Gene Ross writes: "I heard that AVN's Heidi Pike Johnson reviewed a Devinn Lane movie and gave it a 2-A rating." I hear that Wicked asked that the movie not be reviewed because it was filled with technical gaffes. They were fixed. The movie was resubmitted and the review should hit the AVN site this week. I think this is standard practice at AVN. Porn Star Karaoke Kat Lexi Marie, Penny Lane Lexi, Penny Penny, friend Penny, friend Lisa Sparxxx Lisa, Lani Lisa, Lani Penny Lane Penny Penny Kat, friend Gigi Jamie Gigi, Jamie, Kat Gigi, Jamie, Kat Jamie, Tim, Kat Josh, Chico Wang Chico, Kat Kat Kat I begin the night at a Hollywood panel discussion. People ask me if I'm drunk. Why I'm acting so crazy. At Porn Star Karaoke on Shane's World night (the biggest turnout I've seen), people ask me why I am so serious. I interviewed three girls (Kat, Jamie, Gigi) from Naughty Talent as well as publicist (and former AVN writer) Wayne Hentai and director Chico Wanker Wang. I interview Kat, 19, first. She wears brace and stands 5' tall. She weighs 98 pounds. Tod Hunter stands beside me. We're outside. It's cool. Kat wears short-sleeves. She shivers. Duke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?" Kat smiles. She's bubbly. "When I was three, I wanted to be a ballerina. When I was six, a doctor. When I was ten, an actor. Now I want to write. I want to get into journalism. I wrote a lot of poetry, depressive poetry. When I was 16, almost 18, I was just depressed because I was away from home all the time. I got caught up in drugs, so I wrote a lot. That kept me sane for a while. "When I was 18, I got out of probation and into porn. After what I've been through, now that I'm doing porn, it is way better. "I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. I've never left the Valley. "I lived in group homes [from 16 to 18]. Probation. I got into a lot of fights in school. I ditched a lot. I was known as a bad kid in school and they would always blame it on me." Duke: "Did you have an in-tact home? Did you have a mother and a father who loved you?" Kat: "I had a staff. They were really mean." Duke: "Did you have loving parents?" Kat: "My mom is single. Me and her have been through so much and now we're the only ones that live at the house. She was the first person I told I was doing porn." Kat has never spoken to her father. She says her stepdad and older brother have been father-figures to her. Duke: "Why were you acting out so much in highschool?" Kat: "For attention." Duke: "Because you weren't getting it at home?" Kat: "I was the middle child. I like to have fun. I had a really strict mom. I wasn't allowed to go out at night. I would either have to sneak out or ditch school." Duke: "Did you have a religious mother?" Kat: "Yes, she's Catholic. So am I." Duke: "Do you go to church regularly?" Kat: "Not regularly. I have to go because I have to confess." Kat hasn't been to church in eight months, the length of time she's been in porn. "I think sodomy is against the religion." She giggles. Duke: "Pretend I am your priest. What would you say?" Kat: "I want to be forgiven for having sex and because I didn't keep my promise. I lost my virginity at 18. That isn't something I wanted to do. I wanted to stay a virgin. Two months after I lost my virginity, I started doing porn." Duke: "What were the circumstances in which you lost your virginity?" Kat: "I got out of the group home at 18. I didn't have anybody close to me at that time. I needed a person. I had some guy. He was one of my friends." Duke: "How did you get into porn?" Kat: "One house that I was living at, my roommates were like 40 years old. I was the youngest one there. This one guy (Ryan) was a PA for a porn company (Anarchy). When he found out I was getting into the house, he said, watch out, I'm going to get this 18-year old girl into porn. He did. "Ryan looks like the brother from Everybody Loves Raymond." Kat had only been with two guys before entering porn. Now she's done about 90 movies in the last eight months, she says. "I did two scenes today. I'm always busy." Duke: "What do you like about porn?" Kat: "I'm ok with the lifestyle. My mom is ok with it. She's always there. She was at the show (AEE). I'm doing something different. I've always been known to do crazy weird stuff. This totally fits my description. I love to live my life this way. I'm still going to write." Tod Hunter: "If you want to write, read." Duke: "What have you been reading lately? Do you read much?" Kat: "No. The last book I read I should've read when I was 12 -- Go Ask Alice. It reminds me of me." Duke: "What do you love and hate about the porn industry?" Kat: "I love the work. I love...ohmig-d, it makes me feel like a rock star. I hate when I get caught up in it and do too much of it. I just took two weeks off. It's the longest break I've taken." Kat says she doesn't have a boyfriend. "I prefer to date. Mostly outside the industry. I've never dated a guy in the industry." Kat's cell phone keeps going off but she doesn't answer it. Duke: "What are your ambitions?" Kat: "Like, out of life? I want to reach my goals." Duke: "What are your goals?" Kat: "To have a plan. I want to write a book or something. Me and my mom have a relationship. To keep it that way. It's so hard not to fight with her." Duke: "How is your mom ok with this?" Kat: "She sees that I'm happy. I still live at home." Duke: "How is the reality of this industry different from what you expected?" Kat: "I never really thought about the industry. To me, it was a big shocker. I was thinking how wrong this is... I freaked out. I was watching naked people around me. It was weird. I always think about it. Every day I'm on set I laugh about it. How it used to freak me out. Now it's normal. It's part of my lifestyle." Duke: "Has anyone tried to push you to do things you didn't want to do?" Kat: "Yeah. Maybe small stuff. An extra BJ here and not pay you." Four times Kat has received bad checks. Confessions of a Porn Enthusiast: Before Deep Throat, There Was .
NATS Vs. MPA2 Two different ways of measuring webmaster sign-ups generate discussion on the number one webmaster board GFY. Jimbo says: "There's a thread about NATS and why JasonandAlex.com are no longer using it. These New Jersey guys (John Allbright aka PBucksJohn and Charlie and company) behind NATS bashed MPA2 software two months ago. If you use MPA2, you shave supposedly. It killed MPA2's business. Most people went out and bought NATS back-end program. Now people are realizing uh, oh. "John drives a Lamborghini. Now he stands accused of making his money off stealing other people's sales and selling bad software.

World Modeling On Tuesday Pictures snapped before going to lunch at noon. Dakota Dare Dakota Dare Dakota Dakota Rusty Nails Lisa Marie, Jim South Lisa Marie Lisa Marie Gang walk down Van Nuys Blvd Dakota, Jim Sr Jim Sr imitates Michael Jackson's moon walk while Dakota watches with admiration Dakota Dare (Randi Wright's good friend), 20, says she has been with only two men in her life. She's not counting the boys and girls she was with when she was passed out on drugs or alcohol. Dakota entered porn at age 18. She went to Meatholes. The guy paid her to spit in his face. She was so appalled she left the industry for two years. She says she needs to lose 20 pounds. She won't eat anything for lunch. Lisa Marie says she was with Lee, a black agent from Ecstasy Models. Then she returned to the World Modeling fold. Dakota: "He's disgusting. I've met him. Yech." Jim Sr to Lisa Marie: "You know that we love you. But we can't get you to show up." Lisa doesn't deny it. Jim says Lisa only shows up for about half the shoots she's scheduled for. Jim: "If the guy who's with you could beat you into submission..." We all laugh. Lisa Marie wears sunglasses. She has one red eye. Somebody shot in her eye. A work hazard. Jim South Jr and Sr saw Lisa's ex-boyfriend Tommy X the other day. He's working in a grocery store. He's put on weight. Maybe he's not doing the funny stuff. Jim South Sr. looks at Lisa and Tommy as his adopted children. Lisa: "How would you feel if I randomly show up for the casting call?" Jim Jr. yells to his dad: "Jimma Angel. That's the one who was dropped off here all day and was singing and talking to herself and doing drugs in the bathroom. She's in San Diego." Jim Sr. picks up. "There's no reason for any photographer to grab you." It was Hans Rudelstein. He took 30 free pictures of her and then groped her. Jim Sr. "There's no reason for that. He knows better." Jimma wanted to be "Jimma James." She desperately needs work so she can pay her rent. Jim invites her to a casting call Tuesday. I hear the sorry story of Aussie rocker Kalgan Rivers' no-go porn career. He couldn't get it up. He had magazines all over the place. He came in with his personal DVD player and still couldn't get it up. He mailed in some pictures. They were bad. Nobody would hire him. World Modeling's last Australian man was Tony Sexton, who got into a couple of fights and a lot of people found him obnoxious. He called himself the "Aussie Impaler." He would boast about how sweet his bum tasted. Jonathan Morgan from Wicked Pictures is shooting an X-rated comedy and needs 20 people. Summer Haze and Craig Valentine are shooting a swinger tape and need 30 people. Summer Haze and Craig Valentine write:
Jim to Lisa: "If I book you, you need to show up. I love you but I don't believe you." Lisa: "I know." Sophie Dee is a blonde from England. She'd never been with a black girl. In her first few scenes, she did scenes with big black guys. She loved it. Then Jim South booked her with a small Asian guy. She's never forgiven Jim. Sophie told Marcus in the middle of their scene: "I can't feel you." So he pounded her until she could feel him. T.T. Boy told Dakota Dare that he was half-black. He's not. He's half Puerto Rican. Dakota doesn't work with black guys. One of the rare Asian guys in the industry is Vick from Rainbow Productions. Jim South has a couple of 18-year olds working every day -- Veronica Bangg aka Autumn Bliss and Julia Bond (booked through April 16). Autumn has shot about 30 movies since I saw her last. August had a car accident. She had to stay on the set of a Marco Pallotti shoot. By the time she woke up, she couldn't move her head or get out of bed. I'm not sure if they filmed her scenes anyway. "Ladies never move," said the great pornographer and 19th Century British imperialist Lord Curzon. Dakota says she was saving herself until she hooked up with a guy with white pubes when she was 17.

Taylor St. Claire Tribute Thread Taylor recently flaked on a scheduled KSEX interview.
TSCfan writes: "If you listen to pretty much the majority of Taylor's comments on that DVD commentary and you'll see that she is very self-concious about her weight...and you're throwing it right back in her face. Then again, the truth hurts and what you are matter-of-factly saying is pretty much true." Kami Andrews writes: "your telling me haha better to be called fat than not called at all heh?"

Taylor St. Claire posts on her forum:
I first met Taylor at the end of 1998. She was afraid of coming on set because I was there. She feared I'd write about her. She said she wasn't a porn star. She was just doing a few girl-girl scenes to make some needed money. She didn't want me to photograph her face. She always seemed hyper-sensitive.

What Air Supply Means To Me II Air Supply inspires me to lead a life in accord with high values. Life is relentless and we need inspiration as we trudge along. For many years, Air Supply gave me such inspiration. Their lyrics articulated what I felt but could rarely say (except in that rare relationship or in therapy). Air Supply gives me a taste of the transcendent. As with all those who articulate a higher way of loving, they are easy to make fun of. I've been told that my essay on Air Supply was the first non-cynical thing I've written in a long time. So if I were to live in fidelity to Air Supply's lyrics on their 30th anniversary May 12, I will have to be genuine for longer than five minutes, and be emotionally honest and courageous. I admit that to speak with the honesty of Air Supply's lyrics would be inappropriate most of the time, even with your girlfriend or wife. It's too much. But Air Supply articulates what I have often felt, and even if it wasn't right most of the time to give voice to such feelings, it made me feel better that somewhere else had on my behalf.

Closer Is A Cruel, Mean-Spirited Exercise Of Meaningless Sadism I'm glad it failed at the box office. It's a smart movie, and as a movie, a good movie, and so I understand why the critics loved it. But I don't think it is insightful into the human condition, and ergo is not good art. I can enjoy and respect cruel sadistic movies, such as In The Company Of Men and other work by director Neil LaBute. But Closer was cruelty without human insight. I admit I watched Closer with rapt attention. Post writes on IMDB.com: "It's difficult to watch, ends unsettlingly with a misanthropic view of relationships (it wouldn't be my first choice for a "date flick") and some may even argue that the characters have no redeeming value whatsoever besides their fabulous bone structure..." Doubting Jenna Jameson Jenna Jameson posts on her online diary:
Well, it is a human inclination to doubt that a beautiful blonde porn star with big breasts and an awesome blowjob technique can write complete sentences correctly spelled and punctuated. For years now, many of us have doubted that it was really Jenna posting on the boards. But Jenna and her husband Jay are clear that it has only ever been her posting in her name. Jenna has been posting regularly on the web since 2000. She was a frequent guest on my internet radio show and she's always been nicer to me than my column has been to her. Not that I've been a Jenna basher, it's just that my column has been an equal opportunity board for Jenna's detractors and fans. I'm usually nice to people in person and in private emails but being nice is not a priority in my writing. Another explanation is that I am more of a keyboard warrior than someone who relishes interpersonal confrontation. I'll write something horrible about somebody and then want to kiss up to them when they call or email. Exchanging Email With Jenna Jameson/Jay Grdina Of ClubJenna.com I've finished reading Jenna's book. What a horrible life she's had. Rape. Drug addiction. Broken family. A string of bad relationships. Now everything seems good, but who would want to go through what she did? The story is a cautionary tale and it doesn't seem to predict a happy future for her. I got an email from Jay Grdina's email address but it said it was from Jenna (I initially thought it was from Jenna): "Thanks for your predictions on my future. If I listened to all the negative forecasters on my life over the years, I would be in a looney bin. So excuse me if I dismiss yours." I replied: "Your book was heartbreaking.... I didn't know. I applaud your honesty." Then I thought, that email was not from Jenna because the spelling and punctuation are perfect. That must've been from Jay. It was from his email address. Jenna/Jay replied: "Thanks so much. I thought it would be better to be as honest as I have ever been, and let the cards fall where they may. Thanks for taking the time to read it!" Jenna is honest in the book. She is not pretentious. She shares many of what must be her most painful memories. Then Jenna or Jay read my site and my comments that I now believed the email was from Jay because of the spelling/punctuation. Jay/Jenna wrote: "I think that you comments about my punctuation and spelling are ridiculous. It's funny how you are so nice to me in person, and through personal emails, but when it comes to the sludge you push through your site. well your niceness falls short. Typical. By the way, this is Jenna. I've been studying up on my grammar just for you." I reply:
The voice of the book strikes me as much more Neil Strauss than Jenna Jameson. Take the opening sentence: "There comes a moment in every life when a choice must be made between right and wrong, between good and evil, between light and darkness..." Jenna doesn't speak like that. Jay Grdina, Jenna's husband, replies:

Luke replies:
Monday evening I called somebody who knew Jenna and Jay. I read him the first email I got from Jay's email address but signed Jenna. Jack: "My guess is that was Jenna." Luke: "Jenna! Perfectly spelled and punctuated?" Jack: "Everyone's got spell-check." Luke: "Whenever I've gotten email from genuinely her, it's filled with spelling and punctuation errors [just as my own email is filled with particular spelling and punctuation errors, while many of my friends write perfectly spelled and punctuated emails]." Jack: "Then it's probably Jay. I know she writes on her website." Luke: "You know she writes that JustJennaJameson.com diary?" Jack: "Yes." Luke: "Do you think someone comes behind and cleans up the spelling errors [just as happens with some of Paul Fishbein's posts to the AVN blog]?" Jack: "Yes. They probably have a designated spell-checker, a designated doucher, a designed dog-washer. They have 10,000 people in their organization." I tell Jack about Jenna's book. I say the email came from Jay's email address. Jack: "That's definitely Jay. Or, it could be Jenna on his computer. "You've made it worse." I read the third email I receive from Jay/Jenna. Jack: "That's totally Jenna's style. Jay would get more jabby with you. Jay writes perfectly. She's no dummy." Luke: "But she can't spell." Jack: "How do you? Did you ever get a personalized card from her?" Luke: "I've read enough of her writing, her postings and emails." Jack: "It's probably Jay. You just gave your opinion. You weren't out of line. Who knows what her future will be? "Just say that you deduce a lot of things on your site. Sometimes you get it right. Most of the time you get it wrong. You guys never give me credit for the 10-50% that I get right. Everybody wants to discredit you because you know the dirt. You're speculating. You don't what her life has. How do you know she won't be hit by a bus tomorrow? That's not the nicest thing to say about somebody, but if you feel that she's had a tough life, then how are you out of line? She has been raped. She did have a drug addiction. One hundred percent of the girls in this business [are damaged souls]. "The girl made twenty million dollars last year. She's probably worth five million. These girls spend money faster than they can make it, but she's going to live an easy lifestyle the rest of her life, unless she gets reckless again. "I remember Jenna's spelling and punctuation as being pretty good. When she first started posting on GFY, everyone said there is no way this is Jenna. It must be Meni [her friend and publicist]. But it was Jenna. "They have been nice to you. You should apologize. "Jay and Jenna get touchy about anything said about them. You can't give them constructive criticism." Luke: "I just got a long personal email from her." Jack: "That's definitely her. Jay wouldn't waste his time." Luke: "I might've been wrong." Jack: "That's not something I hear you say very often. "Is Paul Fishbein going to write a book next and tell all his stories? I don't think so." In his album Annie Christ Superstar, Marilyn Manson thanks Vivid owner Steve Hirsch. Manson's managers are friendly with Steve. Jack: "Why would Marilyn thank Steve unless Steve sent him girls or crates of twisted porn? "That's funny that Jenna would write that about Joy King. I always thought Joy was a lesbian." Luke: "She's been married twice." Jack: "All girls are bi." Jenna Jameson writes:

I exchanged emails and phone messages with Mandy Taylor a couple of weeks ago during the Missy Monroe - Genesis Skye feud. I finally speak to Mandy for the first time this afternoon. I'd left her a message and sent her a couple of emails to arrange an interview. Mandy: "I've been debating whether to call or not because I'm not going to be going back out to California." Duke: "That's ok." Mandy: "I'm just going to be doing Mid-West stuff. Amateur stuff from now on." Duke: "I'd still like to talk to you." Mandy: "Ok. Ask away." Duke: "When you were a little girl, what did you want to be when you grew up?" Mandy: "A doctor." Duke: "What happened to that dream?" Mandy: "I moved out at 17 and needed to pay bills. I turned 18 and started porn." Duke: "What did your family expect you to become?" Mandy: "They expected me to become a nurse at the least. They're still expecting that. "I was a very good student in highschool but the last year I didn't go. I met a boyfriend [her current fiance, they're marrying in August]. I've always liked men and sex more than anything else. "He lived an hour-and-a-half south of me. I decided I needed to be an hour-and-a-half south instead of home. I got my GED." Duke: "Did you go to college?" Mandy: "A little bit. I started classes but I never finished. All my traveling. I'd much rather do that. "I don't have a driver's license. When you're 16, you can get a temporary license. That's what I have. "I was a very bad child. I used to get smoking fine. Where I'm from [in Wisconsin], if you get caught smoking, it's a $150 fine. I got caught smoking many times. I refused to pay the fines because I'm really stubborn. Now they won't let me get my license until I pay off all my fines (about $3,000). I put stuff off. I'm bad." Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?" Mandy: "The skaters and people who ditched classes to go outside and smoke cigarettes and smoke pot [started at 15 but quit by 18]." Duke: "What were your best classes?" Mandy: "Math and science. Straight As all the way." Duke: "How old were you the first time you had sex?" Mandy: "Twelve. Nothing happened really. I got a boyfriend. Everybody else was doing it." Mandy doesn't like shopping for clothes. "I hate shopping. It's horrible. Long lines and everything. I don't like to be in stores where it is crowded and all these people around. I get agitated standing in line while people count their change. I'm a quiet person. "Porn is a lot easier than meeting someone random on the street." Mandy has appeared in 18 porn movies and done over 100 amateur websites as well as calendars and car shows. She began as a webcam girl in 2001. Duke: "What's the craziest thing someone has had you do professionally?" Mandy: "Jim Lane stuck me in a dog cage in a five-guy blowbang. The guys were making monkey noises. He's a crazy director. He's awesome." Duke: "You look like a touch chick. I bet you could give a good punch." Mandy: "I've had a few run-ins. I'm calm and mellow now, but back in the day I got in a lot of trouble. I was sanctioned in jail [at age 15] for ten days in juvenile detention for not paying a smoking fine. Some blonde bimbo there decided to throw her lunch tray over my head because I was too mouthy. It started a huge fight. Her friend jumped in. The judge wanted to make an example of us. He gave me two battery-to-inmates, which are felonies. "I had to wear a bracelet around my ankle for almost a year. "I saw the girl and she had to wait on me. She was a waitress. Then she lost that job and she was bagging my groceries last week. She has a nice scar under her eye. I bit her under her eye. There were two girls on top of me. It was an all-out chick fight. "She was glaring at me. I didn't know if she was going to throw my groceries at my head. She didn't ask me if I wanted paper or plastic." Duke: "How much time did you spend in prison or juvenile detention, whatever it is called?" Mandy: "Probably four months. Ever since I was 17, I haven't gotten into any trouble. Nothing criminal." Duke: "What do you love and hate about the industry?" Mandy: "I love blowjobs. I hate all the drama." Duke: "But you are right there in the middle." Mandy: "It's all the jaded people. It's insane." Duke: "What were the repercussions to you from the Missy Monroe controversy?" Mandy: "I don't think any. I don't think anyone's blacklisted in porn. There are people who steal company checks and they're still working. If anything, it gave me more exposure." Duke: "How come you are not coming back to Los Angeles to make movies?" Mandy: "I don't like to travel. I just spent three weeks out there. Three weeks is way too long to be away from home. There's too much drama [in LA]. I like to be home in the Mid-West." Mandy has had her website for eight months. "I'm not smart enough to build a members area and I don't want to give my money away to someone to build it." Taylor spends her spare time gaming. "A lot of my clients come from gaming. "I want to go back to school and become a nurse, like my fiance." Duke: "How has being a porn star affected the way other people react to you?" Taylor: "Not many people around me know what I do. My neighborhood just found out two months ago. They won't allow their kids over here anymore. My fiance has a six-year old daughter. She plays with all the neighbor's kids. But since the guy I walk my dog with found me on a website, he showed it to everybody at the bar up the road. They all passed it around, including to my future mother-in-law. Nobody wants their kids over here anymore because I'm dangerous." Duke: "Do people shun you?" Taylor: "I never really talk to them anyway. You don't hear a lot of kids running rampant through the house anyway. It's a good trade-off." Duke: "Did you lose any friends over it?" Taylor: "Nope. All my friends are totally accepting of it." Duke: "Does your fiance know what you do?" Taylor: "Oh yes. He's done a few of these with me. I have a travel partner, Ashleigh Aska. She doesn't do professional porn but stuff back here. We'll drive 16 hours to New York or to Missouri or Indiana..." Duke: "How did you select the name 'Mandy Taylor'?" Taylor: "I started off as Vanessa. I worked for a site called PantyhoseAddict. They refused to put Vanessa as my name because I didn't look like a Vanessa. So they decided to call me Mandy. I went with it and picked a last name out of the phone book." Duke: "Has anyone in the industry tried to scam you?" Taylor: "I had a suitcase pimp when I first went out there who was a real piece of work -- James Dominic." Duke: "What does he do?" Taylor: "He spends his time threatening to break girls' legs or send their porn home to their parents. He claims to be an agent. He is the best friend of Renee at New Sensations. Whenever I have a go-see with Renee, she glares at me and is really mean. So I won't step foot in that building." Duke: "Who else has been creepy?" Taylor: "Leonard at PGI (Pretty Girl International). Shane and Beth at PGI are awesome. But Leonard, who is technically the driver, tells people he owns PGI. I went out to California with Genesis Skye and another girl, Danielle Stokes. He would take us on his little drug runs. He would play his favorites. I was his favorite for a while until I started telling Shane I didn't want to go on Leonard's little drug runs. Leonard badmouths people. He's bald and creepy." Duke: "Did anyone try to have sex with you on your go-sees?" Taylor: "No. Someone asked me if I would blow Leonard. Leonard was in the office. I started laughing really loud. I don't think Leonard liked that." Duke: "Anyone bounce a check to you?" Taylor: "No. Thank G-d." Mandy says she was with at least 20 men before she turned 18. Duke: "Would you say you're a slut?" Mandy: "Most definitely. In my personal life, I'm only with one person. But workwise, I'm a slut." Duke: "For how long can you see yourself doing sex on camera?" Mandy: "Until my p----- don't work no more. As long as people want to keep paying me, I'll keep doing it." Mandy, 22, has never been outside the United States. Mandy: "There's this one crazy girl, Sarah Calls. She tried to run me over with her car in highschool because I slept with her boyfriend on Homecoming night. I wasn't allowed to go to Homecoming because I had gotten into trouble at school. Her boyfriend lived down the block from me. We went over there and were drinking. "The next year, I transferred into her school. She got pregnant. So a crazy pregnant woman tried to run me over in her car. But she never laid a hand on me. Good reflexes." Duke: "How did your parents react when you became a porn star?" Mandy: "My dad thinks it's cool. He thinks I might become some big mainstream person. I think he's a nutcase. That's how all porn works, right? I have no acting skills, yet I'm going to become some mainstream thing? Yeah. I just let him think that and he's happy about it. "My mom pretends it doesn't happen." Duke: "They must've been worried to death about you when you were a teenager. You sound like you were big trouble." Mandy: "Yes. My parents divorced when I was two. I don't remember my parents being together. "I was a pain in the ass. I'd go out windows and stuff. I lived mostly with my dad because I didn't get along with my mom. My dad remarried and divorced again. "Growing up, I was stubborn. He wanted to be the boss of the house. He couldn't realize that I was the boss of the house. We fought a lot. But ever since I moved out, we've had the best relationship in the world." Duke: "Does he watch your movies?" Mandy: "No. That would be creepy. I don't tell them what my porno name is. My fiance watches my movies. He likes them. He critiques them all the time. That I should've been talking more, or that wasn't a good position or that outfit didn't make me look good." Duke: "Do you get recognized?" Mandy: "Once or twice. I was sitting in the airport bar and this creepy guy grabbed my arm. He thought we should go have a quickie in the bathroom. I told him I had to go catch my flight. Hmm, I'm not sitting in airport bars anymore." Duke: "Do women get jealous or catty?" Mandy: "I have only a few friends who are girls (Genesis Skye, Ashley Aska, and a few non-porno friends). I don't generally get along with women. All my friends are guys. "I'm not the type to sit and talk about make-up and boys and all that crap. I find their little habits annoying." Duke: "Do you notice any similar traits among girls who do porn?" Mandy: "Most of them started having sex at a younger age. Almost everybody in porn smokes pot. You'd have to say that most porno women were molested. "I don't spend much time talking to the girls. I was at this Sybian shoot and I wanted to hit each one of the girls. There were seven of them. All they could talk about was becoming a home-maker and marrying a surgeon. "I squirted gallons on that [Sybian] thing. And I normally don't squirt in my movies. I recommend everyone buy one for their girlfriend or wife." Mandy and her fiance found Genesis Skye in a Yahoo chatroom. They asked her to model. They brought her into their bedroom. The rest is history. What Happened To Mike Albo? His site Adultstarsnews.com has not had an update in two weeks. I've heard he's had computer problems. 'My Neighbor Is A Darky' I'm reading Bill Bryson's book Notes from a Small Island about Britain:
Mike Ramone: Dead man walking?
Mike Ramone, AVN's Editor, writes:
Out of all the journalists who've written about me, Peter Gilstrap was the best. He had the keenest insights and was the most meticulous with his facts. He got every one correct. Almost nobody else has done that. I spent four sessions of therapy (about $400) on his article. No other article prompted so much introspection on my part. Peter has my respect. Ex-Hustler writer Evan Wright is scaling greater heights. He's working on a book on Christian fundamentalism. His first book is about to come out in paperback. It's up for some awards. Not sure any of it is making him any happier. But he has every reason to be happy (I recall he had a beautiful and charming girlfriend). Rob Spallone Chat I call him at 1pm. Rob: "What are you doing? I get rumors going around that you're mentioning a lot of names on that thing?" Luke: "People exaggerate." Rob: "They exaggerate? They exaggerate about your health. I get a few little mentions that 'Your friend Luke is writing a lot of s--- on that thing.' I said I haven't read it. Mentioning a lot of names? You're going to have a lot of trouble. "Why is Lenny's name on there? He doesn't like his name on there." Luke: "Oh. I thought he'd like it." Rob: "You should do a re-article. All you people who think I make this stuff up. This is where I heard it from." Luke: "That's a good idea except that I'd be dead if I did that." Rob: "But you're going to be dead soon anyway." Luke: "How's Damian Michaels?" Rob: "He's mental. He calls me every other day. He's a dreamer." Rob turns 42-years-old Tuesday. Damian Michaels Interview He calls me from the Exposed strip club (right next door to the Wet Spot on Canoga Ave) at 12:42pm. I've known Damian for eight years. Damian: "I just got back. I'm running [Brick Majors'] clubs again. We're doing a movie. How to be an Adult Film Star. It's me, Brick and Ron Jeremy's going to host it. We're going to market it over the internet. We're going to sell it one-on-one. "I talked to Ron [Jeremy] yesterday to get him involved in the project. He has a big name. It helps. "I'm doing the first annual Miss California Stripper award. I'm talking to HBO and Comcast to air it. "I've got computer guys working on the spamming and everything else." Duke: "So where you been?" Damian laughs. "I don't know if I should tell you. You're going to write it up." Duke: "I'm going to write it." Damian: "In prison. Violation of probation. Now I'm doing great. I've been working out three-hours-a-day in prison for a year. Studying about mental awareness and the mind and everything has to do with attitude. Just developing my mind and my body. I'm in the best shape I've ever been in." Duke: "Are you dating?" Damian: "I'm in love with somebody [not a sex worker] but I can't be with her because she drives me off the deep end. I start getting preoccupied. I've got too many things to accomplish. I'm looking for a new house. "I'm going to do adult stuff and mainstream." Duke: "Every time I talk to you, you're promoting something. You've always got a plan." Damian: "This time I'm totally focused. Drug-free. Strong in the mind. Ready to kick ass. "I'm looking for a girl. Get me a girl online to share in my wealth (laughter) and new life. Like Jim Lane (Powers) always says, 'You always bounce back. Either you're all the way up or all the way down.' "I wrote 50 songs while I was away. I had three interviews with music producers. Everyone loves the music. Kiefer Sutherland and the people from the TV show 24 came to hear me. I'm looking to get a record deal. That's my true love." Catching Up With Bill Amerson, Brick Majors I haven't spoken to any of these guys in years. Monday, I checked my messages. There was one from Damian Michaels, who's been around the porn industry for more than a decade, frequently working as talent or agent. He gives me his number at Exposed, a strip club owned by Brick Majors. I call up and get Bill Amerson (former friend and manager of John Holmes, went on to become a licensed therapist with a masters degree) on the phone. We had lunch in 1997 and have been friends ever since. Bill's largely retired. He bought a ranch in the desert in the Yucca Valley, but he works security for Exposed at 8229 Canoga Ave. I get to tell him that he's all over the new book by Legs McNeil -- The Other Hollywood. Jenna Jameson's Book Jenna writes on page 369 about Wicked Pictures exec Joy King: "I was probably the only girl who worked with her back then that she never slept with." Who is Jenna's ex-boyfriend from Miami "Jordan"? He has a relationship with one of the married Jill Kelly Productions contract girls and then goes into managing porn girls. Bonin is "Roadie Boy" in the book. Jenna writes:
