Have you contributed to the Jon Dough memorial fund?

"Chet’s [family] doesn't have any money. That’s when I thought I should do something so I can bury him properly," [Randy] Spears told AVN.com Tuesday. "We’ve set up a Paypal account and this money will go to [Monique]. I put out a personal message to the fans in a blog that I consider it a personal favor for them to help."

Another One Bites The Dust?

One thing that always made Austyn Moore so attractive to me was my sure knowledge that neither I nor Adam Grayson would ever have sex with her.

Now I'm not so sure.

Wednesday I got this email from her:

Austyn Moore Entertainment is currently casting for the upcoming movie titled, The Secret Society. The one big difference with this casting call is Austyn Moore is looking for real people with real fantasies. The Secret Society will feature 5 lucky winners all getting to act out their sexual fantasies with Austyn supplying the female anatomy to make those fantasies come true!

I replied:

Why are you doing this? How have you liked going your own way (instead of being a contract girl)? Isn't part of your allure that you are unattainable?

She replied:

I'm doing this cause I think its gonna be fun! I want to do something different and new. I am enjoying being on my own its pretty cool!! It's alot more work than just showing up and shooting a few scenes and then going home, but I am enjoying being a part of the movie from concept to end. I don't think I was ever unattainable, I might come across that way but I know what I want in this business and strive hard to obtain it. As a contract girl I would have f---ed 16-24 people this year under a new contract anyway, so why not make 5 of those people amateurs? I know this concept of shooting with amateurs is different but I gotta f--- to stay in this business anyway, so I might as well f--- 5 new people and let them have some fun too!!!! They will be AIM tested a few days before the shoot, so its just like hiring a new guy in the business that no one knows. I'm really having fun and am pretty excited about The Secret Society, the response from people applying has been close to overwhelming so the fans seem to like the concept too. It's different, fresh and new and at the end of the day.....it's just sex!

I thought sexual intercourse had a cosmic significance and that anyone you ever knew in that Biblical sense would forever be a part of your life, not just in this world, but in the world to come? Perhaps I was naive.

Webmistress writes:

What the hell is going on with Austyn Moore? She seemed very balanced when she first came out to LA and was a contract girl. Now it seems like she's going the 'highway to hell route'. These are not the days where a performer (or just about anyone for that matter) can get a distribution deal easily. She should have stayed with Adam and Eve. F--king 16 to 24 people isn't so bad if the money is guaranteed. On her own, she's playing roulette.

Did Dying DVD Sales Murder Jon Dough?

I was doing an interview Wednesday morning about the size of the porn industry, about oversaturation, about how the size of the DVD market is stable but the number of producers is increasing, how many producers are lucky to sell 600 DVDs of a title, and it prompts me to wonder whether we killed Jon Dough by not purchasing enough of his DVDs? Was an oversaturated market in part responsible for the great man's death? Is his blood on our hands?

Tyrus Cobb writes: "If that is the truth, a lot more porners will die before the summer is over."

Mark Hamilton of Pulse Distribution tells AVN: "I think as the DVD market flattened in the last year or so, it has been harder for even talented performer/directors like Jon to thrive as they may have done five years ago."

Perhaps if each of us had purchased just one copy of Jon's Ass Creampies, he'd still be with us.

As AVN put it so well:

Dough's sense of humor showed through in series such as Anabolic's Ass Creampies, a line in which the girls got a plate of whipped cream in the face after the scene. During his most recent interview with AVN in the winter of 2005, Dough jokingly sang a few verses of a song about himself that he called the "Ass Cream Man."

Goodbye, Mr. Ass Cream Man.

Mark Hamilton emails me:

Luke, I certainly did not intend to imply that DVD sales were a contributing factor for Jon's death. That comment was only in response to comments from others that Jon had bounced around with a few deals recently. I have no idea what caused Jon's death, and while others have speculated about this, I don't think it's appropriate to make a guess when I really only knew Jon on a professional level.

Holly Randall posts on XPT:

...[S]ometimes I get submissions from agencies and the girl is hideous and won't do this or that. You can only have those kind of restrictions if you are really pretty, and even then I can't book you as much as a girl who does hardcore. This is why I love girls like Melissa Lauren -- who I think is so beautiful and is also so damn nasty. I'm shooting her again in a couple of weeks, I'm so excited! It's gonna be a girl/girl with her and Sasha Grey -- I'm almost a little scared to do the video, it's going to be so crazy and hardcore...

...I just love penis, anything else doesn't interest me too much. If you don't have a cock to force down my throat and gag me with, I'm not really interested. Face f---ing is the best, and I'm not just saying this because I haven't had sex in 6 months. Oh wait, maybe I am.

Holly's got a date with a black man (Tone Capone?), her first black man, Friday night.

Webmistress writes:

You need to stop writing about Holly. It is very unhealthy for the both of you and is making you both look seriously 'crazy'. In an industry filled with people who are already more or less warped, it makes you both look awful. You are losing your porn edge. What's wrong with you? If Holly wants to date male talent, then let her, its her life. You are totally obsessed with her and need help!

Eichenwald: I needed counseling after covering child porn

New York Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald, who has been writing about pedophiles on the Internet, tells Bob Garfield: "I have seen more kids sobbing in front of me, I have had more instances of witnessing an image that haunts me for months. This is the first time in my life that I've needed to go into counseling sponsored by, you know, The Times, where I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. I had to stop doing this for three months. You know, my wife periodically will say, you know, are you sure you can keep handling this? I'm not sure."

Jon Dough - Death, Be Not Proud

Jon lives on through his work.

Tod Hunter emails: "People are hanged, not hung, unless they're hung on a meat hook or something. The noose/death business is "hanged.""

Christian Mann writes:

A more fitting admonition to those in the industry trying to make sense of Chet's passing than this by John Dunne:

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.

Hank Rose emails:

Luke:

Somehow poetry is unbefitting the premature self inflicted passing of a porn luminary. Perhaps because the mind of a poet is less likely to look favorably on fame achieved through media physical and not scholarly cerebral means.

To not honor the lifestory of a porn great in retrospect is to say he died in vain and his life was not worth living. This due to the kneejerk reaction pessimistic pedants would have us believe when they are in the business of mythologizing the industry as larger or lower than life: that the business killed him, not drugs, which are a scorge of society in general and not specific or exclusive to porn.

Those who die young and famous live in the realm of eternal mind forever. For he/she who reach their goals and realize their dreams and have already conquered the purpose of their existence can often let go and say that they accomplished something. Such is the short sweet lifespan of a shooting star.

Margold was once fond of saying there were as many male lust legends in front of the camera as astronauts in space. Using that criteria, Jon Dough didn't just take his career to the moon. He flew on the wings of his manhood to far distant planets. He was the first talent ever siged to an exclusive male mega contract via Vivid and as far as I know the one and only man to have had 100 co-stars to himself. At 43, I wouldn't trade places with him. But that doesn't mean I'm not inspired to make a comeback to spite the doom and gloomers.

Jon Dough was a legend. All the more so for having made it to the top with psychological problems when lesser men would have thrown in the lube. I assure you that more men have climbed Mount Everest than have done 100 gals in a reverse gangbang. I expect more to try the feat after they read this. The King or the Hedgehog can't claim that.

If The Wadd was Elvis and RJ is Milton Berle, then that makes JD John Wayne. Granted, he shot himself in the foot in the end. But the tragedy of that doesn't lessen the notches of his sex shooter. Heroes often die young no matter what their gun is made of. In war peace or love, you can live by it and die by it. Jon did both. Yet his memory and legacy survives. Glory has a way of sealing immortality. Papa Porn was right. I say this as I play the smut stud's eternal theme song, Apollo 100's Joy.

>Jon seemed like such a good guy, one of my faves to talk to.

Oh, there are a lot of us Luke worthy of spiritual kinship. We're just human beings. Life's sufferers often take the pain of early misfortune and turn it into adult fame somehow. That is a common theme among us porners no matter whether we find a niche with our pen or our dick. Like Billy Joel sang...only the good die young...

I Interviewed Sexy Novelist Aimee Bender

I got to tell her: "You're freakin' gorgeous."

It was a great moment in literary history and a turning point in relations between the sexes.

If I had been blogging in 1992, there would never have been the L.A. Riots.

CelebDrive writes: "It wasn't until I was halfway through the Aimee Bender piece that I realized it wasn't a posthumous interview with Laura Nyro."

Death, Despair and the Community

I just finished Samuel Heilman's excellent book When a Jew Dies. He concludes:

...[F]or Jews in death no less than in life, solitariness is raplced by solidarity. Jewish life and death are with people, and hence in the face of death no less than in life, the answer to Hillel's question is "You are not, cannot be only for yourself." In their traditions and customs, Jews reveal an understanding that for them death is not and never can be a purely personal matter. It strikes at the heart of collective existence, for the death of one can portend the death of all, and the response to death must therefore be both individual and collective.

Why Not Write Ill of the Dead?

Why not write of the dead the same way you would if the person was living?

Death does not morally improve anyone.

Reading Samuel C. Heilman's book When a Jew Dies, I realize that it was an ancient belief (still prevalent among those with a primitive mindset) "that one must not speak ill of the dead lest they reciprocate and, with their now superior spiritual power (an inversion of their obviously inferior bodily power), curse those who fail to grieve for them."

I am constantly looking for areas where I have a comparative advantage over other writers. Writing about those who've just died is frequently an opportunity for me because I feel no compunction about writing the truth, even if hurts the feelings of the survivors.

Jon Dough (Chet Anuszek) Hanged Himself Sunday

Ciera Sage Pregnant And Available For Escorting

Pornmonger writes: "It's a bargain at $350. I hope this child has a normal life and that his/her mother never tells that she allowed random guys to f--- her during her pregancy."

Porn Star Interviews On Youtube.com By Charles Snider

Exotica Tyler Faith Nautica Thorn Jessica Drake Gauge

"I’m Mimi Herrman from IntimateDVD.com. I did a few porn star interviews at Erotica LA this year. My favorite was Brad Armstrong."

Jenna Jameson Loves Los Angeles

She blogs: "LA is fab...I truly love it here. It is non stop energy, and right now I am loving being on the go. I have so many amazing friends here that are helping me and sticking close to me. Definitely means a lot. I have been shooting quite a bit and being seen...lol sometimes not on my own accord. Gossip is a bitch sometimes!"

Jeff Steward's True Hollywood Stories

Donkey Punch writes on XPT:

Hey Jeff, isn't there anything that you can do for Haley and the countless little girl losts in the industry. I hear that a realistic re-enactment can sometimes provide some catharsis to these victims of abuse. Something along the lines of facing your fears until you're no longer haunted by your past trauma. Recreating the molestation by her uncle and the raping of Haley by Chico and his gang buddies. "Jeff Steward's True Hollywood Stories." That would be awesome, its a win, win. Closure for the girls and excellent stroke material for your legion of loyal pervs. Legion, for we are many.

Ivor Biggun responds:

Among the non-sociopathic minority of men involved in the world of whores, there can't be many who haven't at some point had the thought of "saving" one. Every once in a while she catches your eye, the "little girl lost" as you so aptly put it, who seems out of her depth amongst the hardened pros, and worth so much more. But more fool you if you try, for you will only have to watch as time and again she returns to the the things that are damaging her. And god forbid you become emotionally involved, because she will rip your heart out in the blink of an eye. When reality finally dawns, you realise that they all started off as "little girl losts" - the hardened whores have just been at it for longer - and there's no helping those that won't help themselves. Then one too many contradictory sob stories makes you finally appreciate the truth of the statement "whores lie".

Learning this lesson the hard way tends to breed just a teensy bit of cynicism, which might account for the hard-hearted nature of some of these replies. In the final analysis, what is there to say about a girl who claims to be traumatised by sexual abuse in childhood, yet voluntarily submitted herself to the debasement of porn? A girl who claims depression at the prospect of being alone and unloved because of her work, but can't join the dots and realise that the answer is to get out of it as soon as possible? A wife who was f---ing other guys all the time, but then shocked to discover that her marriage is a sham? Yes, Del Toro is a scumbag, but ultimately it was her life decision to immerse herself in this world of scumbags. Only she can make the decision to get out. So in summary, your re-enactment idea sounds good to me.

I no longer want to be part of the problem. I want to be part of the solution. I want to start a non-profit non-denominational organization to save troubled souls in porn.

Either that or a polygamous cult.

Will you join me?

CelebDrive writes:

Well now let's see - I know a gal who was also molested by a family member as a youngster - she is now chief operating officer of a large corporation and is a friend as well. She earned her masters in business on her own - paid for her education working two shifts at a college pizza / beer joint for 4 years.

No family was present at her graduation - of course - she didn't grow up looking like Jenna Jameson - quite plain looking really - so she didn't use the obvious easy assets to get ahead - cause she didn't possess them - in her own mind anyway - but she is actually quite beautiful -and she kept her dignity, her honor and her ethics, in spite of the voices in her head that told her that she was damaged goods.

So yeah, after being around these whores for 30 years, I'm inclined to agree with the cynical male posters regarding this poor wayward girl, whatever her name is this week.

Haley Paige On Her Molestation And Rapes

From XPT:

Since you assholes focused on all the wrong s--- in that affadavit, Haley sent me this message to post:

first of all, the reason my uncle isnt in jail is because he died of alcohol poisoning, im sure it comes as no shock that he was an alcoholic for as long as anybody in my family knew him. the reason my parents never did anything about it was because he and my aunt providied a home for us when we were broke, which was often. to this day, my aunt doesnt know what went on under her own roof. as for my paernts, i dont understand why, but i guess they felt desperate and figured not having a roof over my head was worse than being molested. when i was raped by a gang member and his buddies, it was at gunpoint, and i know this is coming from a whore who no one really cares all that much about, but i just thought i should set the record straight.

XVod posts: "It's hard to imagine that there are guys working in this industry that are such scumbags that they will take advantage of drug-addicted, mentally unstable, love-starved performers to get them to do what they want."

Jeff Steward posts: "If the gang members you hang out with are raping you, at some point wouldn't it be wise to stop hanging with them?"

Soopergrizz posts:

If INS had launched an investigation, she likely wouldn't need to swear out an affidavit like this. I would suggest she is trying to get them to OPEN an investigation. Intersting that she's so pissed about a guy courting her and not f---ing her, than about gangs of guys f---ing her and NOT COURTING HER. Where's the affidavit for the child molestion against sick f--- uncle or the rapists whom she likely knows, since she was REPEATEDLY raped?

Hailey: Were your whore values instilled in you at an early age, what with you parents' tacit approval of your uncle molesting you in order to pay the rent? At Christmas time, did you buy your folks gifts or just f--- the butcher at the Piggly Wiggly to get a ham? If your parents ever get on a little firmer financial ground do you think you would stop having sex for money?

Smelly Monkey posts: "God sometimes sends us messages on paths to take in life, in this case with her pro incest molesting uncle, gang member rapes, addictive nature with drugs, black boyfriends who f--- her but don't want to be seen in public with her, luring her to befriend kami andrews and so on he might be pointing you in the direction of a fenceless cliff ledge."

It's times like these that make me feel we live in an unredeemed world.

Jon Dough (Chet Anuszek) Dead

AVN reports:

AVN Hall of Fame performer Jon Dough passed away on Sunday, Monique Demoan, his wife of 12 years told AVN.com. Dough was 43.

"I've been with [Jon] for 12 years. We have a four-year-old daughter," Demoan said. "We lived together. I found [Jon] yesterday. ... He did take his own life."

Hank Rose writes:

I remember Jon. He came into the biz with the nickname "Diamond Hard". How could a guy who got 100 women to himself in a reverse gangbang do himself in? But all this and he had that deer in the headlights look that Shawna Grant had. I can't explain it. The gaze of a lost puppy.

Away from the cameras I hear that he was a thrill seeker. As if the thrill of lay for pay in the playpen of the damned weren't enough. I had heard that he hit the skids several years back when his business investments went bust. That he was on the street. And now this. He was same age as me, which is frightening.

I find it sad that there's no widely heralded support group or system set up to council those in psychological trouble. Perhaps it's reserved for the starlets. If vet studs would just realize if they survived porn to find love then they've succeeded, then depression wouldn't set in. When all else fails, you find your happiness in love and never get stuck in the moment during hard times.

I remember crooning My Way at a FOXE show many years ago to salute the late Cal Jammer. Who will sing for the loss of Jon? And what song would it be? What would Jon pick as his musical epitaph? I wonder...

Greg Zeboray writes:

Chet’s death is a real tragedy and I hope it’s not yet another example of a porn suicide that is forgotten in a week.

While he acted tough as nails, the truth is that he was a very caring person who just wanted to be loved.

As most people know, he and his then-wife Martine [Deidre Holland] were my first porn clients (back in 1995) and I really liked them both. They were a great couple and great people. I felt really bad when they split up. My memories of them will always be the little beach cottage they bought in Dana Point and remodeled into a beautiful place, along with that big snake that lived in the bedroom. Unfortunately, with the divorce went the house and Chet's move back to the Valley followed.

I really believe Chet was happiest during the Dana Point years. He would go to the Valley to work a day or two a week, then come back to normalcy, doing things like surfing, spending time with Martine, and riding his motorcycle. Over the years, I had told him a few times that my hope – for his sake – would be that he’d move back down here so he could avoid the issues Porn Valley is famous for. Sadly, it didn't happen.

Chet remained - to the end - someone who I always looked forward to seeing or talking to. I knew he had some tough times, but I refused to let them affect how I felt about him.

May he rest in the peace that he so deserves!

Brandy Alexandre IMs me: "I met him early on in 1988 when he was just getting started and you had to be really careful with him because he hadn't learned control. I worked with him in Fantasy Girls when he used the name Chad Sanders. What a waste. It's always the good ones. Isn't it?"

I met Jon in 1996. We talked easily. We had a lot in common. We must've struck others as cynical, self-destructive and bipolar.

Even when many in the industry said I was the enemy, that never bothered Jon. He was too easy going, too unpretentious. "It's just porno," was his attitude.

We talked about books. Jon, who told me to call him by his real name Chet, loved the depressing author Charles Bukowski, an alcoholic and drug addict.

Jon became friendly with photographer Ian Gittler and helped him with his 1999 book Pornstar.

Gittler writes about Jon: "We were becoming friends...before I was the one who pulled back. ... Jon's willingness to be close -- our closeness -- made me uncomfortable." (pg. 166)

Ian met Jon in 1994.

Jon seems present, not distant and aloof...

In a matter of minutes we know a lot about each other, kind of phase out everything around us.

...He says, "Man, you're a cool guy. You know, you definitely know. We have to talk more."

It might sound silly, but the way he says it in his deep, calm voice makes me feel grounded, less alone in this world of bored, inaccessible porn people. In three years, he's the first male star to tell me anything about his insides, to show his feelings. (pg. 104)

[January 1996 at CES.] ...I find a pair of wraparound shades staring back at me from a head or so above the crowd. It's Jon Dough, grinning. I make my way through the crush. His smiles broadens as I near. He pulls his sunglasses off.

"Man, Ian. I'm happy to see you," he says. Then, "Are you bored yet?" in a tone that assumes I must be, that says he is. He looks much trendier than he did summer '94: He has a Caesar cut, a goatee, an expensive-looking casual T-shirt, and earrings in both ears. (pg. 155)

...Jon is a total insider, a ten-year veteran, but he stands next to me, watching from the outside, too, in a way. (pg. 156)

"Every guy I meet is jealous of me. And they all think I'm pathetic. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I could die tomorrow. I'm not gonna build a life around some idea that everything lasts forever.

"That's why I'm not gonna have kids, a family, why I don't want that. Tomorrow I could hit a wall on my Harley. My parachute could f--- up when I jump out of a plane." (pg. 157)

"My mom has this black guy named Bobcat Jones move in with us. He was bad. Over time there were rapes in my house. My brother and I -- he was seven and I was eight -- we wanted to kill him." (pg. 163)

"So when I was fifteen, my mom sent me to live with another one of her relatives. He was this forty-five-year-old gay guy with money.

"He would sit on the edge of the bed and coo at me. He would say 'I adore you.' It was bizarre. We didn't do anything, though."

Jon doesn't want me -- or anyone -- to think there's on gay molecule in him, that there's any sexual ambiguity there whatsoever... (pg. 164)

"Since I don't do drugs anymore, I find that high somewhere else," Jon says. "Every second of the day I have to fight some part of myself that's self-destructive. Ian -- every second."

Jon tells me that on one recent afternoon he did a scene with a new girl. When they were through they got on his Harley, and Jon got it up to 105 miles per hour on the freeway. He says he almost lost it at one curve but kept going anyway. (pg. 165)

Shortly before its release, Jon Dough's Gang-Bang 101 was retitled The World's Luckiest Man.

Fester Sam writes on IMDB.com: "Jon Dough directs himself in every man's fantasy. Over a hundred hot ladies who need stuffed! Filmed at a mansion, Jon undergoes fem therapy while playing tennis, cooking, etc. The scene where he is at the grill giving out free sausage is just great. Jon, you are the MAN!"

Jon was often wild and self-destructive. He'd do crazy stuff on his motorcycle and have accidents. He'd do drugs and alcohol to excess. He married the fiery Monique Demoan. They had a baby. He said it settled him down. He said he didn't party as much.

I think the last time I saw him was at the March 10, 2005 Britney Rears party. I snapped this picture of him with his wife:

In 1999, I concluded an online biography of Jon Dough thus:

During 1996, Jon relapsed to his wild and wanton ways during his relationship with the unstable and dangerous Monique DeMoan.

While under the influence of alcohol in the Spring, he bruised and blackened his face in a motorcycle accident. Soon after Dough split from DeMoan and resumed his Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Jon wants nothing on his tombstone. He'd rather be cremated. What has been his contribution to life? "Nothing. It's the same with most people. We all walk around thinking we're so important. This business is no different from the real Hollywood. They're not contributing anything to anybody. And I know it gets on their consciences too. That's why they do these phony benefits to put their souls at ease. But they know that what they do is bull. None of us are philanthropists like Andrew Carnegie."

Jon developed performance problems, relapsed into drug problems in late 1996, left his contract with Vivid Video and eventually left porn. He reemerged as an Extreme Associates contract boy in early 1999 but had performance problems and left in an angry dispute in March, 1999.

The Terrorist Who Hit Me

Heidi Peterson, the ex-porn girl, emails me:

Here are the current pictures of Samer Abu Thoriah (the Palestinian terrorist) who hit me on the head and gave me a concussion. I have a lot to comment on these pictures but I won't waste your time. I am sure you can deduce your own ideas.

The question is how did he get the promotion to Germany. In Yemen he could not even afford a car.

On my birthday Sept 20, 2002, the US Military tricked me into a birthday party which was an interogation. At this time they told me I was working for Al Quieda who they claim is the AL Ahmar family. Today NDI headed by Madiline Albright is working with Abdullah Al Ahmar, Hameed's father.

Now when the media makes fun of these guys thinking to get virgins after death you see they collect more then that on the earth. He is remarkable his power over woman. He also has a cruel and bloody nature. Since I know that he is criminal but not to what extent, he is more open to express his sadistic side which is not just towards woman but to men. More to men, and I think Germany gave him...more access to women and freedom than he would have been permitted under Islamic rule.

Future Porn Star

Matt of MattsModels.com writes:

She just kept making me laugh, because she is so sexy. Super sexy IS funny to me. Some women have magneticism which turns men into Jello. Its not just looks, its looks PLUS the insight into mens fantasies. Lena is 18 years old and has already figured out men COMPLETELY. She knows what I want, what you want and what other men with different fantasies want. Apparently she had "lessons" from former authority figures. Now I don't know if anything she told me about her sex life was true, but the stories would make some damn good scripts for Porn flicks.

The Art of the Interview

Harry Patel writes on ADT:

You need to talk less, listen more, and stop interrupting so much and interjecting your own remarks. (It's supposed to be Porn Star Podcast, not Skronker Podcast, right?) You ask too many questions which either go on and on and eventually become statements, or which are phrased in such a way as to suggest what you think the answer is supposed to be. (Sit down and listen to that Penny Flame interview all the way through if you don't believe me about any of this. Oh, and whatever it was you were drinking before/during that interview, don't drink any more of that when you're going to be doing an interview. Geeeeez. Laugh at your own jokes much?) Ask concise, open-ended questions, and just let your subjects answer them. If the answers aren't interesting, then so be it. (But most of the interviews have been interesting in one way or another.)

TheLoneGunman writes to Monstar: "Chewing gum while giving an interview isn't the most professional way to conduct one...then again, the interviewee masturbating isn't par for the course, either."

Jenna Jameson - Tito Ortiz

From the Las Vegas Review Journal: The Jenna Jameson-Tito Ortiz romance, first revealed here earlier this month, continues to sizzle. The porn queen and the ultimate fighter showed up at Tao (The Venetian) at midnight Friday and left arm in arm about 2 a.m. after some dancing. They had the fight crowd buzzing Saturday when they settled into their ringside seats before the Chuck Liddell-Babalu Sobral battle at Mandalay Bay. Teased about making the gossip pages, Ortiz, the former UFC light heavyweight champ, told my Eye Spy: "I'm going to have a lot more gossip pretty soon."...

An Interview With My Attorney

Aria Giovanni, Justin Levine at my 40th birthday party May 29 Aria, Justin

I interview my attorney Justin Levine (Levine2001@aol.com) August 25, 2006.

Justin, who has an older brother and sister: "I grew up in Phoenix. I wanted to be a film director. In highschool, I mainly hung out with drama geeks. I had one steady girlfriend."

Luke: "Why did you go to law school?"

Justin: "I had been fired from one job in television post-production. I had another job at a talent agency that wasn't working out. Like a lot of people, I didn't know what to do with my life."

Luke: "What do you love and hate about being an attorney?"

Justin: "I love that I can help my friends when I want to. It allows me to psychologically punch back when certain people are talking down to me, perhaps not aware that I have a law degree. You have arrogant people out there who thrive on having information that other people don't have access to.

"I did not find law school difficult. It is the kind of thing that anyone can do if they apply themselves. Unfortunately, there's a system in place, the bar associations, which limit the practice of law. Given that you are dealing with the third branch of government, it should be more of an open practice. I enjoy fighting for free speech.

"That said, if I were stuck at a big law firm, I'd be miserable."

Luke: "What was your role in the Sydney Blumenthal vs. Matt Drudge libel suit?"

Justin: "During law school, I worked as a clerk for David Horowitz's Individual Rights Foundation. It took a lot of cases pro bono.We had gotten the Blumenthal vs. Drudge case. At the time, Drudge was much like you, sitting in a room with few resources, and here he was being sued by one of the top advisors to the president. I was put on researching libel defense and personal jurisdiction. Blumenthal was suing Drudge in Washinton D.C. Drudge lived in Los Angeles. Did Drudge have enough minimum contacts in Washington to allow him to be sued there?

"After I passed the bar, there was down time in the Drudge case. I left the Individual Rights Foundation to take a job at Paramount. Shortly thereafter, the case settled."

Luke: "How was your year working for Playboy?"

Justin: "It was cool having Playboy magazines around and the email justin@playboy.com holds cachet. There was nothing special about it beyond that. I never made it to the Playboy mansion."

Luke: "How long have you worked in talk radio?"

Justin: "Close to ten years. I'm one of three producers on the Bill Handel morning show on KFI. That involves consulting with Bill on the topic selection. If a complex is meaty, I might gather the most salient facts. It's also tracking down guests and convincing them to come on. It's also dealing with fan mail and hate mail and updating the KFI640.com website.

"I used to screen for the Matt Drudge show [Sunday nights].

"I had an ex-girlfriend who worked in the building. We weren't getting along. She complained about me, that I said hello to her and talked to her. She did not want me speaking to her. Near the end, that became fine with me. Unfortunately, the management decided to take her word for it and disregard my end of the story. It was a trumped up way to get rid of me because I was making more money than they really wanted to pay me."

A Blockbuster Year For God

Smelly Monkey writes on XPT:

I really like the women of porn for more then just the performances they give on camera. They do stupid things and love attention which is great for cynical perverts like myself. Im going to share some of my favorite pornstar moments over the past few months but im hoping this thread has an AA meeting feel about it and others feel the urge to step forward with their favorite memories.

1. Whores turn to god: It was a blockbuster year for god this season, he managed to snap up quite a few high priced free agent whores to walk the earth in his image, first sky lopez was the first to jump cock for god, then porsha blaze, then that b grade chick who used to post here and finally landing his up and coming star in jessi summers who was on the verge of becoming big. Jessi and sky's myspace blogs when they first became born agains were fantastic reading. I can remember jessi saying something about being a drug addict and passing out at her mom's best friends house where she left her for 2 days and jessi getting upset that she didn't take her to the hospital and god has shown her a different path, it made me tread back over some her scenes...you could see such sadness in her eyes, her dignity robbed as the kids with the camera phones would lean them under her as she was getting pounded by some guy fresh off the banana boat, her being aware of the situation and counting the seconds , begging for castro to hurry up and blow, realizing her mistake and that her dignity is worth far more then the $650 shes being paid for the scene, (hes eaten my pussy, ive blown him, we've done two positions, just one more position and the cumshot and i can go home, theres no place like home), Who am i to mock I too have found god, my path involved L-ke F-rd, mel gibson and brandon irons.

Stephanie Swift Returns To Porn Through Exotic Star Models

I thought she was out. I thought she was in college. I thought she had vowed to never return to porn.

The former Wicked girl has been dancing at Spearmint Rhino and assorted places the past few years.

Poker mags put their foot down on David Williams "foot fetish" controversy

He may love feet, old swinging married broads and waving his wand where some of us wouldn't dare tread. But magician and professional poker player David Williams 15 minutes of fame in the world of "foot fetish" porn hasn't gone unnoticed by those web sites that specialize in reporting on that particular field.

ESPN reports:

Is there a career as an adult film actor in Williams' past? "No,'' he said, "but I would if I could. If I wasn't in a role-model position like now, I wouldn't care. Porn is porn. I like chicks. I've been seen around with some hot chicks. But I'm in the public eye. A lot of people have kids coming up to me. I don't have the option to do those kind of things. I would if I wasn't in kind of a role-model position. "They say it was me. And if it was me, I'm not shy. All my friends who know me say, 'If that was Dave, he would've said it was him.'''

David Williams signed with Bodog.com whose owner, Calvin Ayers, appeared on the cover of Forbes, and was arrested in Costa Rica. (Bodog just signed Jamie Gold, winner of the World Series of Poker Main Event 2006.)

Williams is said to be dating porn star Carmella Bing. She has David listed #9 in his friends list. David lists Carmella as one of his favorites. More.

Carmella Bing writes on MySpace June 18:

Ive been getting a lot of emails asking if thats me on erosguide.com (escort website), as well as calls from that website asking if Im the real Porn Star Carmella Bing! Yes, it is me. I am available for bachelor Partys in Vegas. My girlfriends and I love to get together for a "Porn Star Experiance" whether its a bachelor party, guys weekend in Vegas, or simply a private affair. My rates are different for couples, dom and multiple girls, so please enquire!

Joanna Angel Scares Suze.net Members

There's a thread on suze.net where various members complain about Joanna.

Hammer posts:

She actually has quite a pretty face, but Joanna doesn't do a thing for me. All those tattoos, that pasty white skin and so very skinny. To each is own. But for me? Thanks but no thanks. She is scary, not sexy. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer women with curves, no "skin illustrations," looking beautiful and feminine in stockings and heels.

Holly IMs me:

Keep in mind that our members tend to opt for the more Playboy style girls-- blonde hair and big boobs. Joanna's look is great, but just different from what they normally expect. You could also add in the positive comment from a member:

I know I'll be in the minority here - but I dig Joanna!! Nice -TIGHT- ALL NATURAL -BOD - Pretty face, dark locks. I love the 'ink' too!! I hope some of the smut mags want more of her; which would then persuade Holly and gang to shoot more of her!! Good Stuff.

AVN Editor Mike Ramone emails:

Holly, you could also add in a positive comment from me too. I think Joanna is extremely hot (love the tats, not just on her, but on all female performers who have ‘em; very sexy), one of the nastiest female sexual performers around, a talented director and most definitely a contender for a Female Performer of the Year nomination. Btw Hammer, Joanna frequently wears heels, big black shiny f--kers, and looks smokin’ in `em.

AVN's Peter Warren emails: "Not only is Joanna hot, she's scary smart and an all-around good person, too. Paul Fishbein has repeatedly said he expects her to become a very big star, and I concur."

Holly's ADT Podcast

Da Milkman writes on Suze.net: "I thought it was funny how the interviewer was asking really basic questions but he asked them in such a long, rambling, complicated way - it's like he just couldn't spit it out."

The shorter the question, the better.

Whatever Happened To Alexus Winston?

Holly Randall writes on suze.net:

Alexus Winston used to be a very close friend of mine, but she's been dating a ridiculously rich multi-millionare for the last few years and trying to break into mainstream acting. The original clique was me, Aria Giovanni, Aimee Sweet, Justine, Sunny Leone, and Alexus. Though the rest of us are still good friends, none of us hear from Alexus anymore.

Whatever Happened To Holly Randall?

She posts on XPT:

Aww I'm touched you've noticed my absence. Actually I had a few bad days last week, so I kinda shut myself out from everything for a bit. But I'm feeling much better now. It's funny because I let my garden get overgrown and die, and seeing it in that condition-- well it felt like a physical representation of my state of mind at the point. So Sunday I spent four hours pulling out dead plants, weeding, and replanting, and now it looks, and I feel, much better. It's strange but clearing my garden made me feel like I had cleared my head. I wish I'd taken a "before and after" shot, but I only took an "after" picture.

Forbes: "Wife or whore? The choice is that simple."

Wives, in truth, are superior to whores in the economist's sense of being a good whose consumption increases as income rises--like fine wine. This may explain why prostitution is less common in wealthier countries. But the implication remains that wives and whores are--if not exactly like Coke and Pepsi--something akin to champagne and beer. The same sort of thing.

Here's the complete article by Michael Noer of Forbes, which Forbes.com has removed from its website:

Wife or whore? The choice is that simple. At least according to economists Lena Edlund and Evelyn Korn, it is. The two well-respected economists created a minor stir in academic circles a few years back when they published "A Theory of Prostitution" in the Journal of Political Economy. The paper was remarkable not only for being accepted by a major journal but also because it considered wives and whores as economic "goods" that can be substituted for each other. Men buy, women sell. Economists have been equating money and marriage ever since Nobel Prize-winning economist Gary Becker published his seminal paper "A Theory of Marriage" in two parts in 1973 and 1974--also, not coincidentally, in the Journal of Political Economy.

Becker used market analysis to tackle the questions of whom, when and why we marry. His conclusions? Mate selection is a market, and marriages occur only if they are profitable for both parties involved. Becker allowed nonmonetary elements, like romantic love and companionship, to be entered into courtship's profit and loss statement. And children, in particular, were important.

"Sexual gratification, cleaning, feeding and other services can be purchased, but not children: Both the man and the woman are required to produce their own children and perhaps to raise them," he wrote.

But back to whores: Edlund and Korn admit that spouses and streetwalkers aren't exactly alike. Wives, in truth, are superior to whores in the economist's sense of being a good whose consumption increases as income rises--like fine wine. This may explain why prostitution is less common in wealthier countries.

But the implication remains that wives and whores are--if not exactly like Coke and Pepsi--something akin to champagne and beer. The same sort of thing. As with Becker, a key differentiator in Edlund and Korn's model is reproductive sex. Wives can offer it, whores can not.

To be fair, Edlund and Korn were merely building an admittedly grossly simplified model of human behavior in an attempt to answer a nagging question: Why do hookers make so much money? Prostitution is, seemingly, a low-skill but high-pay profession with few upfront costs, micro-miniskirts and stiletto heels aside.

Yet according to data assembled from a wide variety of times and places, ranging from mid-15th-century France to Malaysia of the late 1990s, prostitutes make more money--in some cases, a lot more money--than do working girls who, well, work for a living. This held true even for places where prostitution is legal and relatively safe. In short, streetwalkers aren't necessarily being paid more for their increased risk of going to jail or the hospital.

Notwithstanding Jerry Hall's quip when she was married to Mick Jagger, about being "a maid in the living room and a whore in the bedroom," one normally cannot be both a wife and a whore. "Combine this with the fact that marriage can be an important source of income for women, and it follows that prostitution must pay better than other jobs to compensate for the opportunity cost of forgone-marriage market earnings," Edlund and Korn conclude. Ouch.

Another zinger: "This begs the question of why married men go to prostitutes (rather than buying from their wives, who presumably will be low-cost providers, considering that they can sell nonreproductive sex without compromising their marriage)."

Guys, nothing says "Happy Valentine's Day" more than "low-cost provider."

Of course, it's easy to pour cold water on some of the assumptions made in Edlund and Korn's mathematical model. But these so-called "stylized facts" are supposed to predict human behavior; they don't necessarily pretend to mirror it. In particular, the assumption that there is no "third way" between wife and whore is problematic, if not outright offensive: "The third alternative, working in a regular job but not marrying, can be ruled out, since we assume that the only downside of marriage for a woman is the forgone opportunity for prostitution." Be sure to let all your married friends know what they're missing. A

lso, the emphasis on the utility of children is puzzling. In most Western democracies, fertility rates have plummeted as wealth has increased. Empirically, men not only buy fewer whores as they get richer, but they have fewer children. Still, the economic analysis of marriage explains one age-old phenomenon: gold digging. "In particular, does our analysis justify the popular belief that more beautiful, charming and talented women tend to marry wealthier and more successful men?" wrote Becker.

His answer: "A positive sorting of nonmarket traits with nonhuman wealth always, and with earnings power, usually, maximizes commodity output over all marriages." In other words, yes, supermodels do prefer aging billionaires. And Gary Becker proved it mathematically decades before The Donald married Melania.

Eye On Adult vs XBiz vs. AVN

Scott McGowan blogs:

As I was cruising the adult news sites, dirt sheets and blogs this morning, I came across a staggering article on Xbiz.com about how a conservative action group, Citizens for Community Values (CCV), took out ads in USA Today calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to point obscenity investigations towards suppliers of adult movies in hotel rooms. In particular, two companies were named in the ads- LodgeNet and OnCommand.

Wait a second. Something about this sounds familiar. Where did I hear this before? Oh, that's right! Mark Kernes over at AVN wrote about this two.. weeks ago when it happened. Of course, I followed up with my commentary a day later.

Glad to know you're on the case, Xbiz.

XBiz first wrote about the mail campaign (but not the ads) on July 31, eight days before Mark's piece.

Scott McGowan emails me:

I don't single out Xbiz in my criticisms of adult news media. I have a track record of hating pretty much all of the established adult news outlets equally, including lukeisback.com. Well, I suppose that's not entirely true. I actually kind of like Xbiz. The only reason I picked on them yesterday is because I expect better from them. Everyone else... well I just kind of expect them to suck out loud.

Tommy writes:

I am entertained by the criticism offered toward XBiz. I think everyone knows the AVN machine has lost a step. It is discussed often among the community and with the amazing response XBiz has in terms of credibility, in conjunction with a refreshing, friendly, unentitled approach they have to really work with compnaies to build relationships, I think they are here to stay.

The snide remarks only look like people who are too close to the flame over at AVN getting nervous that the heard is moving to a new pasture where they will not have the same amount of influence, respect, leverage etc. The format is slick, the news is well written, and instead of bullying, they are accomodating. I see nothing but good things coming out of the newest rag in the biz, and if you had to place a bet, XBiz would be the odds favorite right now.

The herd likes to be treated like pretty special people. They like to see a publication that remionds them of "Hollywood", and they like to get the VIP treatment. XBiz is going bigger, the forum they sponsored was a success and with the film publication now a success too, the brand is getting as much awareness as AVN.

I am sure AVN will not dry up and blow away but they are going to have the first contender since they launched to do battle with. The end result will be two publications that will be humble, and more competitive with pricing and what they can do to cover the community at large.

Martin Del Toro's Affidavit Against Haley Paige

From XPT:

I, Csaba Marton declare:

1. I am the Respondent in this action, and make this declaration in support of my opposition to Petitioner's motion for an order of nullity based on alleged fraud, and for attorney's fees and costs.

2. Actually, I filed for dissolution first against Ms. Haley on June 17, 2006. She was not served until July 16, 2006 because I could not find her.

3. In general, my marriage to Ms. Haley was legitimate and not based on fraud.

4. On April 17, 2005 I met Ms. Haley. I was a director of, and she was an actress in an adult movie. We were interested in each other, and dated for about five months before I moved in with her in September 2005. At that time she lived in a one-bedroom apartment at 11125, Acama Street, North Hollywood, California. Around the time we moved in together, we opened a joint bank account. A true and correct copy of a check from that account is attached as Ex. 2.

5. From the beginning, I was always honest with her about my immigration status. I never told her I was here legally. I told her that I had overstayed my visa, and was taking steps to become a U.S. citizen. It was our mutual decision to get married, and we did so on October 15, 2005. I never rushed Ms. Haley into getting married, it was by mutual decision because we wanted to. Attached as Ex. 3 is a photograph of me and Ms. Haley that was shot in our apartment the day after we were married.

6. Ms. Haley and I discussed the marriage well before it took place. We agreed that we were getting married for love, but agreed to sign a premarital agreement. We both went to a paralegal service and had an agreement prepared which we signed on October 7, 2005. A true and correct copy is attached as Ex. 4.

7. Our marriage was consummated numerous times and there is no issue about that.

8. I have reviewed Ms. Haley's declaration and it is not entirely correct. Paragraph 12 of her declaration is true, though we both decided to get married at the beach as a romantic gesture. Paragraph 13 is not correct because we lived together in her apartment for at least one month before we got married.

9. Our marriage ended in April 2006, six months after we were married on October 15, 2005 because of Ms. Haley's addiction to painkillers and other drugs. When I became aware of her addiction, I encouraged her to attend meetings at Narcotic Anonymous ("NA"). Paragraph 17 of her declaration is not correct. She states we separated November 23, 2005. Actually, we put the utilities in the apartment in both our names in February 2006 and attended a meeting together at the INS office on March 7, 2006. Based on our meeting with an INS officer I was given a two year green card.

10. We did live as a married couple for six months. I did not have a "girlfriend" during this time. I did remain friends with a Ms. Miklos who is also Hungarian and a friend from long ago.

11. The assertions in paragraph 22 of Ms. Haley's declaration are not true. She is quoting from Hungarian tabloids a bunch of a nonsense that was written about me and my ex-wife, Sarolta Zaltnay. Ms. Zaltnay was (and still is) an actress, singer, and celebrity in Hungary. The tabloids there (as in the U.S.) frequently write lies and other sensational nonsense about celebrities to sell magazines. None of it is true.

Hailey Page's affidavit:

I was born on December 30, 1981 and am a citizen of the United States of America.

I met Csaba Marton, a Hungarian-born citizen, in May 2005 at an adult movie shoot where he worked as a cameraman. He seemed to take a particular liking to me and continued to hire me for more work.

On my third shoot, he asked me out on a date. After three weeks of dating and intimate relations, he brought up the subject of marriage. He asked, “What do you think about marriage? Do you think about getting married? What do you think about us getting married?” At that time I believed I was in love and I had never fallen in love so quickly before. He insisted that he would not judge me for my job, saying, “I don’t care about you doing porn. It’s not a big deal if you do black guys, do gays or gangbangs”. I had been depressed since I felt that no one could ever love me if they knew about my occupation. I was prepared to accept his marriage proposal and grew more attracted to him as I began to trust and love him wholeheartedly.

During our period of courtship, I was not aware of Csaba’s illegal alien status as he never gave me any indication of his immigration problems. He persuaded me to believe he was acting on pure love and our relations would have no bearing on his immigration proceedings. He told me that he was famous in Hungary and was in good standing with U.S. immigration. He said he was not an illegal alien and had only a few more months to go before he would receive his greencard.

I accepted his marriage proposal with good faith and sincerely believed we would spend our lives together in every aspect that holy matrimony ordinarily offers. I told my friends I was in love as Csaba treated me like a princess, from the way he spoke to me to how he acted around me. He told me he had never met anymore more beautiful and for the first time in my life, I felt like a teenager in love. However, Csaba told me that I shouldn’t tell anyone we were dating and contemplating marriage. He didn’t want anyone to know about his personal business.

I respected his decision since I wanted to be loved and craved his affection. Growing up, I had never received much love or affection. I was molested by an uncle, which my parents knew about but never did anything. At school, I raped consistently by gang members. As a result of these traumatic experiences, I went into counseling for two months. In addition, my last boyfriend prior to Csaba was verbally, emotionally, mentally and physically abusive, only compounding my psychological distress.

During our dating period, he became very controlling, demanding to know who my friends were and whom I went out with. He did not like my friend Stephanie very much because she saw his possessive characteristics. In turn, he introduced me to his friends, essentially the people in the adult entertainment industry. A select few people knew that I was his girlfriend but most people did not even realize we were dating. I respected his request for privacy even though gossip of our relationship would not have affected our work.

Csaba told me he had been married before to a famous Hungarian singer (Sarolta Zalatnay) and that the marriage ended approximately four to five years ago. He said he had been living in the U.S. for seven years.

When we had dated for about two and a half months, Csaba told me suddenly something had happened and we needed to get married within one month; otherwise, we would have to wait over two years to get married. When I questioned him for specific reasons, he explained it as merely a “timing thing”. Getting married would actually be detrimental to his greencard application, he told me, but he was still willing to take that risk and marry me. I had no knowledge of immigration regulations and trusted him wholeheartedly. I had no reason not to trust him since at that time, he had never lied to me (to my knowledge). He asked me to find someone convenient to marry us as soon as possible as he kept saying, “I can’t wait to be your husband”. At that point, I wanted to be his wife and believed that at some time in the near future, we would have a big celebration with family and friends. He instructed me not to tell anyone of our plans since he wanted the big affair to be perceived as the real thing. In addition, he planned to market it as the first pornographic wedding movie. When I did tell my parents and a few close friends, Csaba became extremely upset and ordered me not to tell anyone else.

On October 15, 2005, driving to Santa Monica, Csaba turned to me and said, “Let’s get married right now on the beach. Wouldn’t that be romantic?” I said, “yes” and was extremely happy about his idea. We contacted the Los Angeles marriage office and promptly bought wedding rings. Five hours later, with his cousin Tibor as witness and wearing jeans, sweatshirts and yellow sweats, we were married on Santa Monica beach by Minister Chris Robinson. Pictures of the wedding ceremony were taken by Tibor.

Our marriage was not consummated that evening. Csaba dropped me off at my apartment and told me he still had video editing to work on at his studio. I was devastated since in my mind I felt like this night should have been special. However, I could not say anything since I feared making him upset and angry.

The following day, he arrived at my place with all of his possessions (computer, clothes, dog, desk, DVDs, etc). Since my apartment consists only of 600 sq. feet, he took me to look at houses. Upon deciding on a house, he assured me he had enough money for the down payment. However, later on, he told me he wanted to save more money and buy a better house so we held off from purchasing a larger place.

We had signed a prenuptial agreement one week prior to our marriage to protect our assets. Upon moving into my apartment, Csaba never paid any of the bills. He did loan me money on two occasions to help with rent but I paid him back promptly. He said he was struggling with finances as he was still in debt and paying for his car. However, I genuinely believed our relationship was moving along as well as could be expected.

At this time, I was suffering from an addiction to painkillers that my doctor had prescribed. Csaba knew about my addiction and began giving me painkillers to keep my withdrawal symptoms away. I was taking painkillers to numb myself for video shoots and I did not know how to treat my addiction. Csaba told me that one of his friends had died from a painkiller overdose and he was now concerned about me.

The night before Thanksgiving, on November 23, 2005, Csaba met with a painkiller doctor/specialist and returned home to tell me that the doctor thought it would be better if I recover from my addiction alone. I was completed shocked and devastated at this announcement. One hour prior to this, with his knowledge, I had made plans to visit my mother and her new boyfriend for the first time to celebrate Thanksgiving in San Diego. He began moving most of his belongings out of the apartment that night and finished the day after while I was at work. We had lived together as a married couple for only a little more than a month before he announced his decision to move out.

During this time we had minimal contact and no intimate relations. I followed through with my sobriety plans in his absence. I wanted to be with him but he constantly excused himself as “unavailable”. I began to feel that he did not want me to sober up so that he would always have a reason to stay away and be able to make me feel guilty. He told me he had moved to his studios while we were separated.

I made plans for Christmas day in that he would come to my place and celebrate with since I did not think he had family in the area. I bought presents and wrapped them under the tree in anticipation of his visit. However, he did not show up and or even call for the week following Christmas. A week later, in January 2006, Csaba called to say that he was staying with his stepbrother Gabor who was going through a divorce. He explained Gabor was depressed and they had gone to Vegas for a week.

In February 2006, Csaba told me that we had to go to the INS for the “little interview”. He put on his best behavior during this time, asking for us to hang out and be friends again. He asked me, “Can I do anything for you? Let’s hang out and be pals”. However, there was still no intimacy between us. We have not shared a common residence since November 23, 2005 when Csaba moved out.

At that time, I was in denial and still hoped our marriage would be able to work. I was too scared to confront the truth as I was already emotionally and mentally devastated by his absence. I needed denial to stay sober as I struggled both with my addiction and my marriage. During my state of emotional distress and vulnerability, I was deceived by his many promises of reconciliation as he led me to believe that we may be able to save our marriage. With this falsehood, Csaba coerced me to agree to accompany him to his INS interview. At that time, I still held faith in our marital relations and believed our marriage continued to stand on authentic grounds of love and commitment.

We met with an attorney named Bernard Lurie a few weeks prior to the interview to be advised on what documents we needed. The lawyer said the immigration officials would not ask me any questions.

Prior to the interview date, Csaba called me while crying that he needed my help with taking more realistic wedding photos. Believing this would be an opportunity to spend time together and rekindle our love, I went along with his idea. I wanted to do everything right so he would love me again. The pictures were taken by his friend Kenny, depicting us in more traditional wedding garb from the waist up. We wore jeans which were not shown in the photos and I donned a fake “wedding veil” purchased from a costume store. We also took a picture at a nearby Starbucks where Csaba pretended to know someone at the restaurant Jerry’s Deli and persuaded this “friend” to take a picture with us “newlyweds”. He wanted to use this picture as evidence that he was introducing me to his friends as his wife.

I was persuaded to remain silent on the above matter as he convinced me I would face grave legal consequences if his interview did not proceed well since I was bound to him by marital relations. I had no knowledge of immigration regulations and feared his threats to be true.

The interview took place in February or March 2006 and we were accompanied by our lawyer. At the interview, Csaba brought our marriage certificate, joint bill, joint bank statement (Washington Mutual), photo album with the fake photos mentioned above, false wedding announcement cards, and false congratulation cards.

After the interview, I did not hear from Csaba for a month. I had been sober for almost six months by that time; yet he showed no intentions of resuming our relationship. Realizing that he was not returning, I was very upset and called him in mid-April to ask if our relationship was strictly for his immigration purposes. He replied, “I never lied to you. I have documents to prove that I was a legal citizen and that by marrying you, it made me harder to stay in the country”. I asked for copies of the documents but he refused to hand them over to me. Instead, Csaba offered me money if I would not seek divorce and keep silent on his immigration matters. I refused his monetary offer and since then, we have not had any contact or direct communication.

I have only now began to realize that my marriage was a complete sham, initiated and planned by Csaba solely for his immigration purposes. He never had any intention of staying in the marriage and saw our relations solely as a means to procure a permanent residency. There was no marital faithfulness as during our relationship, he secretly kept in contact with his previous Hungarian-born girlfriend who had obtained her own permanent residency through marriage to a U.S. citizen. Unbeknownst to me, Csaba designed our relationship to culminate in marriage and ultimately, his attainment of permanent residency in the U.S. In retrospect, I am greatly distressed by the manner in which I have been deceived and lied to.

I now realize the extreme depths to which my marriage was based on fraud and deception. My husband was never the person he portrayed himself to be as he lied about his immigration status and his Hungarian ties. I learned recently through an article printed on Transition Online, a European news website, that my husband was charged with fraud alongside his ex-wife in Hungary. The article states that he moved out to Los Angeles and in 2002, informed Hungarian authorities that he had a “medical condition” preventing him from returning to his home country to stand trial. From the day I met Csaba, he has never mentioned this part of his past as he gave all indications of a clean record. He never discussed this as a possible reason for his urgency to obtain permanent residency in the United States.

I am submitting to the U.S. Immigration Services this affidavit and supporting documentation for proper investigation in the validity of Csaba’s greencard. As painful as the experience has been for me, I realize this is no mere marital dispute or dissolution of marriage. Rather, in light of the fact that Csaba designed this marriage from the onset to obtain his permanent residency, his actions would constitute a serious violation of U.S. immigration and criminal laws.

I am deeply distressed that I was unknowingly exploited by my husband for my U.S. citizenship status. Nevertheless, I still firmly believe in the principles and values of the United States and feel bound by my duties as an American citizen to present this before the proper authorities for investigative action.

On Set With Annette Schwarz

Annette, 22, is from Germany. She did her first porn work on her 18th birthday.

Her agent is Mark Spiegler.

"How did you recruit her?"

"I've never recruited a girl," says Spiegler. "Rocco referred her to me."

I don't know why Spiegler works as a porn agent. He doesn't need the money. He doesn't make any money from his work (he gives the proceeds of Spieglergirls to a partner/assistant).

I don't know why but Annette does not like to talk about the Jews and the Nazis and the Holocaust.

She has a boyfriend in Germany. He knows about her work in porn and does not like it.

Luke: "What do you think it [porn] has done to her soul?"

Rob Spallone (who was recently in Las Vegas, Palm Springs, San Diego and is going back to Vegas as well as Arizona and New York in Florida): "What has it done to her pussy? A soul is when you die."

Luke: "Her soul is tarnished every you take a camera and expose her privacy."

Rob: "Bull. That's if you tie her up and she has tears rolling down her face and make-up rolling down her face and she's saying, 'I don't want to do this.'"

Porner about Rob: "He's not Jim Lane."

Rob says to Annette: "Do you do black guys?"

Annette: "Yes. You asked me that last time. I hate to think of you teaching your kids -- nigger!"

Annette says I look like her boyfriend in Germany.

Rob: "I would kill you [for doing porn] if you were my girlfriend."

Annette: "I like him."

Rob: "Then stop doing porn."

Annette: "I like it."

Rob: "You like the money.

"He likes to make love. You like to f---. I've got it."

Cameraman Kenny Carolina instructs Annette to talk dirty in German during her scene.

She responds: "It feels weird to talk dirty in your own language? Can I do in English?"

Yes.

Kenny says Porn Star Karoke has lost its pizzaz. "I want to start a Porn Star Cafe," he says. "No normal people allowed. Only deviants. 'Come here and lose your soul.'"

One black girl in the business only does anal.

The November issue of Los Angeles magazine will feature a profile of 18 year old porn star Sasha Grey. She might also be in the Rolling Stone Hot issue.

On Sunday, Rob Spallone went to the Del Mar race track near San Diego. "I've never seen so many pretty women. They've got money. When they've got money, they're even prettier. Just the way they dress.

"Lover Man is the Tiger Woods of race horses," says Rob. "He's black too. He hasn't lost yet."

Spallone dropped about $5,000 Sunday.

Rob's about to shoot his fifth scene of Pierre, a 50 yo (?) Canadian who works in Saudi Arabia. Pierre has a colostomy bag. The scenes are not distributed. They are for Pierre's private collection.

Spallone sounds like he's going on a vacation to jail soon. I get the feeling he'll serve a few months. I don't know what that's about.

Rob: "Four years ago, I get a call from my dad. He and my mom had been away. When they got home, one of the neighbors said that the FBI was there looking for a girl. The only person that lived there was me and Leah [Rob's ex-girlfriend].

"Two days later, my father says, 'The FBI called. They left their number.' They asked if I knew a girl. I said, 'I shoot Adult movies. If I shot a girl yesterday, I don't remember who she is today.'

"They said, 'You shot her a few years ago with a bunch of bums.'

"I said, 'I remember the movie. I sold the movie to VCA. She was a star in England.

"She [is accused] of trying to sell her [11 yo?] kid's virginity on the internet.

"Four days later, Scotland Yard called up.

"My name was used in an article in a tabloid. Would I have something to do with that, Luke?"

Luke: "If there was good money in it."

I talk about a tender love scene (between a married couple around 40 yo, they have kids) with a Hollywood screenwriter. In the background, Sergio sodomizes Annette.

"You want to taste your ass," Sergio taunts.

"I want to taste my s----- ass," Annette whimpers.

"That's how I want you to write the tender love scene," says the screenwriter. "Have him do it to his wife while she's in a handstand."

I walk inside and upraid Rob. "Why are you having them do ATM?"

Rob: "I'm shooting a porno. You want me to have them do a snowball instead?"

Luke: "I don't know what that is and I don't want to know."

Rob's shooting a MILF line for LFP.

Spiegler had a 20 year old girl who was featured on a MILF site as 37.

Second scene of the day features the British husband and wife Celestia Star and Johnny Cobalt.

Rob Spallone calls me angry. "Dan Beck aired 30 movies from a friend of mine. He's supposed to pay $450 for airing each movie. Dan says there's been breach of contract and he doesn't have to pay the $13,000. I'm going to New York to collect. Anybody who has been ripped off by Dan Beck should contact me -- robspallone at AOL.com."

Using Nearly Nude Pictures, Child Sex Sites Test Laws

Kurt Eichenwald writes in The New York Times:

In the photograph, the model is shown rising out of a bubble bath, suds dripping from her body. Her tight panties and skimpy top are soaked and revealing. She gazes at the viewer, her face showing a wisp of a smile that seems to have been coaxed from off-camera.

In just over seven months, the model has become an online phenomenon. She has thousands of fans from around the world, membership lists show, who pay as much as $30 a month to see images of her. According to the posted schedule, new photographs of her — many clearly intended to be erotic, all supposedly taken that week — are posted online every Friday for her growing legions of admirers.

The model’s online name is Sparkle. She is — at most — 9 years old.

Hollywood Mafia

Kenny Gallo writes:

I spoke about the sidework the girls did with Elana in New York. They did not all just work in NY. Elana had them working in Philly, Boston and in Los Angeles. LA was easy because most of the girls lived in LA. The whole sidework gig is easy because they do not have to sit in a makeup chair and wait an hour or so for their make up and hair to be done. Then they would have to sit around until their part was ready to be shot. That is to much work!

I work with Chuck Martino aka Cousin Philmore Butts and we had fun. He planned fun shoots and he shot stuff the people wanted to see. Our Tampa trip was one of our best shoots. We had been there a couple of days. This girls Pimp, I forget his name takes us to a stripbar. There is a girl on stage dancing. The guy points her out and Chuck speaks to her. The next thing I know we are across the street in the stairway of a parking garage shooting a scene! It was fast! This girl would be named Farrah by Chuck. A couple of days later we headed down to Fort Lauderdale to film. We rented a car and the next thing I know Chuck is f---ing Farrah in the car as we head down the turnpike. Chuck was fun Buck Adams was just funny.. Buck always had to make these huge 35mm films. They would have large sets and locations and have lots of dialogue. He was always shooting this girl named Rebecca Wild because he was in love with her. Rebecca would have nothing to do with him off set, so he cast her in shoot after shoot. He made a film about the dead star Savannah which starred Rebecca. Then Buck got hooked on XXX Vivid Girl Kelly Jaye so he would film her all the time. At one shoot down in Malibu Kelly Jaye laid down in my buddies van to get out of the gated set. Buck was looking all over for her. She ended up staying the night with Pill in the OC. Poor Kelly Jaye. She was with the guy from PennFund Usa and the SEC and Irs took her home and all her cash.... She was on Elana's list.

Friday, August 18th Post about Paola Rey

Sean Foster, Managing General Partner Paola Rey Enterprises P.O. BOX 7304 #438 North Hollywood, CA 91603 www.PaolaReyXXX.com, writes Aug 18:

Luke,

Your post earlier today about Paola attacking Keith O'Connor was not based on fact and I would like you to post a retraction and clear up a few points.

1) Calling Paola (not Paolo - like you printed it) a hooker is slander and without merit - please apologize and retract that statement.

2) Paola speaks English very well. And her writing skills are even better. If you had done any research at all, you would have come across the fact that she was a linguist and teacher in Brasil and has studied English. She also speaks her native Portugeuse, Spanish and Italian. The post on TER was written entirely by her - please retract your statements about her English and the post she wrote.

3) She does have a very good, high-profile lawyer in NYC who would love to have a go at you, so I suggest you do what I'm asking. And he had nothing to do with the post on TER.

4) She did do porn over a year ago and stopped when 2257 became a bigger issue. She did work with Keith, but the site he built, ClubPaolaRey.com, he did so for himself and for his profit only. He stole diary entries and other content from her "official" website, PaolaRetXXX.com, and never gave her anything in return. He also committed fraud when he promised new content, "custom" content and chats with Paola to his subscribers and potential subscribers, plus promoting his site as the official website of Paola Rey. This made Paola look bad to her fans and she's having to do a lot of PR to clear her name and reputation.

I will expect to see a retraction and the correct information in the next blog you post, plus deleting your original entry from the archives.

Thanks, in advance, for your cooperation.

Sean Foster

Well, Sean, maybe you are right and she did write that post. Now that I think about it, her English may be pretty damn good. Her post just sounded like it was written by a lawyer.

As for Paola being a hooker, of course she is. If she was not, why would she be posting on a hooker's board such as The Erotic Review?

Besides, all porn stars are hookers. They perform sex for money.

As for Paola's beef with Keith, I'm glad it is being made public and people can get the information and decide who was in the wrong.

As for Paola's "very good, high-profile lawyer in NYC who would love to have a go at you," unless he's licensed in California, I don't think there's anything he can do to me. But either way, that's very amusing. I assume he's a john. If he's not, why would he care that a porn star who turns tricks is called a hooker?

The Outrage! The Shame!

Luke: This kind of stuff always kills me. Someone writes: "Luke, you're such a so-and-so. Luke this, Luke that. Luke you rat...." I DEMAND A RETRACTION ! ! ! My Lawyer will .....

And then the same outraged soul hooks up a link like this to prove their sainthood using (drumroll, please) your now highly respected, truth-filled archives.

Here's Paola Rey's TER post:

Here is the type of people I am dealing with at the present moment.

Please check the link and make your own conclusions.

Luke, The adult industry has a term for "general managing partner". Its called a suitcase pimp and yes she is Paolo is a hooker. Let all be adults here and be honest. If you have a "review" on TER(theeroticreview.com) then yes you are hooker, escort, whore, call girl or what ever colorful term you might like.

Chris [Sean Foster], I understand you feel the need to come rescue your meal ticket but you look like an asshole trying. If she is not a hooker, then take it court. You supposedly have top notch lawyers so why not have them contact Luke? The proof of burden will be on your and her and Luke might just want to have a look at BOTH of your income tax returns. What does a general partner do? Do you wipe the cum off her when she comes back from seeing clients? Do you pick up the mail at the the mail drop in North Hollywood which is a really upscale part of Los Angeles.

Hopefully your lawyer as mentioned to you that in California a person benefiting from prostitution can be charged with a Felony which leads me to wonder if she cant work because of 2257 then she can not generate legal income which means you are the general partner of a operation with no visible means of support. Interesting.

Porn Monger writes:

Bravo to you and your comment to "Sean Foster". I'm tired of porn chicks threatening us with their "lawyers" when in fact they are their johns. I had that happen on my site last year when I wrote about a hooker. Managing General Partner...come on man...the only thing Sean Foster is managing is Paola's hooking schedule. He's the booker that she has hired to schedule her appointments with John's. If you do a search on TER by Paolo, you will see her admittance to hooking and that Sean is her booker. That's a new term for Suitcase Pimp = Managing General Partner.

Paola Rey seems to be a hooker working for BellasModels.com.

I checked this link on The Erotic Review and it alleges that Paola provides such services as:

massage: VIP Only massage quality: VIP Only sex: VIP Only s&m: VIP Only blow job: VIP Only cum in mouth: VIP Only touch pussy: VIP Only lick pussy: VIP Only kiss: VIP Only anal: VIP Only two girl action: VIP Only will bring 2nd provider: VIP Only more than one guy: VIP Only no rush session: VIP Only multiple pops: VIP Only rimming: VIP Only

None of that should be taken as inferring she's a hooker, I guess.

There are also ten reviews of her pay-for-play sexual services going back to June 2005.

Claudio writes:

Luke,

Paola and her team are so full of it on all accounts. I use to be a huge Paola fan when was doing Boy-Girl scenes. I use to visit her website paolareyxxx a lot, but all that was was a site promoting her hooking 'send a donation to me via western union as a deposit' and stuff like that. The website had nothing to do with her porn career. Then she started writing in her journal section that she was building a member site called clubpaolarey.com. I checked the site out and couldn't wait to join because it had photos, videos, journal entries and live chat with her. I can swing 24.99 a month, not the 3000 hooking fee (donation). So her and her teams claims that they knew nothing about the website or that she had no involvement are all BS, because she promoted the site herself on her hooking site. After she stopped doing Boy-Girl scenes I really lost interest and moved on!

As for her hooking, come on, lets be serious. She's about as blatant of a full time hooker as it gets. She's on Bellas Models, she's on all the other major hooking sites, even Pamela Peaks promotes her as a hooker, she promotes her services on erotic review and she use to be all over big doggie. She's got pimps (bookers, general managers) and I would be willing to bet that everyone she works with (lawyers, accountants, general managers) are all part of the team based on trading service for service with her. I mean come on, because of 2257 she's out of the business, meaning she's not a citizen BUT she's here in the states and now she has general managers, accountants and lawyers. God bless her, until she gets caught and deported.

Don't let some schmuck threaten you Luke, all they seem to be doing is opening a can of worms against themselves. Last I checked, prostitution was illegal, ask Malory Knoxx and Elana from E2K.

Paola Rey Attacks Keith O'Connor

It's part of the overall struggle for Defiance Films. Principals Keith O'Connor and Anthony Simone were pushed out of there almost a month ago.

Paola is a hooker from Brazil. She barely speaks English. There's no way she wrote this post on The Erotic Review.

It must've been crafted by her lawyer or a lawyer from Defiance.

Paolo did some porn over a year ago but then lost work when companies began more rigorously observing 2257 regulations. She was working with Defiance Films until then. Keith was Defiance's head of production. He built a site for her, ClubPaolaRey. She wrote some entries for it. So she must've been cooperating with Keith last summer.

Then the new ramifications of 2257 came down, and foreign talent such Paola who did not have the legal right to work in the U.S., were pushed out of the American porn industry.

Antonio responds:

Paola, you are advertising your services here as an Escort, you are being reviewed here by people for your services as an Escort. And by making posts about someone you have a problem with and having that posted on Gossip sites like lukeisback is only drawing attention to you and what you do for a living, attention that is more than likely not good for you. Escorting services should go 'under' the radar, not above it. As for the website in question. You could sue, contact the networking company, but you would lose and have to pay damages yourself. And again, you would expose yourself and your current occupation. Here's why. Your name is not Paola Rey, it's a stage name. Actually in doing some research there is a mainstream South American actress named Paola Rey who has that name. So your real name is not Paola Rey and you have no legal rights to that name at all. If anything, you could be sued for using the name of a real person. Secondly, I will assume that all the content of you used on ANY site would be content you shot and was paid for. You also signed a model release. That release says the owner of the content can do whatever they want with it, and you have no rights to the content or to what they do with the content. They could put you on a box cover or website that says 'Paola Rey Is a Hooker' and there's nothing you can do about it, 1) because they own the pictures and you signed off on it and 2) because you are not Paola Rey and have no rights to the name. I can buy 100 domain names with Paola Rey in the title, and it's not illegal. I can redirect them to 100 different places and it's not illegal or fraud. I can call if official, talk about updates and that's not illegal. Because you are not Paola Rey and you have given the Model Release holder the authority to use the images in any manner they wish. Finally, if you contacted the 'authorities', I'll bet 50 to 1 that they could care less about a website that has model releases and legal content, but they WOULD care about what you do for living as displayed here on the Review!! Lesson to be learned, don't take matters like this public, deal with them privately.
