Called Ashley Blue Friday Afternoon

Her answer message plays Christmas music. Then she says, "Whatever. I check my messages now, so I'm going to return all of them." She laughs.

Farrah pleads guilty to theft charges

New Jersey- A former porn queen accused of using her acting skills to impersonate real customers and cash thousands of dollars in checks from local banks has pleaded guilty to theft charges.

Joy Marquart, a once popular adult-movie figure known in the 1990s as "Farrah," admitted in state Superior Court in Hackensack last week that she used fake identification cards and bad checks to obtain more than $40,000 from banks in Emerson, Fair Lawn, Hackensack, Oradell and Ridgewood.

Money, Mobsters, Murder

The sordid tale of a GOP lobbyist's casino deal gone bad.

CONSIDER KIDAN'S MOTHER, Judy. Remarried to one Samuel "Sami" Shemtov, she lived with her husband in a stately home on Staten Island. Shemtov was a businessman with interests in New York and Miami. He had fought in the Israeli Army. Although Judy didn't know it, a substantial part of his fortune was in pornography and sex shops, including a chain of stores called "Sensations." ("It's very clean, very nice," Shemtov told the Miami Herald in 1995.)

One night in February 1993, a Mercury sedan sat outside the Shemtovs' house, the engine running. The driver, Chris Paciello, aka "Binger," aka Christian Ludwigsen, was a low-level associate of the Bonanno crime family. A few weeks earlier he had heard from a friend, Joe Eisenberg, who had heard from a former girlfriend, Carol--former wife of Sami Shemtov--that the pornographer kept thousands and perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars in a safe in his house. Shemtov had not told his second wife about the safe, where he kept the money he had made in his sleaze shops.

Corina Taylor Done With Porn?

It does not look like it. Though her profile says no interracial, she has done it in Service Animals 17 and Big Black Beef Stretches Little Pink Meat.

Lukeisback posts:

This must be so very meaningful to everyone in the Randall family. Congratulations. How proud you must feel. The whole world feels like a better place today. The sun is shining. I want to sing and dance and tell everyone I know.

Compared to AVN nominations, the war in Iraq just seems so insignificant.

Lexi Matthews Pregnant

She's getting married. pic pic pic

In her modelgig.com profile, she writes: "Currently seeking pregnant work - 5 months."

I met her over two years ago when she was living with Dig420 of Fetishbucks.

"Lexi seems to be doing very well and is in a good place mentally," says Dig. "She's a much nicer person than people think once you get to know her and turned out to be a good friend after all was said and done. I have to bail on this convo. GF is in the room and she gets hyper at any mention of Lexi."

Dig420 has been in a relationship for three years with an ex-stripper. He's moved to Las Vegas and bought a house with the money he saves on his taxes.

"Things are going very well," says Dig. "I've had a couple production companies shooting scenes non-stop for darkcavern and also for a new site I'm about to open, I have half ownership in a new content company extremefeeds.com, and we're going to open up xxxhost.com as soon as we can get it staffed."

Thank You Miss Randall

Wildtig2005 writes on Suze.net:

I used to subscribe to magazines like Hustler and Club in the days (early 80s and I remember most of the photosets were shot by Miss Suze Randall ) when the Boy/Girl pictorials were softcore and the cover price was $5. Then I stopped subscribing to them in the 90s. Then one day in early millenium, I went to a friend house and he had a copy of Hustler and I looked at it and WHOA!! Full Penetration; Money Shot!! My question is when did the magazines became hardcore for a miserly $7-8 and what brought the change? Was there a new law or something? Back in the 80s if I wanted hardcore, I better be ready to shell out $15 to $30 for one. Also, I noticed that some monthly magazines do show penetration but no money shot (like the Club line for instance) but their cover price is the same as the other publications. Can you please explain all this to me? Thank you Miss Randall.

Holly Randall replies:

Well once the internet came along, the magazines had some serious competition, so they started publishing hardcore shoots. I think around 1996 was when this happened.

As far as Club goes, I think there must be some rule in England about cum shots-- we can't even send them to the editors!

Piracy Raids

An informed source writes: "The IVI raid will turn out to be misguided as Robert Friedland had set up deals for these companies to sell the product as he did not pay back the loans he took out on the library. This is an attempt by current management to do anything possible to get product to distribute since they cannot pay for duplication themselves."

Will Ex-Gangster Kenny G. Get Whacked?

He writes on his HollywoodMafia blog:

People have written in about me getting whacked. Really what is there to worry about? They could, they might and if they do I will not know or care. I do have a request if they are able to get me. I would like to have Freebird and My Way played at my funeral. I also have this attack dog which protects me.

I had a picture of the Formosa Cafe up yesterday. This as I stated was Joe Sica's spot. He would hold court at a table there. Many deals went down there and around the building. Mickey Cohen and Bugsy both spent time there as well. There was even a special safe built into the place. The place is close by where Frankie Carbo lived when he was a top gun for the mob. Ronnie Rome the Bar room drunk can be found in bars close to the Formosa. Ronnie was a real tough guy back in the day, nobody was better with his fists than Ronnie... Well that one guy beat him up good.. Jumbo...Jimbo some Boston Brawler.

Speaking of Boston what happened to Tommy Sinapoli? Where is he now? Tommy was always a sport and he loves to drink. Tommy used to have a drink with Most Wanted criminal Whitey Bulger. So did Ronnie.. I wonder what is with the Seventh Veil Tony? I know he owns a strip club in Las Vegas. I was thinking of the Luchese Family in Los Angeles today. I know Gaspipe did a real number on the Family, but they have some good guys. Steve Crea is one, but I bet he does not want the top spot. Then there is Danny Cutia? Nights of turquoise Danny! I bet it is former California visitor Bowat! Bowat is a great guy with all the makings of a boss plus he has class. The other Luchese family go to guy in California Joey Abinanti is just not in the same league as the rest of the Family.

Lets see..... Little Al did his time.. His son did his and the rest who whacked out Anthony off Sunset are away. Wait Joey is not! Wow! I hope someone sends in a picture of him soon so I may post it online! Then we can all see the man Joey the Duplicator! All the old guys are dying off! Joey Hanson died in Mission Viejo last year. Russian Organized Crime is big in LA and in Las Vegas. I am on this new guy in Beverly Hills John Trouble or Johnny V Or Johnny M. I hear he is the man. I am sure he is better than Ori Spado who is still in Beverly Hills on Swall. Ori also used to hang with Haitian Jack, this guy is alleged to have shot Tupac in New York.

Not Exactly Open Source

J.R. Taylor writes in the New York Press:

A porn pariah on the right.

It was quite a production when the new superstar blog network Open Source Media had their big launch party last week in Manhattan. If you blew off the big event at the W Hotel, you were able to listen via an online feed. That’s what Luke... was doing in Los Angeles, further confirming his perpetual pariah status as the first guy kicked out of the new venture.

The irreverent Aussie built his reputation as a reckless investigative reporter of the porn scene, exposing the filthy underbelly that’s studiously ignored whenever a mainstream journalist writes about the industry. Ford’s current blog, however, is more of a celebration of his difficult life as an observant Jewish single guy in L.A...

Gene Ross Reports: Raid Confirmed, 20,000 pieces of JKP product recovered

Porn Valley: Acting on a tip, US Marshals raided the offices of DVD Concepts and IVI Monday afternoon. They found approximately 20,000 pieces of....Jill Kelly Productions product at DVD Concepts. According to sources, the raid began around noon and finished up around 10 at night. The confiscated pieces were then turned over to JKP.

Officials also seized masters for 77 titles which were on a silver disc.

A source at DVDConcepts emphatically denies any wrongdoing on the part of his company and says he has the contracts to prove that everything the company does is legitimate.

Porn Star Karaoke

Oliver Bone from Billy Glide's XXX Adventures company enjoys a good working relationship with the married Wendy Clearwater Oliver, Wendy Oliver, Wendy Oliver, Wendy Wendy Oliver, Wendy Oliver, Wendy Kelsey Michaels Kelsey Kelsey Brandon Iron, Hillary Scott Brandon, Hillary Brandon, Hillary Brandon, Hillary Brandon, Hillary Hillary Scott Hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary Kelsey Kelsey Jeremy Steele Jeremy Jeremy Sahara Knite, Barbara Summer Sahara, Barbara Sahara, Barbara Konnie Barbara smokes Barbara Barbara Barbara Sahara Sahara Sahara Barbara, friend, Sahara Barbara, friend, Sahara Barbara, Troy DeWalt Musician Sheldon Fisher Jr had five kids in two years Sheldon Shel's brother Barbara Barbara Barbara Barbara Barbara Barbara civilians civilians civilians civilian civilians Konnie Konnie Konnie Wankus and his musician friend Marcus Damian Girl, Konnie, Wankus Konnie, Wankus Girl, Konnie, Wankus Kelsey Kelsey Kelsey Hillary Scott Hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary Hillary Gram Ponante Reports

I arrive at 9:45pm and see Gram Ponante in conversation with publicist Harry Weiss.

I interview Hillary Scott. "I wanted to be so many different things," she says, "it changed every year when I was a kid. I was always very creative. I've always wanted to do photography and I've always wanted to be in entertainment."

She giggles repeatedly. "I wanted to be a movie star and here I am.

"I was a loner [in highschool]. I was friends with everybody. I wasn't popular but I wasn't hated. I was just there. I dressed between preppy and sklar. I wasn't outgoing."

Hillary lost her virginity at 16. She had one other male lover before she turned 18. "I was with a girl through most of highschool."

Luke: "Is having sex with [boyfriend] Brandon Irons like having sex with a woman?"

Hillary laughs hard. "Not in the slightest."

"My parents were confused that they had raised such a crazy little person. I didn't do stupid things but I was rebellious. I refused to accept that I had a curfew and I would not come home and I would not care. My mom would yell at me and it would have no effect on me. Even though I was gone, I was not doing stupid things. I was hanging out with friends. I didn't get into too much trouble.

"I was never in prison. I was arrested a few times for small little things that weren't even my fault. I was in a grocery store parking lot [at age 17] and I was backing up and I didn't see these two girls. They freaked out that I was going to hit them. They got in my face and did the shake the head thing and tried to start a fight. They got these wire cutters out of their car and they started chasing after me. I got out of the car and said, 'Look, bitch...'

"I called the police, who arrested all of us for being stupid teenagers in a parking lot.

"And then for possession of marijuana. Who cares? That was back in Illinois. It's so strict there. I got pulled over the other day on the highway in rushhour for not wearing my seatbelt. The [CHP officer] said, 'I smell weed.' I'm like, 'I'm sure you do. I pull out my pipe and give it to him. 'Yes, I'm a stoner. I smoke pot. I don't smoke in my car.' I told him what I did. He said, 'Hey, do you have a website?' I said, 'Not yet. I'm working on it.'

"He's like, 'Try not to keep it in your car next time.' He gave me pipe back. He didn't write me a ticket.

"I probably would've [slept] with him because he was cute, but he didn't ask me for my number.

"My seatbelt bothers my boobs with my boobjob."

What are your requirements for sleeping with a guy?

"When I'm not getting paid to do it? Any large cock. I won't accept anything else."

What was the fateful decision that put you on the road to pornography?

"I've fantasized about it since I was eleven and my mom put my cable in my room and I watched Cinemax late at night. I was so frustrated [that they wouldn't show penetration]. I fantasized about what it would be like to be naked and f--- in front of a whole crew of people."

What do you love and hate about your life now?

"I love the sex, money and attention. I love that it doesn't even seem like I have a job. It feels like I've been on vacation for the past year and all this money has appeared in my bank account. What I hate is that it is hard to maintain personal relationships. My definition of what a relationship is doesn't fit in with what I'm doing for a living."

Hillary was married for six months a couple of years ago. "My highschool sweetheart was a girl, so when I met this boy and fell in love with him, I thought, 'He must be the one.'

"I got the breast job because I wanted big titties. I think big titties are hot. I wanted cleavage. Before I was a 34B. Now I'm a 34D."

Hillary says she will never get a tattoo. Brandon says he wants to know the identity of every post on XXXPornTalk.com.

Scotty Schwartz walks by. He doesn't want to pose for a picture. Tara calls it "the weirdest celebrity encounter. I say The Toy (starring Scotty) when I was a kid. I thought he must have the coolest life."

A few months ago, this scary looking man covered with tattoos and piercings got in my face and demanded that I not take his picture because he was a mainstream actor and his Catholic publicist would freak out.

Each time I've returned to PSK, I've seen the guy. Each week, he seems a tad more relaxed. Tonight he poses for pictures with Barbara Summer.

I learn his name is Troy DeWalt. I've never heard of him. When I look him up on IMDB.com, I realize I've never seen any of his films.

Troy invokes his publicist a dozen times in five minutes. He says he explained to a Sardo's waitress who didn't recognize him that he was a mainstream actor. He says the next week she told him, "I looked you up on IMDB." He says she kissed his ass.

It must be amazing to have that kind of power over women.

Rob Spallone wants to make a movie called "Gooks With Spooks: Directed By A Cracker."

He's finally sold his KKK movie (Oliver, the German in a KKK outfit, was violated by a bunch of black women). "But they cut all the bad stuff out," says Rob.

A beautiful brunette waitress walks over and hands me Oliver Bone's card. Says he wants to buy me a drink. This is the first time this has happened to me in many a month. I order Sardo's best bottle of water.

Genesis Skye has been showing up on sets without her IDs and asking other companies to fax her IDs over. Genesis and her new husband put up a press release on AINews saying they were available for boy-girl for $1,200.

She lost her 1990 Honda Acura a few weeks ago.

Hank Rose Update

He writes me:

I've hooked up with major connections in Hollywood for my writing. Craigslist is a Godsend. Am the lead writer on an animated adult sitcom project. Sort of porn's answer to the Simpsons. Some characters based on real life. It hits, I will be doing my part to help smut cross over. Wish me luck, Luke.

Can you hook me up with Jeff Coldwater? We lost touch. Swear I saw him at a Target in Canoga Park a few months ago. Think he was buying a carpet or something. I take that as a omen we were meant to renew ties. To the faux charity cop crank calling me, I donate a JC cumshot right in the bitch's face.

Had a falling out because I got tired of Geoffrey nickle and diming me as a writer, which is now an obsolete job position in these days of 24/7 fast food E smut. I must confess that I miss the guy. He's one of few old school colleague contemporaries who had mainsteam directing talent wasted in the X arena.

I remember we had a filmic answer to Boogie Nights. We designed a awesome poster and Jeff went off to Cannes to look for financing to no avail. But now I got an up and coming producer who could probably work wonders with that publicity poster. Lost it, need another copy and don't wanna see it go to waste.

As for mob inflitration of porn, as long as sexuality is demonized by religious prude police, X will attract bad guys like moths to a flame. But we need more mob in this country. If US were infliltrated by black hats as you contend, there wouldn't have been a 9/11, we'd have control of our borders and pop culture wouldn't be dominated by evil-is-hip gangstas, grunge bohemians & wiggers.

AVN Reports Sharon Mitchell to Marry in S. Africa

"We will be wed close by, on November 29 through the 30th in a series of three marriage rituals by a Sangoma (Zulu Witch Doctor). The Sangoma will bless the rings, the land, individually raise our spiritual lineage, and then use some tinctures and medicines on our bodies."

Mitchell continued, “We will then make love to unite our spirits. At dawn on December 1st, on the day of the wedding, we will be blessed and united as a couple at sunrise. We will have a small, elegant ceremony at the gallery 181, (also on the land) in the afternoon, Moroccan Lamb and S A Champagne. Then have another night of bliss. This is a legal and binding marriage in the U.S. as we will also have a S A marriage officer present.”

Tony Malice writes: "I can't wait til one day when I fall madly and deeply in love and run off to the Dark Continent to get married. I know the first thing on my agenda would also be to drop a press release about my beautiful nuptials and honeymoon plan to thousands of chronically masturbating degenerates. It's the ultimate acknowledgement of true love."

Rob Black To Get The Reuben Sturman Awards At AVN Show

I wonder what Reuben would think of Rob?

Paul Fishbein says: "Reuben Sturman would have sent Rob Black money for his defense."

None of the industry's heavy-hitters have contributed to Black's defense -- not Larry Flynt, Steve Hirsch, Lenny Friedlander. I guess Black's defense is funded by his dad, as everything else was.

Mike South writes:

There is one particular award I have a huge beef with but Im gonna save it...The Sturman Award Giving that to a guy who has done his best to take down the industry with him is a slap in the face to Mr Sturman.

Porn Mafia Update

Informant writes:

I like Trez the guy works hard and plays hard, he sells those penis pumps and hey I remember him up at Rob King's place staying up all night. Ride the white line highway! Nicky the guy that is Joey's pal... Tony Ripe now he is the man.

The Contract Boy Who Cried

He was broke. He borrowed money from Rob Spallone. He became so terrified by Rob he started to cry. "As soon as he got with Jill Kelly, he got her to give him the money so he could pay Rob back."

The ex-gangster remembers: "I drove with [the stud] to Rob's Tuxford [Sunland] house [to pay Rob back]. XXX wouldn't even come to the gate. I said, 'Why? Rob's a good guy. He's my friend. I don't know what transpired.'

"XXX is as dumb as a box of rocks. Compared to Rob, XXX is a mental midget. Rob's a lot sharper than most people. He's streetsmart. Ask Rob if he didn't get a check from Jill Kelly."

Rob Spallone says this never happened. "XXX is a giant. I don't think he's afraid of too many people. I like that kid.

"Kenny G. is a punk. Kevin Beech called him a punk. He's a rat. He couldn't shake his mother down. The only ones he could shakedown were little porno girls. Little David Sturman told him to ---- himself."

He likes you. "Then he shouldn't have written about me. He wrote I'm a wannabe. I never wanted to be and I never will.

"He's in shape? He don't eat candy? He don't smoke? He looks like a gook mongaloid. He ain't my friend. Jim DiGiorgio once called him a punk at Gourmet Video. Call Jim up and find out. I think I met him through Jim. Jim didn't like him either."

The Animal In Hollywood

I talk to a friend of Anthony Fiato about the Animal's forthcoming book. "This new book has everything. He's brutal.

"Why is the question I get the most from my new blog if I know Ron Jeremy?

"I'm writing ten pages a day in my new book. I let it go about Butchie Peraino, Big Tony [Peraino, brother of Joe the Whale Peraino]. I did not know Butch Peraino [circa] 1986. I was a punk kid. Butch threatened a guy I knew, Vinny Rossi, who shot movies for me, along with Mark DiSalle, who made the movies Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Street Knight.

"Butch had it in his mind that Vinny Rossi owed him $50,000 and that if Vinny didn't pay, Butchie was going to shoot him.

"Vinny was about 50-years old. He called me crying. He said, 'I can't work for you anymore.' Vinny was making about $10,000 a month from me. I said, 'Butchie, I've never heard of him. F--- him. We'll shoot him.'

"I called some people. Fred Zimmerman and company. I had two kids in the car with guns. I said, 'If I come out and I give you the signal, then you blast Butchie. I'm going to send a message so I don't have to deal with these people in the porno business anymore.'

"I told Butchie, 'F--- you. Vinny's with me.' Big Tony was in the meeting. Butchie said, 'F--- you. If he's with you, then you owe me the $50,000.' I said, 'Butch, you're not worth $50,000. For a couple of thousand dollars, I could have you blasted and that's the end of it. If I walk out of this office now, you're done. It's over with you.'

"Big Tony made us hug. I ended up working with Butchie after that.

"But I go outside and my retarded friends who are high thought it was still on. I see them getting out of the car and I'm waving. They said, 'You didn't give us the signal.' I said, 'I was supposed to give you the signal to to shoot him.' They were going to get Tommy [Sinnopoli] and people who were my friends.

"Mark DiSalle went from being broke to owning a humongous house in Coldwater Canyon. Menahem Golan was going out of business. Mark pulled Menahem out of bankruptcy and walked away with a millions and moved to Seattle.

"Mark and Vinny made a movie called Defiance (a 1980 movie with pornographer Fred Lincoln).

"I'll be sending you papers about my arrest for dealing 10 kilos cocaine. I guess I was just a small drug dealer. Not bad for a 19-year old kid."

Bellamodels - The New NicisGirls.com

I believe Bellamodels is operated by Nici, who is now going by the name Mona and claims not to be Nici.

Nici moves from place to place, and has her servers off-shore. This makes it cost-prohibitive for law enforcement.

Nici is one of the smartest persons I've ever spoken to in the industry. She's very good at what she does. She's in the Steve Hirsch, Paul Fishbein class.

She's charismatic, attractive, great conversation, and thoroughly engaging. She's never worked as an escort or dominatrix or anything like that. She's just a smart Jewish girl who started out as a booker for Heidi Fleiss.

If Nici had maintained an office as Elena "Llana" Trochetchenkova of Exotica2000.com did, she'd be busted by now.

"Llana was bitchy, but fair. She always paid her bills," says a former associate. "I'm sure the girls miss her. SophiesDreamGirls picked up much of their business."

I no longer believe that Nici works with law enforcement.

Under the name Mona, she books girls to Dubai.

"Nici has kids screaming in the background," says a source. "How do you run such a dangerous business with kids and draw so much attention to yourself and endanger your family?"

The Nikki at TheGirlOfYourDreams.com is an entirely different person from Nici of NicisGirls.com.

Nici of Nicisgirls.com always gets money upfront and some of her clients and escorts claim that she did not pay them in full or refund money deposited to secure particular girls. That's what got some Arabs upset about 18-months ago and make them want to kill her (so Nici went into hiding and kept moving).

Many escort services are leery of sending girls to Arabs (whether in America or overseas) because they often mistreat women. Many escorts aren't the brightest and don't realize that Indians and Pakhistanis and Sephardic Jews are not Arabs.

An informed source says:

Anyone who gets into business with Nici of Nicisgirls is going to have problems. First - Nici has lots of problems that people don't know about her. Second - Nici has problems with Arabs. Third - Nici only looks out after herself.

It's amazing someone hasn't shaken her down.

"When these guys from Las Vegas such as Johnny Bronco came to Los Angeles and wanted to shakedown bookmakers, they were nuts," says a source. "Shakedown escort services. Show up to their door with an Ultimate Fighting Championship dude and demand money or their life. There was a guy named Johnny in Laurel Canyon that ran escorts. He was shook him down for $40,000. A big guy named Keith showed up at his door and smashed him over the head. 'We're here to kill you unless you give us money,' he said. Johnny paid.

"We were going to grab Nici but the cops/feds had bugged us and they knew and they stopped us.

"Nici has no partners with organized crime. She thinks she's smarter than that. I know people who were going to grab her but they could never lure her to [a good location]. Her mansion in Bakersfield was in a countryclub at the end of a cul de sac. Nici's brother lives in Newport Beach. He's a lawyer. An upstanding citizen. Not worth taking a chance with him.

"Nici is lucky."

A source says: "I heard Nici once worked at William Morris. I checked. My source said, 'Isn't she that madam chick? She never worked here.' The only affiliation anyone at William Morris has had with her is booking an escort."

Another source says:

Some of the girls on the BellaModels.com site have Playboy connections. Deanna Merryman is best known for banging some Nascar driver and then posing in Playboy two years ago. Doris Mar is an actual Playboy cover model and if you click on her photo, it expands to show her on the Playboy cover in which she appeared. I wonder if Playboy likes their copyright used like that. Iliana Fischer is a 2003 Cyber Girl of the Week. Jessica DiFeo has also modeled for Playboy. Illana Lesa (Illana Lesa is former Vivid girl Dayton) has appeared in Playboy Special Editions.

Jillian Sundeen is another cyber girl of the week and the profile picture used of her on the BellaModels.com site is from her Cyber Girl of the week Pictorial! Linn Thomas is a Playmate and Penthouse Pet. She made a girl/girl video with Victoria Zdrock a few years ago. Veronica Becerra is a well known import model and was Ms. Nevada 1997. Kyli Ryan is a Penthouse Pet.

Most interesting to me is that Natalia Cruz is mentioned on the right side. She's a former Penthouse Pet and is the newest Digital Playground contract girl! You ought to email Adella about that, because it looks really tacky for a current contract girl to be hooking so publicly.

Same thing with Krystal Steal being listed on that site as 'available'. She's the highest paid of all the Club Jenna girls and also feature dances. Does she really need the money that badly? I sense that Club Jenna wants to have a classy image and having the girl that Jenna wants to pass the baton onto being featured on an escort site is a step in the wrong direction.

As far as Chasey Lain and Amber Lynn being on that site, a guy would be crazy to pay anything more than $200/hr, because both those chicks look ridden hard and put away wet when you see them in person.

Adella at Digital Playground replies to my inquiry: "All of my experiences with these sites have [indicated that they are] fraudulent promotion. Digital Playground does not endorse illegal activity."

Whatever Happened To Ex-Gangster Ex-Pornographer Kenny Gallo?

Tabetha Stevens' ex-husband (half-Japanese, half-Italian) has changed his name and is going around with feds and cops. He's in fighting shape. He never eats junk food or smokes or drinks. He's writing HollywoodMafia.com with Anthony Fiato. He's working on a book.

"I don't know why Jimmy [DiGiorgio] didn't like me," says the ex-gangster. "I used to sit with him for hours at Sin City after work. I was working with Buck Adams. Jim is like a comedian. We'd sit there and laugh at Buck and Buck would be drunk on tequila. Buck would [screw up] and want Jim to fix [the film].

"There was this big fat girl who got Jim the editing job at Sin City. She had no chin. It went right into her neck.

"Tell people hello. Tell Jimmy and Rob hello. Tell people I'm fit and trim and feeling good."

James DiGiorgio remembers:

I remember the good ol' days. Kenny and I were real cool with each other... very friendly, we got along fine. he was one of the first guys i met when i first came into the biz which was around '93 or '94 and i was running sin city's post-production department. i was mostly editing buck adams flicks and i had some other editors cutting comps and other bullshit. kenny was hooked up with buck as his producer and he was, at the time, fairly tight with mickey blank who is the guy who brought me into the biz.

Funny how tabitha [Stevens] is so hooked up with wiseguys and i cast her in the first sopornos flick as -- what else? -- a mob chick. she wanted that role, really wanted to do it. at first, some vca contract chick... i forget who was supposed to do it, maybe stacy valentine, but she backed out cuz she thought spallone and i couldn't pull off the movie. tabitha heard about it and showed up really wanting into the flick. she played the role to the tee. she was great. and great to work with. and then, later, kenny married her.

The ex-gangster replies:

Jim was the only guy who knew how to really use the AVID. I hate Mickey Blank because he lies every time he opens his mouth. I am glad Jim has done well in the biz. That guy was cool and he worked real hard.

They Bust Internet Escort Services, Don't They?

They busted New York's Exotica-2000 on charges of tax evasion and money laundering. But the services in LA since Heidi Fleiss, such as NicisGirls.com, seem to have gone unmolested. Perhaps because these services do not book sex? They only book introductions and what happens between two consenting adults in the privacy of their own room is none of their business. Sometimes they book paraplegics, so no penile penetration is going on.

Would you live on Hooker Alley?

Kleenex writes on JustBlowMe:

Went to see a new appartment today as I gotta haul & move house next week . . bla bla I meet this real estate guy at the exact address he gave me on the phone . . turns out its one of the nastiest hooker back alleys in town.

The appartment is okay, but my new neighbor would be a 50 something Zsa Zsa Gabor clone who already calls me 'my sweetie' and does oral for 20 I had to wait outside for 10 minutes for the real estate dude to show, just trying to give that "I aint here for a Ho'" look!

Bottom line is . . I need a place BUT . . I might need a break from the sleaze if you catch my drift ? . . The red lights from the lanterns were literally shining through the main window onto the wall . . old guys in raincoats were looking through the window with scrunched up faces.

I just know that the freaks come out at night . . It really is a funny street, there is literally NOTHING other than hookers in windows and . . this apartment! I almost feel like moving in just to freak out my visitors . . I mean right opposite is this big African chick with cross eyes and a big dildo in her hand – it’s surreal.

Anyway, 1) Would YOU live on a hooker alley as a twisted kinda “life study” Just for the hell of it in a “live fast die young” type fashion?

2) Would YOU avoid anything to do with Pimps/Hookers and Junkies and just head for the green and mediocre pastures of The Burbs?

Rob Spallone Says He's Not Prejudiced

Rob calls at 5:15pm. "I've got more black friends than white friends -- Tony Eveready, Mr Marcus, Devlin Weed, Byron Long and lots of black girls.

"This guy made no money in the porno business. He robbed as many girls as he could. Now he's trying to tell the cops that he has all this dirt on the Mob. There is no Mob. And the cops are paying him to get information. That's how he makes his money now.

"I've met plenty of wiseguys in my life. I never met any out here. Kenny was the only wiseguy I met and I only know that because he told me and showed me a picture of him with a wiseguy.

"You're no rat. You'll take it like a man when you're time comes, right?"

We laugh.

The ex-gangster says: "If I got alimony from Tabetha Stevens, I'd post that s--- up on my website. That would be funny. I wish. Tabetha doesn't have any money. That chick left me $150,000 in debt. She ran up a $2,700 bill on my cell phone number, which I've had for years. People call me on it when they get out of jail. Alimony would mean that she got a lawyer and went to court. All I wanted to do was get divorce. She wanted to get remarried. I had to chase her down and get her to sign the papers and then refile for divorce. Jeez, let me go."

The ex-gangster escorted Dayton around for a couple of years but now they hate each other.

Where Does The Mafia Control Porn?

I'm not saying that all the people I'm about to name are made guys. I'm using them as an illustration of the choke hold that the Mob has historically held on porn.

There are three major channels through which every major pornographer must pass -- duplication (Vinnie DeStephano, Joseph Abinanti, etc), boxcover work (Michael Warner (Great Western Litho) and Frank Barbarino (FB Productions)) and distribution (General Video of America). Unless you get your movie duped by Vinnie or Joey or their friends, and your boxes done by Michael or Frank, it's hard to get your movie distributed by a heavy such as General Video of America and into the big chains of sex shops owned by such kindly gentlemen as Edward Wedelstedt and Kenneth Guarino.

At least, this was true until the past few years.

James DiGiorgio writes: "lukey, you're out to lunch on your "three channels" theory. first off, the duplicators are mostly acting as middle guys jobbing out replication... that's "replication" not "duplication." second, boxes are history. it's DVD clamshell inserts and there's plenty of places to get it done without anyone getting their panties in a twist. and third, there is no single "giant" called General Video of America. Maybe there once was, but for some time now it's been sliced up into independently owned and operated companies that still bear the GVA name, but with a geographic modifier attached-- like GVA West."

Tony Sposato

Anthony "John" Sposato's inmate number was 92489-012.

From HollywoodMafia.com:

This is Tony former bitch to Mike Marquez. The guy who was moving vending machines in Ronnie Romes place. I hear that he was using the name of the Antman in Las Vegas to get over on people. Sposato-Spliatro... I guess Mike Rizzi and the Animal had to fix that problem. Then I hear he was big in the drug business,, That was why he did so long. Thank you Uncle Mike and friends. Tony you should have only wrote on papers instead of opening your mouth. To bad that Money Tree thing didn't work out for you! I really have nothing else to say except he was a good pal to Louie Gelfuso... Louie will enjoy the deck of cards and cigarettes. Tony at least you were in Taft first.

The Las Vegas Escort Trade And The Mob

From HollywoodMafia.com:

The FBI in Las Vegas had found out through informants that various Organized Crime members wished to gain control of the outcall escort service industry in Las Vegas. The whole outcall industry is just a thinly veiled front for prostitution. The girls sign some paper that says they will not engage in any sexual acts. So how many men would pay just to speak to one of these brain surgeons? The girls who work in the porn biz call it side work and they make much more than these regular escorts. Call it what you want its all having sex for cash.

So this guy Christiano DeCarlo was running around Las Vegas and parts of California claiming he was connected. He was a skinny pussy who never could do any work himself. When I saw him I wanted some guys I knew to jack him for his Rolex. That was the kid of wimp he was on the street. Chris had hooked up with some connected guy Mario Stefano who was with the Gambino’s. They decided that they would make an attempt to take control of all the outcall business in Las Vegas. They also decided to use force. They had some problems.. One problem they had was that an FBI Agent had infiltrated the business with Chris. The second is that they needed muscle to pull this off.

They sent for a couple of guys, who were muscle. Three men arrived Vinnie Aspirins Cougiusti, a man known to use a drill as a torture device. Ken Byrnes a nasty guy who was already on the lamb and Anton Nelson. Chris kicked back 50 grand to Mario who said he gave some to Junior (Gotti) somehow I doubt Junior was a part of this plot. The FBI also connected Vinny Faraci to a loan from Junior for a restaurant in Las Vegas, but this was never explained. I find this strange since Vinny is a Bonanno guy. Chris decided he needed some more guys so he sent for some Crips. The Crips stalked another escort operator for a couple of days and then came back to LA. I guess the Phil Cicola never knew how close he came.

Then Chris decided to put his plan into motion, he had the Crips running around buying guns for his big move. The Crips were all over California buy guns and ammo. The FBI was onto everyone the whole time. Chris had it in for a hacker that was able to transfer calls from his company a competing company. Chris wanted this guy hurt in the worst way. The Crips made it to Las Vegas with the guns in a black duffle bag; somehow the FBI SWAT team let them get away. Then Chris and his friends including Vinny Aspirins grabbed a guy and were about to torture him, so the FBI busted in and took down everyone.

What kind of hold does "The Mob" have over strip clubs?

Anonymous writes: "Does this extend to "Rick's Cabaret" as well? That company is traded on Wall St. Being that I used to own a strip club, the #'s "Rick's" is reporting seem alittle off since strip clubs generate a great deal of money, especially cold, hard cash. Any comment?"

The HollywoodMafia ex-gangster replies: "It really depends on the club and the location. Ricks is in Texas right? Look its a cash biz so everyone skims. maybe nnot the owner but the people who run them. They are better than a casino! You have no people or eye in the sky to watch the count. You dont need 21 holes in the bucket to steal cash. The door, Lap dances etc.. The south even has the Dixie Mafia. they have some great clubs."

Hollywood Mafia Update

The ex-gangster writes:

Lets look at Joey Abinanti AKA Joey the duplicator... The father was a man. Joey is just a duplicator? Then why did he want to be a made guy? Why get involved? Why set up your pal? You guys only do restaurant and bars? I better becareful what I say about Joey or I wont be able to go to Las Vegas. I think I will get some duplicating done by Joey in the couple of months. Maybe Sportsbar Mike or Limping Lenny will be mad at me. How about Mister tattooed up Paulo Rossi? What is in that briefcase he carries? I think I will stop in and eat at Palmires and say hello. I will be working on some more stories today I will put some up about Bondage Book Mike C.

How is Vinny the duplicator? I remember he told me he was friends with Mike Rizzitello, he said I saw Mike before he went away and he was broke. Why didn't Vinny go to his Funeral? Hey Vinny too bad Iggy [Alogna, who assisted on the Paul Castellano assassination] is gone. Iggy was man. That whole club thing messed him up. I like Trez the guy works hard and plays hard, he sells those penis pumps and hey I remember him up at Rob King's place staying up all night. Ride the white line highway! Nicky the guy that is Joey's pal... Tony Ripe now he is the man.

About four years ago, Rob Black owed over $100,000 for duplication. Iggy Alogna was the muscle in getting that money paid.

Three Pirating Raids Monday Night

One Israeli named Chaim (DVD Concepts) was a major target. Chaim is close (partners in things?) with Bill Linton aka Lynton Appleson (British Jew) of VIP, who also owns Robert Hill Entertainment.

A source at DVDConcepts emphatically denies any wrongdoing on the part of his company and says he has the contracts to prove that everything the company does is legitimate.

The cops (sheriff deputies, federal marshals?) met at the Lamplighter in Chatsworth at 4pm Monday. The raids went down around 7:50pm.

Zev at IVI and Danny at Scurra were also raided.

I believe these raids had something to do with Jill Kelly Productions (JKP). JKP and Bob Friedland signed deals, I've been told, so that if certain DVD companies such as DVDConcepts, are not paid in full, then the DVD companies have the right to resell their merchandise.

JKP filed for bankruptcy a few months ago and owed many people money (including replicators -- perhaps DVDConcepts -- hundreds of thousands of dollars).

"I used to do cash deals with Lynton," says a source. "He used to sell me DVDs from all these companies for a buck or two bucks each. Of course he stole from all these companies. I didn't care. I sold them for $19:99.

"Do you know who introduced me to Lynton? Mike Esposito."

Lynton, who has a long ponytail and looks like he has hair transplants, is just the front man for Chaim for VIP.

Lynton is fond of wearing cowboy boots and often looks greasy.

He is partners with a guy in New York.

An email to DVDConcepts through its website bounced back Monday night.

There's going to be audio this week on HollywoodMafia.com of the late Bobby Hollander talking about Joseph Abinanti and his business partner Trez.

There might be stuff about duplicator Ari Ovadia (Anarchy Pictures, friend of Ori Spado?) and billionaire Steve Bing and disgraced private eye Anthony Pellicano.

Ex-Gangster Claims He Gave Bottle Of Vicodin To Jenna Jameson Circa 1999

An ex-gangster writes:

I hear one girl [Jenna] on the TV and Radio speaking about how great porn is to her. Well when you were staying in the Hilton in the valley and I sold you that HUGE bottle of Vicodin how was it then? That time the Penthouse photographer [Carl Wachter] told you that you had no chin or you had rabbit teeth?

The ex-gangster remembers: "Carl Wachter shot a Penthouse layout with Jenna Jameson and Jill Kelly [circa early 1999]. Jill Kelly and I were staying at the Hilton, and so was Jenna. Jenna was staying with Jay but she wasn't married to him yet. She was still dating Rob in Florida. Jenna got some Vicodin from me. She always wanted Vicodin, as much as I could get. [Jenna discusses this sort of thing in her memoir.]

"Jenna needed me to drive her and Jill at 5am down to this Penthouse shoot. Carl told her she had no chin and rabbit teeth. That's why she got it fixed [through plastic surgery]. Jenna was all upset so I gave her a bottle of a thousand Vicodin.

"This was the time Jill Kelly and Jenna were doing a dance benefit for [the late] Leslie Glass at Bob's Classy Lady. Jenna and Jill did the show in identical black and yellow suits. I was the pyro (explosions). Then I picked up all the money to donate it. I was there with Devon Davis. She hadn't yet met Jonathan from Korn. Devon was still in highschool.

"Do you think Jill Kelly is still on drugs? I saw her a few months ago and she was real skinny. She seemed jacked up. I asked her straight out. She said no. She said she was nervous."

Jenna Jameson replies to my inquiry: "This is not some revelation...All you have to do is read my book, How to make love like a pornstar!"

A reliable source writes me: "The real revelation is that Jenna and Jill once loved each other very very much, lived together and wanted to adopt children and settle down."

Ex-Mobster Turned Novelist Sonny Girard

My informant says: "I hate that guy. He tries to come off like a tough guy. I have audiotape and videotape of him [cowering]. When I looked to beat up some people at a restaurant, I brought some Hells Angels with me. I had one of them with a video camera. I ran towards this guy Ronny. Sonny jumped under the table and said, 'Don't hit me.' My friend caught it all on videotape. Any Mob guy would fight me and either get beat up or beat me up. Sonny didn't have any heart. All the guys I ran with in New York, at least they had heart."

Porno Rob Spallone Calls

Luke: "Hey bud."

Rob: "I told you -- you're not my bud anymore. Put this up there. Hey tough guy, you've got my number. Why don't you call? Because you take it in the ass?"

From the Hollywood Mafia site about Rob:

I have seen him in action, screaming and waving a gun around in his office. He also likes to carry a bat around. One time a guy [Peter Kinsler? Davy?] owed me some cash and I guess Rob also. I was there with my cousin taking all his video's off the shelf, when Rob came in screaming. The guy hid under his desk and pissed his pants as Rob smashed his copier and ruined his leather couch. The guys girlfriend told the FBI it was both Rob and I, what a lie.

Rob calls back at 7:50: "I've been getting calls all night.

"Rob wants to know why this kid is writing s--- about me? I've always been nice to him. Why is he the tough guy?

"This kid is a bulls--- artist. I'm sitting here with Peter Kinsler. That kid was never in Peter Kinsler's place ever. I remember going to Peter's place and that kid wasn' there. This kid is a wanna be gangster from the day I met him. He used to carry pictures of him with some gangster. That was his claim to fame.

"The kid's a rat for the FBI. I know that for a fact. There's a picture on there of somebody I know very well who I just spoke to. And it is a picture of the guy when he was in the joint. The only ones who had that picture are the cops.

"The kid robbed [his ex-wife] Tabitha Stevens. He went around bragging how he was getting alimony.

"The kid's a rat. He's making up all kinds of stories. If he says I have a big mouth, come tell me I have a big mouth.

"He's a little wannabe chinaman."

Rob knocked up Peter Kinsley's office in a dispute with Jimmy (son of Rubin Gottesman).

'F--- Me Like A Whore!'

Before my life became governed by God's law, I would say things in the throes of passion that I didn't truly believe, such as, "Sweet Jesus Christ" and "I love you."

As a 39-year old man with a colorful past, I've courted many counter-culture chicks and I fear that this has warped my perception of what is normal.

How many normal women ask you to "F--- me like a whore!" while pulling their hair and slapping them (something I've never done)?

I need to know, sweet Jesus Christ. Do these words and behaviors betray feminism?

Phonesex writes on GFY: "Now that's a woman to keep. Lady in the streets, and a freak in the sheet!"

Screaming posts: "If you are really into god as much as you are saying, why are you posting here?"

Phonesex replies: "Screaming, I'm into God and go to church every Friday and Sunday but business is business. And no, I have not told anybody at church because they would probably burn me at the stake."

Pornguy writes: "All of them. If you f--- them the right way."

For what is love but an inordinate desire to receive passionately a furtive and hidden embrace? But what embrace between husband and wife can be furtive?

Excuse me. I need to cool off and go for a walk and learn about John Adams and think about the Constitution.

Why are pre 20th-Century books less explicit in their rape scenes than ordinary conversation today?

"Because there aren't enough moral leaders to exert their moral influence on ordinary conversation," says a friend.

I asked for her deepest darkest desire. Was it fame? Her reply: "I'm not sure how great my desire for fame is. But my desire to obtain a job at a top 20 research university and publish my first academic book by age 30 is fairly voracious."

I'm looking at, Reading Rape: The Rhetoric of Sexual Violence in American Literature and Culture, 1790-1990. If there was ever a book that could take the fun out of rape, this is it.

I admit I ordered it into my library because I was intrigued by the title.

I remember reading 19th Thomas Hardy novels (such as The Return of the Native and Tess of the D'urbervilles) and rereading the supposedly juicy bits and not being able to decipher that there was a rape going on.

Where's the rape in this scene from Charlotte Temple by Susanna Haswell Rowson?

"Now," said Montraville, taking Charlotte in his arms, "you are mine for ever."

"No," said she, withdrawing from his embrace, "I am come to take an everlasting farewel. "

It would be useless to repeat the conversation that here ensued, suffice it to say, that Montraville used every argument that had formerly been successful, Charlotte's resolution began to waver, and he drew her almost imperceptibly towards the chaise.

"I cannot go," said she: "cease, dear Montraville, to persuade. I must not: religion, duty, forbid."

"Cruel Charlotte," said he, "if you disappoint my ardent hopes, by all that is sacred, this hand shall put a period to my existence. I cannot--will not live without you."

"Alas! my torn heart!" said Charlotte, "how shall I act?"

"Let me direct you," said Montraville, lifting her into the chaise.

"Oh! my dear forsaken parents!" cried Charlotte.

The chaise drove off. She shrieked, and fainted into the arms of her betrayer.

What's wrong with the namesake of our site?

From lukeford.com:

The self-proclaimed moral leader (Luke) on his other website had some great photos from the XBiz awards. As I was looking at the photos I saw that Luke referred to Mark Stein as "co-owner of Matrix Content". Now, I find this somewhat amusing because the real "owner" of Matrix Content is Norman Bentley... and anyone that knows the moral leader would know that he loves to take pot shots at Bentley for some reason. Jealousy? Idiocy? A mad crush on Bentley's ex-wife? Who the hell knows, but whatever it is it's taking on a very sick and twisted side to it. Marc Stein, co-owner? He's in the minority of minorities, he was fired from Matrix and he's actually being sued by Matrix because of his incompetence and breach of duties. Co-Owner? OK, I have a great idea, lets all go to E-Trade and buy 5 shares of General Electric, then we can all email The Moral Leader and announce ourselves as "co-owners" of General Electric and we can all finally be taken seriously in the world.

Kyle, 24, did his first scenes in San Francisco through Lexi Love. He followed her down to LA and they share an apartment.

Is Lexi your girlfriend?

"We're more friends than anything. We've had our moments."

Kyle has done about 40 scenes. He's saving money for school (Globe University) to study audio engineering and psycho-acoustics, "a form of a holistic healing through sound. I'm big into dance music. I want to make some good porn music."

"I've been on my own since I was 17 [and worked a variety of jobs including selling weed]. I'm a hustler. This is just another chapter."

Leah Luv says she started smoking at age eight and that has ruined her dream of becoming a singer. We run through a medley of classic songs such as Yellow Submarine and the works of Kelly Clarkson.

Ashley Steel, 19, has done about 20 scenes, girl-girl only, since she entered porn in April.

Paul Provenza's girlfriend Kat shoots behind-the-scenes footage. She says the best way to keep her camera steady is to rest it on her pubic bone.

Kat says she wants to make "quality porn."

Octavio Arizala and I immediately begin to make fun of her.

"Everybody says they want to make quality porn while they shoot the same thing that was shot at the same location the day before," he says.

Leah Luv, 21, says she gave birth to her son three years ago across the street (at the California Hospital Medical Center (CHW), we're on Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles). She says her need for money as a single mom led her into a life of pornography.

As a kid, Leah (who's done about 200 scenes) wanted to become a veterinarian.

What happened to that dream? "I couldn't afford to go to school."

How did you come up with SweetLeahLuv.com? "Because somebody stole leahluv.com and everybody thinks I'm so sweet."

How has porn affected you? "It's opened up my eyes to a new world."

In a good way? "In a good way and a bad way."

Leah says she's not going to make porn her career.

What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool? "I didn't. The few people I did hang out with, we all smoked weed.

"I was a straight-A student. I had a great attendance record."

Kat: "Will you let your kid know when he turns 18?"

Leah: "I'm sure he'll know way before he turns 18. He's a boy. Boys watch porn. I'm a porn star."

Are you going to be willing to pay for his therapy? "That's a funny one. I will. I'm a smart ho. I've saved my money."

What are you doing when you're not being a mom and not being a porn star? "Sleep and eat. That's my life -- being a mom and being a porn star.

"I'm starting at UCLA in March. I'm studying Psychology.

"My biggest goal in life is to be the best mom I can be and always be open and honest with my son and let him know that no matter what decisions he makes, he will always have my support."

What if he wants to work in pornography?

"Whatever he wants to do."

Will you help him get in the business?

"No. I won't help my son ruin his life. It's too much of a risk. I got into it because I had to, not because I wanted to f---. I did it to take care of my family. I knew that working at McDonalds or Target wasn't going to do what I needed to do for my son.

"I'm glad I got into porn. I have a beautiful car. I have a beautiful home. I've been able to put a lot of money away for my son's future."

How has your family reacted? "My dad's very supportive. He understands that what I did was for my child. He quit watching porn. So did my uncle and my brother and their friends. They leave my house when they hear the phone start ringing.

"I have a few friends in porn. They're in porn, not of porn. And none of them know my kid.

"I didn't do any porn until my son was four months old. That's when I realized that life was too hard on a minimum-wage job. I was living in someone else's house. They kept threatening to kick me out."

What kind of woman chooses this industry? "I don't know. I don't know why someone would do that to themself. I've heard young kids, 14, 15, say, 'I want to be a Playboy Bunny.' Why? Why don't you want to be the next Sandra Bullock or Angelina Jolie? Angelina Jolie is someone to look up to. She's a great role model and a great mother."

Do you think you're a great role model for 14-year old girls? "No."

Leah's had braces for five years and should get them off in another year.

"I hate men," says Leah, "because every one I dated f---ed me over."

Benny Profane, 32, has been in porn for 18-months (Profanepirate.com). He spends his own money to make alt-porn movies (three so far). He also works as talent (about 20 scenes).

Benny lives near a church, where they have a lot of choir practice over the weekend. One day he was shooting a solo-girl masturbation, which was being drowned out by the choir. The girl leapt up and yelled, "F--- you. I work for Satan." Things got quiet after that.

Today's movie is called, Atomic Vixens Escape From The Valley Of The Sluts.

Benny: "If it really was a Valley of the Sluts, why would you want to escape from it?"

Octavia says: "It could be worse. I could be picking cherries."

Ron Royster says Jane Wiedland of the Go-Gos asked him for his autograph. She watches a lot of porn.

Ron says Mike South (the two Atlanta pornographers) verbally assaulted him when they first met. "I'm a multiple AVN-award winner," said Mike.

"We went to Porn Star Karaoke together and bonded," says Royster.

Gram Ponante instructs Lacie Heart and Ashley Steel on how to say, "Go down on me!" in Latin.

Leah Luv says ICPorn did bad by her. They had her drive over an hour to the set and then decided they wouldn't shoot her because they'd shot her before. They couldn't be bothered to consult their database in advance. And they wouldn't pay her a kill fee.

Royster plays ballads by Nancy Sinatra and one of the Monkees as the crew moves the lights around for the next scene.

I'm recovering from a cold. I've been on set for six hours, since noon. Every hour I've had to check on my car and move it if necessary to avoid a parking ticket.

In her scene yesterday, Mika Tan commanded her partner to say, "F--- you, you f---ing gook."

I leave at 7pm and and then leave my home at 8:40pm for the XBiz Awards at the Key Club on Sunset Blvd.

Rob Spallone leaves me this message: "Craig Valentine says Playboy keeps calling him. They want the model releases. It turns out that Ashley Blue's boyfriend works for Playboy. He's calling for the model releases. They get no model releases. Their little friend Ashley cost them a few dollars. Too bad. I spoke to Jeff Mike too a few times. Sorry little Ashley."
