Rob Spallone's Back In Town - Sharon Mitchell Watch Out!

It was like old times Friday afternoon when I called Rob Spallone's office. I chatted for a few minutes with Kendra Jade, then talked to my buddy Rob for the first time in six weeks.

Rob: "You're in big trouble. You're a real asshole. I've got more scoop than you can imagine. But you never return my phone calls."

Luke: "I was in Israel."

Rob: "You better get your ass here tomorrow."

Luke: "It will be the Sabbath. I will be in synagogue."

Rob: "Sharon Mitchell is full of s---. She's badmouthing me behind my back and trying to talk nice to me and lying. She's robbing so much money. She's in debt up to her ass. She says she does 300-400 tests a month. If you do the math, she's making $25 a test. That's ten grand. Where's all the money? Why is she so far in debt? She pays $1800 a month rent. She can't afford that.

"The guy on her board, Jane Waters, tried to shake me down. I almost killed him. I almost killed him. He shook me down."

Luke: "He wanted you to donate money to AIM?"

Rob: "Yeah, on a shakedown. Ron Sullivan was shooting here. And he introduces me to this guy in the morning. I go out to get my car fixed. I come back and Ron says he has a problem. The cameraman doesn't want to shoot on the internet. So I bring the guy into the office and say, let me show you the site. So, Smartass says, don't I have to sign a model release? I say, no you don't have to sign a model release. He says why, because of the signs at the door? I say yeah, that's why.

"And I'm saying, let me just show it to you. Because I don't want to charge Ron to shoot here and shut [down] the [internet] cameras and you lose your gig for the day. He says, oh, I don't care.

"So I say, let me just show you. He says, wait, I have a better idea. Now, he knew who I was. I didn't know who he was. He says, you make a donation to AIM, and I'll shoot here. I f---ing cunted him all the way out the door. Then he ran right to Sharon Mitchell.

"Then four hours later, when I found out who he was, I called up Sharon Mitchell. She said, oh Rob, I knew nothing about it. That's horrible. How could he do that? I've got to find out.

"But he had already told her. So she was playing my dick. Then he called up Ron Sullivan, wanting to know if it would be all right for him to call me and apologize. So I said, if he calls and apologizes, it will be fine.

"I went to Gene Ross. Gene called up Sharon and Jane Waters. She made like she didn't know anything about it... So she lied again. And he tells Gene Ross, that he was defending AIM. I did not bring AIM into the conversation, he did. So he's full of s---. Then I was trying to help....some kid (Jason McCain) who goes to her clinic. And he said, I was just at AIM and Sharon was saying how she helped your brother with a drug problem. She did. And that your clinic is closing down in three weeks. That they're ripping the building down. What?

"I said, is she f---ing crazy? Because I was going to let her move in there. I was going to give it to her for free. She wouldn't have needed any donations.

"She's robbing everybody in this industry. She sent Jim Lane and a whole bunch of other companies a thank you note... Thank you for donating $250. He didn't donate. She was sending him a bill to donate. Balls.

"I offered Sharon Mitchell the f---ing world, trying to help her. And she was backstabbing me the whole time. She called up here on a Saturday night. She probably couldn't sleep. 'Oh Rob, I am so sorry. I don't want to start World War III again. I didn't know that he did that. That was so wrong...'

"I've been very nice. I haven't bothered her. She helped me with my brother. And I tried to help her. Now she's finished. She's going out of business. She's done."

Homegrownvideo.com Update

Stefanie writes on Netpond: I'm all freakin' out right now- MSNBC was just here to do a piece on us, and they interviewed me and I was so nervous that I rambled and ended every sentence with "so...you know." Nice. And they filmed my bad side! I'm really cute from the left, but not so sweet from the right :( Luckily Farrell's interview went well- they filmed him filming a girl for one of our site's live shows. You can't really go wrong with footage of a girl in her underware- it has to be good. We got our web address in a bunch of times, so as long as they air that, I suppose it doesn't matter what other silly things i said!

Pat Riley

Prometheus Books critic Patrick Riley writes on RAME: Dominica Leoni is really cute but her tits look unnaturally firm. Can't see any scars though and there's no obvious pucker when she's in doggie. Contrary to my previous guess it turns out that she's Czech (I suppose there are one or two cute Czech girls) and she said that she has done 200 movies! Now maybe this is an English language question--"two" translating to "two hundred" maybe?--but I have some difficulty with that. Maybe these are all Euro movies, never released in the US? Until we see her with Ed I guess we won't know.

>What's your problem with Lexington Steele?

PR: Only employed to split the girls in two. You're never going to get a good scene with him; always a circus act. Maybe if you had some girl with a huge vagina or rectum but then you wouldn't want to screw her yourself.

Mr Marcus - Time Travelor

Simon Wiesenthal writes on MrMarcus.com: Mr. Marcus if you could travel back in time to f--- any famous bitch in history or go back in time to kill Adolph Hitler which would you choose?

Mr Marcus replies: Neither. f--- Hitler. Nuff' said. Like it right here, right now.

Bianca Trump replies: I SUCK DICK for a living IDIOT ....no one said I need to spell.In fact no one but you cares if I can! Have a nice day

BrandyA [not Brandy Alexandre, the ex-porn star] writes: Get that bitch out of here! She's only here to pimp her f---in' sites. She don't love black dick and the bitch is OLD! Marcus wasn't born yesterday you cunt!

BrandyAlx1 writes Luke: I did NOT write that and you better take it down NOW and put in a comment that I did not say it

Fuji writes on MrMarcus.com: In fact, if they gave college degrees for dick sucking, Bianca would have a Ph.D so everyone be chill.

Fuji writes: Hey Mr. Marcus, Get that hottie Samantha Stylle from the Seymore Butts series on the casting couch. She is hot for black dick.

Jimmy Mooch writes: The real reason why white porn ho's won't do brothas is because video company owners, producers & directors constantly tell them not to do Black guys. These ho's aren't the brightest crayons in the box.

Mac: I dont wanna come off like im askin for a favor....im just go keep it real and ask how do i get in the porno business. Of course someone always puts someone else on, so im comin to u and askin you to give some info i need to know...im a 23 year old black male fresh outta the military with a lot of energy...not sayin i wanna make this a career, but i wanna give it shot...besides ive been watchin these movies since i was 12 and i still think...no i know my dick is bigger than some of these cats i see on these movies. Thanks i appreciate it if u would respond..i wrote maybe a year ago and u never did..

TotalK: Just make sure you stay away from the white women boy. You stick with your own black bitches and you will do alright!

Charles writes Luke: First of all there is no comparison between White Boy and nigger so get that out of you head now. The reason that white women love black men is because they are trying something that was forbidden to them. Just like the apple in the Garden of Eden. If you are told that you can't have something naturally that will make you more curious. To Big Whitey, smarten up this is the year 2000 its easy to say all of these racial comments on line but in real life you would get your ass Whooped. Your so afraid that black men and women will take your place in society. Be afraid because there are more numbers of us comming out of college every year. But there is enough of the American Pie for us all. Where scary white boys like your self our scared to leave you security blanket and are being left back. A word of advise You only beginn to become wise when you reallize how ignorant that you are, and open your eyes.

Net Porners Vow To Clean House

From ZDNN: The king and queen of Internet porn -- Dannie Ashe and Andrew Edmond -- have decided that their realms are pretty seamy. They say e-mail hucksters and thousands of money-hungry porn sites are letting everything from bestiality to kiddy porn available to anyone, including children.

Now Ashe and Edmond are trying to clean up the industry before regulators do it for them, they told a panel of commissioners that will be helping Congress rewrite the nation's child pornography laws in October. The two are perhaps the closest thing that Internet porn has to leadership.

Ashe heads a Web-porn empire with more than 100 million customers. Her website, Danni's Hard Drive, is the most popular destination of any genre that is owned by, or features, a woman. Edmond is chief executive officer of Flying Monkeys, which has a stable of more than 280,000 adult entertainment sites in cyberspace.

"The type of dent we can put into this problem of protecting children from pornography is enormous," the gum chewing, chain smoking Edmond said during a break in hearings held Thursday by a panel of industry executives and academics exploring possible changes to the nation's Child Online Protection Act. Ashe agreed, but said it is Edmond who wields the real influence because his way of doing business, trading traffic or sending out e-mail lists, is more the norm for the industry.

Matt writes on Netpond: After reading the Ynot news for the past 4 months, I get this funny picture in my head. SexTracker, now owns Ynot. Picture this, Andy Edmonds (new owner of Ynot) comes into the office of the person who writes the headlines for today's stories. Andy says " Move over Jr. Im writing the headlines today."

"Ok today's Top story -- hmmm, Am I the Leader of this industry, Porn king, or maybe Net Wiz Kid ? no, no I got it. " Top Story, Porn King, Leader of the Adult Industry, will Change this adult thing all by myself, "s---, typo," I mean all by himself. Thats right, the Net wiz Kid who single handedly change the way we jerk off, now offers a break thru product. Now you dont have to guess how many times you spanked that monkey. You put up a small counter on the page, that shows the reloads for the day. Software that the Net Wiz Leader created from scratch. "So Jr. what do you think? Never mind what you think, I gotta get back to the office and work on the next headlines.

KB: Everyone knows that Serge is the King and Andy is the "queen" of porn....... " At the COPA, Copa Cabana, the hottest spot north of Havana"...that's more like it!

Kevin Blatt Wasted

I phoned Kevin Blatt at the ungodly hour of 11:30 AM Friday. He sounded wasted though he vehemently denies being wasted.

Kevin: "This girl just left..."

Luke: "You've been with Nicole, the Hooters girl?"

Kevin: "Her name is Cali Summers now."

Luke: "What was she doing at your place this time of the day?"

Kevin: "Getting ready to do some more photo shoots. We shot her all day yesterday. We did about four shoots with her. She was gorgeous."

Luke: "This is the first time she's done porno?"

Kevin: "Yeah, we're breaking her in. Yesterday she did some masturbation scenes. It was hot. She looks like such a shiksa [non-Jewish woman]. She came three times. I've never seen anything like it."

Kevin Blatt writes: "What's with the wasted s--- dude? I work until 4:00 in the morning online and then maybe I get some.... I am just tired most of the time, after 6:00 pm is when I get wasted..."

Breast Implants

LT writes: Luke, catching up, I have a few comments on the "Night of the Stars". Amused used my term, "Night of the Breast Implant Scars". I love it!

Of course, I've used that term to describe any gathering of porn women and industry big shots...because it applies (AVN Awards, any convention).

And there was this...Gene Ross said "I write for the industry, for producers...whereas he [Luke] writes for the fans. His stuff is specifically aimed for their psyche so he tends to try to stir s--- up more, because that's what they like. The industry wants to read for information on who's doing what shoot and who's signing who to a contract..."

So, is that why Gene so gleefully reports the boob jobs of certain starlets and has posted pro-implant and pro-cosmetic surgery propaganda to his site? That is important info for the industry?, for the producers?. How? Why? So they can talk the next girl into getting them (and I use the term "talk" loosely).

His site has featured the FDA ruling that saline implants were safe, included an item on the silicone gel implant settlement, an article debunking safety concerns and one from a cosmetic surgeon shilling for business. Why is all of that so important for the industry and producers?. Also, then why report only certain starlets boob jobs and not others? And why did certain things possibly deemed negative along these lines disappear from the AVN site? Just wondering.

Luke, so Cumisha Amado went and got breast implants after all this time in and around the business. Why now?. She is another one that used to be against them?. What (or who) changed her mind?. Ask her if she had pressure before to get them and from who. And why she managed to avoid it for so long...and again, why now?. Good grief man, you are dropping the ball.

Chud writes: I'm mysterfied by the comments about the safety of Breast plants or not- Who gives a s--- if they're safe? (well.. i guess the users do..)

Fake breasts look unnatural- they sit funny, are easy to spot, and bad ones can look swollen or just plain silly- Breast implants are just *not* sexy. I'm sure i'm not alone in saying that small breasts or large are both cool in their own way, but overlarge fake breasts (which seems to be the industry norm...) just make the woman with them look stupid.

Sure, if a woman is a small A or AA and feels insecure about it and goes to a C to feel good about herself, then more power to her. To all the silly bitches who jump to some Silly DD cup or bigger, get your gross disfigurments out of porn! I'm really curious though if i'm the only one to feel this way? I guess if you've never had sex with a real woman, or felt real breasts, you might be under the illusion that fake plastic breasts are sexy......

Driftma writes on CheyenneSilver.com: I can't believe Vivid forces its girls to get boob jobs!! Cheyenne's appeal is her natural-ness. Doesn't Vivid understand that? People's tastes are moving away from that fake boob stuff. They want reality. That's just disgusting how they have to scar someone for life just so someone can act in Vivid's stupid movies. I hope they are giving her the big bucks.

GCastic writes on CheyenneSilver.com: First off, take it from someone who knows, Vivid did NOT and does NOT force any of it's girls to get boob jobs. The Vivid girls are free to negotiate their contracts. Cheyenne had the choice to get the implants or not to get them. She chose to get them.

Secondly, she did not go from an "A" to a "DD." She's now a small "C," if that, and they look fantastic!!! You'd never know she had them done unless you look at them under a microscope. And the last time I talked to her, she was very pleased with them; especially since she didn't have any scarring.

I agree that porn is moving away from fake tits, but once you see pictures and movies of Cheyenne with her new tits, you'll be jerking off twice as much as before. To be boldly honest, her tits sagged a little before the implants. Enough to gross you out or make you think she's not beautiful??? No. But they definitely needed a little filling out. Vivid makes their money because of how the girls look. Do you honestly think that they would mame or scar the very people who bring in the cashflow for them?? Of course not. Look at the current Vivid roster: Cassidey- natural, Raylene- fake, Dasha- natural, Lori Michaels-natural, Cheyenne Silver- fake, Dayton- natural, Kira Kener- fake, Devon- fake. Four natural girls, four fake; all gorgeous. Everyone should be pleased.

Just because so many porn girls have been butchered with lousey boob jobs doesn't mean that there aren't doctors whose work borders on perfection.

Kid Vegas vs Tony Eveready

Kid Vegas writes: "Hey Luke Hows things. Me just f---ed up on various drugs, sound good, yeah..I just wanted to comment on court the other day, I was offered by Tony Eveready' s legal representation $1500.00 dollars for the losses I had occured during the month of March because of the injuries. I turned down the amount because I thought it would be more fun to watch him dig deep in those empty pockets every month & think about who he had to pay. So I received my full amount of $3125.50 in restitution for the unprovoked attack, in which of course I did not involve my lawyer, or incur all my contacts that did want me to work that month for work. This is a message to all you low-life street trash, crime does not pay, Tony does though, if he isn't broke from that attorney. 3 year restaining order also makes it impossible for Tony Eveready to attend our Big Event in Las Vegas, CES, & the AVN Awards, as of next week my attorney is getting that order inforced in Las Vegas, Nevada. Peace out fans, ohh, & check me out on the cover of the AVN this month August..."

Luke: I talked to Tony Eveready. Tony says to Kid Vegas, that when you feel man enough to whup his ass, come do it! Till then, Tony Eveready says you should not act like a bitch. Worry about the Aryans who keep popping up at Bukkake looking for his punk ass. Tony says he does not play internet games.

Kid Vegas responds: Tell him no I do not waste my time on street trash & that those boys at bukkake are not true aryans, they are transients who wish they could be like me, who jack off for a lousey $50.00 on film, & who probably forge their tests. Also they will not be working at Bukkake anymore because it is a Legend shoot & I will make sure. True Aryans do not bother people like me, because they know what I am about....

Tony tells Luke: "He received $1500. He is infuriating. I ain't broke or I wouldn't have private counsel. Luke do not even bother me with Kid Vegas stupid ass s---. I don't want to be bothered by the dumb s--- that his punk ass has to say. I'm tired of hearing anything that that coward motherf---er has so say anyway. He'll talk all kinda s--- about how he'll f--- somebody up then he'll run like a bitch when he gets his ass beat. Call police and s---.

"I told you that I am tired of all this internet s---. Don't post s--- about me... Next time he emails you anything about me, tell him that unless he wants to handle something, keep my name out of his f---ing mouth. That you ain't even taking part in this s--- because you're tired of all these games. All it is a circus.

"He ain't even going to get the $1500. I didn't even have time to argue it in court [Wednesday]... We both had other s--- to do so we just went ahead and said ok, we'll agree to whatever... The two jobs that he missed because of his injuries... He claimed that he missed a job with GM Video at Lake Havasu. Well, they don't go to the river in March. He claimed that he lost a $1000 from GM Video... Well, it was raining in March.

"He claims that he missed $500 from a Rex Ryder shoot. Rex Ryder doesn't put out Kid Vegas movies. Legend does. This is all stupid s--- that he tried to pull in court. I didn't have time to deal with it that day."

Luke: "He claims that there is a three-year restraining order against you which will make it impossible for you to attend CES."

Tony: "Oh please, no, it will not make it impossible to attend. First, the restraining order is only good in California. Second, we spoke to the judge before any restraining order was issued and they know that we both work in the same motherf---ing industry and everything else. If we end up the same place like the awards show, so long as I don't intentionally go bother him... If intentionally comes my way, he makes his own restraining order null and void.

"Email Kid Vegas back and tell him to quit being a little bitch and act like a man and do something. Dig deep into my broke pockets. I make at least five grand every motherf---ing month. How much does he make? All he does is shoot his own s---. Nobody even hires the boy.

"When he feels man enough to finally whup my ass, let him come do it. If he calls himself a man, why does he run to the police? He should be worrying about all his motherf---ing Aryans who keep popping up at Bukkake looking for him. Tell him that the bald headed guy he used to hang out with will be out of prison in one more week. And he's looking for Kid Vegas. This motherf---er pistol-whipped somebody for Kid Vegas in his defense at a party. And Kid Vegas started talking s--- to him, why did you do that? So he pistol whipped Kid Vegas and they went to court. And [the bald guy] got a year parole violation. And they've been at Bukkake every time Jim Lane shoots one, looking for that boy.

"Tell him that he better be worried about this. I know everytime he pops up at a club because I know bouncers at all the clubs in Hollywood. I know every time he pops up at a private party. People call me all the time. If I wanted his ass, I could get him but I'm not worried about him. The only time I think about him is when you call me with things he's said."

So stop by the Napoleon Suites at the Paris Hotel on August 28th and find out for yourself why LANDMARK Publications is the answer.

Charley Frey, Jerry Garfinkle Win Over Bowen In Default Judgement?

It appears that Charley Frey and Jerry Garfinkle have defeated John Bowen and his use of the name "Cream Entertainment." A default ruling was handed down today.

JMT writes: Try actually reading it. Garfinkle's name appears to have been stricken from the judgment [not "judgement"], and it's only applicable to Cream Entertainment Group Inc., not Bowen himself. Bowen probably isn't losing any sleep over this.

Charley Frey writes: Luke; read the judgement; it specifically says: John Bowen etc..., individually!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yipee!!!!!!!!

John Bowen: I couldn't give a f---. I haven't owned [the name] Cream in more than a year.

Luke: So what exactly happened in this court case?

Charley Frey: Bowen Lost.

LF: What does it mean?

CF: Bowen cannot represent himself as Cream

LF: How does it vindicate you?

CF: We were proven right.

LF: Will John still operate as "Cream Entertainment"?

CF: Hopefully, so we can sue him again.

LF: What will this ruling mean for John?

CF: He is personally liable.

LF: What is new with Charley Frey?

CF: We just produced, and are about to release The Wack Pack Video which stars Alexandra Quinn, and Cleopatra with the Howard Stern Wack Pack www.WackPackVideo.com

We just finished the first of three in a series called "Figa Figa Foo" which is the highest budget all-girl feature shot in years (probably since ZAZEL) the girls are awesome and the sex is incredible. It stars Cleopatra, Syren, and Grace Harlow (last seen in ZAZEL) amongst several other awesome blondes.

We are releasing a hysterically funny series based on Mister Softee; and some of the wildest little porn sluts from Florida and, as Jasmin St.Clair has given up shooting porn; and pretty much anything anyone had on her has already been released...we are going to release a movie that I have been holding on to for years; which is her first hardcore porn ever shot, and includes the first hardcore scenes ever of Shyla Foxx too; plus it is Jasmin St.Clair's only lesbian scene ever with Shyla Foxx too!

LF: Do you feel you've been treated unfairly by the porn media because John is such a master of the porn media?

CF: I think he gets over only on the little people of the press.

LF: I will publish your responses exactly as you send them. Thanks.

JMT writes: "The part of the default judgment that includes Bowen indiviudally is just the caption, i.e., the name that the case was initially commenced under. Cream Entertainment Group Inc. is the only party that has the judgment entered against it. There is no way of telling from this judgment alone whether or not Bowen was ever served with the summons and complaint, whether or not Bowen was dismissed as a defendant after the complaint was filed, whether or not Bowen is or ever was a party subject to the court's jurisdiction in this case, or whether the case is still pending as against Bowen. Basically everything Frey is quoted as saying is wrong, or at least not supported by this default judgment."

I talked to John Bone at noon. He says he has not used the name "Cream Entertainment" for a year. His company is now called "John T. Bone Company." John works with Joe Spallone.

Luke: "How does this default ruling make you feel?"

John: "To be absolutely frank, I don't give a f---. What do I care?"

The other phone line rings. John picks up a call from Jasmine St. Clair. She thinks he's 4-1-1. She wants a phone number.

As my conversation with John resumes, he gets another call. This one from Gene Ross seeking commment on this story.

Today's talk with John is my first deep talk with him in a year. I can't help loving this rascal (he's never done anything bad to me, he just has a bad reputation with some other porners I know). I know of nobody in the industry who is more charming, more witty, more incisive and a better student of human nature than Bowen. Nobody in porn knows me better than John.

My talk with Bowen today reminds me of my deeply therapeutic sharing session I had with John's friend Gene Ross, and Alexis from KSexradio.com Saturday night.

I began my Friday morning with a 90-minute Peppy-dominated session with my therapist. I came home with a heart of flesh, unlike my typical heart of stone, and talked with John, heart to heart.

Until a few months ago, John employed as a director my former dear friend David Aaron Clark who no longer deals with him after I burned him with the Mark Kramer inspired "Porno Apocalypse" piece in the summer of 1999 (and other ways I let David down).

I've not heard from Kramer in nine months. He doesn't return my calls or emails.

I've developed and lost friendships with many porners. In the final analysis, there's nobody in porn that I will protect on my site. Everybody, including my porn friends, are fair game. And this open access policy has cost me numerous sources, from Clark and Kramer to Steve Hirsch, Bill Margold, Paul Fishbein, Russ Hampshire etc...

I don't sacrifice short-term stories for longterm access. Paul Fishbein has employed the opposite approach and that's why he drives a Jaguar and employs 50 people.

Luke: "What's going on with your company at the moment?"

John: "I don't know how to say something clever there, Luke... I work hard, I make movies and I distribute them."

Luke: "Does David Clark still shoot for you?"

John: "No... Six months in this industry is a career. I'm shooting my own stuff. I've gone back to doing what I do best."

Luke: "Are any of them any good?"

John: "Occassionally. Every once in a while I get lucky."

Luke: "What's your best stuff from the last few months?"

John: "That's not for me to say. If you really care, then go through the agony of watching the s--- and you tell me. Mu job is to make them and then it is up to the public..."

Luke: "Are you happy with the direction your business is going?"

John: "Why are you making me think? Yes, you actually sound like a journalist. You still have your column?"

Luke: "Yes."

John: "And do you actually do stuff? I thought you were just a bulletin board for Big Dick from Minnessota who wants to say what a cunt some girl in the industry is. I didn't realize you were actually a journalist as well. Does anybody read your stuff anymore?"

Luke: "Actually, the level of readership is as high as ever."

John: "It's just probably changed from people who matter to people who just want to read malicious gossip. One of these days I should write a piece on you and how you missed the greatest opportunity of your life. It is sad. I was talking to somebody two days ago about you. How only a short time ago the industry quaked... And every morning they rushed to their computers to see if you had written anything bad about them and then they'd call you and beg you to take stuff down off the site."

Luke: "The good ol' days."

John: "Yeah, you were really an important player. Now you're a bulletin board...for Big Dick who thinks that Janine's latest movie isn't any good. It's tragic. What happened?"

Luke: "I've lost enthusiasm?"

John: "You've lost everything. So if you've lost everything, why do you hang in there and not do a good job?"

Luke: "I think I do a good job, it's just that my job has shifted. It has become more humor centered. I've grown tired of abuse and lawsuits and stuff, so I don't break as many damaging exposes..."

John: "Your site is valueless. You ask me if I am happy with the direction my career has taken. I sit here for 16 years of making movies and I am essentially doing the same job. I go down to the factory like any blue collar work and I put in a day's work and the end producti is a pornographic movie which is either received well or not. But that's my job. You took on a job of a specific caliber and then you got bored? Now you just cut and paste emails."

Luke: "Yeah I got bored. And I lost more and more sources."

John: "Of course. Because you screwed everybody."

Luke: "And Gene took what I was doing..."

John: "And didn't screw people. And left you with nothing."

Luke: "It changed the dynamic."

John: "It was a good ride though, wasn't it?"

Luke: "It was a lot of fun and I want to get back on something similar. I'm not sure how... I still get good stories."

John: "Yeah, but if you have a good story, who cares? Who reads you? We don't. I have't read your column in months because it is crap. So if you do come up with a good story, your story is what? The Big Dick in Minnessota. As soon as you start posting psuedonyms of people who don't work in the industry, you're no longer a member of the industry. You're just a fan posting other fan's nonsense which is of no consequence. I got a letter the other day from a guy who bought one of my compilations and hated it. Ok. In the order of things, what does that matter? But if a reviewer saw one of my things and hated it, that would matter because that is in the industry, and I can lose sales... I don't think the reviewer has any more intelligence than the guy who hated it, he just has more power. You had a tremendous amount of power. Now you have none.

"The major companies used to live in mortal fear of what you printed... Do you remember the days when VCA, the first thing the guy would do in the morning was print out your column and put it on Russ's desk. Before he started the day, he read your column. Man, what power that was. How did you blow it? That's the thing. You've got to look at the fact that you walked in at the top of the heap and you owned what you did, and now it is all gone. I don't think you can get it back but what did you do wrong? If you intend to carry on in any aspect, you've got to figure out where you f---ed up. Where do you think you f---ed up?"

Luke: "Probably blowing too many sources."

John: "Screwing them. That's the dichotomy. If your source is important to you and then anybody else tells you something about your source, you now have a story about your source. Print the story and lose your source or don't print the story and lose the story. It's like drawing a dividing line down the middle of the industry and saying, all of these are the Lukites and they can do anything they want and I will never expose them so long as they keep feeding me with stories..."

Luke: "And in the end, there's nobody that I've put in that category. There is nobody that I would not write about."

John: "You sat there and let all of these people fight each other and they just wised up. Your sources got burned. Let's say Charley Frey calls up and says something dreadful about me and you print it, no matter whether it was true or not. That never mattered to you. I call you enraged, so you print what I have to say. Now the escalation begins. So Charley calls and I call... And eventually you've got yourself into a situation that you never should've gotten into. It is irretrievable. Everybody looks like an asshole.

"There are no honest good people in this industry who are being victimized by the evil ones. Everybody's cut from the same cloth and as soon as you open the can of worms, you have a can of worms. You only need to do that so many times, until people decide, you know what, let the other guy say anything he f---ing wants. It's pointless to defend myself because I can't negate what's been said. And I can't make things right. And I think you reached that point.

"And then you got into all that silly nonsense where you thought you were being funny and you confused a lot of people with what was truth and what wasn't. And it was pointless. It didn't achieve anything. All you did was negate good stories because half the people thought you were joking even when it was true. And then left yourself open to all kinds of lawsuits with your silly jokes when they weren't true.

"You have no idea what it costs me for the lawsuit against those clowns [Frey and Garfinkle]. Charley, it's the ego. But the lawsuit was really with Garfinkle who I think has done a brilliant O.J. Simpson here. He embezzled money from me. I caught him embezzling. And then he sued me because he couldn't embezzle anymore and won.

John Bone: "You've got to stand in awe of the American legal system and say 'wow.' Being right isn't of being any value. Do you know why I lost this lawsuit? Because I didn't show up. It was a default judgment. And because I didn't show up, all truth, all reason and all logic went out the window. I lost.

"Everybody in the world knew that OJ Simpson was guilty, but he got off. Travesties of justice happen every day but they don't really matter until they happen to you. I don't know if you are right or wrong in your lawsuits. I don't care. But the reality is that you could be 100% right, but if you don't have the money to fight it, or if you make one simple mistake... You lose.

"It's not like where we come from, the British legal system. You're guilty or you're not. If you're guilty, the chances are you'll lose. If you're innocent, the chances are that you will win. And you are surrounded by people who are dedicated to getting at the truth and doing the right thing. That doesn't mean anything here. Explain that to an American lawyer and they will look at you as though you are insane. They're not concerned with the truth or what is right or wrong. They're concerned with winning at any cost.

"And if you are up against lawyers who are better or more expensive, they will win. They get murderers off in this country because the cop displaced two words in arresting him.

"I've fallen foul of a traversty of the law. There's nothing I can do. Shrug my shoulders and get on with my life.

"You are going to end up where I started. Writing funny stuff that amuses people but has no consequence."

Luke: "I've found a new niche writing on internet porn. I have good relations with all the major players. I can get them on the phone... They are not as wild and crazy as the video guys but they have more money. I haven't burned any key contacts in the internet porn world."

John: "You still have time Luke. You have this apparent desire to f--- everybody around you so that they all hate you."

JMT: Tell Bone that the concept of the default judgment, along with much of the American legal system of which he is so critical, was adopted from the English legal system (of which he speaks so glowingly and jingoistically).

AOL Prepares To Sue Net Porners

AOL is preparing to massively sue many net porners over spam. Several big net porners have been deposed by AOL.

Joe Elkind of CENCash.com writes on Netpond: "CEN is telling AOL to go f--- themselves..just finished depos and we are playing hardball! We take on UUNET , Visa, AOL- Don't sing it bring it!"

Luke: "Hello, JoeE, it's Luke F-rd."

JoeE: "Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

Luke: "What's going on with you and AOL? I just read Netpond."

JoeE: "I can't tell you. Not right now. I just wanted to tell everyone [on Netpond]... Actually, what happened is that John [John Bennett, Joe Elkin's business partner] was pulled in for a deposition a while ago... And they're really going after spammers now. And they don't know why. They're lawyers are playing games. Then behind our back they tried to subpoena our phone records through the telephone company... I was notified by the telephone company. And I just put my foot down. They're not getting my personal or business records. We're not going to put up with it. So we just told them, no thank you. So we've been battling them for a year."

Luke: "I hear they're going after everybody."

JoeE: "Yeah... We're just the start. I don't know why. But whatever. It was UU.net first then this and that. They all take potshots but we've got our s--- together. John has very good organizational skills. I've got the marketing. Whatever they throw at us, we're going to come through. We do it within the law and we're not going to bow down to anybody. Period."

Luke: "What's going on with UU.net?"

JoeE: "That's it. I've got to go. I just missed the gym [JoeE's driving while talking to me]. Let me go get a workout..."

XXX: "AOL will start with JoeE then move over to RB (MaxCash) then Ron Levi... It will trickle down to everybody. These companies like AOL and UU.net take the biggest players first and try to set a precedent."

Around 1996, AOL gave Ron Levi's Voice Media hassle over email spam. VM responded aggressively through its attorney, outlining its anti-spam policies. VM offered to help AOL with its security because the way that email addresses can be harvested off the AOL chatrooms, promotes spamming. AOL never replied.

Luke: I did a search of newspaper databases for articles on Joe Elkind and I found this AP report from January, 2000:

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) -- A federal judge has ordered the operators of an Internet pornography site to stop using Teen magazine's name in its Web address.

The operator of the porn site, Blue Gravity Communications, and its owner, Thomas Krwawecz III, were temporarily restrained Thursday from using the magazine's name by U.S. District Judge Joseph Irenas.

Teen's lawsuit is among the first in the nation to rely on a new federal law banning ``cybersquatting,'' the practice of using company trademarks in Internet addresses in hopes of forcing the companies to buy the rights...

Krwawecz said the address was dormant until it was sold Dec. 9 to a Florida company, Cyber Entertainment Network. He said Blue Gravity is still registered as owner of the address because of delays by the organization that registers the names, Network Solutions.

Cyber Entertainment Network's chief executive, Joe Elkind, said he could not immediately determine if his company now owned the address. He said his company operates 14 adult Web sites, and about 3,000 other sites that lead to them.

Interracial Is Cool

On 8/03/100 15:44 James wrote on MrMarcus.com: > Porn stars don't ruin their lives or carreers by doing interacial. There are many porn stars; who have done interacial and have hand long successful careers. Nina Hartley; Ginger Lynn and Christy Cannons to name a couple of legends. Wicked has four new girls. Temptress (interacial); Devin Lane; Merridan; and Alexa Rae (interacial)(interacial; Stephanie Swift> Their old girls: Missyinteracial); Jenna and Serenity Do you see a pattern here. I spell it out for you moron. They always have a crop of girls that half do interacial and the other have doesn't. This is to please both sides of the spectrum. The people who like interacial and the racist idiots like you who don't. The problem the girls have is when they build their fan base with the racist morons, then do an interacial. When they start off doing interacial they have no problem. Look at VIVID to they always have three girls that have done interacial in there core group <

Clarence: I assume you mean Christy Canyon, and she never went black. Jake Steed and Billy Dee don't count. They're on;y about 1/8 black. Mix them together and you don't even have half a brother. And Nina Hartley looks like she fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. And as for the other girls you mentioned: Alexa and Temptress are never was or will be. And Missy and Stephanie Swift hardly make movies and make the low end pay for contract girls. Think about it, the only contract girls who make the big bucks and are fan favorites are the ones who don't go black. I'm black by the way, so you can throw out your theory that a racist posted this reply. The only people who are fans of people like Nina Hartley, are the crybabies on this site. And just like the sterotypical "niggah" all of you people spend your time crying about what you can't get. "It's not fair. Boo Hoo." Grow up.

Morty: Remaking any of Woody Allem's brilliant movies would be a natural for Mr. Marcus. I suggest Hannah and Her Three Bitches.

Steve: I am the biggest Stacy Valentine fan and there was one video of a 3 way that had David Steele in it, if you consider him black, he is mexican-black, all he got to do to Stacy is feel her tits, heck I did more than that to her at the VSDA convention in a photo with her, so she has never done interracial and has retired.

Did Ron Levi Invent The Internet?

Skeptics reign on the Netpond chatroom about Cybererotica.com owner Ron Levi.

Serge Birbrair: Tukh, I have FRESH news for you: Ron Levi invented adult internet!!!!!

K-Man: SERGE!! now you *KNOW* we weren't supposed to tell anyone damnit! I suppose next you will tell them how he invented the computer as Babbage and his associates were on his payroll

Nick: Serge- It's funny but I am probably one of the few people to see Luke F-rd's tactics. He will use all of his 'journalistic' power to get to somebody, by putting them on a stool above everybody else, once he gets everything out of that person, trashing begins...

SErge: K-Man, I don't know about you, but I'm getting scared, who knows, maybe I'll find one day, reading Luke F-rd, that Al Gore and Ron are brothers.... do you know who invented blow jobs?

Webfather writes on Netpond: The few points of intersection between adult and non adult exist in search engines, domain names and dating. Why Yahoo can have links to beastiality and child porn and that is acceptable to their advertisers?? Why all the domain registrars have domains in their database that I could not even post here? Why AOL is the biggest dating club the world has ever known. Instant message is more like trying to get instant f---. So how many fortune 1000 cancel their yahoo ads because of their links? or AOL? It's like building Fort Knox on the front door and conveniently forgetting to lock the back door. I just don't get it but I think it's funny as hell.

Ethical Questions About Helen Hunt

Marc Putative writes: why is this idiotic celebrity story significant? because it was assumed all along by observers that both were gay. so, did azaria betray his beloved by romping with the bunnies because he needed some action, or did a crafty publicist cook that one up, or would hunt have been fine if her hubby were cavorting with men on the island of mynokos instead?

From JAM! Movies: Despite denials, the gossip mill is insisting former "Mad About You" star Helen Hunt and her "Simpsons"-voicing husband Hank Azaria aren't so mad for each other anymore. The New York Daily News says divorce papers ending their year-long marriage will soon be filed and that Hunt has moved out of their house and into a rented Van Nuys, CA, apartment near her father's house. And yesterday, The National Enquirer reported that Hunt left Azaria -- who voices Moe the bartender, among others, on "The Simpsons" -- after she learned he had been skinny dipping with Playboy bunnies while visiting the magazine's mansion.

Chaim: boy am I out of touch - I had no idea that this woman was presumed to be gay, and had little idea who that hank guy was until you told me. (Actually, I've never seen "Mad About You", as like any show that depicts New Yorkers living happy lives in giant-sized apartments, it likely would have made me furious.) Seriously, when it is "assumed" that some closeted star is gay, just what does that mean? And, most importantly, does it qualify as lashon hora? Inviting a homo to the Playboy Mansion seems to be about as sensible as asking the Bobover rebbe to go judge a Texas pork rind festival.

Marc: assumed in gossip columnist circles, anyway. i'm fairly sure luke had their names on his site back when he was cut-and-pasting from the is he/she gay? message board. (then again, they also listed JFK Jr. ...)

question for luke: how often are you asked, "why are you not married?"
question for chaim: how often are you asked, "why are you not married?"
question for peppy: how often are you asked, "why are you not married?"

Luke: I am often asked. I answer that I have not been financially secure in my profession until the last two years... And that I have psychological issues which I deal with in therapy.

Republicans Don't Turn Out For Strippers

From Philadelphia Daily News: TWO EXOTIC DANCERS sat glumly at the bar at Club Risque, decked out in red, white and blue string bikinis. The signs outside the Columbus Boulevard club beckoned visiting Republicans. But they didn't.

Pagano said he hadn't been sure what to expect, but was disappointed by the low Republican turn-out.

Luke: I am excited by bush..he is a genuine conservative, moderate rhetoric aside...he will appoint 3 supreme court justices, he has a great team...

Marc: i could care less who the prez of the USA is (and not just because i'm in canada--back in '92 i was more enraptured by stuff like political conventions and american talk radio). but, if bush gets in, it may foreshadow the leader of the newfangled canadian alliance party ... no relation to william pierce--although their previous leader, preston manning, had those goosestepping undertones. the new guy, stockwell day, is similarly right-handed, although he's all for the idea of school choice. right now, if you're catholic, you can send your kids to catholic school for free. jews have gotta shell out $10K for theirs, while still having to pay the property taxes that go to the regular schools. ludicrous, huh? day promises to change this. so, i'm with him. guess you can look forward to peppy tossing her wine at your face tonight when you raise your hopes that bush gets the job. oh well.

Chaim: I finally noticed something that gives me reason to vote for George W.: the rack on his wife! Seriously, check her out in the photos appearing in today's New York Times. Either she was wearing ill-fitting clothes that bulged out where they ought not have, or this woman is stacked, and I mean Juggs-like. Great improvement over Hillary.

Luke: i thought you guys were genuine tax-cutting free market, tough on crime and communism, cultural and economic conservatives?

Marc: yeah, i'm all those things. but since when is hillary-lover chaim a bush man? nobody really fights about that stuff north of the border, though. most die-hard conservatives are suburban jerks. hardly anyone is that arrogant in the big city, not even the rich folk. you'd have to visit toronto, luke, to fully understand. economic conservatism doesn't really apply when you can barely even sustain a freelance writer living (unless, of course, you're being bankrolled by porners). but it all comes down to ethics ... obviously, even for jews who claim religious conviction, how they treat others should be more important than whether or not they're willing to rip toilet paper off the roll on saturdays.

Chaim: Hey, I praised the rack on Bush's wife, didn't I? Circumstances are moving me from conservatism to nihilism. PS If I end up voting for Bush, it will likely be because of his likely choices for the Supreme Court and my disquiet over the excessive influence wielded by secular jews and lesbians in the Clinton white house. I think Bush the man is something of a doofus.

Alanis Sings At MOT

Billboard.com: Alanis Morissette will give an intimate acoustic performance Aug. 17 at the Museum Of Tolerance in Los Angeles. The performance is being billed as the finale of the artist's three-week tour of Europe and the Middle East that has been documented on a special Z.com Web site.

Marc: will she sing that song about giving oral sex to the guy in the theatre? from what i recall, the lyrics were as intolerant as they come.

Chaim: Is she a MOT? [member of the Jew tribe] Ever notice that porn actresses never talk about their visits to the LA Museum of Tolerance?

Overcoming Masturbation

Luke: The following is part 2 of the public health series the 21 STEPS OF OVERCOMING MASTURBATION moderated by "Former Fondler." Step 2. "Follow a program of vigorous exercise."

Simply put, whenever you feel the desire to pump your fist; pump a little iron at the gym instead. Of course, there is always the dangerous issue of showering with the other men afterwards. Do your best to avert your eyes from their sweat glistening genitals at all times! Try to focus on all of your spiritual accomplishments instead of all the firm, rounded, soap lathered buttocks surrounding you. In extreme cases one might be wise to shower with a towel over ones head to avoid temptation. Remember to spill not your seed in an unholy manner. Keep up the fight! Your personal testimonials to the program's success are always welcome.

Luke Gets Mail

A loyal LF.com reader, Steve Karras, has hit the big time.

Houston Releases Her Labia

From Adultpressservice.com: Join XXX starlet and international gangbang queen Houston on Wednesday, August 9th, 2000 at the legendary exotic dance club Legz Diamond's Burlesque Theater (231 West 54th Street, Fourth Floor) at 10:00 AM as she "unveils" her up-for-auction labia for the first time to the public and announces the details of her much-talked about "L2K: Houston's Labia Tour 2000."

At the press conference, Houston and representatives for the world's hottest new adult auction website, EroticBid.com (www.eroticbid.com) will answer questions, provide information and present photo opportunities with the actual labia, and talk candidly about this very controversial and headline-topping e-commerce event as well as her other infamous XXX activities--past, present and future.

The morning of the press conference Houston is scheduled to appear on the nationally syndicated, top-rated radio program, The Howard Stern Show to publicize details surrounding this historic event. Carnal historians already agree that is the first time in the history of human sexuality that a woman has actually auctioned off her private parts, and what better place to announce this than alongside the man who wrote the best-selling book and starred in the box office movie hit, Private Parts. Rest assured that Houston's appearance and "L2K" will be the topic of conversation for millions!

Arguably the sex world's most popular star due to her starring roles in such record-setting videos as the Houston 500 (where she had sex with 620 men in one day), hundreds of appearances on radio and television, and hosting one of the most popular sites on the Internet (www.houstonchannel.com), Houston is considered perhaps the most well-known porn star of all times. The beautiful, busty, blonde adult film actress recently underwent a controversial labia reduction operation (medically known as a "labiaplasty," where slices of the labia itself are surgically removed) and received new breast implants at the same time.

These items--the removed labia tissue and disgarded implants--are now set to be auctioned off on the new adult auction website, EroticBid.com. Thanks to an exclusive agreement with Houston, EroticBid will also be featuring scores of other one-of-a-kind personal Houston "items," including an autographed breast implant, the outfit she wore during the making of the Houston 500 (as well as costumes from some of her other films), the high school prom dress she wore last year as seen on The Howard Stern Show and news programs, and numerous other "intimate" and autographed items.
