Latest AVN Gossip At GeneRoss.com
I can't pull up AVNGossip.com nor InsideAdult.com (both AVN sites) but I can pull up AVN's latest gossip at GeneRoss.com where I found this written by the site's current author Tod Hunter:
Paul has asked that I pass along this statement, and considering the coverage on other sites of the history of AVN and Erotica L.A., I think it's newsworthy enough to pass along.
"Any differences between AVN and Ron Miller were settled over a year ago." - Paul Fishbein.
So whatever happened before that - to which, honestly, I was not a witness - seems to have been superseded by this new harmony to which both Paul and Ron have alluded.
Luke says: It sounds to me like an admittance that a year ago, as previously reported here and on GeneRossExtreme,com, Darren Roberts and Bryn Pryor were looking for a hatchet job on Ron Miller. And it also sounds like Fishbein is selling Pryor and Roberts down the drain.
You get a nice read of Tod Hunter's personality reading his site, at www.GeneRoss.com. Tod's a master diplomat.
Tod writes on GeneRoss.com: We're not perfect. We miss stuff. But that's not our problem:
It's yours, just like it's your career, or it's your video company. We're in this together. Do your part.
Tod Hunter extension 109... Some things have changed (my extension is now 114 - call 109 and you'll get Ken Michaels at AVN Online; we are now down the street from Wicked Pictures, so Steve and Joy personally bringing in the tapes isn't that extravagant a gesture now; and Gene doesn't have as much clout around here as he used to) but the fundamental message stands:
It is not our job to keep track of your career. Screw false modesty. Bang that drum.
If you don't tell us, we don't know. Simple as that.
Note to Paul: Let's consider Rebecca Bardoux for the Hall of Fame next year.
Luke says: I am not a diplomat like Hunter. But certainly one reading of his site today implies that AVN understands its system is flawed. Hunter's acknowledging that porners are getting the short shrift. Too many videos and too little time.
The evidence that Gene Ross and I have presented over the past week suggests that much of AVN (though certainly not everyone who toils there) is morally bankrupt.
If Paul Fishbein didn't always say that his magazine and awards show had integrity, this would be no big deal. But as we've shown, awards and reviews and editorial coverage at AVN consistently get slanted to favor AVN's friends and advertisers.
To say we make mistakes and that is not our problem but yours is a dereliction of AVN's responsibility to the industry it purports to cover and represent.
For AVN to say that we can't keep track of everything, you have to beat your own drum, that is an admittance that it is not up to the task of journalistically covering the adult industry.
But we've known this all along.
Jeff Stephens writes Gene Ross: "gene you big giant dick. your site has rocked almost since inception. as a client living down here in the hills of arkansas, i have become aware of the following: the more links the better . the more photos the better. the less references to that homo Luke F-rd the better. keep up the good work."
Gene Ross writes: "Sources tell me that the betrayal remark is the popular comment being uttered at AVN these days. And I guess it's true because I certainly didn't bend over and take one for the team."
I've found GeneRossExtreme.com mesmerizing the past two weeks and Friday afternoon's update is no exception. Here are some excerpts:
Ken Wood worked at AVN for 18 months until forced out in a Byrn Pryor - Rebecca Gray "Arizona Mafia" coup. Wood served as AVN's managing editor for four months.
Friday, Gene Ross prints this quote from Wood: " My fondest memory of Darren Robert$ was my last day at AVN. He brought me into his office. He basically showed me some information that he thought I was making threats to the editorial staff or AVN. He said, kind of laughing, trying to play it off as a joke, 'I don't know whether to call the police or something.' I just stared him down and said, 'Darren, let me tell you something. Half my family are lawyers so threats to me involving legal action or law enforcement don't go over very well. And, by the way, if I was face to face with the police, maybe I'd have to tell them about some of the other things going on around here at AVN that I have evidence about including a 'confession' by AVN's comptroller Roland Roth.' I confronted Roland about certain things."
Luke says: What Ken Wood is beating around the bush about is controversy over AVN's handling of its company 401K plan which is operated by the brother of Paul Fishbein's wife Kimberly Wilson, the head of cable sales at VCA. Many AVNers and ex-AVNers believe that AVN's handling of the 401Ks has not been fully kosher.
I emailed the normally loquacious Ken Michaels for comment on this story. Was he aware of any financial improprieties and legalities going on at AVN?
Ken has been heard voicing complaints about Roth's handling of the 401K but so far Mr. Michaels has chosen to not comment.
I emailed AVN publisher Paul Fishbein: Was he aware of any illegal activity at AVN?
Clemenza writes Luke: You dumbass, always getting your facts wrong. Roland Roth is not Kimberly's brother. Roth is the controller at AVN. Kimberly's brother operates AVN's 401 Pension plan.
Gene Ross - Bad For Jews (Like Fishbein, Hirsch)?
Luke says: Gentle readers, please help me put an end to hate speech on the internet by seeking out the anti-Semitic reference in the following from gentile Gene Ross:
"Fishbein revealing grandiose plans about a possible AVN move to California, saying that now, thanks to my efforts, AVN was in a position to get near where the action was. Fishbein, however, stipulated that the move was contingent upon my saying yay or nay. "If you say no we won't do it," said Fishbein who then proceeded to apply the typical Fishbein verbal thumb screws to see that I would. Torquemada and ten Jewish lawyers could have taken pointers from this guy who brags about being a student of Machiavellian tactics. Several points were ultimately agreed upon and I have to say that Fishbein followed through and kept his word on those. HOWEVER, Fishbein, sensing that something was needed to sweeten the pot also said, "I'll have Steve Levin [his Philadelphia lawyer] draw up papers." In essence, to give me a percentage of AVN. I had certainly earned it because I pulled his company out of the brink of bankruptcy when he was ready to lose his ass in 1987, having overextended himself in an ill-advised newsstand experiment under the then tenure of managing editor John Paone. When I took over for Paone, I spent the next four years diligently keeping maintenance costs to a near minimum and had absorbed most of the writing load to defray other freelance costs, yadda, yadda, yadda. Once we had moved to California and settled down somewhat, I brought up our Upper Darby conversation to Fishbein. He had a convenient lapse of memory on the Steve Levin point." (Gene Ross)
Luke says to Gene: Perhaps you were not given a percentage of AVN because you're a goy?
Steve Hirsch, Nikki Tyler, JB and the Rape Charge
Clemenza, who debuted on l-keford.com in December of 1998, has resurfaced after a two year absence from the internet.
Clemenza writes Gene Ross: "You wrote about Steve Hirsch and Nikki Tyler the other day? But were you aware that Hirsch was sleeping with Tyler and because J.B. had a one-nighter with her, Hirsch decided to make things real rough for him over at Metro where he was employed at the time and where Tyler was the contract girl. Something about a charge of "rape". Even [Vivid lawyer] Paul Cambria got into the act."
J.B. tells Gene Ross: "I can't really comment on this. I take it real seriously when someone tries to hang a rap on me that's $50,000 bail and a good five to ten years in jail. All I can say is the entire business is full of f---ing liars."
Luke's Steve Hirsch Nightmare
I had my first dream in weeks (at least that I recall) last night. I dreamed that I was walking around the backyard of Vivid owner Steve Hirsch's home. And he found me on his property and he started yelling at me and chasing me and threatening me harm. Then I woke up.
What does this mean?
I totally deny experiencing a seminal emission during the unfolding of my Steve Hirsch dream.
Thursday afternoon I saw my homeopathic doctor (Homeopathy-md.com). The past 10 weeks have not been good for me. I've been sick and feeling down much of the time (until I got these great Paul Fishbein bashing stories which have cheered me up to no end).
My doc explains that there are two sides to my personality. There's the religious moral side and there's the mischevious pornographic side. And these two sides are constantly fighting each other and making me sick.
I first saw my homeopath in June of 1999. The remedy immediately picked me up, as it does many. This gave me more energy and my two sides more vigor to fight with each other, which made me sick again. Now, in the second year of healing, the remedy (in my case it is vipera, snake's venom) is working to harmonize my conflicting sides.
Thus, when one side starts to take over, the remedy works to balance me. Thus, three months ago, when I was readying to move to Israel, the remedy kicked in and made me sick so that I would stay balanced and not devote myself solely to study of Torah.
So, yesterday, my therapist gave me some more snake's venom and I'm feeling great today. Didn't you notice a chirpy tone to my column?
Thursday was a very therapeutic day for me. I also went to therapy and for about 40 minutes I talked about AVN publisher Paul Fishbein and how much fun it was to cause him misery.
What introduced him into the conversation (he's a freely subject of mine) was the matter of shame.
And what brought shame into the therapy was a date. I'd told the woman how much I loved my new Orthodox synagogue and hwo sure I was that they were going to throw me out as soon as they discovered l-keford.com. She replied that I should either drop my website and other behaviors which cause me shame or drop the company of those who make me feel ashamed.
I told my woman that I was not ashamed of l-keford.com, it was just that I have such a fragile sense of myself, that whenever I am in an environment or group of people, I assimilate their values into myself quickly. So if I am around people who I realize would find l-keford.com repulsive, I too find my own website repulsive.
So I discussed this Thursday in my therapy. And then I came out with the line, "Shame is something familiar to me."
Then I had to get up and go pee.
When I came back, I continued on. I talked about how I was often shamed and humiliated as a toddler and child, and have always felt shame. And perhaps, suggested my therapist, I gravitate towards behavior that make me feel ashamed.
Then I discussed how much I enjoyed humiliating and shaming others. Then I talked about getting Paul Fishbein and how much fun it was to torture him.
I told my therapist how much I loved Paul. How whenever I look into his eyes, I believe everything he tells me. But now I feel suckered. I realize that Fishbein lied to me on many occasions.
At least however through this tribulation I've been able to reunite with former rivals to do the will of the Lord. We're free now to gang up on dad, said my therapist, and dad can't kill us. We're safe to torture him. After we kill dad, we'll be able to sleep with mommy.
If Paul Fishbein is dad, who's the mommy in this story?
This is bitter sweet, noted my therapist. Yes, daddy has rejected you many times by refusing to hire you. But it must feel like daddy is not God anymore. It's awesome awareness that the father isn't perfect. And it hurts you. You so hoped that there was one righteous man in pornography that you could look up to and respect. Here was a fine upstanding businessman who did not f--- the girls. And you feel that Paul has betrayed your faith.
Luke's First Autographed Picture Request
I got my first request the other day for an autographed picture, and no it was not from Gene Ross. So I found a postcard size picture that I had printed up 1000 at a time when I was a struggling actor, wrote as requested "To Jill [my mom's name] with hugs and kisses" and sent it off.
Jill replies: "thank you very much for sending the pic,and for taking time to acknowlage your fans.that was very sweet of you.i really do thank you dearly.i just hoped it would have been a pic i could frame and not folded in half. im just as pleased all the same.again i dearly thank you."
Luke replies: "I will do better next time."
Jill replies: "thats fine i want my husband to were it on hed when he f---s me again thank you."

Brian Shuster and the XPics Ripoff
Until the fall of 1997, Xpics was a fairly low-key operation. Then Xpics started paying webmasters 18 cents for every person who clicked on an ad. By early 1998, business was booming. Shuster and Carmona set their annual pay at $1.25 million apiece on the basis of projections showing that Xpics would reach $100 million in annual sales. But Xpics couldn't do it alone.
The company needed a bank to process its credit-card transactions, and finding a bank willing to take on transactions for an Internet-porn company wasn't easy. Banks assume risk when they process credit cards, especially when consumers dispute charges and demand refunds. If a merchant doesn't make good on refund demands, the bank that processed the transaction is on the hook. And refunds -- or chargebacks -- for transactions conducted over the Internet are virtually automatic if a cardholder disputes a charge, because no one physically swipes a credit card or signs a receipt. In essence, a cardholder need only say "I didn't do it" to get a refund.
The FTC says Xpics immediately billed customers who provided card numbers thinking they wouldn't be charged if they canceled the service within 30 days. The FTC -- which sued Xpics in January 1999 for alleged violations of federal laws barring unfair and deceptive business practices -- also says Carmona and Shuster charged consumers who never visited the company's Web sites and made it impossible for cardholders to cancel trial memberships. In some cases, Xpics upgraded cardholders to more expensive memberships when they tried canceling by e-mail, according to the FTC. Cardholders who tried telephoning Xpics couldn't get through. It's not clear how Xpics got card numbers from cardholders who didn't visit the company's sites. Xpics settled the lawsuit in July without admitting any wrongdoing. Read On

Vivid PR
Why is it that the only news I hear about Vivid these days comes from the personal PR Brian Gross provides for such Vivid girls as Jenteal and Devon?
I've heard nothing from Jackie Markham at Vivid's new PR agency in New York. The agency also reps O.J. Simpson and Paula Jones.
I bet Brian's furious with Vivid after the raw deal they gave him. Though Brian remains good friends with David Schlesinger, who runs the Vivid internet.
Vivid owner Steve Hirsch is in the custom of calling up his buddy Paul Fishbein at AVN and screaming at him when Vivid movies don't get good reviews and AVN doesn't publish enough Vivid puff pieces. Fishbein then yells at his editorial staff.
People wonder why people hate Steve Hirsch. One answer is that he's very successful. Another answer is that he's a brutally tough businessman. Another is his attitude towards employees - "It's a privilege to work for Vivid." Another is his attitude towards other people. Though a smart guy, Steve appears to have little sense of humor.
Steve was once hanging out at a baseball game with Paul Fishbein, Christian Mann and a few regular porners. Noticing that one of the employees was silent, Steve allegedly said to him, "You're unusually quiet. Is it because you feel you're not good enough to hang out with us?"
Porn journalists don't like Vivid because they stonewall investigations of the company.
Aaliya Li - Fast Burn Out?
Headlover writes on RAME: It seems just a few months ago I saw Aaliya in what was apparently her first work in a Joey Silveria flick and a Randy West production. Although rather big boned for my taste, whe looked totally fabulous, silky smooth skin, great happy attitude, and large breasts that possibly were real. Pretty sexy, and I expected her to get better as she learned how to work with a camera on.
Recently I saw here in an all BJ flick where her skin was a bumpy mess, she looked worn out, and while happy not with the bounce and joy seen before. Did she catch something, did porn wreck her, and thoughts?
AVN Mob Talk Too Literal
Ian writes: Hi Luke, There were many references in your recent offering to the possible involvement of the Mafia in AVN. You've also had, in the past, many references to the "Arizona Mafia" running AVN, members of which you've named, who appear to be ordinary members of the publication staff. Of course, I've no idea whether or not the mob is involved with AVN, though it would be surprising, considering the size of the overall porn business, and the kind of business it is, if the mob didn't have fingers in many porn pies. However, might not this reference to the "Arizona Mafia" just be a half-joking way of referring to a powerful group in the AVN company, hailing from the same state, and suggesting that they are more loyal to one another than to the business as a whole. In Britain, when William Hague, Leader of the Conservative Party (currently the Opposition party in Parliament) married Ffion Jenkins, a profile of her described her as a member of the "Taffia Mafia", indicating that she was one of an influential group of Welsh nationals, and certainly not she had links with the mob. On similar lines, the people at the top of English Women's Institute have been called the "Raffia Mafia". Might all this talk of mob influence in AVN simply be the result of a too-literal translation of the phrase "Arizona Mafia?"
Just A Suggestion

Leechnet - The Porn Napster
Well, it had to happen. Following on from Napster's infamy and enormous popularity, welcome to the porn equivalent: Leechnet.
The software works in exactly the same way as Napster but with slightly different search criteria. Rather than artist or title, you have finer search criteria: Type, Action, Location, Participants. These cover a wide range of options - as you would expect. Amateur, Fat, Pregnant, Shemale; Anal, Creampie, Watersports,; Bathroom, Livingroom, Shower; Solo, Threesome, Group Sex are just some. Then hit search and away you go.
Now, if you are someone who thinks that all pornography is immoral you won't agree, but following brief usage of Leechnet, we found plenty of "artistic", erotic and quite frankly hilarious pictures of the human body. Of course, there's plenty of smut too. Click here: The Register
Facts Luke Can Use
Chaim writes: You may publish this under your name, if you wish. From encylopedia Britannica: pornography - the representation of erotic behaviour in books, pictures, statues, motion pictures, etc., that is intended to cause sexual excitement. The word pornography, derived from the Greek porni ("prostitute") and graphein ("to write"), was originally defined as any work of art or literature depicting the life of prostitutes.
So you see? You prostitute yourself with your pen.
Death Of Mondo Family Films Highly Exaggerated
Rev. Cutrell Johnson writes: Dear Luke:
I read a posting on your web site that Mondo Family Films is lying on its deathbed. This is a fraudulent lie!
The posting further went on to state that "Camp Erotica" is a "dismal, boring failure". This too is the lie of a desperate, jealous, soul- a desperate cry for help.
I am the spiritual adviser to Col. Rob. I was at the premiere of "Camp Erotica"; the audience laughed, they cried, they applauded, a few threw-up (but this was probably due to the free flowing drink). Col. Rob supplied pizza and beer; and Pie Dog was busy handing out his psyche drugs. A writer for Hustler was present at the premiere and "Hustler's Video Guide" gave the film a seven page spread. If that's dismal failure I've never seen success!
There is some truth to the rumor that Mondo Chris and Col. Rob had a bit of a falling out. I am providing marriage counseling to them now. I have cleared all information I am about to disclose with both of the aforementioned individuals. I provide faith healing services as well as counseling and spiritual advice (being trained in both theology and psychology).
Col. Rob has had a history of PED (penile erectile dysfunction). I have often with a lying on of hands given Rob temporary help unfortunately long term healing has eluded me. This problem as well as being exposed to multiple viewing of "Camp Erotica" took its toll on the poor couple. Chris resorted to lesbian tryst with various Mondo starlets; Rob, jealous, and unable to get an erection responded in kind. Rob had a number of homosexual affairs.
There have been rumors of theft, these I can tell you are not true. And in regards to Terry having a falling out with the "Family", it has been rumored that Terry was one of Col. Rob's lovers (this I cannot verify). Families have there falling outs but this is the holiday season a time of forgiveness. Rob and Chris are in love and will not let their child (Mondo Family Films) die.
Yes Col. Rob and Mondo Chris are on hiatus but look forward to more quality product from the Mondo Family in the near future. May you and your family show the forgiveness and perseverance that the Mondo Family shows its own this holiday season.

An Open Letter To The Democrats
Dennis Prager writes "An Open Letter To The Democrats" in the November 30, 2000 Wall Street Journal:
You finally made a big mistake.
You probably never thought you would live to see middle America and mainstream Republicans galvanized to resist your ongoing takeover of America. But like other power-hungry groups in history, you didn't know when to hold back. Your party and its standard bearer, Al Gore, have attempted to thwart an election not in the quiet of the night (as in 1960) but in daylight, before the cameras of the world. And finally we have begun to resist.
Most of us have never attended a political demonstration. Most of us are not particularly political, preferring work, family, sports, and communal associations to political activism. But now we are angry. By golly, even Bob Dole is angry. Republicans are actually organizing demonstrations. Such activism is so rare that "conservative activist" is an oxymoron. But for the time being you have changed that. Call it the Chad Revolt. Read on here.
Gary writes Luke: I want to express my thanks to you for providing a most informative website and to Dennis Prager for his forthright, conviction based, fearless sharing of his views both on radio and in his writings.
I know that I am only one of many, many people who appreciate Dennis for his candor, intelligence and God given ability to communicate to the public what many of us feel deeply in our hearts but who are either unable to communicate as effectively as Dennis and/or do not have the platform to do so.
The open letter to the Democrats that Dennis read last evening moved me deeply. Deep reflections in my own heart conjured up many of the same thoughts, but Dennis was able to so eloquently define what was in my own heart and soul that I found myself rejoicing to realize my frustrations, convictions and concerns were finally verbalized, and also sad to realize that the conditions in our nation are in fact, in such a state as we currently find ourselves. I, like Dennis and many other conservatives am stirred to take up the torch and actively move forward by the grace of God toward restoration of the values and principles upon which our forefathers intended this nation to be firmly founded. No longer will I be willing to sit idly by while the liberals of our society blatantly hack away at and promote the erosion of the values, principles and morals of this nation. If that makes me an activist, then so be it. It is past time for conservatives to make their voice and conscience clear.
Luke says: Click here to vote on the Palm Beach Ballot. And here for The Unseemly Stealing Of Innocence.
Galifrey@aol.com writes: Luke- Never confuse eloquence with being right. Yes, Prager is eloquent. But his articulate prose has about as much to do with reality as Bob Dole's "Cigarette's aren't addictive" speil. Bottom line: Gore got more votes across the nation. Dubya "won" Florida by about 1/10th of 1 percent. Methinks asking for recounts is hardly the "stealing of an election". To say otherwise is to show broad partisan bias. If the roles had been reversed, I would hardly question Bush for asking for a recount, as he no doubt would have. What amazes me, and what Prager did actually capture, is how absolutely enraged most Republicans are. They feel it's "their turn" to be in the White House and no amount of actual vote counting should get in the way of that. Florida's legislature attempts to overrule the courts and potential vote count and appoint their own electors is perhaps the most shocking attempt at Coup D'etat I've ever seen in America. The accusations by Republicans that Democrats are "intentionally changing" ballots is as shocking an accusation as I've ever seen made by a major political party. Republicans are angry to a degree that has them beyond all logic and objectivity. Frankly, it's frightening. As a former Republican who stopped voting for Repubs in 1992 after Republican anti-Semitism came out during the 92 campaign ("those big city 'elite' are corrupting our good Christian values", was one nice quote), I find the past three years to be absolutely without parallel in history. Since impeachment, the Republicans have become more and more blinded by rage, less and less guided by conservative idealism, as during the Reagan years. Very sad to see a once noble party beset by angry group-think and hysterical prose. Perhaps they need an enemy now that the Soviets and the Japanese, the Iraqis and the Libyans are no longer there to demonize. So they turn on their fellow Americans, I don't know. I wish I knew why such rage would lead to such irrational actions and statements as exhibited by otherwise logical Republicans. But then again, they felt a lie in a civil trial was worthy of impeachment. Yet Reagan answered 95% of Iran-Contra questions under oath with an, "I don't know, I can't remember." response, and there was nary a peep about lying under oath there in a Federal trial with potential treason overtones. Hypocracy exists in this election on both sides, but never have I seen so many Republicans so lost in their own anger as to defy all logic. It's sad.
