James DiGiorgio Sensationally Funny On DP Tonight
2003-02-25 21:19:31

I left my house at 5:25PM. It usually takes me an hour to get to Digital Playground. But there's no traffic and I arrive at 5:45PM. It takes me hours to figure out why there was no traffic but now I think I know. People watched TV news and the weathercasters said it was supposed to pour with rain, so they stayed home. The roads were amazingly empty.

I schmooze with Robby D and Adella for half an hour. Then Jimmy DiGirgio walks in with Harry Weiss.

Harry, in porn ten years: "I made sure he got here on time."

Jimmy, upon seeing me: "Oh, there's my ideological enemy.

"You know your Alexa ranking has nothing to do with you. It's a webmaster resource site. All the webmasters are coming there to post to your bulletin board."

I don't know why Jimmy has turned so hostile towards me since the ABC show on Belladonna and I said I was the only journalist in porn because unlike the rest I did not try to protect the industry.

Vandalia, a big girl with big fake breasts, walks in with her friends Felicia Fox and her hubby Tim Case. They've all spent time in Dayton, Ohio, and they know Amee Donovan.

Jim to Vandalia: "Watch whatever you say to him. He can't be trusted. DUC, let me ask you a question. Can you be trusted?"

Luke: "Depends."

Jim: "If she said something to you and then decided she didn't want you to print it, could you be trusted not to print it?"

Luke: "Depends on what it is she told me. If she told me there was somebody out there working with AIDS and transmitting AIDS to people, and then she decided she didn't want to print it, and I indepedently verified it, no, I wouldn't abide by her desire for me not to print it. I'm proud of outing Marc Wallice."

Adella walks in and asks Jimmy, Felicia and Vandalia to follow her. She tells the rest of us to help ourselves to anything we want.

Jim: "Does that include Devon?"

Adella gets a disgusted look on her face.

Harry: "Jimmy's going to have the largest natural breasts on that couch. And the hairiest."

Tabitha Stevens and Devon come in drink some caffeinated soft drinks (Coke for Devon and Mountain Dew for Tabitha). Tabitha's psyched about appearing on Howard Stern Friday.

Tabitha: "Howard [Stern] has called me the Mother Theresa of porn. Because I do the freakiest things. I did Butt Billionaire but we didn't get to do it because he had no boner. But it was just a fun show. William Shatner rubbed my ass and that made it all worth it."

Harry Weiss's biggest PR coup to date was landing Ron Jeremy, Nicole Sheridan and Houston on Win Ben Stein's Money.

Tabitha Stevens used to take singing lessons. She lets out a huge burp, then leans over and asks if I caught it on tape.

Tabitha: "I have these high leg shoes in black and white. I bought them from Fredericks of Hollywood for $40 a pair. A bunch of us went on a photo shoot together. I guess I left my shoes somewhere. The wardrobe lady picked them up and sold Devon my shoes for $20."

Devon: "I went to Tabitha and I go, 'I have those same ones in black.' And she said, 'Really? So did I.'"

Devon and Tabitha Steven (who's manic) cohost. They burp and fart a lot and make jokes about it.

Tabitha: "Guys, can you see us through the fog?"

Later....

Tabitha: "I'm going to cry about the space shuttle."

Devon: "What space shuttle?"

Tabitha: "Remember when the space shuttle blew up?"

Devon: "Yeah."

Tabitha: "And I called you and you hadn't watched the news yet."

Devon: "I don't like to watch the news. It's too negative."

Tabitha: "I was watching the news when the space shuttle happened. I called Devon. And she said, 'Was anybody hurt?'"

Devon: "Maybe they put monkeys on it."

Felicia Fox and her friend Vandalia join the show.

Tabitha yells out to James DiGiorgio, sitting in the back: "James, are you on contract with VCA?"

Jim: "No."

Tabitha: "We did a couple of projects. On The Sopornos, we didn't even have a script. We just improved the whole thing."

Jim: "That's right. That's why I was nominated [by AVN] for Best Screenplay."

Tabitha: "We had no idea what we were doing. We were [told] to talk like we were from New York and f---."

Tabitha does a mean New York-accent. "I should be mainstream but I'm not."

Devon: "I'm sorry. You can act too."

Tabitha, thrice divorced: "When I pretend that I'm in love."

Tabitha and Devon are hilarious together. They're best friends and it shows.

Tabitha: "I'm like this all the time. And I'm not even f---ed up. Imagine if I was?

"Joone, one day, can we have cocktails on this show, just to be retarded?"

An email comes in inquiring about the private parts of asian men. The four girls deny any knowledge of such things.

Devon squeals to Tabitha: "You've been married to an Asian ----."

Tabitha's second marriage was to Kenny Gallo aka Kenji, a man who was busted by the feds on a RICO charge because of his connections to organized crime. Kenny is half Japanese and half Italian. He and Tabitha Stevens own an adult bookstore in Orange County. They divorced in 1997.

Tabitha: "He had a dogleg to the left. Last night, Kenny came over to Devon's house. We made him get naked. We made him do the bean dance. We called him Farmer Kenny."

Devon: "He's very subservient."

Tabitha: "That's what I like about him. Every morning, he would bring my orange juice, bagel and vitamins out at 6AM. I wouldn't get up for another six hours. My bagel was a little dry."

Devon: "Mike South is talking smack again: 'PUT some ludes in the Mt Dew.'"

Tabitha: "I wish. If I had a lude, I'd take it right in front of you. When I drink caffeine, I'm the craziest person.

"I can't do cocaine. It would kill me. My heart would just blow out."

Devon: "You wouldn't stop talking for three weeks straight."

JMT writes in and Devon reads: "Tell JimmyD he is not under any circumstances to discuss his nuts during his appearance. Also caution him not to block our view of any of the naked girls."

Tabitha: "Joone's [owner of Digital Playground] brother called me. I know he wants to pork.

"I'm still best friends [with Kenny Gallo, husband number two]. He's on the road with..."

Devon: "Someone we don't like."

Jim: "Who?"

Tabitha: "I'll give you an example. Bad, bad skin. Facial skin. Not bad looking in photos. Great in photos, bad skin."

Jim: "Mr. Marcus?"

No.

Tabitha: "She used to have a [Vivid] contract with the last name Raines. [Dayton Raines]"

Jim: "She had a VCA contract for three minutes and then she flaked. I was there when she flaked. It wasn't my movie but I was on the set when she flaked."

Tabitha: "Did you see her skin?"

Jim: "Yeah."

Tabitha: "Did you like it? Be honest."

Jimmy doesn't want to go there. "I shot Dayton Raines in a helicopter."

Devon: "She was the one that was farting out of her pussy in Hawaii. And she had big warts all over it. Everyone was scared to work with her.

"I directed for a year and a half."

Jim: "For who?"

Devon: "Not a good company [Jill Kelly Productions]. They never paid me my royalties."

Tabitha: "They haven't paid me mine either."

Devon: "They haven't paid anybody their royalties. Why put it in a contract if you are not going to do it?"

Jim: "That's the porn way."

Tabitha: "Didn't Kenny beat up everyone at Sin City?"

Jim: "No, Kenny did not beat up anybody at Sin City."

Tabitha: "I heard he beat up everybody."

Jim: "No, [URL=http://www.l-keford.com/stars/male/david_sturman.html]he brought wiseguys [like Jimmy Caci] into Sin City.[/URL]"

Tabitha: "Shhh...We don't talk about wiseguys, they're my friends."

From l-keford.com's David Sturman (owner of Sin City) profile:

XXX says: You know who sent Jimmy Caci (West Coast mobster whose contacts go up to Sonny Franzese of the Colombo crime family) to Sin City to shake down David Sturman in 1995? It was Ken Gallo, aka Kenji, that Japanese guy who thinks he's a mobster.

You can see Jimmy Caci and Ken Gallo and Tabitha Stevens in this picture.

Gallo claimed that Sin City owed him money. I think they screwed David over which is why David was being a hardass. They got into a screaming match. There were a lot of people in the building when it happened.

Kenny called these people (Jimmy Caci and company) in from Palm Springs. David got into an argument with them. David told they to go f-ck themselves. And they said they were going to make a phone call. David said, 'You're going to make a f-cking phone call? I'll make a f-cking phone call. I'll make your f-cking phone call sh-t in your pants.' In other words, David can make a bigger phone call. And those guys left.

Luke: They left with thousands of David's dollars.

XXX: They left with way less money than was owed Kenny. I know they settled for less, for like $9,000 out of $15,000. David was ballistic. He was pissed beyond belief. He was screaming. 'You bring these f-cking wiseguys into my f-cking place?' And then David tried to blackball Kenny Gallo. He said that GVA would not buy anything that had Kenny Gallo's name on it. I'm sure he still won't talk to Kenny Gallo.

YYY says: This Israeli guy Ben, through Jerry Zimmerman, sold a movie to Mickey Blank at Sin City. And Sin City never bothered to pay. So Jimmy Caci went down there and collected the money from David Sturman. Later, Sin City owed money to Kenny Gallo for the Buck Adams movie Blade. The video rights were sold to Kevin Beechum and David Sturman bought the foreign and cable rights. David claimed that Buck owned the money and that he didn't owe Kenji any money. So Kenji showed him the copyright on the movie.

So Kenji and Jimmy Caci and a couple of other guys went into Sin City to pay David Sturman a call. And Buck Adams and Mickey Blank and a bunch of guys were there. Buck got thrown out. And David said, 'I don't know what you guys are making such a big deal about. It's only $13,000.'

An argument erupted. David tried to weasel his way out and that he knew people, muscle, too. So Jimmy says, 'Get on the phone bubblegum chewing motherf-cker. Call who you've got to call.' And of course, David didn't call anyone because he can't. He has no muscle. Just because you have money doesn't mean anything. Then Mickey Blank interjected until he got told to shut up. And Gallo got his check.

Jimmy Caci made hundreds of thousands of dollars off of porno. But he and the other mobsters hate to be called pimps. But they take the money. They shake people down and they're silent partners with pornographers.

Jimmy Caci was good friends with Butchie and Tony Peraino and LP Duplication and "Big Chris" Natale Richichi (a captain in the Gambino family). Big Chris's son Sal owned L.A. Video with Kevin Beechum. Big Chris lived in Las Vegas. He just died.

David Sturman Blackballs Kenny Gallo From Jill Kelly Shoot

I hear that Sin City Video owner David Sturman blackballed porn producer Kenny Gallo from working on a shoot for Jill Kelly Productions this week at the Sin City studio.

A few years ago, Buck Adams producer Kenji aka Kenny Gallo came in to Sin City with several Mafia guys, including Palm Springs mobster Jimmy Caci, and muscled David into paying him.

A porner tells Luke: David had nothing to do with banning Kenny from the Jill Kelly shoot. Maybe it was someone who worked for David.

Luke: "Who is Kenny Gallo?"

Porner: "Exactly. Who is? He talks sh-t about David [Sturman] and Mark [Snyder]... Kenny knows why he couldn't go into David's building. He knows his past relationship where he f-cked up."

An inside source says: "David made a deal with Buck Adams. And Buck owed Kenny Gallo money. So Kenny took it upon himself to hire these junior Mafia guys to extort money from David because Buck owed him. Sturman bought the foreign rights to the movie. And once David got paid, David paid Buck. And then Kenny Gallo showed up at David's door.

"David could've made calls to New York but he worried about his family. So he just paid the money and that was it.

"David didn't know who these mobsters were. They were these midget Italian guys. David called Kevin Beechum who said he'd take care of these guys. David's a Jewish guy from the suburbs and is not used to this."

..............................................

Jim: "Then [Kenny] used to be partners with Buck Adams. What happened to Buck? He's disappeared."

Tabitha: "He didn't die from crack, did he?"

Jim: "He died one time on set and had to revived."

Jim: "DUC has a question - wiseguys at Sin City. He's always looking for wiseguys, everywhere he goes. Read setgo.com to read all his writing about the Mob's infiltration of the porn business."

Tabitha: "DUC did something about me and my connections."

Devon: "We love DUC because he comes to all of our Digital Playground shows."

Jim: "That's because he's hoping to find out about gangsters."

Tabitha: "DUC is pretty f---ing fine and I'd f--- him."

Jim: "I've seen DUC's equipment. He was on one of my sets. Kiki D'Aire pants him. And I have a photograph of it. And he was sporting wood when she pants him. Tomorrow on simplyimmyd.com, if you all log on, I will post that picture."

Wild applause.

Jimmy: "It looks really bushy."

Devon: "My friend Kiki loves defilement."

Tabitha: "Everybody out there in mainstream, I know what I'm doing. If you give me a script, I'll read it. And if I don't like it, I will tell you it sucks and I'll ad lib it."

Jim says Tabitha should sell her old implants.

Tabitha: "I don't want to copy...Houston [who sold her labia on the internet]."

Tabitha says she got another Jaguar for her birthday. "I can't talk about Joone's car. My Mob friends might come after me and say, 'Yo...'"

Joone drives a Mercedes.

Tabitha: "I got a raise...out of his brother's pants."

Tabitha had a scheduled meeting today with Joone over a Virtual Sex DVD but she had to cancel it to get hair extensions to go on the Howard Stern Show Friday.

Jimmy to Tabitha: "How do you know he [Joone's brother] has a big c---? Adella spreading rumors again. Did she put that in the press release? Come on Adella, you'd know."

Tabitha: "Johnathan Morgan lost seven condoms in me during one scene. I had to keep pulling them out."

Jim: "Some of the porn guys use Magnums [condoms for large sized men] when they shouldn't be.

"Was this before or after his girlfriend shot at him? She went away for a couple of years. When she got out, she moved back in with him."

Tabitha: "Can I tell a story and not get in trouble? I did a Wicked movie for him. I had a question and he held his hand out [to say, don't bother me now]. Then he tells me, 'If you ever really want to win an award, maybe you should work with me more often.'

"He told a friend of mine that she could have a part in his movie if she sucked his dick."

Jim: "Would you believe that someone would say that in the porn business?"

Tabitha: "That's why you are a director now Johnathan. You were rude to me. That wasn't cool.

"Johnathan looks like Jeff Goldblum in [the movie] The Fly."

Hollie Stevens, a stunning tall shy blonde, comes on as the first Virgin Vixen of the night. She will do her first hardcore scene Wednesday. Next Virgin Vixen is Roy Garcia's Thai girl Ashanti, who sports tiny natural breasts.

Jim: "Oh yeah, there's going to be room [on the couch]."

Jimmy moves Felicia on to his lap.

Tabitha: "I got connections. L-ke F-ord. I've got connections. I will take care of it [a problem] that way. Don't worry about it. But I'm not doing it in the trunk of a car."

Jim: "I want everyone to know that these porn girls are really scrappy. Every one of them is scrappy. You don't want to get into a problem with them. Holly looks like a pushover. I don't even know her. Trust me, she'll kick the s--- out of every one of you's out there."

Tabitha to Jim: "You're a tub of s---."

Jim: "Talk about beards down there, you should see the picture of DUC."

Tabitha: "We should do a shaving of DUC on the next show."

Jim: "DUC has a pretty good one. He's no shrimp on the barbie."

Tabitha: "I'm going to be even finer at [age] 40. With all the plastic surgery I've had..."

Jim: "They will call you Frankinstephens. Did you use Houston's doctor?"

Tabitha: "No. Actually, he did my cheek implants and he f---ed them up."

Tabitha had a bunch of plastic surgery on her face and body.

Jim: "When you get old, are you going to take all that s--- out of you?"

Tabitha: "Why? I'm happy with it.

"My mother is a government employee and they are very well to do. It's funny. People think, 'Oh, she's in porn. She probably has no money. She comes from a crappy family.' No. My family is rad. Money. We kick ass. For all you people who think I'm a stupid porn chick, you are so wrong."

Jim: "There was a [URL=http://www.l-keford.com/stars/male/buck_adams.html]porn chick [Aspen Brock?], the one Buck Adams[/URL] was going to marry, whose father was an oil tycoon."

Devon: "She OD'd on my set on GHB and we thought she was dead."

Tabitha: "I passed out from GHB for half an hour one time."

Jim: "Drugs in the porn business?"

Devon: "There are more people out in clubs doing drugs than there are in porn."

Tabitha: "I'm not going to do crap and look like sh--."

Jim: "Do you do Xanax?"

Tabitha: "Xanax I take. Every woman in the country has a bottle of Xanax."

Devon: "If I take one Ecstasy [tablet], it makes me [hostile]."

Jim: "I've seen girls take Ecstasy and they want to get gangraped."

Tabitha: "I got into the industry [at age 25] because I was a bored housewife. I had tons of money. I wanted to be famous. I'm in the Screen Actors Guild. I did national TV commercials. Now Howard Stern for the seventh time in a year."

Jim: "Like directors like Joone and I. We're just doing it for the art.

"As a director, you have to know certain things about people. For instance, if you are shooting Nick Manning, don't put a mirror on the set."

From MikeSouth.com:

I Was Gonna Skip Mentioning DPTonight Till I got the Following Email:

"Could it be more glaringly obvious that Tabitha Stephens, trying to make a comeback in XXX after a well-deserved retirement, has latched onto Devon like a cat clinging to a piece of plastic in the middle of a raging flood? It amazes me that Digital Playground, which has always seemed to conduct itself with a certain measure of class, has seen fit to hoist this crackhead shrike upon us every other Tuesday. She sits there on that couch, perched like a hawk next to airhead Devon (whose uppity attitude and sheer rudeness to the public is fast earning her the nickname "Tera Jr.") and the whole IQ of the show just begins to plummet clean out of sight. It almost makes me wish we had Ms. Patrick back. "

I was extremely disappointed in the show last night, though my criticism wouldn't have been as harsh as yours. What bothers me most about this show, as I have stated before, is that it SHOULD have huge potential, instead it looks more like something Leisure Time would throw together, and I KNOW that DP can do better. Between the fart jokes and Tabitha's hyped up stream of conciousness chittering and brutal slaps at Jilly Kelly Productions and Dayton Raines, (JKP deserved it BTW I dunno Dayton) JimmyD did manage a few funny comments. This should have been a good show....It wasn't. I know the peeps at DP are gonna read this and I love em all but I don't even blow smoke up my own ass and I aint gonna do it to them either, I owe them that. It sucked, period. Talking about Dayton having genital warts on the show was a bit much, as were personal attacks on Jonathon Morgan (Not my favorite person either but just damn)
