Craig Valentine Punch-Up At Erotica LA

Craig leaves this message at 2:45pm. "Holy s---, Luke, where are you? I'm at Erotica LA. Somebody ripped off one of my films and I just got done kicking the s--- out of him near the Erotica Museum. Don Benn saw the whole thing. Where you need to be you aren't. I finally get into a fight and you're not there to cover it."

I hear Craig was asked by security not to punch any more people.

Don was Summer Haze's sixth grade teacher.

I'm later told that this alleged punch-up never occurred. It was just Craig's way to get some play on my site.

Michael Fierce leaves Azure Entertainment

Michael Fierce, Felicia Flint on June 4 Brianna Beach, Michael Fierce on May 3, 2005 at PSK Brianna, Michael Brianna, Michael

He writes on GFY:

My sole reason for leaving Azure Entertainenment is the repeated verbal and mentally abusive behavior of recently aquired VP of sales John Berg. Jon has failed to meet even minimal performance standards, failed to land suitable office space; (and when an office was found it was with a companyy that was recently indicted for DVD counterfeiting - smooth, very smooth) attract any new clients or outperform my sales. Jon's inccessant complaining and belittling of popular industry events such as Porn-O Karaoke, The XRCO Awards and other industry events as "worthless, not worth your time, doesnt result in sales" is both inccorrect and insulting to industry vets, I have had the pleasure of attending several such events since arriving here in California and want to thank everyone at Porn-O karaoke, Bill Margold at XRCO, Terra Patrick and her man for the Avalon invite and everyone else that has met me and networked with me with the intent of doing business with my former employer. Jon wouldn't be able to recognize any of this since in the 2 months i have been here he hasnt attended even one single industry event, prefering instead to golf with his buddies, or go jaunting off to Disneyland.

CHLOE AND ROSE: F-CKED UP ADVENTURE

I'm trying to track down Rose aka Jennifer, the asian girl in this movie, to get an interview about Chloe.

Pink TV Party And First-Person Narrative Drive

Nick Manning, Skye Blue Nick, Skye Nick, Skye Jeff Mullen, Nick Manning David Scott (Jeff Mullen's business partner) and two girls David Scott, girl Tara Sands, Renaud West Tara Sands Tara Sands Tara and co Tara and co Jeff Mullen, Brad Thomas Michelle Kim (Miss Korea 1998) and rocker Alestair Digby (L-R)Justin, Ashley, Ben girls girls girls girls girls girls, Ben girls girls girls girls girls girls girls girls girls girls girls blonde girl Jessica Drake Jessica, Brad Armstrong Jessica, Brad (L-R) Brad Thomas, Jessica Drake, Brad Armstrong Marie Luv Marie Luv, Jeff Mullen Marie Luv, Jeff Mullen Cytherea Cytherea Cytherea Cytherea, Jeff Mullen Cytherea, Jeff Cythera, Jeff Cytherea's Brian Erika Kole Erika Trina Michaels Nikita Lea Nikita Lea Nikita Lea Jeff Mullen, David Grossman Jeff, David Celestia Starr Nikita Lea Nikita Lea Singer Katie Rose Katie Rose and her gay publicist Celestia Starr Johnny girl girls Joel Lawrence Christian Monique from Argentina will be a hostess on Pink TV

I arrive at 9:45pm. About 40 people are milling around outside. The number only swells during the hour I'm at the party.

Shari from All Media Play reprimands me for RSVPing to Brad Thomas, party promoter, instead of to her. She's in charge of the media. Despite my mistake, she gives me a media purple pass with an X on it. It's tight on my wrist, and when I rip it off at the end of the night, it takes many of my hairs with it, and leaves a dirty sticky patch like the stain on my soul from attending so many trivial events when I should be studying my Bible.

As beautiful women stream into the party, I keep asking Jeff Mullen of AllMediaPlay.com for IDs. He says they're civilian girls (usually bar tenders).

Cytherea's husband Brian spots me. "Good quotes," he yells.

I stand off to the side of the photographers. Duke Hunter from TheHardcoreSource is at the center instructing the models how to pose. Every time a beautiful model passes by, he stops her and gets her information. It looks like he's trying to pick her up.

Jeff Mullen asks me if I want a better position in the line of photographers. I say yes. He moves me into the middle. Still, it's hard for me to yell out, "Look this way."

I'm glad Jeff knows what he's doing at these things.

I leave at 10:50pm. No sign of hostess Lezley Zen though AVN's Acme Andersson reports she showed up later along with Ashley Blue and Gram Ponante.

Party Goer writes: "Acme you are... legend in your own mind. Stick to the facts Joe Friday and focus on the actual stars and the event please and save your I'm so cool narratives for your personal diary. We're just not interested. There should be way more about Lezley and her party and the other chicks here and a lot less of you and just how it all pertains to you. Ego much buddyboy?"

As one who writes a ton of first-person narrative, I applied Party Goer's remarks to myself and engaged in intense introspection.

What I think is most important is whether one's writing is compelling and important. Yes, when you write about an event, the emphasis should be on the most interesting people (and most important developments). Sometimes the writer can be the most interesting person at the party. Unfortunately, many writers deceive themselves in this regard.

For first-person writing to be compelling it must have a heavy element of shame. Unless you are revealing something shameful about yourself, something over which you are conflicted, it's not likely to be interesting. Conflict equals compelling. Acme's piece was devoid of shame and meaningful conflict, and was thus less interesting than most of his work.

By the way, I don't think my own report was any more interesting. I look at my blogging, interviews and and party-going as a matter of at bats. If I get enough chances, I feel confident that at least one out of four of my reports will be interesting.

Devinn Lane Warns Talent

The Wicked contract girl posts on ADT:

Just FYI to all talent, male and female alike. Without going into details I just want to tell you that I had a very bad experience in my recent trip to Trinidad. If you get an invitation to go, I'd seriously reconsider it. Please take this very seriously. If you decide to go, definitely don't go alone, and make sure you have an attorney look over ANY contract that is given to you. I wouldn't have wished my experience on my worst enemy and that's why I want to extend this warning to you.

Devinn says she's not attending Erotica LA out of fear of stalkers. What does this say about the security the show and Wicked in particular are providing its girls? Either Wicked is not protecting its girls or Devinn is nuts or there is some fall-out between Devinn and Wicked or things are only what Devinn posts.

Tod Hunter writes:

Or maybe Devinn is afraid to be in a place that is open to the public on the large-scale level that Erotica L.A. is. I seem to remember her saying that she was okay with the security at the strip club where she will be instead of the show.

The problem -- and not just Devinn Lane's problem, either -- is that ANYBODY can do ANYTHING if the anybody doesn't care what happens to him (or her). We have had numerous examples of this over the years. Maybe she's overreacting, maybe she's just being careful. I don't know. But if that's what it take for her to feel safe, I'm all for it.

Where Have All The Pictures Gone?

Steph writes on ADT:

In the Department of Justice's latest effort to protect the children, they have declared every person who posts an image on the internet a "producer." That means every one of you who participates in a message forum or writes a blog or has a personal website. We are all producers. And if we choose to post an image that could be construed as containing a sex act (including masturbation or possibly even an erect penis) we must be able to prove that the people in the picture were adults at the time it was taken.

Producers, the one who actually produced the sexually explicit image, have been required to maintain model records proving age since 1988. This month the Dept. of Justice decided that anyone who posts that image on the internet should also maintain these records. While it is unclear how this protects the children, it is very clear how difficult this law makes it to run an adult internet business. The Dept. of Justice has found an easy way to prosecute anyone distributing pornography via the internet and to curtail the adult internet business in the U.S.

The changes to the 2257 record keeping laws are vague enough to require legal advice and cumbersome enough to put small companies out of business. Not only must every producer maintain these model records in a specific filing fashion, but they must publish their business address and have these records available anytime for inspection during business hours. This precludes home businesses from continuing to function unless they want their home address posted on the web. This precludes part-time businesses from operating unless they report the exact hours they will be working to the government, and those hours total 20 per week.

At Adult DVD Talk we have therefore made the decision to remove every sexually explicit image from our site. We do not have the resources to maintain the records for 50,000 movies nor do we wish to open our home to the Dept of Justice for inspections. We have joined the Free Speech Coalition who is preparing a legal challenge. If you would like to donate to the cause you can do so through their website at freespeechcoalition.com.

Genesis on the performers lack of privacy

Anti-porn crusaders must be rejoicing at the dramatic reduction of freely available pornographic pictures on the internet caused by the new wrinkles in 2257 regulations. If this keeps it up, it might mean that people who want to see porn may need to use a credit card to show that they are an adult, and then pay for the privilege.

Inside Jill Kelly Productions

A former employee writes:

Bob Friedland does not care about the company. He is only using it as his personal bank account. I hear that Jill has quit. She does not want anything to do` with the company anymore- although I hear she is officially on a leave of absence. She learned of the illegal activites going on, and resigned. They just got a new group of stooges to put up money to keep them in business for a while longer, though that gravy train will de-rail soon enough.

I hear that they put up their JKP library as collateral. No library for a porn company? Then what do you own? Everyone still employed is just hanging onto their jobs for the paycheck. Jill Kelly Productions will never work without Jill herself. Regardless of what her role actually was, they cannot do legitimate business without her.

Friedland, who once professed he would never do anything to hurt Jill Kelly, could care less that she is no longer there. He is actually glad that she is gone. But, Friedland better watch his back. The new boss calling the shots over there is hiding many things from Friedland. Friedland is going to get burned, and most likely receive jail time, as well as his hench men that he now has in place at JKP. Mr Burns should know not to trust anyone. Especially someone he picks to run the company. Does he realize he is going to get screwed over yet? He must not be that stupid. The remaining contract girls should leave also. You are judged by the company you keep.

The Manufacturer Admin Costs of the "New" 2257 Is a Killer

Dave Cummings (the first non-AVN employee I've seen on here) posts on the AVN blog:

In just the last few days I've already spent $1,010.32 in copying costs at Kinko's, and Fedex packaging/shipping costs, to get copies of Model Release Forms and Proof of Age documentations to Internet VOD and other entities requiring them in order to continue our contractual relationships for my 41 Dave Cummings Productions titles.

CCBill Rules No Nude Or Sexual Images In CCBill Sign-Up Pages

Another reaction to the 2257 regulations. Along with Epoch/Paycom, CCBill is about the only credit card processing game in town.

Andrej posts: "It's obvious that CCBill dont want to host explicit content, you may do whatever you want on your own join page."

Jayeff posts:

It is entirely reasonable that ccBill require material on their servers be such that they do not need to keep 2257 records. But is it reasonable that they go beyond that and require non-nude? Of course not: they are making their own life easier and telling their clients to suck it up.

It's not a big deal: in isolation such details never are. But once service businesses forget the meaning of the word "service" and put their own ease-of-operation ahead of clients' interests, details like these tend to accumulate. This isn't the first - the unwillingness to accomodate StatsRemote fully is another example - and likely won't be the last.

Credit Card Banging

I've been looking at year 2002 emails from John Bennett and his controller/girlfriend Bridget Shaw to iBill asking the credit card processor to raise the charge to $36.29 from, I guess, about $29.

A source says: That's why this [Internet] business got destroyed -- when everyone started banging cards. [Banging cards means charging credit cards beyond the agreed upon price when someone gave up their credit card number.]

If you don't have a database of credit cards, you can't make big money in this industry anymore. The charges don't stick as long as they used to. You have to lower your prices. You have to keep adding content. You have to be a huge conglomerate to make it in this industry now. It'd be like opening up an appliance store around the corner from Sears.

Stalkers Stop Wicked Girl Devinn Lane From Attending Erotica LA

She writes on ADT:

Just wanted to let you know that I will not be attending ELA this week but, I will be at the Spearmint Rhino downtown tonight, Friday, and Saturday. I have only two shows a night at 9pm and midnight. I had a very unfortunate experience in my travels recently and don't feel like I can be completely protected from certain individuals that plan on attending the convention. It's much easier to keep people out of a small club. If you have things that you were planning on bringing for me to sign, please come to the club and I will be happy to sign it there for you.

Regina Lynn's Forthcoming Book - Sexual Revolution 2.0

She writes:

I've been in and out of hospital since last Saturday -- apparently the press room computer at Book Expo is not the only one who got a strange and virulent ... something-or-other.

I'm back on the grid starting today but have to take it easy (no choice - the drugs really pack a wallop) and will try to catch up on my email over the next several days.

Just to prove how serious it's been ... I could not write a column this week, so tomorrow's Wired News will be Sex Drive free... but they're also not posting a "regina will return next week" or anything. How mysterious and romantic! LOL

The good news is, Book Expo went very well, and everyone who stopped by my publisher's booth to talk to me got excited about the book. Some even had me sign the sample chapter booklet we were giving away!

It's looking like it'll be in stores at the end of July, at which point I can start setting up "events" to promote the book around the country (which are really just an excuse to get out there on a tax-deductible trip and meet YOU in person).

Who Will Cry For Chloe Jones?

Anonymous posts:

TRAGIC REALLY. ANOTHER YOUNG LIFE SNUFFED OUT, THIS INDUSTRY ACCEPTS ALL COMERS, THEN THROWS THEM TO THE CURB WHEN THEY ARE NO LONGER NEEDED. I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS GIRL BEFORE. SHE ACUALLY LOOKS LIKE ANY NUMBER OF ADULT STARS ON THE MARKET TODAY. THE SAME DYED HAIR WITH THE FAKE SET. WHO WILL CRY FOR HER? YOU? PROBABLY NOT. SHE WAS JUST ANOTHER " SKANK " WHO DROPPED TO HER KNEES WHEN THE DIRECTOR CALLED ACTION. SHE OBVIOUSLY HAD A LIFE OF SUFFERING. AND THE ADULT BIZ WAS JUST ANOTHER FACTION OF THAT. TO A LOT OF PEOPLE SHE WAS JUST ANOTHER PORN STAR, BUT TO 3 KIDS SHE WAS THEIR MOMMY. REST IN PEACE CHLOE.

Tabetha Stevens Talks About Committing Suicide

Gene Ross narrates her call in to Howard Stern this morning:

According to Stevens, she told [Artie] Lange she'd be lucky if she, herself, made it to 42. Stevens was proceeding like a train engine and Stern had to haul her in but concluded that Stevens was worrying that she would become ugly and old. Stevens said the possibilities are she might OD and not make it. Stern asked if she was a drug addict, and Stevens said no. He asked why then would she make a comment like that. "Because I'm not going to go out in another way," says Stevens. "I'd rather fall asleep." Stevens admits she's had thoughts of suicide. "It's not that I want to be dead," she stated. "it's just that I have a funny feeling I'm not going to make it. I'm trying."

Jill Kelly Productions Stock Down To Five Cents A Share

What's going on over there? A source says: "You are watching the slow and painful death of company that was built on a foundation of financial losses, lies, deceit, and a lack of capitol."

Whats up with all these new vivid girls?

Romeo writes:

What is going on at Vivid? They've signed like 8 girls in the last year starting with Malezia. Are they getting rid of most of the mainstay contract girls? Are they going to try and expand to get even bigger? I also hear they are fighting with Hustler, so are all these new chicks part of some plan?

A Post From Chloe Jones's Oldest Sister?

From April 5 on Uselessjunk.com:

As Melinda's sister, I can attest to some of this I've read. First, let's set the record straight. She never married Kurt from Orange, TX. Second, I'm sure everyone including myself could sell her out on the history she's got. Thirdly, our biological father died in 1982. Lastly, she has problems. I'm sure everyone is aware of that. But don't we all to some extent? Since hers is public, it sure makes our problems seem so minute. Oh, and I've got one hell of a story I could tell and sell. The story would be the truth behind it all. Lisa, I've met you before as well. Hope you're doing well these days. And hello first ex-husband. I hope you're doing well also. For the record, she was on her way to stardom in L.A. with Penthouse and Playboy. What started the downward spiral is she turned to hardcore porn and addictions. So she was making it in L.A. It is fun reading all the s--- on the internet about my sister. It's very entertaining I might add.

Remembering When Vivid Video Signed Chloe Jones

Their press release:

Chloe Jones, a stunning blonde international cover girl who grew up on a ranch riding horses in barrel racing and pole bending competitions, has been signed as a "Vivid Girl" by Vivid Entertainment, the world's leading adult entertainment company. Ms. Jones, who has been featured in dozens of magazines including a cover for Vanity Fair shot by the famed photographer Herb Ritts and centerfold layouts in Playboy and Penthouse, will begin making features for Vivid immediately.

"Chloe is one of the great beauties on the adult scene today, so she will fit in well with our elite group of Vivid Girls," said Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid. "She has made a limited number of adult films up to now, always with one partner; but with Vivid she'll be working with the top male porn stars and has decided to go all out to become one of the leading performers in the industry."

True Love - The Chloe Jones Masturbator, $26.95

While Chloe is no longer with us, her artificial vagina sells on. Here's a review:

At first I was dubious. The "Genuine UR3 Realistic Skin" is a lurid purple color and smelled strongly of new plastic. Not very sexy. The packaging says that the sex toy is a perfect likeness of porn star Chloe Jones, whose silicone hypersexuality is to me the epitome of repulsive exaggeration.

I gently heated Chloe up in a bowl of warm water and applied personal lubricant inside. I turned the lights down low, and hmmmmm ... Chloe didn't look half bad! She looked just like someone I have fond memories of. Much to my surprise, I discovered that Chloe, despite her namesake's profession, was a virgin and that I was truly her first. Her manufactured maidenhead eventually yielded to my amorous advances, whereupon I discovered that Chloe's internal anatomical detail is also excellent; she is realistically and pleasantly textured inside.

Regretfully, I doubted her at first, but now I am soooo in love ... I cannot find the words. She will always be tucked away in a very special corner of my sock drawer.

More Info On Chloe Jones

Guest Book for Melinda Dee (Jones) Taylor

Lisa Skeirys, who writes that she was Chloe's best friend for years, posts April 4 to uselessjunk.com:

Here is some history on Melinda Jones. Chloe is a made up name. She is from Silsbee, TX. Her real name is Melinda. [Second husband] is the father of her daughter Chloe. Her third was Mike Taylor (aka) Mike Scorpio. The father of her twin boys named Tristan and Austin. Now she is married or soon to be to a loser named Chris Miguez. He is an unemployed, former (probably current) methamphetamine user. He was evicted from a rent house by a man named Johnny Lisotta when he met her. (She supports him.) Kurt and Mike are really sweet, kind guys who were smart enough to get away from this girl. She is a pathological liar. I know because I was her best friend for years before she went off the deep end. Now she is a waste case. Overdoses on Vicodin and has seizures. They are terrible. I witnessed them myself. She got banned from working at the Yellow Rose in Austin, TX in 11/03 because of this problem. I was there when it happened.

I am sure her current story about Charlie is not true. She did sleep with him along time ago(about 10years ago). So, there is truth to her story. But as of currently, I doubt it. One look at her and he would have run or paid her $15,000 to leave.. She has done so much damage to herself that her abdomen is swollen and she appears about 5 months pregnant. Don't believe me, check out her porn. Her stomach is always covered. Since about 2003, anyway.

I feel sorry for her kids. They are so sweet. Now they will get teased at school for their mom being a hooker. She doesn't care though. She is one messed up girl. Such a shame, because she was really beautiful at one point in time. By the way those keeping up with her bio. She did not leave for L.A. with $400 in her pocket at 18 years old. She was working as a stripper at a club called TeamMates in Beaumont,TX. She did later go to lL.A. for a short while but couldn't make it. She even got fired at on time from Vivid (porn) pictures due to her addictions and seizures.

I do indeed believe she slept with Charlie in 1996 because she did work as a hooker for an escort service in LA. As for the rest of the story. I would not believe any of it. She is just hurting for money and is taking her shot. I saw her last in 11/03 and she looked TERRIBLE. She had just gotten out of the hospital for a drug overdose. Her abdomen is permanently swollen form the liver damage. She appears about 5 months pregnant. I say this with God as my witness. At the time, she was eating abot 15-20 Vicodin a day, and topping them off with Soma, and Xanax. She suffers terrible seizures. She takes too many pills, and goes into these fits and they are horrifying. She got banned form working at the yellow Rose in Austin because she OD'd and had a seizure. They told her to never come back. I was there with her and after that, I got the hell away from her. Besides that she and her boyfriend Chris Miguez stole money from me. At the time, they were both being evicted from their homes. Had Charie seen her and the shape she is in, he probably would have given her $15,000 to go away. It's a shame, because she used to be such a beautiful girl. Always a pathological liar, but very pretty. The stories she told about you were hilarious. She said you set her truck on fire and that you put Nair in her shampoo. Then when her stepfather commmitted suicide, she tried to say that her husband at the time, Kurt, murdered him. Do you know him? He is Chloe's dad (melinda's daughter). Don't you just love her "story" abou how she took off for L.A. at 18 with $400 in her pocket. I mean she worked as a stripper at Team Mates in Beaumont,TX until she was at least 22. One of her many concocted stories. Just like the stiory that she had cancer, and that she was infertile. The list goes on. She and I were friends for about 8 years. We met at Team Mates.

Lisa Skeirys responds to a poster claiming to be Chloe's sister:

I do know her. I was there when she OD'd in November 2003 at the Yellow Rose in Austin and went into seizures. I had to drive her to the hotel and take care of her all night. We came back to Houston the next day because she is barred from the Yellow Rose. By the way, she is the one who tells everyone the story about her cousin. Apparently, it is another one of her ploys to get attention. I mean as her supposed "best friend "she swore to me her first marriage was to her first cousin and she had to get the marriage annuled. I have met you before (years ago) if you are her sister that lives in Austin. (It was when Chloe was driving her white mustang and we got a flat, you came and helped fix it).You are very sweet and kind.

I am just making a point that she is a pathological liar who will do anything for money...even admit that she is a hooker. As an aunt to her children, I know this has to upset you. Of course...I never know what to believe as far as Chloe is concerned. She told me the two of you did not even talk any more because the last time she stayed at your house in Austin that your husband tried to sleep with her. She said you threw her out and never spoke to her again because you thought she had made the story up. She needs help. I have seen it with my own two eyes. She looks awful with that swollen abdomen and all those scars, and bruises. I honestly belive the porn industry has done her in. And hanging with Chris Miguez is not helping her either. Deep down she is...or used to be a good girl. That is why we were friends for so long. I tried to help her but she is too far gone...sometimes she can't even complete her sentences. It is as if her brain just shuts off.

I always wondered why she was so screwed up. But her sisters seem fine. Funny it is such a small world. The owner of the bar and scuba instructor you mention, Jim, lets say his last name is Black (to protect him). Funny story... Dee got caught with cocaine in her locker at Team Mates one night . She got out of it, since it was just residue in a bag. She later told me she had gotten hooked on cocaine when Jim invited her upstairs at the club and had her name spelled out in the white powder for her to snort. I mean...come on. Jim was no angel but he did not touch drugs and would not tolerate them in his club. And as far as Chris being the next "Bill Gates", how funny. As I mentioned above, he is a known "ice" addict from Beaumont, TX. Dee took him in when he got evicted from a home owned by Johnny Lisotta. Between 3 guys, they could not come up with rent. She totally supports him, he is a loser deluxe! He cannot even get a job. And a thief to boot, but that is another story. It is weird though, as much as she lied. I always felt a need to protect her. No anymore, she did some awful things to me. I guess you felt the same way for a long time. She is like a lost little girl. She is ruined now. Literally, she looks awful!

It is funny that you mention Sugar's in Austin. I was working with her there in 1996 or 97 when she was pregnant with her daughter Chloe. I actually wonder if you and I have ever met? It made me sick. She smoked cigars and drank all through that pregnancy. It was about that time, she was trying to pass off her pregnancy on a guy named Mike Taylor. She was obsessed with him. Later married him. But the baby's father was a guy named Kurt from Orange. A real sweet guy. He just had to get away from Dee. He (Kurt) told me she was a pathological liar and he thought she had sex issues. I saw him a few years back and we had a good laugh about how you could literally not believe a word out of her mouth. Anyway...long story short about Sugar's. Chloe fakes a fainting spell and has Mike believing the kid is his. Until she was born, and Mike demanded a DNA test. He still raised her as his own. He is a really sweet guy too. He left because he said she's nuts and he could not deal with her OD'ing problems and the seizures. However, he did not get away before she got prgnant with the twin boys though. She told me, the twins were Charlie Sheen's. She has been obsessed with Charlie for a very long time as you can see. She has f---ed up alot of lives. But karma got her...you should see her now. Oh and so funny. The last time I spoke to her. She was planning on faking her own death on video. Then coming back and winning some porn star award. She said if Pamela Anderson could make millions off of a video, she could too. She is literally crazy. I guess you know that better than anyone. Can't help myself...While we were in Austin in 2003, the night she overdoses on vicodin, when she comes around... SHE WANTS MORE. She suckered Chris Miguez into driving from Beaumont to Austin saying she had a girl who would pay $10 a pill. And to bring as many pills as he could. She got off the phone and laughed her ass off. She said Chris is just a puppy that will do anything she says. Sure enough he borrowed a friend's car, and he showed up. He found out later that night, there was no girl to buy the pills. He figured this out, when she OD'd and went into seizures. She came out of it and called him every name in the book. He cried like a baby to me. Asking me what he had he done to be treated so badly by her. He said he loved her so much. Even though she had just recently slept with one of his best friends named Charlie Dixon. And he knew about it. Allegedly she and Chris were at a party together at Charlie Dixon's house and she snuck off and f---ed Charlie, then wet home with Chris. Or at least that is what Chris Miguez told me. I think he is as delusional as Dee. Great Team. I just feel sorry for her kidsl Her ex (Mike Taylor) may not have much trouble getting custody now that she opened this can of worms. And she has no one to blame but herself.

A man claiming to be Chloe Jones's first husband David Jason Sturrock posts in April 2005:

Her Grandfather (blood relative) was married to (second marriage) to my grandfather's sister. So we were in no way related. It was always a big joke between Dee's (Melinda) mother and us. I learned my lesson early and believe me I left that relationship with my tail between my legs. Her mother always told me that "No one would ever be able to tame her. You know what.....she was right. I don't know what to think about the Sheen thing. She has always been a liar but his history is a little tainted too. I've known her since she was 13 you just can't tell when she is being honest. Either way, if they got it on, it should have stayed behind closed doors. Maybe I should sell her out and make a buck. She called me in like 1996 and said if the [National] Enquirer calls you, "don't you say anything." Look who's talking now.

I'll give you a little history on Melinda Dee Jones. She grew up in a pretty normal family until her father died in a car accident. That was way before her and I met. I don't recall her age but the story goes like this. Her father was driving home from work and while ejecting a cassette tape. it fell onto the floor, he apparently he reached down to pick it up(there was a passenger with him) and ran off a bridge. He drowned, the other guy survived. Her mother filed a lawsuit against the company he worked for because he was traveling on business. That part fits into the story later.

Jump forward a few years. Dee has two older sisters. Her oldest sister gets pregnant and has a girl. In order to hide the fact that her teen girl now has a baby the Ms. Jones (mom) says it's hers and spares the child a life of misery.

Good plan but it didn't work everyone in town knows and now the Jones sisters are labeled as sluts. This is where I come in. I met her older sister and invited them to a party at my house. I didn't think they were sluts but I wanted to find out. They weren't sluts but crazy like thier mom.

This where I met Dee. She was 13 almost 14 and loved to do acid. Her favorite band was the Cure and she had already attempted suicide several times. She had just recently been released from the Beaumont neurological center for juveniles where she said the interns had shot her up with thorzine and had sex both oral (to her) and vaginal with her. She was fairly open about being bi-sexual (something that I never got to partake in) and hated oral sex from men.

I know your asking what in the hell are you doing with this girl. Remember I'm like 18 and just a kid myself. My parents were very religious and here I have the devil's handmaid at my disposal. I remember the first night we had sex, I had just met her two mweeks before and she said she was 15 about to turn 16 which of course was the first lie she ever told me. We went to my room and just before I "entered" her she said. "Do you know what your doing?" I now have to say NO, I had no idea what I was doing.

And now we get to meet the source of the problem -- Dee's family. Her mother had two boyfriends, One was an alcoholic vagrant named Sam. Sam was strange to say the least. He would watch the girls and ejaculate spontaneously (I'm not making this up). Sam was a kind of a visual pedophile he never hurt anyone or touched anyone to my knowledge. The girls were well aware of his problem and joked regularly about it. How sad for teenagers to be subjected to that and also that their poor minds are so warped that they can joke about it.

Dear old mom needed more than one source of income so there was Wayne, another very strange person. Imagine if you will, a kid that got picked on his whole life because of his glasses and weight and dorky habits. The kid grows up mentally warped and full of hate. Throw in a divorce (he was very racist and his wife left him for a black man). Roll it all together and BAM you have Wayne.

By the way he had a boy and a girl both of who got their minds f---ed in all of this.

Both men [Wayne and Sam] were waiting on the huge sum of money to come in from the lawsuit and would do anything for Dee's mom to stay in the picture. Wayne loved Dee's mom, sometimes very strange love (I caught them in bed one day and she was spanking him with a high heel shoe). He had a love for porn and didn't care if the girls saw it. I knew he was sick when he asked me to check out a movie. The movie was she-males. Again the girls, all of them, thought that this was very amusing.

[Wayne] lived in Lumberton (racist) in a trailer. Now Dee's mom also lived in a trailer in Silsbee and everyone wanted to be one happy family (Sam, Wayne and kids, Mom and kids).

This is where I leave for a while (Desert Storm for around 9 months). So mom says "Wayne, Silsbee is the place you want to be." So they loaded up the trailer and they move down the street (sing to the tune of Beverly hillbillies). Actually they move right next door.

Here's the kicker. Sam lives inside with Mom. Wayne lives 25 feet away in his trailer. Did I say that Wayne and Mom were to be married?

I come home from Kuwait to find that Wayne has finally has had enough. I wasn't sleeping very well when I first got home and would frequently get up at night. One night while doing my rounds, I see Wayne (by himself) standing in front of his trailer as it's burning to the ground. Guess who gets to move in the trailer with Mom? That's right it's Wayne. Sam has to build a little shack out in the back yard. Wayne says he didn't do it but if you know Wayne HE DID!

Anyhow this whole time Mom is making promises to each guy to get rid of the other, of course she had been doing that from the start. Ok you get the picture.

So you kind of see what got her started on her path. Now the Psycho is living in the house and the "visual" pedophile has to peek in the window to get his jollies.

Anyhow now the next chapter. We get married and I move her to Fort Hood (She's 16 at the time. I am very sorry for this, I now have 3 kids). Sometime passes and she starts working for a furniture store as a sales person. I come home one day and she tells me that her boss raped her.

Move forward a couple of months. I come home from work (ARMY) and the entire apartment is empty. I mean everything. The only items left in the house are my clothes, alarm clock and cable box. The police contact me and ask if I have seen her. Apparently the (boss) takes a polygraph and passes. The detective calls me downtown for a chat. He says she bailed because she knew that they were on to her, she was trying to get money on a rape claim. He said if she hadn't have left they would have arrested her.

I finally catch up to her (via phone) back in Silsbee. She told me she was working at Team Mates as a waitress. Come to find out I know the owner (he dated my cousin for a while and he was also my scuba instructor). He tells me she is dancing for him, he also says he didn't realize who she was until now and that the best thing I could do for myself was to get as far away from her as possible. I took his advice and filed for a divorce that was official Dec 10 1993.

Oh and I never put Nair in her shampoo or burned her truck. I did burn all of her clothes (at least the stuff from me) and other things I had gotten her in a 55 gallon barrel (I was pissed). Her Mother thought that was the funniest thing she had ever seen. I thought the spanking with a high heel was funnier.

I didn't think she was in LA in 96. I was at her sister's house in Austin around that time and she was in town dancing at Sugars. Anyway she OD'd and we had to call an ambulance. She must OD like once a month. As a kid she OD'd (suicide) several times on aspirin, which sounds weird but it's possible. I think that is what started her internal problems. By 17 she was diagnosed with endometriosis and had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. This was at Fort Hood where I was stationed 90-94. They said she probably couldn't have children and as much as she was getting screwed if it was possible it would have happened. Funny thing is, I wasn't the one getting it.

After I graduated from college (Waco, TX) in like July of 96 I moved to Santa Barbara. However I didn't speak with her again until 97 or 98. She was in Malibu doing a penthouse shoot but lived in Houston. She was there with a boyfriend. In 2002 or 03 she contacted me through in what seemed to be a plea for help. When I told her that I was married with kids and that she should never contact me again she got real defensive and told me that she wasn't trying to get back with me and that she was married to a software wizard, the next Bill Gates (Chris Miguez).

Well that's my story. Wayne killed himeself. Sam is probably dead. Sisters and the little girl (now grown)? Mom was said to have got her money and spent it all.

Ruby Update

We talk by phone Wednesday afternoon, June 8.

Ruby: "I'm married and living in Ohio now. I'm dancing. It's the best bar I've worked at. It will be my last one. I dance with a girl I've known since I was eight."

Duke: "What brings you back to LA?"

Ruby: "I'm getting some stuff. I'll probably be at the AVN this year because I have nothing else to do.

"So Lukeisback. I knew you couldn't leave for long. You're as trapped as the rest of us."

Duke: "Are you near your parents?"

Ruby: "I'm living with my dad while [Ruby's husband] Will's gone. I get to hear from him once every four days, unless he's on a mission [in Afghanistan]. I got an official email today that nobody from my husband's unit was injured or killed in the mortar attack they had this afternoon. He's a medic."

They married last August 20 in Reno. "Talk about full circle." Ruby used to work as a prostitute at the Bunny Ranch in Reno.

Duke: "How did you meet him?"

Ruby: "I was on a dance gig [in the summer of 2003]. I was surprisingly celibate for about a month. I had just decided to stop doing hardcore. I was featuring at Seacrest in Fayetville, Indiana, by Fort Bragg. He was at my show. So it does happen.

"He asked me to marry him the first night we met. We almost made it a year without getting married.

"He's ten years younger than me. [That makes him about 23.] A good Catholic boy.

"He knows all of it. I didn't lie about anything. You know me. If you're going to be with me, you know what you're going to have to put up with. I warned him, but he stepped up to the plate. He's more of a man than I've met in my life.

"He's been in Afghanistan for almost two months. He was in Iraq for four months. His battalion is the one that got Fallujah under control. Then the Marines took it from them."

Duke: "How do you feel about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan?"

Ruby: "I hadn't really formed an opinion until I asked him. I figured, ask somebody who's been there. He said we need to be there. He said chaos would ensue if we weren't there. I believe him.

"He's doing four years of active duty. I couldn't jump out of a plane, much less get shot at.

"We're monogamous completely. I don't do girls or anything. I might do some solo videos. Anything where you don't have to worry about testing. I wrote a tiny pocketbook about masturbation. I wrote down what I do on a daily basis to make myself as orgasmic as I am. It hasn't been published yet."

Porn Stars Are Normal, Well-Adjusted Happy People

Taryn Thomas writes on ADT:

I am sober do not do drugs or drink now. It was only a few months into the industry when I started using drugs. Now I am sober ( 5 months ) I do not do drugs nor do I drink. ( You can ask Shylock he drug tests me. ) I have my pharmacy tech license and attended real estate school. I got into the industry simply because I LOVE SEX. Not because of money issues or bad childhood experiences, or a drug problem. I LOVE SEX! I LOVE ORAL, VAG, ANAL I LOVE IT ALL. I have passion for my work and I LOVE IT! It sucks when you see a girl or a guy get into the industry for the wrong reasons. Unfortunatly some girls and guys do. But you can tell who it is it comes across in their work.

Jill Kelly Productions

David Aaron Clark writes on ADT:

Bob [Friedland], who calls ALL the shots at JKP, & who seems to be not too fondly nicknamed "Mr. Burns" by some of the various contract girls he's glommed onto, DOESN'T CARE if the porn's any good. He's a very old man whose career has been as a stock-market shark, not a porn producer. He's not in this business to "make good porn." He's in this business for the girls, & because when it comes to his style of doing business, in this industry it's like taking candy from the proverbial baby. & before anyone says, "But you can make a lot of cash with a SUCCESSFUL company," I refer you to Mel Brooks' THE PRODUCERS. 'nuff said.

Any porners going to this?

AnthonyK writes on Nina.com:

According to my pal Kelley, who owns and manages the Porn Star Shrine Yahoo group and who broke the story of Chloe's passing; she (Chloe) had been diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer around 5 years ago, but that apparantly wasn't the source of her latest difficulties. A friend of Chloe reported that she seemed fine to her a few weeks ago, so all bets are off as to the cause of her death until an autopsy is performed on her.

Nina Hartley posts:

Ms. Jones was ill and that her death was certainly accidental. Likely a bad drug interaction, is my best guess. We'll have to wait for the autopsy.

Very sad. A widower with three young children. What woman is going to want the husband or kids of a porn star? Good luck to them at this sad time.

Serena Sin Interview

Porn Star Karaoke June 7.

Serena: "I've always wanted to do adult work since 18. My now ex-husband and I were into a crazy lifestyle. I don't want to call it swinging because we didn't go to swingers stuff. We had a mutual girlfriend. I was a dancer for four years [from age 17-21 when she met her husband]. I always wanted to do porn with him. He was totally against it. When the divorce was final..."

In porn for three months, she's done three movies.

She has a bunch of tattoos.

Duke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"

Serena: "A unicorn. I was raised as a Buddhist [in Baltimore]. I was told I could have whatever I wanted when I got older, so I would meditate on becoming a unicorn.

"I was a good kid. I was a good student. I went to college for three years. Sociology. I worked in a psycho-hospital with little kids. It was too much. Too insane."

Serena enjoyed working as a stripper. "I loved being on stage. I loved the whole dramatic aspect, the make-up. I've been working as a make-up artist for a couple of years."

Duke: "Where do you see yourself in ten years?"

Serena: "Living in Costa Rica next to my mom.

"I never want to have children. I can't stand them.

"I'm tired of listening to what other people have to say."

Duke: "Do you believe you have an eternal soul?"

Serena: "I was raised as a Buddhist. I believe in reincarnation."

Duke: "How do you think you will be reincarnated?"

Serena: "I don't know if I will be reincarnated.

"I'm really happy with my life now. It's taken me a long time to get to this point where I feel completely confident in what I believe and who I am. I feel like I've learned a lot, and been through a lot in my short life [she's 27]."

Duke: "What in particular are you so happy about?"

Serena: "That I'm able to lead a lifestyle that doesn't bind me to a daily schedule. In Miami, I just ride my bike around. I don't have a car. I have a cat. I own my own condo. I do whatever I want. I'm doing anal so I can buy a puppy. Put him in my basket and ride around on my bike."

Duke: "Do you dance in Miami?"

Serena: "No. That was great when I was really young. Now I'm over it. I would be a feature dancer. I'd love that.

"In Miami, you have all these girls who are just over the border and they're willing to grind their ass against some gross dude's cock for $10. In Key West, it's even worse. You've got to do it naked. Why don't you girls do porn? It's a lot more money and it's way less work."

I talk to Charlotte Webb, 23. She's worked as a stripper for six months. "I'm a big pervert too."

Charlotte grew up in a bad neighborhood in South LA and was home-schooled. "There was no money for college. I worked in food service. I used to deliver pizza."

Luke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"

Charlotte: "I wanted to be an actress but my mom never helped me pursue that."

Overheard At The XRCO

Porner A: "Brian [Cytherea's husband] will talk to me first, right?"

World Modeling Wednesday

Eddie Charisma, the Aussie Impaler Promise Promise thinks about Eddie Charisma Eddie Charisma, Holly Wellin Eddie seizes Promise Eddie, Promise Eddie, Promise Eddie, Promise Eddie, Promise

A friend told me late this morning that World Modeling was holding a mini casting call this afternoon.

Slipshod journalist that I am, I didn't bother to call World to confirm. I just drive 40-minutes and find just two members of the talent pool in the World office -- Eddie Charisma and Promise.

Jim Sr. tells me to bring him some girls.

He says there's no talent call. Everything had been cast yesterday for the shoot in question. So I spend most of the next hour talking to the Aussie Impaler aka Tony Sexton aka Eddie Charisma, 35.

He came to America in July 2002 and hasn't been home since.

"I was going to be Eddie Cruise. A lot of old people say I'm a charismatic young man. So I became Eddie Charisma."

Duke: "Has there been any more drama?"

I remember he got punched by Cytherea's husband Brian at Porn Star Karaoke about nine months ago.

Eddie: "No. If there is, there will be no more Mr. Nice Guy. I'll make sure I take care of business. My gun's loaded but I haven't pulled any triggers. I made a deal."

Jim Sr. "He can talk three hours about taking a s---."

Eddie: "I put three names down on the books. I won't mention names. I made a deal. I'm sick of being attacked. If I'm attacked again, I can take of business myself. It will be in the name of self-defense. And I'll get off scott-free. We'll see who wants to f--- with the Impaler now.

"The Aussie Impaler. You can't keep a hard man down.

"People who like me, like me. People who don't -- they can kiss my Australian ass."

Duke: "Which work do you prefer? This or carpentry?"

Eddie: "I like both. I have sawdust in my veins. Once a carpenter, always a carpenter. I like building houses. It's an honest living. You make people happy by building them a new house."

Duke: "Do you date [porn] girls?"

Eddie: "No. I don't bother asking girls for their numbers anymore."

Promise whispers to me that Eddie is gay.

Duke: "Have you ever done gay porn?"

Jim Sr: "Only a little suck."

Eddie: "Do I look like the kind of guy who would do gay porn? That'd be the other guys. Everyone knows who they are."

Eddie says he hasn't experienced anything with Promise yet, but he's "hoping. I'm hoping for my first miracle."

I ask Promise: "Are you hoping too?"

Promise: "No."

Eddie: "Liar!"

Duke: "You guys would make a cute couple."

Eddie: "She's my Aboriginal girl."

Promise says she doesn't know what an Aboriginee is. And this girl is about to graduate college with a degree in English.

Duke: "When you look at this man right now, what do you feel?"

Promise smiles: "Irate."

Eddie: "She's bulls----ing."

Promise smiles: "I think he's crazy. I don't know why he calls me. I wish he would leave me alone."

Duke: "Admit that you have a tingle when you see Eddie Charisma."

Promise smiles: "A migraine tingle."

Eddie: "Admit our first date."

Eddie says he rescued Promise and she stayed with him for two nights and he never made a move on her. That he was a complete gentleman.

Promise smiles, perhaps a tad embarrassed: "I don't know what he's talking about."

Eddie: "Oh yeah. I experienced my first miracle."

I ask Eddie why he always wears a cross earring.

Jim Sr: "He ran a gang of cut-throats in Australia. They would chase down and kill Aboriginees. We're holding him here for the federal government."

Eddie: "When I was seven, I lived on a farm in a small town. I walked across the road. I got hit by a car. My head was split in half. My arms and legs were broken. I was in a coma for several weeks. I had seventy stitches. Out of a thousand kids, I was the only one to survive that type of crash. When I was in a coma, I remember seeing a man in a white long beard and a white long robe, he said to me in the gentlest voice, 'Son, you are going to wake up and you're going to live again.' Until this day, I believe it was the Big Man Upstairs.

"I don't need no bodyguards anywhere I go. He's my bodyguard. I have no fear of these scum-sucking pigs who always lie and deceive and spread bulls--- about me. The only fear I have is pissing of the Big Man Upstairs."

Duke: "You don't think it pisses Him off that you do porno?"

Eddie: "I hope He understands that I've got to survive somehow.

"I walk tall and proud. I walked in trains in Melbourne in the days of the gangs in my Croatian Warriors [regalia]. It was a gang I was in.

"I did my time in the Balkans in 1991-92 to free Croatia [from the Serbs], my mother's land."

Alec Metro phones. Eddie puts him on hold. I pick up the phone and identify myself.

Alec: "You want to buy some social security numbers? Some last names?"

Duke: "No thanks."

Jim asks me: "Who's that?"

Duke: "Alec Metro."

Jim: "Tell him I passed away."

Jim picks up the line.

Eddie takes me into a private room and tears into three of his critics. He later asks me not to name them.

Eddie: "They were jealous of my presence here from the beginning. The fact that I could perform. The fact that I don't need no drugs to get hard. I'm hard at all times. That I can pop three times in the same afternoon if required."

Eddie says he's never had an STD and he never tried to work during last year's HIV-quarantine.

I ask Jim South who his major talent are these days. He says Autumn Bliss, Julia Bond and a new blonde Krissy.

Eddie: "Didn't ....steal something from the set?"

Jim: "That's not true. He's got a recorder there."

Eddie Charisma: "And .......... from ........ She's tearing it up."

Jim Sr to Eddie. "Do me a favor. He's recording this. There's a new law about people from Europe working. He's going to have that on his website..."

T.T. Boy calls Jim back.

Jim: "I've got a girl here, Promise. She's hot, horny and ready to be serviced. She says she'll give you a deal if you shoot her three times."

Promise: "It was a joke."

She tells me she'll do TT three times for free.

Jim Sr. says he spent two hours on the phone last night to 18-year old Jordan Taylor, who now goes by the name of Laycee James.

She went to LADirectModels.com for a week and then came back to her Uncle Jim.

Jim says Derek at Direct has better pictures of Jordan than he does.

Eddie answers the phone at World.

A make-up artist calls asking for referrals to directors and producers.

Jim tells Eddie to take her name and number, but that they don't do such referrals.

Eddie takes about ten minutes taking her name and number. He talks on and on.

Then he slams the phone down and says it has bad breath. The phone stinks. He goes into the back room and returns with 409 cleaner and a paper towel. Just as he's about to spray the phone, Jim tells him to stop. Spray the paper towel and then wipe the phone.

Tony goes to kiss Promise. She leans away. "Come on Tony. Don't."

He picks her up despite her protests and lifts her in the air for my photographs.

Afterwards, I ask her how did that make her feel. "Dirty," she says. "Used and abused."

Jim says Playboy is shooting Seven Lives Exposed and Promise has a good chance to be one of the six main characters along with Rayveness. That would be six-weeks of Monday-through-Friday 9-5 work.

Jim Sr. sings a "doo dah" song.

"You're just a typical Southern guy," says Jr's girlfriend Holly Wellin.

Sr. tells Promise: "Tell T.T. Boy that each of you owe me a fee for each time you do it off-camera."

Promise: "I wish he would marry me."

I imagine Promise thinks: "I wish he would marry me and take me away. I'd make him the happiest man in the world."

Promise: "Those are all lies."

Eddie Charisma: "She told me she wanted to move to Australia with me and make little koala bears."

Duke: "A woman has the right to change her mind."

When to give out model ID's to affiliates?

Lensman writes on GFY:

I think it's great that guys like Steve Lightspeed and Donovan Phillips don't want to give out the IDs of their models to affiliates. After all, their models are amateurs and most of the time do not do it for a living. They most likely have only shot for 1-2 shooters ever. They don't even f--- guys on camera (note to myself - ask Steve about off camera).

BUT we will provide model IDs to our full-time RealityCash affiliates. Why? Because our girls are not amateurs, they shoot for lots of people. You can buy content on most of them from someone else and get the info. It's pretty tough to sell hardcore porn these days without avertising hardcore porn. Also, we will not hand it out to any old surfer that joins our program, we will only give it to known long-term webmasters who do this s--- for a living.

Not giving IDs = good.
Giving out IDS = good.

It just depends on the circumstances.

Long live RealityCash webmasters.

Deep Inside Gram Ponante

I was once gifted a cheapie biography of white rapper Vanilla Ice, nee Rob Van Winkle. Inside the pulp bio were 16 pages of casual photos of the artist behind "Ice Ice Baby." One of the photos showed Vanilla chilling on a couch, staring into the distance. The caption read: Vanilla Ice: Maxin' and Relaxin'. I don't know what it meant, but that's what I'm doing here with Teagan, Lisa Sparxxx, Robin Rosenberg, Jen Rosenblatt, Mason, Anal Load Lee, Reuben Sturman's ghost, Tom Joad's ghost, and Skeeter Kerkove.

Nobody knows any of them are staying at my house, so only refer to them obliquely by hair color, body type, and vehicle.

I am crafting a quote about your book. You have just entered the Betty Ford clinic with Rick James and Meir Kahane...

Duke: "My book would make the perfect birthday present for your mother's 80th. The Megans Law website says Gram Ponante is a registered sex offender."

Gram: She would scold me for not getting to Kitten Natividad first. "See?" she would say, "the Adventists beat us again."

I didn't know I was registered; I just thought I was in their affiliate program.

Duke: "Did you ever spill a load to Chloe Jones? Would it be wrong to do so now, or a tribute?"

Gram: That's a very good question. Like you, however, I do not celebrate Onan's crime, even if some may consider it a tribute.

How about you? With your suppressed gerontophilia were you tempted to koo koo ka choo to the lately-departed Mrs. Robinson?

Does masturbating to images of young women who are now old qualify as gerontophilic?

I was [at PSK] after you last night. I am afraid that if we are seen together people will stop believing we're the same person.

That is why you make sure that you are taking snaps at a swingers' party while Chaim Amalek is at a pharmacy ribbon-cutting in Thousand Oaks.

Bloated With What?

Gram Ponante writes:

An original gangster colleague in the lonely brotherhood of pornbloggeurs recently referred to someone as "bloated". While he didn't say who this person was - it might have been the bloating that consumes us all - a former Buttman staffer claimed to be the object of T-Diddy's hypertextual scorn and defensively proceeded to tell the world how much she and her medical staff were comfortable with her body type. Good for you, former construction company staffer!

But just as I say it is important to love yourself - and you should, former awful Gene Simmons vanity magazine staffer - it is just as important to not absorb insults that might not be yours to wallow in.

Remembering Chloe Jones

John Bone tells Gene Ross:

"I have to get Chloe in a taxi and rush her to the emergency room. It costs me $700. They admit her into the hospital. Chloe was in Brazil for two weeks and she did all the medication she brought for the two weeks- in one night, partying. They pumped her stomach and had her on IV drips. They told me I could get her out the next morning. The next morning I show up and it takes like an hour to sign her out. They didn't really want to release her. And here's the beautiful part- here's a girl in the middle of Brazil. She doesn't speak a word of Portuguese.
