Sun Sets On Kevin Blatt's Role With Sundown Media
Citing "musical differences," Kevin Blatt has left Sundown Media.
Lori Michaels Update
Luke, I just finished my days work and was sitting hear reading your column. You be careful supressing those Palestinian demonstrations in the West Bank. hehe
Actually, I was reading your post on the HIV thing and wanted to put in my two cents worth. The aids tests are great, but they are only as good as the person. I originally used to get harassed for asking male actors to use condoms. I required them even when it wasn't cool. Anyway, back to my point. I remember doing a scene with two of the more prominent male actors in the business. I was sitting behind a wall listening to them talk while taking a break. They had both had their tests within the last month, but not within the last week. One was telling the other how he picked up this babe last night and screwed her brains out. The other ask if he used a rubber, and he said "Naw, thats all bulls---. I like to feel em when I f--- em" Now suppose that girl had aids and he contracted it. What the hell good does that aids test do me. With this type of lifestyle you think I'm going to let some actor cum in my mouth. "oh, don't worry, I've been tested" or "you can't get aids from oral".
Then I remember one time on a set listening through the window. Several of the male actors were standing out on the drive talking. The one that I had just done a scene with actually said to the others " thats horses--- man, you can not get aids from heterosexual sex". Now with that kind of mentality I ask you - what good is an aids test if the actor has screwed a bunch of women without a condom between the test and me?
I have meet some really nice male actors who agree with my thinking, but very few. I don't even talk about it anymore. I love cum. I'd love to do scenes where the guy comes in my mouth or all over my face, but after what I have heard it's just not worth the risk. I must say that Vivid has been very supportive of my views and I've tried to go the passion route instead of the cum route. It is ashame though that most of the reviewers still rate a movie on "how many of the girls took it in the mouth". I was on pst chat the other night and one of the regulars said that he had just reviewed one of my movies. He posted it and it was fine. Guess how it ended? Yep, it wasn't up there with the rest because Lori didn't do a facial. Where do they get these idiots who do these reviews? You think any of them have ever had sex? Anyone knows that kissing and passion is a hell of a lot sexier than standing with your dick next to a girls mouth, coming in her face while she has this revolting look, and then saying "yea, it was a great movie with so and so taking it in the face"
Damn, if there just wasn't aids. I'd show them how a facial should be done. hehe
You thought I forgot about you, didn't ya? I've just been really busy updating my site and working on some new projects.
First: I'll be in Vegas the first of November for four days signing for Vivid. Vivid is sponsoring a race car and Raylene and myself will be at the races. I'll have more details for you before I leave. If enough of my fans show up we'll have another fan party and video it for the web cam. hehe
Second: Every week I''ll be randomly picking a new vip signup and giving them a free five minute one on one phone call. Only those members who sign up during the week will be eligable for the drawing. Don't worry, I'll email you for the best time to call you. If you have a jealous wife just email me back and say "Hey Lori, better pick someone else"
Third: I've uploaded twelve new photo galleries to my vip photo gallery page. One photo set is a girl/girl with Jenna Jameson and myself. This was the last photo set that Jenna did before she had her breasts enlarged. I loved her natural and will never understand why she messed with perfection. Take a look at the photo set and you'll see what I mean. There is another photo set with me and Jenna Jameson's ex-husband, Brad Armstrong. Suze Randall photographed this set at her ranch in the hills outside of LA. It was suppose to be a simple guy/girl set but ended up being to x-rated for most of the magazines. I got a little out of control and Brad and I ended up going all the way in front of Suze and her camera. She was yelling at me to calm down and taking pics at the same time. hehe
There is also the full set of my guy/girl shoot by Clive McClain. For some reason I just can't help myself in front of a camera. Clive just let me take control and things ended up in my mouth. ( I'll let you figure that one out )
Fourth: I've started making mpegs and wav files for you to download. There is a new page in the Vip room for you to download the the movie scenes and voice files. They are in mpeg1 format since so many fans don't have dvd software to play mpeg2s. There are six new mpegs and and three new wav files that you can download. I would like your feedback on the size of files and scenes that you like.
I purchased a new Sony VX2000 digital camcorder and camera; therefore, I'll be making lots of movies and pics for you in the future. I'm using Ulead Video Studio and have a firewire card so that I can capture digital direct to the computer to transfer to mpegs. I'm also making a movie exclusively for www.lorilive.com . I will transfer it directly from digital video to mpg2 format for you to download. I hope you have a large hard drive and DVD software so that you can play them. Ohhhhhh yea, love those large hard drives! You can go to www.lorilive.com/updates.htm or www.lorilive.com/fan_club.html for more information on additions to my site and news events.
Some of you ask why I don't use real video. Honesly, I hate real video. A lousy little pic with poor quality audio. I prefer to put out a slower web cam with better quality captures. The Vip movie channel plays my movie scenes at 6 second updates, and the photo quality is much better and bigger than real video.
Fifth: I haven't been live on the web cam for some time. There is a reason for this, but I've kept quiet about it. Several weeks ago I was pushing some trees with the loader on my tractor, and a branch ( a big branch ) sliped out of the loader under tension and slammed me off of the tractor. I woke up laying on the ground with this huge head ache. The bruises have finally gone away and I'll be posting the times that I'll be on the chat starting next friday. I have to attend a funeral over the next three days, but when I get home I'll be ready to go again.

Trash Talking Porn Hating Loser
Porn star Tiffany Towers writes Luke: "You have no idea what your talking about you are a trash talking porn hating loser."
Luke: What are you referring to in particular?
Tiffany Towers responds: "ummm, well u don't know me, u write that crap about how I take guys, and I trashed a place. Where do you get your info because yore not very good at it , you're so wrong."
From Luke's Where Are They Now? section: "Tiffany Towers; House dancer at Brass Rail in Toronto, spends most of her time charming rich guys out of the contents of their wallets. Is being chased for $20,000 by a guy in Ottawa from whom she rented an apartment and trashed it."
Luke: How much is accurate?
Tiffany replies: You're asking me how much is accurate?? none, I don't scam rich guys out of thier money and nobody is looking for me for trashing anything... So it's not even close, why don't you put that I spend twice a week at an animal rehab centre volunteering or I hang out with my young brothers, or even say I work and the money these guys give me is well deserved and earned..I think you better check your staff...
Eric writes: Luke, I think you should let Tiffany Towers check your "staff" instead. Which suggests a new pick-up line for you to try on that next attractive Jewish single lady: 'Hi, I'm Luke F-rd, Jewish scholar and porn hanger-on. Would you like to see my scroll?'
Signed, You'll go blind if you check your own staff
Top Porners With First Row World Series Seats
RB (of Maxcash) writes on Topniche.com: Great seats last night...First row next to the Met dugout. Look for JoeE and I on Extra tonight being interviewed by Joe Piscopo
Luke F-rd Flees To Israel
I've heard rumors that Luke F-rd will flee to Israel to get out from under the three libel suits he faces. And what better place to be where it's happening, and to immerse oneself in the study of Holy Torah?
Actually, to tell the truth, I am updating my site today from Jerusalem. It may be a very long time until I return to the United States. I apologize for the many obligations I have broken by my move. But it is all worth it for me to lead a more fully Jewish life. Today I'm going to be very busy suppressing Palestinian demonstrations in the West Bank.
Gene Ross Surprises
I hear that Gene Ross will unleash some major surprises in early October as he starts his new job with Extreme Associates. AVN publisher Paul Fishbein will not be pleased.
Goddess writes: Geez, Luke, what kind of a gossip columnist, are you? Isn't it your job to tell us what these "major surprises" are BEFORE they happen???? Like NOW.
Luke: Gene will reveal that he's really a woman.
On GeneRoss.com, Bridgette Kerkove's hubby Skeeter writes in: "I hope ROB BLACK, TOM BYRON, LIZZY BORDEN, LUCIANO and the rest of the EXTREME crew are looking forward to the GENE ROSS - BRIDGETTE KERKOVE showdown! GENE you rule! EVERYBODY will miss you tremendously! You are a pioneer in your highly acclaimed field."
Luke wonders: What highly acclaimed field? Porn gossip?
Goddess writes: meow....he's leaving, luke....you can stop being jealous now...
MondoFamilyFilms.com
Horny Hank The Hebe writes: Luke, Terry from Mondo is finally shipping Camp Erotica. I met him last weekend and he's a pretty funny and intelligent guy. He has some strong opinions about how crappy most porn is and a rather interesting story on how he wound up co-producing it. If you need stuff for the site contact him at mondofamilyfilms@mailcity.com. No, he didn't ask me to do this. BTW he thought the whole "swap tranny" thread in June was hysterical.
Also on a Camp Erotica note. KiKi D'Aire published her email address to solicit fan advice on doing her first anal (Sorry, but my vote is secret!), so I wrote her as Aghast fully expecting her to BLAST me and she was so nice. I asked her about her appearance in American Bukkake # 11 (She said it was "fun.") and working with Ginger Lynn in her new movie (She said that Ginger was cool.). If you're interested she's at k_daire@hotmail.com

ps I only have enough Chick tracts left to make it to Halloween. :-(
HIV - Get The Facts
Luke, Farrell here from Homegrown Video, and the following letter is the kind of imflamatory stuff that Gene would not ever in a million years put on his site. I hope you will oblige me the conceit of putting this up. (or should I say putting up with this?) This is a fact.
A few years back, Jeanna Fine I had dinner with Kary Mullis, the Nobel Prize winning scientist credited with inventing the pcr test that is currently being used by our industry as a diagnostic tool for HIV. He explained in amazing detail why the test as currently used for that purpose is inclonclusive and misleading. I learned a great deal.
For example: IF YOU THINK PCR, ELISA, WESTERN BLOT ARE GOOD MEASURE OF HIV INFECTION, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FACTS IF YOU THINK HIV IS A DEATH SENTENCE, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FACTS IF YOU THINK INDUSTRY WIDE TESTING IS ANY SORT OF PROTECTION THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FACTS WHEN YOU WANT TO GO BEYOND HYPOTHESIS AND GET FACTS THEN YOU WILL PLEASE VISIT REAPPRAISINGAIDS.ORG
From my point of view, with all the years of industry testing, the only thing I see is that everyone has defined a very unique control group of individuals that would raise a lot of questions about HIV. Also, most of our industry's cases turned out to be false positives. And I should also point out, that false positives are very normal in persons using certain drugs, including cocaine, meth (including x which is methamphetamine based), and inhalants like amyl. I know for a fact that some of the unnamed but currently positive former performers have admitted to the frequent use of these substances. Now I ask any of our industry experts to tell me the facts about HIV, I mean, beyond the price they are asking for testing.

Slate.com says: A big NYT front-pager details how respectable corporations are now reaping a big piece of the $10-billion-a-year pornography business through their cable and online properties. The paper stuns with its observations that General Motors, via its DirecTV subsidiary, now sells more graphic sex films every year than Larry Flynt and that EchoStar Communications, the No. 2 satellite provider whose chief financial backers include Rupert Murdoch, now makes more money from graphic adult films than Playboy. And there's AT&T, which owns a company that sells sex videos to nearly a million hotel rooms. And the leading supplier of hotel pornos is controlled by John C. Malone, the cable and telecommunications magnate.
From today's New York Times:
For all the money being made on sex — legally — by mainstream corporations, the topic remains taboo outside the boardroom. The major satellite and cable companies do very little marketing of their X-rated products, and they are not mentioned in annual reports except in the vaguest of euphemisms.
None of the corporate leaders of AT&T, Time Warner, General Motors, EchoStar, Liberty Media, Marriott International, Hilton, On Command, LodgeNet Entertainment or the News Corporation — all companies that have a big financial stake in adult films and that are held by millions of shareholders — were willing to speak publicly about the sex side of their businesses.
"How can we?" said an official at AT&T. "It's the crazy aunt in the attic. Everyone knows she's there, but you can't say anything about it."
Luke Gets Mail
Hank writes: Meredith Kott (Nico Treasures) and her lesbian pal--who, of course, sparked a First Amendment frenzy at the old ballgame--aren't exactly getting along nowadays.
Rob writes: Luke, What's up with Teri Weigel? Any new product coming out with her that you now of. I heard she is going to take time off to have a baby. Is that true. Her site rarely ever updates.
Rumdar writes: "While waiting for some of the others to join us in the lobby, a hotel security guard who was so short and must have been over 100 years old decided to accuse the girls of being hookers. John made him apologize to all of us, repeatedly."
Luke...I love it. John makes the geriatric security guard apologize repeatedly to the girls. What is wrong with the old cocker, he is getting senile? The poor geezer can't tell the difference between hookers and porno trollops? I believe it is discrimination at its worst. Despicable!

Al Gore & The Internet
Ian writes: "Curious said: I have become the first member of l-keford.com to vote for Al Gore for President of the United States! He's environmentally conscious. He's pro-choice. He's Jew friendly. And, need I remind you, he invented the internet!"
I've heard it said, over and over again, that Al Gore claimed to have 'invented the internet', and always thought it was an absurd claim for such an intelligent man to have made. However, yesterday I saw (on a British television programme about negative campaigning in the US presidential election) the incident to which I assume people have been referring. In it, Gore does not claim to have invented the internet, but to have promoted it. Since I understand that the internet originated in an arrangement to link the computers of a number of US universities and public organizations, there may well have been individual congressmen and senators who played a leading role in promoting the scheme. Gore might well have been one of them. I doubt whether any of those criticising Gore for his words know that he wasn't or they'd have told us instead of making the cheap, possibly misleading, gibe about inventing the internet.
