The Greatest Moment of Peter Warren's Adult Career

He posts on the AVN Blog:

On the second morning of AEE, I breifly became the subject of a little project for director Devan Cypher's website, Deviant Culture X. Devan decided he wanted to pose me with all the porn ladies we know and put up a gallery entitled "The Peter Warren Experience." Well, it finally went up today, and I'm very proud, very proud indeed. What I'm getting to, though, is that when we cornered the one and only Jenna Jameson, I introduced myself, and she immediately responded with an, "Oh hiiii!" as if to say, "So you're the Peter Warren I've heard so much about!" I've been floating ever since. So thank you, Jenna, and thank you, Devan, for making my year.

Misconceptions About AEE

Jenna Rulez writes:

It is so unreal how the whole AEE thing gets so misconceived by people. For isntance when I had the Vegas trip all planned and to attend the AEE and booked it, everyone where i work was either disgusted thinking "Oh this must be a convention for perverts" or "So you are going to bang a porn star?" And then when I explain the whole thing to them they think "Ya ok, so will there be a big orgy going on in the hotel rooms?" Then when i get back it is "So did you get lucky with any of them? No? Man I would have been in there for sure" The best is those who thought it was all disgusting. First question upon returning to work was "Did you bring the pictures?" And still the things people assume. I say "Lots of women there" and it is "Ya they must be whores or wanting to try to get into the business" So closeminded people are I tell ya. Mind you I have 3 co-workers now who borrow my dvd's each week. Yet they were the ones who used to say "You got a porn problem" Ok guys and who watches them more than i do now? Reminds me of the days of being a DJ at strip clubs and meeting women out at the nightclubs. "What do you do?" "I DJ" "Oh ya where?" and I tell them and the reaction is "You are a pig." They would think I was doing the strippers.

Dirty Bob writes on ADT:

Of course all of these people in the biz are real people, and most are fun to talk to, but I honestly believe that many of you here are turning a blind eye, or at least playing dumb, when discussing what happens in Vegas convention time. I can't think of any of these conventions where I didn't return with pics from a few parties each year that had turned into a naked or sex party. Now granted this isn't something than any average convention-goer can usually luck into, but hey, they do happen and more than you may believe. It wasn't that long ago that, for example, people came to the conventions solely in the hopes of getting in one of Anna Malle's parties or such-and-such's party - you get the idea. What is spoiling, or possibly justifying coming when questioned by your friends or better half, is the incredible number of organized company parties which overshadow the real Vegas porn get-togethers where usually nothing happens beyond meet and greet and sometimes photo opps. There is a reason they say What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas - it is because something Happens! And for those of you who are asked if you got laid in Vegas: just smile and say nothing and let 'em wonder 'cause, after all, anyone can get laid in Vegas if they really want to, right? YOU came for the parties and to become "one with the industry" - in person! For a few days, anyway...

Speaking of pictures...unfortunately I had to miss the convention this year but the pics I have seen from people from the show seem incredibly watered down. It looks like every girl wore pasties, there was very little flashing, and so on. Did it seem that tame on the convention floor as the pics I have seen indicate?

In Praise Of Kurt Lockwood

Gia Jordan writes on XPT:

[Kurt] knows when not to take himself too seriously; for instance, the dope smoking elf pic. He asked someone to take it because he thought it was funny. Kurt's music may not be to everyone's taste, but it is his and he's doing something productive with his passion unlike many people in our industry...the pipe dreamers and kings or queens of unfinished projects, and the investor that knows investors. He's not self-serving in his endeavors. Most of his shows are benefit shows where Kurt and his girlfriend Samantha Ryan are the sole organizers of each event and front the money needed for deposits, advertising, etc. If you knew Kurt, you would see how proactive he is in planning his future after porn, how much he cares for his girlfriend, and how hospitable he is to friends and guests in his home.

Pamela Peaks Is 24?

Gia Jordan posts on XPT: "I was looking up my test in 'the system' and stumbled upon Pamela Peaks test. Yeah, she's negative for everything, then again the industry doesn't test for delusions of grandeur or melanoma. The system is only referenced by birth names not stage names; thus, she must have legally changed her name. Stranger than fiction was the birth date listing her as 24."

Tony Malice writes: "I confirmed this in LabDat, and I must say I am a little disturbed. Why is Pamela Peaks allowed to use false information in that system? I doubt she has legally changed her named to Pam Peaks, and that's obviously not her real birthdate. What gives? Sometimes I really question the stuff that AIM lets go on."

Mook writes: "In my experience, women of such rare physical beauty are often afforded preferential treatment. I'm afraid it is a double standard you must learn to accept."

Ivor Biggun writes:

She was "18" when she entered the industry six years ago, so obviously that would make her "24" now. Let's face it, she's a hot young babe. Check out her reviews on The Erotic Review. Ten of them, all with appearance ratings between "7 - Attractive" and "10 - One in a Lifetime" I can't fathom why anyone would disbelieve it...

Seriously though, if that's the standard of the AIM database then be very afraid.

What brought down the House Of Luke & Holly?

2Cums writes on XPT:

I did a little investigation on lukeisback and realized that Luke was begging for a ride to AVN long before the infamous Randall New Years Eve party.

Did Holly catch Luke in some cyber/phone chat with a former Asian-Canadian pornstar and this led to the demise? Maybe he used the M word (NOT marriage, rhymes with Katja) during a passionate lovemaking session and she felt betrayed. Luke portrays Holly as the promiscuous one but perhaps the party was just a big set up to get even with him and his cheating ways.

DanG writes:

I heard it was because Holly got fed up with continually catching Luke masturbating over Martin Scorcese's 'Casino'. Apparently Robert De Niro plays a Jew in it, and there's Mafia types all over it, so it's pretty understandable that Luke was unable to refrain from beating off while watching it.

That, and Luke's insistence that he and Holly attempt to recreate certain scenes from 'Yentl' in the bedroom, including outfits, was the final straw.

Legends of Erotica ceremony

Bill Margold hosted the annual Legends of Erotica Show at Show Girls in Las Vegas. Fred Lincoln, Georgia Spelvin, Tiffany Mynx, Cara Lott, Jody Maxwell and Paul Thomas were the inductees. Jeannie Pepper, Veronica Hart, Lynn LeMay, Henri Pachard, Sharon Mitchell, and several other porn legends showed up at the event to offer their support to the delight of fans.

From Page Six:

January 17, 2006 -- TOMMY Lee has a new porn-star plaything. The Motley Crue drummer has been quietly dating 20-year-old Stefani Morgan, the latest addition to adult industry giant Vivid Video's stable of sexpots. We're told that Lee met Morgan at an Adult Video News Awards after-party at the Venetian in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. "They've been seeing a lot of each other ever since," a friend of Morgan tells us. Lee has previously dallied with porn queen Jenna Jameson as well as countless lesser-known starlets.

Donna Doll Interview By Cindi Loftus of Xcitement.com

She is beautiful. She exudes a glowing happiness; always smiling, always laughing and joking. She left her poor family in Brazil to come to the US to make money to send back to them. She was named best newcomer feature dancer by Exotic Dancer Magazine.

Adult Fun 411: Hi Donna. I love your accent.
Donna: I hate my accent. A lot of people think I am European because I don’t look Brazilian.
AF: No you don’t. Aren’t you supposed to have brown hair and brown eyes?
D: I don’t know. My parents are not Brazilian. I was born there, but my family is Italian.
AF: You don’t look Italian either.
D: Maybe I’m not their daughter! (Laughs)
AF: Maybe you were adopted.
D: Maybe my Mom did something wrong. (Laughs) But I was born in Brazil and lived my whole life there. I came to the United States five years ago. When I came here I didn’t know a word of English.
AF: Your English is great!
D: Oh thank you. I tried so hard. When I came here the only thing I knew how to say was “A number one, Big Mac.” When I wanted to ask for French fries, I didn’t know how. I was asking for fried potatoes, and the guy was telling me we don’t have that. We have French fries. I was saying I don’t want nothing French. I just want some potatoes.
AF: That’s funny. What was it like in Brazil?
D: It was crazy. Financially my family wasn’t doing very well.
AF: I hear that there is murder and kidnapping all the time in Brazil, is that true?
D: Oh my God. When I am driving I never stop very close to the car in front of me because in Brazil you are trained to not put your car at a complete stop because people will come in your car and try to kill or kidnap you, and jack your car. So when I see the light is red I go very slow, so there is always a place to move.
AF: That is very scary to live like that. Did you have bodyguards?
D: There were a lot of people that have them. When I go back there we hire someone to bring me home and watch the gate and the garage door until I get in safely. Because if you want to go out at night and get back in the house it’s dangerous because it is dark, and when you stop your car to get in the garage or open the gate they just come and hi-jack you. But now that I am doing better myself, I am able to help my parents. I hired this guy that takes care of the front of the house. Before we were doing reasonably well and we had this huge house. But the economics there are very crazy because now they have no money.
AF: What did you do for a living down there?
D: I was going to Law School. I was learning and working in a legal office. But we had no money and I decided I had to do something.
AF: How did you decide to come over here? And how did you know what you were going to do?
D: One day I just say, I can’t take this anymore. We were doing very bad, we didn’t even have lights in the house anymore. I got all the jewelry I had and my parent’s watches and I went to the pawnshop and pawned everything. I didn’t tell anybody. I had saved some of the money I was earning. (She was being paid $20 a month to work in the law office.) I went to the airport and I asked the airline girl if I could go to Australia. But I didn’t have enough money to buy a ticket there. So I asked the girl where could I go with my money? She said you can go to the very south of Brazil, you can go to Mexico, and then she said Miami. And I said oh give me that ticket. And I came here. It was December of 2000.
AF: What kind of job did you get when you got here?
D: I spent five days living in the airport. I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t know where to go. Then I read the classified in a Spanish paper and there was so many ads for dancers, $350 per shift guaranteed, no nudity. So I got on a shuttle and went over there and it was a titty bar! And I had never been to a titty bar. When I walked in there, there was a stage right in front of me with a girl dancing naked and I thought oh my God, Lord forgive me. What am I doing here? We don’t have titty bars in Brazil.
AF: So did you decide to just do it?
D: I couldn’t. So I was leaving and this lady came and talked to me and she was the manager and Brazilian too. I stayed and talked to her and had a couple tequila shots and I was ready to go. My first time on stage was that same day. So I was up dancing on stage in my street clothes.
AF: How much money did you make?
D: Seven hundred and forty eight dollars. I started dancing early in the day and stayed there until 2 or 3 in the morning.
AF: What did you think? You went from twenty dollars a month to seven hundred for one day. You were rich.
D: I didn’t ever see this much money before; I had nowhere to put it. I went back to the airport and put it in one of those lockers where you can leave your stuff. I just kept going to look and open it to see all that money. Then I got a little apartment week to week, and I started making friends.
AF: How did you start featuring?
D: I got invited to go to a couple pageants. The first one I came in second. Then I won Miss Hottest Body and Newcomer of the year. I met Ann Marie from Pure Talent who is now my agent. I went to their feature school. It taught me how to put a show together, and then they booked me in a club named Babylon in Ohio.
AF: How did you do?
D: My shoes were new and I started to slide from one side of the stage to the other and ended up hanging on to the wall. Everybody was laughing. I started laughing. It was like ice skating across the stage and bumping into the wall.
AF: Well your family is lucky because you are sending enough money to support them.
D: That is why I work so hard and so much. I feel responsible. Well now my Dad is working, and I helped my Mom open her practice again, she is a psychologist. And I help my brother go to college.

Is Lee Network's Dave Michaels Starting His Own Production Company?

"Hi, Luke," he replies. "No, no, no on the prod. thing. I helped some friends launch a website www.ultimatesexchampionship.com, that's all. I wish I had that kind of money!"

Dave Michaels threw a private party at his Venetian suite during AVN Expo touting ultimatesexchampionship.com.

The Lee Network has an exclusive contract with Vivid and Wicked to book their girls into strip clubs around the world (mainly North America).

Norman Bentley Fires His Wife Robbye Bentley

They're going through a painful divorce. They no longer have friends in common. People have thrown in with one or the other.

I gather that Norman (a key figure in Defiance Films along with Keith O'Connor and Anthony Simone) is the primary decision-maker at Matrix Content.

Robbye got a letter via Fed-Ex Monday morning telling her that she was fired.

She's seeking work (robbyelicious@yahoo.com) as well as her own computer and cell phone.

I met Robbye, who stands 5'11, for the first time December 6 at Porn Star Karaoke at Sardo's Bar. She wore a t-shirt that read, "I'm not with stupid anymore."

After I posted her photos the next day, she was fired from her job as a still photographer for Norman on a Defiance set.

On Dec 28, 2005, Robbye posted to Holly Randall's MySpace page: "Hey you sexy photog you! congrats on all your success... it's you, me, and alcoholic beverages in vegas! miss ya, let's hang out again soon...i no longer am with the asshole formerly known as my husband!"

For the past few months, Robbye has been rising at 4am to row. Instead of socializing with hard-partying porners, she been hanging out (usually) with her rowing teammates and going to bed at 9pm.

Jaclyn Harmon, Norman's 23-year old girlfriend, first-year law student, and self-styled Director of Legal Affairs for Matrix Content, writes me:

Robbye Bentley has not been employed by Matrix Content since September of 2002. She was not fired by Matrix Content.

Additionally, Robbye was working as a day-rate photgrapher on the Defiance set. She was paid for her one day of work per her agreement with Defiance. She could not have been fired since she has never been an employee of Defiance.

Please correct your story and be more careful about your reporting in the future.

Kurt Lockwood: 'Everything you all have read about me has been blown wayyyy out of proportion'

Kurt writes on AVN's blog:

...and the spin has been put on over-time by various haters, wannabes, and hanger-ons desperate for attention and website hits for cheap-ass banner revenue. They're so broke and pathetic. (How's that Kia running Luke? Gene, how's life in that one bedroom apartment off Ventura you've been living in for years? You guys live like the rats you are. I make SIX FIGURES A YEAR being one of the busiest working guys in the business, I get PAID to fuck hot chicks EVERY DAY and to travel and shoot all over the world-Caribbean, New York, Vegas, etc.-so hate on THAT you worthless gasbags. All of you white trash gossip writers are all broke-ass failures as men, you should be ashamed of yourselves.)

...This year, this coward [Mike South] from Atlanta, who thought he'd get away with being a loudmouth hater because I would only see him once a year found out he was wrong. Again, I begged him to take it outside and he wouldn't even get up from his seat, Instead, this pussy threw a drink over his shoulder without even looking at me and he completely missed! What a yellow-bellied blow-hard!

Mike South responds:

I'm gonna give ya a little heads up Lackwood, something you obviously don't know. It is by my grace that you are alive to write that thread, believe it. You see when you pulled that cowardly sneak up from behind act you were your usual stupid self. My very firt thought was to take the fork sitting right in front of me and shove it into your throat, thus ridding porn of the embarrassment that calls himself Kurt Lockwood and simultaineously raising the average IQ of Porn Valley by several points. But as much of a service to the gene pool that it would have been it simply wasn't worth the hassle of having to cop a plea to involuntary manslaughter, though I am sure if the judge knows you he would have likely given me a humanitarian award in leiu of a jail sentence. It's easy to say let's take it outside after you have put 10 yards between us and are hurrying to add to that, what am I supposed to do? Jump up and run you down? Sorry you aren't worth the effort. That's OK though Kurt I see big things in your ass...I mean future... I was here when got in the biz and I will be here when you are long forgotten.

Directors Owed Money By Distributor Lava Releasing

When Lava (run by Bob East and Howard Taylor) went bankrupt a few weeks ago, they owed their directors thousands of dollars.

The email accounts at Lava are shut down. The directors have received final sales reports, which the directors claim are not accurate.

Directors say they have not been paid since September. They say Bob took their product since September knowing people weren't getting paid.

Following Divorce, ArikaAmes.com To Close

Hell Puppy comments on Oprano.com:

Fact #1: All girls with sites built around them ultimately go crazy.
Fact #2: They also all eventually come back.
Correllary A to #2: The exception is when they find themselves a sugar daddy.

Not a knock on Arika, I've only met her a couple of times, but by all indications is a very nice girl. I actually thought she might be one of the ones that made it. But you shouldn't judge anyone for doing what they feel is right for them. I'm sure a divorce is stressful enough without the business being intertangled into it and now the whole thing going somewhat public and impacting people who have helped them do a lot of business and in many cases have been friends.

Arika is now with NY_Tim of Mob Bucks, who posts on Oprano.com:

Over the past 4 years or so I have owned 2 public companies and its always an up hill battle.

My company Jade Entertainment Group (Mobbucks) did a reverse merge in to the public company OTEN.BB. So We owned OTEN and Jade was a sub of the public company. After about a year we pulled Jade out of the public company so Jade was private again and sold off the public company.

> What was the purpose of going public?

There are not too many public companies in the adult space and we figured we would get some spin and publicity. Well we did get that, but it was just too expensive and to hard to run an adult company under the public umbrella.

Maja Lee's Retirement Statement And Explanation

She writes Jan 16 on www.maja-lee.com:

I know some of you have figured it out in the last year that I no longer do xxx movies (act in them). The last movie I did was David Aaron Clarks "Asia Noir 4" in August 2004. Yeah, that's a whole year and a half ago.

I never once confirmed or denied your claims or questions in email, on the forums, groups, etc and just tried to leave it to your own conclusions. I know I owe all my friend & fans more than that.

I've decided to not perform in front of the cameras for the reason that I never was nor never will be comfortable with my face & voice. You're thinking "no one likes the way they look on camera!" I'm seriously psycologically fucked up (for lack of better words) about my face. No amount of arguing or convincing can change what I believe is the absolute truth. I'm not pretty enough.

In the second year, after analizing myself on video, I tried to do things differently. I did my make up better. I turned my face a certain way for the camera. I tried to talk differently. I did my hair. I tried hard to make myself look like those asian pornstars that i've admired for so long. I tried to not look at myself in media.

The third year was harder than the first year. I kept toruring myself about how I should've & could've done things differently with plastic surgery @ a young age.

Maja (who is frugal) has made her living as an adult webmaster over the past couple of years and owns 16 domains (13 active).

Flashman Says He Never Went To Rehab

I ran into Flashman at the AVN Expo. He admits he drinks hard but says he's never gone to rehab, contrary to a rumor I heard explaining Flashman's absence. "Sure I drink a lot and I party a lot, but I'm the Santa Monica kid. Everything's cool."

Perfect 10's War On Copyright Infringement

Goose writes on GFY: "They made Google ban me and dozens of other honest webmasters because of what they call "using of infringing content." Although it's only the mainpage atm, it is most likely that it will go on this way. I and many others got banned for using regular sponsors content from hegre etc."

V RocKs posts:

I actually make sales from Google images... People come to my blog and various free sites from Google images... They search for "Kristina Fey", they see my pic from my blog or free site, they click on it, they get a framed page with her pic and my site, they surf my site, they end up buying a membership... Or they follow a hardlink trade to another of my sites or a linking partner... They find our revenue medium in this manner... WTF is Perfect10's problem? Also if the content was released to the affiliate to use and isn't from the members area and is being used for the sole purposes of generating sales for Perfect 10, isn't that completely fine with their TOS?

KCat writes: "They pretty much cleared out the entire babe category of sites. That's insane!"

Patrick O'Connor blogs:

Perfect 10 filed a lawsuit against Google a few days ago, claiming that google is stealing their images… They first requested that google take any images of theirs out of their search in the early 2000’s… Google complied, and took any links to their site out of their image search… but then other companies/sites stole Perfect 10’s models and posted it on their site, which of course gets indexed by Google.

Prisoner of X: 20 Years in the Hole at Hustler Magazine

By Allan MacDonell

Prisoner of X is a savagely funny odyssey through the bizarro world of Larry Flynt’s cracker-rich, X-rated empire.

During his tenure in the Hustler trenches, punk-rock dropout Allan MacDonell ascends from entry-level comma-catcher to editorial overlord of the unseemly offerings at Larry Flynt Publications.

Here’s the inside story of running America’s most influential porn domain. A professional career of evaluating countless skin photos, taking XXX field trips, mastering “fully erect” film criticism, and enduring creepy inter-office schemers suddenly launches MacDonell into national politics when Larry Flynt opens his wallet to impact the impeachment proceedings against President William Jefferson Clinton. MacDonell reveals the backside of his prominent role in tricking right-wing Speaker-elect Bob Livingston into resigning from Congress.

Prisoner of X is a wildly entertaining memoir about climbing the bent and fearsome masthead of an infamous magazine, and the bittersweet reward of publicly crossing its hillbilly Caesar. Cover artist Daniel Clowes is the celebrated cartoonist and screenwriter of Ghost World and Art School Confidential.

Jamie Ralph Gardner's Experience at AVN Expo 2006

He writes on Carnal Comics Yahoo Group:

In the photo area of the Carnal Comics Yahoo group, I have added 2 new albums. The AVN Expo 2006 album has 7 photos of Sunny Lane. The first photo shows me with Sunny. The Summer Cummings album shows 2 photos of Summer Cummings posing with me at Glamourcon. I was at the AVN Entertainment Expo on the first day of it. I took 7 photos of Sunny Lane at the New Sensations booths. Sunny was promoting Dark Angels 2: Bloodline, a movie in which she has a starring role.

Sunny was very friendly to me and she signed everything that I asked her to sign. I would have taken more photos if I knew that I wasn't going to be able to attend the next 3 days. In addition to Sunny Lane, I got autographs from Katsumi, Cindy Crawford (the porn actress), Avy Scott, etc.. At the Anabolic Video booth, there were calenders being given away that had scenes from different videos.

The convention was very aggressively checking the badges. The first security person was checking to see if the Driver's Licenses would match the badges. Several other people after him were checking the badges as well. At a previous AVN Expo, security had a scanner that would scan the badge. Of exhibitors that I talked to, there wasn't anyone that was selling. At previous conventions, there were exhibitors that violated the rule against selling.

Sunny Leone: 'My friend is looking for a webmaster!'

These models set themselves up for being ripped off by not learning html and doing their own websites (which is not hard).

In Praise Of Lacie Heart - The New Vivid Girl

Tara writes: "Have you met newcomer Lacie Heart (from San Luis Obispo) yet? I've never seen a girl who comes off so heavily as not being porn material as her. She's really pretty and has a refined manner."

Yes, I agree. I met her Nov 17.

Jack writes: "Lacie Heart just got a Vivid contract, after turning down Digital Playground."

I wonder if Lacie is Vivid's replacement for Lexi Marie? They have a similar build. Lexi's movies at Vivid have not been flying off the shelf. It's easy to be supplanted in porn. There are always pretty girls getting off the bus.

Lacie grew up training horses with her Dad.. I wonder how a girl goes from that sort of background to porn? Maybe her first choice was modeling or acting and that didn't work out.

Did you hear about how the FOXE Awards are being run this year?

Jane writes: "Bill Margold is not giving out the location (for the Feb 19 event) beforehand because he doesn't want people hanging outside begging for free tickets. If you want to attend, you have to buy a ticket in advance and then you get the location. They will only serve non-alcoholic drinks so the performers can be fully nude. There's no dinner at the awards. There will be a booth inside selling tacos. Attendees are encouraged to eat prior to the awards! Christy Canyon is being 'broasted'."

CNN Goes To Church With JCsGirls

HeatherSWEET: cnn went to church with me today.
Luke: how did it go?

HeatherSWEET: we all didnt know what to do, we told them they couldnt do that but they did it anyway
HeatherSWEET: thats why I love bill [day] he would never dog me like tha
HeatherSWEET: unfortunately it was not the reporter it was the camera guy, the reporter was really sorry

Norman Mailer: 'It's very dangerous to stick it up a woman's ass'

"It tends to make them more promiscuous…. Those who are scientifically inclined can immediately approach their mate and tool her, if they're able. Then they can observe what happens, watch her at parties, get a private detective, check up on her. So I guess I answered your question: a woman doesn't want it up the ass because she's doing her best to be faithful to that dull pup she's got for a man, and she knows if it blasts into the center of her stubbornness, that's the end of it. She won't be able to hold onto fidelity any longer."

Every woman I've banged up the bum (minus two women who were just fleeting encounters), it's played funny games with my heart. That she would make herself so vulnerable opens up my heart to her. That she would do such a thing for me, that she would let me go there (if it was something she loved and it was no big deal for her, it wouldn't mean as much to me), attaches my heart to her.

I don't think it makes a woman more promiscuous. The three women I've been with in that way are now married.

When I have anal sex with a woman I care about, it does something to me. It's me who becomes more vulnerable. Then again, there's a lot of the woman in me.

Kara Bare's Appearance On MTV's Next

She writes on ADT:

Haha. They put that I masterbate 3 times a day on national television. No.. I did not get a chance off the bus. I was pretty pissed off when the chick who one said "The other girls on the bus aren't too girly." But it was fun to watch. Haha. I have an audition this weekend with my regular modeling agent Mytchell Mora for another MTV show. Don't know the details yet though. Yeah.. I am doing regular modeling things for the time being. Mytchell is a great agent. He dropped me this summer while I was on speed. But now that I am drug-free (which is honestly the way to be!).. He is willing to represent me again. I'm doing so great today.. I think my medication is working well!

Chico Wang writes: "She's been hanging with me for a week so if she hasn't tried to commit suicide yet, she'll be tougher for it. Call me a compassionate humanitarian."

Asian Persuasion

Hermes writes to David Aaron Clark on ADT: "I noticed you just released Asian Persuasion with Hustler earlier this week and it has a scene with Kimmy Kahn . I haven't seen her in anything for what seems like ages. Is her scene new or just something from a while back that you are just now releasing?"

David Clark responds:

ASIAN PERSUASION was supposed to be ASIAN FEVER 27: ANGEL GAMES but I fell victim of typical LFP politics & the series was handed to a cheaper company man before the first of my three installments had even hit the streets -- but to answer your question, what you're referring to is a new scene, g/g with Loni. The pic in my avatar is from it. The whole movie is new, & was quite good -- at least in the original edit, which I know they had a problem with. Lord only knows what it looks like now .... But there was a fab Surewood/Gia Jordan anal, one of Nyomi Marcela's nastiest scenes ever, & a bunch of other stuff. & yes, Madame Mason, you were on the money ... in my case, they didn't even have the balls to tell me, they just hid behind their voicemail ...

Call Kimmy semi-retired -- when it seems like fun, she pops up! :) As for the Hustler thing, I think that they are disrespectful of most of their directors creatively & financially, but I also think I am extraordrinarily demanding of my various employers if not financially then over issues like final cut, packaging, etc.

At Madness I have complete control -- though Andre certainly has the overrule option to not put out anything he deems unreleasable, we've never had an issue. He's very open-minded since he himself is a creator.

Of all the companies I've passed through -- & that would be a lot of them -- Video Team has been the best to work for on a work for hire basis. They might not be the biggest company on the block, but the people there are incredible & the owner is the most ethical & honest I've found. There's more ASIA NOIR coming up for them that I guarantee will equal or excel AF27 -- rt, I mean, ASIAN PERSUASION.

(sheesh -- it figures the LFPvid curse got me again -- in the 1st volume of the series, they butchered my awesome Surewood/Jade Marcela anal with a hack edit & cheesy needledrop chacka-chacka porn muzak, & now they manage to finally saddle my resume with one of the most overused, lamebrained "asian porn" titles to ever grace a thousand different two-dollar comps bootlegged by the Israelis ...)

The Zone

Da Burglar writes on XPT:

I had a chance to discuss many things with a number of women in Vegas at the AEE last week, business women working in the gaming industry, porn stars and strippers. There is a lot of stress in those occupations and I found myself asking all of them "How do you do what you do?" It seems like a ridiculously broad, pointless question...but apparently, there is a "Zone" that many women are able to enter, whereby in their mind they are able to put themselves on another level of performance, or another state of awareness, and thus better able to deal with the actual reality of their situation at hand to achieve a desired result.

Consider a stripper performing at Vegas' Club Paradise. She is on stage with several hundred (mostly) men looking on, and the woman is required to undress and dance suggestively to excite the audience sexually and induce them to part with dollar bills. It is an intimidating scenario to deal with several times a week for hours at a time, and several of the strippers I commiserated with said to me they get themselves in this "zone" and tune out the audience and all the eyes, or in contrast they get in a "zone" where they focus UPON the eyes of the audience...the point is they are in this "zone".

Consider also a young physically slight but attractive porn starlet, who must perform a variety of sex acts with 5 male co-stars, running through the gamut of penetration combinations culminating in the 5 males ejaculating upon her face (or perhaps in her mouth), all the while she must convincingly portray sincere desire and pleasure during the carnal exercise. I had several young ladies describe to me the same phenomenon of a "zone" they get in to allow themselves to ignore the anxieties of the situation and achieve the desired goal, a hot, stimulating performance...in the case of porn one would assume the zone encompasses some type of sexual bliss or pleasure.

The recent Kara Bare/Mynor story, where the young girl attempted suicide after running out of Xanax, has made me, all at once, a little more insightful regarding the nature of this nebulous "Zone" people refer to and are able to find. I myself have used Xanax, perhaps not as much as Kara, but still enough to speak intelligently about it and what it does....Xanax is the "Zone" in pill form. It shuts up the big mouth that is your conscience, and squelches the anxiety that springs from the natural concern about what others think of you. What I found compelling, and interesting, is that nearly all my women friends and associates, casino managers/execs, strippers and porn stars used Xanax to some degree. One of my friends who oversee's Marketing for a large Vegas Strip Hotel tells me she takes a .5 Xanax before each Board Meeting on Wednesday....The most extreme case was my friend whom I spent Thursday Night 'socializing' with at Club Paradise, when she literally dozed off in my arms during "Moneytalks" by AC/DC.

Now it makes complete sense to me, how young, fairly attractive and even BRIGHT girls (like perhaps, Kara) can pursue the monetary rewards of pornography without exhibiting the compunction or shame or guilt that is inherent (whether we admit it or not) in the sexual actions and depictions on film in today's porn. True, once a person becomes "used to" doing it (or tolerant), the relevance of the "Xanax induced Zone" is lessened. But it is clear from all the anecdotal evidence I have been reading on boards like XPT, and hearing from a number of people I trust and believe and consider very good friends, and from sharing my own personal experiences, that Xanax is an integral part of the Gaming, Gentlemen's Club, and Pornographic Film Industries. Xanax is the "Business Zone"... and as I recall, Roxy utilized its commerce facilitatiing qualities as well....

Kara Nox responds:

Each "job", if you want to call it that, comes with its own stressors, and anxiety inducers. Stripping hasn't been to awful for me. I started when I was 21 back in a small club in Indiana. I made a fortune there, and it wasn't hard on me. In LA, and Vegas the story's different. The clubs are massive, and the competition among girls is stiffer. But what causes the anxiety in stripping, for me anyway, is the attitudes of the guys who judge the girls. The Spearmint Rhino in City of Industry is the worst. The expectation of girls f---ing the guys is out of control in both places. In Indiana, the guys paid up but never demanded I put out.

The only anxiety I get in porn is whether or not I'm going to get work. I get nervous before a shoot. But my husband usually calms me down. He grew up in the performing arts, and he has unusual ways of helping me with the butterflies. Onset, I'm fine. I don't care if I'm f---ing one guy, or ten. I just go with the flow, and enjoy it. Porn's liberating to me.

Escorting is another story entirely. This nearly made me join a convent. The constant phone calls, the "ratings" and reviews on various websites, and the annoying guys jerking off on the phone while talking to me on the phone got to me after a while. For this, I needed more than Xanax. I needed a stiff Martini.

What I find is that many girls lack the balance needed to remain sane in any of these industries. There's also a fair amount of self-medication with cocaine or, more commonly, Meth. Both drugs are going to amplify anxiety. Xanax can't really help you with that. It also can't help you with any underlying demons. The demons have to come out in therapy. And I've gone through enough therapy to understand what triggers my anxiety. I've never self-medicated, and I don't drink all that much. That helps.

What I do is Yoga every morning, ballet class during the week, and also belly dancing. I do a lot of things that keep my in balance, and remind myself that I'm a whole lot more than a sperm depository. That means reading, playing with my cats, taking classes at UNLV, ice skating, or whatever. I don't need Xanax. A psychiatrist put me on an anti-anxiety med four years ago, but it didn't do a damned thing to exorcise the demons or give me balance. So I just found new ways to deal with those things. This is rather personal, I know. But it's the only way I know how to respond to this post. I'm lucky to have an anchor at home, someone who cares about me a lot, and someone who makes sure I keep things in perspective. It's easy to lose that perspective in sex work. I think anyone coming into it at any level has to have that perspective, and that balance. The consequences can be harsh. It f---s with your head.

The people in the Gaming industry get benefits packages, and are treated fairly. Those benefits reduce quite a lot of the anxiety. They also aren't stigmatized by a puritanical society.

With Tatum Reed - More adult adventures -- while fully clad

Tatum Reed may wear a lot of hats -- marketing consultant, fashion maven, pop culture critic -- but she does her best work when she's wearing nothing at all. The San Francisco resident not only stars in adult films such as "Who's Next in Porn No. 2" and "Book Worm Bitch," she also runs her own film production company and the entirely not-safe-for-work lifestyle portal "Popwhore: The Adventures of Tatum Reed." These are the places that get her in the mood.

Female Validation or Mass Murder?

Da Burglar writes on XPT:

We all know women need validation, to know they are sexually attractive (it is inherently necessary for the survival of the species.) A woman needs to believe she can make a man dispense semen whenever she wants...some women have no doubts about their inherent sexual magnetism and, by extension, fertility (Supermodels, Intelligent Authors like Elizabeth Wurtzel, or any hispanic female aged 14 thru 39.) Porn, however, seems to be a proving ground for women with doubts (or dubious qulaity) regarding their sexual attractiveness, the proverbial "Flawed Beauties", women who are too short, too tall, too lanky, too skinny/thin, too fat/thick, too ghetto, too cracked out, too tweaked out, too strung out etc etc etc.

Consider these examples of artistic expression addressing the issue of female sexuality, preserved for posterity:

Now, when does the validation in the female's mind occur? Is it when she is hired for these scenes? Is it when the first blast of jizz hits her square in the cheek and she thinks AT THAT VERY INSTANT inside her mind "....Yes!! Validation! I'm Sexy!..."? Or when the glob of semen slides past her tonsils and epiglotus, down her esophagus and into her stomach, is that when she feels sexually validated? I think not.....I think what we are seeing here in fact is just Mass Murder on an unprecedented scale.

Kara Nox responds:

My validation comes when I get the paycheck. The diploma on my wall has a back balance that needs to be paid off.

Yeah, there are more ways to make money. But I wouldn't have the days off.

Doing porn isn't a biological thing. It's a way to make a living. If I want validation I talk with my husband, or have sex with a pack of ravenous wolves. I don't drink cum. And getting a cumbath certainly isn't a personal validation, at least not for me.

Sometimes a poem is just a poem.

Superhero Trilogy Porn Starring Former Supermodel/Sports Illustrated Covergirl In Her Thirties

I'm told by the producer that the promotion of this project has been delayed.

Skeeter Kerkove Fiasco

I emailed Skeeter about this. I hope to hear back from him.

Ducati Productions posts on XPT:

Skeeter Kerkove was hired by Ducati Productions to produce and direct a new anal line for us. The first movie we got from him was already shot and purchased by Ducati. Skeeter Kerkove signed an in-depth contract giving Ducati exclusive ownership of five scenes, certifying in the contract that they have never been used before.

Ducati Productions has verified for a fact that at least one of the scenes was sold to Metro Interactive and that the artwork on Metro's "More Than a handful #15" was made with photos owned by Ducati under the same contract.

We have had to recall one movie a week before the release date because it contained two additional bonus scenes of Bridgette Kerkove provided in the deal by Skeeter Kerkove that may be owned by Metro Interactive. Ducati has currently suffered losses around thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00). A lawsuit against Skeeter Kerkove is forthcoming.

The second movie that we got from Skeeter is the absolutely worst shot production we have ever scene. We were truly ashamed to put our name on it and distribute it and only did so to recover the money spent on it. Anyone who purchased "Welcome to the Bung Hole #2" and is not happy with it will be given a full refund.

Every possible thing you could do wrong was in it. From Light stands and wires, camera mans feet, dirty lens, spit all over the lens throughout the scene, camera man constantly sniffling/snorting throughout the audio, shaky camera, absolutely no cutaways, no continuity, it's got it all and more. No editor in the world could have made this right. It will make the perfect training movie of how NOT to shoot porn. Ducati productions will provide a FREE copy of it to ANYONE that wants it.

Skeeter Kerkove refuses to answer or return our calls. Skeeter Kerkove cannot be trusted and doesn’t have the balls to stand up and face the situation.

'I just received the new edition of AVN'

Ben writes: "Companies are spending big bucks to end up in the trash. There are no less then 3 multi-page spreads using cardstock. Two companies (Sunshine Films and bangbus.com) paid to have their DVDs inserted into the magazine. I looked at both dvds which are softcore (cable version) of their products for about 3 minutes each before trashing both. Hopefully the future of both companies are not riding on these useless poorly-thought-through advertisements."

Cursed by a Christian

AKSteve writes on XPT:

Me and my friends saw the "Jesus Loves Porn Stars" booth at the AVN convention and went over to it because it was such a shocking name for a booth. We were laughing and joking, not knowing what they were all about. One of my friends also wanted a picture next to their poster. I was joking about going to hell for this, so I pulled my crucifix out and aimed it at the girls, because I thought they actually were involved in some sort of unholy porn.

The girls were laughing, joking and very friendly as they explained they were into getting people to try to quit porn. So everything's going fine, but then the angry little leprechaun actually said to me, "Just take your picture and get the f--- out of here." I don't know who he is, but I know he's a part of their church because I saw him on their website. He cleared out of there as soon as I took his picture. I also told him that was no way for a Christian to talk. The girls were still really friendly, handing us pamphlets which we quickly dropped.

Kara Nox's Biography

Her friend Andy Clarke writes:

Kara is a small town girl from a snowy town east of the Mississippi, and north of the Mason Dixon Line. She grew up in a small, tight knit community where porn was almost non existent, and in a Catholic home where things of a prurient nature were kept hidden.

"I didn't have much fun growing up. I didn't even know what oral sex was. I mean, I was clueless about sex until I got to college." In high school, Kara did what most sexually adventurous girls do: she masturbated a lot. And she let loose her frustrations in athletics. She excelled in her art classes, using her imagination to release her sexual energy. Kara's exterior was that of a tom-boy, but she made sure that her panties were always very feminine just in case.

"I didn't really want to have sex with any of the guys in my school. But that doesn't mean I might not have met someone at a hockey tournament to screw. I had to be prepared."

The Return Of Kara Bare

Al Snow writes on XPT: "I'm glad that after a long stint in rehab, agonizing months of therapy, and a nice extended vacation, that Kara felt strong enough to come back to work."

Kara posted on ADT that she's in love with a man. It's Chico "Wanker" Wang.

Penny Porsche Returns

I interviewed her a few months ago.

She replies to my inquiry: "Yes, I am back, and I want to run things my way, and I want to make the money for the work I do, not just a paycheck, and see ya bye! It is a lot of work, but having control of your own work is much more gratifying."

AMA Content Claims They Were Scammed By Old Pueblo Distribution

AMAContent posts on GFY:

If you want full story feel free to ICQ me and Ill supply neccessary prooof.. I am sick of people telling me stories about what happened to them that it also happened to me. When I was unaware and brand new in this buisness of dvd retail..Arnold Stein from Arizona, approached me and gave me this great speech about distributing my dvds. Well to make a long story short, He had us ship 600 dvds out to his customers and we invoiced them , after we were paid we was to cut Arnold an agreed 25%. Problem is he was invoicing customers also saying a mistake was made and they were to pay him, not me. As months went by and I was asking about payment , he said its normal to wait up to 180 days to be paid..WHEN IN FACT, he already [being] paid for my product. I found this out from the rash of paid checks the people sent me saying they paid OPD. He even went as far as saying that HE in fact produced these dvds and were his.. listed on his website as his.

Then we meet up at LA Erotica last June. I made him a deal that id sell him 3 titles.. 1000 of each one. at a price of $6 ea for 2 of the titles and $5ea for 1 of them with the agreement Im paid withing 30 days. Well at 30 days he then proceeds to tell my employeee that I agreed to a minimum of 90 days thinking I would play dumb. When I called his bluff , he then said well, im just gonna return a bunch, which he returned alot. Now I needed the money then but in all reality the deal and price was based on 1000 piece order per title. I then had to make payment arrangements with him which of course were broken many times before finally being resolved.

This guy is a piece of human s--- and thrives on new people in this end of the biz who do not know any better. So stay clear of his bullshit. More to come im sure. Many of the retailers I deal with now say they refuse to deal with him.

Jules Jordan Leaves Evil Angel

That's why John Stagliano signed Jake Malone Friday.

According to Evil Angel's press release, they were also signing Manuel Ferrara. I hear that is not true. That was not supposed to come out yet. AVN.com has changed the story to remove reference to Ferrara. It is as though Ferrara wanted to hang at Red Light District for a few more weeks and get more of David Joseph's money.

Mike John is weighing his options.

Tricia Deveraux writes me (I've since removed the errors she points out):

Going with responsible journalism as usual I see... You want some real information, or as usual, do you not give a s--- one way or another? Evil Angel has no problems with Jules starting his own company. But the fact is, we did not hear the news from Jules until Friday morning. We talked with Jake Malone on Thursday, when we completely believed that he would be an addition to Evil Angel, not a 'filler'. Jake Malone is NOT filler material, and he will never be treated that way at Evil Angel.

There is no contract of any sort between Manuel and Evil Angel. We absolutely adore him, and consider him a close personal friend. Oh - and I don't know where you get your info on Mike John. Jules is starting his production company JUST LIKE JOHN DID - on his own, distributing just himself. And he'll do just fine that way.

John writes: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....that's funny she says "there was never any contract with Manuel"....since in the original PR on AVN she was the one quoted with saying "we've ben trying to get him for a while, and we're happy he finally accepted". AND WHAT'S with RLD signing Martin Del Toro."

Kara Bare = Barely Care?

Smiling Arab posts to XPT:

I just keep noticing the poetic nuance of "Kara Bare" and "Barely Care". Seriously, Kara, if you're reading this... stop reading this. Stop posting this. This might be what you're doing for a living now, but this isn't a circle of family or friends. People who admire the way your ass jiggles is not a sound basis for comisseration.

Kara replies:

Blahhh!!! I'll post if I want to post! I want to post! So I'm posting! If I barely cared... I would still be on speed, xanex, and not be drug-free! I care about myself.. MY OWN family in Ohio, and my FRIENDS that I do have in real-life. The idea of having internet friends amazes me. Shows that you think you have a family and friends online.

Danielle Derek Was Known As "Patty"

David from Mypornoreview.com writes: "Danielle Derek was known as "Patty" with one of the New York's high end escort agency before she moved to porn. She was available for as long as $500. Now she commands $1500+ with porn star agencies. Now that is some good marketing. There isn't a movie release of her yet she commands rates higher than most well known porn star escorts."

Here's a real life photo of Danielle Derek 'aka Patty'. She looks much older then her LA Direct Models photos.

Mary Carey To Wrestle On Carmen Electra's Naked Wrestling Show?

1:54pm, Friday. Mary Carey, Legend contract girl, calls: "I wanted to tell you what I'm going to be doing this weekend. I'm flying to Toronto to do Carmen Electra's Naked Wrestling. I'm going to have to yell at Carmen Electra and stand up to her because she said no porn stars are allowed in the Naked Women's Wrestling League (NWWL).

"I'm going to say that with pretty naked women, you should allow porn stars to be a part of it. People are going to vote online (NWWL.com) as to whether I should be allowed in the naked wrestling.

"You know how it works. I'll be sitting in the crowd and then I'll run into the ring and grab the microphone and yell at Carmen Electra. How people who stand up against porn are really the ones watching it. That she should let me in. I'm here to challenge her. Let the people of the NWWL vote and decide. I've got a speech they wrote for me to say.

"Tonight I'm going to feature dance at the Spearmint Rhino in Santa Maria. You should tell your friend to come see me. He always tells me he's your friend. He's from Pittsburg."

Luke: "I don't know who he is. You have to remember his name for me."

Mary: "He brought me a t-shirt once that said, 'Cleveland sucks.' I'm from Cleveland.

"Last night Tawny Roberts and I went to Yankee Doodles [in Woodland Hills] with all these porno people. I ended up getting kicked out Yankee Doodles because I broke a glass. It was very unfair.

"Kendra Jade is on the cover of Star magazine. Wednesday night, Kendra and I went out to one club that always lets us in. The paparazzi are shooting me and Kendra. The club wouldn't let us in. We couldn't figure it out. It turned out that [Britney Spears' husband] Kevin Federline was inside the club.

"Then we walked around the corner and went to Mood. Jamie Fox was in the club. There are pictures of Kendra and me on celebrities.com.

"I was really drunk. I don't remember.

"Someone sold Kendra's story to Star. They say that Kevin cheated on Britney with her. Kendra's upset that someone would do that to her and sell the story.

"I love you. Do you miss me?"

"I miss you."

"When are we going to lunch?"

"You always flake."

"I don't eat anymore so we can't go to lunch."

"I'm sure I'll see you at a party."

"I still eat a lot. I just don't eat Taco Bell anymore at 3am.

"Did someone really tell you that I was doing drugs? That really upsets me. I'm an alcoholic. I'm not a drug addict, just an alcoholic."

"Someone thought you were speeding."

"People just say that. I'm an alcoholic. I openly admit it. So many girls in the business want to deny that they drink or do drugs. I say, drinking and doing drugs is still better than getting cum on your face for the world to see. You know why I drink.

"Are you going to come see me dance?"

"I hate strip clubs."

"Your friend says you're a nice guy. I say, 'Yes, I know. I have no problems with Luke. I don't know why anyone does. All he does is report the truth.''

"Thank you."

"If I have a scatter-brained conversation and you put it word-for-word that's because I had a scatter-brained conversation. It's not like you're lying about it. I am a scatter-brain. But I'm very humorous, right?"

"You're great copy."

"Did you go to the [AVN] Awards show?"

"Yes."

"Did you see me present?"

"Umm."

"You missed me. I presented with Ron Jeremy and Sunny Lane."

"Yeah, yeah, I did see that."

"I couldn't open the envelope. I'm a dumb blonde. So I passed it to the girl next to me."

"Which award?"

"I presented Best Actress on Film and Best Film. I think Savannah [Samson] won both of them.

"It was at the end of the show. I was so drunk, I can't remember presenting. I have severe blackouts. Everyone around me thinks I'm totally functional. That's why a lot of people see me and I can't remember them because I was drunk."

"Yeah, I was dating an alcoholic for a while. Whew."

"Really? Did the girl have blackouts?"

"Yes. She wouldn't remember anything [from when she was drunk]."

"I can't remember a lot of things. New Year's Eve. I was in a hotel room. I rented Devil in Miss Jones twice. I get my hotel bill. I'm like, 'I didn't order any porn. I wouldn't order the same movie twice.' They were like, 'Yes, you did. You ordered the same movie twice. You said you missed it the first time.'

"Then I had a black-and-blue eye. I said, 'How did I get this?' He said, 'You don't remember? You were jumping on the bed and you fell backwards and you hit the back of your head so hard that your eyes became black-and-blue.'"

"Did you talk to the XXXChurch guys?"

"Yes. I can't talk too much about it because I'm doing a TV show with them.

"When I signed up to do the TV show, I was in a depressed state. I thought, 'I need to become Christian.' I actually did get baptized and I was a born-again Christian for two weeks. No porno. No nothing. But it was so not fun. Being totally Christian at 25 is so not fun. I'm not ready to give up drinking and showing my boobs and having sex with a lot of people.

"I totally want to settle down and become a devout Christian in five-to-ten years. The XXXChurch is trying to help. They're really great. I really like them. I think it's great what they're doing. I think there are some girls who are complete lost souls in this business. Some people have a great pussy and they've hardly done any movies... I've never had too much really bad stuff. I don't feel like I've been taken advantage of. There are some girls who are less fortunate. They could use some help. It's great that the XXXChurch are trying to help. I don't know how ready I am to being helped. I'm definitely going to let them try to help me. We'll see what happens.

"I like being a porn star. Luke, Luke, Luke. I love Luke. When are we going to meet up?"

"At the next party."

"I don't go to parties much. I've never gone to that Porn Star Karaoke [Tuesday nights at Sardo's Bar in Burbank]. We should hook up there. I'm a horrible singer but I love singing. Everyone's into rock'n'roll and I'll get up there and sing Britney Spears."

"I'll sing with you."

"I'll go next Tuesday. If my plane comes in on time, I'll make my first appearance at Porn Star Karaoke."

"Do you think everyone will be nice to me?"

"Yeah."

"OK. Then I'm going to come.

"Do fans ever bother people for autographs?"

"Sometimes."

"If you get there before me, will you sign me up to sing a Britney Spears song?"

"Sure."

"Maybe I should sing Mariah Carey. Her vocal range is a little too difficult for me. Maybe they'll let me skip the line [to sing] because I've never been there before.

"Are there any paparazzi there?"

"Me. Some others."

"Wonderful. I like to be photographed."

'If I was white I would be working for Penthouse now'

Comrade_Elvis blogs:

It is pretty obvious that I was picked for some bizarre hazing ritual when I ran Raincoater.net back in 1999, which I did not notice since they kept on hacking my mothers art gallery on imagesandobjects.com. When the Cambria list came out in Dec of 2000, Penthouse no longer wanted me, so I was dropped. There must have been a small segment of the adult community who thought that I should not be dropped and that I should become an "insider" even though I did not agree with the Cambria list policy. This group was lead by types such as Luke F-rd, and they continued to back me as an insider even though I did not want to be an insider and there was considerable opposition from within the adult community.

Thus I had five years of hell as a pawn of two opposing sides of the adult community. I was a pawn for something I never wanted. Of course if I was white, I could have just been accepted despite the Cambria list, but as a black man I had to be eliminated. Mrwebreview was eliminated early on since he made a tiny mistake and criticzed Jenna Jameson who had befriended him so they blackballed him. They have now blackballed me since I voiced my opinions on porn sucess for African females. Oh well, I wonder what is in store for me next. It is obvious that I have no career in the adult web, the search engines making that clear.

Hookers Hit Myspace.com

BellaModels.com is now on MySpace.

David from Mypornoreview.com writes me: "That is outrageous that bellamodels is on myspace. Not because they are "hookers" but because the average audience of myspace is 16-25 years old. Their target audience "Our clients are affluent gentlemen who expect the very best; Fortune 500 CEO's, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, celebrities, entertainment moguls, aristocrats, politicians and even royalty" aren't even on Myspace. Someone needs to Nici/Mona to go to college and take a marketing class. It's like having a porn company sponsor the Harvest Festival."

Mona at Bellamodels.com replies: "Luke, I think you can testify to the fact that I know a little more about marketing than any Harvard graduate! Lol. Bella Models has a MySpace page because it's a great forum to communicate with the models! As everyone knows there are 1,000's of adult film stars, models, etc. with MySpace pages! Bella Models is always looking for new models and you wouldn't believe how many models have found out about Bella Models through MySpace and are now available to meet our "affluent gentlemen who expect the very best; Fortune 500 CEO's, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, celebrities, entertainment moguls, aristocrats, politicians and even royalty.""

Kara Bare exclusive scar pics

Tony Malice writes on XPT:

Kara Bare dropped by the office today (she just got out of rehab, apparently) to show us her suicide scar. She says she took 4 Xanax bars (equivalent to 16 Xanax) - I'm no MD but I'm guessing that's a lot.

Try as hard as I did I could barely photograph the mark on one of her wrists from her 'suicide attempt.' She doesn't do anal, so my guess is this bogus suicide attempt was the only other way she could get attention.

Kara Bare responds: "What a great time I had at JM productions."

Tony replies: "Thanks for coming in, hopefully we can degrade you for the viewing pleasure of our fans very soon."

Jane writes me: "Kara really needs counseling and not a porn career."

AVN reports.

Is LFP's Head Of Production, Drew Rosenfeld, A Puppet?

XXX writes me:

Mark Kramer's lil Judas Drew was embarassed at the LFP booth when a performer loudly contradicted his claim that the reason Tom Zupko, with ten nominations, wasn't at the show was that he was "in detox," the stud citing instead that LFP was too cheap to put the poor bastard up, though they certainly had enough suits there in Vegas surrounding Drew. Drew immediately called Zupko & cried at him like a bitch over being embarassed in front of his staff & overlords, as if it were Zupko's fault that Drew's conniving, ethics-free management style is already becoming legendary in the business in his freshman year since making the rise from building sets to corporate hatchet man.

Speaking of LFP, wonder how they're feeling about their big hype J. Angel signing with the unfriendly competition over at Pulse for her website output, including the 20 minute short that LFP put its name on so that AVN would bend the rules in search of an award to grant her?

LFP's publicist, Jeff Mullen of AllMediaPlay.com, responds:

Hello Luke,

I was amused by some comments posted on your site and felt inclined to briefly respond. LFP Video’s Drew Rosenfeld is nobody’s puppet man and anybody who has known Drew over the years understands that he is the type of guy that can be counted on to stand by your side when needed and that he is also an executive who can make up his own mind without the assistance of outside input. Regarding the asinine comments that the reason Thomas Zupko and some other directors where not at the AEE show was because “LFP was too cheap to put the poor bastard up” is remarkably short sighted.

LFP Video has about 25 directors working on projects and to make the distinction of who should receive an expense paid trip over another director would only cause problems. LFP Video loves Thomas Zupko and the company did supply an AEE badge to any of their directors who wanted to attend the show.

What was over the edge were the derogatory comments regarding Drew’s management style as this type of post seems to me to be nothing more than a performer or producer whose own career has not gone as well as they hoped for lashing out at somebody who truly belongs in his position. What amazes me is that there are still grown men acting up and talking smack when they should be busy trying to get their own business affairs in order so that one day, they too might make something of themselves. The house that Larry Flynt built is in great shape as 2006 looks to be a banner year.

Joanna Angel will continue to be a big part of VCA Pictures regardless of any outside deal her Burning Angel.com enterprise has done. As a matter of fact final deal points were being ironed out yesterday for her new contract so that she can remain with VCA Pictures producing, directing and starring in her lively feature movies. Her next big feature ‘Joanna’s Angels 2’ comes out in the spring so any thoughts of her not being with VCA Pictures for her feature projects are inaccurate.

VCA’s Peter Reynolds has done a fabulous job with the current movement encompassing directors such as Joanna Angel and Eon McKai however, it is not always possible for a company to do every type of business transaction with a client simply because they are producing great movies for you. This is a very involved business with many delivery platforms and content sources but not all deals are doable. Joanna is a strong part of the VCA Pictures family and we look forward to her next release and many more to come.

Sean Carnage writes me: "I nominated BurningAngel's RE-PENETRATOR. LFP had nothing to do with that. I'm not aware any rules were "bent" in this case. I nominated RE-PENETRATOR because it complied with the AVN Award guidelines. It seemed like it had a good chance of winning (it is certainly outrageous!). And it won."

AVN Editor Mike Ramone replies to my inquiry: "Not quite sure what alleged bending of rules XXX is referring to. Re-Penetrator, which won Most Outrageous Sex Scene, was released during the requisite time period and contained hardcore sex. End of story."

Why journalists go gaga over the Consumer Electronics Show

National Journal's William Powers says this year's coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show "may have set a record for unmitigated cheerleading and free PR for the tech giants and their latest goods. ...We cheer them as if they were disinterested do-gooders or beloved folk heroes, not profit-driven powerhouses with legions of lobbyists in D.C." One reason why: "Because the news business is converging with the businesses run by [Bill] Gates, [Steve] Jobs, and the Google guys. Those cool machines hold journalism's future, literally. So they fascinate us."

Bornyo writes: "The reason they like it, is it is concurrent with AEE."

February Playboy Details Sex.com Story

Both Gary Kremen and Stephen Michael Cohen claimed title to the most recognizable domain name on the skinternet. Michael Gross takes you through a nine-year legal ordeal that features a porn star, a swingers club and a dash for the border. The Google guys they are not.

It's on the newsstand today.

"It's a great article," says Kevin Blatt. "It's the best one yet. It's a huge article. People quoted include Charles Carreon, Kym Wilde, Jim Wagstaffe. Webmasters named include Serge Birbair, Seth Warshavsky, Ron Levi."

SleepAssault.com

It shows women getting screwed while they are purportedly asleep. It's part of the ragecash program. I wonder who processes credit cards for such sites (evidently they use several billers and Epassporte.com).

Ragecash describes sleepassault:

Sleep Assault is like nothing else on the web, combining that "Reality Feel" along with a concept that has been touched yet. There's plenty of customers out there (male & female alike), the male customers have certainly fantasized about having sex with a girl while she was out like a light, meanwhile female customers have certainly fantasized about someone sneaking into their room and giving them special attention. With those fantasies in mind Rage Cash explores a fetish that is untouched by anyone in the market which means large profit opportunities regardless if you promote Sleep Assault as a Fetish site or a Hardcore site.

Franck writes on GFY: "[Ragecash's] motherdaughterf--- is blacklisted on the Hun [huge TGP site]. Not bitching or anything, they have the right to reject anything they want ofcourse but it sounds kinda odd to me. A site that lists beast stuff and more than once other real f---ed up things blacklists a site for "insinuations"."

A1R3K from Ragecash responds: "I understand that our fantasy/reality sites are edgy to say the least and not everyone will take all of them. seems a bit odd that one can run with a dad pimping his daughter for money to go gambling and drinking is ok, but two women that aren't related and don't do each, can't f--- the same guy in a fantasy based environment. but, like i said, his list, his rules, i got no problem with it, motherdaughterf--- kills for me other places, so its just the submitters that are getting hurt on where than can submit. it comes with the territory of having edgey sites in new fantasy/reality niches. at least the content is 100% exclusive and can be found all over other tgp/mgps."

UNCJordan writes: "The sleepassault site is banned for me too when I tried it on a few paid spots."

Turboface writes on GFY: "Do you think that RageCash's SleepAssault is a rape site?"

Kmanrox writes: "Someone presented this niche idea to me a couple of years ago and I told them it was rape and not to touch it."

CDSmith writes:

The sleeping niche also includes the situation where a husband, while sleeping with his wife, sneak attacks her while she sleeps. Same with a boyfriend-girlfriend scenario... and how many of you have woken up at 5 am and thrown one into your woman while she sleeps? I know I have, and it's hardly rape. Fact is tons of women out there love to be woken up like this.

The rest of it is FANTASY, as in play-acted. There are plenty of acted-out scenes of forced sex on TV and in movies, I don't see anyone bitching about those though. Why? This site plays up to a fantasy some people have, and nothing more, so get over it. Stop witch-hunting already.

Jace writes: "Seems like a fantasy site to me...and visa approved it, and they are pretty crazy strict now...so, they must also agree that while it is borderline, it is also very much a fantasy and not close to being real."

Outcold.com is a similar scenario to sleepassault.com. Outcold's credit card processing got shut down a few months ago and webmasters who sent it signups weren't paid.

Zomb1egirl writes me: "Ragecash shut down my account, they gave me a 24 hour notice to take down all links (which I didn't get until the last minute cuz I was away) They didn't like the keywords I was using to promote sleepassualt (which were forced fantasy, rape, passed out girls, unconcious, etc) which is the truth & describes the site! The point is I didn't get paid. They didn't owe me a lot, about $500 revshare, but it's the principal of it."

Melissa Lauren Flakes Twice?

PBG writes on FunWithPSES: "I had mentioned earlier that I was scheduled to see Melissa Lauren on Wednesday, 1/11, but she cancelled. Apparently she fell ill. So we re schedule to Thursday night. Bodymiracle said they tried calling, but she never returned the call, therefore, never showing up. That sucks because I live in Florida, and I don't get out West that often. I really had my heart on seeing her. I hope that the next time I get out West Melissa is still be available."

Zero Degree?

Tomer Yoffe who owns Vertigo and is the nephew to Danny Mamane, started a company called Zero Degree and is being sued by Greg Alves and Joey from both Zero Tolerance and Third Degree.

AVN Awards

Director James Avalon writes on ADT:

I’m glad that Hillary Scott is appreciative of her award, for she and Alicia Alighatti were amazing sexual performers. As was Penny Flame in Darkside. For those who were concerned that Red Light District Films wasn’t going to have top-notch sex scenes, I feel the AVN awards at least shows that we kept it up (bad pun, but what the hell). Winning a bunch of sex scenes in a sex film at least shows we accomplished what we set out to do.

As for the other categories, I found it strange that the winning director [Paul Thomas?] would actually get up in front of the industry and say that the cinematography and editing of his film, which just won in both those categories, was shit. I wonder how that makes those who voted for them feel. Especially when it’s seconded by posters on this site. Let alone those who worked on the film.

I do thank AVN for the 5 awards Darkside did win, more important than they appear at first glance. We are in the sex entertainment industry, and whatever gloss and polish we as directors apply, the end result should always be good, solid sexual performance and entertainment.

Cali/Cherish Twins No-Show

Ducati Productions posts:

The twins Cali and Cherish committed to signing for Ducati/Northstar at the AVN expo. They never showed and never called. We featured them in all our promotional materials, including a full page ad in the January issue of AVN and printed ten thousand posters for them to sign all for nothing. We thank the professionals that did show up and were on time everyday: Peter North, Teanna Kai, Avy Scott, Shy Love, Brittney Skye, Glenn Danzig and Craven Moorehead.

AVN Fired Journalist David Woodman Thursday

David, a portly Emmy-award-winning TV journalist, clashed from day one with AVN.com managing editor Dan Miller. Miller looked on David as a TV guy and didn't like editing his copy.

XXX writes: "Luke understands that Woodman's copy was frequently sloppy, and required an inordinate amount of time to edit. Skill sets for TV journalists and print journalists are different - TV reporters don't always make good print journalists and vice versa. Tabloid reporters, which Woodman also was, sometimes aren't good fits for more mainstream and trade print publications. But Woodman was hard working and has a good news sense."

AVN Expo Notes

* My sad female webmaster friends says Saturday: "Last year I spent the night with three guys from straightcollegemen.com and two porn stars. We hung out at the booth and kissed and made-out with him every couple of hours. Then the guys came up to us and kissed and made-out with us. Yesterday Justin (owner) came up to me and said, 'Get out of here or I'll call security.'"

* She complains that this male porn star kissed her at the Circle Bar and then says his wife is upstairs.

"What's the point of having a jacuzzi suite if there's no guy to get into it with?" she says.

Normally she gets laid at conventions.

"You've got to hang with me," says my roommate. "I will hook you up with some nice webmasters."

* "Joanna Angel is the new icon," says my friend, "because she's got something she can merchandise -- burningangel.com. Clothing, DVDs, whatever."

* As Paul Thomas gives his acceptance speech, my friend describes him as "the epitomy of modesty. Not."

* "Ariana Jollee has lost a lot of fans because she does trannies," says a friend.

* I met Ariana's mom Friday night. She said she was completely ok with her daughter doing porn. The mom sounds like she was wild.

* I hear that Saturday on the show floor some fans thought Cytherea was tweaking, but maybe that is just her natural excitable personality?

* McKenzie Lee cries when she gives her acceptance speech for winning Best New Starlet.

* Mika Tan shot a scene with a Chinese girl she met in the weightroom and the girl's boyfriend. The boyfriend had a hard time getting it done so Mika had to endlessly fluff him. They shot for five hours until 7:30am Saturday. Mika was so tired she fell down the stairs and smashed her face, bloodying her nose. Then she had to sign for hours Saturday on the show floor. At the AVN Awards Saturday night, Mika looks great but she has on a ton of make-up to cover the damage to her face. The swelling on her nose has gone down.

* When the rapper takes the stage at the AVN Awards, he largely clears the room.

* Most of the AVN staff appeared disappointed with the awards and the lack of substantial food to eat. Well, at least they each got a fancy suite at the Venetian.

* "People no longer regard this as a formal affair," complains a friend. "They pay $250 and feel like they can wear what they want. They show up in blue jeans. As is typical, the women dress like a million bucks and the men dress like two cents."

* Attorney Allan Gelbard and his beautiful blonde civilian girlfriend don't want to be photographed by me Saturday night at the awards.

* Jasmine Byrne looked upset and depressed at the Circle Bar Friday night.

* Jan 13. 10am. I finish my convention report:

Sunday, Jan 8, 9am. My roommate, standing in front of the mirror, says, "My lack of sleep is showing."

"How?"

"I have bags under my eyes. Why do you think I've been going around with my head up and my eyes half-closed? It's not just because I'm horny. People still tell me I'm beautiful.

"Did you accomplish everything you wanted?" she asks.

"Yeah."

"I mean at the convention."

"Yes. How about you?"

"I didn't see enough people and I didn't get laid enough."

"How often did you want to get laid?"

"I didn't mean by you."

"How many people did you want to lay you?"

"About four."

"Good luck today."

"I don't think I'll have enough time."

I walk into the parking lot at 9:30am and wait for my ride. I read my Philip Roth book, The Human Stain.

Professor Silk Coleman, 71, tells his 34-year old cleaning lady lover: "This is more than sex."

"No, it's not," she replies. "This is just what sex it is. All by itself. Don't f--- it up by pretending it's something else."

Mike South Profile

Most of the women Mike shoots perform a handful of times then drop off the map. Mike believes the underlying reason women want to be in porn is to affirm their beauty. He claims — and several porn stars tell CL they agree — that porn is the ultimate validation of a woman’s sex appeal. That validation can become dangerous, however, says Felicia Fox, an award-winning porn star and friend of Mike, if the girl has low self-esteem.

“If you’re not strong and completely comfortable in your skin,” she says, “this business will eat you alive.”

I asked Mike about this at the end of his story: "Editor's Note: This story has been edited to remove an allegation of drug use that was unsubstantiated."

South1226: dude its no secret that I used to do drugs...not since I was 26 though
South1226: way before I was in the biz
South1226: ahh they originally mentioned that my ex wife and I used to party rather heavily with coke
South1226: they pulled that part
South1226: I guess the ex read it and it was too honest

ESPN Courts Female Viewers With World's Emotionally Strongest Man Competition

BRISTOL, CT—Sports broadcasting giant ESPN, whose programming has long been a staple among male television viewers of all ages, made its first foray into women's sports programming with the introduction of the World's Emotionally Strongest Man Competition Monday.

The hour-long weekly show, which will run opposite ABC's Monday Night Football, features an international cast of powerfully caring, emotionally resilient, deeply sensitive men pushing themselves and each other to the limit with astounding feats of inner strength in domestic settings around the country.

Couple Upstairs Going At It Again

BROOKLYN, NY–For the ninth time in as many hours, the couple upstairs went at it yet again at 4 a.m. Tuesday, hammering away at one another in an impressive display of sexual stamina and tenacity, apartment-directly-below sources said.

"There they go again," said downstairs neighbor Murray Schuman, a 41-year-old bakery owner who gets up each day before dawn to decorate cakes, as a steady, rhythmic thumping knocked plaster dust from his ceiling for the umpteenth time.

What's Sexy Now? The Slip

NAOMI WATTS can work a slip like nobody's business, a gift she flaunts in the Peter Jackson remake of "King Kong." As Ann Darrow, the movie's spirited heroine, Ms. Watts whirls and shimmies like an overheated windup toy before the mighty Kong, sheathed all the while in a sliver of silk and lace.

She is but the latest in a long procession of big-screen temptresses - think of Jean Harlow, Elizabeth Taylor, Faye Dunaway - to have brought out the beast in their leading men while slinking around in a slip.

I Meet Erica Campbell (Playboy's Model Of The Year 2005) At The AVN Awards

Playboy's model of the year Erica Campbell and Crystal Klein Erica Campbell, Crystal Klein Erica Campbell, Crystal Klein Erica Campbell, Crystal Klein

Erica's hanging with Penthouse Pet Crystal Klein. They're laughing about winning an award for Best Anal scene.

They did a photo shoot for Danni.com and it involved sex mittens.

"We had lots of mitten sexuality," says Erica. She has a full figure and says she loves to eat.

"Our contracts almost got cancelled because of that mitten.

"We just came [to the AVN Awards] to find out who got Best Anal."

"We're so excited," says Crystal.

"I want to know who got Best Anal," giggles Erica.

"This place is filled with sexy men," says Crystal. "I can't wait to see all the porn girls thank God and their parents for receiving this precious award."

"I want to know who they pay," says Erica.

"Are you available to spend quality time one-on-one with your fans?"

"I auction off dream dates to my fans so they can get to know me on a personal level."

"How much for an hour?"

"I don't do it by the hour, but I do auction off dream dates, supervised, for charity."

"There's no escorting?"

"No, there's no escorting. The only escorting I'll be doing is for Crystal Klein. We're escorting each other tonight. There was no money involved."

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

"I wanted to be Playboy's model of the year. I wanted to live on a farm in New Hampshire and raise horses and bunnies. I am doing that. I just bought a farm."

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

"I didn't hang out with a crowd. I had no friends. See what happens to you when you're a loser in highschool. I was really ugly. I went to the bathroom alone. I got invited to the Senior Prom by other losers just like me."

Erica first had sex at 17. She's had sex with three people since then. "I'm not married."

"Are you in a monogamous relationship?"

"Define monogamous. I don't do other guys. Crystal's been approved. We have swinger parties."

"What kind of drugs do you do?"

"I don't do drugs. I'm high on life. Can you picture me on drugs? I sleep a lot and I eat a lot and I'm a degenerate gambler."

Erica describes herself as a "humanitarian anal-sex-lover."

* I see Loren Mizrachi and his girlfriend Angel Felon. She now works at Anabolic 40-hours a week and loves it. The couple was discovered at Sardo's Bar in Burbank having sex in the bathroom during Porn Star Karaoke. They haven't been back since.

* Paul Fishbein walks through holding hands with his pregnant wife Cherry Rain who's holding hands with Dani Woodward.

* Sunny Lane's parents, who've been together 28-years, say their hearts at palpitating at the excitement of the AVN Awards and Sunny's chances of winning Best New Starlet. They say Paul Fishbein and Mike Ramone took the time to shake their hands.

"We've been to a lot of skating events, but nothing like this," says Sunny's dad.

They've bought an entire table at the awards and hired a photographer (Rich) for the AVN Expo to document Sunny.

* Robin Leach walks by.

* Leslie Sharp consults for Digital Playground and she's signed new deals with Red Light District and AEBN.

* When I photograph Kurt Lockwood, he flips me off and yells "F--- you."

* Rob Rotten says he's been drunk since 6am.

* Sin City owner David Sturman has already left town for a friend's birthday party in Stockton.

* I'm told business was brisker this year at the AVN Expo.

* When Mike South sat down, Kurt Lockwood came over and dumped a beer on him. "Kurt will get his," says Mike. "I have more class than to pull something like that in here."

* By the time Jesse Jane's voice reaches the back of the room, it looks like she's lip-synching.

* When I walk the aisles during the first half-hour of the show, 99% of the people are glued to the screen during the pre-recorded funny bits. After 10:40pm, there's a steady stream of people out of the awards, most of them congregating outside.

* Heather Pink says the Tampa Show is more fun and this show is more stressfull. Heather says she's designing the women's clothes for her businessman boyfriend Andrew.

* Jim Henley (works for LFP) comes over and says hi. He says his first joke at this year's XBIZ awards was for me. He took off his sunglasses and said, "I don't want to be pretentious."

I guess I ripped him in January 2005 for wearing his sunglasses during the late-night awards.

I say I was so sick at the Nov 17 2005 XBIZ awards, I didn't pick up much. He says he was also under the weather, which is why he didn't go on a rant like the first awards.

* I overhear Darklady describing the AVN Awards as "boring, boring, boring."
