Don Barzini Asks Questions

Don Barzini writes: Luke, I've just returned from a business trip to Palermo. Some observations on recent porn gossip postings:

Rob Black calls my paisan, Kenny G, the biggest deadbeat in the business. He posts an 'aging' report detailing Metro invoices. I look at this report and think, "Those orders seem so small!" I know a half dozen companies much smaller than Extreme shipping two and three times those number of pieces to Metro. All that boasting of Extreme's numbers, looks like much said about nothing. I also noticed he did a little sucking on David S and Frankie K's cocks. I'd like to see the aging reports on those two. If Rob Black truly has balls, he would send some of those black roses to Kenny G, perhaps hand-deliver them to one of Kenny's crew at the show. We'll see.

Now this thing with pulling all of Extreme's advertising dollars from AVN. This month's AVN seems to have no Extreme ads. That means the ads were pulled at least 4-6 weeks ago. Who pulled them? Black? I doubt it, I think he would have been crowing about that a month ago. Maybe Fishbein refused the ads? Who knows. And will Extreme be taking tables at the AVN awards show they've spent so much time bashing? Especially since they now say they will refuse any awards they might be given? It seems they are still paying the evil AVN empire for their booth, what else will they be two-faced about? Perhaps they should have scheduled their party the same night as the awards? The turnout would be more meaningful, one way, or another.

On the subject of the awards, does Black's declaration of war mean he is pulling all his nominations before the awards? Or will he just refuse any that they try to give? If Fishbein has any Barzini in him, he will toss out the Extreme nominations now, and revote any categories that Extreme may have won, if any.

Speaking of AVN, how was it that Extreme received advance notice of the 4-star, "Spotlight Pick" for "Days of Whore?" I thought AVN's feet were in concrete regarding spilling information about reviews prior to their publication. Apparently this is not so, given all the raving and ranting by Extreme that went on over it, way before the publication of the January 2001 issue of AVN. Maybe we should re-think whose in bed with who here.

Well, that is all for now. It is time for my evening espresso and anisette.

AVN's Ashley Kennedy

AVN's Ashley Kennedy writes: I am a die-hard pro-legalization [of drugs] activist, and have been for years (I write for High Times to this day)...

In fact, my interest in this industry, rather than being prurient in nature, or fueled by some strange mafia connection, is directly related to my love of the First Amendment and abhorrence of Government involvement in the personal lives of adults (that are causing no harm to others, naturally). Personally, I don't get off on consenting adults stuffing Bible pages up their arses, but I'll defend tooth and nail their right to do so. It is, indeed, a statement that perhaps reflects their feelings toward organized religion, you see, and in this country they have a right to make that kind of statement.

Angela Summers, Mike South Talk From Las Vegas

Angela Summers, Mike South phone in with an update from Las Vegas. Listen here.

Angela's five months pregnant.

Mike met with Logan, the 22-year old stripper chick, yesterday and made her an offer.

Mike says: "I think she may have fallen in with some bad company. She was supposed to come to the show with me today and she blew me off. I gave her an offer and gave her good direction. I hope she comes out ok.

"She's really cute. Her pictures are nice but they don't do her justice. She's a nice kid.

"The IA2000 internet show is huge, very busy. It's twice the size of last year's."

Logan Looks To Enter Industry

A Las Vegas 22-year brunette stripper wants to enter the industry. Logan (skylar2000@earthlink.net) writes me: I dance at the Crazy Horse Too in Las Vegas. My goal is to act in adult films! I am very open minded and willing to do what it takes to get known! I'm submitting a few pics to you! I'm 22 yrs old and do take care of myself physically and mentally!

Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4 Pic 5

Luke recommends Jim South, of WorldModeling.com. He's the biggest and most influential agent.

QuasarmanRants.com writes Luke: Of all the pornographers that you know I think you'd agree that I'm at least in the top 5 of "most moral" therefore, one of the safest people you could recommend this Logan girl getting in touch with is me. It will ease your conscience and give me a hot looking broad for my first show of 2001. It's a win/win situation.

JRob writes Luke: Um . . . . is Logan (skylar2000@earthlink.net) aware that your stated position is that NO ONE should enter the adult film industry? That's like writing Louis Farrakahn to ask how to join the Jewish Defense League.

Helpful writes: If Logan, the Vegas Stripper, really wants to make a name for herself in porn all she needs is a little determination and 104 chop sticks. Good luck.

Wednesday afternoon Luke interviewed Logan by phone. Listen here.

Logan: "I've been dancing for two years now. I started in Florida, then Chicago with Crazy Horse Too. Then I came to Las Vegas. And I've been wanting to get into the adult industry and acting. I'm a very open minded person and very affectionate."

Luke: "How do you enjoy being a dancer?"

Logan: "I enjoy the feeling of turning guys on and getting them hot."

Luke: "Doesn't it make you despise them that they are so easily manipulated?"

Logan: "No. I like to be in control. And I like to get off myself too."

Luke: "How did you like getting breast implants?"

Logan: "It went well. They look good and feel good. There have been no complications."

Luke: "What attracts you to doing adult films?"

Logan: "Since I began dancing, it's become more of an interest to me. I would like to act... I'm a very sexual person. With my looks and my body and everything, it helps very much. And I want to be famous."

Luke: "Well, this is a way that you will certainly come to a lot of people's attention.

"Yes, please stay in touch with me as your career progresses... I feel a personal stake in your success, even though I dislike the industry."

Logan replies: "Thanks for this forward as well. I'm assuming, it's for me? You bet I will keep ya updated. Anytime you need clothes on shots, or interviews, I'm game! I know you're not a big fan of the industry, but I appreciate you're help anyhow! Who knows. maybe I can make it better? Talk soon, hopefully..."

Luke confesses: I've been spending altogether too much time thinking about Logan's fresh full breasts and pretty face. When I should be concentrating on securing for myself a woman of honor, a nice Jewish girl with whom I can have kids and make a Judaic home.

Is there anything more tantalizing than helping a beautiful young woman? I feel like Steve Hirsch and Paul Fishbein, and all I've done is what's above. I've helped another young beauty enter the hell of the porn industry. And running through my head the whole time have been lustful thoughts. Explicit desires about where Logan should plant that pert mouth.

Dear boys and girls, see what I mean about porn corrupting? Before seeing Logan naked, I was a virtuous man intent on exposing the iniquity of pornography. Now I'm in its thrall. I want to do a Paul Fishbein.

I listened to this interesting lecture on what a religious Jew can and can not do in the corporate world. Can a religous Jew provide the name and phone number of World Modeling to a non-Jewish woman who wants to enter porno? Listen and find out.

Arena Covers Porn

Noah writes: Luke, There are two articles in this month's issue of 'Arena.' covering porn. The cover story is a pictoral history and small synopsis of Savannah. Model Ana Claudia portrays Savannah. Something to note is that Ana is only 19 and she's in many racy photos. It's suprising she did this because she's one of the top models in the world. Then there is an article about the relationship of Brad and Houston from the 'Howard Stern Show.' It's pretty interesting 4 page article.

Houston Breaks Hearts

Excited, Jewish, Single Parent, Premature Ejaculator Guy writes QuasarmanRants.com.... Hey Quasar, Congratulations to Houston and her lucky fiance, but please tell me this minor civil union will not jeopardize my ability to repeatedly sodomize the lovely Houston at Metro's Circus of Anal Gang Bang! I have spent the last two months carefully preparing for my XXX porn debut. I have been working daily with a hypnotherapist to control my premature ejaculatory problem. My ex-wife has successfully had my parental rights terminated via the family courts system so I no longer have those pesky child care issues to deal with. I have recently paid off the layaway for my professional gang bang attire (thigh high leather boots and Fritz the Cat TM silver g-string). And I have finally mapped out a three day route via public transportation to deliver me from Barstow to Hollywood. All the planets were lining up for my gang bang participation and now this happens! Please confirm immediately. Will I be able to torque Houston's tail pipe?

ExtremeAssociates.com

Jeanneluc writes on the ExtremeAssociates.com message board: We've all been bitching now for weeks about how horses--- this site is. But this tops it all. The article/interview about the new movie "The Abyss" made me want to buy it. It also said in the article that it would be available in the new release section for sale. That was a few days ago and still, when I looked today, it was still not listed on the site for sale. So I went down to my local sex vid store and there "The Abyss" was. I bought it. Paid about the same as I would off the Extreme site. My point is this idiots can't even offer there own movies for sale before they're available on the street. I'm cancelling my membership today. I'm tired of all the promises. Extreme, Rob Black and Tom Byron suck!!!

Ichibod writes: Extreme will be out of business in a year.........IF THEY KEEP THESE BUSINESS PRACTICES UP. ROB BLACK WHINES LIKE A BITCH ABOUT BEING LIED TO BY AVN. BUT HE LIES TO US PAYING CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE WEB SITE. ROB BLACK WHINES LIKE A WHORE ABOUT NOT BEING PAID BY METRO. MAKES ME WONDER IF THERES ANOTHER SIDE TO THE STORY. MAYBE HE LIED TO THEM ABOUT THE PRODUCT BECAUSE WE SURE CAN'T BELIEVE HIM OR TOM BYRON ABOUT ANY UPDATES. THE WEB SITE IS SO INCOMPTANT AND THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT LIE OFF THIER BITCH WHORE ASSES. AND STILL NO EXPLANATION WHY.

Tim Connelly Bangs The Drums Quickly Through Clouds Of Marijuana Smoke

Banging gamely through clouds of marijuana smoke, Adam Film World editor Tim Connelly aka Jeremy Stone played the drums quickly Saturday night at The Mint to prepare the Western Hemisphere for a new secular year.

Porners in attendance included Adella O'Neal from Digital Playground, David Crawford from Wicked DVDs and his porn star girlfriend T.J. Hart, a couple from Danni.com, publicist Brian Gross, Devon and her husband Barrett, director David Aaron Clark, and Brian Surewood.

Lynne writes: Don't know if you noted it, Luke, but I believe Tim once played with John Cale? (That means something to rock music purists, though not to you.)

AOL Sues CEN

Here's an excerpt from the story on Joseph Elkind's CyberEntertainment Network:

In a crackdown on spam, America Online is suing a company that owns and operates pornographic Web sites, accusing it of sending junk email to AOL members.

"Legally the lawsuit is important because it establishes liability for an adult Web site--that they are causing spam to be sent or are knowingly in a conspiracy with the spammers. This makes them negligent in their no-spam policy," said Nicholas Graham, an AOL spokesman.

In addition to naming the two owners of Cyber Entertainment Networks, John Bennett and Joseph Elkind, the lawsuit names eight employees and 29 Webmasters under contract to promote the sites. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Virginia late last month.

Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Cyber Entertainment, legally known as Netvision Audiotext, publishes adult Web sites and online magazines and produces live, interactive adult entertainment, according to its Web site.

The company promotes its Web sites by authorizing other Webmasters to send traffic its way in exchange for a commission on sales. Interested Webmasters often set up promotional sites through free Web services and then try to lure new customers to their sites--and ultimately onto Cyber Entertainment's adult sites--by sending sexually explicit email.

According to the complaint, "the defendants have conspired with each Web master and others to engage in this unlawful conduct. In addition, the defendants...have violated common law by...hiring and retaining the defendants as advertising Web masters who they knew or should have known were sending illegal (unsolicited bulk email) messages."

You Can Lead A Whorticulture

For oral delivery in an oxymoronic aristocratic Australian accent:

Once upon a time there was a naughty boy named Luke Fwhored. Fwhored was a media whore if ever there was one. He entered the good graces of the pwhorn industry by purpwhorting to be a legitimate journalist researching a factual book on pwhornography (another oxymoron?) Instead, he published pwhorners' intimacies on his website, blowing his own whorn until he was whoarse, looking fwhore publicity to feed his narcissistic compulsions.

Luke knew he was a bad little boy, which is why he spent so much time in prayer, and why he punished himself by living in a hovel and sleeping on the flwhore. Accompanied by cowhorts, Chaim, Curious, Brandy and mwhore, Fwhored exwhorts us to monitwhore our spirituality as we titillate ourselves with pwhorn, setting up constant conflict in us, hence an unresolvable addiction to his column, hence a living making trouble. Hee hee hee.

Luke talks to Kendra Jade about whorticulture.

Fred writes: 1. One can tell, Luke, that you make jokes to avoid intimacy. (You use humor the same way I do.) 2. I have a similar theory to your theory of development. I was traumatized as a child, because my mother tried to breast feed me from falsies. I've never recovered.

NY Times Article On Giuliani's Attack On Sex Shops

Dan Barry writes for the Monday NYTimes.com:

In the summer of 1998, the city's highly publicized crackdown on the sex-shop industry seemed destined to be a cornerstone of Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's quality-of-life legacy. Teams of city inspectors fanned across New York, padlocking doors and handing out see-you-in-court notices as part of an effort to shut down two-thirds of the 144 establishments within a year.

Toward that end, the city's lawyers papered the courts with motions seeking to close or restrict businesses in all five boroughs — from Les Hommes, a video store on the Upper West Side, to the Wiggles topless club in Queens, from the Love Shack in the Bronx to Peepland in Times Square.

Today, all four of those establishments remain open, though in modified forms, with more space devoted to nonsexual entertainment and video shelves stocked with westerns and martial arts movies. In fact, when all the closings, relocations and openings are taken into consideration, a total of 142 "adult" businesses are operating in New York today — two less than in 1998.

A string of court defeats over the last two years persuaded the Giuliani administration to call a timeout in its crusade against the city's sex industry a couple of months ago, and to reconsider its approach. Steven M. Fishner, the mayor's criminal justice coordinator, said Friday that the administration would soon announce a plan to strengthen the sex-shop zoning law that so far has had little effect on the city landscape.

Ron writes on RAME: I was glad to read about Giuliani's for-most-part, unsuccessful attempts to close the sex shops. I sort of knew that it had failed since I regulary go into the city to buy porn. For a while, he had momentum and it looked like he was going to be able to reduce the number of shops. Many shops relocated to different parts of the city. The impact that would have had was to increase the price and decrease the selections. But lately, it has become clear that he was not sucessful in reducing the video stores. He did remove the live sex shows, but that reduction may also be attributable to the aids epidemic.

It makes me feel more confident that we (porn enthusiasts) can weather the Ashcroft/Bush/Cheney (ABC) onslaught on porn. If Giuliani cannot remove porn in a city, albeit, one with very liberal traditions, how can ABC do so in the entire country? However, they can reduce or limit the number of cutting edge (ultra hard) porn.

Nospam writes on RAME: It does seem that many of those shops have moved however though. When I used to take the bus into the city I'd see hookers and sex shops right outside of Port Authority. Now I see Mickey Mouse and Goofey and only a small number of sex shops. I'll walk to the "designated" areas to get porn. Certainly Goofey makes a better impression on out of town tourists than dirty old sex shops.

BofNYC writes: They are basically going to re-write the law so that they can close that anything that's left. It's vintage Giuliani. What I don't understand is why he has never gone after the houses of prostitution here in New York. There are tons of them, and they freely and openly advertise in publications like The Village Voice and Screw. But for some reason, Giuliani has never made an attempt to include them in his quality of life campaign. Considering that he's gone after everything else, from jay walking to food vendors, it seems odd.

Bill writes Luke: Why does Giuliani go after the porn shops? It's the real estate stupid;-) Think he cares about cleaning up porn for the sake of morals? Wrong!

New York Ho's Here

Chaim Amalek writes: Most of the street hookers have indeed been swept from the streets of Manhattan. The prostitution that remains - and it is considerable, to judge from all the ads in the New York Press and Screw - has been driven to the townhouses in quiet sidestreets, where it belongs. Kudos to Mayor Rudy for having the good sense to go that far and no further.

Digital Playground Signs Janine

Digital Playground PR writes: Digital Playground has signed Janine Lindemulder to an exclusive contract and you can hear a faint jingling of wedding bells in the Digital Playground offices. President Joone is thrilled. “Janine put the adult industry on the map; she’s the biggest star our industry has ever seen. From a business standpoint, adding Janine to our line-up is brilliant, and on a personal note, I am honored to include Janine into our family. “ Vice President, Samantha Lewis backs Joone 100% stating, “Janine is amazing. I couldn’t be prouder. I look forward to our relationship with excitement and I think we’ll all be very happy.” Janine says, “I like the people involved. I like the operation they run over there. Digital Playground is very ready to listen to my ideas. We are doing some projects that I have never done before and everybody involved is really excited about it.”

Janine picture

On the Bob Berkowitz Lovebytes show, Dyanna Lauren said she was shocked by the news. Dyanna knew that Janine wanted to return to the industry and Lauren speculated that Janine's move to Digital Playground was because Steve Hirsch at Vivid did not want Janine back.

The Hessian writes: Congratulations to Digital Playground for signing a pushing 40, only works with girls, garishly tattooed, hair as black as a witches' and apparently implant removed Janine. This should help you make great inroads into the untapped elderly, tattooed, Wiccan lesbian market. For the rest of us, we say, "Janine? ZZZZZZZZZZZ."

Incredulous writes: Gimme a break! Janine is not 31 years old for crying out loud. She could spit and hit 40!

On January 12, 2000, Luke published:

After announcing her retirement five months ago, Janine is returning to Vivid Video and to performing sex on camera with other girls. At age 31, she still looks great. When I talked to her at CES, she sounded confused and uncertain about her future but it now looks like she'll head back out on the road as a stripper, and in about eight months will return to on-camera work. Most of Janine loves porno but someone close to her was talking her into leaving.

JRobinson writes: Janine is coming out of "retirement." What a shocker. Who would have thought? Does she win the Lukey for Shortest Retirement Between Feature Films? Or did someone else have an even shorter "retirement?" I seem to recall sending you a somewhat chaotic e-mail when she retired giving it about six months.

Luke On Lovebytes

I was live on the Bob Berkowitz show Lovebytes on Eyada.com with Vivid director Dyanna Lauren.

Lauren mentions that she's paired up with John, the owner of the Spearmint Rhino stripclub chain, since September. She's on the line from London. Dyanna broke up with fellow Vivid porn actor Stephen St. Croix in February.

Dyanna is in London because her boyfriend is opening Spearmint Rhino clubs there. He's also opening up clubs in Moscow and elsewhere.

Lauren has known John for 15 years through his ownership of various clubs.

Dyanna: "Stephen and I broke up in June. We had pretty much broken up in February and we had tried to work things out until June. And then in September, I started dating John."

Luke: "There was a lot of talk a few years ago about Spearmint Rhino getting into the video business?"

Dyanna: "We were going to do that a few years ago... I was going to do it with him. I was very upfront and honest. So many people think there is so much more money to be made [in video pornography] but the pie has been split into so many different pieces. It's not worth it. It's better to take your money and put it into adult cabarets around the world."

Luke: "Spearmint Rhino has had a controversial reputation within the industry?"

Dyanna: "What's the controversy about?"

Luke doesn't remember but comes up with: "Girls not getting paid... That they were signing contract girls to do these videos..."

Dyanna: "That's not true in any way shape or form. Whoever made the statements was just trying to sensationalize themselves. I was the one who was going to do the video company... There's no way that could be true. They did do a line of strip videos with a few girl-girl things..."

Excerpts from Luke and Dyanna on Lovebytes: Listen here1 Listen here2 Listen3 Listen4 Listen5 Lauren Lauren

Mike writes: Hey Luke I heard the interview on Lovebytes with Dyanna Lauren and you. I will say Dyanna does sound like a reasonable and intelligent woman. There was one area where I had to disagree with her. The part where she said she attended a Christian College and majored in theology. To paraphrase her she said it was wrong for Christians to persecute or judge because it was not forgiving or Christlike. I think she's heard the cliche term hate the sin but love the sinner. Ultimately we all judge people based on something looks, beliefs, stereotypes, character. I think a religious person or anyone else can dislike something someone does and still not have a hatred of that person. I think you could say many of the people in the adult industry would feel that way about you. Of course ultimately for a religious person God will be the ultimate judge but that does not mean a person cannot have an opinion on something and finally come to judgement of their own.I think as long as people are interested in sex there will always be porn in some form. The real question is how accesible it is to the general public or kids and what reasonable laws should be enforced as far as community stadards go vs the right of an adult view porn.

Marc writes: i tuned in late to hear lynne in all her glory ... sounds great. but the feed is almost *impossible* to hear live. i'll hafta start from scratch to hear it. (no wonder they have a hard time gaining listeners; it's hard to be compelled to come back.)

Lynne writes: Luke, thank you encouraging my participation in the eyada.com "Love Bytes with Bob Berkowitz" radio stream this evening. (I e-mailed Bob and thanked him as well.) It was quite a treat. I have admired Dyanna Lauren's stage presence for years, and thought she was a great lead-in for you, and was so pleased to hear that she deliberately formed her own opinion of you, rather than just listening to the highly vocal few who disparaged you. Plus I was glad to know that she was wearing her robe with nothing underneath -- a pleasant distraction from the idea of you in your Orthodox pajamas.

However, I must disagree with her belief that women whine and blame their gender as an excuse when not succeed, and using her own success as an example. (Your comment on this, by the way, was stunning in its diplomacy.) Dyanna Lauren was a marketable star presence when she approached Vivid with a production offer. I don't know that her first movie was any better or worse than mine, only that she is the highly profitable Dyanna Lauren, Golden Girl, and I am a short, chubby Jewish girl with frizzy hair and no family connections. Who could more easily charm a pornographer into a deal? The drop-dead-stunning Luke F-rd, or the aesthetically challenged Chaim Amalek?

Also, I am gratified to know that the hardware and technology are indeed available to move porn reproduction and distribution beyond magnetic tape, though I feel that for economic reasons we're going to be stuck with videocassettes for a while longer. DVD playback units should saturate the market by next year, if they haven't done so already. Compared to VCR's, computers with recording DVD drives or stand alone DVD recording units are a little expensive, still, and WEB TV itself has limited distribution as of yet.

If the Justice Department had been more selective about the material they prosecuted, they might have been more successful during the last Republican administration's attack on porn. Unfortunately for them, though fortunately for us, they weren't the slightest bit discriminate as to what they chose to put on trial. Law enforcement doesn't have any better understanding of the long-untested obscenity laws than do pornographers. Most of the cases from the early 1990's were never brought to trial! Russ Hampshire did time as part of a plea bargain, not a conviction for having made obscene material, which to my knowledge, he would never do. Russ may be many things, but "perverted" isn't one of them. Those prosecutions damaged the porn industry by sucking money out of it, sending companies with money running for the vanilla even as mainstream entertainment became more explicit under Clinton. Next thing we knew every pervert in America owned a home video camera and was in competition with organized cri -er, porn. Things changed, for better or worse -- probably both.

My Experience With The Big Dog

Luke says: I've heard serious charges about C.S. Kelly, a Tampa, Florida resident and operator of the largest internet prostitution operation in North America. See www.bigdoggie.net. In operation for the past three years. Now claims more than 1 million site visits per month.

I've heard that Kelly charges prostitutes as much as two thousand dollars a month cash for "high ratings" on his "Top 100" list of internet-based prostitutes. See www.bigdoggie.net/national.htm. I've also heard accusations that Kelly demands and receives sexual services from these prostitutes.

If anyone can confirm or deny the charges, please Email Luke. Kelly denies the charges. The charges have been widely posted around the internet along with lots of personal information about Kelly.

Julia from Juliaforyou.com writes: Luke, I've had nothing but good experiences with TBD. There have been a few incidences where I went to him for help and received it - no questions asked. For example, one time a poster from another city was flaming me all over the boards because he couldn't get what he wanted from me (he was trying to negotiate my rate - to make a long story short); TBD and I were yet to meet at that time but he came to my rescue without any coaxing from me. There was another, more serious situation, where someone in another city wrote a false review of me (the guy never met me). This person also sent me a very nasty email letter calling me every name under the sun (I had refused to meet with him). I asked TBD (I do call him by his real name in person - using TBD for simplicity) to intervene. After some research on TBD's part, and a few email warnings on my part to others in the industry, it turned out this guy has been stalking and harrassing women in the industry for years. TBD also helped me out when another provider (much higher rated than me by about 30 points) continuously slammed me behind my back with the intent to ruin my business.

I am on the top 100 (national) and 10 (regional) list though not very highly placed compared to the other ladies on the list (56 and 10 respectfully). Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be on the list and realize that I don't have to be. But I was on the list long before I met TBD. Yes, we did meet once when I was passed through his city enroute to somewhere else. He paid for his session just like everyone else, never forced me to do anything that would have made me feel uncomfortable, and the only thing I did for him that I have done for only one other client was I gave him a tropical shirt - which I make on the side - to show my appreciation for all his help. Furthermore, regarding my meeting with TBD, it matters not to me "who" he is in the adult community; I will not allow anyone to intimidate me into doing something I'm not willing to do with another just because he's well known on the internet. I like TBD, I consider our one session together to have been pleasant (in fact, it went well over the hour which, if I had a problem with that, I would have "kicked him out" closer to the end of his session time than the actual time he left - we were having a good time!), I would meet with him again if he wanted, and would gladly meet up with him for a drink or lunch "off the clock". I cannot say that about too many people because most take advantage of such generous offers extended by a provider. I pay a banner rate for my banner to appear on his site which doesn't cost anymore than if I placed an ad with Houston Exotics. Like most people who run ads on their adult site, TBD has a different rate for a banner ad on the first page and other rates depending on where your ad is placed; it's all about business; the pages that get the most attention will cost more for ads just like a newspaper or billboard sign. If you can't afford to pay, or don't think it's worth the money, then you're under no obligation to continue (of course you lose your ad, just like any other place)

TBD is probably the only message board owner and manager who will - and without fault - come to a provider's rescue, quickly and cleanly. Some of the men in the adult industry can be dangerous with their words and actions knowing full well it can ruin a lady's career undeservingly. TBD is more of an advocate for us ladies and will come to anyone's rescue even if she isn't on his list or has never heard of her. However, if a lady has repeatedly given reason that she provides less than acceptable service for the men (ie: does not keep her appointments; slams other providers; etc.) TBD will leave such complaints alone and her to fend for herself. The man (and I use that word loosely) who is spreading around personal information about TBD on the internet to all the ladies via email is probably someone who harrassed a provider whom TBD defended. No one likes to have their personal information splashed all over the internet. However, at the same token, some people deserve it, and others don't; TBD does not deserve to have someone pry into his personal life like this. It is my belief and opinion that TBD is a very fair person when it comes to disputes - considering he is not the fly on the wall - and with how he runs his message board. If TBD really was the type of person described in that man's (term used loosely) email letter and propaganda the women in this industry would be complaining; in fact, I know of only one woman who complains about TBD and she does not have stellar reviews on ANY board from visiting clients. Funny how it's always a man who circulates the propaganda against TBD.

Julia from Juliaforyou.com replies to Chuch Stuart, who's circulating negative information around the internet about The Big Dog (C.S. Kelly):

You, sir, are excreta. I have no idea what your (perceived) problem is with TBD, nor do I care. With your libelous message to the FBI, me, and everyone else you copied, you have demonstrated beyond any doubt that you only endeavor to achieve village idiot status.

Fortunately, the FBI makes a reasonable effort to avoid wasting taxpayer dollars on witch hunts. I assume they also have considerable experience in dealing with crank messages, and those who make false claims in furtherance of personal agendas.

Propagandists such as yourself seem to think that committing such tripe to print magically transforms the statements to truth. I feel no need to sink to your level to debate the falsehoods you seek to propagate, but I will make a statement as it applies to me.

According to you, as #1 nationally on the TBD list, I should be paying a considerable amount to Charles, as well as providing just about anything else he desires.

Under oath, and with a VERY clear conscience, I can state that such is not the case, nor has it ever been, nor have I ever been asked to do so.

I fully understand, by application of your twisted logic, that anything I say will be immediately spun as an attempt to protect TBD, since according to you, he's effectively a 'pimp'.

Using your attempt to prevent any reasonable response, I'll ask you; "do you still molest children?" Please answer "yes" or "no", as no other answer will be accepted.

Your "cash only" comment is especially malodorous, since it would render it impossible to disprove such payments. Bad news Numbnuts; it makes it quite impossible to prove such payments as well.

Frankly, I don't give a damn what you claim, or how you attempt to manipulate the truth.

I'm FULLY prepared to make a statement to the FBI. You have alledged that I have broken several Federal laws, which I have not. My facts are irrefutable, while you offer innuendoes and allegations.

On the other hand, I challenge you to prove your statements. "He said, she said" and other spurious claims do NOT constitute proof in these United States. Any first person, tangible, evidence would suffice, and I'm sure you cannot provide such. In my case, I guarantee you can't, because these things never happened.

I am equally prepared to testify should the target of your libel seek to pursue legal action against you, which I sincerely hope he does. You have grossly exceeded the bounds of law, and should be held accountable for your actions.

So, are you a player, or just a pretender with a big mouth? If you want to play, let's rumble, because "it's SHOWTIME". Otherwise, please flush the toilet and send yourself back where you belong. Bluff called, bet covered, limit raise, jerk.

RangerRick writes: First off I think a woman who is under CONTRACT needs to listen everything a man or woman tells her. That is what contract is about and that is what rules were made a long time ago. I dont think a show of gratitude is needs to be shown but to be publicly rude and use words like "RAPED ME" is a bunch of s---. I say again that Devon would be sitting there lap dancin for $20 or 25 bucks if she didnt have Vivid pump her to a feature dancer. Did she earn that chance by luck or was it her association with VIVID?? I am sure there is a whole other side to the ANAL scene for Medical Bills saga that we will never know unless Steve comes forward which he wont do I am sure till after the AEE this week. That business is full of people who use others for profit and that is what makes the Porn world go round.

I only think that if she is created to be DEVON and she can use that for at least 5 years to profit after he contract goes away then she should not be using this or any other site to bash VIVID. She should be thanking them for the last 2 years will she sat home and shot 10 movies a year and got a paycheck bigger than most girls in the industry who shoot many times more. This crap about not being pushed is a whole bunch of s---. What did she expect?? A full color page billboard on Sunset next to Creed??? She f---s for a living on film and that is all. She doesnt donate a large part of her earnings to charity and she doesnt go from hospital to hospital visiting sick children. What makes her deserving of a MAJOR PUSH bigger than anyone else. Once again i remind you that gang bang is only a hop, skip and a jump away so be prepared to get that ass in shape. With every stroke from the 10 or 12 guys she does she will hopefully be reminded how good it was at VIVID.

Scott writes: I think I speak for most porn fans when I say that Devon should have shut up, bent over and taken the anal, and then had the decency to show us a nice-sized gape afterwards. Any woman who can't take a little poke in the dooker hardly qualifies as a "porn star" these days. Devon's lucky she didn't work for a REAL porno company to start with, or she would be no stranger to the process of being bent, spread, and anally reamed for the pleasure of her viewing public.

Gilles writes: Devon is part of those beauty who are and will making money from all those who critic her for not taking it the ass.Sorry,but all the biggest star don't take it in the ass(or extremely rarely)and the wisest one,only makes it available through there own site where they collect all the money.Vivid certainly didn't hurt her career nor did they help her very much in the last miles.I'm not worried about her success and it looks like she's already planning a brilliant future with the new Jill Kelly company.Best wishes.

Ian writes: Hi Luke, You recently carried some correspondence on the unreliability of statistics on the porn industry, especially those which emanate from AVN. Doesn't the federal government publish statistics on the industry? After all, it publishes statistics on gross domestic product, which must include the contribution of service industries such as adult cinema/video porn. The statistics ought to be reasonably reliable, since they relate to the legally (if, possibly, not socially) acceptable commercial activities of bodies ('adult' production and distribution companies) and individuals (cameramen, set designers, actresses and actors) who expect to pay taxes on their earnings. Though many of your readers will only be interested in the more explicit content of your site, you don't yourself seem averse to an occasional change of pace. I'm sure a sizeable proportion of your readers (definitely including me) would be interested in seeing a broad summary of official financial and manpower (including womanpower) statistics relating to the US cinema/video porn industry in a recent year. Could you, or one of your more informed readers, provide it?

Tully writes: I am a huge fan of porn actress Tabitha Stevens and a pretty big fan of your site. I work in the industry and have so for a few years and I heard a rumor this past week that Tabitha will be on the road for over a month in Feb - March with Morbid Angel who are gonna be on the road supporting Pantera. I wanted to know if this is true. What is this connection and how does this happen. I know Vivid had a promotion earlier this year where some of their girls signed at in-store appearances but from what I understand she will actually be flying and traveling from show to show. IS this true and how can I get some of my friends that make videos the same hook up and oppurtunity she is getting. IS there a person to call or is there a contest or something that a girl needs to enter. How does a porn actress get to travel across America on a tour on this size. I will certainly be at the Universal Amphitheater to see her in Feb. I think if Ms. Stevens uses this oppurtunity to promote herself then she can make huge leaps for herself.

Luke, everyone within the Extreme organization knows that Rob lost the Avn cover because he failed to honor the payment agreements he made with various vendors, including Fishidiot and AVN. How long are you gonna carry your deadbeat clients, especially when they try to ruin your business and your credibility? Even a moron like Fishbein is eventaully gonna wise up. This smells like his partner finally stepping into the mess that Fishidiot has allowed to happen....Ask Rob Black how much money Extreme owes the various players within the adult industry?

Jeremy replies: I'd like to ask Brandy what her supposed trick is to keeping a client of hers on a top ten list.. But foremost, I'd like to ask her, whoever you are, What's with your f---ing negativity? It's enough to perhaps say that me shooting to number three is "not impressive", for whatever intellectual reasons, is that is your honest opinion.. It is still negative, of course.. But to say it's "so unimpressive" denotes a person with some serious personal issues in life.. You sound like some sad cunt who has decided that she has nothing to do, throwing her misery on other people.. In fact, l-keford.com seems to have alot of people that just like to do nothing but bitch all the time.. Try getting a perspective.. There's more to life than what you see from your perpetually miserable standpoint.. I've done nothing to you.. Some of us are trying to create something of meaning while others seek to s--- on those around them because s--- is all they can do and s--- is all that they are!

Brandy writes: I found it!!! Here is the "Plugging Jesus" anal toy. The description reads: "Worship your Lord and Savior every hour of every day, even when fornicating! Our heavy-duty clear acrylic butt plug is laser-engraved with an image of our Master, Jesus Christ.

Well, now he can resERECT the most pious penis before he ascends to his father with the burnished texture his image creates so you can feel Jesus in your heart, soul... and rectum. The unique flared base of this buttplug helps to prevent the worship of your or your partner's ass from going "too far." Such a slip would require too many Hail Mary's to count. And speaking of Mary, don't forget to order some of our exclusive "Immaculate Contraception" anal jelly containing nonoxynol-9.

I don't know aboout you, but I found James Baker (and his famous comments about Jews) very offensive during the post election "campaign". This man may be one of the leading anti-semites in the country. I just can't picture Baker, Cheney and the Bush clan getting comfortable watching Jackie Mason at a hotel in the Catskills, dining on sturgeon, lox, and pickled herring. The whole group surrounding the Bush family is dangerous. I think that you might find this link very interesting. I'd like to see Dennis Prager defend the claims found here. It is very well researched and footnoted.

Whoremongers Slam Luke

Helpful writes: This thread is hysterical. Click here: NV Brothels Discussion Forum

Sjambok writes on the Nevada Brothels Forum: Most of Luke F-rds writing has the coherency of the unibomber. William S. Burroughs he isnt. I think a daily dose of thorazine would serve the boy well. I thought it was ironic that he posted a psychiatrists evaluation of him on his site that diagnosed him with hedonistic personality disorder, which is evident to anyone who has visited his site or has followed his antics. We should probably stop talking about him because he lives for attention in any form.

That self-admitted mental patient Luke F-rd--hedonistic personality disorder according to a psychiatrists evaluation that he posted on his website--has copied this entire list of messages onto his webpage on the entry for Sunday Dec. 31. This guy is famous spreading false rumors--a recent one he settled out of court for 6 figures involved him posting a beastiality photo and claiming that it was a famous adult actress which later proved to be false. He lives for attention without regard as to how it might hurt someone else. He is also famous for posting letters to himself written under other names on his website. The guys writing is about as coherent as the unibomber and he loves to record private conversations and post private e-mail.

JenLynn responds: Hey, don't pick too hard on us "psychiatrically challenged." We're good people (and we write most of what entertains you, thus spreading our disease, LOL)

Sjambok responds: I have nothing against someone for being "psychaitrically challenged" or whatever, but for what they do. This Luke F-rd guy does things like posts beastiality pictures on his site claiming that they are of a famous porn actress and got sued and lost. He lives to get attention and doesnt care who he hurts by posting personal information---like porn stars real names---or completely bogus info on his site.

JenLynn responds: It seems that you're familiar very familiar with his column. It also seems that you have some reason to be angry toward this person and his work. So I wonder, which producer or starlet you are?

Sjambok responds: Just because I dont like him and am familiar with his column doesnt necessarily mean I am in the business. All you have to do is read his column to see exactly how incoherent his rambling that he tries to pass for writing is. Given his track record, he doesnt have to have done anything to me personally for me to dislike the guy.

To get a better idea of who he is visit the off topic category of this website where he started a thread titled 'I just got laid.' Notice how he is incapable of carrying on a coherent exchange there. Ive had more intelligent conversations with street people.

I dont consider that guy to be the media. Just an incoherent fanboy wannabe who is a legend in his own mind. Unfortunately some people in the adult industry indulge his ego by talking to him. At one time he did post *some* news regarding the adult media rather than his own incoherent rants. Then theres that guy Todd Hunter at Geneross.com who is supposed to be covering the adult film industry but spends most of his time whining about politics. So why wste your time reading his webpage?

JenLynn responds: Because of what Oscar Wilde once said: "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." That's true of entertainers more than anyone. And adult entertainers don't have a sparkly-clean image to uphold, so pretty much any attention is good attention.

As an example, Bianca Trump took some heavy crap on Stern's show not too long ago. Around then, there was also the false report that she was going to dismantle her website. As usual when folks talk s--- about her, the hits on my site from people looking her up on search engines quadrupled. I'm sure it's the same with her own site.

In any event, I don't mean to comment on accuracy in reporting. People don't want accuracy: they want 1) entertained and 2) to hear things that feed their own values and beliefs rather than challenge them.

Luke F-rd has done something that is *extremely* difficult to do. He's gained an audience. He entertains thousands *daily* and he presents the adult industry the way people like to think it is.

There are two major growth areas for unknown writers, and those are porn and (lumped together) religious/family/kids. It's a difficult game to gain an audience in either of those areas. Luke F-rd has done both. You may not like it. It may even in some objective way not even be good. But he did it (and thus, he did it *right*).

As far as accuracy: at least he's not like U.S. news reporting "facts" on the adult industry, and people taking for granted that it's true because Eric Schlosser says so. Schlosser: "Leading stars are paid roughly $1,000 per scene. The vast majority of porn actresses are 'B girls,' who earn about $300 a scene." (Schlosser also writes major film reviews, articles on prisons, victims' families handling grief, and whatever else rattles in his head on a given day. Sometimes, he wins awards from his colleagues.)

I Just Got Laid

Some guy imitating my style is posting in the NVBrothels.com forums. It's not me.

A "Luke F-rd" posts on the NV Brothels forum: I just got laid!

Shambok responds: I thought you said in a question you posted in another topic about Lesbianism that you were gay. Now you are saying you had sex with a woman. So are you gay or bi? If you claim to be gay or bi, have you ever been with a man, or is it just another statement that you throw around like everything else to be provacative and get attention?

I've visited your site and there is little current info on what is happening in the porn world, only a lot postings of e-mail sent to you, often written by yourself under other names like Chaim what's his name, and parodies that are not the least bit humorous. Your writing goes from one paragraph to another with little or no transition between them, and is often slightly more coherent than that of the Unibomber. And let's not forget starting unsubstantiated rumors to get attention, while hurting people, like that recent libel case in which you settled out of court.

"Luke F-rd" responds: I don't give a s--- about being coherent. My readers see only one side of the email correspondence, which is fine by me. Often, these are part of a much lengthier exchange, but it serves me just fine, since the web postings are just notes for a future book, as far as I'm concerned.

On the question of aliases, I'm sorry you find my site so confusing. Chaim/Shame is my homosexual alias, the part I can't fit into my Jewish identity as Luke, rumdar/gaydar is the original Chaim, and emmett is out of the closet. I use emmett when I post to geneross.com.

Why don't you just tell me to go f--- myself? Yes, I am really a gay man. I have a crush on Paul Fishbein, and I would suck Steve Hirsch's dick any time. When my homophobia becomes intense, I get laid. Of course, I always have lots of eager young pornets around to do my bidding, although my libido isn't strong, and I usually just wank my unruly urges away one at a time.

Are you suggesting my Judaism is really just a front for my racism and homophobia. I have never denied that if it were not for Judaism I would be KKK.

Porn is racist and homophobic in case you haven't noticed. Both are legitimized and upheld by my Jewish beliefs, so I am unashamed to profess them.

Sjambok responds: This and the rest of your post is the typical incoherent rambling that one comes to expect from someone who gleefully posts details of a psychiatrists evaluation of his mental disorder on his website. I forget, was it hedonistic personality disorder or bi-polar derpression that you were dignoosed as suffering from?

Luke F-rd responds: Thanks for the questions. I really appreciate your asking them. I simply believe I am the best at what I do. If it amuses me, that is sufficient reason to do it. Good point. I am in it for money, sex and for personal gain, just like everyone else in this business. We'll have to get together for lunch the next time you're in L.A. (From NV Brothels Discussion Forum)
