Jane writes: A note to Chrisbelluci69, Rocket Scientist: First of all you write this woman and ask her rates, then insult her appearance and her site. I went to Keristarr.com and had a look and I'll grant you, it's a crappy site and I wouldn't pay $1,500 plus travel expenses to boff her either. But honey, let me tell you, with an attitude like yours, I wouldn't boff you, period. Kerriskank.com! Come on Chris, what are you, 12? She's obviously selling her body. Of course she's a skank. Silly little man! You act like you've exposed some great riddle of our times, when really the only thing you exposed is the fact that you are looking to pay for sex cause you have an abrasive personality which prevents you from getting laid for free. And you probably can't even afford to buy it which causes you furthur anger which you then took out on Ms. Starr.

The kind of thinking by Chris also relates to these comments posted on your site yesterday: Thomas writes: "I emailed tria devereaux. I asked her some questions, like what is her favorite moviestar, rock band, if she like thunderstorms. The response i recieved was that i was being to personal. My question to you is she was doing gang bans and d.p.'s on film for the whole world to see including friens and relatives. Me, asking innocent questions like favorite movie is out of line. Are these chicks greedy or what?"

Are they greedy? Maybe. Probably just making a living. You guys want it both ways don't you? You want to turn women into sexual objects, they have no value to you other than what they can suck, swallow, or bend over for. f---ing machines essentially. You like them especially for this ability, you celebrate it! But, here's the twist, you expect that because she does gang bangs she must also be prepared to give you her soul, right? Answer your innocent questions about thunderstorms and such, oh what a sensitive guy you are! You want her to be real, to be human and caring to boot! How dare she refuse, she must be greedy! You know Thomas, they are real people, but they are also businesswomen. This isn't rocket science either, but most "nice" girls don't f--- on film for money with hundreds of partners, so should it be a great surprise to you that Ms. Devereaux doesn't necessarily want to be nice? To give you personal details about her life? Why? She's a porn star Thomas, not your potential girlfriend. She f---s for money, get it? You guys all want the hooker with the heart of gold. Get over it. You are just $$$$$ to them.

Mr Marcus Speaks

I spoke to Mr Marcus Sunday night. Listen here

Mr Marcus: "Oh man. Some crazy things, huh? I never knew it would get like this."

Luke: "When did you first find out about this stuff going down?"

Mr Marcus: "The night after it happened [Monday night, January 15th]. First thing in the morning. It was that someone had to say something to me that was interesting. Put me in a weird position, because this was the same company that I had worked for."

Luke: "Did Vivid contact you officially?"

Mr Marcus: "Through sources. They want me to talk to Chris Mann [owner of Video Team] and they want it explained to me why they are taking this stance. And I haven't yet because I don't want to hear no excuses. There should be a solution immediately.

"There needs to be a discussion... It can't be these four [companies]... That's not fair... It's a slap in the face.

"Can you still think that way in the year 2001? Can you still think that's an issue? These people who you are so worried about in the South, you're going to let them dictate what the rest of the world is doing? Hell no. The South is a big area of negative energy.

"I don't think it [interracial scenes] should attract obscenity charges or unwanted attention. What about in public life? What about interracial dating in mainstream? What about the people walking around in public hand in hand? What do you say to those people? 'Hey, you guys keep that in the house.'"

Luke: "It doesn't affect them because they're not going to get charged with obscenity."

Mr Marcus: "But we're creating products that are eventually going to reach everyone. If you make a movie or write a book, it's not just going to affect people in literary circles. It affects everyone."

[LF: Mr Marcus seems to say that artists should be socially and morally responsible for what they create, because their products affect a society's moral fibre. I agree.]

Luke: "They're making a business decision that this sort of material is just too risky right now."

Mr Marcus: "I know but it doesn't give them the right to issue a statement saying no black men and white women depictions... It's something that starts with something as simple as being on the box down to the actual filming. It has to. What are you going to take pictures of? What is the story going to be about?"

[Mr Marcus warns about the slippery moral slope. You start doing one bad thing, and it leads to more bad things. As the Hebrews say, one good deed leads to another. One sin leads to another.]

Mr Marcus: "At one point they were using that. Those two different colors of skin to sell the product. The same companies [Vivid, Video Team, Hustler, etc]. Their biggest girls were doing interracial. I don't know. Maybe it was sending the wrong message to somebody."

Luke: "What percentage of your scenes are with black girls vs white girls?"

Mr Marcus: "Black talent, we're not abundant in the first place. There are not that many black productions. And if there are, they're not big scale projects. They're not paying everyone top dollar. I shoot about two black scenes a week. I remember at one point, the peak was black product... I think there should be equality across the board.

"It's ok for the white guy and the black girl. What's that?"

Luke: "Many people are sensitive about black guys doing white girls."

Mr Marcus: "It's offending but it's not obscene.

"I plan to get my chatboard back up in a week. I plan to do a weekly chat like you were doing. I feel like I have a lot to say. I feel that there are times when I can curb things before they actually happen just by saying it ahead of time. And to get that feedback..."

Luke: "The whole industry is in turmoil right now."

Mr Marcus: "So we run and hide? What's sex going to be about? What we think it is or what it really is? Up to this point we've been pretty damn creative with porno... The last couple of years have seen a lot of changes. We're able to be responsible. We've been more accepted... Maybe we were getting too ahead of ourselves with that extreme sex... But then you think about the numbers that are selling...because there are people who want to do it and there are people who want to do it. Same thing with interracial sex. It wasn't like the sales were bad and they had to stop making it."

Luke: "When were you with Sylvia Saint?"

Mr Marcus: "In December [2000]."

Luke: "So she left you for this multi-millionaire?"

Mr Marcus: "It's a tough thing to talk about because it is a rumor and she's so far away and I am here... What I hear from her is nothing like that. I'm going to make a trip out there and I will be able to see her face to face.

"She's a very stubborn girl. But she's got a lot of love in her heart. She's wanted to get out of the industry for a long time. In the last few months, she was gearing up for that. She made the move quicker than I did. She was a lot more committed to the idea than I was. As time might have, I might be finding my way out of the business."

Luke: "Would you like to get out of the business?"

Mr Marcus: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel that I accomplished a few goals in the industry, but what can I accomplish in porno? My mind is tinkering... It's looking for something, and it's probably getting out of the business. This is easy. Anybody can f---. Anybody can do this s---. The only thing that inspired me to stay was the variety of the girls that I was f---ing. The money has never been an issue.

"It was always the variety of the girls. Every girl was different. My appreciation for them has definitely grown. It's gone through the roof. But if I was going to settle down, I would look over at Sylvia and say, 'Yeah, I've got to settle down with her.' Because she's a much deeper person..."

Luke: "Do you know Kira Eggers?"

Mr Marcus: "Yes, I met her at CES at the Michael Raven booth. Very sexy and very flirtatious. Big eyes. Her eyes will get you. She's very mental. She's a thinker. She doesn't allow herself to enjoy many things without knowing why she's enjoying it."

Luke: "There was a photo of you on your board which showed you engaged in homosexuality."

Mr Marcus: "That was forged. You shouldn't even ask me that s--- man. Man, why would you do that? Why take the time?"

Luke: "Do you use steroids?"

Mr Marcus: "No. I started lifting weights in 1986. It's natural. Give me credit. I work my ass off. Three, four times a week in the gym for an hour."

Extreme Failues

MoronsatExtreme writes on the ExtremeAssociates.com message board:

You will never have an updated or top 10,000 ranked pay site because everything this company tries to do, fails miserably. Examples. Hanco website == EXTREME failure

Creating a new website == EXTREME failure. (Hey Kev, try cleaning a chrome before you scan it. I mean, we know 98% of the woman that you shoot are dogs, but the least you could do is get rid of the s--- on the images.)

Extreme the Magazine == EXTREME failure

XPW the TV show == EXTREME failure.

Rob Black's mayoral candidacy == guaranteed failure.

E-Days == EXTREME failure.

AVN Coup == EXTREME failure.

Keeping Contract Girls == Jasmine ST. Claire, Kristi Myst, Tiffany Mynx, Monique, Alana Evans, Ashlyn Gere and many more. EXTREME failure.

Making sure a GM named Jon Blatt didn't rip you off == EXTREME failure.

Maybe Tommy and Rob should get out of their back room office and quit relying on Rob's dad to keep their s--- afloat.

Nicole writes Luke: A ton of disgruntled Extreme paysite members started descending on the site calling Rob Black "a whining scared bitch", another guy said Rob Black acted tough over the phone with him and when push came to shove Rob Black hid "like a little bitch" and tried to hire goons but was "out-gooned". Still, a guy named Ichibod kept posting a link to the paysite for free (http://www.extremeassociates.com/Club_Extreme_Index.htm) which annoyed non-paying members cause this site is so crappy.

For the previous several hours, Extreme kept deleting the messages. Later the webmaster popped up claiming there were "technical difficulties" with the site. Then your article about what MoronsAtExtreme kept getting plastered all over the site. I guess those idiots at Extreme can't handle criticism. They try to block Freedom of speech because their paysite is the biggest rip-off you can imagine ($30 a month!). And Rob Black, who tries to act all tough and mean, is really a scared little bitch hiding behind the fact that his rip off site is run by idiotic buffoons (imagine a paysite that is not password protected with no updates ever). Rob Black is a f---ing imbecile. Why the f--- would he post his address and real name on the net (via the petition for mayor that he showed and recently blacked out?). What a f---ing idiot. This moron is hiding behind the fact that everything he does fails miserably.

Tori Welles Open Call

Mark writes: Luke, Can you ask your readers if any of them went to the open call by 80’s porn whore Tori Wells last week. If you remember she placed an ad in the LA Xpress newspaper last week. People were instructed to goto someplace on stagg st in the valley and pay a $20 fee to be in some movie. Just wondering what happened and if anyone showed up.

PND Reports Jenna's Signing With Vivid

From PornNewsDaily.com: Don't be surprised if Jenna becomes a Vivid girl, and becomes a host on all their networks. Word has it, deal could be sealed by this weekend. Plan could be, for Vivid to release all Clubjenna.com videos.

Jenna writes Luke: "Headlining again? Haha."

Luke says: "Congrats on the deal, sounds very exciting, is it better than what Wicked offered you?"

Jenna replies: Haven’t met with Wicked on that particular subject… Thursday is that meeting. I think Vivid is going to work out in everyones best interests. At least I know my footage won’t end up on jennavision!

FearZeus writes: Luke, did you hear that horrible sound coming out of California today? I heard it all the way from New York....it was Steve Orenstein throwing up in his toilet from his office at Wicked Pictures!

Luke Experiments With New Design

I've decided to try Matt Drudge's layout for my site. How do you like the change? Email Luke

Meni69: what did you do to your site? horrible
Meni69: wait and see visitor response. i don'twanna search for top news. Scroll down is nice,checking links aint.

Cindi writes: Luke- I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!. IT LOOKS AMATEURISH. Sorry to shout. Someone coming here for the first time will have no idea which link to click. Leave it the way it was.

Jeff writes: I have to agree with the others. The new layout is not user friendly. It makes it harder to catch up on the past few days. Matt Drudge's layout is probably the worst thing about his site, and should never be emulated. Keep up the good work!

Marc writes: you're not doing enough to emulate drudge ... you need a FULL front page where you can write creative tabloid-style links to stories about porn, sleaze, judaism and other matters that me and chaim are checking out anyway, so you don't hafta surf much yourself. and the hits will soar that-a-way.

FearZeus writes: Luke, who the f--- is Matt Drudge and how did he get into the "layout" business? I thought your site was shut down or something!! It took me three different times to visit your site, to realize that this is your new "layout"!! Do me a favor...."Layout" the person who talked you into this new design!! Thanks.

Quasarman writes: As if your site wasn't hard enough to look at it now you've gone and made it virtually impossible to navigate as well. I suggest you return your site to the way it was immediately with the exception of providing a hyperlink to stories about RJB Telecom, rambling judaic musings and anything else that all your viewers are forced to scroll through in a quest for entertainment.

Al Goldstein To Write For AVN

Don Barzini writes: What will Goldstein's first article for AVN be about? Perhaps he could choose 20 or 30 leading pornographers and assess how many lampshades Hitler could have made out of each of them.

Porno Eroticism

Jim Gunn writes on RAME: Well because filming a porn scene is a pretty formulaic excercise both for the performers as well as the crew filming it, no matter what type of production. No mattter how unique you think a given porn movie is, it still boils down to the mechanics of slightly choreographed f---ing for the cameras. Most porn sex scenes progress in a certain way because it's what the talent knows how to do, it's what the directors tell them to do and it's what the producers, and finally, what most of the of consumers expect in the finished product.

Remember these porn guys have to not only stay erect for as much as an hour at a time in the case of the males,and everyone must stand up or kneel or lay down in awkward positions for minutes at a time with a cameraman pracrtically on top of them or sometimes underneath them as they contort themselves in completely unnatural positions for the cameras. Building up a pounding rythym in a position that is semi-comfortable is a expedient way to get the necessary hardcore and softcore footage to make a decent scene.

Like I said, whether it's a piece of crap one-day-wonder by a terrible director or a shot on film masterpiece by an auteur, thhe sex scenes still boils down to the same semi-choregraphed f---ing for the cameras.

Pat Riley writes on RAME: Yes, if you want to see just how dis-engaged the performers are, rent a copy of Extreme Teen #12. At the end they show the outtakes or behind the scenes, or whatever you want to call it which are primarily the still photographer taking photos for the box. What happens it that the main scene that you've just watched was really suspended, say at the point the guy is inserting his dick in the girl's asshole, and they pose while the still guy takes a or several picture(s). Any erotic value of the main part (not much anyway) just went down the toilet.

You're explanation was at the same time sad and enlightening and should be obligatory reading for all posters on this group especially the SFB's who are wont to come out with "She really loved his dick up her asshole" or something similar. She didn't, doesn't, and won't.

Now you've put this in perspective perhaps you'd be willing to set out your plan to reform the industry so these contributions to unerotic porn are eliminated in the future, especially in the area of gonzo and particularly where the box and the persons concerned make much of "real sex" or similar?

Olivia's OD

Domonique Simone writes: I went out with Olivia last night and told her even passed out she still looked like a Diva and better than half of the girls at the show.

Hugh Jadique comments: Obviously, the important thing is not that Olivia survived, but that she looked good going down. As the song goes, "I wanna live fast, love hard, die young, and leave a beautiful memory." Priorities, baby!

Dr. Glasberg writes: Well Luke I guess I opened a can of worms! I honestly was just concerned how she was doing? (Olivia it turns out!) But everyone that writes to you seems to be full of sh..... I was there and wtinessed it all myself! Dominique did not come out until Jenna made the announcement and "Olivia" was stark naked on the floor behind a panel. I offered my services as a physican and saw miotic pupils that were impressive and she was pretty unresponsive. i.e. she was on a hell of alot more than what people are claiming! i just asked the question out of concern, so people don't need to make up BS just to cover up. As for the quote about "everyone being on drugs there", that is also BS. The person I was with went to the lady's restroom and even remarked how little drug use was going on. As someone not in the business, but an admirer since many of my patients are in the business, I think public perception of the industry would be much improved is there was more substance and less BS. i.e. Olivia's reponse makes everyone looking stupid!!

Zoe Update

Tabetha Yang writes: Everyone hates moving - everyone but Zoë - especially when the 'moving' is up in the industry! And yes, she is physically changing her residence as well, but that doesn't seem to stop this go getter of entertainment. In recent months she appeared on the Susan Block show where she blasted through the 'blockade' of an episode, leaving viewers with a stunning view of her new and improved pecks. "I'm really getting into this workout stuff...look out Billy Blanks here I come!" But there's no stopping there, with the constant building of material for her website www.xxxzoe.com, she recently shot with the ever talented Robbye Bently of Matrix Content. Matrix did an awesome job capturing Zoë in some of the best Glamour and erotic photos taken of her in years. Not to mention some brand new sexy hot hardcore pictures taken with industry stud Tyler Wood. "You have GOT to see these, my members will be drooling for a week - I'm talking about my FEMALE members, Tyler and I look yummy!" So what's next?? Another mainstream movie, music videos, catalogs, another possible contract, and her own personal brand name toy???

Luke Gets Mail

Thomas writes: I emailed tria devereaux. I asked her some questions, like what is her favorite moviestar, rock band, if she like thunderstorms. The response i recieved was that i was being to personal. My question to you is she was doing gang bans and d.p.'s on film for the whole world to see including friens and relatives. Me, asking innocent questions like favorite movie is out of line. Are these chicks greedy or what?

Michael writes: Luke, Thanks so much for your website. With great pleasure, I’ve spent at least a couple of hours browsing the site – what an incredible revelation it is to learn that so many of the porn stars are such deeply troubled persons (or at least so many seem to be that way). Being myself the sort of male who’s sex life is incredibly dull (think missionary position with the local librarian once ever six months, and you’ll get the picture) I’ve always tended to feel that I’ve somehow been missing out on certain pleasures that life has to offer (i.e. having wild and crazy sex with multiple female persons on a weekly – nay, daily basis). After having browsed your site, it’s at once evident that the fantasies I’ve had spinning in my head all these years regarding the porn business (or even regarding ‘swinging’, in general), are just that – fantasies. What have I been missing all of these years? – well, quite a lot, from the sounds of it, and rather lucky for me that I am so dull!

Kim writes about Tera Patrick: Luke, A little 4-1-1 for you. I can't vouch for her RN credentials, however I know that she was a Paramedic for a while. Now her breasts I can say, are real! She has been that size since her early years in high school. We were close friends so I know first hand.

Satanist Bob Johnson of Vivid writes: "Dear Luke: Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and...well, you know the rest of the song. Seems like you discovered who I really am. Sincerely, THE DEVIL"

Another British TV Documentary On Sex

Dear Luke, I am a colleague of Mike Livingstone, and he told me that your site was the place to post messages to make things happen. I am a producer for an independent British TV production company working on two documentaries about escorts and chatrooms on the internet, and I am having problems locating the makers of cybersex toys such as the f---youf---me devices and Safesexplus cyberdildonics. I was wondering if you, or anyone would have a contact number for these companies, as I would really like to feature this technology on the show. Also, if a top escort with her own website would like to be featured on the escorts show, then I would really like to speak to her about her business. Look forward to hearing from somebody out there, Thanks, Tom Thostrup Princess Productions (www.princess.uk.com) thomas@princess.uk.com

Jewish Fees

Gary writes: I always get a laugh out of the various ads in the Los Angeles Times during the Jewish holiday period announcing special fees for "allowing" Jews to join a particular Temple for the holidays. Now you tell us it costs $1,200 just to become a Jew!

A few months ago there was a notice in the Los Angeles Times promoting a special night at the Mormon Genealogical Library in West L.A. to research Jewish family histories. It was coordinated by a Jewish group that I don't remember, but I do remember the cost was $36. The Mormon Genealogical Libraries charge no fee to use their extensive facilities except for actual services provided, like 5 cents a page for copying material. So some Jewish organization was charging their fellow Jews $36 to use a Christian facility that they could have used on their own for free if they had just walked in the door.

Devoto writes: Luke, Myself and my flock owe you and your site a GREAT deal of thanks. For it was while reading your site that I had a vision. I was studying the advantages and disadvantages of Judaism. The HIGH level of moral living, the self-righteousness, the martyrdom, the circumsion, the entrance/conversion "fee" of $1,200 and I was STRUCK with an epiphany!! The good Lord informed me that Jews do not have a monopoly on morality. Armed with this information, I decided to open my NEW "church". My church will inform you of the moral code, provide you with a sense of belonging through our community and make you feel SUPERIOR (simply by TELLING you that you are). ALL of this can be yours for the LOW, LOW price of $19.95!! If you act NOW, I will throw in a set of Ginsu knives for FREE (GREAT for slicing your BLT sandwich--YES, thats right folks, WE ALLOW THE CONSUMPTION OF BACON!). Make your check or money order out to The Church of The Divine Profit Motive. ****Genital mutilation is optional!

Devoto writes: Luke, CONGRATULATIONS and Thank You, once again. Your site is the ONLY site on the internet where I can read a White Supremacist complain of "brainwashing and propaganda" while also reading a Jewish self-proclaimed "supporter" of the ACLU spout slurs and bigotry to an INSIGHTFUL and INTELLIGENT Canadian. What is next?? A porn-star complaining about men who masturbate??

Geek Gossip

I've drawn out these comments from various participants at the IA2000 show in Las Vegas in early January.

My sources say: I heard the FTC was there. I heard a lot of paranoia about the FTC from net porners.

I talked to Greg Picconelli, the Bottos (RJB Telcom) attorney. What a rabid little pitbull he is. I didn't like him right off the bat.

Picconelli's trying to barter his services as a prophylactic to stay out of trouble with the FTC.

RJB Telcom still holds that they did nothing wrong. And they cite that they got out of it in a month as proof they did nothing wrong. But this is costing them millions of dollars. I guess they're scrubbing their affiliates websites now to make sure everything is kosher.

Cybererotica.com's Ron Levi is a charming man. He's undoubtedly the big cheese, the big kahuna, the man. But boy can he lose his temper and speak disrespectfully to you. When he gets frustrated, he blows up. He can be brutal. You can't get paid enough to listen to him roast you.

Ron's been burned many times. He's bought people houses and given them great deals and then they screw him over. People talk to him about business and he gives them trade secrets, then they use them and don't compensate him for them.

Ron's heavy handed and insists on doing things his way.

I can't count how many people at the convention told me that they thought that Cybererotica was next. RJB Telcom was busted by the FTC. AOL sued CEN. IGallery lost big in court. Ron Levi's operation is the only one unscathed.

Ron's so technical. I've never seen anybody in all my life as hands on as Ron. He knows every aspect of the business.

Ron's new girlfriend is 37. She works in his accounting department. Levi's fond of saying that she runs his business. And that she put together all their parties and their entire CE presence at the show.

Levi's sick of the Sex.com people jerking him around. He wants them to make the decision to turn the site over to him so he can milk it to the max.

It's amazing how these guys all badmouth each other. But I haven't found anybody more disliked than Yishai Habari. Nobody likes him.

Yishai has the social skills of a slug. He's not good at dealing with people. He's an arrogant rough Israeli.

Yishai held a party for about 50 people. Lots of lawyers and Videosecrets.com people including Greg Clayman.

People are hated in this industry for different reasons. I'm hated for gossiping. Stephen Cohen's hated for stealing Sex.com, for trying to intimidate and threaten people out of using "Sex" in their domain names, as well as not paying people. Yishai's hated for bringing the FTC into the industry through his promotion of the Crescent Publishing Scam.

Crescent is horrible to deal with all round. From their execs to their lawyers. Bad people.

The FTC monitors your site constantly for information.

It's interesting how short these net porners are. Ron Levi, Richard and Robert Botto, Yishai, Andy Edmond, Johnathan Silverstein, the Blatt brothers, Brian Shuster, Seth Warshavsky, Steve Hirsch, David Sturman, etc are all short. David Van Der Pool with Python is an exception.

It's amazing how many major players, like RJB Telcom, operate under consent decrees. And they act like it is a clean slate. Like they have the stamp of government approval. That they have something valuable. That it shows they're clean. It's ludicrous.

Net porners call the models "product." When we want to be polite, we call them "talent." Behind their back, we call them "product." The porn industry is inherently corrupting.

Porn is just like drugs, with a ready made market. Porn seems to be run like drug cartels. But instead of drugs, it is traffic. Clicks.

I met AVN publisher Paul Fishbein and I was not impressed. He just looked like a submissive little bitch. That was my instant take on him - that he was a very passive aggressive person.

Gary Kremen's operation tried hard to tell Gene Ross their side of the story but Gene did not return their calls. Gene kept broadcasting Cohen's baloney and never returned the calls from Kremen's side.

Meni writes Luke: Geek Gossip? if thats not the pot calling the kettle black You couldn't get laid in a woman's prison with a fistfull of pardons hee hee

Nicole London Addresses Interracial Concerns

Retired porn star Nicole London writes: Luke; I often read your site. Retired as a performer but still working actively behind the camera I am appalled by the recent concern on interracial production. Why must we take a step back, next we'll be meeting in parking lots again and not disclosing out shooting location to performers. Are we so concerned with the political climate that we as an industry which fights so hard for freedom of speech will let them once again dictate to us what we are allowed to film. We have just entered a new century and of course new political views but are we going to allow what so many people fought for years ago be swept aside and dismantled. As an industry we are already segregated from the rest of civilization are we going to promote segregation amongst ourselves (I thought that segregation was abolished in the early 60's). I for one would be more concerned with fisting, triple anal, and foreign objects then wheather or not Mr. Marcus is performing with a Caucasian performer. I would hope that the industry would not let ourselves fall victim to this ignorance.

Who Wasn't On Drugs At The AVN Expo?

Porn star Domonique Simone writes: Hello, Luke I read your article about Olivia,First of all who wasn't on drugs at the show.Olivia is my best friend and she had a couple of caps of G.Olivia is only 100 pds and it affected her differently.I was paged because no one would tell what she was on .I told the Paramedics what was in her system and basically saved her life .No one else wanted to be involved.I went to notify our table that she was not feeling well and then I was paged because she was calling my name.I went by her side and basically I did the right thing.So what she had a lil too much g.Every girl in the bathroom was so messed up the bathroom was basically drug heaven.Why pick on Olivia.If we tested every one of the talent I bet 90 percent would have come back dirty.What could I do I told the paramedics what they needed to know and maybe I could've gone to the hospital with my 7 inch heels on and my 1250 cc breasts.I just did not feel as if it was a good idea.

After the incident I was speaking with a rep from a record lable and I leftI was not at any parties I was watching Per View.So who saw me out.Please tell me .I didn,t care about the parties.I had more important like $$$$ things on my mind and getting her safely homeI did realize how shallow the people in the industry can be.I,m no angel and 90 percent of the people were so messed up I felt like I was in the twilight zone.So what,s the big deal.Next time I'll make sure she does one capful instead of 4.I had no clue she had even done that.To all you G lovers 1 capful is enough.I went out with Olivia last night and told her even passed out she still looked like a Diva and better than half of the girls at the show.We love all our fans and will continue being hot and nasty as you wanna be.

Heather Barron writes: re: that article by dominique on her friend's supposed drug situation at the convention, I am really am out of the loop...what the heck is G anyway? OK I've heard of LSD, Heroin, Cocaine, Crack, Ecstacy, Valium, Tylenol (with codeine), Meth, Amphetamines, Nicotene and Caffeine ...but please inform a drugvirgin (ok 5 cups of coffee a day confessed) but what the heck is G? The only thing relevant to the industry that starts with G is Gonorrhea ( I even had to look up the spelling on AOLhealth....and did you know or give a flying f--- that goosebumps is a medical condition??!!) and I don't think they were taking dosages of that G! Now I know that if I'm in the hood, my homies might call me G and that I might get looking to get a roll on with Gmoney. s---, I figured it out...does that G mean that her girlfriend got it on in the Venetian bathroom with Al Gelbard? Well in that case....she better be looking for a G to pay G's bill since Gelbard doesn't do pussyretainerwork...same 'ol G, Heather.

How Come Nobody's Talking About The Drug Overdose Of Domonique Simone's Friend Olivia?

Scott writes: How come no one is talking about Dominique Simone's Friends apparent OD in hallway and restroom at Ventian (AVN Awards), witnessed it myself! Friend was fully undressed and resuscitated in hallway. As a MD, i offered my services, but was reneged by EMS personnel. Dominique appeared upset at first, but then just went on partying ( was even at the WB party right after.) Do you know how she made out? Looked ok just prior to being taken away. If you recall, Jenna Jameson even interrupted the show with the announcement!

Ray replies: Domonique's friend that OD'd at CES was porn star Olivia. I was hanging with Dom after the awards show and she told me that Olivia took too much GHB, Valium, and alcohol. She was taken to a hospital (almost in a coma state) in Vegas and her boyfriend picked her up sometime after midnite when she was released. Dom was very upset the entire evening but we still went to a few lame parties just to get her mind off of the events of the day. I was just wondering if u have heard what's up with Alicia Rio? I've heard too many rumors that she is XXXX. She pretty much disappeared from doing movies, feature dancing, personal appearances,escorting......and her web site hasn't been updated since September. Maybe u can ask the Flashman cause Carmen will not return any of my phone calls. Thanks!

Olivia responds: "You are absolutly correct! I overdosed on the whole industry and what it stands for!(How Porno!!!)But after a truly amazing "out of body" experience,and seeing "the light",I was once again convinced that my work here on Earth was not finished,So here I am, continuing my quest to keep people wondering what I'll do next.Until then......I am still "Porno Crazy"."

Howling Ric writes: "Luke, I was the one that got oliva out of the award show. I carried her a placed her behind the black curtian, and got the medic's also was the one who brought dominique to oliva. all the time oliva was dressed. the only one besides myself was dominique & oliva 's boyfriend. then some noisy black man that spoke a ton of crap saw this. anybody else saying they witnessed any of this is full of crap. oliva was released later from the hospital and all is well."

Ray writes: Hi Luke - I'm a bit confused by Olivia's reply on what happened the nite of the awards show. Is she sarcastically denying that it happened??? While I did not witness any of it, when I went up to Olivia and Domonique's room at the Mandelay Bay for Dom to change for a party we were going to attend at the Venetian, Dom and Olivia's boyfriend told me the whole story of how she OD'd.

Hi Luke - I was with Dom from the time the awards show let out around 11:00pm until about 3:00am. Like I said, we hired a limo, went back to her & Olivia's room at the Mandaley Bay, and then went back to the Venetian for some parties (I sure don't remember watching any Pay Per Views that nite - maybe she did after I left her at the Venetian).

Remembering Kira Eggers

I did an interview with Danish radio personality Rasmus Poulsen Sunday morning about Danish stripper Kira Eggers. Listen here to my conversation with Rasmus.

Humble writes: "Dear Mr. Poulsen: That whole episode was a terrible mistake. I was an absolute jerk to Ms. Eggers and have apologized for my unkind comments. The story in short was this: someone anonymously sent Luke F-rd some of Ms. Eggers stolen photographs, Mr. Ford published them, Ms. Eggers fired off a very angry letter to Mr. Ford, and I was stunned at her harsh reaction to an innocent mistake and subsequently wrote a horribly mean response. Later I emailed Ms. Eggers directly to tell her that she had overreacted on l-keford.com and I came to find her very charming and intelligent and even struck up a friendly correspondence with her. I have even published letters to Ms. Eggers on Jubii's message board. If your journalistic intent is to have me ridicule Ms. Eggers you can forget it. I consider her a friend and would never do it. She's a terrific person."

Rasmus writes Humble: "Yes Kira is very nice. I just talked to her on the phone. So far she doesn't want to be a part of my story. She did not object to me doing the story though. Just said that she didn't want any part of it, because she disagrees so much with Luke's way of doing his thing. But she said that she would think about it and drop me a mail if she wants to speak her mind on the radio. I told her what I wanted to do with you and she didn't comment on that."

Perfectly Luke

Lynne writes: It was nice to come back from my weekend away to see all your hard work, princess. You make the rest of us look lazy. I wonder who it was who labeled you that so long ago that you now apply the term to yourself without question -- could it be that, as a child, you were criticized for not interesting yourself in "approved" topics? And that rather than your parents being honest with you and telling you that only those interests of which they approved were acceptable to them, they called you "lazy" for pursuing your own? Psychopathology breeds psychopathology, dear, and I look beyond you to the obvious sources of explanation for your behavior.

On that same note, I spent a hundred miles or so of my return trip last night ruminating over the concept of love, particularly the biblical concept of "unconditional love," which we discussed frequently when we first met two years ago. My husband's terminal illness taught me a great deal about loving someone who could no longer meet any of the usual expectations within a relationship -- as he became increasingly helpless, the only way I could care for the both of us was to have no expectations, but to love him as best I could, asking nothing, giving of myself in total devotion. He had earned my love throughout the course of the relationship and now that he was physically and emotionally helpless, he depended on me for care, and sustenance, and his most basic physical needs.

Because we had discussed many times over the preceeding months, you knew that by love, I meant unconditional love, as defined in the New Testament (which you know only too well). In your acceptance of Judaism you may disavow that part of the Bible, but as an atheist, I feel free to pick and choose those philosophies that work for me. When, after many months of friendship, I first told you that I loved you, Luke, you knew what I meant by the word, and that it was not a love I could "take back" because your behavior would be less than perfect. You knew that my definition of love encompassed all things, including imperfections, errors and delusional mistakes -- even you, dear.

Others may find you astoundingly imperfect, Luke, but I do not -- I find you perfectly Luke, and that is all I ask of you. Be Luke F-rd...to the fullest, dear. I can no more withdraw my love for you than the sun can rise in the west and set in the east, and because of this, I did not tell you that I loved you casually. In all the hours of my conversations with XXX, I never told him I loved him....rightfully so, because his behavior never earned that commitment.

People wonder why I continue to love you when you don't show me any of the typical "signs of love" demanded by our culture, but they define love differently than I do -- I love you because, once having begun to love you, I don't have the option of not doing so. There's no way you can undo it. I can only forgive you and keep loving you, and want the best for you. Your achievements bring me joy. Your imperfections bring my forgiveness. Your very existence brings me pleasure. Your work continues to astound me. Your beauty is unparalleled. Your friendship is a treasure. Thank you, Luke, for choosing to be in my life.

Devoto: Excuse me, arent you that Jewish porn star??
Devoto: Didnt you star in Foreskin Hump??
Luzdedos1: thas me
Devoto: Thought so, you know you are gonna attract all sorts of FREAKS like me if you publish your name on your site!! Luzdedos1: lol Luzdedos1: so what do you do for a living?
Devoto: Right now I am pursuing my HIGHER ecucation, philosophy major and political science major
Devoto: THEN, it is off to law school to learn how to defend RIGHTS for people like you!!
Devoto: You know, I have some ideas on how to promote your site
Devoto: FIRST, you accept contributions to pay for the time of a black porn-star, and hook her up with the white supremacist, you kow, to improve race relations
Devoto: THEN you could run a matchmaking service for the FREAKS of the world ( I get "dibs" on "Jane") and perhaps find yourself a jewess. It is part of Jewish tradition to have matchmakers, I learned that from Fiddler On The Roof
Devoto: THEN, perhaps you could have a JEW-DRIVE and do mass conversions, and have a Rabbi on hand to perform circumsions and serve pastrami on rye. I can picture it now-little yarmulkas with LF.COM on them!!
Devoto: Lastly, I was thinking of the PORN OLYMPICS!! Havent got the details sussed out yet, BUT, there would be lots of SEX and taht ALWAYS draws a crowd.

Devoto: SO, you can have ALL the copyrights to those ideas and use them well my son!! You have a message to carry and I only wish for you to be able to do that to the fullest of your abilities!
Luzdedos1: terrific, so you don't hate me for possessing "Jane's" affections?
Devoto: I hear you have your hands full courting another
Devoto: BESIDES, a WISE man once told me (on his web site) that ANY woman who would have YOU isnt worth having-OR something to that effect
Devoto: I hope I did not misquote you on the above!
Devoto: Understand that I am, by design, a jealous man, HOWEVER, she eased my mind and SWEARS that there is no AFFECTION there. BUT, if you "know" differently, PLEASE inform me before I waste some of my hard earned money on a trip to Canada!!
Devoto: <---POOR college student
Devoto: SO, no confirmation or denial on the "Jane" issue?? Is that an official NO-COMMENT?
Luzdedos1: Nothing's going on between Jane and I
Devoto: I would not blame her if something WAS going on, because, after all, you are one of GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE!! I dated a Jew once! She was DAMN sexy, but, alas, she was also CRAZY.
Devoto: I am not a psychologist, but anyone into self mutilation CANT be too healthy emotionally.
Devoto: I feel like an anti-semite when corresponding with you at times, simply because it is SO JEW-FOCUSED. I just think that ANY religion based in FEAR (like MOST religions) are going about it the wrong way.
Luzdedos1: do you think police and courts should do away with fear too?
Devoto: YES, I am of the school of thought that the role of the penal system is to REHABILITATE, not punish.
Luzdedos1: have you ever schtupped a black girl?
Devoto: Prostitution exasperates the penal system, should it be legalized?
Devoto: Not a black girl, no, BUT I did schtup a Pakistani once, is that close enough?
Devoto: My LOVE is color blind!!
Devoto: WOW, did you update your site?? CLASSY Luke!!
Devoto: How about you, prior to your ENLIGHTENMENT did you ever schtup a negress?
Luzdedos1: i've schtupped a few, and would still do so
Devoto: I am reading your site, and you should tell meni69 that they should NEVER mention the words "prison" and "fist" in the same sentence. BAD MEMORIES!


Devoto: A few days ago, you posed the question HOW DO WE EROTICIZE GOODNESS? I was wondering what your thoughts on that topic were?
Devoto: For me, I think the TERM erotic infers something "forbidden". Therefore, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to eroticize goodness.
Luzdedos1: I agree
Devoto: To expand, I believe that our culture for so long has made sex out to be BAD and as something done behind closed doors. One need only look at the "approved" hem length for a skirt 50 years ago. BUT, the LOOSER society has become with it's attitude towards sex, the FARTHER folks seem willing to go with it.
Devoto: No longer is AROUSING to see the panties of June Cleaver, we need to see her with chopsticks in her every orifice.
Devoto: Do not misunderstand me, I am not a PRUDE, nor am I conservative in the bedroom (or on the kitchen counter, or on the washing machine, or on the trampoline, or in the hot-tub, or in the public library) BUT, I prefer my eating utensils ON the table not IN my partner.
Devoto: I m not conservative in the voting booth either!
Devoto: BELIEVE me, I have given a new meaning to the term DANGLING CHAD!!
Devoto: SO, what does a porn journalist do all day?? Watch porn? If you watch porn all day, you MUST be well endowed from pulling it all the time!
Devoto: Although, I imagine that it would lose it's ZEST, and you would be forced to fantasize about couples holding hands or fully clothed women to become aroused.
Devoto: As an insider in the sex industry, I have a question for you-How long do you think it will be before masturbation is recognized as a SPORT?
