Rob Spallone Released From Jail
2003-08-04 13:47:35

Rob: "I shot Friday while I was in jail.

"The shoot went excellent. Who else can shoot a movie while they are in jail?

"I did a radio show this morning. They woke me up at 6AM.

"I booked my shoot last Tuesday. Then Wednesday, when I went to jail, the first call I made was to Ron Sullivan to pick up the check book and makes sure he shoots the movie. I'm shooting two movies tomorrow."

Luke: "Why did you have to go to jail?"

Rob: "I'll explain everything when you see me, brother."

Gene Ross reports: A link to LASD information center shows an arrest Wednesday night. A Robert Michael Spallone born 3/29/63 was booked around 9 o'clock. Bail was set at $50,000.

The link says Rob was arrested for corporal spouse abuse.

He was first charged with a felony but it has now been dropped to a misdemeanor.

He's also charged with being a fugitive from justice.

Gerald writes: Although spousal abuse is a very serious felony charge, more so in the State of California, Mr. Spallone's other charge, "fugitive from justice" may be much more serious. Usually, that means a person has been charged with a serious felony in another state and then fled that state. States cooperate in these matters. There is no bail (and its only rarely that a judge can set bail in these matters) until the state who issued the "fugitive from justice" bulletin (which also involves federal authorities) decides whether or not to extradite. Mr. Spallone might find himself incarcerated for some time. But then again, many convicted murderers only serve 7 years.

AVN.com has on their website an amazingly vicious rant against Rob Spallone in my name. I never wrote this or anything like it. Rob Spallone is my longtime friend.

I suspect it is written by Bo@lgi.com. Bo and Rob had a feud at the time. Why this remains on AVN.com and comes up in a search beats me?

Here's the link:

FROM JEFF IN VEGAS: Rob Spallone was just on the don and mike show which is syndicated all over the country out of Wash DC. He plugged the worldssmallestgangbang.com which he will be shooting very soon with Brooke Hunter. He said he has only used 1 fake male pop shot in his last 10 films and he uses pina colada mix to simulate cum. He called the men in porn films just pieces of meat and said the women are not actresses and he knocks them down to size. He says it takes 10-18 hours to shoot a porn vid. He said all the girls are just garbage cans. He's been married 15 years and his wife HATES the biz. Rob's parents have been in porn for years. www.eroticscriptcontest.com is another of his sites. In the midget gangbang the men must use condoms for the penetration but not oral. Rob also did the worldsfattestgangbang which he called the most disgusting thing he's ever seen.

DUC calls Rob on his cell phone at 10AM, Tuesday, August 5: "Hey pal, how are you doing?"

Rob: "A little better. What's happening?"

Luke: "Just checking in with you man."

Rob: "Oh man."

Luke: "Are you in bed?"

Rob: "No. I came in for an hour. My mother drove me. And I'm going to go home. Monday I've got to go to another type of doctor, someone who's going to read the X-ray and check the spot on my liver. But this other pain, they don't know what it is."

Luke: "Are you on pain medication?"

Rob: "Yeah. I'm shooting Friday, not Thursday. The same place. Are you going to come by?"

Luke: "I'm not sure."

Rob: "[URL=http://www.eroticscriptcontest.com/]The [Erotic Script] contest is doing real good[/URL]. And so is the midget gangbang."

Luke: "So you're at your Dad's office. What is he saying to you?"

Rob: "Nothing. What do you think he'd say?"

Luke: "I'd think he'd abuse you."

Rob chuckles. "Don't make me laugh."

Luke: "How's your wife? Is she taking good care of you?"

Rob: "Oh yeah. She's babying me. Yeah. All she does is yell. I think I'm going to get a hotel room for a week."

Luke: "With a porn girl?"

Rob: "Without a porn girl."

Luke: "If you could have one porn girl take care of you, which one would it be?"

Rob: "[Fat] Cindy.

"Why would I need a porn girl for?"

Luke: "To take care of you."

Rob: "They don't know how to take care of people. They don't know how to take care of themselves."

Luke: "What sort of pain medication are you on?"

Rob: "Vicodan. I just take it if I need it. The morphine wiped me out."

Luke: "Are you selling it on the side to little children?"

Rob: "Yeah. You're so sick. You have nothing to write about today. You're looking for trouble. I can't, DUC. I don't feel good. I can't drive. I'm in pain."

Rob has brought his Mom and Dad to live with him in his new house.

Luke: "How's your brother who gets in trouble?"

Rob: "I just spoke to him today for the first time in four months. He's working in Costa Rica. He wants you to put a banner on your site."

Luke: "Tell him to email me and I will email it to the owner of setgo."

Rob: "I want my script writing contest on your site. What's your guy doing?"

Luke: "I'll put a big link to it."

.......................

I call my buddy at 2:24 PM Monday, August 4.

Rob's voice sounds shaky.

Rob: "I just got out of the hospital. Give me a call tomorrow."

Luke: "Oh no, what happened?"

Rob: "I had a bad pain. I was in the hospital all day. I just got out. I'm just getting in the car."

Luke: "What's wrong with you?"

Rob: "Call me in the morning."

3PM

Rob: "Hey bud."

Luke: "What's going on with you?"

Rob: "I don't know. I had a pain last night. When I woke up, I couldn't even put my socks on. But I had to go to work. I went to Jim South's and was crawling there. And then I had to go to my office. I just collapsed [about 10AM] and they took me to the hospital. They don't know what it is. They did a CAT scan. They found a lesion on my liver. It was a nightmare today.

"Now I'm at the pharmacy getting a prescription. Then I'm going home to rest. I'll be in in the morning because I have a shoot this week. I've got to get everything together."

Luke: "Are you in a lot of pain?"

Rob: "They had me on morphine all morning. I don't feel nothing. It's starting to come back now. They still don't know what it was. At first we thought it was gallstones. They did a CAT scan and didn't find nothing. I've got to go to a specialist."

Cindi Loftus Interviews Rob Spallone
2003-07-18 08:42:07
Cindi Loftus from Xcitement magazine writes:

Okay, so I have never seen one episode of the "Sopranos", HBO's hottest series chronicling the life of an Italian Mafia family. I have however seen ALL FOUR episodes of the Sopornos! Tabitha Stevens and Kendra Jade are the hotties in the original. We start out the show with casino owner Bobby Soporno telling us about how no one in his club keeps their money. They either loose it gambling, or they lose it to the girls that hang out there and Bobby gets a cut of both! Here is a brief synopsis of the first four episodes I watched, and then you will find an exclusive interview with the famous, talented, tough guy Rob Spallone who plays Bobby.
Bobby is not just the boss though; he is also the resident psycho (aren't all bosses a bit nuts?) His extremely hot temper is not helped by the fact that he thinks his own cousin is stealing money from him. Everyone in the family is cheating on everyone else. Just like Rodney Dangerfield, Bobby feels like he doesn't get no respect. He beats up the limo driver and his cousin. Bobby beats up anyone can get his hands on. Talk about an anger management problem. Even with help from his psychotherapist, Bobby still wants to kill everybody. Rob Spallone is perfect in the role of tough guy Bobby. To tell you the truth I don't think Rob is acting. That's probably why he won the 2000 AVN award for best non-sex actor. I have to mention the scene with the two girls having sex on top of the craps table, hot, hot, hot! The first movie did so well it began a series.
Sopornos 2 stars Jewel De'Nyle and Lola. This time Bobby decides to try his hand at making porno movies. He got rid of some of the troublemakers and hired some good guys and he's now on medication to keep him calmer. He's bought the strip club "Bada Boom", nice place, hot girls! Bill Margold has a cameo appearance as bartender, no wait, oh my God, forget that, Bill is doing a BJ scene. All right! The beautiful Jewel manages the club along with bossing around the staff. Jewel likes to be the boss. She's even in charge of the two guys DP'ing her! Bobby beats up Director Creme Rinze and then loans him $25,000 to make a porn movie. Bobby heads over to AVN to make sure his movie gets a good review. Then he shots and kills the cook for f-cking his partner's wife. There is a bar brawl with a bunch of bikers, Bobby and his goons kick their asses, then Jewel saves the day by pulling out a revolver and removing all the rif raf. Bobby gets arrested this time. Dave Cummings plays the cop. Oh, and there is a whole bunch of hot sex in between all the action.
Sopornos 3. Bobby's back from jail because they had to throw out the case. Lack of witnesses. (Their bodies are probably buried in cement somewhere) Bobby's got a new boat and a new easy way to off people! First up Bobby kills some rat by shooting him and throwing him overboard. Bobby is also dealing with the Russians who are trying to take over an old friend's clothing business. And guess who plays our favorite spy? The beautiful and sexy Nikita Denise. She takes one of Bobby's gang out to the warehouse to break him in with a sizzling BJ. The "Moolies" are trying to strong-arm money out of the friend's line of clothes, so Bobby decides to take care of it. And he does, Bang! He also decides to take care of the manager of the clothing warehouse who he doesn't like. I guess Julie Meadows' charactor won't be appearing in the next edition because she is dead! Bobby is right though, because Julie is in cahoots with the Russians. Bobby asks his shrink for some stronger medication. We all hope he gets it!
Sopornos 4 Bobby thinks everything is going quite well, everyone is getting along and he's finally gotten his daughter Tawny (played by Tawny Roberts) off to college. Problem is that Tawny is getting off quite a bit AT college! Getting off with many different guys including one of Bobby's gang, Tony. Bobby finally gets some of his own medicine when during a shootout he takes two bullets. Of course if you have to get rushed to the hospital in an ambulance the best kind would be one where the two female EMT's decide to f-ck each other while you watch! Bobby is now in the hospital recovering and Tawny is getting it on with his doctor, talk about bedside manners! Seems Bobby is having trouble sleeping because he keeps having nightmares that everybody is f-cking everyone else. Truth is, they are!
Look for Sopornos 5 and 6 in the near future. They are being filmed as I type this….

Rob Spallone is a well-known and respected part of the adult industry. His roles include producer, director, actor and mentor. In some cases you can even add protector to that list. He’s saved many an ass in his time. Rob is the guy behind VCA’s “Sopornos” movie series. He also has the staring role of Bobby Soporno. I was lucky enough to talk to Rob as he was on his way to filming the next episodes….

Xcitement: Hi Rob. What are you up too?
Rob: Working hard. Getting ready to shoot Sopornos five and six.
X: All right! Who is starring?
R: One is starring Stevie. The other one is starring Sunset Thomas.
X: Cool. Good choices. Are you going to be on the box-over? I don’t like that you are not on the second one.
R: Of course I’ll be on these. I was out of town when they shot that cover for the second episode. So did you like the movies? Was it as good as the “Sopranos show?
X: I loved the movies! I have never seen the Sopranos.
R: Oh, come on! About a month and a half ago on the E channel they did a whole two-hour special on the Sopranos. About thirty minutes into the show they go “even the adult industry jumped in on it” and they show a thirty-second clip of me (as Bobby) talking to the shrink. At the end of the show they showed about five minutes running all the scenes of me beating people up. My phone started ringing off the hook. Everyone is saying “ I saw you on E, I saw you on E”. So I called up E and they sent me some copies.
X: You are perfect casting for this movie.
R: I won the award for the first one (AVN Best Non-sexual Actor). And I didn’t win again. I wasn’t even nominated. So I asked someone about a year ago and they said “ Rob we can’t give you the award for the same part.” So I said I will have someone write me a script where I play a fag and I will show you I can act. You missed a great party last night by the way.
X: What party?
R: Larry Flynt had a party with VCA. You know that Hustler just bought the company. It was in Larry’s office. Nice party.
X: So were you behaving yourself?
R: Yes I was there with my wife on my best behavior.
X: You are such a sweet family man, but nobody knows about that about you.
R: Ahhh. Don’t tell no body.
X: Well I can see why they say you are playing yourself in these movies. You are such a thug from New York.
R: They say Rob you are just playing yourself.
X: You are such a Sweet thug though. You aren’t coming down here anytime soon are you?
R: No. It’s too hot for me down there. So you enjoyed the movies?
X: I thought they are fabulous. You are so great. I love when you beat people up. That was the best part when you beat the chauffeur up and slammed him in the car door.
R: I loved that!
X: You get out all your aggravation.
R: And I really do it!
X: You really beat the sh-t out of him?
R: Oh yeah! That kid was black and blue for about a month. I had to pay him extra!
X: (cracking up) That is so YOU! So you take a Producer’s credit in the series right?
R: Yeah, that’s all I take.
X: What exactly does a Producer do?
R: I put the whole movie together. The stories are all mine. I come up with the ideas for the plots. I hire everybody.
X: What does your family think about you being a “porn star”?
R: My wife hates it. HATES IT! She says “You are putting your self on the box, you gotta use your real name, you are a f-cking asshole your whole life, you like hanging out with these girls. Everyday I hear it. Now I hear it even more because I am starting to shoot these particular movies this week.
X: So she hates the Sopornos, huh? You should put her in the movie!
R: Let me tell you something, in the first one, I started at $500 and got up to $1500 for her to come running out of the house throwing pots and pans at me. She wouldn’t do it. And she would be perfect. Shayla LaVeaux played my wife in the last one, where I was in the hospital and she threw everything at me.
X: Your wife would have been great in that role.
R: She would have been the best.
X: Because she has real life experience throwing things at you.
R: That’s it. She does that every night.
X: So when are the new ones going to be coming out?
R: Oh, I don’t know a release date yet. I am at the body shop were we are going to be shooting. I got a boxing gym for Sunday.
X: So what plots are coming up?
R: I am going to own a boxer and tell him he has to take a dive. In the other one I am going to have a chop shop type of thing.
X: I love this series. The stories are interesting, the sex is hot, and it’s funny.
R: We have a lot of fun making them. Everybody has been calling for the last two weeks because they know I am going to be shooting Sopornos.
X: Well Rob, I am just glad that you are my friend! I wouldn’t want to be on your bad side.
R: Yeah, I can be a pain in the ass.
X: But you are a really good, loyal, caring friend. You are gorgeous. Your wife is gorgeous. You are funny as hell. I am looking at the box cover of number three and you are hot looking, you Mafioso.
R: I love you! When will you be in town?
X: Not till January. I am coming to the AVN awards. I’ll see you then. And I love you too!

Rob Spallone's Brother Roy, 48, Dies Of Natural Causes In Costa Rica Sept. 5

I've known Rob for eight years. If I ever needed a favor (get bailed out of jail or have someone whacked), he'd be one of the first persons I talked to.

Rob (robspallone@aol.com) calls me Friday morning: "Do me a favor. My brother died. If you could just put something up there and leave it there because I've been getting nine million phone calls. Anybody who wants to pay respect can come by my house at 3 p.m., Sept 13, 20058 Friar St. 91367. We're leaving for New York Thursday."

Luke: "When did Roy die?"

Rob: "Tuesday I got the phone call."

Luke: "What killed him?"

Rob: "They did the autopsy yesterday. I had him cremated. Natural causes. He'd been sick. He didn't tell anybody. That's it.

"He was supposed to go to work Monday. He didn't show up. He didn't show up Tuesday. They sent somebody over. They found him in the bed dead."

Luke: "When did you last talk to him?"

Rob: "I went to my mother's office Tuesday morning. She said she spoke to Roy Saturday. He'd been depressed and sick. He sounded good. He was getting a new job. He was moving.

"Three hours later I got the phone call.

"I was supposed to fly down today and leave him down there because he liked it there. I was able to give the rights to this girl to identify him. I've been on the phone with the embassy for two days. I sent them all the money they needed."

Luke: "When did you last talk to him?"

Rob: "About a month ago."

Luke: "What did you talk about?"

Rob: "Nothing. He was the same as always. Crazy Roy."

Luke: "Didn't he have surgery?"

Rob: "Yes. His gallbladder exploded when we were in New York five months ago."

Roy has a 23-year old daughter. "If you met Roy, you'd think he was the happiest guy in the world. He was a tough kid. He wasn't a bully. Anybody who met him, liked him."

Rob chokes up.

My clearest memory of Roy is from Las Vegas in January 2005. I stayed with Rob and Roy and company for a few days at the Bellagio. Rob and Roy were bickering most of the time. On a Friday night, Roy was freaking out because he hadn't heard from Rob all day.

Then Rob stumbled in with Tommy Sinnopoli (who sells herbal viagra). They were both drunk as skunks.

It was pouring rain on the drive home to Los Angeles Sunday evening. Rob was exhausted so Roy gave me a ride home from Rob's house in the Valley, saving me an $80 cab fair.

Roy was always helping people like that.

May his memory be a blessing.

Eavesdropping At Gathering To Honor Rob Spallone's Brother Roy

Roy died of natural causes in Costa Rica around September 5.

Wednesday afternoon, about 100 people from the industry stopped by Rob's Woodland Hills house including James DiGiorgio (these former partners turned bitter enemies for almost five years are now speaking civilly again after running into each other in Palm Springs Sept. 2), Marty Turkel, Ron Sullivan, Vinny D...

I overheard the following:

"The Israelis ruined this business."

"Do you know the day this industry went to hell? When Dibi got whacked. After that, anyone who wanted in could come in."

"When I came in this business, there were 1,200 releases a year. Now there's that many a month. Now anyone who picks up a camera thinks he's a director."

I love it when pornographers talk about their work as though it takes some special skill. I love it when they decry the lack of standards, the lack of professionalism, the lack of integrity, the lack of unity in the industry. I love to spot other people's self-delusions (but I resent it when other people point mine out).
