The Los Angeles Times reports this morning on the case of Jody “Babydol” Gibson, the Hollywood madam whose little black book of clients was rumored to contain lots of celebrity names. “The evidence presented to the jury that convicted Gibson in 2000 of operating an international prostitution ring included phone books and other records in which, prosecutors say, she listed her customers,” the Times reports. But the paper says authorities blacked out the names.

Now, however, Gibson has a new book — Secrets of a Hollywood SuperMadam — coming out in which she apparently names the names, and, according to the Times, “Many of the names also appear in her phone books, a payment log and other records from the case that have been unsealed by Los Angeles Superior Court and can now be viewed in unredacted form.”

The paper reports that the names include actor Bruce Willis and former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda — both of whom strongly deny ever knowing Gibson. And then there is this:

A political figure whose name appears is Ben Barnes, a former lieutenant governor of Texas, who drew attention during the 2004 presidential campaign by saying that he helped a young George W. Bush enter the Air National Guard to avoid the Vietnam-era draft.
The Times reached Barnes by calling a cellphone number listed beside his name in Gibson’s records.
“I have never met or talked to this broad in my entire life,” Barnes said. He said he could not explain why his cellphone number was in her files.
