I hear that Brooke Ashley has yet to sign with the Brentwood law firm Jacobs, Jacobs… she's talked about. They say they do not yet represent her.
I called Kevin Beech, the company that distributes her gangbang videos, this morning. The secretary asked what my call was regarding. I said, "Brooke Ashley and her gang bang." The secretary replied, "you know that we bought that from someone else." KBeech seem eager to distance themselves from the disastrous event.
Kevin Beech told Luke F-rd over the phone on Thursday afternoon, 7/23/98:
"Dan Beck ripped us off. Brooke says she did not get paid. She was supposed to have earned $7500 for the gangbang and $2500 for promoting the video. She says she did not get the $2500. That's supposed to be in her contract with Beck. It wasn't my shoot. I don't know…
"Dan Beck ripped us off. I tracked him down in New York. He tells me that because she did not do the promotion for the videos, she does not get the $2500. I don't know.
"Over a month ago, Brooke was crying about this to me. I said I would try to do anything I could. Now I find out that she's been badmouthing Midnight Video and us, as though we ripped her off. I called her up [a month ago]. She couldn't have apologized more. 'I'm so sorry. I talked to Mark Snyder at Sin City. Everybody says good things about you and it wasn't you.' I said, 'I already told you all that. We didn't shoot the movie, Dan Beck did. It isn't even our type of movie to put out.'
"To be honest, I don't know why I bought it. I didn't even watch it before I bought it [$35,000]. It's a piece of s---. It's terrible. We've sold about 3500 copies of The World's Biggest Anal Gangbang and about 1500 copies each of Fluffer Whores 1 & 2.
"We only made a deal for the gangbang after they finished shooting it [mid February, 1998]. They wanted $40,000. I blew them off. See, Cash Markman shoots our movies. Cash tells us it was good. Cash bought Dan Beck in here and we bought it off him for $35,000 and cut three movies out of it.
"Cash mainly shoots for Playboy. Our Erotic Angel line is mainly for Playboy. Midnight Video is harder core. Then we have Dreamland Video. Kbeech Video Inc is our distribution company. I have a telemarketer who sells to all the video stores direct.
"The market's so flooded today it's hard to sell anything. I just got off the phone with Steve Hirsch at Vivid. They're begging us to do business with them. All these new companies are hurting everyone. We won't buy from no knew companies.
"The gangbang was produced by HCTV. We thought Dan Beck owned HCTV. Dan Beck came in here and told us that his grandmother was dying. This guy was good. We had one last movie we were buying off him, The Mating Game 2. 'Could you pay me the ten grand right now?' I said, 'we don't have that type of money to pay you right now.'
"Dan: 'Give me something.' So I give him five grand. He goes into my office and tells my girl and my General Manager to make the check out to him. We didn't think nothing. We usually wrote the checks to HCTV.
"This Robert DuPree phones. 'You guys wrote a f---ing check to Dan Beck when it was supposed to be HCTV…' He tells me the whole story. He seems like the nicest guy on the phone. I don't like people getting ripped off. Come on down. I'll get Dan here at the same time.
"I thought I was Judge Wopner. I had them both sitting in front of me. He's crying this story. He's crying that story. They're both going back and forth. Then Ron Jeremy and five grand worth of people who didn't get paid, call us… We paid Ron. He couldn't thank me enough for the measly $400 [for editing work]. So we paid every body that didn't get nothing.
"Robert DuPree is out $25,000 to Dan Beck… Dan just worked for Robert. He'd take checks. Robert would tell him to write a check out to somebody and Dan would write it out to himself. Now Dan's selling sail boats in New York.
"I made these Johnathan Morgan dating game movies… Dan Beck took my movies, chopped them up, and sold them to Michael Esposito. We just caught Michael at it.
"We sent some guys to kick Dan Beck's ass. He called the f---ing police, the Hollywood organized crime unit on me. Attempted murder. But they can't prove nothing. The organized crime unit said that if anything happened to Dan, they'd come after me… But they can't prove nothing.
"I only have two contract girls right now. We took back Farrah, who has drug problems. She was my girlfriend two years ago but I haven't f---ed her in two years… We're trying to get her straightened out…
"Chuck Martino is a good friend of mine. He's off the drugs and has gone straight. He's got a cute little girlfriend Shay Sweet. He looks great.
"Everything's fine with me [since Kevin's car accident a few months ago] except for my left arm. I have no range of motion so my fighting days are over. I used to box, wrestle, and street fight for money all the time. I've been in adult for 16 years.
"Who knows who infected her. I've said this before. If there was anybody in this biz who I thought would've got AIDS, it would've been her. It's not that I don't like her. I don't even know her that good. The chick hooked on the side all the time. The LAWEEKLY called me, and this guy is up on porn, and he had never even heard of her before. And I said, 'that's because she's a B actress.' Nobody used her for any main movies. All she did is the raunchy s---.
"I feel sorry for the girl. Even though I shouldn't. It's got nothing to do with me. We called her up [a month ago]. We told her that for every movie Legend sells [of the gangbang], we'll give you a buck for every movie. Just to help you out. So I'm surprised that she's badmouthing me again."
I talked with John Decker, the husband of Elegant Angel contract girl Roxanne Hall. John says that the stories circulating about Hall's false positive HIV test are nonsense. Luke heard the reports at Star World and Reb Sawitz's Pretty Girl International. I think that these places heard them from performer Dave Hardman.
Luke believes John Decker that these stories are nonsense. Luke retracts. Luke apologizes to John Decker and Roxanne Hall, and all his readers for presenting wrong information.
A couple of weeks ago, I heard from a source in England the following: "...The UK now seems to be producing quite a lot of stuff now, mostly via Kirstyn Halborg's Kool Klass modeling agency.
"Kool Klass started as an agency for nude modelling and expanded from there. Now they seem to have become a one-stop shop for hardcore shoots in England. Rocco Siffredi has often worked with their girls and with Kirstyn herself. Kirstyn, although a very busty blonde, is not your typical starlet, being rather, shall we say, "sturdier" than most X girls, but attractive nonetheless(IMHO).
"I have spoken to Kirstyn on one occasion and found her to be enthusiastic and articulate. Sadly, due to the UK's absurdly draconian laws on obscenity, Kool Klass have to play their cards very close to their chests. Kirstyn comes from a devoutly religious (Jehovah's Witness) background in Wales and yet was doing hardcore shortly after moving to London at 19."
While driving down Melrose Avenue Tuesday afternoon (7/21) with Ed Powers, I spoke on the phone to one of Kirstyn's new girls, the naturally 34E 5'2" Manchester girl Tigra aka Hannah who flew into LA Monday night. She stays with Regan Senter through August 11th. She worked Wednesday with Rodney Moore.
She sleeps in the guest room at Regan's apartment and says she does not have sex with Regan. Kirstyn and Regan apparently have a deal whereby he represents her girls in America and they can stay at his place without boinking him. "He doesn't mess with English girls."
Tigra talked to Luke over the phone Thursday afternoon, 7/23/98. In the industry since March, she's appeared in about 20 videos.
"I do glamor modeling [nude modeling] in England. I met Kirstyn's boyfriend, a big black guy with a 12" dick named Omar."
Tigra had a bad experience with Rocco Siffredi, who apparently no longer performs on camera. He still produces. There have been numerous rumors that Rocco is HIV positive.
"Because the girls in Budapest do anything, because they need money… English girls are more reserved. I didn't perform with Rocco. I worked with Roberto who had the biggest cock I've ever seen.
"Rocco didn't tell me what he wanted. I'm new to this business. I've never done water sports [urination]. Rocco told Kirstyn it was just a basic threesome with a girl called Kelly, myself and Roberto. It became violent. I didn't enjoy it. They didn't get my best performance, which upset me.
"Rocco said, 'let's do the cum shot.' So we opened our mouths, and the guy [Roberto] pissed in our mouths. I threw up. I cried. He [Rocco] was vicious. The next day, another British girl did it with him and the same thing happened. So he packed his bags and went back to Budapest.
"Roberto's cock was the fattest motherf---er ever. I couldn't even get my hands around it. While I was giving him a blowjob, he was holding on to my nose, wanting me to be sick [vomit] all over it. It's not my scene. I freaked.
"Then Rocco went mental on Kirstyn. 'This girl is crazy, crazy.' At the end of the day Rocco said that I should not have been cast for that scene…
"I've never done watersports. I wouldn't even let my boyfriend piss in my mouth, let alone a complete stranger. Kelly is his normal actress. She'd do anything for him. She'd s---, she'd piss…everything, get sick [vomit]… He'd piss in her mouth and she'd eat it. She was licking up all this piss off the table. I don't like that s---.
"Kirstyn says that Rocco seems to have lost it [gone mad]… I think he's been in Budapest too long. He seems to have gone really wacky. Kirstyn has worked with him loads of times in the past and he's never been like that. She's never known a scene to be so violent.
"In England, he didn't do any acting at all. He was just the cameraman… Perhaps the HIV rumors about him are true.
"British women are used to being treated like ladies. We're not like the girls in Budapest. I won't tolerate someone pissing and s---ting and constantly f---ing my ass for six hours nonstop. Then they moan about paying us. They only paid me $400… The anal was very hard because this guy's dick was so wide and long. His dick was like a baked bean tin. f---ing huge.
"They had me do reverse cowgirl anal. The anal scene went on and on. Longest of my life. They must've got two hours of oral and two hours of anal, and a bit of pussy f---ing. Then he wanted pissing scene. He wanted this and he wanted that.
"Rocco moaned to me, 'you must look like you enjoy it.' And I said, 'Rocco, I don't enjoy this… It's not my scene.'
"I hear that Kirstyn wanted him out. Him and Kirstyn had lots of problems and she wanted him out of the country.
"I think Kirstyn is brilliant. She's having a baby. Omar's a well known English [porn] actor even though the industry is not legal there. Omar is known in Europe.
"She's been doing her agency for a year. She's successful. She mainly works with European producers as well as Max Bellochio, Dick Nasty, Michael Shy, Roy Bruington…
"I worked with Maria De Sanchez in Malaga Spain for a big movie [Pandemonium X for Film Internationl Company - big Spanish distributors] that will go to the awards in Barcelona in October. It was brilliant, the best thing I've done in my life. With Francesca Malcom, Joanne (English girl)…
"Maria is a well known Spanish actress. She's worked with Rocco many times. She's a celebrity in Spain. Everywhere she goes, people know her. Such a lovely person.
"People keep casting me for lesbian scenes.
"I've got a big black Jamaican boyfriend at home… He knows everything I do. He often accompanies me on shoots. I find that lots of black guys in England don't talk much about sex. You don't hear about black guys wanking off [masturbating]. He had never seen a porn video. He watches all my stuff now. He gets a buzz knowing that men have to pay me [for sex].
"That's part of the reason that I have a good relationship with Kirstyn. I am one of the only girlfriends who has an understanding boyfriend. Many of the English girls are married. They tell their husbands that they are table top dancers, nude dancers, and that is why they have to go to London [to shoot porno].
"I work in London two or three times a week, doing the cable channel…
"The American industry seems more professional. We have lots of English producers (who shoot both soft and hard), most of whom are not known. The Americans are more careful with their HIV testing. We don't have DNA testing in England.
"America takes porn more seriously. They make their productions like Hollywood. It's more glamorous. Bigger than life. European porn is more sleazy and seedy. Though in Spain, you were treated like a scholar. I did a live sex show in front of 4000 people. I signed autographs. People were going crazy…"Oh Hannah Joanna."
"I work as a presenter for Channel X [cable TV softcore] in England. I don't have an attitude. I like what I do.
"Mom and dad don't know about my porn work. Porn in England is not a polite subject. It's associated with drugs and prostitution… They have the wrong idea. My parents know I do glamor modeling and that is not a problem.
"I got sacked [fired] from my proper job because of what I'm doing [porno?]. I'm trained as a photographer and I work for a digital imaging laboratory. I was a rep for the company. And I was on the cable channel doing a strip tease. And I got instantly sacked. Everybody was nasty.
"It became a big deal. The cable channel wants to sue them because it's [strip tease] is not a sackable offense. I was in all the English national papers. They put in there "big porn star…"
"My washing machine blew up and the fire brigade had to come out. They all recognized me and I had to sign photographs.
"I've lost a few friends through it. My best friend was a sex maniac, doing one-night stands every night. I thought she'd be right with it [porno]. When I told her, she was so distant with me. She said, 'I thought you had better standards than that…'"
"And then people that I thought would disaprove, think it's great… Such as with my boyfriend. When I shoot with someone, I have to tell him what I've done. When the guy came, how I felt… He's such a perv.
"I wouldn't want my boyfriend in the industry.
5:30 PM: Regan Senter reports that John Bone has made good on his bounced checks. Also, veteran photographer Johnny Castano remains on the warpath against Regan for his policy of sleeping with the talent.
A MOMENT OF TRUTH IN PORN VALLEY
By DK Stanton
7/24/98
They were in the same place, apparently for the same reason; yet the only visible common denominator was the couch supporting the seat of their collective pants. One was alert, as though expecting his call from life. The other had obviously succumbed to the languor of the day.
"It’s a good role, " he said, sinking what seemed impossibly deeper into the comfortable cushions. "Something I can really put myself into."
Irreverence momentarily superseded decorum. "Aren’t they all?" I asked.
He regarded me quizzically. The other man adjusted his exemplary carriage and grinned. I shrugged my shoulders and sighed at the data base destined to be the nemesis of my day.
"Are you a good actor?" The voice was deep and pleasant. Its owner proud and tall.
"I’m a great actor," he said.
The director just nodded and left.
I wondered for a moment if it might be true. The enthusiasm in his voice told me he was wondering the same thing. I continued to plod through the repetition of my work, reflecting back on our recent introduction.
"Any woman who doesn’t want to f--- me is either lying or a dyke," he’d said.
"You really think so?" I responded sincerely. Skeins of unwashed hair grazed the crest of a mountainous chip that had obviously claimed squatter’s rights to his left shoulder. "I suppose there could be some latent tendencies," I added. There have been times I've pondered that possibility. This wasn't one of them.
"A woman should be grateful that I would f--- her."
"What a thing to say," I responded, coyly exposing the tiniest peek at my nonplus.
"I just know I’m good," he said. "I have a lot of self-esteem."
His lifeless eyes told me that was a lie.
He had resumed talking about the role. Maybe he'd never really stopped. He talked about how bad he would be; expounded on the lifelong benefits of having portrayed a murderer. Challenging, demanding, intriguing—the hum of buzzing participles was (if you'll forgive me) deafening.
The other man turned a page of the notebook poised across his lap. He cleared his throat and raised his head. I paused in my work, astounded as the spinal column broke the posture barrier before my very eyes.
"Who cares about acting," he said quietly. "I just want to f---."
The actor hoisted himself from the self-designed burrow of cheap velour; and with a snort of disdain and a shake of his tousled head, shuffled toward the open door.
"Little -- less -- nothing! -- and that ended it.
"No more to build on there. And since they
"Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs."
