Shay Sweet has been abducted by aliens.

Chuck Martino got into an argument Tuesday morning with Yosef and Rita at Factory Home Video, cancelling his shoot Sunday. "Rita is like a mother to me," says Chuck. "We're family. You argue with family sometimes. It's no big deal."

Elegant Angel publicist David Luger writes:

I shoot a line called Rookie Cookies (the first one was released
on October 27). Each scene opens with me as a roving cameraman talking to the girl and then reaching out from behind the camera and touching her. Then after she strips for the camera and show off her bod, an established stud comes in (absolutely no pun intended) and gives her a solid banging. Volume1 stars Kary Evers (a dynamic blonde from Puerto Rico), Mooners (20 year old co-ed with glasses who is already gone from the biz from what I hear),
Mazzie Paige (19, from Houston, and gone from the biz too), Victoria Del Rio, and Emilia (20 year old blonde from Finland.) Check out the reviews on www.rogreviews.com  or www.adultstarsmag.com.

I started in the adult movie business four years while living in Baltimore. At the time I was going to college and freelance writing for professional wrestling (before moving to L.A. I worked as a pro wrestling ref on the independent circuit) and bodybuilding magazines. Watching Patrick Collins' Sodomania and Bottom
Dweller movies inspired me to want to become part of the adult business. I was looking for way to earn enough money to pay my through school; porn seemed like the answer. So, taking porn star addresses from the back of video mags, I started sending out letters to porn stars, with copies of some wrestling articles I wrote, requesting an interview. After a few months I heard back from Nicole London. Then a few weeks later another girl called
me. I sold my first article (an interview with Krista) in early '95 to Adult Cinema Review. Things just built from there. I got lucky with a few connections and soon had access to numerous porn stars for interviews. Over the next years, I buillt a nice freelance business writing porn star profiles and video reviews for a wide range of magazines like Swank's Video World, Oui, and Genesis among others. My goal was always to become more involved in production and ultimately to direct.

My favorite porn star to work with was Marylin Star. We did really good work together in '97, getting a lot of articles on her published in magazines, and securing a column in Swank. She was a joy to be around: always upbeat, an incrediably sexual aura, and radiating positive energy. My favorite director was always Patrick Collins -- after watching hundreds of porno, the Sodomania scenes remain the most vivid in my mind. In early '98 I faxed Patrick a letter telling him why I thought he should hire me as the publicist for his company. By the way I praised his movies, he thought the letter was from someone he knew playing a joke on him, so he tossed the letter aside. His sales manager Dion Giarrusso found it, though, and gave me a call. I flew out to California, hung out for a week, and met with Patrick. He offered me a job; I accepted.

During the first few months at Elegant I spent most of time working with Jessica Darlin to build her name. We got pretty good results, the main highlight being getting her onto Howard Stern.

Patrick has this theory that anyone with half a brain can shoot a porno movie, but it takes a pervert to shoot a good porno. Last summer I told Patrick my idea for Rookie Cookies (new girls, p.o.v. intros, cameraman plays a part in the action) and he decided to give me a shot doing a movie. Patrick's the kind of guy who is willing to give people a chance. I mean, he's given numerous people the opportunity to direct for the first time through his company -- Tom Byron, Dion Giarrusso (Smut), Nicky Starks (Sugarwalls), Dale Jordan (Wet Spots) and Craig Daze (Dirty Dreamers), anong
others.

Currently, Elegant Angel is releasing eight movies a month. Everything is a series too -- the main ones are Sodomania, Booty Duty, Cumback Pussy, Wet Spots, Sugarwalls, Blowjob Adventures of Dr. Fellatio, Bunghole Harlots, Bomb Ass Pussy, It Don't Matter...Just Don't Bite It, and Sticky Fingers. (Also, look for Slutwoman starring Roxanne Hall in early '99.)

I'll send you some bios on other directors. They all have colorful
backgrounds, especially Dale Jordan who appeared in Rocky 5, Die Hard 2 and several other mainstream movies. Before directing, he worked as Patrick Collins' personal trainer.

Rob Spallone says the North Hollywood clinic, which conducted all the Elisa tests for Saturday's Gabor gangbang, only charges $75 for the PCR DNA test, and gets about 200 or so industry talent a month. "If Sharon Mitchell cares so much about the talent," asks Rob, "why does she charge $85 for the PCR? She makes $25 profit for each one."

Mitchell runs the non-profit organization AIM.

It appears that Rob Spallone is moving his talent agency into a house. Overall, Rob is keeping a much lower profile these days. He's been told to stop talking to Luke F-rd.
