New York Observer On Ron Jeremy
Check out the article on Ron Jeremy in the NYObserver.com. Here's an excerpt: After thousands, who knows, perhaps millions of money shots, Mr. Jeremy, hairy back, mustache and 9 3/4-inch penis are trying to make it in the world of legitimate films under his given name, Ron Hyatt. The crossover hasn’t been easy, exactly. He had a role in the new John Frankenheimer picture, Reindeer Games, but, alas, it got cut. He still gets parts in the raunchy stuff, like last year’s Still Insatiable and Black Cherry Coeds 3, but it’s getting harder and harder to land the good roles he owned during his prime, when he could pull down $800 for just a few hours’ work.
"I’m heavy but I’m still very graceful, and I can still outrun, outjump, outkick, outswim kids half my age," Mr. Jeremy said in the car. "People think I’m just talking. Just to prove it to you, go ahead, there, go ahead." He removed his denim jacket and made a muscle. "Anyone can say, ‘Oh, yeah, I have lot of muscle,’ and you’re like, ‘Oh, yeah, right, look at this fat f---.’ Here." Mr. Jeremy, who is 46, rolled up his bluejeans a few inches and displayed a bulging calf muscle. "I have a lot of muscle. It’s just covered by a lot of fat. I got careless with my weight. I was in Playgirl four times, but I got careless with the weight. I still get layouts in Cheri a lot, and Hustler uses me a lot because of the novelty–because I still have a big penis even though I am heavy, too heavy to be modeling, that’s for sure."
Mr. Jeremy’s efforts to go legit haven’t been completely for naught. He was a male strip club emcee in the recent Detroit Rock City, the Kiss nostalgia film, and a gangster in The Boondock Saints, a Willem Dafoe ultra-violence flick. He was a concierge who gets shot in Killing Zoe and, in Sylvester Stallone’s Cobra, a masked bad guy. He played a cameraman in the Charlie Sheen film The Chase, a peeping Tom for one episode in the CBS show Nash Bridges and a monster in an ABC kids’ show, Bone Chillers.
Brittany O'Connell Update
Thaiboxer writes on RAME: Brittany is still sellin her ass on the web in various forms. She's also attempting to bring other girls into the biz, sort of a mentor i assume, so far all but one of em have done a runner on her and her boyfriend. The weight goes up and down she seems to get pudgy occasionally, and the bad boob job has been corrected, through another surgery more than likely. As for the satanism... if it's not true, how come her boyfriend/svengali wear a pentagram around his neck perpetually?
Pebbles Warns Black Girls Against Photographer Ron Ellis
Black porn girl Pebbles phoned me Tuesday night. She's been in the porn industry since May and may soon sign a contract with Extreme Associates.
Pebbles: "There's big black fat bald photographer Ron Ellis who steals black girls' identities. You know how in this industry they take down a lot of information on you like your social security number, your date of birth, your phone number... He takes the pictures of the girls, and then steal their identities. He will get a lot of stuff in other people's names. Like phones.
"How do I know this? I used to stay with him and Kitten. And all my stuff got forwarded to my new address. And I got a whole bunch of stuff in the mail that I never ordered. I got credit cards and computer stuff like CDs. I balance my check book once a month. And I realized that there were checks coming in that had never used. I went to the bank and they sent me copies of all the checks. And the checks are written by Ron Ellis."
Kendra Jade Replies
Kendra Jade replies to the chick from LGI: Yes, down here on planet Earth it usually does matter if your boss tries to force you to sleep with him, if you fear he will put drugs in your drink, if you are forced to watch them snort coke when you strongly oppose drugs. Also, there is no doubt that i am now making a lot of money with my new deals.SO what , sue me. If bo had kept his obligations ,like getting me my OWN room,perhaps there wouldve been no problem.If bo hadnt admittedly told me to suck his dick to get paid, perhaps there'd be no problem.I have that on tape, so say what you will. And yes, i did offer to pay back the money i truly owed to bo,bo wont acccept because, like i said before, he is too busy being a scumbag and playing his little games. so get a clue. one more question,.... in the brief period you met me, you could tell all those things about me?about wanting sympathy and being manipulative??all that in 5 minutes? wow, you should work for the psychic friends network instead of LGI.
Mad Jack Tells Luke To f--- Off
Mad Jack has developed the habit of phoning me, and cursing me out. It helps his wife Tia get off when he yells at me.
Mad Jack writes: "My girl came like a banchee after i told you to f--- off last night."
Luke received a phone call Tuesday morning from Detective Phil Toledo with the Los Angeles Police Department's North Hollywood branch. He's investigating, at the request of Scott Austin aka Kid Vegas, the tussle between the Kid and Tony Eveready. You can call Phil with tips on this at 818-623-4075.
AVN's Phil Goldmarx (I think it is really Sheldon Ranz) writes on RAME: You come across as a hypocrite who expends much energy and anger at white porn starlets who won't work with blacks, but you refuse to condemn the blatant bigotry of Luke F-rd. In fact, you try to afford him some respectability by saying he's been right on some stuff as if he has actually scored some real scoops, which he hasn't. Although now you're willing to admit Ford has made some mistakes (it must be that new millenium thing), you're still way too complacent about him.
Sheldon Ranz did the early work exposing him (interested lurkers can check out DejaNews) and your dubiously touching faith in Ford (Murphy Brown fans, forgive me!). More recently, in a radio debate Ford had with a lawyer respresenting the sex industry, Ford openly admitted to lying several times.
Ford has shilled for the neo-Nazi outfit, the National Alliance,
whose head, William Pierce, is the author of "The Turner Diaries",
which calls for a violent, white-supremacist revolution to overthrow
the US govenrment. In support of his own belief that the Jews are
controlling the porn industry as a plot to undermine Christian values,
Ford "called" on Brother
Down In New Orleans
Peter Hayes writes: It is good to see that "five eyes" of www.iiiii.com has been getting some free publicity here on European TV. The guy makes live video recordings of ladies flashing their boobs - or other more intimate parts - for beads down in New Orleans. I have often wondered whether the people realise that the guy makes a fortune from flogging pictures of them raising up their tops - or whether they are too drunk to care less?
I once heard that the couple that were shown screwing in the undergrowth in the film Woodstock sued the film makers for invasion of privacy (or something to that effect) but I don't know if they won. Perhaps someone out there does?
In France they have really strict privacy laws and you cannot photograph anybody - in public - without their express permission. That means that if you photograph a politician and someone is standing behind them you have to blank out the bystanders eyes. It is a nightmare being an agency photographer over there.
In the UK we have no such laws and one Brighton video company was filming flashing and some naked video posing in the streets of Manchester - outside the offices of the Manchester Evening Standard as I remember it. Someone called the vice squad and an officer came down and arrested them all - with the tape was still running. They kept them in custody for two hours, but they weren't charged with anything. They kept the whole incident on the final tape - even identifying the arresting officer by name.
I saw Gene Ross Monday and the thing with that old British jailbird and illegal tape duplicator Ben Dover (Steve Perry). Whether he is in the states for business reasons or avoiding the people that he has shafted over is anybody's guess.
Lolo Ferrari
Peter Hayes writes GeneRoss.com: "Hello Gene, Enjoy your site and its new look. Very nice. I look in every so often, although I give most of the Euro dope to Luke.
"As we write there is no indication of suicide in the case of Lola Ferrari - so why are you saying there is? The post-mortem showed that she died of natural causes and the toxicology report will not be in for another 10 days. The French media was quite generous with their time - but mostly because of her work on TV where she was an erotic freak show.
"While an exhibitionist with an endless faith in plastic surgery (she may have been "body morphic" - a condition where you cannot see yourself correctly) she had a kind heart and (fairly uniquely in my experience) was happy to let fans touch and fondle over stuffed breasts.
"She made most of her money dancing in night clubs rather than from X. Her act was a mixture of dancing, singing (thumping disco numbers that hid her thin voice) and stripping (sometimes only down to a g-string). She also had a lot fans in Germany and Austria - she regularly appeared in night clubs there.
"Naturally she appeared in oversize breast magazines all over the world. However some airlines refused to carry her because they believed that the silicon bags would burst in the pressurised cabins!"
Gene sez: "With all due respect to you, Peter, I must also take you to the remedial reading woodshed. I never said Ferrari was a suicide victim. I printed a conversation I had with Ari from Channel 69, and this is what he had to say: "My guy in France told me they're talking about her death on the TV, but they don't know what the reason was. He's saying maybe suicide. They don't know yet.They're getting a lot of orders for her movies. She was a very big star in France."

James DiGiorgio Vs LGI's Bo
James "Luke, I am not a junkie" DiGiorgio writes: "Luke, here's a theory: Let's say someone asked someone to provide scenes for internet use only. And let's say that person or persons produced those scenes and sent them to the requestor. Now since the requestor of the scenes only wants them for internet streaming, what is to stop that person from simply dumping the scenes onto hard drives, or copying them to another tape, and then returning the scenes claiming they don't meet certain quality standards? The requesting individual doesn't need chromes, as they can simply pull JPGs from the video and use them for e-marketing. Obtaining duplicate "proofs of ages" from another company who has shot the talent is no problem. And model releases are more a civil matter, and have nothing to do with federal requirements. HIV tests, again, are not a legal requirement. I know I'd be very concerned about giving scenes to anyone--especiallly someone whose credibilty and honesty seems to be constantly called into question in one instance after another--who claims they only want them for internet streaming. It would be SO FREAKING EASY for them to steal the scenes, and then return the original footage!"
Jim followed up: "Luke, in publishing my theory about an unscrupulous individual's ability to steal scenes for internet streaming, I couldn't help but notice the slug line you attributed to it: Digiorgio vs. Bo(lgi). Did I mention John Kenney of LGI, of Manassas, Virginia in my email? I think not. Apparently, you saw fit to attach your own theory as to who (if anyone specifically) I was writing about. If in your eyes the shoe fits Bo, that's specualtion on your part. I certainly wouldn't accuse any specific indivudual of anything so underhanded or dishonest, but then, I'm not Luke F-rd, nor am I porngossip.com's Gossip Editor."
From PornGossip.com: Interesting, how did you come up with such an elaborate scheme, Jim? Have you perhaps done this before? You seem to have put some thought into it. In any case, we only had the "tapes" here for a day or so. Not enough time for us to have copied anything. We just don't have that kind of equipment. Everything we stream we get legally. Bo is very, very strict about having the proper rights from the owner to stream for the Internet. And so am I. We sent the tapes back because we didn't need them, and didn't ask for them. None of us even viewed the "tapes" prior to their return. And Jim, you spelled "credibility" wrong.
XXXInsider: Luke, are you pissed that Kendra is now doing your all-time fave---Stern
XXXInsider: I saw Jill Kelly flirting pretty heavy with a guy at the Skybar.
John Bone Files For Bankruptcy
Check out this link for the scoop. I talked to John Bone Tuesday morning. He said that his Cream Entertainment was healthy, but to get rid of his former business partner Charley Frey, he was filing for bankruptcy, to get out of the partnership he once had with him and Jerry Garfinkle, Impressive Productions.
Mike South writes: Told ya Luke...and it aint just Charlie Frey that T Bone is f---ing...its ALL his creditors. Ask people who he may owe money to.
From GeneRoss.com: "John T. Bone dismisses any stories that his company, Cream Entertainment has gone belly-up or that he has filed for bankruptcy. "What I did was bankrupt my partnerships with Jerry Garfinkle and Charley Frey," Bone said. " 'Cream Entertainment Group Inc.' is a very healthy company. It has no problems." Bone has been in the middle of a legal fracas with his ex-partners that has extended well over a year. The whole story was reported on geneross.com the beginning of last March."
This link refers to the court case between John Bowen and his former partners in Impressive Productions, Charley Frey and Jerry Garfinkle.
Luke called John Bone who did not sound happy to discuss the matter.
John: "Charley Frey has been a bane in my life. He spent too many years trying to ruin me and trying to cause too many problems. And there seems to be only one way to get rid of him and the partnership we had. Cream Entertainment is healthy, doing well, putting out movies. Cream is not involved in the dissolution of an old partnership that is the biggest mistake I ever made since I came into this industry. Beyond that I have no more intention of commenting on my personal life. If you want to ask me about the Million Man Gangbang, we're shooting it on April First. If you want to ask me about this month's releases, we're putting out four movies. A healthy company."
Charley Frey writes: 1. Print that Bowen failed to show up at the court ordered Mandatory Settlement conference. 2. Print that Bowen is trying to say that his Cream Entertainment Group, whilst doing business in the same place, using essentially the same name is "a different company" Who is he trying to kid?
Earlier in my coverage of this story, I got confused, and instead of writing that John Bowen had declared personal bankruptcy, I said the story was that Bone was dissolving the Impressive Productions partnership. Charley Frey then jumped on me, writing: "Let's get this straight. You are not printing the bankruptcy papers? You are printing crap about Bowen "dissolving" a partnership. What type of crap do you think you are pulling! You are full of s---. Why do you always publish things to make Bowen look good? Are you that blind to his bulls---?"
Luke Buys False Rumor
Late Monday night Luke wrote that the producer of Playboy's Sexcetera show had been fired. I was wrong. Pamela Lane the producer writes: "I am the producer from the Playboy show, Sexcetera, and I've not been fired. Where does this stuff come from? Playboy does not make hiring or firing decisions based on false rumors flying around the net. I had never heard of Gene Ross before Friday, and now I can't escape him! We're all having fun making a great show. So, as some famous guy once said, the rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated. Hope everyone finds something better to do -- soon. Meanwhile, all is well here. All the best, Pamela."
For more Pamela gossip, see: http://www.geneross.com/03_03_00.html
Kevin Moore of stunningcurves.com tells GeneRoss.com: ""I got nothing against Luke, but his site is full of a lot of negative stuff, and it's sad. When I've approached people about my idea, as soon as you say website, they think Luke and it has this negative connotation. I want to do a positive one, put a positive spin. Even as a fan I bought into Luke's site a little bit and realized later that it was full of it. I'm trying not to do the gossip but facts. My goal is to move out to California."
RealPornWorld.com Running
Rob Spallone's RealPornWorld.com is up and running but it has a few kinks to work out. When I went to sign up, I found this advisory about their email program: "Before signing up for an account with realpornworld.com Mail, you must review and accept the Terms and Conditions. You must be at least 13 years old or have your parent's permission to join this program."
Hal Guthu's fromer partner in his talent agency CHN, Carol Hargraves, phoned Monday afternoon. She's arranging a memorial service for the late agent. Carol wants input from people. You can contact her at artybroad@aol.com or call 949-633-2115.
Carol: "I'd like to hear from anybody who has any information on Hal... Or would like to participate in putting together a memorial service. The last name that anyone has of the last person Hal saw was a tall redhead named Pam. I'd like to talk to her."
Gossip
I hear that Paul Fishbein's new attorney, part of the West Los Angeles 310 area code, is [Jeff] Tynsdale and Nicholson.
Bo from LGI called Howard Stern's show Monday morning to claim that Kendra Jade was a drug addict. Jade supposedly had a bottle or two of Nyquil at CES.
From PornGossip.com
Luke F-rd's hunted by Rabid Jews!
According to the REAL followers of the Torah and the jewish laws, Luke F-rd is NOT a jew. They even released a cease & desist mail to his site, telling to stop saying he's jew OR ELSE. Meesa thinks this or else means a real close shave circumcision or something nasty.
Rumdar writes: "Luke..Give it up. You are NOT a Jew. You will NEVER be a Jew. One must be born into the tribe, not travel the Sammy Davis Jr. route.... Did you have a hectoring, neurotic mother? Do you suffer from the most deadly form of guilt ie.Jewish Guilt? I think not. You spread false rumors, accuse sluts of having sex with animals, and it bothers you not in the least. You are perfectly normal. Why aspire to be a Jew just to suffer a life of pain, guilt, neurosis and bad sex. Try another religion Luke. Become a Shinto."
Chaim Amalek writes: "Luke, you will never find acceptance at the hands of the ignorant secular jewish racialists who define the faith purely in terms of blood. Unless you do what I am about to suggest. Find yourself a HEALTHY jewish woman, obtain from her consent so that she donates to you a few drops of her blood, and then inject them into your bloodstream. From that point onward, you will be able to truthfully tell all who care that through your veins flows the blood of a jewish woman, which should make all the vampire jews recognize you as a MOT.
"PS Your web site would be more interesting if you simply stopped writing about pornets, or publishing anything they have to say about porn. Let 'em talk about the great German philosophers or have them share their theories of religion or race, but drop the discussions of porn."
Porngossip.com: Bo of LGI, managed to get through Howard Stern's long wait on the phone lines, this morning. He cornered Kendra Jade on the exclusive contract she is supposed to have with LGI, but is ignoring at her peril. Continuing her trend to smear LGI's reputation, rather than fulfill her legal obligations, she now says she saw cocaine use at CES. Which is it? She has talked about several different substances being used in the infamous hotel room, everytime its a different one. Witnesses that I can corroborate, only say two substances were used, the usual social drinking, and Kendra's overuse of an over-the-counter cold/flu remedy. This reporter also waited 1 1/2 hours on hold, for Howard Stern, until my cell phone's battery died. I wanted to ask Howard and Kendra about their affair that was reported Friday on this site. I will try again tomorrow to get an answer.
Kendra Jade replies: "instead of lying bo, i told the truth.anything that i have to say i openly said to your face.you are sneaky and full of s---.give it a rest.you and i both know i sat there while u snorted coke , and you and i both know that you took x up your ass, and you even stated on genes site that i was sick.you know that at that point you brought me pills, which i dont take.i took a bottle of nyquil and that was in 2 days time.yeah,bo...im a real addict.lol.you are pitiful and desperate. you know that you are the only one who keeps changing your story.bottom line is this, i refuse to keep defending myself about your bulls--- stories, bo.So say what you will, but im above all this name calling, he-said she said crap.
"At 22, im far more mature than you. why did u sit in kevin beeches office and look straight in my face andmake a deal which you changed the next day?why didnt you have the balls to say something then?why do you have the balls to call stern ,yet not the balls to call me.and what about the message on my machine that is still there?i will gladly play it in court bo.and f---, while we are at it...why dont we both take a drug test and see who the real addict is? i will take one today and come up clean....will you? one last thing, if it makes you feel like a man to be in this business for more years than i have been alive and yet sit and threaten me or lie about me or act like an immature 15 year old and play these games, then keep on doing it. a real man would have known which lines he should have never crossed. Really, grow up.youre the only one doing scumbag things while i sit back and reminisce my high school years. and one last thing call the movie whatever u want.like i give a f--- ."
PornGossip.com: I want to make some comments as someone who is outside of all the Kendra Jade histrionics. [Disclosure - I work for LGI, but prior to my employment I never worked in the Adult Industry. I am also female and drug free, as is this workplace.] As an outsider, I think that a few points have been missed by the coverage on Luke F-rd & Gene Ross.
Kendra has said some terribly inflammatory things about the "hotel" situation at CES, and played often and frequently on the sympathies of others. And that's what its about - sympathy. I have met Kendra and unfortunately she seems to be to be manipulative and, on occasion rather "flexible" with the truth. People that I trust were witnesses to the "hotel" situation at CES, and do not corroborate Kendra's version, in any way, shape or form.
Kendra may stand to make a lot of money if she can get out of the contract with LGI. These other deals she is working on, including RealPornWorld, could be better deals for her. Kendra & company just didn't want to say, "Let's work something out." Or return all the money she's taken without fulfilling her obligations. They just want LGI to cancel the contract and eat the money. This is only a rumor, but it seems Rob Spallone promised Babenet "publicity" in the way of Kendra Jade, for the RealPornWorld venture. But she wasn't free to do that, because she is under contract!
I don't know if this true in the Porn world or not, but it seems to me if I entered into a contract to do a job, it wouldn't matter if my boss was doing Drano. I still have to do the work in order to get paid. And if I take an advance, I need to work to pay it back. If I don't, its wrong. And its probably illegal. That's the way it works for all of us down here on planet Earth. This is about money & business, not drug use, not who has the biggest cajoñes or the wildest story. Money.
Rob Spallone replies: To the person who wrote the above: You better check your story with your boss before you say another word about Rob Spallone. Kendra has nothing to do with realpornworld.com. I read on porngossip.com where you printed my name Rob Spallone that I promised Babenet publicity. I promised Babenet nothing. If you have a problem, call me up. You can get my number from your boss. We buried that hatchet.
Porngossip.com: Sometime ago, at Luke and Gene's sites, there was a controversial stuff about some guys from Extreme - Luciano and Earl Slate - f---ing a brazilian hooker without a condom, and that said hooker was carrying the HIV virus. Well, last saturday the girl, supposedly identified as "Zira" in the box cover, died of respiratory failure aggravated by AIDS, and another two actress, identified as "Hedna Hoor" and "Sharon Stoned", are also discovered as HIV-Positive. Be afraid. Be REALLY afraid.
Luke's written frequently about Hollywood's gay mafia. Now there's a new book out which exposes the homosexual clique which dominates the entertainment industry.
Chaim Amalek writes: Luke, there is a new book coming out that all concerned americans must read. Its subject is discussed in the attached article, which appears in the New York Press. The NYPress is a free weekly, much like the Village Voice, except that it is of more recent provenance and has a gentile publisher. Rather more concervative than the Voice, which is gay/jewish/"of Color" in its orientation. The author is some sort of Greek-American self-styled "aristocrat".
PS CORE QUESTION FOR YOU LUKE! Based on what you now know of Hollywood and the Jews, would: a:) America; b:) Hollywood; or c:) the Jews be better off, if the jews had no more influence over the entertainment industry than their raw numbers justify? In other words, are Hollywood Jews bad for America? PS Goddess is right, I have got to spend less time writing to myself. Luke F-rd.
PPS When do I leave for my meeting with Lord Peter Luther Christian in Australia?
Luke: March 15.
From Taki's column in NYPress.com: I’m not at all surprised to read that Hollywood is dominated by a Velvet Mafia of rich homosexuals who demand sexual favors in return for work in the movies. In fact I would have been surprised if it were the other way round. Those old Mittel-Europa Jews who ran Tinseltown in its heyday established the casting-couch practice long ago; but, as they say, at least they did it with style and with the opposite sex.
The Operator: David Geffen Builds, Buys, and Sells the New Hollywood is the title of an upcoming book by Tom King, a respected Wall Street Journal reporter who it seems has hit pay dirt–and it’s dirt, all right–with his exposé of the unspeakable Geffen. Actually it’s poetic justice. Geffen invited King to write a book about his amazing rise to the top, and allegedly named dozens of former boyfriends, many of them now famous stars. Indiscretion aside, Geffen is a lowlife sans pareil. I haven’t read the book, but I am sure that some of the so-called boyfriends did it with His Grotesqueness out of burning ambition and despite their heterosexuality.
I do not exactly hang out with scum like the Velvet Mafia, but about 10 years ago I got some firsthand information about how they operate. Libel laws do not permit me to name names. One of Europe’s greatest directors of opera, stage and screen gave a letter of introduction to an ex-assistant (and boyfriend) addressed to a very rich and particularly well-known tycoon, a member of the VM. I know both the director and his younger ex-assistant and they are gentlemen of the old school. Both are gay. As the assistant presented himself to the tycoon, he offered his CV and gave the director’s regards. "Screw the regards and the CV, let’s see if you know how to..." came the answer. My friend fled in disgust.
But what bothers me is not the bestiality and arrogance of the Velvet Mafiosi. It is the message they send out through their movies. American Beauty, for example, is said to be a well-made film–I haven’t seen it–that will probably win many Oscars, but carries a subliminal message against the family. (Geffen, as rumor has it, is supposed to have been thrilled that in the movie a homophobe father beats up his son when he suspects him to have had a gay affair with Kevin Spacey’s character, and even more thrilled when it is later revealed that the homophobe was actually a repressed gay.) Geffen, of course, denies there is such a thing as a homosexual cabal, and, typically, charges anti-Semitism.
According to King’s book, friends like Barry Diller, Sandy Gallin and Calvin Klein, among many others, keep a lower profile but apparently indulge in the sexual bacchanals that go with the territory. Alleged weekend-long orgies fueled by drugs at which Geffen and his powerful buddies run a " meat market" selecting young men for sex are apparently described in detail in King’s opus. Here is one of Bill Clinton’s close supporters, one who had a free run of the Lincoln bedroom, and was, I believe, once even called an adviser to the Draft Dodger, pushing a gay agenda of promoting stars and directors who make movies and records sympathetic to the gay lifestyle. Geffen is a natural for the Clinton White House. Sleaze is the operative word. Just think what Sid (the scumbag) Blumenthal would have done to Geffen if the tycoon were straight and a Republican. Has anyone in the Clinton administration–and that includes Al (the Liar) Gore–bothered to ask whether the Geffen agenda undermines our most important values? If anyone has, I’m Monica Lewinsky.
Which brings me to the point I wish to make. Political correctness is the best way the left has to stamp out thought it doesn’t agree with. As the Spectator of London wrote recently, "If it’s impossible to say or write certain things, then it becomes impossible to think them and conformity is guaranteed for ever and ever." George Orwell’s 1984 is alive and thriving with p.c., except that this time it’s for real.
What the left and its p.c. adherents have managed to do is to turn everyone who is not mainstream into a persecuted racial minority. As Paul Craig Roberts (the best columnist by far) pointed out in the John Rocker case, "Bud Selig thinks that kids with purple hair, repeat felons, welfare moms and homosexuals with AIDS are ‘ethnicities.’" Selig, in his haste to please the politically correct, misinterpreted Rocker’s remarks. Most kids with purple hair are white, not black, and repeat felons are criminals, not a racial classification. There are many white immigrants who don’t speak English–as in Russians–but try to explain this to p.c. commissars. Geffen and his ilk know all this. Ergo the anti-Semitism defense.
Hollywood has never exactly been a moral place, far from it, but until the 60s and 70s it preached a hell of a moral lesson. God, the family, patriotism, even Mom were sacrosanct. Now it’s the exact opposite. Criminals are sympathetically portrayed, cops always negatively; people who think same-gender sex is wrong are fascists; businessmen are all crooks, while crooks are nice and quaint; drug-takers are cool, drinkers are fascist bullies. Well, you get the point. AIDS ribbons are in, while battle decorations are a real no-no. HIV, like lung cancer, is a lifestyle disease, but HIV carriers are celebrated in the manner winners of the Congressional Medal of Honor used to be.
It is a topsy-turvy world, Hollywood, and I can’t wait to read Tom King’s book. In the meantime, don’t hold your breath before the Geffen spin machine, in cahoots with such Clinton flacks as the grotesque Geraldo Rivera, go to work on the author. After all, if a phony like Jeffrey Toobin can demonize Starr and acquit Bill Clinton, think what his kind can do in defense of the ghastly Geffen.
Jim writes: Luke - time for a history lesson on movies and the jews. Jewish people became merchants and bankers in the middle ages as a direct result of their being banned from owning land (and therefore farming like many of the christians). It was one of their few options. They took it, did well, and were later despised for their success. In the modern age we see a lot of jewish people in hollywood and filtering into other related media. Why? Similar reason.
When Edison took steps to monopolize not only movie theaters but also movie production in the early years of this century, they cut everyone else off, particularly jewish-run film production. They used all kinds of means to do it, and it is one of Edison's ugliest legacies. The jewish studio people moved as far away from Edison's dominance as they could. Edison was in New York, so they went to California. American people over the years preferred the films of Hollywood to those of Edison's gang. Not unpredictable - it's those with the crummiest content that often want the monopoly. Or they get lazy and fat from lack of competition. In any case, once again the business the jews fought for succeeded. Not only that but the competition withered and faded until now we only have Hollywood. And once again bigoted people say they dislike "jewish hollywood".
Well, come up with your own more popular movies if you can, people. Hollywood owns media due to it's long term popularity. Now, a lot of non-jewish people have come into and been successful in Hollywood in the years since. But it should be no surprise that the numbers are still strongly oriented to the gang that started Hollywood. I'm surprised that you, as a jewish convert (I am not) haven't cleared this up in the past. The essence of it is that jews built businesses under all adversity and after being completely blocked from other livlihoods. And when they succeeded against all odds, in time their struggle was forgotten and all the non-jewish bigots start bellowing "hey how come all the banking (entertainment, law, etc.) is run by the jews?" As a culture, the jewish-american gang are the most successful and driven of them all. Replace any american political issue about hispanics or blacks with the word "jewish" and you'll find yourself laughing. No one worries about jewish welfare mothers. No one worries about affirmative action to hire jews. They are too successful to need help. Other cultures could learn a lot from jewish-american culture!
Johnathan writes: A clarification. There's nothing objectionable in this post, except the facts are very distorted. Almost all the Jewish entrepeneurs who went into the movie business started as theatre owners. In the early days, they owned variety theatres that started to add in movie shows. In the later days, they were more movie theatres to begin with. They moved to California mostly for the weather; they could shoot outdoors all year long. Remember that with silents, you could shoot outdoors cheaply anywhere because you didn't have to control the sound around you. Edison did try to restrict access to his studios, but that had little effect because studios in those days weren't expensive sound stages and there was no expensive color process.
It's hard to imagine nowadays, but before radio every town had more than one theatre. Jews owned theatres, just as many other groups in society did. Many Jewish owned theatres catered to the recent tidal wave of immigrants. That some of these owners adapted to the new reality is a testament to the Jewish ability to improvise and accept risk. Actually, if you read about the economics, you see that the theatres which showed movies had such huge increases in business that going into that business, either by making films, getting more theaters or both, was a no-brainer.
It's true that Edison loved monopolies - he wanted to do the same thing with electric lights - but the movie business was highly fragmented in the early years. In fact, the only barrier to entry was getting the product to show, since anyone with a theatre or even a make-shift screen could show silent movies. Edison thought in terms of vertical integration, owning both the product and the place to show it. He couldn't control other producers from doing the same, given the low barriers to entry and the newness and apparent insatiability of the market, and vertical control became the industry standard, especially for studios like Zukor's Paramount.
It was this vertical integration which allowed the studio system to flourish; the studios made A and B films and speciality stuff, including asian, black and jewish films, to fill the bills at their theatres. They controlled enough theatres that independent theatre owners and small chains were strongly "encouraged" to play along. That control wasn't broken until the famous consent decree forced the studios to divest their theaters - ironically, when TV was making inroads. (One of the last vestiges of that decree fell only a few year ago, the prohibition against studio ownership of shows.) A good book on this subject is Neal Gabler's An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood.
Laura writes: Responding to Taki's column about a so-called "gay mafia" in Hollywood. I believe the book is full of crap and its author as well as Taki himself are filthy, right wing, homophobic scumbags with an agenda. That being a right wing "culture war" to spread even more fear and hatred of homosexuals in this country. And yes it is also at the same time anti-Semitic. As far as the columnists attacks on the Clinton white house is concerned, I'll take Clinton anyday over the phony right wing republican "family values" hypocrites who have spent the last eight years preaching to the country about how evil and immoral Clinton is all the while doing the same and far worse thinking nobody would ever find out. Gingrich, Burton, Livingston, Chenowith, Barr and Hyde come to mind. Not to mention the far worse immorality of some of these republican parasites in Congress and the Senate who have ties to hate groups.
And about his comments on John Rocker's treatment, for anyone who thinks Rocker's free speech rights were violated I'll put it this way, if a waiter or waitress for example were to spew racial slurs to thier patrons would the restaurant have the right to fire that employee? Would the restaurant owner be violating thier employee's free speech? I think the answer is obvious, they would have every right to fire that person. John Rocker insulted Major League Baseball's fan's, the people who pay to see the games, therefore MLB had every right to discipline Rocker, his freedom of speech was not violated. The constitution says there shall be no LAW abridging the right of free speech, meaning the government can't take action against anyone for speaking out. However any private company or institution has the right to punish for offensive speech as they see fit.
Chaim Amalek responds: Luke, the article by Taki seems to have hit a few exposed nerves in Luke-Land, especially amongst secular jews and the sexually confused. You can always tell when an article or position has had this effect, as the sj's are left sputtering in rage, spitting out such fave words as "homophobe", "racist" and - with the largest dollop of bile - "right winger".
Laura-person writes: "I believe the book is full of crap and its author as well as Taki himself are filthy, right wing, homophobic scumbags . . ."
In fact, the author of the Geffen biography (which she admits to never having read), Tom King, is a well-respected journalist with the Wall Street Journal. As far as his being a "filthy, right wing, homophobic scumbag" for writing a less than laudatory biography of the homosexual Mr. Geffen, well, King is an openly gay journalist who is certainly not of the self-hating variety. There is no reason to think that he did a dishonest job just because he found that Geffen is no angel and had the balls to write what he learned. Being gay does not trump the truth. Or does Laura-person think that gays are morally obligated to defend "their own" no matter what the truth? (Tell me, Laura-person, do you think that the heterosexual biographer Robert Caro, whose Pulitzer-Prize winning biographies of such well known heterosexuals as Robert Moses and Lyndon Johnson were very hard on their subjects, must therefore be a heterophobic scumbag?)
To be charitable to this Laura, it is likely that she was looking right past Geffen and reacting to Taki. The article by Taki assumes a tone that likely is very different from that of the King book (to judge from his work in the Journal). For the benefit of those of your readers who do not live in New York, Taki clearly is the least politically correct writer permitted to publish in a major New York publication. From my reading of his work over the last few years, it is clear that Taki does not particularly like the culture of liberal american jews (which includes Geffen, Barry Diller, Ralph Lifs---s, et al.), or the effect that this culture has had on the post-war west. It is also a safe bet that, like tens of millions of Americans whose views on the subject rarely find expression in major media (except to serve as an object lesson on the penalties meted out to dissenters like Rocker), Taki does not agree that you can never have too much diversity, sexual or racial. But none of this relates to Geffen as a human being, or to the veracity of King's book, and to tie one to the other is simply dishonest. Such specious reasoning might work on the dumb goyim (i.e., the human cattle who jerk off to internet porn and dumbly watch whatever the secular jews put before them on television that night), but it cannot work on a talmud-trained jewish mind like Luke's.
Kaspar writs: Hey Luke! I like it when you get all political on us - reminds us that politics and sex go together like a baby and marriage! Which brings me to something you have not written about, but which I guess you have some opinion on, prop 22. I think one of the key reasons it won as big as it did is the big mexican-american vote (what can I say, our women are FERTILE!). You see, in my community, the bible counts for something, and people know that certain things, like marriage between men and dogs, or between men and men, just ain't proper. That's why you saw so much political action on this issue in our churces and media (or at least you would have if you'd looked). There is a strong tradition of family within California’s Latino community, and a lot of those ads in favor of prop 22 played on it. Did you catch that one ad in which you see a large Latino family at the 50th wedding anniversary of the family’s matriarch and patriarch? I mean, it really got to me. I want my grandkids to live in a world that respects marriage as a hetero thing, not something queers can pick up and ware like the latest fashion from france. And it also got to the other 67% of Latino voters who voted with me in favor of Prop. 22. So today, even more than usual, I am proud to be a Mexican American. About your web site - Great mix of news, commentary, and porn, but why not a little more about the women of my community, who would much rather be with their men than with any of those lesbians you talk about?
Luke: Yes, I passionately supported Proposition 22 which defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

The Ten Commandments Of Dating
The Ten Commandments of Dating! DATING IN THE YEAR 2000 IS COMPLEX -- but you can stay on the right track by following tips found in the Bible, reveals a rabbi in a new book titled Dating Secrets of the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments can be used as "an effective dating code," Rabbi Schumley Boteach said in a recent interview. Here is a sample of how the clergyman's unusual new back-to-the-Bible approach uses God's laws:
I THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART AND WITH ALL THY SOUL AND ALL THY MIGHT. Rabbi Boteach says this tells people not to be conceited. God is the center of the universe, not you -- so don't try to convince your date otherwise. "Stop making an idol of yourself on a date," he says. "Show openness."
II THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. Just as the Lord wants your undivided attention, potential love partners hate it when you yap about former boyfriends or girlfriends. "Don't be haunted by ghosts past," advises the rabbi.
III THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN. Men think potty-mouthed women are low-class and gals find cussing and boastful talk from men a turn-off.
IV KEEP THE SABBATH DAY TO SANCTIFY IT. Setting aside a day for the Lord's business is the surest way of showing Him your love. And in the same way, devoting time exclusively to your sweetheart is vital. "Give your date the gift of time: Yourself," the clergyman suggests.
V HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER. This Command-ment is about gratitude, Rabbi Boteach explains. Just as we should be grateful to our parents despite all their faults, we should be willing to overlook the minor flaws of potential mates who have much to offer. Instead of being finicky, he says, you should give a date "a chance to sweep you off your feet."
VI THOU SHALT NOT KILL. Avoid harsh criticism. "Words kill worse than a knife," says the rabbi. "Be lavish with your praise. Do you know how a woman feels when she's told she's gorgeous? When men are thanked for the preparation they've put into a date?"
VII THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY. Adultery can mean giving yourself sexually to someone who doesn't deserve it. "People should delay sex until they're emotionally intimate," he says.
VIII THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. "A person's most prized possession is not their car, it's their heart," Rabbi Boetech says. "Don't mislead people on dates."
IX THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR. Building trust is very important in a relationship, so never lie -- and keep your commitments. "If you say you'll be there at 8:00, be there at 8:00," says Rabbi Boteach.
X THOU SHALT NOT COVET. "Stop looking over your shoulder at who you're not dating," says the Rabbi. "Focus on who you are dating."
Punk & Porn
Peter Hayes writes: If you are one of those that people that like to mix porn and punk then why not check out The Dwarves latest record over at www.epitaph.com Here you can get to hear their latest record - via realplayer - "Come Clean" but see their tasteful latest album cover!!! Here is what they say about themselves:
"COME CLEAN"
From their humble beginnings as a garage band in Illinois, the Dwarves have secretly controlled the fate of Rock n' Roll. Lurking in the shadows the Dwarves laid seed to their evil plans and waited to strike. As the derelict older brother of the grunge explosion in Seattle, the Dwarves made a name for themselves as the hardest vilest band in the land. Now, sitting on top of a revolutionary new album, the Dwarves find themselves the last man standing in the cage match for the soul of rock n' roll. The Dwarves don't kiss ass.
The Dwarves do what they like and let some one else worry about the consequences. Their erotic and shocking cover for 'Blood Guts and Pussy' got them banned from most retail chains. While their propensity for 5 minute shows which ended in an explosion of microphone stands; drums kits and nude bodies didn't help the band win any favor with club promoters either. The constant controversy over the band drew the attention of mainstream press and their bad reputation made them the band that fans would not soon forget. While the industry geeks withered in their seats, the fans squirmed with delight.
Just as people were beginning to get an idea of what to expect from the Dwarves, the band went and changed all of the rules. Upon the release of 'Young And Good Looking', the band entered a new era in their songwriting. The Dwarves began to incorporate catchy melodic choruses as well as stepping up their production value with the help of producer Eric Valentine (Third Eye Blind, Smash Mouth). Young And Good Looking successfully raised the bar of what The Dwarves could accomplish musically and broke all of the rules by which the Dwarves played music. Young and Good Looking was released well below the mainstream radar, however it soon garnered the attention of Epitaph who quickly snatched up the record and the band.
No longer anchoring themselves to the traditional recording formula, The Dwarves boldly began to experiment with the technology that would help to make their next album a reality. Embracing the Wu Tang Clan approach, the band enlisted a string of guitar players, drummers, singers, producers and engineers to work on the new record. The Dwarves had become a commando force, holding up in abandoned houses, basement and various studios in San Francisco and Los Angeles to work on the album. Cutting edge technology had freed the band from the binds of the traditional studio recording process and enabled the band to experiment with their sound over the period of almost two years.
The result is Come Clean, an album that breaths new life into rock
n' roll by incorporating all the traditional elements of the punk
rock rainbow and then pushing them into the 21st century with driving
beats and layers of sound. With reputation well in hand and the goods
to back it up the Dwarves sit in the shadows and wait. The secret
overlords of rock n' roll once again pull the strings and watch the
puppets dance to their evil tune. The Dwarves may very well be the
last hope that rock n' roll really has.
