Kara Mynor: 'I chose not to work with Skooby (Fresh Talent Management) anymore because he keeps us locked up in a cage when we stay in that apartment'

After finding Kara (last Tuesday) incapacitated from smoking crystal meth, Skooby of Fresh Talent Management took action (including defacing her picture on his website and putting the link to a meth mouth site).

Hillary Scott writes on ADT:

Skooby has an apt where out of town girls stay. He went over there one night to find Kara laying naked in the fetal position on the living room floor foaming at the mouth with meth paraphernalia laying around. Of course she has a shoot the next day, obviously he had to cancel. He told her she's done with his agency. He leaves, comes back the next day and she's gone. Went back to Ohio leaving all of her stuff here for whatever reason. Now she is calling random people in the industry crying and saying skooby stole all my stuff and he did this and he did that. She doesn't tell them it's because she owes him $600 in agency fees that she refuses to pay. skooby got f---ed over. He's owed $600 and she's trying to ruin his reputation and all he has is some whore clothes and mess at his apt from all the meth parties. Childish as it is, doing that to her picture on his website just makes him feel a little bit better I guess. Hopefully she cleans up her act. I think Kara has a really good look (unless the meth sores are already starting to show) she worked a lot when she was here. Expect a quite a few of RLD/PX releases.

Kara Mynor writes:

It's sad that the story Hilary said was mostly false. I am not missing. I have been calling skooby everyday for the past 6 days to get my things back. I traveled back home Tuesday to pick up more clothes since skooby refuses to give them back. Along with my laptop, makeup, and other personal items. I chose not to work with skooby anymore because he keeps us locked up in a cage when we stay in that apartment. I was in the apartment for 3 days straight, not able to leave or talk to anyone in this world except for him.

The insident on last Tuesday did happen. I will gladly admit that. It was the first time I had ever done that and I can honestly say I will never do it again. After being dehydrated for 3 days after the incident, I told myself "Never again". Some information Hilary has is wrong though. I was not laying naked in a fetal position on the living room floor. I was on the couch with a towel wrapped around me. I took a sleeping pill to help me fall asleep, I didn't pass out from the meth. Also, there was nothing around us.. And foaming at the mouth? When Bailey and a friend of ours had JUST put me in the shower to help me feel alright? I think we are also forgetting the fact that skooby smashed Bailey's computer against the floor. His temper is out-of-control. skooby did not kick me out of the agency. We went to Starbucks on that Saturday and talked about what was going on next week. Also, I did not have a shoot the next day. My shoot was on Thursday and it went very well!

People need friends. No matter where they are. Sometimes they just need someone to talk to. They need to get out. I was sitting in an apartment all alone- not even having the ability to leave. Unless I broke skooby's rules. And I did break his rules. I went out with some friends on Friday night. I was just sick of not being able to go out and be myself. I knew that I could lose skooby as an agent. I left at about 10pm. I was really fed up at this point that I shouldn't have to ask for permission to do anything and everything. I didn't need another father. So I made up my mind and told myself that I was going to find another agent. I went back the next day to the apartment, although it was in the afternoon, to pick up my things to find the apartment was locked. I tried calling skooby, to have him ignore my calls. I stayed with friends and in hotels hoping to get my things back. My phone charger was with these things.. So my cell phone went dead. I just called from the hotel room, left him messages either asking what time I could meet him or if he could leave the apartment unlocked. I gave him the hotel number and room number and I received no answer back. I traveled back to Ohio on Tuesday to pick up more clothes since I wasn't having any luck. I arrived back yesterday evening. I will be filing a police report and getting records of my phone statement from the hotels if possible and from my phone carrier so I can prove that I was calling to try to get my things back. So the next day, I was not gone. I also have my plane tickets to prove when I flew home.

skooby has $1,250 of my money. He never asked for an agency percentage- how could he if he wouldn't answer my calls? All he had to do was ask. He is intitled to the percentage. But he never requested anything. I have not spoke to him since Saturday of last week. I have called around to see if I could find his address so I could stop by and pick up my things. But he has a different address for the invoices than he lives at. I will be going to the police department today and filing a report. I have waited to long. When I was in Ohio, I wasn't sure when I was going to come back. I offered to pay the shipping and handling fees.

He's upset that I don't want him to represent me anymore. I told skooby I didn't want to work for him the beginning of July. Of course, knowing skooby- He starts screaming at me in the car, like he does about everything. A person can only take so much. skooby was a great agent at first. Then as time went by, I had to ask his permission to do everything.

I'm not too worried about my things. It can be replaced. The only thing I do want back in my laptop because I have pictures of me and my friends from home on there. And those are the only things that cannot be replaced.

But eh. Me and skooby agreed that mistakes happen. That people make mistakes. But I swore to him and Sammi that I had never done that before and I would never do it again. I would like to at least have a tiny bit control over my life. I have a father at home who can regulate if he needs to. What's wrong with having friends? I love my friends. I can't go 3 weeks without seeing anyone but people in the industry.. Who I am also not aloud to talk to. skooby flipped out because I didn't call him as SOON as I was finished shooting for Jimmy. I couldn't help the fact that I had cum dripping all over me and needed to jump in the shower ASAP.

Hillary Scott responds:

Kara, All I did was share skooby's side of the story. There is two sides of every story. You see in this game, the pimp must keep a strong hand. If not, us hoes would get out of control and start doing meth and hanging out with the wrong crowd. Trust me, skooby is the LEAST controlling pimp out there. If you stay at any of the other agents' houses you would know they have the same rules and them some, curfews and everything. You're young, you're in a new city and what could be considered a somewhat shady industry. You should appreciate a little protection.

When I first came out here, I had to deal with the same controlling bulls---, looking back I do appreciate it. You should really listen to the things he has to say, he has a lot of insight to this industry. He taught me the game good. Peeps know I'm good hoe. I show up on time and I'll give you the best scene in your movie. Once you show responsibility, he does back off. I'm genuinely sorry things worked out this way and I do hope for the best for the both of you. I really hope you weren't involved with the break in and robbery of skooby's apt last night.

Full-Frontal Photo Shoots

The doubts, fears, and very personal rewards of posing in the buff by Rachel Kramer Bussel:

The first time I posed nude was in a Park Slope kitchen with a woman I'd dated. And by posing, I mean for lesbian porn mag On Our Backs (the October/November 2000 issue). We boiled dildos on the stove and made out. She exhibited her thigh-harness strap-on and licked ice cream off my stomach. I left feeling surprisingly sexy and empowered, probably because I was told repeatedly that I had a great ass while being encouraged to bend over. A few years later, I bared my bod for my friend, indie porn maven Lux Nightmare, formerly of thatstrangegirl.com. Her easygoing manner relaxed me as I teased the camera with my zipper partly undone. She captured every step of the process as I slowly undressed.

Tim Kenneally Vs. Bruce David

The Hustler Tattler writes:

Everyone at LFP was stunned when Bruce David fired Managing Editor Tim Kenneally from Hustler last year (everyone except for Carolyn S-nclair who claims it never happened). An extraordinarily talented writer, Tim was THE engine that drove Hustler, and the magazine has been limping along ever since his departure.

These days Tim is the editor of Men's Edge, and in the ultimate switcharoo, he has hired several writers that Bruce fired from Hustler: Dan Kapelovitz, Giddle Partridge (former Hustler freelancer), Mike Albo, and Gus Mastrapa.

The verdict? Men's Edge blows Hustler out of the water. Men's Edge has Pamela Anderson on the cover, Hustler has its typical skank who looks like she's failed a few HIV tests (we’ll never know for sure because Hustler’s head of records Sean Berrios often misplaces the results).

Tim Kenneally's editorial is funnier and far longer than the few sentences Bruce David manages to sqeak out as Larry Flynt in the Publishers Statement. It’s mind-blowing to think that Bruce once wanted to charge Larry 500 dollars a pop for a few sentences such as "I love America!" Of course, that Bruce David scheme (like all of them) crashed and burned.

The articles in Men's Edge are so glaringly above Hustler, it’s embarrassing. Kapelovitz, Albo, and Partridge wipe the floor with Hustler's staff: former Dominos pizza deliverer Carolyn S-nclair, out of work sitcom bit player Keith Valcourt, and bloated trekkie Tom Farrell.

There are no naked chicks in Men's Edge, but their scantily clad hot ones sure beat Hustler's monthly meth addicts.

The success of Men's Edge is a damning indictment of Bruce David's idiocy. What other editor on the planet would fire his best writers only to have them snatched up by a competitor and then watch them beat his ass on the newsstand?

How much longer can Larry Flynt and Donna Hahner support Bruce's incompetence? Thanks to Bruce, Larry has to pay multiple staffs, the one working for him and the ones on the unemployment line. And for all of his underachieving, Bruce actually thinks he deserves an executive position on the tenth floor at LFP. Perhaps someone should tell Bruce, “Put down the crack pipe.”

Why does Bruce still have a job at LFP? Maybe he's right when he says, "Liz Flynt keeps Larry so doped up he doesn't know what's going on."

Donovan Phillips: 'My Ex-Wife Read this Blog'

Tonight my ex-wife informed me that she found my blog a few days ago and read most of it. I asked what she thought. She's very disappointed, particularly by the Luke Interview.

"Did you mean what you said in that interview?"

"Every word."

"Even the part about how you'd help our son get into this business?"

Playmate of the Year Promises

Peggy Wilkins wrote: " ... I have also heard that some Playmates like Terri Welles and Brande Roderick were promised PMOY even before they posed for their initial centerfolds. Terri said this on her website; and she also told me the whole story of her recruitment by Playboy personally..."

Victoria Zdrok's lawyer responds:

"I am curious where you heard about Brande being promised PMOY before she posed...."

I heard the same thing that Luke F-rd reported from another Playmate several years ago. Admittedly, the other Playmate was from the 2000 class, and thus could have been feeling "sour grapes" at Brande's winning the title. However, she said she learned this from a Playboy staff member; and I tend to believe her, because Terri Welles had told me earlier that she was promised the PMOY title (by Hef personally) as an inducement for her to pose for the centerfold.

So, Playboy clearly does make such promises, especially when Hef has a personal interest in the woman (as he did with Terri, and certainly with Brande).

Peggy also wrote: "I was under the impression that her involvement with Baywatch Hawaii made it quite awkward for her to be chosen as PMOY since she was living in Hawaii and essentially unable to fulfill promotional obligations because of that, and that the timely cancellation of her show made her available as a practical PMOY candidate and so she was only chosen as PMOY after the show was announced as cancelled. That didn't happen until very close to the end of the PMOY choice timeframe."

The promise would have been made in 1999, before Brande became involved with Baywatch Hawaii. Hef met Brande at a club in mid-1999; and shortly after that, she became one of his first "posse" members.

Given Playboy's usual lead time, she must have shot her April 2000 Playmate pictorial almost immediately after joining the "posse," which reinforces the idea that it was a quid pro quo. Her later getting the part in Baywatch Hawaii may have caused some concern to Playboy's promotion department; but it wouldn't have stopped Hef from following through on his promise, especially if he wanted to get Brande back in the posse.

As I recall, he was still assembling the 7-girl posse about the time the 2001 PMOY shoot would be scheduled.

Peggy also wrote: "I also believe that Brande had to test for PMOM just like every other Playmate, because I was told this by PEI staff."

Let's not be naive. Anyone officially connected to PEI would not tell you "Nah, she was picked because she was Hef's doxy at the time." If you published such a thing, he or she would soon be out the door; so they would adhere to the "party line" in dealing with Playboy fans.

Playboy has never publically acknowledged that ANY Playmate was picked because of her relationship to Hef. Yet, anyone who can add 2 + 2 knows that being in Hef's posse was a ticket to the centerfold for quite a number of the 2000-2002 Playmates. Their were several stories circulated on this List in 2001 to the effect that Tina Jordan (a posse member) did so poorly in her PM shoot that Playboy's photography staff did not want her as a centerfold. Instead, Hef paid for her to have more surgeries and to be reshot for her pictorial. Yet, no mention of that was ever made in the magazine, nor would anyone connected to Playboy admit to those facts.

"flawlesspear" wrote: "Brande never did 'any porn' before Playboy. She was in a few of the late night Cinemax movies, but that hardly constitues porn."

Before joining Hef's posse, Brande was a "Hard Body" model, who posed for several open-leg, near-"pink" pictorials, as well as some fairly explicit girl/girl videos and photos (tongue on or near the other girl's vagina, but no penetration). According to Hef, in his letter to Victoria Zdrok of April 2000 (the same month as Brande's CF), these kinds of photos (akin to Danni's Hard Drive shots) DID constitute "porn."

Why Luke Returned To Porn Blogging

Mr Ford returned to The Hovel™ and with some trepidation set up his p-rn blog. The first thing he did was add a hit counter. Posting under the clever nom de guerre Duke Floored, thereby hiding his real identity from his friends, Torah study mates, and Jewish theology blog readers, he started posting about Kitten Natividad, Kendra Jade, et al., and the hits piled up. At first a hundred, and then a thousand hits per day. Soon Mr Ford had tens of thousands of visitors each day to his p-rn blog. And on the occasions when his real name was discovered, Horrid Boy would whip out his doctor's note, saying: "Don't worry, I'm a p-rn blogger for medical reasons only. It in no way reflects my true moral character."

AVN Publisher Tim Connelly Not In Rehab

Contrary to what Mike South and I published Monday, I've learned that Tim Connelly is not in rehab. Skippy writes: "I have learned from a very reliable source that Tim Connelly is not in rehab. I just heard that he is taking time off, nothing more. Maybe Fishbein was joking in order to give us all something to talk about. Maybe Fishbein secretly wants to be a publicist and decided to throw some spin out there."

Well, either way, Tim has had long-running problems with drugs such as cocaine. These problems have frequently spilled over into the way he does his job. After getting away with it for a couple of years, it looks like AVN is now forcing him to face the music.

Taylor Rain Owns l-keford.com

For years, a man can reap and sow and build up a website into a formidable force for cultural change. Then seasons change and his website is swept away. It passes through many owners and now it appears to be in the hands of porn girl Taylor Rain.

Whenever people Google his name, they are going to go first to the writings of the anal girl.

Taylor, is that really you writing l-keford.com? Did you really buy the site?

"yes it is! and no i did not buy. i won it in a bet. are u excited?"

Yes, I'm excited. I'm out of my mind. What was the bet?

"THE BET WAS THAT MY DOG WOULDNT BE ALIVE FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR. SO WHEN BANDIT WAS A YEAR AND A MONTH HE FINALLY SIGNED HIS WEBSITE TO ME! HOLLA!

"YOUR NOT EXCITED. U ARE JOKING! ITS FUN FOR ME! KEEPS ME BUSY AND OUT OF TROUBLE! HOLLA!"

Soopergriz writes on XPT: "Actually, I think the site is much improved, at least it's far less annoying. I love the pics of Taylor sitting next to the computer with a 3 foot high bong at her elbow. Just like Bob Woodward."

Smelly Monkey writes on XPT:

It's just wrong for it to go down in the hands of taylor rain who has the depth and versatility of a botoxed forehead. I doubt it would take much for Taylor to rid herself of the site after running out of things to say and post 3 weeks in. If Jeff gets Ashley Blue rims he should at least help me acquire what is the monkey's destiny, to at one stage, for some time, at least once run the once mighty l-keford.com. I won't be as good as luke, but I won't be worse then Fayner/Taylor Rain who has turned it into a dog shrine and poorly constructed 80's stoner rap site. In fact I'll put my ego out on the line here in my own cage. Who would you rather run l-keford.com? Poll time.

Bad Girls

Director Bill Day writes:

I'm making a film called BAD GIRLS. Its about the attempts of Tyler Cash and Jimmy D to start a modeling agency called BAD GIRLS. Heather is a former Bad Girl gone Good Girl who appears at the agency in need of pictures for her web page. Jimmy tries to get her back into porn and Heather tries to get Jimmy to go to church. Outcome to be determined.

I really like Heather and think she is going to change some people's lives. I followed her and her crew out to strip club for what I call "Lap Gospel." She is very determined and unwavering in her mission. She's part of the area code 951 phenomena... same area code as xxxchurch.

JC’s Girls Use Pretty Persuasion

RIVERSIDE, Calif.-- JC’s Girls Girls Girls, a website launched this week as part of an independent Christian ministry for women in the adult industry, uses a design typical of softcore porn sites to attract congregants.

“We don’t think it’s a sin to be pretty,” JC’s Girls founder Heather Veitch told XBiz. Veitch, a former stripper and softcore performer, appears on the site with a bustier, Bible and crucifix. Two other ministry leaders appear in similar glamour poses.

Jordan Fleiss - Big No No?

I call Jordan Thursday afternoon about this negative review of her on PornStarPerformance.com.

She calls me back at 10:53pm. She has a different story than the one Yuri presents.

Jordan: "I was ok with everybody but this one guy Ior or Nigor. He brought us the car we were using for the pick-up scene. I started to introduce myself and before I could even say my name, he started disrespecting me. He had this look and tone of condescension. I pulled Yuri aside to talk about it. He told me to shrug it off.

"We went to do a three-line dialogue. We rehearsed it for about an hour. The guy I was to work with was Jerry, who has a thick [European] accent. He wasn't flowing with the dialogue so well. The lines were: 'Hi, how are you? How are you doing today? How can I service you?'

"They pulled the car up 12 times [and the scene was not going right]. I was going, guys, what's going on? First, it's the internet. Second, it's three lines of dialogue.

"Ior kept making these little comments and looks. He was very condescending and old world Russian."

Did Rose drop you?

"Yeah. She called me this morning asking what had happened. I told her straight up. I've had two problems with her. They were both internet things (the other one was Jimmy Lifestyles)."

Were you drinking alcohol Wednesday night?

"I had one beer and I didn't even have a chance to finish it. I like to drink a decent amount but I don't like to be drunk. Beer to me is like a stick of gum. I try to relax. This guy Ior was on my nerves. It seemed like an unorganized production from the start."

Did you throw the beer bottle and cut Jerry's foot?

"That is completely news to me. Yeah, I did the throw beer bottle. I didn't throw it at the guy. I was not trying to go to jail. I threw it on the ground because I was exceedingly pissed because Ior called me a cunt.

"We were trying to come to a resolution. All I wanted was for Ior to leave the set. I wasn't pissed. I wasn't flipping out. I wanted to do the scene.

"If it cut Jerry, that's news to me. I didn't see any blood or hear any ow! He was wearing sneakers. I saw Jerry before I left. I apologized to him for the inconvenience of the situation."

A person at Redd Rose Talent Management emailed me back: "I had a bad experience with her and another poducer as well who will also be posting a reply to that message on pornstarperformance and i thought she just had a bad day so I gave her another chance but then another incident and then this I had to let her go."

Yuri (On the J Productions) writes on PornStarPerformance.com:

I do not recommend booking Jordan. I'm on very good terms with Redd Rose Talent Management and intend to continue working with Rose, however my experience at last night's shoot was not acceptable. From the start when I picked her up (she doesn't have a car), I noticed this girl was a bit bitchy but I managed to maintain myself professional, stay calm and keep my mouth shut. Once we arrived to the set things were going quite well until she got into it with one of the producers. Decided to go get drunk with a few Hispanic guys across the street while I was taking care of some paper work at the location. Came back drunk, continued to yell at everyone including myself making up things such as "you guys are so disrespectful" "i cant believe this is taking so long" "how about you not worry about the dialog and make a good sex scene" "so unprofessional" etc...At that point it started turning funny to me. I would respond calmly with a smirk on my face with "how about you just cooperate, do what we tell you and give me a good performance"....Bottom line, she went off again and an hour hasn't even gone by. It was getting dark and she had a glass beer bottle in her hand which I told her to throw away before I would have to cancel the shoot. Acting very childish and the immature 20 year old she is, she threw the glass beer bottle towards my car (luckily not hitting it) and cut the male talent's foot. His name is Jerry and LA Direct reps him. Great agency as well, work with Derek a lot and will continue to. Jerry got pissed off and started to complain. I apologized and told everybody that the shoot is canceled and time to go home because it was too late to get a replacement. Jordan started going crazy again, started to make phone calls, threatened me, etc..She wanted a kill fee -- "that is funny but I don't think so" i responded. She put me on the line with Rose (Redd Rose Talent Mgmt) at approx. 11:30pm and Rose apologized several times and promised that this would never happen again and told me that it wasn't the first time she's had a complaint about Jordan. Rose gave Jordan the "boot" the following morning, took her pictures off of her website and no longer represents her. Don't get Jordan! She talks way too much, She's way too picky and has way too many personal issues to deal with.

JMT: 'What you should be doing instead of cut-and-pasting Amazon.com book reviews'

He writes:

Have you looked at your former namesake site (l-keford.com) lately? It is now ostensibly owned and edited by marijuana & sodomy enthusiast Taylor Rain. Luke, you are no kind of Jew at all if you can't figure out a way to con this little stoner into giving you your name back. I suggest that you immediately register the domain taylormuthaf---inrain.com (it is available; some dirty Frog is squatting on tmfr.com, but the registration is set to lapse in February - mark your calendar), then begin insinuating yourself into TMFR's life in any way possible. The more time you spend with her, the sooner you will catch her when her state of narcosis is such that your proposal of a straight-across swap of lf.com for t...rain.com will strike her as eminently sensible, just, and appropriate. If she is unexpectedly resistant, sweeten the deal with a few shiny dog chew-toys for Bandit (carry these with you in the van at all times for this eventuality).

Trent Tesoro's Girlfriend Joey, 22, Enters Porn

I call Trent Thursday afternoon. "It's been three months. We're really great. I haven't felt like this in a long time. She saw me doing it. A lot of my friends are like, 'Are you going to let her do that?'

"What am I going to do? The industry has been really good to me. She came to me and said she wanted to do it. She was a dancer. It wasn't working out. Her club went from topless to bikini. She didn't want to go to a dirty club. At least it's [porn] honest. She's never been in any sort of denial about what she is. She's always done what she wanted to do. She's like a guy in that way. We're like two peas in a pod.

Thank You Jenna For Sharing Your Amazing Story

Honeyfairie writes on Amazon.com:

Jenna Jameson is such an amazingly powerful presence, and she proves herself as such in this incredible very intriguing book. I have not been able to find alot that inspires me, but this book has been an enormous inspiration to me. I respect that she has made choices according to what she wants, not what others want. She has shown herself to be such an incredibly strong person, and successful in whatever she puts her mind to. It is an amazing inspiration to read about her life, and how she pulled through after experiencing rape, drug addictions, abuse, and heartache from break-ups, and the fading of friendships with people she truly loved. It kind of reinstates the belief that bad things happen to you for a reason, you can learn from them and never should never give up. I would definitely reccomend this book to any one who needs motivation to get out of bed and keep going, no matter what life throws at you. Jenna is a perfect example that you are responsible to make yourself happy, noone else will do it for you. This is a excellent biography on an extremely brilliant business mind, who happens to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. Thank you Jenna for sharing your amazing story.

Joel Saxton writes:

When I think of the great literary figures of our time, I think of Hemingway, Steinbeck, and now, of course, Jameson. This may sound rather unbelievable, but you will believe it once you begin turning the pages of this deep and astoundingly intelligent opus. To be sure, HTMLLAPS is worthy of literary acclaim. As many artistic critics have already noted, Jameson's on-screen improvisational skills rivaled that of the great jazz musicians of the 20th century. Her sense of nuance, ebb, flow, and rhythm are uncanny and clearly god-given. Incredibly, the same holds true with her writing skills. Featuring page after page of erudite revelations, HTMLLAPS's profundity approaches Nietzschean proportions, and is a welcome and refreshing change from the poor taste and decaying aesthetic standards of today's literary world.

M.E. Grant writes:

I can sum up her life in a few lines.

1. She had a troubled childhood. Daddy ignored her.
2. She met the wrong man and stayed in the relationship for years.
3. She stripped.
4. She developed a drug habit but beat it because she was strong.
5. She entered porn.
6. She met many other wrong men and stayed in the relationships way too long.
7. She developed another drug addiction (where was that strength?) and beat it.
8. She made tons of money.
9. She met the right man (although when the relationship sours I'm sure future reprints will paint him as equally flawed) and builds her adult empire.
10. Her family returns to mooch off her...but there's a lot of "love" there.

Llamas writes:

Jenna was raped. And like ALL women who have been raped, she turned to meth, porn, and letting 300 lb. carpet salesmen and drunk frat boys shove one dollar bills in her buttcrack. Totally a triumph of the human spirit, man. And I totally like how Amazon's own review says the book ends on a "family values" kinda theme. I guess spending the better part of a decade coated in reproductive fluid must make you want to actually reproduce! Who knew, right? It's almost like a Lifetime movie, except with breast implants and Peter North.

S. Benn writes:

I could not help but feel somewhat depressed after reading this book. I found her life story to mirror what I have always thought a porn stars life would be - sad and empty. As much fame and attention Jenna craves, in the whole scheme of things, she has few people who truly love and care for her. All the so-called "Stars" and every day people she meets only want one thing from her and it is not her pleasant personality. She was and still is being degraded and looked down upon, yet she tries to expound upon how she did things her own way in the porn world. Dignity and respect are two things lacking in Jenna's life. How sad.

Move over, Dostoevsky! Here Come Porn Memoirs

Jenna Jameson's book is the best of its kind. I found it an absorbing read, though I wish she had been more detailed about her life in porn and named more names. Co-author Neil Strauss did a terrific job. Even though it is his writing, the book is pure Jenna. "Jameson's best-seller is as high-strutting as its star's show-horse personna," writes James Wolcott.

Chi Chi LaRue's memoir is excellent. The rest of the porn memoirs are mediocre at best (the worst include ones by Linda Lovelace, Traci Lords, Christy Canyon, John Holmes (Porn King)).

Christy did all her own writing (and Traci did most of her's, but was more heavily edited than Canyon).

I've selected some of Amazon.com reviews I found most interesting or amusing (they tend to be negative) of various porn memoirs.

Jenna Jameson:

Lloyd writes: "It's not clear what the point of this book is - to make money, to warn others about the lifestyle, to brag about all the big names Jenna has "been with" - perhaps all the above."

Jaewoo writes: "If you like National Enquirer, you will love this book. If you loved Jerry Spinger, then this book will continue where he left off. If you like porn and want to become a porn star, Jenna gives some excellent advice and insights into the porn industry."

Most of the 'stories' in this book have the ring ot some truth in them, but I can't help but think that the details have been exagerrated. Come on...her father sat around and did drugs with them, only to then say that the best drug is crank? Her father single-handedly shot over 60 Viet Cong? She was kidnapped by the local mafia while her father was a cop? I enjoyed the book...but I suggest you take it with a LARGE grain of salt.

I always thought Jenna was a skank, a mindless, weird noise-making life support system for a you know what. This book changed my mind, she is a BUSINESS WOMAN, who so happens to do her business in different positions. I loved her frank candor, her honesty her descriptions and her resiliance to make a living at her craft and come out...ehem..on top. GO JENNA!

Jenna gets slammed repeatedly on Amazon.com for not doing interracial. GG writes:

It's funny that Jenna or, for that matter, the mainstream media that has been fawning over her all these years, never brings up the subject of how much she is hated by black porn buyers. Jenna Jameson, has never done interracial hardcore on video. Her company, Club Jenna, doesn't have any black male or female talent. Jenna Jameson is notorious in the adult film world as being known as queen of the "dodgers" (a porn term for women who refuse to do sex scenes with black men). Her excuses for "dodging" have varied over the years: From saying her father wouldn't like it, to blaming Vivid, the company she formerly was contrated with (in truth, Vivid is also notorious for not being interracial friendly), to moaning that it would hurt her career. Jenna should just flat out admit she is a bigot or otherwise has issues with black men. She needs to come clean on this matter.

Way Meister writes:

Possibly the worst thing a person can do is lie to themselves. Tricking others is bad, but tricking yourself is 100 times worse. Ms. Jameson is deceived and a deceiver.

Ms. Jameson was a neglected child who has never yet distanced herself from libertine, idiotic narcissism enough to reckon with the overall impact of porn on America. 600 pages but not a shred of objective wisdom, just Jenna Jenna Jenna.

Without her looks, she absolutely would not be taken seriously by anyone. Sadly, her lunatic push to take more porn (and herself) mainstream show an iresponsibility she may never overcome. American porn is full of deceptive images that can lead to severe errors in expectations and judgement about sex, espcially for developing young minds. "Love Line" is a sex commentary show (Dr. Drew and Adam) which repeatedly warns people how they must not believe a lot of what they may have seen in porn films, particularly regarding anal sex and multiple partner sex (gang bangs).

I actually favor legalizing prostitution, letting it be what it would be-a needed release for frustrated guys. But I wouldn't call it making love. And I hope to God that noone picks up Ms. Jameson's self-obsessive dark autobiography expecting to learn anything about making love. It's subtitled "a cautionary tale," but I would caution you not to waste your money.

Jameson is a whore, which I actually think she has a right to be. She just needs to own up to it.

Mathew writes:

True love is a beautiful spiritual energy shared by two beings. What porn stars do is make lust. Not love. They perform sexual acts, with someone who isnt their Husband/Wife, or Boyfriend/Girlfriend, etc, and they perform the sexual acts for money, much like a prostitute.

I'm sorry that Jenna Jameson was raped. But she has the choice to stay away from that slime-filled world of sex, lust, and disease.

Christy Canyon

Earl writes:

Please Ms. Canyon, Please.If she said it once in the book she said it 100 times. Oh poor me, mommy and daddy actually had other things going on in their lives and that is wrong, because you have to devote all your love and focus all your attention on me. I am reminded of a Border Collie who never stops begging for attention until the owner can't stand it any longer and gently banishes the dog to the back yard, if just for peace and quiet. Many people have had less than perfect parents, but very few use the fact as a crutch,or a reason for choices made.

John writes:

Wanting to sound like an authentic dumb porno girl, Ms. Canyon has cleverly placed misspellings and hilarious punctuation blunders throughout the book. Very effective!

Traci Lords:

Maggy writes on Amazon.com:

It seems so funny that everything bad in her life was always somebody else's fault. She takes responsibility for nothing she's done. There are alot of us out there who were molested and raped as children and didn't turn into pornstars at 15. I have a hard time seeing her as the victim she's so desperately trying to play. Don't bother reading this book unless you want to read 281 pages of "Poor Me". She should read Jenna Jamesons book to see how one takes responsibility for ones actions without blaming everyone but the woman in the mirror.

Words of Wisdom from Bruce David and Carolyn S-nclair

The Hustler Tattler writes:

With the help of present and former LFP staffers, here is a compiled list of memorable Bruce David and Carolyn S-nclair quotes:

"Rick, you better get your people in line!"
Bruce yelling at Art Director Rick Brenes after an Assistant Art Director dared to question Carolyn S-nclair.

"I am THE demographic for Hustler readers!"
Carolyn claiming that the average Hustler reader was a 20-something woman.

"If I were 20 years younger, I'd marry that girl!"
Senior citizen Bruce on 20-something Carolyn S-nclair.

"No one in Ireland has a career. I know this to be true."
Carolyn claiming Ireland has no professionals -- lawyers, doctors, or engineers.

"You're hooked into the Matrix. LFP is eatiing away your soul. Quit LFP, Quit your career and come to Ireland."
Carolyn in an overseas phone call in 2004 to an LFP staffer.

"I am the new Features Editor at LFP and I'll be much easier to work with than Mark Cromer was."
Carolyn on the phone in her LFP office in Beverly Hills.

"She's as cute as a button! And I want her name on the cover!"

Bruce overruling a LFP Art Director and placing Carolyn's picture with her article "An American Woman in Thailand" in the 2004 June issue. Carolyn's name would go on the cover again in future issues.

"Talent Coordinator? What talent? I think that's so funny. They should change her title (on the masthead) to pimp."
Carolyn on Hustler talent wrangler Angel DeFina.

"She doesn't like the fact that I was made Features Editor? Someone should tell her that you don't go from Copy Editor to Features Editor."
Carolyn on copy editor Valerie Valdez.

"She always shoots me dirty looks in the ladies room."
Carolyn on Barely Legal Editor Lisa Jenio

"...laughing and constantly smiling. They're typically Buddhists, which may explain why they seem so peaceful, loving, and content."
Carolyn writing (June 2004 issue, "An American Woman in Thailand") on why women sold into sexual slavery (at the ages of 9 and 10) in Thailand are so happy about it.

"Your jobs are secure."
Bruce lying to the editorial staff before firing Managing Editor Tim Kenneally.

"I want everyone to know that their jobs are secure."

"That's just gossip."
Carolyn S-nclair denying that Bruce lied and fired the editorial staff (while she was partying overseas).

"What in the hell was he thinking?"
Carolyn on Bruce for running Gord's bondage pics in the January 2005 issue.

"Can you fix this article for me? I'm stuck here in Ireland with an illiterate high school drop out."
Carolyn requesting help on an article. The illiterate high school drop out is her future husband.

"If you need any advice on marriage or men, I'm your girl."
Carolyn offering unsolicited maritial help.

"It was my Jerry Springer moment."
Carolyn recalling when she thought she might be pregnant, but didn't know who the dad might be because she was sleeping with two guys at the same time.

"Come on over to Thailand. I'll buy you a whore!"
Carolyn calling a LFP staffer from Thailand.

"I was really looking for a family to settle down with. Family is so deeply important to me."
Carolyn recalling (and revising) her overseas travels.

"Believe in psychics? I am psychic!"
Bruce reveals his alter ego.

"Cromer will be running this magazine and I'll be on the tenth floor."
Bruce predicts the future in August 2004.

James Wolcott Analyzes Porn Star Memoirs

He writes in the August issue of Vanity Fair (starting on page 240) about Raw Talent (by Jerry Butler), Traci Lords, Lights, Camera, Sex! (by Christy Canyon), How To Make Love Like A Porn Star (by Jenna Jameson), and The Other Hollywood (by Legs McNeil, Jennifer Osborn):

I have discovered the contours of a new genre of nonfiction, one that has yet to receive its cultural due and perhaps never will: the tawdry porn-star memoir.

Christy Canyon...is more forthright when she tags hostility as the driving force behind her decision to oil up for a soft-core magazine layout. "This was the ultimate 'f--- you' to the parents who cast me aside.... Daddy's little girl buck naked for the world to jack off to."

Wolcott notes that spelling and punctuation are not strengths of Canyon's book.

Three years as a porn thespian and you're a regular Gielgud, full of lore.

Female performers harbor their own existential dread: the revolting prospect of working with (worse, under) Ron Jeremy.

Reading these memoirs and teh collective testimonies in The Other Hollywood, I'm amazed that the casualty toll from drugs and AIDS isn't sky-higher, given the reckless and wanton ingestion on the part of nearly everyone testifying. Alcohol, cocaine, heroin, crack, and crystal meth blaze through porn workers' bodies, burning through nearly every dollar they make.

The reason the casualty toll isn't higher is that most porn stars do not have a drug or alcohol problem. What occupies the attention of mainstream reports about porn (including the book The Other Hollywood) is what is most sensational, not what is most typical.

Christy Canyon, whose career disgusted her parents, finally makes peace with dear old horny dad, reaching out to him as he lies in a medicated haze in a hospital bed. In returns, he asks if she knows porn star Nina Hartley. Yes, she's nice, Canyon says. "She has the nicest hind quarters I've ever seen," muses Dad before dropping off again into snoring dreamland. Father-daughter chats are different in porn.

Jerry Butler confessed in a revised edition of Raw Talent that he had returned to porn:

You see underpaid, overworked girls who are doing anal, and a lot of them are being coerced into it - nobody's actually being pistolwhipped -- people pistolwhip themselves -- they are victims of their own carelessness, and self-aggression, and excuses.

Wolcott writes:

Couple [Viagra] with anal sex's no longer being a specialty (as it was during the 70s) but the marauding norm, and the wear and tear on the body amounts to consensual rape. Porn actresses are getting more routinely roughed up than ever on-camera. Even oral sex has become invasive. One of the stronger trends in porn is the choking-gagging-throat-jamming of the actresses by these Viagra sluggers, and "money shots" culminating in semen swallowing, sometimes from multiple donors. The porn actress as sink drain. Or spitton.

Superstud: Or How I Became a 24-Year-Old Virgin

I arrive before 7pm for Wednesday night's LA Press Club party for author Paul Feig's new book.

I tell my friend Cathy: "Since I've met you, I've been seeing things I've never noticed before."

Cathy: "Like what?"

Luke: "Stop signs."

Cathy: "Where did that come from?"

Luke: "Naked Gun."

I thought my memoir, XXX-Communicated, was excruciatingly embarrassing but Feig put me to shame. He says he's slept with only three women (and not because he's religious) in his life (the average is six according to the 1994 University of Chicago study), that his first source of auto-erotic fervor was W magazine, and that he thought the place where he was supposed to insert himself into a woman was slightly below the navel.

A lot of people were curious about the reaction of Feig's wife to the reading. I think she was embarrassed.

I hear comedian Dave Chappelle might pull a Marlene Dietrich and withdraw from public life. He's not only stopped communicating with Comedy Central but also with his agents. He's financially set for life.

Retired journalist Anita Busch is desperately hoping for a conviction of Anthony Pellicano for harassing her. That way she can sue SBC (for allowing her phone to be tapped) and the LAPD (a rogue officer gave up her private info) and probably get at least a million dollar settlement from each organization.

Regarding the HIV case in Budapest

Alberto Rey writes:

We had a meeting last Friday at the lab (Hungarian AIM) in Budapest.

First of all I was surprised the by the small amount of people that was there! Seems like some people here in the industry doesn't feel really concerned about it!

We are trying to find out the performers who worked with the guy infected by the HIV virus in order to set up a first generation list and a second generation list. The guy was according the information we received working in straight porn, gay porn but also all forms of gay prostitution! He didn't work in the professional porn network here in Budapest.

The girls from the first generation list are not the pro girls we use to be working with. They belong the "amateur" porn. Nobody is supposed to work right now in Budapest for 3 weeks. Then everybody will be tested again with an ELISA test 4th generation. According the lab, the ELISA 4th generation test will be able to show a positive test in 3 weeks (?) I'll give some more info in 2 weeks...

Brooke Ashley Returns

Mark Kernes writes for AVN:

When we last spoke to Brooke several months ago, she was living in Texas and undergoing chemotherapy treatments to get rid of a hepatitis C infection. But on July 20, the day of the Powers shoot, she was giddy, feeling a bit better ... and much in love with her new boyfriend, Eddie Wood.

"Me and my boyfriend met recently through a Web site that puts together HIV-positive singles," she said. "We're both HIV-positive and both hep-C positive, and I'm on treatment now. It's a chemotherapy treatment; I've done six months and I have six months left, and I'm trying to clear the hepatitis-C completely."

Jenna Jameson In Car Accident

She writes in her online diary:

August 9

just when I started to drive around solo again...BAM I get in a car accident!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the front of my BMW sheared off by some 17 year old kid that ran a red light! Unreal, I was making a Legal U-Turn on a green arrow when speed racer decided to blow a red and take out from wheel to wheel on my car! Of course he tried to blame me...good thing there were 2 witnesses that saw everything and blew the little brats game. I got really really really lucky and didn't get hurt. Obviously, my neck and back are a bit stiff and I was shaken up, but all is good. I will be back in the gym today getting stretched and keeping o track for the new BOD. I doubt that I will be driving again anytime in the near future. I just don't think i have good luck as a driver. I make an excellent nag back seat driver, hehehheee. I don't drive enough to feel comfortable behind the wheel. I am totally gun shy now; I know that's a bad thing. Jay wants me to only drive (when I drive again) the Rover or one of the big trucks, lol. I think I should start wearing a helmet as well, lol. Ok, off to start my day I go...Duane will be driving, lol.

August 11

I am soooore, between my trainer shredding me in the gym(did I say shredding, I meant mutilating)and the car accident, I am almost immobile. Wow, my body is wrecked, but I liek it in a sick way. I looove going to the gym, it is my new addiction. Abby is my trainer, he is an amazingly talented trainer and really really puts me through the grind. I think I am getting a bit agro because of the diet I am on. We all know I am a carb junky... I have cut down my carbs to a minimum. I have been a bit on the short tempered side...I lost it yesterday on Jay for no reason...I need to apologize. I really need to control myself a bit better. I think i will be better because i had some ice cream yesterday after dinner...heheheheee. I had to, we had sushi at Stingray and they have a great fried green tea ice cream dessert. Today we have to do voice over work for a 100 different things including my commentaries for the Devil and Miss Jones movie and Jenna Loves Pain. We launch our new wireless site, www.jennawireless.com , today. Its super cool... download me to you phone, how can you go wrong, lol. Ok, it's cardio time.

Serena Sinn No Longer

Serena writes:

Yep its true! Serena Sinn is no longer Serena Sinn. I've changed my name to my real name Lexi Bardot. I think it will suit my image much better as I am trying to build myself as a sort of anime/rockstar/pornchick persona. Isn't it crazy how we always have to define ourselves in someone else's terms?

Exotic Star Models has picked up on my crazy antics and is directing my career thus far. I am also going to appear on the reality show Miami Ink next Tuesday on TLC. And on subsequent episodes. Be the first to know. Anyways I still don't have my puppy yet, I'm not doing enough anal scenes. When I get back to LA, Sept 5th, my ass will be ready to start working for a new puppy dammit!

StripDown Magazine's Party Re-cap by the MONSTAR!

Last weeks StripDown magazine party went pretty damn well. I know i had a blast! The place was packed with hot chix.

Trina Michaels was there looking hot, Genesis Skye was there as well turning the sexy up. Tee Reel had lots of pics being taken of him.

I was actually good and only had two drinks which was pretty major being that since the XRCO a couple months back, with the exception of one drink with Eva & Keri, I have not drank AT ALL.

Behind The Music With Katie Lohman

A little birdy writes: "Katie Lohmann (her Playmate photos) never disclosed to Playboy that she had posed nude prior to being in Playboy. The photos were purchased by Hustler after she had appeared in Playboy and had published after her centerfold appearance. She left the mansion soon after and hasn't worked for Playboy in a number of years."

Homicide Charges Pending In Death Of Chloe Jones?

I write to Chloe's eldest sister Michelle: "I'm thinking that the only reason the autopsy could be so long delayed is not that it has not been completed, but because there are criminal charges that are going to be filed."

She replies 8/10/05: "You're absolutely right about the criminal charges. Homicide has a case number assigned to it as we speak. I will stand by this: There comes a day in time be it karma or the truth finally being told that everything eventually comes out in the wash. My sister will have her vengence eventually. True colors are going to come out in the end. It's in their hands (Houston PD) and we'll have to wait to see what transpires."

I arrive at 10:15pm. I ask Ryan Knox what's going on. He says it will be probably be a dead night. PSK flamed high on previous nights. It has to die down sometime.

There's only a small crowd inside. I overhear a tale of woe by a girl that her mother just Google'd her real name and found out she hangs out at Sardo's Tuesday nights for Porn Star Karaoke.

Kelsey Michaels has done five scenes in the week since I saw her last. Her older sister might fly in next week to go to work in porn.

Kelsey hangs out with Jersey Jaxin, who's just returned from the Dodgers game. Jersey's doing her first interracial scene Wednesday with Shane.

Genesis Skye, without make-up, doesn't want her picture taken. She says she's really sick. I jump away. She explains it's an ovarian cyst.

She gets up, hobbles over to the mike, and sings a couple of songs.

I spot a couple of beautiful blondes walking in. "The night is picking up," I say to myself and go photograph them while they drink.

Half an hour later, they head outside for a smoke and I talk to them for ten minutes.

The older one is Lauren Kain (from Michigan), a feature dancer who's done a dozen porn films. The younger one (looks about 19) is Tiffani DiGivanni (from New Mexico). Both are represented by the Tera Patrick Agency and they're sharing a hotel room during this trip to LA.

Lauren: "I come here to do movies. They always think we're [feature dancers] XXX porn stars anyway, so I might as well do it."

Tiffani: "I'm in a bidding war right now between Vivid, Wicked and Hustler. It depends on who offers me the most money."

In three months in porn, Tiffani (a real estate agent in New Mexico) has done two movies and a bunch of photo layouts (for Hustler etc).

As a kid, Tiffani dreamed about becoming a doctor. She was a good student in highschool. Then at 18, she got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. She got an AA degree.

Duke: "Do you want to be the next Jenna Jameson?"

Tiffani: "Better."

I chuckle.

Tiffani: "Better."

Duke: "What do you do in your spare time?"

Tiffani: "I have a daughter. She's 19 months. That's what I do in my spare time."

Tiffani was an A-cup before getting her implants in February and moving to a DD.

Lauren (who made her porn debut last August) shoots for Penthouse Video Thursday. She had sex with Lexington Steele Monday. She has also worked with Mandingo and Jack Napier. "I have a little experience working with large penises."

As a kid, Lauren wanted to become a cop. She got a degree in criminal justice but found there was too much paperwork in being a cop and boring driving.

Lauren worked as a cadet for the Wayne State Police Department.

Duke: "What's it like trying to have a relationship..."

Lauren: "You don't have relationships. I had a relationship with someone who roadied for me, but the reality is if you are going to have a relationship with someone who'll go on the road with you, they are not going to have a good job. You don't really want to be with them. It's a double edged sword. You want to be with someone who is smart and funny and good looking and has a great job, but they can't go on the road with you, so you're lonely. Perhaps if they had a job they could do while going on the road, such as computers."

As Kylie Ireland says, the new word for "suitcase pimp" is "webmaster."

I'm told that Lexxi Tyler has signed as the exclusive contract girl (for two years) for XHale Glass.

I take a few pictures of Sita, who's smoking in the corner outside Sardo's. She has a different stage name every time I see her. Tonight it is Eve Mayfair.

Eve, 25, moved to LA less than a year ago. Before that she was a dancer in San Francisco. She also worked as a secretary at the San Francisco Chronicle. Now she works as a dominatrix a couple of nights a week in a dungeon (in a private home) in Culver City. She's a submissive. Patrons like to play slave-and-master with her.

There doesn't seem to be anything definite about the rest of her schedule. She's not into college as she finds it hard to concentrate on one subject for long.

Eve's appeared in three porn movies. Her favorite director is Eon McKai.

Catching Up With Joanna Angel

I talked about Joanna Tuesday night with Sita aka Eve Mayfair. They were both in the Eon McKai movie Kill Girl Kill 3.

Sita said Joanna (5'2") only came up to her breasts.

We agreed that Joanna had a crackling personality.

I call Joanna at 6pm EST Wednesday. I hear a lot of noise in the background.

"I missed you," she says.

It's been ten days since we've spoken.

"I miss you too,"I say. "What are you doing now?"

"I don't know. Somebody needs me on the intro to their show, to, like, flash my boobs and say, 'Don't you want these?' or something. So, I'm about to do that."

"What show is this?" I ask.

"What's your show called again? Is it Nasty Hour or Naughty Hour?"

A man says "Naughty Hour."

Joanna: "It's on cable TV or something."

Luke: "This is exciting. The glamor, the prestige..."

Joanna giggles. "Crazy. I'm standing on the street corner of Sixth Avenue and something else in Manhattan."

Luke: "Sixth Avenue and what? I'll send all my readers there."

Joanna: "I can't tell you. Somewhere in Murray Hills.

"Uh oh, I'm getting another phone call. I have to go. It's another girl who's got to be on this show and I have to tell her where to go."

"Bye."

"Shall I call you back?"

"Yeah."

"I'll call you later."

From AINews.com:

"Making porn in a city where its damn near impossible to make porn certainly builds character," Joanna admits. "Sometimes I wanna take the easy way out and film in L.a. where everything is spacious and there is a never-ending pool of talent ready to shoot at any moment. But then it just wouldn't be BurningAngel anymore. I'm gonna keep shooting in NYC until I'm blacklisted from every rooftop in all five boroughs."

Morality in Media: Contrary to What NBC'S 'Dateline' May Think or Say, Promoting Hardcore Pornography with Porn Spam Is Not 'Legal'

I agree with MIM. It is not at all clear that hardcore porn is legal in the United States. It certainly isn't in some states. Because prosecutors have not gone after hardcore porn in a long time does not mean it is legal. The legality of porn in America is literally all over the map (depending on what area you are talking about, obscenity is decided by local standards).

SexyJobs.com Scams

This site seems replete with ringers (photos of fake girls posted just so sexyjobs.com can see who hits them up) and psuedo-producers looking for girls to pimp out. Email Luke if you have examples.
