Another Woman Sues AVN

Judy Sweeney vs AVN Publications Inc, et al., LASC Case No. BC 334720

Who's Judy Sweeney? She was the assistant to Darren Roberts, AVN CEO.

Judy was five months pregnant when she was fired from AVN.

It turns out that she's suing AVN for the same thing that Jennifer Rosenblatt did.

Judy has retained Carol Gillam, who was Jennifer's attorney. Carol has been spending a ton of time on Judy's case. She thinks it is a winner.

Gillam's out of town and was not available for comment when I phoned her office.

Heeb Magazine's Hollywood Stories

Joshua Neuman, Editor and Publisher of Heeb magazine Sklar Brothers From ESPN Sklar Brothers Stephen Glass Stephen Glass JElvis, Stephen Glass Stephen Glass Lori Gottlieb Author Lori Gottlieb Lori Gottlieb Lori Gottlieb Lori Lori Gottlieb Jelvis, Sklars Jon Kesselman (writer/director of The Hebrew Hammer) Jon Kesselman Jon Kesselman Two Queer Eye Guys make a rare public appearance at a heterosexual event (Random) Author Aimee Bender Aimee Bender Aimee Bender Aimee Bender Wendy Spero (Comedy Central's Premium Blend) Wendy Spero Wendy Spero Sklars Sklars Eric Friedman

About 200 people jammed Three Clubs at 1123 North Vine Street in Hollywood.

The last time I was here was May 26. The occasion was a VCA party for DEZ'S DIRTY WEEKEND #3 starring Krystal Steal, Alaura Eden, Naudia Nyce, Sky Lopez, Tory Lane. I had brought a civilian girl. It was our first date.

June 21, Heeb gathered three times the crowd that the Dez's Dirty Weekend party mustered.

The first performer was novelist Stephen Glass, the protagonist of the movie Shattered Glass. He describes how he was warned in seventh grade Hebrew school about dating non-Jewish women. In public school, he was warned about venereal disease. In Hebrew school, shiksas.

"In Hebrew school, they took all the conspiracy theories about Jews and invoked them about Gentiles. They principally relied on the [myth] that Gentiles controlled the media...put out images of the shiksa [as the ultimate love object] and that Jews would end up dating shiksas, marrying shiksas, having non-Jewish babies, and soon there will be no Jews and Hitler's work will be finished.

"I was always wary of conspiracy theories, except for the one I would tell."

Stephen lives in Los Angeles with another novelist-lawyer -- Julie Hilden:

Julie Hilden grew up in Hawaii, went to high school in New Jersey, and now lives in Los Angeles, where she is beginning a career in screenwriting.

Julie is a graduate of Harvard College, Yale Law School and Cornell University's M.F.A. program.

Her memoir, The Bad Daughter, was published by Algonquin Books in 1998.

Julie writes a column on First Amendment law:

Are Accounts of Consensual Sex a Violation of Privacy Rights? The Lawsuit Against the Blogger "Washingtonienne"

Can Bloggers Invoke the Journalist's Privilege to Protect Confidential Sources Who Leak Trade Secrets?

Stephen describes his highschool relationship with Heather, a 6'0 platinum blonde who went to another school and therefore "had no idea of the depths of uncoolness she was reaching into."

Glass stuck Good Morning Vietnam tape in the VCR, returned to the couch, and suddenly she was all over him. "She did not want to steal our children and give them over to Christ. She merely wanted to embrace me. My parents liked her."

Then she went away to summer camp and afterwards she wanted nothing to do with Stephen. "She refused to process with me." Heather fell in love with a guy named Roy in "Ten Commandments class."

Lori Gottlieb was next. Never married, she's in her late 30s. "This is what I did after I broke up with my boyfriend last summer.... I decided I'd cut out the middleman and sign up a sperm bank. There was no sperm bank that was the equivalent of JDate, say JSpunk or JSperm..."

She had several coffee dates with a Harvard graduate. She wanted his sperm delivered directly to her ovum.

Lori says that "What a person does in his private life is his own business" is a Gentile attitude.

Gottlieb is a few weeks pregnant with a baby boy.

Director Jonathan Baruch Kesselman takes the stage. "To relax you should imagine your audience naked. And I've got you two people in front of me." He points to an old couple.

I arrive at 11pm. I meet Erin Moore. In the industry for two years, she's back from a two month hiatus.

Billy Tyler has been in porn for about 30-months. His regular job is teaching retarded kids at a middle-school. "I'm going to write a book about it," he says.

Duke: "I bet they gave you a lot of preparation for working with pornographers."

Billy: "Not really. Two different worlds."

Duke: "I've always thought that a lot of pornographers are handicapped, at least morally."

Billy laughs.

I interview Amber Peach, who's with Tee Reel (Red Light District contract performer and director). In porn for two years, she's done about 60 movies.

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

Amber: "Hugh Hefner. I wanted to own a mansion and have beautiful women running around.

"I had a girlfriend before I had a boyfriend."

Duke: "Are you more into girls or boys?"

Amber: "It's about the same."

She's from Alabama but her family wasn't religious.

Duke: "What were you expected to become?"

Amber: "As long as I went to college it was cool. I tried college. I lasted a year. I gave up. But I'm coming back."

Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"

Amber: "The freaks. I was a goth girl. I went to Catholic schools. I wasn't a great student."

Amber first had sex with a boy at age 14. She can't count the number of guys she was with before turning 18. "I never had a steady boyfriend. It was always friends with benefits."

Amber says the most shocking thing about porn is how uneducated people are. She says there are a lot of bad guys in the industry.

Amber is saving her money to buy a house back home.

Duke: "Do three anal scenes and you can buy a house in Alabama."

Amber: "I want to be a housewife."

Kimmy Lee is exhausted from her big orgy scene today. Around porn for two years, she's got about 15 movies out.

Duke: "How many black guys does it take to satisfy you?"

Kimmy: "How many did I satisfy today? Quite a few. [Director] Mark Anthony even jumped in there to see what everyone was talking about.

"I do a lot of the chubbier-girl stuff, which does sell. Until I drop the weight off."

Genesis Skye likes being choked during sex. Tonight, while posing for a picture, Genesis gets choked and she blacks out and collapses to the ground. A few seconds later, she comes to. She's ok except for some scrapes and bruises.

A couple of years ago, Stephanie Swift had big plans for her own production company. She got investors. She got a distributor -- Wicked Pictures -- where she used to be a contract girl.

Then she says her investors took over and wanted to renegotiate the distribution deal. They weren't content to let her run things. So they ran off with the master tapes. Stephanie retains the releases and can buy back the tapes for $30,000.

She's ready to move on from porn to study psychology. She's been with her boyfriend for five-and-a-half years. "We're married in the eyes of God," she says.

Hustler Editor Bruce David Pranked

On Thursday, June 23, Larry Flynt Publications, Inc., legal counsel Paul Cambria fired off a letter to Mark Cromer's attorney Nancy Gray, suggesting that Cromer had sent an email laced with graphic allegations against Bruce David to various LFP/Hustler staff members. The email was not sent from Cromer's email account, but had his name typed in it. Cromer replies:

Following my lengthy and on-the-record interview with Luke F-rd last Friday, June 17, concerning the specific circumstances surrounding my being forced from my job as Features Editor at Hustler by Editorial Director Bruce David, it appears that an email has been sent to various LFP/Hustler staff members purportedly with my name on it.

I did not write, nor did I participate in writing, any such email. I think it is absurd to assert that just days after I offered a detailed and for-attribution interview that I would suddenly and inexplicably begin sniping at Bruce David and others with emails allegedly sent to Hustler staff members. To suggest otherwise is simply an effort to muddy the waters and distract from the detailed account I have already set forth.

Anything I have to say about LFP, Hustler, Bruce David, my tenure there and the circumstances surrounding my departure will be done so on-the-record and in a fashion that can be authentically attributed to me.

Further, I again point out that I offered that interview only after remaining silent for almost eight months while I was being subjected to innuendo, insinuation and baseless allegations from Bruce David acting in his capacity at Hustler and LFP Inc.

I stand by every word published in the interview with L-ke Ford and, barring a conclusion to this matter, anticipate exercising my right to speak with him again on-the-record and at-length.

KB Pimps

He posts on GFY that he can get webmasters laid if they buy a banner ad on Bunnyranch.com.

I call him on it.

KB: "You know what pimp stands for, right? Put It in My Pocket.

"You don't understand about the game. You know what game stands for? General Amount Money Earned. Don't hate the playa. Hate the game.

"You can talk to your Mr. Johnsons and your Mr. Fabulous, but you know there's only one P.I.M.P. - Professional Internet Marketing Person. KBizzle.

"You're on the right train. You're just on the wrong track.

"Digital Underground is playing the House of Blues. You're not going to be there? You're so hip hop it hurts.

"I have to go do anal because I want to buy a puppy. That was the best.

"Have you talked to Lyra? I need to get a hold of that bitch. My time is limited with that girl [she's going to serve 11-months in federal prison for drug dealing]. I'm trying to make every moment count. We have spelling lessons at 3pm and Hooked on Phonics around 7pm."

Bob Friedland On The Lam?

Or has the former CEO of JKP been whacked? Remember he was in bed with Bizarre Video and their crew. There are so many people who hate this man, so many people with motives to kill him, who knows who's responsible for his disappearance.

Other stories circulating say that Friedland has fled the country. That he had many people after him including the IRS. One story says that the IRS padlocked his home. Another story says he was evicted from a place he was renting. There may be other government agencies looking for him. Creditors. Disgruntled investors.

I wonder if Friedland is hanging out with Skeeter Kerkove?

A source from within JKP calls: "Bob Friedland was not whacked. Ron Stone will never come back. IVD has not bought JKP. Bob did bail. He ran out the back door. Nobody knows where he is. He is on the run. He left as though it was business as usual.

"His health wasn't great. It's easier for someone in their final days to live happy rather than fight court cases and deal with money issues."

Rancer writes: "In other words, it's easier (and okay?) to rip off a bunch of people and disappear with the money rather than being held accountable for those actions... because he's old... and he's frail... and he deserves happiness in his twilight years?"

Pornohs.com Writes: Jill Kelly Productions Sold To IVD

Frank Koretsky of Pleasure owns IVD. He invested $250,00 in JKP a while ago. So maybe Frank is jangling for JKP's tape library?

A source writes: "I heard IVD did buy jill kelly's catalog, but what's he going to do with it? My guess is to either sell it off real cheap to wholesalers and distributors and license internet content."

I Still Believe Jenna Jameson Is Pregnant

Her email to the contrary, I can't stop believing.

What would Leo Strauss say?

I've been subscribing (a gift from Handsome Bob) to the journal of The Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy.

This publication has greatly improved my life. I've learned that it is wrong to commit adultery (for it violates both Natural Law and G-d's Law).

This moral stringency was never a problem for me until I went to a journalists' party this week and had a few too many drinks.

Journalists are a group with loose morals, and while I thought I was immune to their behaviors, I fear that their sinful ways have rubbed off on me.

At this party in question I met this woman in question who worked for this journal in question.

She was dressed to party, if you know what I mean. So I looked at her the way a man looks at a woman who's young and dressed to party. I was on my best behavior and just my charming self (talking about geriatric sex et al) and ended up engaging her in intellectual intercourse (Coase Theorem and whatnot).

The next day, I sobered up and found out she was married.

JKP CEO Friedland Resigns

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Bob Friedland has resigned his position as Chief Executive Officer of Jill Kelly Productions as of Friday, company publicist Scott Hoover confirmed today.

"No one knows where's he at," Hoover said. "He resigned his position as CEO. He no longer has anything to do with the company besides being a stockholder. He up and left us in a lurch. Dan Ice is running the day-to-day operations."

Ice was a member of the board of directors for Jill Kelly Productions Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded company (JKXJ). One share of stock was valued at $0.18, an 8-cent increase, at press time.

Angels on the Fairway, Here Is My Request

Dan writes: "Well, gee, I hope you're ready to apologize now that you've posted those photos, dripping with innocence and good clean fun as they are."

A man writes:

I have read your web site for sometime now, and this is the first time I have ever wanted to email you, but I thought I should set the record straight. I have attended this event a couple of times, and whoever said it is a F--K Fest is absolutely correct.

Yes, we all pay a lot of money to attend this event, but the extra curricular activity is amazing to say the least. Yes, the woman are very beautiful, and yes they are for sale. I spent many thousands of for some amazing ladies, where else can you get this caliber of lady to F--K you?

Some bring their boyfriends to protect them so they will not be approached. But is a free-for-all sex party! This woman Simone is full of s--- of she says it is not! She knows it is and so do all the paying customers!

This event is a place where we men can get away from our ladies, wives, girlfriends etc, and get some good old top quality pussy, what is wrong with that? As for where the money goes, that is something maybe someone should look into! But, who gives a sh--, we got the pussy we went there for!

Chloe Jones's Man Chis Miguez

I spoke to Montana Gunn Wednesday. "All this bulls--- coming out about Chris is unbelievable. He's got a great job [he's worked for a major corporation for nine years]. He hated that whole family because all they wanted was something off of Chloe. That's why they were taking pictures of her [at the funeral]. I said to Chris, isn't that morbid taking photos of the kids in front of the casket with the casket open?"

Luke: "Were they taking pictures of Chloe [Melinda Taylor] in the casket?"

Montana: "Yeah. With the kids and telling them to smile. They had two big giant digital cameras. They took hundreds of pictures. They were taking pictures of me. Raylin, Andrea and I were saying to Chris, isn't that morbid?

"My father says, 'That's the goyim for you.' He goes, 'There's just too many goyim out here.'"

I call Chris Miguez around noon on Wednesday, June 22.

Luke: "I was interviewing Chloe's sisters Melanie and Michelle."

Chris: "Are you familiar with [Melinda's] relationship with her sisters? They're not credible people. They've been jealous of her since birth. They're nobody. They've constantly been against Melinda. As long as I've known them, the stories I've been told, and the first-hand interaction I've had with them. To have a story going off of what they say, you're wasting your time. They weren't there for Melinda. They've never been there for her. I've read through the statements they've made. They've contradicted themselves in so many different ways, all the way down to the payment of the funeral. I've got receipts of everything. Mike Taylor and I paid for everything, including the security which I paid for out of my pocket. The only person in the family who contributed one cent was Melba Tucker, an aunt who hadn't seen Melinda since Melinda was a kid.

"The funeral home donated the casket which was $2,000. That didn't cover all the funeral expenses. That didn't cover the four plots out at Woodlawn Funeral Services that I'm paying for.

"I've heard what the sisters said about the apartment being in her name, and accounts that I've taken, drug dealing, no job. It's absurd. I'm a project manager for one of the most prominent oil and gas companies in the world. I have more respect and notoriety in this city with some well-known people than they could dream up of. It was appalling to hear, but it doesn't surprise me."

Luke: "What did Melinda tell you about her sisters?"

Chris: "Two-faced. Couldn't trust 'em. Stealing quarters from a dead-man's eye. Melinda always wanted somebody in her life to talk to. She had a lot of resentment towards her sisters because they were never there for her. She left them behind and headed for California years ago. She didn't have a relationship with them. I'm the one who said, 'Maybe you should try to give them another chance. Give them a call. Try to talk to them. Maybe they've changed.'

"They started communicating but they had no faith in their sister. They told me on many occasions that I should commit her. That I should put her in a home because she wasn't getting any better. She was getting better."

Luke: "Did she need to go some place for rehab?"

Chris: "She went to a rehab facility two years ago. I told her towards the end, if you do not get completely away from those pills, show me a proven track record that you are going to do better, I will put you in an in-patient facility. I looked into it. I even showed her programs that were partial in-patient, out-patient detox programs. There was a facility right down the road from where we lived that could customize a program based on your needs.

"She didn't want us to split. We had our hard times. When there were hard times, she'd lash out and want people to think that Chris is this and Chris is that.

"Even Mike Taylor can vouch for my efforts with Melinda. He and I have gotten close as far as being there for the kids. I've not walked out of those kids lives. I'm like a stepfather to them."

Luke: "What was Melinda like in her last few weeks? Her sister says she knew she was going to die."

Chris: "Bulls---. I've been with Melinda for three years. The last two weeks were some of the best weeks as far as she spent time with her kids without my support. Her kids were out on summer break. I work during the day. I get home late sometimes. I was always worried about Melinda. She was weak. She'd been through some major surgeries. Three kids can be a lot of pressure.

"But she did it. She took them several places. She took them swimming every day. It about nearly killed her. I called and checked on her during the day. I got her to put me on speaker phone to talk to the kids and get them in line."

Luke: "Were you going to donate part of your liver?"

Chris: "At the USC, there's a liver donor facility. I've got the application I filled out. There are a lot of prerequisites to be considered as a donor. You can't just have the same blood type. We looked into it. We researched it. We contacted the transplant facility. We expressed interest. We did a pre-screening over the phone. We got accepted to do a physical.

"After the funeral, while I was going through the paperwork, she never sent in the actual letter. She wasn't known for her responsibility. I had full intent. I spoke with them. I had all the documentation."

Luke: "You were going to donate part of your liver?"

Chris: "Yes, I was. I'm 27-years old. My health is good. It would've been a month off of work and my liver would've recovered in 18-months and been back to normal."

Luke: "Did you or Chloe know she was dying in her last few weeks?"

Chris: "No. No trace of it. No sign of it. She died in my arms. Friday night, before she died, it was getting late. We had to go to Louisiana the next day. So we had to get up early. She always liked to stay up late.

"She was tipsy. She'd taken some Phenergan, prescribed by a doctor. It calms nausea but it makes you woozy. She was smoking a cigarette on the porch. I said you should go to bed. She said, give me a minute. I said, you need to go now. With Melinda, give me a minute means an hour.

"I helped her up and brought her to bed. She said, I'm still hungry. I said, what do you want? She said, bring me something from Jack in the Box. I said, stay in bed. I'll run up to Jack in the Box. You can eat quickly. We need to get some sleep.

"I went to Jack in the Box. By the time I got back, she was snoring. I'd been gone ten minutes.

"I didn't wake her up. I closed the apartment down. I turned the lights down. I got in the bed. She acknowledged I was in bed. She snuggled up to me and slept against me like normal. She told me she loved me. I told her I loved her. I said, don't worry about getting up. I'll wake you up. Just get a good night's rest.

"It took me about 30-minutes to go to sleep. Everything was normal. When I woke up before 6am, I nudged her to wake up. Normally, she would've jumped up. I noticed there was a good amount of slobber on my shoulder where her face was. But that was not out of the ordinary. But she wasn't moving. It was not like her to be in the same position she was six hours ago. Normally she was on the other end of the bed.

"I rolled over, turned the light on, and she was in a state I had never seen before. I immediately checked her pulse and she didn't have a pulse. I called 9-1-1. I picked her off the bed and put her on the floor. They had me doing chest compressions. [The ambulance] didn't get there until 45-minutes later. She was still warm. I had them do a full autopsy to see what exactly the full causes are.

"My gut tells me that she either aspirated, choked... Three days prior to this happening, she had some oral surgery done in her mouth, tooth surgery. Since the surgery, she had a massive amount of discharge. Fluids were draining from that area. She had choked a couple of nights before on that fluid but she'd woken up and I'd patted her on the back.

"That morning [June 4], that discharge was the same stuff. She could've easily choked on that or she could've had a heart attack. Her body was at the end of the rope.

"Do I think she took an overdose of pills or drugs? No. I watched her like a hawk with regards to that.

"She'd come to me and say, I've taken two Vicodin today. And I'd say, you mean you've taken five.

"She knew that I wouldn't chastise her. She knew that I would help her. I did. I saved her life three times in a year-and-a-half by getting her to the hospital in time, by recognizing the signs that she was not doing well... And even in Saint Christoph's hospital, they know every single time she's been there, how she got there. If I wouldn't have taken her there in the time that I did she would've died.

"There was one occasion when even Mike knew she needed to go to the hospital. She was laying in her apartment. This was a breaking point in our relationship. It was about a seven months ago. She was not doing well. She said, Chris, please come over. I miss you. I want to work things through.

"I wanted to work things through but I was tired of the crap and the lies and all the bulls---. But I kept coming back. I didn't want drama. I have a career and I didn't want it to be affected.

"I went over there. I saw how weak she was. I picked her up, carried her to my vehicle, strapped her in my vehicle so she couldn't get out, crawled over her, and rushed her to the only hospital that knows how to take care of. They quickly started running procedures on her. If we would've waited another day, she would've died.

"I sat by her in the hospital each time. I would wake up in the morning and go to the hospital. At lunch, I'd come see her. At night, I'd come see her. I was the only one. Mike would occasionally come up there and see how she was doing. Her family? No."

Luke: "What about her mother?"

Chris: "Loose cannon. Kleptomaniac. Thief. Good intentions. Fell short. Maybe it is because of the three daughters she had and the s--- they put her through. There is some speculation about the murder of her husband [Wayne in 1996], saying he killed himself.

"All the stuff about her family that got released is not necessary. This is about Melinda and our life as she knew it and how everyone thought she lived. It's not about the drugs they did as kids. It should've been more about her. Her whole family tried to trash their own whole family."

Luke: "Why did you stay with Melinda?"

Chris: "Because I loved her.

"She didn't have money. We struggled for the 18-months of our relationship. We lived paycheck to paycheck. Before I met her, when she first got in the industry, she and Michael went on a tear. They made a lot of money. But they pissed it away. He'll tell you the same thing.

"Her income went to s---. Her income, her residuals from her website, were commission based. They docked her pay. She's always done escorting. She didn't do it throughout our relationship, [just] towards the end.

"Financially speaking, I would've been better of not being with her. My income would've been my income alone. I wouldn't have had to put it towards a three bedroom apartment and three children and a woman."

Luke: "Michelle said: 'We were locked out of our apartment by Chris. Chris is taking [Chloe's] truck.'"

Chris: "That apartment is my apartment. That apartment was our apartment. Mike Taylor can vouch for this -- he didn't want them coming over to begin with because they're thieves. They've stolen from Melinda their entire life. I had the heart on the first day they were here [June 9] to view some of the pictures and clothes. They had the nerve to ask for pieces of the clothes. I said no. I'd already put most of their clothes in trunks so there wouldn't be anything loose that they could get their hands on.

"When I wasn't there, I double-bolted the doors and I would not let anybody in there. Mike said, 'I don't even want them to be over there because I know how they are.' The only reason they are kissing his ass is because they are worried that interaction with the kids will be lossed. That's the only reason. They chastised him forever until now.

"Mike's made errors. I've made errors. Melinda's made errors.

"[Melinda's sisters] didn't contribute one cent to that funeral. When they were down here, I paid for their room and board. I paid $50 a day so they could stay at the corporate housing [near] our apartment. They trashed the place. They stole the linen. I had to pay a fee for the apartment people to clean the place. They stayed a day-and-a-half over. The first night they were there, I took all of them out to eat. I paid for it. I was just doing it out of respect and they totally disrespected me."

Luke: "What did Michelle mean when she said: 'Chris wiped her bank account clean. I saw $10,000 to $15,000 in $100 bills on the first night we sat down [June 9].'"

Chris: "Melinda had her own checking account. I told her to. It had negative $250 in it at the time of the funeral.

"As far as the money -- I have a night contract job where I do the same things I do during the day at night. They gave me a pay advance. One check. I advance. My regular day job, they gave me one week grievance pay. I cashed that check. I had about $6,000 that went towards the funeral."

Luke: "Were you Melinda's fiance?"

Chris: "There's an original divorce decree that went into effect the first time they went to court (two years ago). They signed off.

"There's 30-days to contest the divorce. While we were fixing to get married, we'd won a wedding to get married in Vegas...

"After looking at the divorce decree where she signed off on anything it said because she was tired of fighting with [Mike Taylor], it clearly stated that all financial responsibility would be laid on Melinda, meaning me. We would take care of daycare. We would take care of school needs. We would take care of everything financially and still share the tax break with Mike. It would be week-on, week-off visitation.

"For the better part of the three years of our relationship, I carried medical insurance on her and on her three children.

"I got to looking at and said, how am I ever going to get ahead while it is looking like it is? I'm going to be footing the bill from here on out. He's not paying any child support.

"I told Melinda that you should get a fresh start with a lawyer and have him review this.

"I've got documentation for all the daycare and everything I've paid for. I claimed the kids on my taxes last year and I claimed Melinda as a dependent. I was head of household and putting her under me. For eight months out of the year last year, they lived with us. I financially provided.

"When Melinda contested the divorce, they granted a retrial. Melinda got sick and wasn't able to attend. They rescheduled the hearing a second time. Then a third time. Melinda was sick again. A fourth time. That was [in March or April of 2005]. Mike was up at the hospital and the doctor said Melinda might not make it another day. She's going to die.

"Mike immediately ran to his lawyer and said, I don't want to follow through with the divorce. Melinda's been through enough. Then he went and activated a life insurance policy [on Melinda].

"When they threw out the divorce, they reinstated the original decree that states 31-days after they threw it out, I became common-law married to her.

"We were still going to go to Vegas to get married, but the lawyers said, you're either going to get a contested divorce or you are going to get married. You can't do both.

"I was with Melinda 24/7, either by phone or in person."

Luke: "How did she feel about the pornography industry?"

Chris: "She hated it.

"The pornography industry did not kill her. It started in childhood. She had fu---ed-up sisters and mother. She went through a nine year relationship [with Mike Taylor] that was mentally and physically abusive. She's got a metal rod in her right arm from a dispute with him. This is not saying it was all his fault. It takes two to tango. They just had a hard nine-years and it mentally screwed with her.

"The prescription pill problem started before [porn]. Was she doing better? Yes. She had weaned her way down. She was doing better."

Luke: "Who is Lisa Skeirys and what is her thing with you?"

Chris: "Lisa is an old friend of her's. Melinda wanted to have friends. Anytime she made friends, there was always an ulterior motive [on the part of the new friend]. Everybody wanted to capitalize off of her. Little did they know there wasn't much to capitalize off of.

"Melinda had called me. Why don't you come up here [to the strip club Yellow Rose in Austin in November of 2003]? I said, why? She said, because I don't feel well and I don't trust Lisa.

"Lisa had stolen her money because Melinda was incapacitated. All the money Melinda had made was gone."

Lisa denies this and says Chris Miguez stole from her.

Chris: "I drove up there and stayed with them. Melinda wanted to leave her there. She didn't want to bring her home. They had a big falling out. Why Lisa is trying to talk s--- about me, I don't care. She's nobody. I'm not concerned about her. Her ex-boyfriend was a large drug dealer."

Luke: "The sisters and Lisa claim that you are or were a drug dealer?"

Chris: "Before I met Melinda, I knew people. I was in that party crowd. I had involvement with them. I did my occassional s---. I've had my career for eight years. I've been in the IT (Information Technology) industry for eight years."

Chris says he's spoken with his lawyer about Melinda's sisters' remarks about him.

Chris says he did not sleep with Raylin and Montana Gunn. "Raylin and Montana were probably the only two people Melinda was friends with who I trusted, who didn't have ulterior motives. Raylin visited Melinda at the hospital."

Chris: "The night of the funeral [June 11], the sisters went out and got drunk and stayed at Mike Taylor's apartment. They had money to get drunk but they couldn't contribute to the funeral. When Mike Taylor got in that morning, there were three other people in his bed. The sisters were carried in the house they were so drunk.

"Melinda's sisters are white trash. They make s--- money. All they're trying to do is get a piece of the spotlight. They have an ulterior motive to make some quick buck with some bulls--- book they're going to write.

"Melinda has a book about a third-of-the-way-through that I helped her write.

"There's no life insurance policy for Melinda. The one that Mike Taylor activated, they threw out because it was too new."

Here's The FSC/DOJ Deal

Mike South reports:

Under the deal, the government will not enforce the new 2257 regulations until the FSC's lawsuit challenging them is resolved. Thats essentially it, and that is a reasonable deal. While technically this would only apply to FSC members, realistically it will apply to everyone.

A Current Affair Profiles Chloe Jones

Host Tim Green Charlie Sheen Chloe Jones Jenna Jameson Chloe Jones, son Chloe, Mike Taylor Chloe's kids Mike Taylor Chloe, kid Jenna Jameson Chloe Jones Andrea Mountjoy Andrea Mountjoy Andrea Mountjoy Chloe, Mike Chloe Jones Andrea Mountjoy Chloe Jones in the movie Chloe & Rose's F---ed Up Adventure John Bowen, Chloe Jones John Bowen Chloe in the movie Chloe & Rose Chloe National Enquirer cover on Charlie Sheen, Chloe Jones Chloe, Charlie Sheen Chloe Chloe and her son Chloe's kids Chloe's kids

The following is a selective and disjointed transcript of the show. Adultyfi report.

Reporter Doug Bruckner: "Jenna Jameson called a halt to an autograph session to pay tribute."

Jenna: "I was close friends with Chloe. I've known her for over ten years. We got into the industry at about the same time. We're all very sad and our condolences go out to her family."

Husband Mike Taylor: "She lived a separate life. When she was Chloe Jones and she was on the road feature dancing, or in front of a camera, she gave it her all. On the other side of that, she was a great mother."

Doug: "Just weeks before her death, Chloe had plans to leave adult entertainment and become a funeral director."

Mike: "Her goal was to get back to the Commonwealth Institute for Funeral Directing here in Houston, the only funeral directing school in the state."

Doug: "From corsets to caskets? It may sound bizarre, but no one who knew the woman affectionately known as crazy Chloe was surprised by anything she did."

Jenna Jameson: "She was so funny and so different from any other girl in the industry."

Mike: "She [Chloe] shot with Milton Berle."

Doug: "Just as her modeling career took off, the small town Texas girl fell victim to big city terror."

Mike: "She was raped. She was leaving a photo shoot. A guy took a baseball bat to her in an alley. It was after that blow that she felt victim to epileptic seizures."

Chloe returned to Houston and worked as a stripper. She fell in love with the manager of a strip club Mike Taylor. Their first child was born a year later.

Doug: "Money was tight and naked dancer Chloe was hearing from XXX producers."

Andrea Mountjoy: "She didn't feel comfortable doing some things, but I know she felt in her heart that she didn't have a choice."

Mike: "She didn't want it to come back later and have the kids see it. I said, we can explain to our children one day that this is just what mom and dad did."

Doug Bruckner: "She became an instant adult star. She did the Howard Stern Show and went on a date with some of her listeners. In the mid 1990s, she also got the attention of playboy Charlie Sheen."

Mike: "Charlie had purchased her phone number from a photographer. Charlie paid her a chunk of money to come out and spend a few days with him. I talked on the phone with Charlie Sheen. He was a longtime fan of her's. He had every magazine that she had ever been in. The limo showed up at our house. The driver came in and brought a big bottle of Crown Royalle for me. The limo was full of roses. I road with her to the airport. She took off and went to LA."

Doug: "Charlie Sheen, who had a long romance with adult star Ginger Lynn, has acknowledged he knew Chloe, but says she was just a friend.

"Her glamorous Hollywood days were long gone when Chloe touched down in Brazil two years ago for one of her last sex videos. Chloe tried to hide it with pranks, but her health was fading."

Director John Bowen: "It was like being on a rock 'n' roll tour with Janis Joplin. It was high-energy, high-danger."

Doug: "The first night in Sao Paolo, Chloe suffered a reaction to her epilepsy medication."

John: "We rushed her to a hospital. They had to put her on a stomach pump and an IV drip."

Doug: "Chloe recovered and did her scenes the next day."

John: "She'd have these epileptic fits, go rigid."

Doug: "The DVD were a top seller even though Chloe's health problems were on a featurette.

"Three months ago, Andrea visited Chloe in Houston."

Andrea: "She started having a seizure in the car."

Doug: "Chloe Jones spent Memorial Day (Monday, May 30) weekend with her kids. They went to amusement parks."

Host Tim Green: "And it's the kids you have to feel bad for."

2257 Revised Regulations In Effect June 23

Seth Lubove writes in Forbes:

NEW YORK - Is your Internet browser a little less polluted with porn today? Are you seeing fewer banner ads promoting hard-core sex? If so, thank U.S. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales. Largely unnoticed in the mainstream world, his new porn record-keeping regulations went into effect today, causing fits of apoplexy among much of the porn world.

"This is an attack, we are back to the dark ages of witch hunts and instead of burning innocent people at the stake they are putting them in jail and ripping apart their businesses and families," wails the Web site of Lisa S. Lawless, whose company specializes in videos featuring female orgasms. Casualties so far, if anyone will miss them, include the aptly named Bound & Gagged, which describes itself as "The world's greatest male bondage magazine." At least it was: Its Web site shut down on Wednesday.

Legendary Lars writes on GFY:

After reading the Pdf from the DOJ in response to the litigation it became quite clear to me that the DOJ fully expected litigation. They were able to put up a 35 page document in response in a couple of days. Thats either a huge ammount of manpower or a well thought out plan of attack, or both.

NNTS writes: "I removed all my freesites, galleries and images last night. If this s---(secondary producer) is reverse some day, I'll have to start over from scratch practically."

A source writes me: "FSC tells me they worked out a deal with the court that protects their members from inspections until the complaint is decided, but everyone else is affected by the new rules. A strange, new day for the biz."

Marketing Celebrity Sex

One consultant emails a potential client:

I am doing a sizable interview with Channel 4 London. Everytime I do a special for them it's a nice retur for the customers I represent- I can plug your website as a destination to go check out celebrity web stuff- I normally charge $2,000- $5,000 per appearance- I didn't hear back from Rick Saloman so I am looking for another company to rep- I get decent results, I don't know if you saw the sex.com documentary but it's the same people who produced that story.

Consultant calls me back: "Why are you surprised? Do you realize how much traffic that creates when you post someone's URL in an interview?"

Duke: "I guess from a marketing perspective, it's ok. From a journalistic perspective, it makes me cringe."

Consultant: "I'm not a journalist. You watch chicks with no teeth f---ing on Rob Spallone movies, but this bothers you?"

Yo Luke, Enough With The Karaoke Pics

SmutMutant writes on XPT: "Isn't there something more useful you can do w/ your time or is porn gossip that dead?"

Bornyo writes:

Smut, are you really this stupid? A lot of us live for these pictures.

There is a lot of information laid out there to be gleaned. Pretend for a second that you were a Washington DC political reporter instead of a loser who spends his life watching porn flicks, referring to himself in the third person, and writing "clever" porn movie reviews. You knew that Bush, Cheney, Condi, Ted Kennedy, Hillary, Powell, Newt, et.al. were going to be hanging out with their hair down, f---ing singing karaoke at the same place and time every week. You would be an IDIOT to not attend. In this regard Luke is proving he is no idiot.

As to what I learned from this weeks batch of pictures: I learned that Genesis Skye is hot as hell even if she did flake on Mandy and I learned that apparently, based on how many shots he took, Brother Luke has a new crush on her. Godspeed Luke, keep up the good fight.

Mark Kulkis's Donation History

Brad from Pornohs.com writes: "He donated to the Democrats as well as the Republicans, definitely makes it seem like he was just looking for some kind of publicity, unusual to donate to both parties."

JKP Sold?

I heard Jill Kelly Productions has been sold to a big player from the East Coast. Pleasure Productions? Frank Koretsky?

Ethelle The Porn Star

I was all excited reading this diary of a porn star who was a fan of my writing. But now I've found out that this "porn star" is the underage daughter of a friend of mine. This girl was just creating a fictional blog for fun. So now I feel creepy, as though I am a bad influence on the impressionable.

2257 Update

Montana Gunn Responds To The Sisters Of Chloe Jones

They said Montana slept with Chloe's boyfriend in the days just before Chloe's funeral.

Montana writes 6/22/05:

Wow. Unbelievable. Just because Raylin and I took him out for dinner and he was so exhausted with everything and cried and cried and cried, he just passed out in my room with us. Now would you wake up the poor guy to go home after what he has gone through? I don't think so.

I am not or have not been with Chris! I wish someone would have called me if that was what was told to them. Chris, Raylin and I went to dinner. Chris was in tears and he passed out in my room. He and Raylin left in the morning since she was staying at their house and got ready and we all met at the funeral. I don't know anything but what was said to me by Chris, not by the sisters. I thought they were very nice. I really wish they would or could of asked mike taylor for my number. I went to lunch the day of the funeral with Chris and his friend Mike and then they dropped me off at my hotel and said they would be back later so I could pick up my car over at the apartment. It wasn't until after 9 pm when he returned and I had been asleep the whole time and he fell asleep from exhaustion as well over at his friends. I wanted to get home but I couldn't find my car keys and Chris volunteered to take me to the airport and he would return the car the next day.

That is what happened and I believe he spent the night at my hotel room which didn't bother me as long as he got the rental car back to the rental place which he did. I didn't meet Chris until the day of the funeral. I talked to him and Chloe many of times on the phone and that was that.

Oh and let me take back the three month of Chloe's hospitalization. It was more like three weeks of hell for the poor girl and she had told me the last week when I came to visit her three months of torture so I apologize for the misunderstanding of words that were told to me by Chloe. And yes we met in the business but that doesn't mean we were not close friends in fact we were very close. Especially towards the end. Closer than we ever were.

And as I did mention we didn't talk for the years she was in the adult business doing movies because she wasn't Chloe. We had started talking again about six months ago and we became close again. she would call me and I would call her. I visited her and we talked about her getting healthy and me mentioning the CRA was real important to her. I just feel like I should of been there just a few days early and she could of lived a little or a lot longer but I wasnt able and yes I feel very guilty about it. I loved Melinda and she was a very good person. I just want her to rest in peace and, well, I guess maybe she is up there giggleing away and saying, more drama, just the way I like it.
