Saturday night I talked to Earl Slate and Jasmine St. Clair by phone. Jasmine and her ex-manager Charley Frey, among others, seem to believe that I'm boning John Bone's contract girl Kendra Jade. Not true.
In his October newsletter, John Bone wrote about Jasmine: "Does anybody have any information on Miss St. Psycho's arrest in Michigan last year for passing fake prescriptions? According to the manager of the Déjà Vu Club where she was dancing it was all over the local TV and Newspapers."
Jasmine says she has no arrest record in the United States. "I was arrested at the Whiskey A Go Go in Toronto, Canada with my roadie for selling my movies, which is illegal. Previously I'd sold movies in Canada with no problem. I was released in two hours."
St. Clair says she's happy to be with Extreme Associates and that her new Jane Waters nine-scene video The Pornographer "is better than anything John T. Bone has shot. We'll soon finish Acid Sex."
Jasmine appears in her boyfriend Earl Slate's video Captain Asshole Presents Jasmine's Anal and DP Adventures. Earl is also working for Extreme and he may produce a series for them. "For being only 36 years of age, he has much better ideas than someone old and washed up [is Jasmine referring to Bone?]. I think Earl will become the next Gregory Dark or Paul Thomas. I should've never listened to all the bulls--- John [Bone] told me about him.
"It was my birthday yesterday. Earl bought me the prettiest watch and took me to Santa Barbara."
Two weeks ago Charley Frey told me that Jasmine had tested positive for Hepatitis B but he now withdraws the charge. Jasmine says: "A long time ago Shyla Foxxx had it and someone at Metro confused me for her, because we both worked there at the time. The only thing I've ever had in this business is a Urinary Tract Infection.
"I've had thyroid problems since I was a child. A couple of years ago, coming off birth control pills, I put on weight. Then I tooked Phen Phen [a diet drug now off the market] for a while but I stopped that."
Jasmine says that Kendra Jade's Deja Vu dance tour was cancelled because of lack of interest.
On Sunday, Jasmine told me that Charley Frey and her have patched things up and he will return to managing her stripping career.
On Monday, Frey told me that he had patched things up with John Bone. He writes to me:
I work hard for my clients - really. Lots of people "SAY" they know what their doing....but after a while, the truth comes out and nothing happens.
Jasmin had to find out for herself that all these so-called "agents" can barely arrange bookings, let alone expand a acts career and notoriety. How many Jasmin's are there compared to how many girls are doing movies, etc...? If you look at the facts, you find that 98% of the girls don't get any real national recognition. Maybe after years and hundreds of movies, guys start to know who they are, but even then, there are plenty of pretty girls who have done hundreds of scenes - and no-one knows them.
It is a science to "create a star". I have done it several times. Remember Tiffany Lords of John Wayne Bobbitt fame? Why was Tiffany a big star; but not the other girls who did the movie? She was in the last scene in the movie; and most people never even watched that movie all the way thru; they just wanted to see Bobbitt's dick. Tiffany got paid significantly more money on the feature circuit than any of the other girls who were in the movie. I created her. I found Janine Lindemulder and packaged her contract with Steven Hirsh at VIVID. And many more.
Now, with regards to John T.Bone; obviously, we do not work together anymore; but, he is doing the right thing and repaying my investment. I wish him the best of luck."
MTV's Tabitha Soren spoke to the 10/7/98 Dallas Morning News shortly before her documentary on the porn industry was pulled.
"The biggest consumer of porn is between 20 and 30 years old," she says. "The people who are on camera, as well as those writing, producing and directing [porn], are between 18 and 30."
The porn crowd is an increasingly young set - right up MTV's alley. What's driving that demographic trend? Ms. Soren points to a troubling phenomenon.
"Our society is so caught up in being famous, and young people measure their self-worth by how famous they are, how famous they might be," she says. "The porn world is another way for young people to get attention. In the industry they're treated as stars, flown everywhere.
"And they're impatient about making money quickly," she says. " They're no different from the people I've interviewed on Wall Street." Mix the love of the buck with the love of the lurid, and you've got a $4 billion industry, she says. Americans rented nearly 700 million X-rated videotapes last year.
"Our society is so drenched in sex, from the Starr report to covers of magazines where women's shirts are off," she says. Young people' s "tolerance for things that are sexual is high because of advertising, music and so many things coming at them." (Dallas Morning News)
