Peter Bart Hearts Heidi Fleiss

Defamer points to Peter Bart's sorta-rave review of the upcoming Heidi Fleiss doc: "Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal."

"When Heidi refused to talk to Bailey and Barbato any more, Sheila Nevins stepped in to shoot the interview and did an impressive job. There Heidi is, on camera, speaking insightfully one moment and incoherently the next, explaining her weird view of life. In one moment she is comparing herself to Alexander the Great ('I, too, conquered the world in my twenties – the sex world'), then she’s talking about her 'three years in lesbian hell' (jail)."

[Ed. note: What the fuck? Is every post today going to be about prostitution? At this rate, maybe.]

New Heidi Fleiss Doc Screens This Summer

"Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal" debuts this summer. From Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato at World of Wonder, the madam doc makes its world premiere on Thursday, June 26, at the 2008 LA Film Fest. On July 21, HBO will air the movie as part of its summer Documentary Film Series.

"Infamous Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss loves keeping exotic birds because Alexander the Great did, but unlike Alexander, she made it out of her 30s alive. With the same humor, sympathy and clarity that animated The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato follow Fleiss on her long, strange trip through the Nevada desert, into local politics and her burgeoning affection for those birds as she attempts to mine prostitution gold again by opening Heidi’s Stud Farm, the first legal brothel for an exclusively female clientele."

Since it's from the guys who brought us "Inside Deep Throat," I can't imagine it's an accident the movie is 69 minutes.

Previously, Radar reported Fleiss is supposed to be a cast member of the second season of "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew." "If I want my Vicodin I'm going to take my Vicodin. And if I want a little of that crystal meth..." she said.
