Bruce Willis was among dozens of celebrities named yesterday when the little black book kept by Hollywood madam Jody 'Babydol' Gibson was finally made public.
'Babydol' was convicted in 2000 of operating an international call-girl service, 'California Dreamin', across 16 States and much of Europe.Vice detectives claimed that she used Playboy models and porn stars to to fulfill her need to satisfy the appetites of big named clients.
Girls would charge up to $3000 for an evening.
Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones was another listed in records kept by the head of the prostitution ring.
In 2000, the trial set Hollywood running for cover for fear that prosecutors would release the names contained in her phone book and payment log, as well as other records.
However, the Los Angeles District Attorney's office successfully argued that the list of clients should be blacked out when the court records were made available to the public.
That changed this week with the release of Gibson's new book 'Secrets of a Hollywood Madam'.
A Los Angeles Times reporter scoured through court records and discovered that - with Gibson's legal appeals exhausted - the full text of her various entries were now available in their original untouched form.
According to the documents, as well as Willis and Jones, Gibson lists late film producer Don Simpson and the former lieutenant governor of Texas, Ben Barnes, as being among her big name clients.
The secrecy that surrounded the "trick book" during the trial led to accusations that then District Attorney Gil Garcetti was acting against the public interest to protect his influential friends.
That theory was given some credence yesterday with the revelation that two major contributors to his 2000 re-election effort were among those listed in Gibson's file: Guess Inc founder Maurice Marciano and 'Last Action Hero' producer Steven Roth.
Garcetti, who is now head of the Los Angeles Ethics Commission, said he could not remember the case when asked for comment.
A reporter called Roth on the mobile phone number listed next to his name in the file and put the accusations to him.
He responded "Is that right?" before hanging up the phone.
Punk star Jones told the Los Angeles Times he might have used Gibson's escort service.
"It's possible," he said. "I crossed paths with her back then. She was a madam, but if I remember right, she wanted to be a singer in a band."
Barnes was also contacted using a mobile phone number listed next to his name, but denied using the service.
"I have never met or talked to this broad in my entire life" he said.
Most of the men named have also denied being patrons and it is difficult to independently verify Gibson's claims.
Willis' attorney, Marty Singer, said: "The story is a complete fabrication. Willis doesn't know this woman. He's never even spoken to her."
Gibson, who was given three years in prison after being convicted of three felony counts of pimping, was released in 2002.
