Jenna Jameson, Wicked Girls In Panama City, Florida
Meni writes: Panama City, FL: I heard this from a source: "Wicked cries because all their contract girls are fat"
"Joy King tries to beg the E! channel to not shoot Jenna because her girls (Wicked) are crying. The only reason Club Lavela had the Wicked girls at their club was because they thought Jenna was still with Wicked. After seeing what the girls tip the scales at, Club Lavela was dissappointed. The Club regrets not booking Jenna, instead of the Wicked girls."
I cannot confirm the Club Lavela rumor or E! rumor. But I have heard rumors that some of the Wicked Girls are battling weight problems.
Meni69: Beach riot almost breaks out as spring breakers almost tear down Jenna's tent, as she shows off her Heartbreaker tattoo. Jenna is signing her clubjenna t-shirts for a frenzy of fans. Although the weather is bad, (60 and overcast) the one bright spot on the beach is in front of the ClubJenna tent. Over 1,000 t-shirts given out in 2 hours. Penthouse Pet Runner Up 2000, Amy Sweet was also signing for ClubJenna.
Meni69: i guess the wicked girls were upset Jenna was there and E!
wanted to shoot more of Jenna than Alexa and Devinn.
Meni69: getting flack from a wicked girls husband
Meni69: says I"m now hack journalism
Meni69: so i'm like you
Meni69: I say this, its not hack journalism to say Jenna outpulled the
2 wicked girls for fans
Coral Sands Leaving Hobby?
RacerXXX writes on BigDoggie.net: I had setup an appt with her via ASF during her recent 'tour' but she never got on the plane to visit the city. So I guess she might have backed out totally of this hobby. Disappointed she was on my list to meet. ASF was totally professional about the whole incident and was very apologetic about the incident and tried to make it up. I guess ASF removed her because of recent events. ASF wants to ensure client satisfaction.
AdultstarFantasy replies: We had several incidents with Coral and her lack of reliability. The tour you speak of was unfortunately the final straw.

Lee Carroll Available
Scott writes: Luke, if the porn stars at nici's girls are too expensive check out www.bomis.com-in Charleston,WV you can get adult superstar Lee Carrol for $200 an hour-or $300 for two unrushed hours of FUN! Luke, just think of the things you can do...perhaps recreate the the Carrol/Sharon Kane scene from SEXCAPADES (with you in the Kane role of course,I guess) Lee's still hot.She doesn't look a day under 80! Seriously, her photographer oughta be hired by Vivid. He (Johnny Castrano? who else could she afford?) did an amazing job. Lee's aged Kathy Willets-esque reptile flesh is covered nicely. She actually looks cute in the dominatrix pics. As Lee did a lot of videos with Kitten Natividad you can bookend your experience with what Pat Riley calls "horrible old big-titted hags." Although when I think of Kitten burying her face in Lee's old hairy skanky pussy(looks like a pizza dropped on the barber shop floor-or Ron Jeremy's back) I wonder-do I get $199.99 in change back from Lee?
John writes: Geez, Luke, I had no idea this woman was still alive, let alone banging for a living!! A bit more background...she ended up in WV after running up more than $50,000.00 in credit card debt while living in California. She had broken up with her man and was actually living with Kitten Natividad at her place on North Sweetzer for a while till it caught up with her and she had to bail. This was maybe 7 or 8 years ago, and while Kitten was still fairly hot then, Lee was looking like she'd been on the road way too long. As I recall however, the equipment may have been worn, but hey, the performance was there for sure!! Give Kitten a call, she'll tell you more.....these two had quite a wild time living together, you havent had a wild night until you get picked up by TWO porn actresses in a bar, and have to put out all night long.
GVA West's Chief Buyer DP Quits
DP, the chief buyer for GVA West, one of the world's biggest pornography distributors, quit today. He will be replaced by "The Wolf."
Topics for discussion: Pat Riley's critiques of JimmyD's movies and why intellectuals like Rob Spallone love The Sopranos.
James DiGiorgio's 19-year old daughter, and his 13-year old nephew and younger brother snuck into the chatroom without revealing themselves. Jimmy started hitting on them. After the show, he found out who they were. He was appalled.
Listen to Jimmy's embarrasment as he finds out the woman he's been flirting with is his daughter.
Read the chat here. The character "aj_and_meadow" is Jimmy's daughter and nephew and brother. Their chat name is based on Tony Soprano's kids AJ and Meadow from the HBO TV series The Sopranos.
James DiGiorgio directed The Sopornos 1 and 2 for VCA.
JimmyD's daughter writes: "Dear Luke, I have heard so much about you from my father. I just wanted to e-mail you and tell you how funny we thought your and my fathers reaction to yesterdays prank was. My cousin and I just love the "listen to jimmys embarrasment" that was so great, thank you for recording it because we were bummed when we couldn't hear a reaction of some kind on the air. Thanks so much!"
Brandy Alexandre writes: Well that's rich. Does he think that screeners only go to people are definitely going to give glowing approval to every single feature? Maybe instead of the petulant foot stamping, he should listen to the criticism and try to produce a better product, take it with a grain of salt, or be reminded that perhaps no one takes that particular critic very seriously. And if you think being removed from a screeners list will effectively prevent someone from reviewing your movie, think again. You piss of a critic soundly enough and I guarantee he'll put his own 5 bucks on the line to rent your features and give give an overly thorough appraisal. Worse yet, they may never be mentioned at all. You never can tell--the stated reasons why Riley doesn't like something just may what someone else does.
Robert Lombard of Creative Image Management writes: I must say my level of respect for certain individuals in the adult industry rises again. YES, after listening to the conversation between you and Jimmy D after he found out his daughter was in the chat room. His tone, and nervous laughter was sincere and filled with love. IMPRESSIVE to say the least. Needless to say when my daughter gets older and figures out my involvement with the adult industry...I surely would ask "D man" for advice. By the way tell Jimmy I got one more "Soporono's" cigar available...come over to the office Jimmy and pick up your reward. It is time we meet face to face. And Luke you should come too. Jews in numbers are better suited when meeting with Italians.
Lynne writes: Just wondering what Jimmy D thinks about his daughter doing porn videos? Would he be cool with it? Would he shoot her getting DP'd without a condom? And what does he think about guys in their forties who think nineteen-year-old twats are great fun to drool over but not worth respecting as human beings?
Jim: "Quasarman wrote that Michael Raven has only been in the business four years and he's a top director. And all Q's got are his clothes and his TV set. But I wrote Q, here's the deal: I ain't saying that Michael Raven made his career off his wife Sydnee Steele. But when Michael Raven first came into the business, it sure helped that he had that wife. She certainly opened a couple of doors for him that he wouldn't have been able to open himself. Then he took over after that. So maybe Q should take his wife... She's good looking. Got quite a body on her. Got some chest on her. I'm thinking that if Q put his wife in some scenes and became a suitcase pimp like that, it would help out his directorial career."
Michael Raven replies: Uh Jim, exactly which doors would that have been?
Jim: "Cherry Mirage, when you were with Extreme, what sort of extreme stuff did they make you do?"
Cherry Mirage: "Nothing really. I held my ground. I watched a lot of funk ass s--- go down, don't get me wrong. I watched a lot but I didn't participate in much."
Jim: "You were like the little princess there?"
Cherry: "The way you and Tommy [Byron] make that sound. I guess about a year ago, Roger T. Pipe interviewed him and they still had some upset feelings about me. He mentioned that I acted like a little princess."
Byron told Pipe: "She is a very pretty girl and obviously one of your favorites, but she is a bit of a spoiled brat. I don't know if you noticed, but in her scenes, she was not all that into it when it came to the sex. She was just there to be cutesy-pretty. When it came down to being real and ferocious and extreme, she didn't really fit the bill but she looked great on a box. It was just one of those silly little things that gets all blown out and feelings get hurt. Basically, she wanted to get paid for scenes she hadn't done because it was the twenty-first of the month and she was guaranteed a certain number of scenes. In hindsight, that that was a bad way to go when it comes to a contract. After a while, every movie that comes out has the same people in it. She didn't like to have scenes canceled because she had to prepare, but we were still a new company. There were three people doing ten jobs each. Being the spoiled brat that she is, she just couldn't understand that. I think if she looks back on her time with us, based on what her career is at this point, I don't think that she can honestly say that it was a terrible time. Let's be real, it put her on the f---ing map. What's she going to do working for Bobby Rinaldi?"
Luke: "You said you saw a lot of funky stuff go on there. Like what?"
Jim: "The time Gene Ross took his wig off?"
Cherry: "This is the first time that I've said anything against them. It's been almost two-and-a-half years now. Take this and love it. ...They pushed a lot of their own contract girls to do things that they were obviously uncomfortable with and they really didn't care. They threw caution to the wind. They didn't care. They didn't give a s--- as long as they got what they wanted. And every time it was worse. It's real appalling...to see a woman who feels that she's so crushed by the weight of a contract or money that she's gonna let some 24-year old kid, and that's all Rob was at the time, push her to the point of tears and still go ahead and do it."
Luke: "What sorts of things were they pushing the women to do?"
Cherry: "Oh, nice try Luke, but that's how far you're going to get."
Jim: "Did you ever see Gene Ross come on to an Extreme set and take his wig off?"
Cherry: "No. It never got that bad. Come on. It was scary but it wasn't that scary."
Jim: "They probably got more extreme after you left."
Cherry: "They got worse. I watched what could've been a good thing turn into a real s---ty thing. And as I understand it, all the way up to their last contract girl, it's been a bad car wreck. You're watching the wheels fall off and the people fall out...
"Lizzy Borden is an ok person if you can get her away from Rob. Rob's a great talker. He makes you believe that the whole world is waiting to see what Rob Black and Extreme will do next. But when you get out of that circle you realize that Rob is just an annoying gnat that people like to swat at.
"So when you get Lizzy out of that, and you make her remember that she's a good person. She's a lot of fun. She's got a big sweet heart and doesn't really want to hurt anybody or say anything mean or negative. But get her next to Rob and she's this cat woman thing with a bad attitude."
Jim: "She adopts his personality."
Luke: "Cherry, are you implying that Rob may not make a great mayor of Los Angeles?"
Cherry: "My little sister wants to get into the business. I told her that she wasn't mature enough. It's not that I don't want her to get into the industry. I don't want her to get into the industry right now.
"When I want to have good sex, I go home. When I want to get paid, I go to work."
Jim: "What do you think of Jews?"
Cherry: "I think they're cheap."
Luke says: I looked up James DiGiorgio on the internet under his real name and one of the only two results that came back listed him as the author of this 1997 book: "Who’s Pretty Boy Then? One Hundred and Fifty Years of Gay Life in Pictures."
James Digiorgio writes Quasarmanrants.com: I'm havin lunch today at the San Carlo Deli with Rob Spallone, and a big shot from VCA. And just so you know, the San Carlo is the best friggin Italian deli in the valley! It's right there in that shopping center at the corner of Devonshire and Mason in Chatsworth. So anyway, we're sittin outside eatin panzones, prosciutto, and some antipasto, when I see this guy come running by. Sure enough, it's freakin Fritz. But I don't think too much of it. I point him out to Rob and we reminisce how we abused Fritz at some shoot one time. Suddenly, we hear this loud thump! We look up. Apparently, Fritz had jumped into his steel-blue minivan, threw it in gear, and proceeded to run the front tires over one of them big f---in cement things in the parking lot. Now Fritz is sittin there, his minivan straddling the cement thing. He's looking around, trying to figure out what to do. Then he guns the engine, the minivan lurches forward, the back end hits the cement thing and bounces about two feet in the air, Fritz puts the pedal to the metal and peels out of the parking lot with tires screeching. Anyway, just thought I'd share.
Voyager7 writes on RAME.net: We don't want Pat to be embarrassed by having to take VCA ol' biddie tapes up to the rental counter at his favorite smut emporium and have the clerk/owner think less of him. Then again, maybe he will be deft enough to hide the tape(s) between the Barely Legal, Chocolate Mousse and Cocks In Frocks vids. If push comes to shove, we can all chip in and buy him a London Fog raincoat (maybe Frank can start scouting one out, remember to get one with corduroy patches on the elbows...) and he can stoop to stealing the VCA titles so he can get his ol' biddie and Veronica Hart ideology fix.
Nancy Pera writes: Luke, I am so sorry about yesterday! Talk about Murphy's Law. I had been online all day, then logged off waiting for you to call. Finally a few minutes before 5:00 pm I decided I'd give you a call and see if there was a problem. Well, low and behold, my phone's cut off. The really stupid part is I only owed them $65 bucks! I think PacBell has it out for me because I contacted consumer advocates David Horowitz and 'Bogey' last year because they never installed the DSL service I ordered. Did I miss much? I was all geared up and ready (nervous as usual too). The first thing I was going to do was rectify something I had said on your show. That being it was NOT Walter Gernert (sp?) that sent me the $10,000 for Reuben, it was Charlie Geerts. See what happens when you get nervous!? Well, the phone is working, Luke, do you want to try again? ; )
Future Supreme Court justice Bob Jones writes: I may not be able to chat on the show tonight; I may have other plans. But please ask Cindy Plenum about the timeline. Even if she was working under age, she was doing it before it fits with her educational career. Unless she's ten years old than she says (which is the first part of my guess) or lying about the education (which is the second part of my guess).
A friend of mine invited me to attend a class he teaches at a college for dumb people. I want to check out the student body; many student bodies, actually :)
Is Jimmy D's daughter hot? I think you should get her to do nudes and post them on your site.
P.S.: It was really nice to see you giving it to Jimmy like he's been handing it out, even if you did it by proxy. The way he treated you during the Logan interview really annoyed me. I don't hate the guy, but I think he should be more respectful of you, especially on your own show.
P.P.S.: Any time someone tells you they have nothing under their name, get suspicious.
Lynne reminds Bob: Never assume. As Russ Hampshire has told me about a million times, it makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me."
People find it easy to take cheap shots at me (and at the actress whose experience trying out for a non-porn role started this thread) and others who don't have all their social ducks in a role because they can.
They think it's cute and funny, and Luke provides them a platform on which to humiliate themselves with their own boorish behavior. Luke has the biggest collection of naked emperors prancing on his site I've ever seen....
Everybody who travels down any given path, licit or il-, got there through their own unique set of circumstances. Some people who get involved in an illicit lifestyle are just incredibly stupid. Some people who are incredibly manipulative end up being wealthy lawyers. Me, I'm the world's worst faker. I'm honest and I'm open and I honor my business deals and keep my promises as best I can. Most of the porn people I've ever known, other than performers, live entirely normal lives (and performers, porn or non, have more in common with each other than porn performers do with non-performer porners).
Quality people don't think it's humorous to make fun of others in public, especially those others who are weak or helpless. So, next time you beat your meat to some woman who is not your sacred and beloved spouse, please remember that two are tangoing in that particular deviant act, and that a pervert who "blames the victim" shows a distinct lack of class.
If I had really wanted to avoid a marginal, illicit life, I really should have spoken up back in 1961, when I was five, and my father was sticking his dick in my mouth -- something like, "Daddy, there's serious potential that your current behavior will ultimately condemn me to a future as a manipulative, flakey loser. People will speak of me as an object of derision. Why, I might end up doing drugs or getting into porn instead of Harvard or MIT!" Obviously everything that happened to me thereafter was my fault for not having done things right from the start. Certainly by the time I was seventeen and spending Thanksgiving under a bridge in West Los Angeles not far from Luke's current hovel, pretty damned depressed that my family had turned out to be such miserable s---s, it was because I just didn't want to live a normal life.
In 1997, my husband was given two years to live, and for some strange reason, I found that depressing, so my doctor prescribed Prozac, so I could function as my life fell apart.. It wasn't like I was hysterical because Nordstrom's sold out of the Charles Jourdan stilletto heels in my size, and I just couldn't cope. People who think it's cute to insult me over needing medical help to cope with tragedy deserve a little in their own lives...and they'll get it, too, but as a compassionate woman I'll empathize with their pain rather than gloat at their misfortune. I KNOW pain hurts. There's enough pain in this world. Causing gratuitous pain is immoral, at least in my version of the Torah. Why do people find my very existence so offensive? Here's my new theory: because they're infantile wussies, who could never handle a fraction of the s--- I've had to deal with in my life and come out half-way functional. I'm tough and strong and loving and ethical, whereas all the "good" boys are jacking off to porn and tossing juvenile insults at women as they pat themselves on the back over their cleverness.
MrHollywoodJew writes: Luke, tell Cindy I never pretended to be in the movie business. I have worked in the adult entertainment business as a manager and owner/manager of gentlemen's clubs and strip bars and as the co-owner of an escort agency. I do not even live in California, though I used to live in Los Angeles (actually in the San Fernando Valley). I moved back to my hometown several years ago and still have investments in adult-related businesses here. I am not pretending to be in movie industry. The name Mr. Hollywood Jew was bestowed upon me by Luke's friend the Pornovitcher Rebbe, Chaim Amalek, who declared that I epitomized a sort of attitude and personality which he and Luke have dubbed "the Hollywood Jew." So I changed my handle from "Pelican" (a nod to my native state) to MrHollywoodJew sort of as a joke. I liked it, though, so I kept it. I may switch to just plain old "MHJ," though. I do like her movie idea, though. I hope she can pull it off; it might just be damned good!
Frank Rich writes: NOT FOR PUBLICATION (BUT MAY BE FORWARDED TO AUTHOR OF ORIGINAL ANALYSIS)
This is the key paragraph I have trouble with: "The only big difference between the IMS case and the CEN case is that AOL alleges that CEN "aided and abetted" the bulk emailing, rather than doing so directly."
That's precisely the point. That is what makes this case completely different from the other spam cases. The analysis on this point is somewhat incorrect, actually. AOL has also alleged, under a different claim, negligent hiring and retention.
This, the ability to hold the affiliate program liable for the actions of the webmasters, is precisely the point of the CEN suit, it is the only point to the CEN suit, it is what makes the CEN suit interesting, and it is why the CEN suit is a tremendous threat to the affiliate programs.
The question is not whether the facts, if proven as alleged are sufficient. They certainly are. The question is how few of those facts are required, if any. The answer may be (I think it is) that none of those facts are required beyond open admissions to the affiliate program and profiting from the activities of the affiliates. If anything is required, I think assisting with marketing will be sufficient.
The article, although good and largely correct, should be re-written to focus on this narrow point: Under what conditions may an affiliate program be held responsible for the actions of an affiliate?
Maureen Dowd replies: The problem you find yourself with, as a courtroom lawyer, is that the distinction between the webmasters and the affiliate program is rather thin, given their financial interrelationship and wired-interdependence.
Additionally, when those affiliates fail to appear to defend themselves, and melt away behind a facade of corporate structures that have no substance, CEN is left holding the bag for the undeniable spam plague. Nevertheless, a clear analysis of what constitutes aiding and abetting is lacking. I think that will put the issue in proper perspective.
However, as a guy who's smelled the blood in the ring, CEN looks like they're going to be in a world of hurt if AOL can prove half of what it's alleged.
War Between Key Members Of Australian Porn Mafia?
I hear a war is breaking out between key members of the Australian Porn Mafia.
Greg Lasrado writes: "what war is going on. no one has involved me yet if there is one."
The conflict revolves around a little known Australian pornographer by the name of Daniel Hicks. Dan worked for Dean Shannon until they split.
XXX says: "Hicks's wife did Dean's conveyancing [bookkeeping]. Dean employed Daniel as his CEO for Dean's non adult businesses. Then Dean and Dan had a tiff and parted company. Dan was employed to do Dean's non-adult business but Dan become more interested in the adult side and went out on his own as a pornographer.
"Dean's got little business interest in porn anymore. Shannon split a few months ago with his partner Rick Ramage and wound down their databases. Dean's Intergal is now run by Shane and Murray. They pay Dean royalties.
"Shannon's taking off with his non-adult ventures. He has a pay-per-click search engine called Pageseeker.com. Pay-per-click is an emerging market in mainstream, after proving its worth in the porn world. Dean's developing products called "Unreal Sports" such as "Unreal Racing."
"Toast.com was Dean's original vehicle for his non-adult offerings but Toast is a registered trademark in the US. So he's going with Dark Blue Sea, as the name for operation. He's raised money in the private equity market and will probably go public on the Australian stock exchange in July or August.
"The downturn in the Nasdaq has not much affected Shannon because his plans are all profit and business focused, not pie in the sky schemes.
Hicks started his own operation with a great email list (which probably belonged to Shannon). Daniel walked into the offices of various members of the infamous Aussie Porn Mafia and everybody mailed to the list. But Daniel never gave them the remove list, so when the Aussie porners mailed to the list, they brought down all kinds of heat on themselves. It even got leading porn credit card processor IBill shut down for a few days by Paul Vixie's Realtime Black Hole List which monitors spammers.
Scott Phillips writes: "Daniel is a self styled Brisbane net porn god, who strangely has not made one dollar out of the industry. His one claim to fame is stealing playgals mailing list after he was fired (he incorrectly told me he was a part owner) and attempting to sell it to all and sundry. As far as I can tell the only thing he is good at is launching vexatious legal actions. Oh yeah, hes is a raving flaming, lisp speaking homosexual, with all the homo baggage that goes along with that."
Hicks borrowed some bucks from Lasrado and they had a falling out.
Daniel feels he's been screwed by everybody and the screwing was neither emotionally nor spiritually satisfying.
Dan now says there's a war going on between the rival families of the Aussie Porn Mafia and he's right in the middle of it.
We're hoping to get live reports from the scene of the fighting in Brisbane on today's Luke F-rd Live.
Yohan Lewish and Guy McKenzie, former key associates of the Greg Lasrado porn family, launched their own syndicate this year.
I hear they received a huge settlement from Lasrado that nobody's allowed to talk about.
Over the past two weeks, Lewis and McKenzie toured the United States, paying respectful calls to our men of honor.
Guy and Yohan met with content provider Jeff Miller in Southern California and set up credit card processing accounts with IBill in Florida.
I hear that Lasrado's internet porn operation is down to $600,000 a month from its peak of over $3,000,000 a month.
Lasrado's about to launch a new project under a different name.
Guy was supposed to marry in March so he may now be on his honeymoon.
XXX says: Lasrado still commands much loyalty in the industry but his staff is not happy with him. Greg hired some players. Greg has a new woman. His ex-fiance Melissa Crosker has moved out on her own, and has an apartment in Brisbane.
When Al Hunt from IBill was originally brought on by Lasrado, the deal was that Greg was no longer going to be part of the day to day operations of his porn empire.
Hunt came back to the United States for six weeks to get a divorce. When Al returned to Brisbane, Greg, with his finger back in the day to day porn operation, sent Hunt to the Gold Coast and the Barrier Reef to go diving for a few weeks. When Hunt came back, he discovered that he was no longer running the show. Greg was running the show.
This produced feelings of anxiety, insecurity and lack of self worth on the part of Hunt who will probably break with Lasrado shortly.
Greg Lasrado tells Luke: "Al Hunt never ran my porn side he always looked after the mainstream things as he does now. Casino traffic etc."
Mike Blow, who also came from IBill in Florida to Lasrado in Brisbane, has already returned to the United States because of his feelings of emotional disappointment and professional letdown with Lasrado.
I tell you, every eight months Lasrado likes to turn his operation upside down. He likes to fire his partners, restructures everything and launches new programs. And we're at the eight month mark now.
Two of Lasrado's top players, his marketing guy and his search engine guy, have left.
What's going on with Greg Lasrado and his casino ventures? I believe he drives traffic to casino sites. I thought he was going to put up his own casino site.
Adult traffic doesn't convert with casino sites so I don't know where Lasrado's getting his casino traffic.
Greg's mate Scott Phillips operates several casino sites.
The average casino player costs $250 in advertising to attract to your site. Then he'll average $275 a month while staying an average of six to eight months.
Luke emailed Greg Lasrado about the mysterious Daniel Hicks, the man at the eye of the hurricane.
Lasrado replies: "not too much really. from what i know of him he is a nice enough guy. we have had our arguements but all in all he is ok. why. and no he didnt borrow a lot of money from me.
"Nothing has really changed..... I was wondering why you are asking me all these questions. Lately i have done nothing but the same old s--- day in day out. The only thing i have been doing differently is spend less time on this bloody computer."
Sachin Tendulkar Breaks Australia's Heart
From News.com.au: CHENNAI: Sachin Tendulkar all but broke Australia's heart yesterday and has surely shattered the fading dream of a series victory in India for the first time in 31 years.
The world's best batsman scored 126 and with great support from an ever more potent Rahul Dravid (81) put India in a seemingly impregnable position before Australia claimed 5-24 to have the home side 9-480 at stumps on the third day of the third and final Test.
India now lead by 89 on a wearing wicket with two days to play, suggesting the drained tourists will have another tough time combating India's spinners.
Tendulkar played an innings of controlled brilliance which could not have been crafted by anyone else in the game. He was eventually caught behind from a bottom edge cutting at a delivery from the lion-hearted Jason Gillespie after occupying the crease for five and three-quarter hours, facing 230 balls and hitting 15 fours and two sixes.
Brandon Iron Fired From Extreme?
I hear that Extreme Associates let go Brandon Iron aka Alec James Hiddell.
Roger Pipe writes: FYI, Brandon is not Andy Armageddon, that's David Luger, the artist formerly known as Cookieman at Elegant Angel.
InsideAdult.com reports: Performer/director Brandon Iron's been creaming more teenage girls than Clearasil these days. Legend Video's Jeff Steward told AVN that Iron and his faithful sidekick Mark Wood have been commissioned to produce a young girl series for Legend's Visual Images line called Try-a-Teen. Steward, who insists that Iron and Wood are "a couple of geniuses," says he's looking forward to revivifying the Visual Images line, which has been the province of "comps and she-males" in past months.
Katja Kean Hosts Academy Awards Show On Danish TV
I hear that former Sin City contract girl Katja Kean will help host from Copenhagen, Denmark a locally produced show on America's Academy Awards show aka the Oscars (Sunday night). I hear Katja's coming back to Sin City.
I talked Tuesday morning to a key member of the new Sex.com management team.
Daron Babin (SEGuru) will run the site along with webmaster Brian Jones and attorney Greg Geelan (aka Otto...one of the owners of YNOT).
Hollywood Producer Tries To Hire Porn Girl, Fails
A friend of mine produces movies in mainstream. I asked him if he ended up hiring the actress with a background in porn.
He writes me: I fought for her but finally the other producers said "no." It was quite painful as I was the one who had to deliver the bad news.
Here was a girl with talent trying to crawl out of a sewer. I told her the truth, that she was being rejected because of her porn background. It made people nervous. Was she on drugs? Would she start turning tricks on location? Would she even show up? She was shattered, but thanked me for trying. I urged her to keep going to casting calls, to stop doing porno, that sooner or later she would get a job because she has talent.
Frankly, I'm depressed about the whole thing. I've just finished listening to a wonderful tape by Rabbi Tatz about Judaism and free will. How modern secular thought tries to deny free will to people and replace it with chemical urges that cannot be denied. Here was a girl exercising free will in a most wonderful way and not only did she get flat rejection, but --and this is what I really hated-- the others ridiculed her behind her back with crude sexual jokes. Call me crazy, but porn girls trying to be non-porn girls deserve better. At least that's what I learn from the Torah.
Luke says: Dear XXX: Thanks for the report. I can empathize with what you were trying to do. In fact, I totally agree with it and can see myself doing the exact same thing.
Yet, I'm a contrarian... So another of my instincts, to be honest, is to side with your producers... It's sort of like what rabbis do to potential converts. Turn them away three times... Porners come into these things with great self created baggage and they can only expect these sort of crude put downs, etc, because they brought it on themselves.
I admire what you did..and as I know nothing about the girl, I can't really judge this particular situation... But all in all, over time, judging these matters on percentage bases, porn girls are whores who are not good self justifying risks, even when they're trying to better themselves. The onus is on them to prove themselves... And I don't exclude myself from the porners category in the sense that I identify in many unfortunate ways with these fallen creatures.
Fred writes Luke: I'm somewhat surprised that they would be crushed by rejection. First of all, I think almost anybody but the A-list legit actors/actresses get tons of rejections during the course of a normal carrer. Second, anyone who does porn has to know that they are likely to run into this problem. It couldn't possibly be a surprise. Don't you agree?
Helpful writes: The producers have a point. If this production was to ever be on commercial TV would religious groups boycott its sponsors? Would the presence of a "porn chick" over shadow the movie in the press? Was she just using the mainstream film to bolster her XXX career? Many angles to consider here.
Chaim Amalek writes: Suppose this young woman had NOT been a porn star. Would this Hollywood producer have made as big a play to get her a part in his picture? I suspect that he was secretly thinking "Hmmm .... she's only a whore, so if I get her this job, lots of nooky for me." Maybe I am being too harsh here, but since 97% of what those folks in Hollywood do revolves around appearances, it is difficult for me to get all choked up at either end. (The porner trying to improve her lot in life can get out of the trade anytime she wants too, same as you Luke. Her reasons for staying in the trade are the same as yours, Luke.)
And since you know so many Gedolim, why haven't you turned it into something for yourself? Surely there is enough in the life of l-keford.com to provide the basis for a movie. The only valid answer is that you are reeling them in very, very slowly.
I have been seeing a fair number of foreign movies of late. It pains me to say this, but I have noted an inverse relationship between the emotional veracity of a movie and the degree to which jews have been involved in its production. Movies made by jewish Hollywood seem to be less truthful (and far more socially toxic) than movies made by muslims in Iran or even Christians in England. It simply cannot be good for America that secular jews should have as big a role to play in cinema as they have here. (Similarly, it is not healthy to our political culture that half of the money flowing into the coffers of the democratic party comes from jews.)
PS Special note to all you porn chicks who think you have a future in film: even if you win over the (male) director and the (male) producer, you can forget about it. These folks have wives and girlfriends and female employees, and damn few of them are going to be rooting for you. Women who think they have made it on their own without resort of sleeping around detest women who have sex for cash.
Helpful writes Luke: True! Your memoirs will take years to write while a script treatment only 48 hour coke fueled binge. No offense Luke, but your life is a comedy goldmine not seen since Dan Quale's.
Bob Jones writes: I would not have hired her either, at least not until she's be gone from porn for a few years. You have to assume these people have a lot of baggage; drugs, emotional issues, nutty boyfriends or families, all the kind of things that can make someone flakey.
In my senior year of college, I met a woman who was very cute and seemed entirely normal, bright, and mature. A week later, after I paged her, and eventually got her out of jail (its own story) I found out that she was a recovering drug addict and former prostitute. I tried to help her, taking her to NA meetings and such. I got to know her and her life, and realized pretty quickly that despite all appearances, she'd gotten involved with that stuff because she was a very twisted pretzel, and her life wasn't going to be turned around by me or anyone. People who get involved in an illicit lifestyle, be it drugs, prostitution, and I'll willing to venture the guess and say stripping and porn, are incredibly manipulative. I think you know this, Luke. They have no trouble faking stability, honesty, or a genuine desire to live a normal life. But they're faking it. They don't know how to live an upstanding life, which is why they got into whatever they are into in the first place.
Heather Barron writes: HB In reponse to the porn girl trying to make it in mainstream acting, I think that situation about him fighting for her is s---. That's what he told her, but that might not be the real deal.
Just because she made adult movies, doesn't mean she ever touched drugs. I haven't. But I know a lot of legit industry persona that do dope regularly. Hell, many of the who's who are swingers or hire escorts on occasion. These same guys wouldn't give a porn girl her legit break but they would definitely reward her for her "creativity" in private... and pay her.
Due to popular misconcerption, not all mainstream actors make big bucks. The ones that do are few and far between. Porn is a privilege, not a last resort, fot those that use it wisely.
If Joe Esterhas were to buy the Chicken Ranch and write a movie about it, it would probably be swooped up for 2.5 million smackeroos and Premiere would run a story about his crossover entrepreneurship. Crossover has nothing to do with Hollywood liberals vs. conservatives and more to do with sexism. Even mainstream hopefuls are subjected the "I'll help you get a gig in return for a few hours incall."
So, take the porn part out of the equation. I am convinced that the only way to move up in Hollywood is gain power by being profitable. The entertainment business is just that, a business, driven as much by the economy and the stock market as by other factors.
I was listening to a radio show yesterday that indicated that personal relationships dictate what happens in this town. Not luck. Not talent. And that makes a lot of sense. We help those that we trust and respect. And in Tinseltown, it is especially hard to build trust amidst all the crap.
New Wicked Girl - Sydnee Steel
I hear that Michael Raven's wife Sydnee Steel will be the new Wicked girl.
Heather Lere Busted?
I hear that Heather Leer did get busted in Chicago last week. She was on tour for Adult Star Fantasy and was working for the busted Chicago agency Foxy Lady.
ASF says Heather was not busted.
Frank writes: Olivia went to Chicago for Body Miracle a few weeks ago... She was set up with a cop but she was smart enough to figure it out. The guy got naked, she stayed dressed, and "hotel security" knocked on the door. It was Vice but they let her off as long as she left Chicago. The point is that these agencies who are sponsoring tours (namely Body Miracle, Exotica 2000) are not screening their clients and are putting the girls in real danger. What if it was a psychopath and not a cop?
I understand that Adult Star Fantasy (ASF) operates a rigorous screening process. They're selective in both their choice of escorting girls and in their choice of clients. For instance, a few weeks ago, ASF turned down the opportunity to work again with Olivia.
Luke Gets Mail
Fujiko writes: Do you know if companies specializing in hard sleazy XXX like Legend, Zane, Evil/Elegant Angel, Metro, etc. are (or plan to)cutting certain videos what with the new republican administration? I know Heatwave caved in.
Luke says: I believe that most everybody in porn is becoming more conservative.
Ari writes: I just got back from three weeks in Honolulu on business (it's true!) and I had a great time. In their newspaper, the Honolulu Advertiser, the adult ads are in the sports section (as they are in most papers). Anyway, every ad had a picture and advertisement for "Patricia Ford" videos. I wondered who she was, because I never read about her on Luke F-rd.com and she is not listed in your "stars" biographies. When I finally got back home, I looked her up on the web. Here is some information about her: http://www.red-hot-celebs.com/patricia-ford/bio.htm
I realized that the reason she is so heavily advertised in Hawaii is because, she is Hawaiian! The ads speak of "the one hard-core movie starring Patricia...are you tired of bikini shots? We are!" And all this time I thought Patricia Ford was a distant cousin of yours, Luke F-rd, and you were trying to hide her from us. But we found you out!
Lynne L-patin writes: I have given some serious thought to your choice to have a pallet on the floor rather than a some other sleeping construct. I thought back to the first time I was in your hovel, and you asked me to have contact with your bedding. I would of course have been perfectly willing to f--- on the floor, even with you, but then I'll f--- anywhere I think it might be fun and free from interference by law enforcement.
You have recently discussed your hovel sleeping arrangement, bathtubs and rocks as places that you could potentially or actually have had sex. What I sense is an aversion to the traditional bed. Even putting aside the SDA health advice regarding the benefits of sleeping on the floor, I think you have some deeply ingrained behavioral issues associated with traditional beds.
Did you spend a lot of time in beds with your sick birth mom? Just a thought. Is it somehow degrading to f--- a girl on the floor....do you ever meet a woman and think, "I would NEVER degrade this woman by f---ing her on the floor?" You're gonna be a bad influence on me yet, Luke, and I'll get snotty and refuse to give it up until some guy puts me in a Poconos heart-shaped hot tub....
Hi Luke, It's Me Again!
Hi Luke, it's me, Cindy Plenum! I am looking for someone who can turn my life story into an indie movie. It would be a great movie, one with all sorts of things happening and morals, too! Is your friend "MrHollywoodJew" such a person, or is he just pretending?
What time would you like me to phone in today? And while I hate to be a prima donna, who else is going to be on today? Is that mean James Diregorrio going to be on too? I don't think I care for his attitude. While I might not be all who I was on my bad days, I still was who I was, and don't forget it.
The Order Thanks Luke
Chaim Amalek writes: I do not know ANYTHING about this XXX, save what you tell me about him. For all I know he is a pretend friend, someone you invented or appropriated to increase your standing in the eyes of others, like YYY. (Not that we disapprove!)
But on a more serious note, on behalf of The Order, we would like to thank you for all the good things you have done on our behalf. Our ideas are reaching an audience that otherwise would not ever have heard of Dr. Pierce. Your web site is helping to build the bonds of racial solidarity among white men so crucial for our survival as a people. We also strongly approve of your efforts to infiltrate the enemy camp. (Joining a temple frequented by important jews was a master-stroke of craft! Are you in a position to join the ADL? Might you possibly date a lonely secretary in their employ?) Your name is destined to be inscribed in the Book of Racial Heros, a book likely never to be read by the masses.
