other publications have subsequently reported that Page Six staffers, including Johnson, have accepted gifts and perks from column subjects and businesses. They include Johnson's bachelor party in Punta Mita, Mexico, hosted by "Girls Gone Wild" soft-porn king Joe Francis, and a trip he took to the Academy Awards paid for by ABC and Mercedes-Benz.

Additionally, Wilson was treated to a long-weekend junket in California's Napa Valley last June, courtesy of Jaguar North America.

The New York Times reported yesterday that about one third of more than 30 advertisers in the February debut issue Page Six Magazine were favorably mentioned in the gossip column in the last year.

Stern was the editor of the magazine, which is scheduled to appear again in September. In an April 2 e-mail to Marchetti, Stern seemed to be inquiring about his payment and noted his influence in the next issue of the magazine.

"was everything OK w/ the wire?" Stern wrote. "... forgot to mention a story on ron was proposed for the next issue of Page 6 mag, but think we can take care of it."

"According to a survey conducted by Pace University in 2004, the New York Post was rated the least credible major news outlet in New York, and the only news outlet to receive more responses calling it "not credible" than credible (44% not credible to 39% credible)"
