I saw the title and thought "Finally..." then I saw the author and said... "oh...it's information from the balderdash authority..."

Yes, I've got sources inside SOE. They have leaked the latest sexy deliciousness of the upcoming entertainer changes. So, without any further ado...
1) The HAM bars are going away. They are being replaced with a single bar called "happiness". When you are shot at or hurt, your happiness will go down. This means all existing buffs will be removed, but the happy bar can be refilled with food, drink, entertainment (Yay! we have a purpose!), booze, or spice. Booze and spice will have the greatest effect outside of a lapdance (see below).
2) New clothing! Yes, they've added a bunch of new clothing just for entertainers! Best yet, you need to BE an entertainer to wear these. Among the items being added are fishnets, leotards, feathered boas, a variety of classy and sexy hats, leather bodysuits, PVC hip-high boots, miniskirts, a new line of bustiers and thongs. Those items are female only. Don't worry though guys, for they've heard your cries and are putting the "wifebeater" tanktop back into the game! It'll only be available in white and women can wear it too. Wookiees, naturally, get no new clothing items.
3) They've added belly buttons. 'Nuff said.
4) They are implementing lap dances. Several new commands will be added. /lapdance will initiate a special dance that you can perform while sitting on a piece of furniture (presumably someone ELSE is also sitting there). From what I understand, it looks pretty good. The dance does have flourishes, but they are invoked with specials (/wiggle, /fingerinmouth, /shimmy, /cleavageinface and /watershower) that you earn through a new dance line which replaces one of the healing lines. Lap dances are the best way to restore the happiness bar and they can be performed in camps. Only females can perform this dance.
5) Dancer props! Yes the devs have heard us and added props that serve no purpose but for use in entertainer shows! I wasn't given too many details here, but apparently they are adding things like microphones, beer cans, death sticks, alligator purses, mace cans, tazers, whipped cream and whips to begin with. I'm beginning to think they got Hugh Hefner on staff over there.
6) Body tattoos. This is for the IDs, and well... for the rest of us too. It will ship with just one choice for now (a big SOE logo), but others are planned in the future (expect a PIZZA HUT logo as soon as they merge the /pizza command into game). You can get the SOE logo tattooed on your forehead, your chest, arm, back or buttocks.
7) A new way of tipping! The /tip command has been removed due to it being a bit insecure and leading to a lot of confusion and scams...and CS tickets. In its place, we have added a new ability called /gratuity. In order to use this command, you will need to have a third party person to act as a signed witness, as well as a politician to stamp and notarize the electronic forms, which both parties will need to fill out (it's only one page of information, no worries) prior to completing the transaction. With this new secure and efficient way of tipping, it is expected that entertainer tips will go through the roof!
8) The musician profession is being renamed to the 'DJ' profession. Musicians will now start out with a newbie jukebox, which will only have a few tunes in it, and graduate over times to the full featured jukebox now in the game. They will have full control over these jukeboxes, even better than what is available now! As a result, the player event jukeboxes will be removed from the game, just as the musicians wanted. No more instruments or sw1.
9) New fame system! As an add-on to the existing system introduced as part of the entertainer quests, all entertainers can now earn fame! Become famous! Put your name in lights! Everyone will know your name! Fame is generated automatically at a rate of 1 point every hour of entertaining, regardless of where you are or how many are watching you. Fame points can be exchanged much like faction points for perks and abilities. The /register command has been changed to charge you 100 fame points with every use, and many of the props and clothing items listed above (like the wifebeater!) will be dispersed through the fame system.
10) AFK play. With all these changes, we don't figure anyone will have a reason to AFK entertain anymore, so we don't intend to bother removing the ability to AFK entertain.
Great things are coming!
DISCLAIMER: I sincerely, deeply and humbly apologize to anyone who read the title of this post and thought this contained any ACTUAL information about the announcement. But then, quite honestly, you know I'm a friggen brat, and you should have known better.
