Heather Graham, Pole Dance Advocate

June 3rd, 2009 No Comments   Posted in News
Heather Graham has a cure-all for women with confidence issues: take up stripping.
The actress, who plays an exotic dancer in ‘The Hangover,’ says it’s a great way for ladies to feel empowered in their lives. The 39-year-old star has taken stripper poles classes in the past, but she returned to school to prepare for the role.
“For this film I went back and took some refresher courses (with actress and stripper teacher Sheila Kelley),” Graham said, according to the Daily Express. “It’s a dance class but they teach you pole dancing moves and it reminded me how great it is … It’s for any kind of woman, women of all different ages and sizes.”
“As a woman, it’s inspiring because any woman can feel sexy and you’re cheering each other on. You’re not doing it for like, ‘Oh, just give me a tip.’ … You’re doing it to feel good about yourself and see other women feel good about themselves.”
Kelley famously got Oprah Winfrey to do some exotic moves on an episode of ‘Oprah.’
Other celebs who have showed off their stripping skills in recent years include supermodel Kate Moss (in a White Stripes video), Britney Spears (in her current stage show), Jessica Biel (in ‘Powder Blue’) and Marissa Tomei (‘The Wrestler’).

britney_spears_stripperThe Britney Spears has requested a stripper pole be installed in her hotel room.‘Toxic’ singer – who is a huge fan of pole dancing as it helps maintain her new slender figure – made the unusual request to staff at London’s Dorchester Hotel, where she will be staying when she performs at the city’s O2 arena in June as part of the UK leg of her ‘Circus’ tour.

A source said: “Britney loves pole dancing, it is her new favourite work out. She gets the toning she needs without having to hit the gym and wants to do it in the privacy of her own hotel room.

“Keeping fit on tour is very important as her show involves lots of rigorous dance routines, so Britney likes to do her pole dancing workout first thing in the morning.”

The mother-of-two has also requested the hotel provide a chef from restaurant chain Nando’s to be on hand to cook her spicy chicken whenever she feels like it.

Britney’s request comes just days after Russell Brand asked for a private pole.

The British comic star – who once gave Britney sex tips – is set to stay at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino when shooting starts on movie ‘Get Him to the Greek’ in Las Vegas.

Russell has requested the famous Apex suite, known as the “ultimate bachelor pad”, and has its own stripper pole.

Thrifty actress Jenny McCarthy installed a stripper pole in her Los Angeles home at the height of her son Evan’s autism battle – because a real fireman’s pole was so expensive.

The actress/model opened the doors to her germ-free retreat, where her son is home schooled by teachers who understand his condition, to U.S. TV show Access Hollywood recently – and admitted there’s a naughty secret in his playroom.

As well as a climbing rope attached to the ceiling, there’s also a metal pole that McCarthy revealed is not exactly what it seems. She explains, “The fireman’s pole was, like, $2,000, and the strip-aerobics pole was $200.”

Meanwhile, McCarthy has bought the property next to her home and plans to turn both into a center for autistic children.

The former ‘Baywatch’ actress is so obsessed with the raunchy exercise regime that she has designed a fold-away pole which can be set up anywhere.

She said: “I am so excited to have a new pole coming out, a portable stripper pole. The great thing about my portable pole is you can put it in your own living room or you can do the workout in your bedroom. No-one has to see you do it. It’s up to you – you can perform for your husband or boyfriend, or do it more as a workout and focus on that.” More »
