I noticed that Mia Rose and Shelley Lubben are associated with this profile. Sometime after the AEE show I had briefly spoken to Mia over Myspace and she made the suggestion she had stopped performing.
Update: The Myspace Profile has been removed since this story was first posted
Mia Rose posted this on the XPT Forums:
:: sigh :: I hate gossip. Makes me want to piss in peoples eye sockets. : /
I haven’t shot in a very long time, 6 almost 7 months. I haven’t quit. I have just taken an extended break… “Massage school” Not with happy endings.. ” I know you twits were thinkin it” ; ) I actually am booked to do an anal scene for New Sensations next week. Way to come back to work eh? ” Hey Mia! You gonna take it in the ass like a good whore today?” I shall respond with … ” I’m never ready, I don’t even know if I have a sphincter.” for shits and giggles. hahaha no pun. I’m funny.
And the whole f La direct… um, its myspace… I add everyone. and when I got an email from them, I looked and saw I was number one on their list. So, I left a comment saying I have no beef with Derek, La direct, or any of the industry ” give or take a few diva gossip queens” And also made it very clear, that I did not support their cause personally. My comment was deleted. Shortly after, I left another comment saying something to the affect of ” Thanks for starting more rumors, you are now blocked.”
Do what you want, and hate who you want, but don’t drag other people into your shit pile unknowingly. Its just childish. Go back to high school you ninnies.
I had contacted Mia via her Myspace page asking her if she was performing. She read the posting but did not respond to me.
Mia Rose and Shelly Lubben?
Why I’m not surprised.
(El G, yo lo sospechaba, the acuerdas que te pregunté)
Maybe Mia dislike for Christianxxx and his pal Derek has something to do with it.
Who is next, Veronica Jett, Teagan Presley?
LA Direct is fucked up, like many producers, I don’t like to book anyone through them, but to be honest, this new Myspace page is bullshit, design and writing is amatuerish, and it also has Shelly Lubben attached to it, which that alone is enough to discredit anything they write. The bottom line is that these kind of internet attacks are childesh and stupid, and they won’t go anywhere. If you have enough evidence to nail Derek and his agency, go to the feds, if you don’t want to deal with the feds and have the balls to make a move on your own, then go to his office and knock out his fucking teeth so his british whore mother won’t recognize him, or pay someone to put a bullet in him; otherwise, just shut up and simply get another pimp/agent. It’s really not complicated.
Ric, convengo. Cuidado de la toma.
Mia dislikes Christianxxx, what did he do? Other than catch and pitch with Trannies and some Gay Escorting, and crying like a baby. Shelley’s a loon, she’s like Bill Margold, they are trying to save things when they really cant save themselves, though Shelley is less delusional than Bill. She’s reconstructed some of her life, Bill walks around in Al Davis’ hand me downs.

I always get blamed for the looney stuff. Oh well I guess if you have to blame someone, go after the loon.
But one thing about me you may or may not know, I have no problem with speaking out against the porn industry and I don’t hide behind a profile to do it. Trust me, if I want to speak out against LADirect, I will do it directly. No pun intended.
Love you guys!
Is there no love for Derek in Porn Valley?
Since when does being in someone’s top friends mean you are associated with the page? Otherwise you need to say Crissy Moran and Tom are associated with it too. You assume way too much.
Shelley you are a class-1 wacko. Just another religious nutcase telling other people what to do and see.
“Mia dislikes Christianxxx, what did he do? Other than catch and pitch with Trannies and some Gay Escorting, and crying like a baby.”
Some drama with losing money over Mia staph infections.
“Shelley’s a loon, she’s like Bill Margold, they are trying to save things when they really cant save themselves, though Shelley is less delusional than Bill. She’s reconstructed some of her life, Bill walks around in Al Davis’ hand me downs.”
Religious polemics outside, Shelley’s at least fills a real void. That is my take.
Great post Larry.
BTW, Mia Rose clarified the issue on XPT. She is not retired and she is not with Shelley.
Someone page Taryn Thomas.
I don’t see how being in someone’s top friends makes you associated with them. It’s a bit of a stretch. Yellow journalism anybody?
Why hate on Bill Margold? He’s been in porn longer than most of us have been alive. Bill has seen what really goes on there and if he helps people who want help, then so be it. He’s not a religious zealot like Shelley. But if people go to either Bill or Shelley on their own free will for help, then what’s the problem?
That myspace page is dead now???
Oh god, Bill Margold is the biggest waste of space this side of the Rockies. No one in the business takes him remotely seriously, and the only people who converse with him are newbies who don’t know any better.
Thanks Al, good retort about Saint Bill.
But why exactly don’t any of you like Bill? I usually see him on E True Hollywood stories and he always refers to John Holmes as The King and he seems nice.
Bill doesnt like it when people step off “the reservation”, ie say bad things about porn and so on. If Bill and Sharon Mitchell had their way back in ’98 or so, the Marc Wallice/Brooke Ashley HIV crisis would have been buried, or taken care of “in the family”. This is where Luke became the anti-Christ, but he was right. Margold was also defending Brian Pumper over his car accident where two innocent people were killed while Pumper was racing another miscreant. Margold, as far as I know said nothing about the Haley Paige/Wanker Wang affair.
Didn’t Marc Wallice continue working knowing he had HIV?
Didn’t Margold also say porn was like the children of the damned? I forgot the exact quote. He also said that people were calling him saying Savannah was dead but he found out she wasn’t even dead yet. And that others were saying bang bang the witch is dead. So by him saying that is shining a bad light on the industry when some of them were celebrating Savannah’s death.
Thanks. I didn’t know any of this.
