Kristin Davis better known as "The Manhattan Madam" has some lofty aspirations. The lady who is most well known for being involved in former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer's prostitute scandal has decided to run for the job he failed so miserably at.
She will be getting a big helping hand from none other than 50 Cent who according to a report on Boombox.com has offered "some of his G-Unit rap crew to work the phones"
Don't think just because Kristen ran a prostitution ring she doesn't have the brains for the job.
At a Libertarian convention over the weekend where she made the announcement she said.
"I was valedictorian of my high-school class, I worked 10 years in finance. I was vice president of a hedge fund. I went on to build a multimillion-dollar business from scratch."
She is running a "taxation as confiscation" platform, advocating legalized marijuana and prostitution,
Her advisor is Roger Stone, who worked for Reagan, Nixon and both Bushes.

"Sexy" is a relative term -- one man's baby-makin' music might be his woman's soundtrack for a snoozefest. But there's nothing subjective about this list. These are, literally, the 50 most popular songs about sex ever, as based on each song's performance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (from August 4, 1958 -- the inception of the Hot 100 chart -- through the Jan. 16, 2010 issue). Some songs are steamy slow-jams, some are hi-octane arena-rockers -- but what they all have in common (and what got them on this list) is that the subject matter of each song is directly related to sex. No more, no less. Got it? Now let's knock some boots.
Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from each era, certain time frames were weighted to account for the difference between turnover rates from those years.
50
Urgent
Foreigner
Hot 100 Peak: 4 (9/5/1981)
Foreigner are best known for wanting to know what love is, but they weren't feeling quite as romantic on this 1981 hit about fulfilling carnal urges by whatever means necessary.
Sexiest lyric: "I'm not looking for a love that will last/ I know what I need and I need it fast"
49
She Bop
Cyndi Lauper
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (9/8/1984)
If you the want the job done right, sometimes you just have to do it yourself. Cyndi Lauper's celebration of masturbation caused some controversy, but the lyrics were vague enough to convince more clueless listeners that the song was about dancing.
Sexiest lyric: "Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar / I wanna go south n get me some more"
48
Sexy Can I
Ray J & Yung Berg
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (4/5/2008)
After his sex tape with Kim Kardashian hit the net a few years ago, R&B singer Ray J must've figured, why not make a song about it? "It's a Kodak moment, let me go and get my camera," the exhibitionist jokes on the track. Apparently, no price is too high to pay for sex for Ray J, even if it compromises his privacy.
Sexiest lyric: "Then we take it to the bed, then we take it to the floor/ Then we chill for a second, then I hit that a** some more"
47
Freak Like Me
Adina Howard
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (5/6/1995)
Raunchy singer Adina Howard might be the quintessential "lady in the streets but a freak in the bed." The R&B diva isn't ashamed to tell a man just how she likes it -- and how often she wants it -- and often refers to her sexual drive as in canine terms her. (Guess Snoop's not the only one who digs it doggystyle.)
Sexiest lyric: "Cause I will be a freak until the day until the dawn/ And we can pump, pump all through the night till the early morn"
46
Me & U
Cassie
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (7/22/2006)
It's her only hit to date, but "Me & U" was enough to establish Cassie as an object of many mens' affections. The 20-year-old singer boasts about her sexual IQ on the synth-poppy R&B jam and promises to teach her crush a thing or two between the sheets. She may sound a bit aloof at times, but teasing is apparently just one of Cassie's many talents.
Sexiest lyric: "I know them other guys, they been talking bout the way I do what I do/ They heard I was good, they wanna see if it's true/ They know you're the one I wanna give it to"
45
Wild Thing
Tone-Loc
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (2/18/1989)
Tone-Loc's career-defining single flipped the script on the Trogg's '60s hit of the same name. The gravely voiced rapper turned "wid thing" into a verb and slyly suggested that he and his prospects get busy over a sample of Van Halen "Jamie's Cryin."
Sexiest lyric: "Took her to the limousine still parked outside / I tipped the chauffeur when it was over, and I gave her my own ride"
44
I Want Your Sex
George Michael
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (8/8/1987)
You have to respect George Michael for telling it like it is. While other '80s pop stars masked their desires behind veiled references and innuendos, George tested the limits of censorship and told his prospective lover exactly what he wanted. Radio stations across the world flinched at his brazenness, but the song still shot all the way to No. 2 in the U.S.
Sexiest lyric: "Every man's got his patience, and here's where mine ends/ I want your sex"
43
Dim All The Lights
Donna Summer
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (11/10/1979)
Donna Summer's 1979 hit sounds like nice song to sway to at the prom. But the groove becomes decidedly horizontal once the song hits the bridge and she demands her lover to "use me all up / take me bottom to top." Bad girl, for real!
Sexiest lyric: "Don't leave even one drop / no, do it tonight / You know the moments are right / turn my brown body white"
42
Raspberry Beret
Prince
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (7/20/1985)
This Princely mid-'80s hit is a sly tribute to innocence lost, with the titular head-topper serving as a metaphor for a virgin's undefiled hymen. And you thought "Little Red Corvette" was racy.
Sexiest lyric: "They say the first time ain't the greatest/ but I tell ya, if I had the chance 2 do it all again/ I wouldn't change a stroke"
41
Rub You The Right Way
Johnny Gill
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (8/4/1990)
A man who offers to use his hands wisely during a night of lovin' makes for a very compelling pitch. It's no wonder then that former New Edition member Johnny Gill broke big with this new-jack swinging solo hit.
Sexiest lyric: "Can you feel the magic in my hands / When I touch and rub you the right way / Stroke applied with tenderness / When I hold and rub you the right way"
40
Slow Motion
Juvenile feat. Soulja Slim
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for two wks (8/7/2004)
His moniker might be Juvenile, but there's nothing infantile about the way the New Orleans rapper raps his sex game. While Juvie may not exactly be whispering sweet nothings in his girl's ear, he sure knows how to get her attention.
Sexiest lyric: "If you loving my bark let me bury my bone/ I got 4 or 5 bad merry b****es at home
39
Feel Like Makin' Love
Roberta Flack
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (8/10/1974)
The 1974 hit song for Robert Flack garnered the singer and producer three Grammy nominations, and sealed her place in baby-makin'-music history. Simple and to the point, this smooth groove was the gathering clouds for the future quiet storm revolution that would take over R&B a decade later.
Sexiest lyric: "When you talk to me, when you're moanin' sweet & low/ When you're touchin' me and my feelin's start to show"
38
Pillow Talk
Sylvia
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (6/9/1973)
You know you're on to something when your song is too sexy for Rev. Al Green. The soul legend reportedly turned down this steamy number before it was recorded by Sylvia in 1973, who was more than happy to spend a full two minutes panting, sighing and talking dirty in Spanish. ¡Caliente!
Sexiest lyric: "Ooh, I don't wanna see you be no fool/ What I'm teachin' you tonight/ Boy, you'll never learn it in school"
37
Pour Some Sugar on Me
Def Leppard
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (7/23/1988)
Today's arena-sized rockers just don't do clever come-ons like they used to. Def Leppard's fist-pumping anthem celebrating sexual release still stands as one of the '80s all-time greatest, with a chorus even your grandma can hum along to.
Sexiest lyric: "You got the peaches I got the cream / Sweet to taste saccharine"
36
Bump N' Grind
R. Kelly
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for four wks (4/9/1994)
There are two things R. Kelly doesn't see anything wrong with -- one of them is bumping, and the other is grinding. The baddest boy of R&B puts his sexual desires on front street on this steamy track, as he let's the woman of his desire know that he can bust her pipes better -- and more often -- than her current man can.
Sexiest Lyric: "See I know just what you want and I know just what you need, girl/ So baby bring your body to me"
35
Unskinny Bop
Poison
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (9/1/1990)
Before Bret Michaels started looking for his "Rock of Love," the Poison frontman preferred his ladies with as few strings as possible. Guitarist C.C. DeVille has confessed that the phrase "unskinny bop" doesn't really mean anything, but that hasn't prevented listeners from using their imaginations.
Sexiest lyric: "You're sayin' my love won't do ya/ But that ain't love written on your face/ Well honey I can see right through ya/ We'll see whose ridin' who at the end of the race"
34
Sexual Healing
Marvin Gaye
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (1/29/1983)
Marvin Gaye entered the '80s with this "do me" classic -- making him one of a handful of artists who helped men seal the deal over different decades. With its gospel-style chant and 808 drumbeat, the songs remains the template for contemporary R&B slow jams.
Sexiest lyric: "Baby I'm hot just like an oven/ I need some lovin'"
33
Love To Love You Baby
Donna Summer
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (2/7/1976)
Donna Summer's epic 16-minute orgasm, set to a thick, throbbing Georgio Morodor beat, helped usher in the 12-inch single and the extended remix -- not to mention many an extended bedroom session in the sexually-free '70s.
Sexiest lyric: "Do it to me again and again/ You put me in such an awful spin"
32
Lady Marmalade
Labelle
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (3/29/1975)
Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil' Kim and Mya rode this classic to seductive success in 2001, but Patti Labelle and co.'s tale of a bi-lingual New Orleans call girl -- and her ability to leave men crying for more, more, more! -- really dropped jaws in the '70s. It's more than enough incentive to bring tourists back to the Big Easy.
Sexiest lyric: "Voulez-vouz coucher avec moi, ce soir?"
31
Slegehammer
Peter Gabriel
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (7/26/1986)
This '80s smash by Peter Gabriel doesn't sound particularly sexy, but a good read of the song's lyrics will leave you flush-faced, as the British singer weaves a tapestry of sexual innuendos involving steam trains, honey bees and "big dippers." What, you thought it was about work tools?
Sexiest lyric: "Open up your fruitcage, where the fruit is as sweet as can be"
30
Work It
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (11/16/2002)
Missy's not afraid to break a sweat -- she just wants to know the size of the task at hand. If the eye-poppingly suggestive lyrics in this tongue-twisting booty call didn't register with listeners (those backwards verses can get confusing), the Prince impersonator licking her body in the video should have driven the point home.
Sexiest lyric: "You do or you don't or you will or won't cha / Go downtown and eat it like a vulcha?"
29
Slow Hand
The Pointer Sisters
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (8/29/1981)
The easy slide of this '81 ballad praises a man who knows how to take his time. The arrangement also lent itself to a country classic -- Conway Twitty made his own version, from the understanding man's perspective, a year later.
Sexiest lyric: "I want a lover with an easy touch/ I want somebody who will spend some time/ Not come and go in a heated rush"
28
All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You
Heart
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (5/26/1990)
Heart scored their first hit of the '90s with this song about a rainy roadside pickup and its ensuing, steamy one-night stand. The lyrics go on to reveal that the woman in the story winds up getting knocked up, proving that even in pop music, lusty affairs are not without their consequences.
Sexiest lyric: "So we found this hotel/ It was a place I knew well/ We made magic that night/ Oh, he did everything right"
27
Love In This Club
Usher feat. Young Jeezy
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for three wks (3/15/2008)
After Usher finished making his public "Confessions," the fancy-footworker took to making love in the club with R&B diva Keri Hilson, who plays his leading lady in the video for the bass and synth-heavy chart-topper. Isn't there anything that Usher prefers to keep behind closed doors?
Sexiest lyric: "Let's go get undressed right here/ Keep it up girl and I swear/ I'mma give it to you nonstop/ And I don't care who's watching"
26
Romantic
Karyn White
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (11/2/1991)
R&B diva Karyn White scored a massive hit in the '80s with this upbeat jam about what happens when the lights go down. The track was produced by White's then-husband Terry Lewis (and his partner Jimmy Jam), which certainly set some sparks ablaze in the studio.
Sexiest lyric: "Under the moonlight, with the stars shining so bright/ Baby, my mind is on love when we get home tonight, ooh"
25
Smack That
Akon feat. Eminem
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (11/4/2006)
Neither Akon nor Eminem may be the sexiest of symbols, but the playful harmonies and rhythmic melodies on this track had clubbers getting some action on the dancefloor. And for once, Slim isn't so shady on the song, as he raps about taking a girl back to his place instead of putting his alleged relationship with Mariah Carey on blast once again.
Sexiest lyric: "Maybe go to my place and just kick it like Tae Bo/ And possibly bend you over, look back and watch me smack that"
24
Ignition
R. Kelly
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (3/29/2003)
The king of freaky-deaky anthems hit his creative peak with this ode to automotive copulation. Sure, the metaphor gets so extended that it borders on cheesiness, but anyone who takes it too seriously probably isn't getting their gears greased often enough.
Sexiest lyric: "See, I'll be doin' about 80 on your freeway/ Girl, I won't stop until I drive you crazy."
23
Do Me!
Bell Biv Devoe
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (9/8/1990)
Bumping 'n grinding is all anyone wanted to do after hearing Bell Biv Devoe's "Do Me," although the song itself is something of a mind trip. "What makes you think you can do me?" the trio challenges, then promises that the girl can "do me when you wanna do me" in the next breath. Huh? Maybe BBD were were "Poison" ones after all.
Sexiest lyric: " Move to the Jacuzzi, ooh, that booty/ Smack it up, flip it, rub it down, oh, nooo!"
22
Freak Me
Silk
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for two wks (5/1/1993)
For the men of Silk, nothing is out of bounds when it comes to pleasing a woman. In the group's slow-burning ballad, one member whispers his proposal for 360-degree pleasure while the others seduce with suave harmonies about trips around the world and fulfilling every fantasy imaginable. Freakiness has never sounded so … comprehensive.
Sexiest lyric: "Let me lick you up and down, 'til you say stop/ Let me play with your body, baby, make you real hot"
21
Shake You Down
Gregory Abbott
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (1/17/1987)
This song's title is a euphemism for what Mr. Abbott wants do once he gets his woman in bed. The soul crooners assures his girl she'll go all the way to "heaven," and to convince her, he drops poetic pillow talk like "Roses are red and violets are blue, I'm gonna rock this world for you." (Really? She said yes after that line?)
Sexiest lyric: "I can't stop thinking of the things we do/ The way you call me, baby, when I'm holding you"
20
Afternoon Delight
Starland Vocal Band
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for two wks (7/10/1976)
The naive melody and wide-eyed harmonies of this '70s pop classic, which was famously covered in Will Farrell's 2004 "Anchorman" film, sound sweet enough to soundtrack a church picnic. In reality, the song is a lunchtime booty-call between a hungry man and his tasty morsel back home. Sounds like our kind of snack.
Sexiest lyric: "Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite/ And the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting"
19
Candy Shop
50 Cent feat. Olivia
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for nine wks (3/5/2005)
Fiddy proved he was a lover, as well as a fighter, in this salacious rap duet with G-Unit diva Olivia. 50 sweetly works up his lover's desires with sugary innuendos that would make Willy Wonka blush.
Sexiest lyric: "I'll take you to the candy shop, I'll let you lick the lollipop"
18
The First Night
Monica
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for five wks (10/3/1998)
These days, 29-year-old Monica is an engaged, proud mother of two. But when the R&B singer was a teenager, she was preaching abstinence. Although tempted to go all the way on the first date, the Atlanta native responsibly practices self-restraint atop this Jermaine Dupri-produced track.
Sexiest lyric: "Boy this evening, was it only me?/ Feeling completely, down to be open ... for some satisfaction/ Didn't want to say yes, for fear of your reaction"
17
Ring My Bell
Anita Ward
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for two wks (6/30/1979)
Anita Ward's 1979 disco hit became a dancefloor favorite for its memorable, sing-songy chorus -- but there's nothing roundabout about the song's lyrics, which are about what happens when her man gets back from a hard day.
Sexiest lyric: "Well lay back and relax while I put away the dishes/ Then you and me can rock-a-bye/ You can ring my be-e-ell"
16
Promiscuous
Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for six wks (7/8/2006)
Timbaland plays a seductive, bass-heavy game of cat and mouse with Nelly Furtado in this monstrous 2006 jam. Thomas Crown and Steve Nash get caught up in the steamy flirtation, but we're still left wondering if anybody scored at the end of the night. What a tease.
Sexiest lyric: "I can see you with nothing on/ Feeling on me before you bring that on"
15
You're Makin' Me High
Toni Braxton
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (7/27/1996)
Toni Braxton is singing about her sexual desires for a far-away lover on this mellow, suggestive track, but verses like the one below make the song seem like an endorsement of self-stimulation. If you can't be with the one you love ... love yourself?
Sexiest lyric: "I can imagine you touching my private parts/ With just the thought of you, I can't help but touch myself"
14
I Want To Sex You Up
Color Me Badd
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (6/8/1991)
With its new-jack-swing groove and tender falsetto vocals, CMB made sexual healing sound as gentle as can be. And as "Mr. Schue" recently proved on "Glee," covering this song is still the ultimate way for nerdy guys to get their crush's attention.
Sexiest lyric: "Let me take off all your clothes/ Disconnect the phone so nobody knows, yeah"
13
Bad Girls
Donna Summer
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for five wks (7/17/1979)
Donna Summer's strategy was to become the undisputed dirty diva of disco. She helped her cause with this booty-movin' plea for hooker respect, which came complete with trumpets bleating like a john's car horn. Bad girl, indeed.
Sexiest lyric: "Friday night and the strip is hot/ Sun's gone down and they're about to trot/ Spirit's high and they look hot/ Do you wanna get down?"
12
Lollipop
Lil Wayne
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for five wks (5/3/2008)
Candy metaphors in music go back at least as far as Little Richard ("Tutti Frutti," now what's THAT song about?) but Lil' Wayne raised the bar in this track about his lover's, er, oral fixation. Lest you think he isn't a gentleman, Wayne devotes a verse to returning the favor.
Sexiest lyric: "Shawty wanna hump/ You know I like to touch your lovely lady lumps"
11
Honky Tonk Women
The Rolling Stones
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for four wks (8/23/1969)
The Rolling Stones managed to mix sex and drugs with its rock n' roll in this nod to ladies of the night. Keith Richards' loose fretwork and Mick Jagger's loose lips pay respect to loose women everywhere.
Sexiest lyric: "I laid a divorcee in New York City/ I had to put up some kind of a fight/ The lady then she covered me with roses/ She blew my nose and then she blew my mind"
10
Da Ya Think I'm Sexy
Rod Stewart
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for four wks (2/10/1979)
Rod Stewart's disco-era anthem squeezes an entire one-night-stand narrative into a few short stanzas. Only one question, Rod: why did you call your mother before closing the deal?
Sexiest lyric: "His heart's beating like a drum 'cos at last he's got this girl home/ Relax baby, now we are alone"
9
Kiss You All Over
Exile
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for four wks (9/30/1978)
This late-'70s hit anticipates a couple's many hours of creative lovemaking. Even more creative was the Canadian Broadcasting Company's use of the song in a 2007 montage of hockey players kissing the Stanley Cup. (Yeah, we suppose that's one thing to do with it.)
Sexiest lyric: "Gonna wrap my arms around you, hold you close to me/ Oh, babe, I wanna taste your lips, I wanna fill your fantasy"
8
Like A Virgin
Madonna
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for six wks (12/22/1984)
The idea of a woman named Madonna singing about being "touched for the very first time" was titillating, for sure. But Bible Belters lost their minds when the suggestive song began racing up the '80s charts, fearing their children would fall prey to Madge's naughty innuendos and arousing imagery. Guess what? We did.
Sexiest lyric: "Oooh, like a virgin/ Feels so good inside"
7
Do That To Me One More Time
Captain & Tennille
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for four wks (6/21/1975)
The Captain and Tennille retuned to the top of the charts with this simple yet subtle ode to male virility; a sweet-sounding song that also succinctly summed up wild and loose ways of the 1970s.
Sexiest lyric: "Do that to me one more time/ Once is never enough with a man like you"
6
Hot Stuff
Donna Summer
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for three wks (6/2/1979)
"Hot Stuff" won Donna Summer the 1980 Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, but all she really needed in her bedroom was some action. The song made a memorable comeback in 1997's "The Full Monty," but it has remained a hot 'n' bothered anthem on retro dancefloors for years.
Sexiest lyric: "Wanna share my love with a warm blooded lover/ Wanna bring a wild man back home"
5
Let's Get It On
Marvin Gaye
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for two wks (9/8/1973)
Marvin Gaye's sweetly soulful voice was an aphrodisiac in and of itself; thus, he rarely resorted to subtleties when it came to his lyrics. "Let's Get It On" remains one of the most blatant sex songs of all time; the soul-music equivalent of a sure thing.
Sexiest lyric: "Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be?/ I'm asking you, baby, to get it on with me"
4
Too Close
Next
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for five wks (4/25/1998)
The Minneapolis trio could barely contain its excitement on this raunchy track. R.L, Terry and Raphael moan and groan about their female dance partner's "grindin'" and "shakin'" -- and their respective bulges as a result -- atop a Chicago-style step dance production. Hopefully, the men made it off the dancefloor without any vasocongestion (look it up).
Sexiest lyric: "Baby when we're grinding, I get so excited/ Ooh, how I like it, I try but I can't fight it"
3
I'll Make Love To You
Boyz II Men
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for 14 wks (8/27/1994)
Although more polite with its sexual innuendos than other early-'90s baby-makin' tracks, the Philly quartet hit all the right spots with this chart-topping ballad. Some lyrics are so subdued, in fact, that the penguins from the 2006 animated film "Happy Feet" used them for a "heartsong." How ... cute?
Sexiest lyric: "Throw your clothes, on the floor/ I'm gonna take my clothes off too/ I made plans to be with you"
2
Tonight's The Night
Rod Stewart
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for eight wks (11/13/1976)
Using his pack-a-day croon to maximum effect, Mr. Sexy is anything but coy in this ballad about getting his "virgin child" a nice big drink, helping her off with her dress and sweet talking her into her first time. From the woman moaning in French at song's end -- a cameo by Stewart's then-girlfriend, Bond girl Britt Ekland -- tonight was, apparently, the night.
Sexiest lyric: "You'd be a fool to stop this tide/ Spread your wings and let me come inside"
1
Physical
Olivia Newton-John
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for 10 wks (11/21/1981)
While the well-known video features Olivia Newton-John working out at a gym, the song "Physical" touts the benefits of a different kind of workout. The 1982 hit was so suggestive that it was banned by many radio stations across the globe -- as well as the entire country of South Africa. But the not-so-innocent Australian girl-next-door scored the biggest hit of the '80s and proved, once and for all, that sex sells ... mountains of records, that is.
Sexiest lyric: "I took you to an intimate restaurant, then to a suggestive movie/ There's nothing left to talk about unless it's horizontally
The brutal beating and robbery of a girl in a Seattle bus tunnel has been caught on tape -- along with the inaction of three security guards from whom she sought protection.
A teen girl and three young men face first-degree robbery charges stemming from the attack, during which they allegedly stole the 15-year-old's purse, phone, and iPod.
The 15-year-old victim, who is black, told cops the altercation began at a nearby Macy's, where some in the group taunted her saying she had "nice things" and acts "white," according to court papers filed Wednesday. One of the defendants claims the victim pepper-sprayed a person in the group.
Two Seattle police officers noticed the escalating situation and kicked the group out of the store, then brought the girl and her friend to another exit, the victim said. She reported that she asked the officers for an escort to the bus tunnel, just below the department store, but the officers refused.
She said she then deliberately stood next to the security guards in hopes of warding off further confrontation.
"I went to the security and told them that these kids were trying to jump me," the girl said. "I know that I am about to get jumped and I am hanging around the guards to try and get protection. ... I thought the security guards would defend me."
The guards didn't intervene, though. They have standing orders to "observe and report," so they called police but did nothing else as another 15-year-old girl punched and repeatedly kicked the victim in the head.
King County Sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said the guards were right to follow their training.
"If you're a bank teller and you do something other than give them the money, you're going to get fired," Urquhart said. "We don't expect civilians to take police action. In this case, it was a violent fight, and they were outnumbered by this pack of people 3-to-1."
Other Kings County officials disagree.
"We are very disappointed in what people see in that video," a transit official, Kevin Desomond, said. "It was absolutely unacceptable."
Government officials as well as executives at Olympic Security Services Inc., which employs the guards, are reviewing protocol in the wake of the incident.
When Matt Kemp decided to jet off to Mexico with Rihanna, he was not expecting the amount of press and scrutiny that later ensued. Speaking up this week, Kemp says the whole ordeal with Rihanna as a 'friend' is really "not that big a deal."
"She's just a friend, a good friend of mine and we went down to Mexico and had fun together," Kemp told MLB this week. "I didn't think all that would come out of it, it just happened. I'm not used to that much attention to my personal life."
As previously reported, rumors that Rihanna and Kemp were 'involved' and 'dating' at one point broke shortly after their vacation in Mexico. Rihanna, speaking of the rumors in recent weeks, has told press "I'm single".
Nonetheless, Kemp, a Los Angeles Dodgers athlete, refuses to let the rumors and scrutiny get to him.
"It's really not that big a deal," Kemp tells MLB. "But in L.A., doing things here, you're under a microscope, they're examining everything you're doing. It's L.A., man, the city we live in. It is what it is. Can't control what happens."
"My job is to get my work in, which I've been doing. Nothing distracts me from my job, not the contract, or my personal life. When it's time to play baseball, that's my job. No distractions."
In related news, Rihanna was spotted in Seoul, South Korea Wednesday. She is reportedly in Seoul for a promotional event.

NEW YORK – John Mayer is apologizing for his mouth.
The Grammy-winner took to his Twitter page to make amends for his latest inflammatory comments — this time, in the March edition of Playboy.
In it, he calls former girlfriend Jessica Simpson "sexual napalm" and says Jennifer Aniston is a technophobe who wishes she could go back to her career prime in 1998. He also uses the N-word.
On Twitter Wednesday afternoon, he apologized for the racial epithet and said he has to stop "trying to be so raw in interviews."
"It started as an attempt to not let the waves of criticism get to me, but it's gotten out of hand and I've created somewhat of a monster," Mayer tweeted. "I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. I don't have the stomach for it."
There were plenty who didn't have the stomach for his remarks in Playboy, in which he talked about Simpson's sexuality, his problems with Aniston, his love of porn, why he doesn't date black women and being beloved by the black community.
"Someone asked me the other day, 'What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?' And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass,'" he said, then added: "But I said, 'I can't really have a hood pass. I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full.'"
Mayer said he should have never have used the N-word in any context and will never say it again.
"And it's such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged," he said.
The racial comments were hardly the only explosive comments in the interview. He said he still loved Aniston, but then noting their age difference (she just turned 41), he said: "I can't change the fact that I need to be 32."
He also said she didn't appreciate new technology: "The brunt of her success came before TMZ and Twitter. I think she's still hoping it goes back to 1998. She saw my involvement in technology as courting distraction. And I always said, 'These are the new rules,'" he said.
Of Simpson, he talked about her sexual ability, and said: "That girl, for me, is a drug ... That girl is like crack cocaine to me."
In the interview, he also explained why he didn't date black women, comparing his genitals to "a white supremacist."
Mayer — known for his loose tongue — has made a habit out of outlandish comments. Last month, he gave an interview with Rolling Stone where he talked openly about his love life, including sex with other women — and himself.
Over the last year Kid Cudi has made quite a name for himself. He's gone from the guy whose name no one could pronounce to three Grammy nominations and features on tracks with everyone from Jay-Z to Shakira. In a short time he's achieved a lot in the music industry, and now he's ready to show off his acting as Scott Mescudi.
On February 10, 2006 the world lost one of it's greatest musicians. J. Dilla aka Jay Dee died from a rare blood disease and hip hop has mourned ever since.
Common was one of the lucky MC's who had the pleasure of working directly with Dilla.
He spoke recently with Hard Knock TV about what it was like to collaborate with him and why his death was such a great loss to the hip hop community.
R.I.P. J. Dilla February 7, 1974 - February 10, 2006.
Much has been made of Lil Wayne's surprising adjournment in a New York courtroom on Tuesday, which saw the rapper's prison sentencing delayed until March 2 because of dental surgery. There have even been murmurs that Wayne had the benefit of celebrity justice.
He's got multiple aliases: Charlie Hustle, 40 Fonzarelli, The Ballatician, Mr. Flamboyant, 40 Belafonte to E-Feezy. But, he's professionally known as E-40, or the Ambassador of The Bay Area, and the Ambassador is gearing up for release of his 13th and 14th album on the same date.
In late March, E-Feezy is will be dropping two separate albums, entitled Revenue Retrievin' The Day Shift and Revenue Retrievin' The Night Shift.
Going to work with him, hip-Hop's finest profiles, Snoop Dogg, Gucci Mane, Too Short and Mistah Fab punch in along with the melodies of Bobby V, Jazze Pha, YV and J. Valentine on both day and night shifts. With a total of 38 brand new tracks, E-40 and his Bay Area conglomerate -- B-Legit, Messy Marv, Dem Hoodstarz, Ya Boy, The DB'z, Turf Talk, Clyde Carson, Husalah and Droop-E -- lyrically engineer a top shelf production.
"I'm excited about this album; it's been a year since I dropped The Ball Street Journal. It marks an important independent business venture for me. This way, I am able to go back to the basics and run my own campaign," E-40 said of the two releases.
Over the years, E-40 has served as the headliner of notoriety in the Bay Area, while creating a musical space of his own. In addition, he has gained international exposure for introducing new music genres to hip-hop music in addition to threading new terminology such as "Slaps" and "Thumpers" used to describe the sound. As his beat goes on, the rap veteran recently made the savvy decision to sign an independent label deal with Heavy On The Grind Entertainment/EMI, owned by Earl Stevens Jr. aka Droop-E, who is not only a hit making producer, but the son of E-40.
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to provide commercial services for E-40," said Dominic Pandiscia, Senior Vice President & General Manager of EMI. "He has had a massive impact on hip-hop in the Bay area and beyond ,and we're extremely excited to partner with him on the next phase of his career."
Last year, nine of the songs from his The Ball Street Journal album were leaked weeks prior to the release of the album. As the countdown begins for Revenue Retrievin' Day Shift and Revenue Retrievin' Night Shift, fans can expect to get a preview of the new E-40 and his Heavy On The Grind Entertainment Movement via both YouTube and live UStreaming experiences.
Both albums hit the streets on March 30th.
The detailed adventures of E-40 will be announced via Twitter @TheRealE40.

What comes up must come down.
Still flying high from her Grammy Awards wins and fragrance success, Beyonce has been slapped with a major lawsuit.
House of Dereon, the clothing line she and her mother Tina Knowles helm together, is being sued by its Hong Kong-based manufacturer Vier International Ltd. for breach of contract.
In a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Vier says it lost $500,000 because the clothing company Donna Loren LLC and shipping company HJM International were "conspirators who induced the shipment of goods to the United States with the intent to convert them or pay less than the agreed upon contract price."
Vier named two entities owned by Knowles and partners -- Beyond Productions LLC and House of Dereon -- for taking part through purchase orders and requesting manufacturing specifications.
The company included claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), which is what is used in most Mafia prosecutions, but over the years has been expanded to other areas and includes civil claims by private parties like the claims here.

John Mayer just got more candid than ever, opening up about Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston and his "white supremacist" private parts. Yes, white supremacist.
In an interview with Playboy, Mayer explained that he was practically addicted to ex-girlfriend Simpson. "That girl, for me, is a drug," he said. "And drugs aren't good for you if you do lots of them. Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me... Sexually, it was crazy. That's all I'll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm."
Mayer was a little tamer in their discussion on his other highly publicized relationship with Jennifer Aniston, and cited something unusual as a reason for their breakup. "One of the most significant differences between us was that I was tweeting," he said.
"The brunt of her success came before TMZ and Twitter," he continued. "I think she's still hoping it goes back to 1998. She saw my involvement in technology as courting distraction. And I always said, 'These are the new rules.'"
But even after their breakup, it's clear that Mayer still cares for Aniston. "We just have a regard for each other's feelings that is pretty intense," he said. "It's been a deep relationship, and it's no longer taking place at all. Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?"
And although Mayer is known as a ladies man, he admits that when it comes to black women, he hasn't been so lucky. "I don't think I open myself to it. My d--k is sort of like a white supremacist... I'm going to start dating separately from my d--k."

MANHATTAN BEACH -- An 18-year-old Manhattan Beach man has been arrested for allegedly trying to buy urine from boys.
Kevin Duron is accused of walking into a restroom at Pacific Elementary School last week and offering two boys several dollars to urinate in a cup, Manhattan Beach Sgt. Brian Brown said.
The boys refused his request.
Duron was arrested on Monday for investigation of annoying children. He's being held on $150,000 bail.
Brown said it's believed Duron was trying to collect urine to pass drug tests.
Surveillance cameras captured Duron on his first visit to the school, police said, adding that a teacher recognized him when he returned to the school on Monday.
School officials notified parents of the incidents and say no students were hurt.
Some people seem to look for controversy no matter what.
Kobe Bryant is hosting a party for Show Magazine this NBA All Star Weekend. A decision that has drawn criticism from a few online publications.
Sure Kobe was involved in a scandal in 2003 involving an alleged rape (a charge that was never proven, Kobe settled out of court).
Does that mean the man isn't entitled to have a good time?
I'm sure he is getting paid a large amount of money to host the event.
Also Show Magazine told TMZ that the NBA had approved the flier for the event which means they don't see anything wrong with it.
The last thing the NBA would want is for their star player to be caught up in a situation that would reflect negatively on him and the league. So if they are ok with it then we should be too.
An Ohio resident has filed a civil lawsuit against former Piston Allen Iverson that seeks $2.5 million plus damages stemming from an alleged incident at a Detroit nightspot last spring.
In an eight-page complaint filed in district court, Guy Walker claims he "suffered severe pain, emotional distress and mental anguish" from injuries suffered during an altercation at the South Beach Pizza Bar on the night of April 11.
Walker claims Antwuan Clisey, a Virginia resident, was working as a member of Iverson's security detail when Clisey initiated an unprovoked attack that cleared the bar, and Iverson, who was escorted away from the scene, did nothing to stop the altercation.
The complaint says Walker suffered "an orbital blowout fracture of the eye" as well as other injuries.
Iverson signed with the Philadelphia 76ers this summer, and a team representative said Wednesday that Iverson was attending to a family matter and was not with the team. A phone call to Iverson's agent, Leon Rose, was not returned.
Yo Gotti just wants to preserve the environment. The Memphis, Tennessee, MC wants to uphold the integrity of the streets in hip-hop. He has talked about the responsibility on the shoulders of himself, Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane as three of the 'hood's ambassadors.
"Keep getting it, I respect you and salute you, my n---a," Gotti says on the record "Save Da Trap," talking directly to Jeezy. "I knew you for this rap sh--/ We used to speak on trap sh--/ You represent the streets and you know I do the same/ From one gangsta to another, dawg, I hope you never change."
Sad news this morning: Phil Harris, captain of the Cornelia Marie fishing boat featured on Deadliest Catch, has died in Alaska. He was 53.
Harris suffered a massive stroke on Jan. 29 while the Cornelia Marie was in port at St. Paul Island, Alaska. The boat captain was flown to Anchorage for surgery.
"It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad - Captain Phil Harris. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end," sons Josh and Jake Harris said in a statement on the Cornelia Marie site. "For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down."
In a statement the network said, "Discovery mourns the loss of dear friend and colleague Captain Phil Harris. He was more than someone on our television screen. Phil was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him. We will miss his straightforward honesty, wicked sense of humor and enormous heart. We share our tremendous sadness over this loss with the millions of viewers who followed Phil's every move. We send our thoughts and prayers to Phil's sons Josh and Jake and the Cornelia Marie crew."
LOS ANGELES – Jamie Foxx wanted to entertain a group of musically inclined high school students with a few bars from his Grammy winning hit, "Blame It."
But since the song is an ode to the effects of alcohol, he changed the lyrics to "Blame it on the a-a-a-apple juice." The kids roared.
"I changed it so you guys could sing it," he joked.
Students from four high schools gathered Tuesday at Walt Disney Concert Hall, where Foxx helped present new violins, flutes, French horns, trumpets and drums valued at $500,000 to students from 16 schools nationwide.
The instruments are part of the Fidelity FutureStage program, an effort by the investment firm to enrich arts education in public schools.
Founded in 2006, the program provides instruments, specialized training by professional musicians, and a chance for aspiring artists to perform with renowned orchestras such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Boston Pops.
Foxx told students he began as a classical pianist and eventually won a scholarship to study the instrument in college.
"That allowed me to come to L.A. and work on my craft," he said. "Then I went into acting and comedy, and then it was Ray Charles ..."
Foxx, 42, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Charles in "Ray," got the crowd fired up and had them chanting "mu-sic, mu-sic" before students came on stage to accept shiny new saxophones, clarinets and other instruments.
"This is way better than our old stuff," one student said.
Dominic Monaghan hosted the program, which was simulcast in Boston, Houston, Chicago and Los Angeles. Students in all four cities performed and received donated instruments.
After the program, Foxx praised Fidelity for stepping in where public funding had failed. He also encouraged other companies to participate.
"Even if a kid is not going to be the greatest musician in the world, just the fact that you gave him something, the fact that you said, 'hey, I care about you,' that's what it's about," Foxx said.
