Melbourne, Australia - (Ass Mess): A new biography about the late Australian media mogul Kerry Packer says he made his fortune from pimping and promoted some of his top gals to worldwide stardom.
"Kylie, Nicole Kidman... these are just two of the talented specimens he nurtured before recommending their global launch in the entertainment business," says Paul Barry's book The Lies and Lies of Kerry Packer which promises to blow the lid on the Australian show-biz inudstry.
Packer's career allegedly began with his bankrolling of an Adelaide brothel where business and political associates were plied with top notch hookers.
Australian Prime Monster John Howard was Kerry's top customer during the early days of business and rewarded Packer after his death with a glowing eulogy at his 2005 funeral.
And Lord Levy's business associate, Australian shopping mall builder Frank Lowy, is named as the sleeping partner who guaranteed international political figures on official and state visits would always include a trip to Packer's brothels on their Australian itineraries.
"They had Kofi Annan, Bill Gates, Jacques Chirac, Nelson Mandela, Vladimir Putin and Prince Philip as their clients," chapter three alleges.
"Even Yasser Arafat was tempted to enjoy some of Packer's brothel hospitality and had such a good time there they couldn't shift him for a whole fortnight."
The Packer family has distanced itself from the book and said that the late mogul's business empire was founded on philanthropic ventures connected to the Global Piss Pircess.
