HBO Trains Lens on Fleiss' 'Stud Farm' HBO, the network of "Cathouse: The Series," will take another look at the legalized-prostitution business in Nevada, this time with notorious "Hollywood madam" Heidi Fleiss.The premium-cable network says it's reached an agreement with Fleiss to chronicle her efforts to open a bordello for women in Nevada in a documentary. The film will follow Fleiss as she builds a structure near the town of Pahrump, east of Las Vegas, hires men to staff the business and faces whatever other hurdles might pop up in front of her."With women being so independent today, I think the time has come for this kind of enterprise," Fleiss says. "I am thrilled to be working with HBO, because HBO is the best, bar none."Filming on the project is scheduled to begin in December. Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato ("Inside Deep Throat," "Monica in Black and White") will direct and produce the documentary; no airdate has been set.Fleiss announced plans to open a brothel catering to women, to be called Heidi's Stud Farm, earlier this month. She initially planned to go into business with brothel owner Joe Richards but now says she'll seek a business license herself. That could be an issue for Fleiss, who served time in federal prison for tax evasion and money laundering stemming from her madam days.
