falconepenthouse.jpgHarbinger Capital manager Philip Falcone just bought the Upper East Side apartment previously owned by print porn publisher Bob Guccione. The spread, located on East 67th street, includes 22,000 square feet, a solarium, an indoor pool, a theater, a “dance” room, servants’ quarters and an auto-fellatio deck. Though Guccione had hoped to sell the place for $59 million, it sat on the market for nearly six years due to what Corcoran VP Leighton Candler called “an odd energy…Whenever people brought in children, they were ready to leave,” which would explain Jeff Epstein’s reaction upon stepping foot in the place several years ago as a potential buyer (he lept backwards as though the marble floor was made of lava and girls over 18), and comment, “not if you were giving it away.” Falcone ended up paying $49 million in cash, out-pimping (and royally pissing off) Dan Loeb, who only shelled out $45 for his new pussy palace.

    Bob G used to get more ass than a commode lid.
    Like Jerry Mathers’ TV mom used to say, “Ward….you were a little rough on the Beaver last night….”

    I went bareback with Debra Harry in that pool circa 1983.

    The place had a fucking solarium and the Moz didn’t buy it? THIS is how much the man is giving up by not taking his well-deserved package, and yet he still has to testify, even if in Florida? For shame!

    To whom this may concern which the Kabbalah Center is one who Bob and I have been with the center since 2,000. Since living in this house since 1999 there were never nude women running around, I have yearly family photos of nothing but family at gatherings that include my own UNCLE Richard Jaws Kiel a born again Christian who stayed with us many times. Who we gave a book release party too. Where the Rav and Karen Berg and son Yehda and Micheal Berg and many other Rabbi’s tended events at. If I keep hearing the word PIMP assoicated to my husband on and on since he is and was AN ARTIST before a publisher, who ran launched OMNI a title in which he was ever so proud of. The fact you could not sell the house is not due to negative energy, the house was always blessed by the Kabbalah center, are you going to tell me that they are negative I dont think that would be a wise move. It was at this house that teachers from the Center would come over and teach me and Bob once a week the studies of the Tohar in which I am still learning daily and both Bob and I support Kabbalah and its values and views. So next time I get wind of the word PIMP be ready to see me in court. Unless you have way of showing me that word in some other light other then sex, which my husband never sold, other than photo’s in a magazine which he is not and never will be a part of a gain it is darkness. The house, it was Kabbalistic, so you then tell me all my hard work in getting Bob to the Kabbalah Center was NEGATIVE!~NO It was the best thing that ever happened to him. He was given six months to live in 99 and he has beat cancer. So whoever is calling my husband a PIMP and or constantly using this term when speaking of him, watch your words. And I mean this with every inch of my blood. My husband was born an Artist and will die an Artist, who painted with Modiliani, Mattiese and Picaso. You know nothing of the real Bob Guccione nor will you ever unless you are a family member or friend. In which I dont let ANYONE near him who speaks of him in this manner.. There are many people who will NOT sit back and allow such filth and trash to be said about him including 25 staff members who had been with Bob for years, who are all Christians as well, who loved Bob who would stand up in a court of law and tell the world just how wonderful a man Bob is and how it was never a place of porn inside 67th ST. People always just assume, and assuming then using the word PIMP to describe will be your down fall. You seem to just not realize that it is not so easy to sale any home while in a resstion now a depression due to past administration dont blame others, no one not even ones who own trailers can get the amount they deserve. You have made me sick but it takes one scan of the 72 names of GOD and then I will be just fine, Kabbalah Kabbalah Kabbalah… Go to the center and study, you need it! Mrs G PS: And the bricks on the walls by the pool had you asked or thought too had been indivdually rapped sent from Italy each brick place as if it were being done for the Vatican, so whoever chose to destroy a work of art, I find to be insane, The statue’s with Bob and Kathy face ingraved was a gift from the artist who did all the marble pillars, under the VARA act these cant be destroyed so it may be not a bad idea to find out if you have destroyed them. That will not sit well in the art world, its not legal to destroy art, and if you have then consiquences may follow. I have typed so fast my name may be misspelled I did not have nor do the time for this…
