The Cryptkeeper in PJs

Cathy writes:

Remember Hugh Hefner's last set of multiple girlfriends? Handie, Mandie, Brandie, Randie and Post-Priandie, I think they were called. They've been replaced by a new shift of just three: Holly, Bridget and Kendra. You can meet them all in "The Girls Next Door," a new E! reality series that premieres Sunday, and...oh, just let the E! press release tell you, because I really can't top it:

Discover the playful adventures of "The Girls Next Door" -- from planning naughty birthday parties to entertaining prospective Playmates. See the drama of their daily lives. It's not all red carpets, limo rides and celebrity partying; the girls live by Hef's rules, which include a strict curfew to be home by sundown, unless he's with them, of course!

Bridget, a star of the new reality series, tells the story of her first sex experience in the dramatic reality softcore series My First Time, suddenly running again on Showtime.

Stripdown Magazine Party Pics From Wednesday Night

Tara reports:

Stripdown Magazine sponsored a party entitled 'Porn Star Evolution' hosted by Adam and Eve contract star Austyn Moore on August 3, 2005 at the Miracle Mile venue, The Conga Room. Porn stars turned out in force for the wonderful event. Nikki Benz, Tera Patrick, and Lucy Lee arrived first and made the paparrazzi go crazy snapping photos. Mofowear girls, Katrina Kraven, Olivia O'Lovely, Flower Tucci, and Mofo himself made a dramatic entrance closely followed by Missy Monroe and Kat. Taylor Wane stunned the yapping photogs into silence with her stunning attire, which consisted of a sheer pastel flower print dress, which enhanced her lovely bosoms even more. Chloe Dior and Serena Marcus arrived together. Alana Evans and hubby Chris Evans were present as well. Gorgeous Alana showed off her name breasts. Tyler Faith and Wankus arrived with a delicious looking Tyla Wynn and date. Ice La Fox quickly ran the media gauntlet. The posse from Elegant Angel included Tianna Lynn, Alex Divine. Tiffany Taylo, and another pretty blonde who's name I forgot. Mary Carey swanned about with a new boyfriend and a skinny, tighter, firmer body.

Jack's Playground 25 Trailer

Funniest trailer I've seen.

Some Middle Eastern character (played by one of Digital Playground's in-house editors) narrates: "My friend, my cousin is Joone. My cousin allows me to sell movies to you American man. Jack's Playground 25 features Randi Wright. You can do no wrong here, friend, even though she's a whore.... Never before seen Tera Patrick and Rocki Road. Tera Patrick back from the dead.... Two guys in one hole... I sell nothing but the best. No Cherry Boxxx. I do not sell s---. I do pre-order bootleg copies too."

On Set With Bishop - Interracial Anal #1 For Wanted Angel

Bambi Brown Bambi Bambi Bishop Bambi Bambi Josh Hunter, Christian Christian Bambi, Bishop

Smelly Monkey writes: "Part of the 2257 agreement is the government is allowed to electro shock black male performers when it sees fit. Here's Bishop taking one for the team."

Bishop calls me Wednesday. He says he's shooting Thursday at 11am for the new company Wanted Angel. He's their first director. "This is the first time someone has said to me, 'What do you want to do? Go do it.'

He gives me the address. I check Yahoo Maps and there's no such address. But I head out in faith anyway despite the sticky heat, my pounding headache and my rumbling stomach.

I take the 405 to the 118 West to De Soto south. I arrive at 11am. No sign of Bishop. I call him. He's on his way.

I go for a walk.

At 11:20, I get tired of waiting and knock on the door of the shooting house. I hear children. Something's very wrong, I think.

The door opens. A tall porn star gathers her two little boys. "You're coming in and we're leaving," she says.

I see Christian (stands 6'5" with a shaved head) on the couch. The TV plays Comcast's Reggae station.

Christian, 31 (he worked as a highschool teacher -- U.S. History, Goverment, assistant basketball coach -- for three years in a small town in Texas, he was the only unmarried teacher, "it was a rough life"), talks to his agent Derek at LADirectModels about his second scene later in the day.

I've driven for 50-minutes. I'm hot and cranky and desperate to get content. I get Christian to give me an interview.

He says that as a kid in Texas he wanted to become a school teacher when he grew up. His parents were teachers. His dad had a PhD in Bio-Chemistry from Harvard.

Christian played college basketball and got two undergraduate degrees (History and Education, and a Minor in Political Science).

Duke: "How did you get into this?"

Christian: "I was bored being a teacher and decided to move to Vegas and one thing led to another.

"I dated a girl who used to be in the business, Lovette. She took me to the Nightmoves Tampa Show in [September] 2000. I did some amateur stuff. We had an orgy with Anna Malle and her husband, Serena Lee... I knew I could do it. I met some people."

Christian speaks in a slow Texan drawl.

"When I lived in Las Vegas, I worked at a nightclub at the Venetian. I was a host. The dude's who wear suits and stand out front and don't let you in. I decided to make extra cash by doing scenes. I wandered around AVN a couple of years ago and told everybody that if they needed a guy, to give me a chance. I started slow and worked my way up. I've done about 250 scenes.

"For a year, I was living in Vegas and coming out here and doing scenes part-time. In January of 2005, I moved to LA and I work every day."

Duke: "Why the shaved head?"

Christian: "I do triathlons, so I shave my whole body. I've run 15 marathons (with times near four hours). I did two Ironmans (swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and a 26.2 mile run, his times were around 13 hours). I'm 235 pounds, so running is brutal."

Duke: "Why do you want to stay in porn?"

Christian: "The lifestyle. The people and the hours and the money."

Duke: "Why did you leave teaching?"

Christian: "I was so bored. I lived in a town of 25,000 people. The head coach was married and had two kids and was very religious. Every summer I'd work as a bouncer in nightclubs in Dallas or San Antonio. One summer I said, I'm 26 and single in the prime of my life, I'm going to Vegas for the summer. I got out there and never came back.

"My family is religious. Catholics. They know [he does porn]. They're not very happy. My dad's a retired colonel. Very successful. My parents are cool. As long as I'm happy, I guess. Obviously they're upset. They're dealing with it. I don't flaunt it. I downplay it as much as I can. My brother outed that to them.

"My middle brother lived in Japan for a few years. He loves Asian girls. He wants to know what Charmaine Star is like. I work for DVSX. They have a whole Asian line. I have to snag some videos for him so I can mail them to him in Spain.

"I got in this business because of the girls. This is such a fun job. I get to work with people I watched as a fan. Obviously, dating Lovette, I like a lot of the old-school girls. If I could've been in porn ten years ago, I would've died. Girls like Kaitlyn Ashley, Nikki Tyler... I got to work with Jesse Jane and Devon on the same day. How do you have a better day than that in this business?

"Lowlights? I don't have many. I'm a low-key guy. I don't get upset. This is such a good life."

Christian was a contract player for Falcon Pictures, a famous gay porn company, under the name Maxx Diesel. He's also done some Female-to-Male strap-on stuff for Joey Silvera such as Strap Attack 1 and 2.

Christian: "When I first moved to Vegas, I was messing around online looking for ways to get into the business as early as 2001. I came across Chi Chi LaRue. All I knew was that he directed for Vivid. I sent him an email and said I'd love to be in one of your movies. He replied, unless you live in LA, you can't do that. But I also direct for this company [Falcon]. They offered me good money. They flew me out for the whole weekend. They put me up in a hotel. I didn't know anything like that.

"From dating Lovette, we'd always jacked around with vibrators and stuff, so it wasn't a big deal as far as what I had to do. I was thinking that for that money I could do anything. So I did one. They really liked it. They wanted to sign me to do five more for a year [until January 2003]. For each one, they offered me more money.

"Looking back, I probably shouldn't have done it, knowing that this was going to be my career now. I didn't have a bad experience with it. Those are good people and they treated me really well.

"By the time I had done seven movies, I'd learned about the inside of the business and got into it. It was a transition."

Christian posts frequently on ADT under the name Cwians.

Two girls who like it rough and won't respond unless you treat them rough -- Kelly Wells and Hillary Scott.

I hear Davia Ardell is returning to porn.

I hear Tori Lane got married to Rick Shameless.

The crew enjoy eating the salad and fruit Bishop brought.

Jason asks Bishop: "How come there wasn't food here yesterday?"

Bishop: "Because Luke likes food on his sets."

But I don't like food where other people can touch it before it goes in my mouth. I like granola bars and food that is wrapped up.

Bambi Brown works with Christian. I met her on her first set in January. This is her seventh movie.

Bishop gives a little speech before turning on his camera: "This is just porn.We're not going to try to cure anything today. I just want three positions and anal."

Marc Kramer Apologizes To Jack The Zipper, Kimberly Kane

His assistant sent out this email:

I would like to retract the previous email sent out to all Hustler/VCA directors regarding Kimberly Kane. In addition, I would like to make a formal apology to both KK and Jack the Zipper. This is a simple case of misunderstanding, and we welcome the opportunity to shoot KK again. Thank you, and again please accept my apologies.

Paycom Cripples Meatholes.com

Paycom demanded that Meatholes (Kahn Tusion) withdraw some of its most violent and degrading content or the credit card processor said it would abandon the site. Meatholes complied but has decided to stop adding new content to the site. Paycom processes about 5,000 customers a month for meatholes.

"Out of the 100 million people surfing the internet," says a Meatholes sources, "only 40,000 may want our content but we're the only ones who have it."

Internext Report

Cindi Loftus writes:

Porners and XXX webmasters have been flying in and checking in all day to the gorgeous Diplomat Hotel. And we are lucky enough this year to be taking over the whole place. Who knows what craziness will be happen! In order to even BE in the hotel this year you have to have a badge which you can pick up in the lobby. Many out of towners have already complained about trying to breath the wonderfully humid air and bear the 95 degree temps. Sorry guys. But welcome to Fort Lauderdale! It's actually amazingly beautiful here on the beach and the views are breathtaking, so are the girls running around! Biggest party tonight is at the Solid Gold strip club. My friend Ace Cartier is there right now. He says the VIP room is rocking. There are free drinks for everyone. Tera Patrick is there, being sweet and friendly and looking sexy in her little black dress. Ace says that Evan is a kick ass dude, and was nice as hell. Also in the VIP were Max Hardcore, Nick Manning, Bang Bros guys, Preston and Rod and Sophie Dee & Sunny Leone. I will be up early and picking up my pass first thing tomorrow morning to tell you how it all goes at the convention. I am really looking forward to it! See you tomorrow!

Nacho Vidal Vs. Tony Ribas

Nacho writes in his fan forum:

HELLO EVERYBODY IN THE FORUM, I MEAN MY FRIENDS, TONI RIBAS WAS MY FRIEND LONG TIME AGO , NOW HE IS A BIG ASSHOLE ! ! YOU KNOW I DONT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH NOBODY , BUT HE IT DESERVES I SAID IT...IM NOT JELOUS OF HE , HE IS NOT IN MY RANK AND YOU KNOW I DONT LIE , PEOPLE WHO KNOW ME KNOW IT.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in a world where my heroes Nacho and Tony are not friends.

From the Puerto Rican porn report:

Do you remember the other email I sent to you about his divorce? The post was errased of the forum. Some rumors says he come back with his wife and wrote that in a angry moment BUT he doesn't make any declaration of come back.

Kara Nox: 'Absolutely Pissed -- A Must Read for Porn Insiders'

Kara writes on her blog:

Rent is due on Monday. Unfortunately for me, it looks like I'll be late. Why? Well, here's the deal:

My husband and I worked overtime getting our house ready for this shoot, which meant spending quite a bit of money that should be going towards rent. For my part, shoots have been few and too far between. In four years, I've done maybe a dozen titles. Some girls do that in two weeks. I work hard, I play by the rules, I spend two hours a day in the gym, I work on my tan, and I dedicate myself to my job. My husband, for his part, has logged uncountable hours on my publicity, my website, and making sure I'm sane. But for what?

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the porn industry. I think if college educated women knew how liberating it was, more of you would do it in a heartbeat. When I work it's a great feeling. It's a great feeling to know that, sometimes, the hard work pays off. But in moments like this I have to wonder how much it's worth continuing. Worse. I have to question the motives of someone like Will Hammer, the producer in question. I think he should be blacklisted, blackballed, and exposed for the fraud he is. The problem really is that he's not alone. This has happened not only to me, but my fellow sisters in this industry as well. The problem isn't while we're on set, it's whether we actually get there at all.

Tara writes: "Someone needs to tell this girl about Ifriends.com or Streammate.com where she can work part time as a cam girl and make consistent cash. It's ridiculous that she is waiting on one fat pay check from a shoot that seems shady to pay her rent."

I join the crowd of a dozen photographers outside the party -- Dr X, Martin, Tera (Prettyandfine.com), Duke Hunter... I feel outgunned with my medium-sized Nikon D100.

Around 9:45pm, I hear a familar voice calling me a "morose mother------." I turn around and see Monstar.

I see 95-year old actress Gloria Stewart (she played the old lady in the James Cameron 1997 movie Titanic) at the party.

Dean Sussman introduces me to Kirk Brown, who has just returned from his second tour of duty as a "certified protection specialist" to American engineers in Iraq. "The first time I went (April 2004) was after four Blackwater security contractors were killed in Falluja. I was a security contractor on quick reaction forces to protect the power plants being built for the reconstruction of Iraq.

"I'm a former Marine. I did eight years. I was in an elite unit.

"I'm a bodyguard by trade. I had over 600 hours of training by the Secret Service.

"One of those four guys who was killed was a friend of mine (Scott Helvenston). I was the bodyguard to the Japanese president of Sony in Mexico but I left because I thought I could make a difference in Iraq.

"The first trip I was on a quick reaction force. If anything happened, we'd get a call, leave our compound, and suppress [the enemy].

"Then I worked for another company [in Iraq] in 2004. I protected the project management personnel. They'd get the contracts to rebuild Iraq. I did that for three months. Came back for a few months and then went back for seven months.

"We were stationed outside of Fallujah, a very hostile area. We took a lot of hits, a lot of rockets, firefights.

"When the engineers wanted to go somewhere, I would be in charge of the convoy.

"The first time [in Iraq], I was expecting a lot worse. The second time, in the last few months, it got really hot.

"The Iraqis can't shoot straight.

"The news media aren't showing the good parts, the reconstruction parts. The water that is reflowing, the electricity we put together, the buildings we rebuilt. All they're showing is the bombs and the people getting killed."

Do you think we're winning?

"I think we're winning."

Xotic Studios Relocates

Gene Ross reports:

Xotic Studios is relocating.

I spoke to Josh, Nicki Hunter's husband. And contrary to some of the reports out there, the studio is not closing down. "We're moving the studio to a new location," says Josh. "We have temporarily closed. This is for a month. We didn't have a run in so much but the guy who's our landlord at the building we're at now- he owns the batting cages. And his business has been falling off big time now that his clients are realizing what we do on our side. He didn't ask us to leave or anything but I don't want to cause him problems. So we've got another building that's air conditioned and way bigger. It's kind of a good excuse, so we're going to be moving in that building."

The new location will be announced shortly but Josh says it's a quarter of a mile from the present Xotic Studios located on Nordhoff off of DeSoto.

Rusty Nails left Las Vegas because he was burglarized three times. For the past few months, he's been living in Jim South's Northridge rental house for porn stars. Last Saturday, he had a laptop (worth $4,000 including the software on it) was stolen. The suspect is porn star Cheyenne, who owes Jim South $1,200.

From Nashville, Kelsey Michaels, 23, came to Los Angeles July 28. She's already done three movies.

"When I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor when I grew up. I played doctor all the time."

A preacher's kid, Kelsey (stands 5'3") followed in her older sister's footsteps (they have a six-year-old brother) and became a stripper at age 18. At 20, she became an adult model.

Duke: "If you wanted to do porn, what took you so long to come to LA?"

Kelsey: "Getting the money to get out here. Nashville didn't pay as well to adult models. There's no porn [industry] in Nashville. Dancing you make $200-$300 a night, plus you're paying rent and everything."

Michaels (who lost her virginity at 15) went to a Pentacostal Christian Academy (all-girls school) for highschool. She was a tomboy who hung out with guys, often sneaking out of the house to go camping. Her older sister was a goody two-shoes.

"Talking was my main problem in school. I got paddled a lot. I was a straight-A student. My best subjects were Science and English. I'm hoping to go to business college but I'm going to wait to do it."

Duke: "Why did you become a dancer?"

Kelsey: "I like attention."

Kelsey says her older sister wants to come to LA to do porn. "She only does girl-girl and anal because she's a lesbian. She's married [to a woman]. She'll only do anal [with her wife].

"I know she'll do good here because I've done good here and she looks identical to me."

Duke: "How did you sisters get into [stripping]?"

Kelsey: "Our mom (who was 26 when she gave birth to Kelsey) did it when she was younger. It's a family thing. My parents got divorced [when Kelsey was 10] and my mom started dancing. She retired about three years ago."

Michaels' father (a pastor in Kentucky) doesn't know his daughters work as strippers and that Kelsey works in porn. "He thinks I work in a factory."

Kelsey's manager/pimp, a black guy, lives in Las Vegas, and takes much of her money (to Kelsey's distress).

Kelsey won't do anal or interracial. "I'm from the South."

Erin Moore is not wearing a bra. I'm scandalized. I fear that we're defining deviancy down at a time when we should be raising moral standards, not lowering the.

Erin: "I'm a contract girl (for Blacksonblondes.com, gloryhole.com, springthomas.com). I'm exclusive for interracial boy-girl. They changed my name to Ruth Blackwell."

Tia Brodie: "I did a photoshoot years ago for a site called poshtotty. They called me Lucinda Compton Burnett."

It's Tia's sixth anniversary on Sunday but they haven't been together in five years ago.

Erin Moore: "I hung out with Kris [Slater] all weekend and then I brought [Jim South] Junior here tonight. I'm such a player. Don't put that in there."

Tia squeals: "He will."

Erin: "Please don't. It will get me in trouble."

Duke: "Why won't you settle down with one man and be faithful to him?"

Erin giggles. "Being faithful is overrated."

Tia says she's going to miss Rusty Nails when she returns to Old Blighty. They've been having non-stop sex for six weeks. "Not just that, but we've formed a good friendship and working relationship."

I ask Erin: "Who's better in bed? Junior or Kris Slater?"

She giggles but won't answer. Then she goes into a sing-song: "I'm wasting your tape because you're asking me questions I won't answer."

Karaoke co-host Kristen tells Sardo's owner Seymour Satin that she got 100% on her latest Chemistry test. She's on her way to nursing school.

Spotted Tuesday lunch at the Marmalade restaurant in Calabassas - some junior members of the Australian Porn Mafia, Ron Levi, Greg Clayman (Video Secrets), Bruce B (from Webquest).

I chat with Kevin Blatt and his girlfriend Ria who complains that every guy inside touched her ass.

Ron Jeremy is supposed to come with Charlene Tilton. (Ron arrives after I leave. I don't know about Charlene.)

Serena Marcus and Mitch get into a friendly fight in the parking lot. She spits at him. I realize it is time to go home.

James Martin writes on PSK Club:

psk was better before the 10 dollar cover for everyone. it used to be 10 dollars per single guys - and you got in free if you brought your lady. the line, plus the cover, plus drinks is not worth shlepping all the way to sardo's.

Wankus responds:

It was also better before a bunch of whiney, complaining lookeloos showed up to oogle at the babes, spend no money on drinks and make the big stars uncomfortable...but hey, when you have that many hot babes in one place, I guess it's to be expected.

I always believed that the cover was TOO CHEAP! I think it should be "BRING A BABE, GET IN FREE...NO BABE, $100 DOLLARS COVER." That means, guys are either NOT going to come in...oh dear, how tragic....or they're going to bring a chick...kewl...or in rare exception, they're going to pay the fee and give me, the host, a higher drink tab! :)

Do us all a favor james. Realize that PSKclub wasn't designed for you. The reason it is so special is because it was put together for "ADULT INDUSTRY" people so that we could all have a night to hang out and bond. Because Sardos is a public place, you are given a very rare priveledge to hang with some big named stars while everyone has a good time. If you don't like coming, don't. But either way, no one really cares about your opinion on the subject.

.......

I didn't know they were charging females. My bad. But, then again, it's not my club. That's a chat you should have with Seymour. I'm guessing it was probably a sexist thing. They had to charge both sexes to avoid legal issues...but hey, I don't know. I just miss the MOSTLY babes nights. Two weeks ago it was 80% female and most of us had the time of our lives. Last week was 80% male and I was pissed off, over it and ready to end the event for good.

That was the beauty of PSKclub from the early days. Unlike most porn events, it was minimal sword fights. Unfortunately, no disrespect to porn fans, the night was not intended to spend time with the locals...it was a bunch of porn people who just wanted to hang out. Hopefully it becomes industry dominant again soon so we can still have a fun outlet to party and bond without feeling like we're working.

Gram Ponante reports:

Wankus was angry for reasons undisclosed, Robyn announced she'd fallen in love with an aircraft mechanic over the Internet, and would no longer pursue Lurk Ford, who was chastised for not monetizing his paparazzadankadoo shots on his website by the slightly-otherworldly owner of prettyandfine.com, Steve Banan remained unmolested at a booth, parking was limited, "Baby Got Back" was sung again, Roy Karch chided me for not keeping up with my Roy Karch Film of the Week Club selections, Flower Tucci was wearing next to nothing but was on the other side of the room, and Tia Brodie, pictured here in our summer cottage in Trod-on-Pube, said she wouldn't be back until October.

Porn In The Woods

Did you, as a kid, find porn in the woods? I did, and I have noticed this is a worldwide phenomena. Why the porn in the woods? Where does the porn in the woods come from?

Cathy's Visit To Hustler

This reminds me of a visit I paid to Larry Flynt's offices several years ago, where Hustler editor Bruce David, touting the serious journalism Flynt supports, told me about the series of investigative articles the magazine had commissioned on the terrible situation of pollution-caused depleted sperm counts around the world. Wow, talk about a publishing empire committed to all aspects of a man's ejaculate. (I guess this was the porn mag's answer to those Lifetime breast cancer awareness campaigns.) But, as I couldn't help pointing out to David, wouldn't you then see the birth rate decrease as these sperm counts have been supposedly going down? Obviously, that hasn't happened; population has continued to grow. To his credit, David then asked if I'd like to write for Hustler, but that's a line I declined to cross.

Which AVN Writer Would You Most Want To Molest?

Mike Ramone writes:

A few years back, a female AVN writer went to a set to cover it and allegedly got some unwanted attention from one of the male performers that she considered sexual harassment. Just the other day, another female AVN writer went to another set to cover it and tells me she was allegedly groped by a male director (he knows who he is, so no need to embarrass him publicly, though if he denies the allegation, he might want to contact me). She's a big girl and shrugged it off...

Who's the girl? Who's the director?

Heidi Pike-Johnson writes:

Because I am being asked, no, it wasn't me this time. It has happened to me, though. I had my arm grabbed and my hand placed on the cock of a performer/director who had just finished using it inside a girl on one gonzo company's set. (God bless anti-bacterial wipes.) I've been asked for head more times than I can count. I consider all of that to be fear-based reactions to these men's own insecurities and I shrug it all off, remembering who I have to avoid in the future as I go. I'm sorry that another woman experienced this.

In the case of this female writer and from what I heard of this situation, I do feel that I think she could have handled herself in a less naive way and probably not had the incident happen to the degree that it did. Of course, what the director did was completely inappropriate but unfortunately, I can understand where the misunderstanding could have come from. Initiating any kind of physical contact--no matter how innocent it may be in the rest of society--with some of the guys in this industry is, in their eyes, an invitation to get groped. I wish I didn't feel this way about this incident but I do.

LFP's Head Of Production Marc Kramer Vs. Kimberly Kane And Her Boyfriend Jack The Zipper

Friday, July 31st. Marc Kramer was shooting a movie (starring Jessica Jaymes) at the Hustler studio. Kimberly Kane showed up to the set. She was not invited by Kramer. He didn't believe she had any business being at the studio.

Kramer asked her what she was doing there. She said she was there to talk to Haley Page who was in make-up. Kramer told Kimberly to leave the set.

A few hours later, Kimberly sent emails to LFP's head of sales saying Kramer was rude and abusive.

Marc notified his directors not to use her:

To all- You are not to use Kimberly Kane in any of your shows. If you decide to hire her, you will no longer direct for the company. Thank you. Marc

Kramer has been shooting movies for seven years (for Digital Playground, Zero Tolerance, Third Degree Films, Colossal Entertainment, Vivid, Tera Vision, Adam & Eve and CDI) and says he has a good reputation. He says he's never been fired.

I emailed Kramer for comment on the below emails. He had no comment.

I asked around the industry about Kramer. I was told he was tightly wound and combustible.

One source friendly to Kramer writes: "Kramer is blunt, but he's a man of his word. He hates bulls---. Jack the Zipper is a pretentious, whiny bulls--- artist whose panties are in a bunch because his porn-whore gf got put in her place. Go back to art school, Jack the Hack."

Kimberly Kane and her boyfriend Jack The Zipper sent out this mass email to porn directors and producers:

By now you've received a mass email from Marc Kramer attempting to block you from hiring Kimberly Kane. As many of you have worked with KK in the past on countless Hustler productions, I think you'd agree she's a top performer with a topnotch reputation. We're still shocked that Mr Kramer would choose to abuse his authority this way, and we think it's symptomatic of what we've all been putting up with in recent months with the current mgmt. We're also guessing you don't appreciate being intimidated and threatened in that email if you choose to exercise your right to hire KK. I'm betting Mr Flynt won't stand for it, and I plan to meet with him right away. We would appreciate any support you could give to KK, she's being harassed and her income is being threatened directly by a man with a very bad reputation for this kind of thing, basically for standing up for herself. Below is the letter I sent to Mr kramer to expose this situation.

On Friday, Jack The Zipper wrote Marc Kramer:

mr kramer apparently your lack of standards knows no bounds. for you to attempt to blacklist an established performer with a great reputation...who stars in most of Hustler's top movies over the last year..... for calling you on your unprofessional behavior towards her at the LFP soundstage on friday proves her point about you...don't you think....?

I'm going to take this problem to Mr Flynt personally as I have other issues to bring up with him about what we've been dealing with in your dept....and I also plan to contact the directors personally to explain what you're up to...you should also be aware that I'm contacting my attorney and will seek damages against you for any loss of wages that kk suffers as a result of your actions.

I hear you've been fired from a long list of companies for these kinds of manipulations....you represent what needs to be weeded out of this industry....and you should realize that unlike you...kimberly kane is a vital and very well respected professional in this business....and we have a lot of methods at our disposal to bring this out in the open... you're obviously no gentlemen...and now you've made it my business to expose this nonsense once and for all...I'll be happy to discuss this further with you in person....

KB Talks

8pm, Monday. By phone.

Duke: "What's going on between you and Dirty Danza?"

KB: "He owes me $1500 and my brother D$ $5000 from the Players Ball. He doesn't return calls.

"I just spent a great weekend with my girl [Ria Lynn, 20] and I'm heading up to LA to see her again."

Duke: "How's your penis?"

KB: "It's hurting.

"I'm not a popular guy this week. She told her agent Matt Bixel (did gay porn under the name Randy Blue) that she doesn't want to do boy-girl scenes anymore. Everybody thinks it's because of me. I told her, I don't give a ---- what you do. She said, 'No. I just don't want to do it anymore. I'd rather go to school.' I said, 'Wow. I really like you.' She's smart.

"That a chick would wake up one morning after meeting me and decide she didn't want to do boy-girl anymore, this is eerily reminiscent of the Holly Miles pigtails saga.

"Dude, when you have sex with a 20-year old like this, she's got me thinking crazy s---."

Duke: "Marriage?"

KB: "No. Not that crazy. I just like her. I'm driving up to see her right now. I went to Disneyland with her the other day and we spent two days in a hotel and never went to Disneyland.

"I might bring her to Porn Star Karaoke. I've got a new leash called 'KB's Bitch' and I think I might put it around her neck. She likes the leashes. See what I'm talking about? When you meet a 20-year old who likes anal, you don't let go of that too fast. And I've never even been a big fan of anal, but man! The girl's got me twisted.

"My pimp hand has rubbed off on her. She said that she showed up to her shoot this morning. [Her normal girl-girl fee is $700.] They wanted to me $600 and wanted to include anal.

"I told them -- PIMP (Put It In My Pocket). I want $800 or I'm out of here.

"Damn! She listens to me.

"She said, 'KB, it is all about the GAME (General Amount of Money Earned).' She's like my protege.

"My brother got back from two weeks in Australia. He was very disappointed. My brother seems to think that kangaroos and wallabies roam the streets freely. He said, 'Man, this city [Melbourne] looks like any major American city. I can't believe I traveled two days to get here and it feels like I'm in New York. I wanted to see koala bears. We went to the zoo and saw all that.'

"I took my new girlfriend to Gary Kremen's house. She said she was an actress. Gary said, 'Would I know you from anything? What movies have you been in?' She said, 'Straight to the Sphincter.' The look on his face was priceless.

"That's why they're doing reality shows of me. I'm entertaining.

"I left the door open in my garage last night. I guess when the chick was blowing me, I forgot to hit the garage door.

"I wake up and see the garage door is open. All of a sudden, I see something flying at me. I scream like a little girl. My next door neighbor has kids who are six and four. They come running over laughing at me and pick it up and it's a giant monarch butterfly. I'd never seen a butterfly this size in my life.

"KB's got some big s--- going on. You know when I'm talking about myself in third person, I've got big s--- going on. KB's hungry. KB talks."

Nikita Lea Interview

I've run into the nude models at parties. She's usually in the company of former LFP Video guy David Gorman.

As a child, Nikita wanted to be a teacher. By age 12, she wanted to be a model. "I used to read a lot of fashion magazines like Vogue or Elle or Seventeen.

"I wasn't tall enough [she's 5'4], so I knew that fashion was out of the question.

"I was going to Boise State University. There was a photographer looking to create a portfolio. He paid $25 an hour. We experimented and learned together.

"After college [she did not graduate], I kept doing it part-time along with a regular job. I moved to Portland, Oregon, and modeled part-time. Another model in the area suggested that I start a website. I put my own site together with her webmaster in August of 2002 and from there I started getting a lot of inquiries.

"I moved to LA in October 2003 and have been working fulltime as a model ever since."

What do you want to do when you stop modeling?

Nikita: "I've thought about getting into real estate. I have a lot of friends who are older, in their mid-30s, and married with kids, and they're still modeling. I should be able to do it for quite a while."

What do you like and dislike about modeling?

"I like the easy money. It's quick. It's easy work. A lot of it is fun.

"What I don't like about modeling is that there are a lot of shady people I have to deal with and a lot of bulls--- that I have to weed through. Emails that I get, I have to check people out and make sure they're legit.

"I get emails, 'Oh, you do bondage, can I tie you up and we can have some fun?' No, that's not exactly what happens in a photo shoot."

Nikita says she's never had plastic surgery.

Duke: "How has your family reacted to your website?"

Nikita: "I'm not broadcasting my website to them. I'm just not going to bring it up. Some people in my family have found it.

"I don't do porn. I've worked for Playboy TV. I tell my family that. That I go to the Playboy mansion."

The majority of Nikita's friends in LA are models.

Duke: "Are there any common personality characteristics of the mdoels you know?"

Nikita: "Ambitious. Always looking for work."

Do You Know Adam Glasser?

When I'm moving in the real world, and people find out I write about the porn industry, one of their most common questions is -- do I know Adam Glasser? All the civilians I've talked to about the star of Showtime's Family Business say he's cool. They want to know how rich he is. He may have surpassed Jenna Jameson for general popularity.

IRS Joins The Federal Government Crackdown On Porn?

Along with the rigorous revisions to the 2257 regulations (making sure porn performers are of legal age), and the April ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement) bust of Exotica-2000, porners tell me that the IRS is joining the battle against porn.

An additional reason that foreign talent without greencards can no longer work in America porn is that the IRS is paying closer attention to porn company payrolls.

It used to be that a foreign girl, say a Nikita Denise-type, could use a fake social security number when she fills out her 1099 tax form and get a check for her scenes. Or, the production company would pay her agent who would then pay the actress through his corporation. But agents, as of July 2005, are no longer doing this.

When the industry was more underground, a lot of people got paid in cash. These days, companies increasingly use payroll companies (which require authentic documentation) and talent typically get checks a week or two after working.

Most foreign porn talent come over on tourist visas and then stay for weeks and months to work illegally in America.

Several foreign porn girls, such as Holly Wellin and Luccia, have married Americans to begin the process of being able to work legally in the US. Just marrying an American doesn't do the trick. There's a lot more paperwork and interviews that one must go through.

Producer writes:

Foreign talent doesn't need a 'Greencard' ( permanent residence card ) per se to work in American porn. A working employment authorization card is enough, plus American IDs and SSN (Social Security Number), which as a foreigner you can only obtain if you successfully applied for an employment authorization and got a card issued by INS.

On your SSN card it will say "valid for work only with INS authorization," which is the EA. All sorts of VISAs ( Es and H1s mainly used by us porners ) as well as the 'adjustment of family status' can lead to the INS issuing an EA (Employment Authorization) card. VISAs, unlike Greencard, are issued by an embassy ABROAD. That's why people in porn still have them.

Paul Fishbein Blogs on 9 Films

James DiGiorgio comments:

I don't question whether there's a blurring of pornography and mainstream cinema going on these days. But I think the blur needs to be put into perspective: It ain't the porn people who are blurring the dividing line, it's the mainstream cinema people.

In my opinion, if the line between porn and mainstream ever becomes completely transparent, i.e., there ain't no line, most of the people in porn are gonna be unemployed and on the dole.

Think about it-- How come the people who are most comfortable with the genre aren't making the big mainstream crossover? How come these arthouse porn flicks aren't being directed by the likes of Michael Ninn, PT, Nic Andrews, Michael Raven and the other Wicked directors, or even JimmyD?

Why? I'll tell you why. Abilities aside, mainstream cinema is going to accept porn or porn-like films as a genre long before they're going to accept pornographers as legit filmmakers making such films.

Consul-2 reviews the film 9 Songs on imdb.com:

I armed myself with the kind of cold, intellectualized, high-culture glasses one uses to see relevant contemporary art. Most of the times it won't be neither an esthetically satisfactory experience nor a necessarily pleasant emotional experience but if we can see the point of the artist and if that point seems in resonance with one's curiosity and awareness of the world around, that will be good enough. From that somewhat minimalist expectations' level viewpoint, "Nine Songs" did the trick. I can see Michael Winterbottom's point. Why can a writer engage in sexual imagery with no restrictions and a film author can't do the same?

The comments section on AVN.com is wild. Adult Video News -- where the intellectual elite meet.

Internext and AVN Expo 2006 On The Same Dates

Both shows (Internext Jan 5-7, AEE Jan 5-8) are at the Venetian.

The official word from AVN is that it is better for the industry overall. People will be able to go back and forth between shows even though the shows are different.

The real story is that there were no dates available anywhere in town immediately after AEE and to run them consecutively; AVN would have to start Internext on Jan. 2. So rather than move the dates, AVN did the best they could. This arrangement of simultaneous shows may become permanent.

GFY thread Aly @ AVN explains

Webmaster writes:

I'm glad I was reading GFY.com when the news about Vegas in January hit. I just went and booked a room at Treasure Island, right across the street from the Venetian. You can get the cheapest for at TI for a bit over a $1000 for 4 days. I don't feel that they care about webmasters at all, because they should have gotten Internext booked immediately after the last one concluded. Internext is invaluable to webmasters, because you get the opportunity to put a face to a name and, most importantly, spend time with people to get a feel for their personalities, how they present themselves in real life, etc, before you do business with them. Online, its hard to do that and that is why so many people get scammed. Hopefully, this wretched scheduling is not permanent. It is simply not fair to the Internet half of the industry.

Derek From LADirectModels.com Takes Jim South To Lunch

Derek initiated the meeting. Porn's two leading talent agents had a respectful lunch a few days ago. The main item under discussion was the new 2257 regulations that prevent American porn companies from hiring foreigners as talent (unless the talent have a green card to work and reside in the U.S.).

Derek has been getting some of his foreign talent American IDs by taking them down to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) and getting them IDs. I don't know of any other talent agents who have followed Derek's lead in this regard as many are skeptical that it will circumvent the new regulations.

Derek has a lot more foreign talent on his roster than does World Modeling.

Monica Mayhem has returned to World.

"If 20 people email you, you'll get maybe eight," says Jim South. "Maybe six will say they'll come out if you get them a lot of work upfront before they get here. Two or three show up. My darling Sandra Shine is coming back with an American ID."

Starting July 1, World Modeling charges new talent a 10% fee. All the other agents charge talent a fee for getting them work in addition to charging producers about $100 per girl per scene.

Top 10 Ugliest American Porn Stars

My porno review writes:

I have met these porn stars in person. Some of them shouldn't be in porn period. Some of them look night and day compared to their videos. And some of them are just a little to heavy in real life. I don't understand if your job is to look good and have sex on camera that you can't eat right, work out, and maintain yourself. Some look like they are carrying kegs around their waste. Some have so much plastic surgery that they make Michael Jackson look normal. Some of these porn stars where once hot and now they are not!

Mypornoreview writes on ADT: "Attn: Porn stars...I'm looking for starlets to interview for www.mypornoreview.com. I'm based in so cal so we can do an interview face to face. Please contact me via my site."

Croy replies: "Face to face. No, this doesn't look suspicious at all."

Katja Kassin writes: "10 ugliest pornstars? You don't expect anybody to participate in your site after that?"

Mypornoreview replies:

Maybe they will hit the gym and start eating right so they [don't] look like pigs. These girls are in the public eye and are open to public criticism. If they don't like it or their friends don't, don't be in porn.

Yes unbiased honesty can be rude sometimes but it's a reality. I'm not trying to catch more flies. I'm trying to make these stars in the public aware what people think of them so they can work on looking their best instead of looking all torn up and fat as hell.

Have you met a European porn star in person? They are as hot as they are on film. It isn't night and day like some of the stars on my list. Without the 10 lbs of makeup and airbrushing you couldn't even recognize them.

Why in person? Because I'd like to record the conversation, shoot a video clip or take a few photos to put on the site. Something different then other adult news sites. Something more personable. I'm not asking these girls to come to my house.

Threesomebody writes on ADT: "Why are there so many girls listed with more than one agency?"

Where are the agencies for African-American males?

Kataboom writes on ADT:

onemodelplace is basically for amateur photographers & talent wanting to break into the biz. although they say that all the big model agencies use them, that is not the case. a photographer may use them if they are on the cheap to either add to a portfolio but big agencies like elite or willhelmina dont use them.

As far as talent goes - i would recommend it as a good starting place. be professional & list some professional photos not some webcam shots or shots done by your bro/sis. its also good because a lot of talented amateur photgraphers will use it & do an even exchange so the model can fill hers/his portfolio while the photographer fills his/her.
