From the page six gossip column of the New York Post: "A PAIR of strange sisters from Brooklyn have given up the East Village alternative rock scene for the L.A. hardcore porn one. Back in March of 1996, the New York Times' City section profiled Marissa and Victoria Stern, identical twins who ran the coat check at the popular rock club Coney Island High on St. Marks Place, and played in a heavy metal band called the Sisters Grimm. Hailing from Sheepshead Bay, the Sterns moved to Manhattan to work at Twins, the ill-fated theme restaurant on the Upper East Side, but were fired for ineptitude. They took their act downtown and became darlings of the garage band scene. Recently, however, they moved to L.A. to become rock stars. Instead, they appear in a just-released hardcore porn video, "More Dirty Debutantes," to the shock and amusement of their old friends."

SCSI Post editor Montel Bradford phoned me Friday about AVN’s nomination of Asia Carrera and her video Appassionata for Best Music. "AVN stated that Asia Carrera played all the piano in it. That’s not true. Bud and Asia know that’s my music. I produced and played all the piano pieces that she supposedly played because Bud Lee can’t mike a piano. He miked the piano by the pedals. Appassionata was the first thing I ever did in the industry and Bud wouldn’t pay me for it.

"I know this sonofabitch Bud. I’ve edited six movies for him including Looker and Intimate Strangers. I work for SCSI Post [post-production house]. But he doesn’t want to give us credit. I did the best music [in those videos]. Bud gives the credit to fictitious names…

"Bud is the most inept guy. He doesn’t think in advance and get good music. He wimps out. I quit working for him because he doesn’t pay on time.

"My music in Appassionata comes from a track I cut for a Chippendale movie which I produced and directed. I spent $200,000 on it. I put that same piece [of music] in a couple of other movies and they weren’t nominated. It’s instrumental Beethoven slowed down… A beautiful piece that I spent time on…"

Asia Carrera replies: "First of all, "Appassionata" was edited by J.P. at SCSi Post, not this schmuck. Second of all, he obviously has no idea who Bud is, because Bud didn't direct "Lookers" or "Intimate Strangers". Nic Cramer did. Third of all, I played the 3rd movement of Beethoven's "Sonata Pathetique", and the first movement of "Moonlight Sonata", exactly as Beethoven wrote them 200 years ago, so if this guy is claiming to have written those pieces, he needs to take it up with Ludwig, not me.

"I recorded the pieces on DAT tapes post-production, courtesy of Moonlight Studios in L.A., and we laid those tracks in over the actual live performance. The other piece I played (in the modern-day bar scene) was written by me, and performed live on film, from my own handwritten sheet music. I made a couple of mistakes in the song, but we chose to use the live track anyway, because we liked the overall effect. I can produce my handwritten sheet music from that bar scene - now I want to see him produce a "Chippendales Movie" with my song in it.

"I'm flattered that this jerk wants to take credit for my performance, mistakes and all, but he's concocted this story out of thin air, and it shows. If he wants to pursue this slander any further, I'll gladly challenge him to a live performance of Beethoven's "Sonata Pathetique" in a court of law, and then I'm gonna slap him with such a lawsuit that he'll spend the rest of his life wishing he'd taken piano lessons as a kid, instead of Wanking 101."

Somehow Asia missed the fact that I had printed her response to the charge, and she sent me this note Monday morning: "Where is my response? Why do I even waste my time talking to you? You are the most evil, selfish, ASSHOLE to ever walk the earth. I can't believe you went and posted that completely fictitious creation, knowing that it was a lie, without even printing my response. Thanks for making me cry twice in two days. I hope you're proud of yourself, you scum-sucking monster. Rot in hell."

Montel Bradford: "My first [adult] film was Miscreants. I did all the music on it and I edited it. Rob Black dropped it off… I never got paid a cent for it because there was a deal here at SCSI [with Black] that it had to be out by a certain date [which SCSI did not reach].

"That’s how it is at SCSI. They set people up… I love Jake and everything. They are good people at heart but sometimes they bend over backwards to get work in here. They make deals that are impossible to meet. Media 100 is a s---ty editing system. I’m working here because it’s my first job in this side of the entertainment industry.

"Larry Elder [KABC talkshow host] did a thing – ‘porn is not porn anymore. It’s going mainstream.’ This is the stuff that they say about the music that I do because it is a big production. I was paid $2500 a song by Chippendales to make this soundtrack. So I have 21 original songs that are sex-oriented that I put in from time to time in different pieces like Intimate Strangers. Bud Lee and Asia must think that I am stupid and that I don’t read these things [like AVN].

"I used to star in films with Patrick Swayze and stuff, but unfortunately the mainstream is just as seedy [as porno]. Unfortunately, when you star in a major movie, guys like David Geffen come up to you and hit on you and say, ‘if you blow this guy, then you’re going right to the top.’ So I’m basically blacklisted from the mainstream industry [because he wouldn’t blow the gay mob].

"I starred in the movie Skatetown USA. My real name is Greg Bradford but in adult I use Montel Bradford. I did the TV series Facts of Life, and I did the movie Zapped where I played Heather Thomas’ jerk boyfriend. I got Willie Ames’ part."

The Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) lists Greg (Montel) Bradford for the following:

1.Vendetta (1986) .... Joe-Bob

2.Lovelines (1984) .... Rick Johnson

3.Let's Do It! (1982) .... Freddie

4.Zapped! (1982) .... Robert Wolcott

... aka Wiz Kid, The (1982) (USA: working title)

5.Skatetown, U.S.A. (1979) .... Stan

Notable TV guest appearances

1."CHiPs" (1977) playing "Chad Sullivan" in episode: "11-99:

Officer Needs Help" (episode # 4.11) 1/18/1981

2."CHiPs" (1977) playing "Bart" in episode: "Valley Go

Home!" (episode # 3.3) 9/29/1979

Montel Bradford: "I’m working in adult because it is the only avenue left for me to be creative. I see lots of crap but I believe that adult can become a mainstream thing if they make sure that the sex
scenes advance the story line and develop the character. I’ve written a couple of scripts like that…

"I wrote a script about the Chippendale murders. There’s a big movie from Sony about the Chippendales which is [supposedly] a true story. Not really because it’s got the ok from Chippendales [male stripper company]. I was on the cover of their 1983 Calendar. I appeared in the 1987 Chipendales calendar. And I produced and directed [and shot and edited] a movie (Stranded –
A Tahitian Adventure] for them that sold 271,000 [pieces?] in London alone.

"Chippendales is a huge touring show that is bigger than Cats and Phantom of the Opera. It’s the biggest touring American show in Europe, bigger than David Hasselhoff. The reason that it is so big in Europe and that it died here is because he (owner Steve Banerjee) killed his partner (Nick Denoia).

"The reason that Chippendales left the US? Nick Denoya owned the rights. So the cops always thought, ‘why is Nick dead? You killed him for this.’

"[Steve says:] ‘I could care less about the tours in America because every time we play a goddam 3000 seat house like we do in Europe, we have to pay union dues. There are no union dues in
Europe.’

"So, the FBI kinda believed him. When I was on tour with him [Steve Banerjee’s Chippendales], I saw an undercover FBI agent who was a friend of mine.

"My first movie was Star 80 with Dorothy Stratten. She and I had an affair. I knew her husband (Paul Snyder) well. Paul was a cool guy [who eventually murdered Dorothy and killed himself]. She
[Dorothy Stratten] introduced me to the owner of Chippendales on the set of Skate Town USA.

[JL points out that if Montel had an affair with Dorothy Stratten on Star 80, then he had an affair with a dead person. Dorothy was already dead at the time. Star 80 starred Mariel Hemingway, and it was about the life of Stratten.]

"I’m the nicest guy in the world. I have nothing against gay people. But I didn’t want to blow the gay mob. I do have a problem with people discriminating against people based on their sexuality. The gay mob employ the boys who are in the know. Barry Diller is another huge gay mafia guy. He hit on me at the premiere of Grease [Greg was a background dancer]. The Grease producer, Carr, was my manager. He was the one David Geffen told me that I had to blow.

"Adult… Nobody wants to pay in this industry… You buy a used car because you want to pay less but you end up paying more… This whole industry is backwards… Instead of doing something right, like Bud Lee and Matt Zane, who can’t get audio right…

"[Montel’s boss] Jake Jacobs (of the production company Go For Broke and SCSI Post) is the shooter in the industry. He shot Exile and all of Johnathan Morgan’s movies.

"I cut the trailer for Nic Cramer’s Intimate Strangers and put this nice music to it. I never got paid. He didn’t like the trailer because it looked too much like a real movie. He wanted it to look like sex.

"I shoot for Wicked. I was on that MTV documentary on the Wicked shoot Eros.

"My girlfriend (Naudy Naudia) just came out in this masturbation video – Home Alone 6. And it’s all my music behind it. She had a boyfriend, a rockn’roller named Festus… They wanted me to do a video of him sucking his own dick…"

From the 7/31/94 Newsday:

The owner of Chippendales, the Manhattan-based male stripper company, pleaded guilty Friday to the 1987 contract murder of his former choreographer in what prosecutors described as a pattern of eliminating the competition.

Somen Banerjee, 47, will be sentenced to 26 years in prison under a plea agreement for arranging the murder of children's television producer Nick Denoia in Manhattan in April, 1987, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Sally Meloch. Denoia, who was 46 and had won five Emmy Awards for producing an NBC musical fairy-tale, left Chippendales and began a rival company called Chippendales Universal that booked male dancers into clubs around the country. He was found shot in the face in his midtown office.

Banerjee was indicted last September for plotting to murder three former associates who were affiliated with another rival dance troupe, but he was charged in Denoia's murder a month later, Meloch said. According to Meloch, Banerjee admitted to paying two hit men to murder Denoia as part of a pattern of eliminating competition.

Denoia was born in New Jersey and lived in Weehawken at the time of his murder. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dropped the three attempted-murder charges against Banerjee. Chippendales continues as a touring revue, but the two nightclubs that used to operate in Los Angeles and New York are now closed. Banerjee also admitted to one count of racketeering in promoting his business, Meloch said. He entered his plea in U.S. District Court Friday and agreed to forfeit his business to the government, Meloch said.

Dateline: Friday, Dec.4th, 1998...NEW YORK CITY

HOUSTON BECOMES #1 ADULT CELEBRITY OF THE HOWARD STERN SHOW!

How you may ask? By accomplishing the most outrageous proof of sexuality ever promoted on the show. Houston became the first and only sex symbol (or anyone else for that matter) to have gone onto the Howard Stern radio show and actually put her pussy where her mouth was... As a result of the creative marketing genius of Charly Frey, all others that have come before Houston have been
officially "one-upped."

HOUSTON ACTUALLY SLEEPS WITH HOWARD STERN GUEST!

As part of her agreement to host a Howard Stern dating game segment; Charly Frey and Houston dreamed up her actually agreeing to sleep with the guy who wins the game.

"The publicity this recieved was unprecedented" said one producer at the show. I've never seen Howard give so much air time not only the day of the event but before and after the show. Listen Monday morning for the results of the sexual encounter between guest and the super sexy Houston.

"When Charly suggested the show to me I said, sure, sounds fun...It was," says Houston.

Gary, the Senior producer of the show said that "this puts Houston at the top of the list with all Howard Stern fans. Every listener knows her now."

Not only did the show keep Houston on the show for a record of over 2 1/2 hours of airtime including using her for a bit in one of Howard's ongoing HEINEKEN beer commercials; Stern has plans
to bring her back again and again; as he thinks her a terrific guest, one of the sexiest woman on the planet and after this event perhaps the most recognized name in the porno world.

According to another Stern producer, "Charly Frey is a genius... This will be one of the biggest shows in the history of the show."

Aaah, another Mega Star is fully established in the minds of the fans, who after all, are the ones that keep the whole adult industry in business.

AVN's nominations are out and numerous people are upset. I talked late Thursday afternoon with Max Hardcore who, I hear, did not receive one nomination. Max has contempt for AVN, and for the past year has sent them no videos or chromes. Max has asked AVN to not write about him. He despises them.

I have an interview scheduled with AVN publisher Paul Fishbein for Monday to get his perspective.Email Luke F-rd with your questions for Paul. I've been flooded with challenging information.

I talked Friday morning with Russ Hampshire who was annoyed with many of the derogatory comments I have on this page below. For someone who spends about $160,000 a year advertising in the mag, he sure did not get many nominations (about three).

Russ: "I didn't get much. One for Cafe Flesh - Best Video. And Love's Passion for Best Film..."

Luke: "That's not very good if you're lining Paul Fishbein's pockets."

Russ: "Well, you ought to investigate and check and see... Did you look and see what the nominations were?"

Luke: "No."

Russ: "Well, you should check it before you write s---."

Luke: "I didn't write anything [except quote some folks]."

Russ, his voice rising with annoyance: "You wrote this according to what somebody said. If somebody believed the moon was yellow, would you go out and look at it or just write it?"

Luke is stumped. He's not sure.

Russ: "That's my whole point Luke. When you write stuff to be controversial, that's fine. But when it comes to me, I don't appreciate it. You put my name down there without investigating things. Look at the nominations and you judge. You know good and well... How do I line Paul Fishbein's pockets?"

Luke, pulling a spoon of porridge out of his mouth: "Buying lots of ads."

Russ: "Did I get any nominations to deserve the amount of ads I put in there?"

Luke: "I haven't even looked at the nominations."

Russ: "Well, why don't you look and see? Then you could point out that he [Russ] doesn't get many nominations for the amount of ads he takes."

Luke: "No."

Disturbed, Luke pushes away his porridge.

Russ speaking rapidly: "That's my whole point. That negates what that jerk said."

Luke: "Yeah, ok."

Russ: "That's what good journalism is. You investigate. You think about things."

Luke: "You know lots of people say this [AVN Awards are fixed]."

Russ: "What kind of nominations do I get? I get diddly squat. What have I won lately?"

The meta-message that Russ is speaking to is the suspicion by many that the porn industry is dominated by a trinity - Vivid, VCA and AVN.

Luke: "I'm simply repeating what some of the non-condom folks say."

Russ: "Cafe Flesh 2, Forbidden Woman, Intimate Exposure... These are all condom [optional] movies...[Some scenes have condoms and other don't.] I have such a backlog of condom [optional] movies that I am only now putting out my condom-only movie. So, where is this guy saying that movies that don't use condoms don't get nominated?"

Luke: "Some of the harder core folks, the Extremes..."

Russ: "Maybe their stuff wasn't worth nominating. Do you expect that hardcore stuff to win Best Video of the Year?"

Luke: "I dunno."

Russ: "Luke, don't sit there and play your games with me, all right? You know good and well that when it comes to Best Video or Best Film, that these are high budget items. Are these guys who don't use condoms going to spend $50-60,000 [to make one movie]?"

Luke: "I can't think of anyone."

Russ: "That's my point."

Luke: "Did you put pressure on Paul [Fishbein] to restrict awards to the no-condom people?"

Russ: "Listen. Do you even know how the submission system works? Debbie Rubio [VCA PR] submits all the stuff that could win. I don't even see them. I don't pay attention."

Luke: "Right, but have you and Paul..."

Russ: "Listen. I don't do things like that. Paul has his integrity. I would never compromise his integrity. If I was going to compromise his integrity do you not think that I would have more nominations?"

Luke: "Maybe, or maybe you just want to make sure that Rob Black doesn't have any?"

Russ laughs derisively. "Listen. If he gets nominated, more power to him."

Luke: "Would you lose sleep at night if Rob Black..."

Russ: "No, I would not lose sleep at night...Did I lose sleep last time [Rob won two big AVN awards]? No. He made a mockery of himself by going up on the stage... I need say no more."

Luke: "Come on, say some more."

Russ: "You're trying to get bullets to shoot at everybody. A true journalist would analyze what these people say. And look into the whole situation."

Luke: "Has there been any conferencing between VCA and Vivid..."

Russ (speaking quietly and firmly): "There has been no conferencing between Steve Hirsch and myself to get the non-condom people not nominated. I have better things to do with my time. Do you understand that?"

Luke, with a sigh, "yeah." There goes his conspiracy theory.

Russ: "I can't concern myself with who is and who isn't nominated. I have my own business to run, etc... And you know that too, Luke. You know that. You know deep inside your heart that that is true."

Luke: "Ahh, yeah, it probably is. Can I come on the Marilyn Chambers shoot next week?"

Russ: "I don't know. I'll have to ask Janey [Hamilton]. When you print stuff like this I don't know if I even want you on the set. I'm just teasing.

"Luke, I understand what you've got to do. I resent that people think things like that."

Luke: "Why do you think so many of the harder edge folks believe that [that powers VCA, Vivid and AVN have conspired against them]?"

Russ: "Don't the harder-edged people claim that their product sells better than anything else? So why do they care if they get nominated or not? Supposedly condoms hurt sales. So I'm a schmuck, right?"

Luke: "So if you get an award, does it make much difference in your sales?"

Russ: "Not really."

Luke: "Does it help your self-esteem?"

Russ: "Do I look like I need help with my self esteem?"

Luke was just projecting. In reality, Luke is annoyed that he didn't receive any AVN awards to bolster his fragile sense of self.

Responding to Rob Black's charges that VCA tried to steal his name "Extreme" for their new gonzo line, first called "VCA Extreme" now called "VCA Explicit," Russ said: "If I wanted to steal his name, why would I have bothered to have talked to his attorney and asked him to talk to my attorney to see what was going on?

"I called Rob's attorney and explained to him what I wanted to do... My attorney informed me that we could probably use the name but it was not worth the hassle [of fighting]. They [Extreme] offered me the name VCA Explicit... If I was a "cocksucker" and a "prick" who wanted to steal his name, why would I have bothered to go about it that way?

"You don't see me calling you and saying that all these people are pieces of sh-t."

Luke: "You're welcome to."

Russ: "Now, I know that you are going to put all this stuff on your net. I want to see it before you put it on there, do you understand me? To make sure that you don't embellish some of it.

"Luke, if you want to gain the confidence of people, you're going to have use some discretion at times."

Luke's been calling around the industry to get reactions to the AVN nominations. He's particularly seeking out those who angry as they make more interesting copy. Luke has yet to see any hard evidence that the AVN awards are fixed. He simply finds it interesting that many porners do believe that.

Most of the no-condom folks are particularly annoyed at their lack of nominations. They whisper that AVN publisher Paul Fishbein has stacked the deck against them. "The word is that Fishbein," says a porner who wants to stay anonymous, "whose pockets are heavily lined by Russ Hampshire [VCA owner and staunch condom - FSC - AVN supporter], has said that there is no way that we are going to have a repeat of the awards last year [where Rob Black won two big awards]. Fishbein struck lots of us [no-condom shooters] from getting nominations. He's laughing all the way to the bank."

Max, the most influential pornographer of the '90s, has been consistently passed over for AVN awards. "AVN and I don't get along well," said Max Thursday afternoon. "They have a different slant on what constitutes hot porno. They have their buddies and I guess that I am not one of them. But it doesn't make much difference to me. I just keep trucking. And the fans agree.

"It's always puzzling to me what they come up with. Low budget guys like Rodney Moore and Mike South have won half a dozen awards between them while I haven't won anything. I've given up on AVN.

"We keep breaking new ground. Most everybody copies us. Tom Byron and his Planet of the Gapes. We were doing that five years ago before anyone else thought of it. Now they're naming whole movies after it. And the whole slew of videos like 18, Young and Anal... is just a ripoff of what I've been doing. Yet these guys win awards and I don't.

"I'm not interested in sucking anyone's dick to get an award. If you look at my stuff, tape in and tape out, it's consistently high quality piston pumping, fender flapping, gear grinding action with almost no filler.

"Last year Rob Black won two awards. That was the biggest joke of the industry. Till people finally figured out that he was making crap."

Luke: "I heard a rumor that at last year's awards you threatened to punch out Paul Fishbein?"

Max: "I didn't threaten to punch him out. I just went up to him after the awards and expressed my views that what was going was a joke. Johnny Black winning Best New Starlet? Rob Black winning two awards, going up there smoking cigarettes and mumbling through his acceptance speech... Not thanking anybody except himself. And saying 'f--- you" to a couple of other people. That was it. Playtime was over with those guys [AVN]. I've always given them my stuff, my movies, my chromes... And played the game the way good businessmen should because above everything I'm a good businessman. And I've done it all by myself. I've had no sponsor, no daddy warbucks [Rob Black's dad?] to pay my bills. I did this from zero to the top.

"I was always up there nominating. 'And the winner is...' I did my part. And no more. I don't want them looking at my movies. I don't want them talking about me. It's over. I haven't sent them anything for a year. We're not going to the awards this year. I don't even know who was nominated. I don't care. The AVN Awards have no value in my book. Kaput.

"We're selling as much as anybody with the exception of Pamela Lee... I think my Max World videos are the best. I kill my lines after 20 volumes...from a marketing standpoint... We present sex in a straight forward manner, scenes last up to 20 minutes... With the exception of the Greg Dark and John Bowen costuming angle, almost all the gonzo lines copy me. No one comes close to our Around the World stuff in Max World... World Sex Tour tries...but they have no consistent narrator... There's no presentation."

Thursday's New York Post reports that Kelsey Grammer made at least one X-rated home video.

"The videotape and its contents are private and highly personal and confidential" and intended only for the TV star's "exclusive viewing," say the court papers filed in L.A.

I attended the party for Hustler's new club on Sunset Blvd in LA Thursday night. I waited in line with John Bone, Kristen, Zoe and company for over an hour until we were finally admitted at 7PM.
Among those in attendance - David Sturman, Steve Hirsch, Marilyn Chambers, Larry Flynt and Paul Fishbein. Celebs included Don Henley, "George Jefferson."

Tommy Byron was supposed to escort Ginger Lynn to the affair but I don't think they showed. Russ Hampshire did not receive an invitation to the party so he did not show either.

I saw Janine and her boyfriend of two years Rikki Rachtmann. Rikki was fired about two years ago from an LA rock station for beating up a fellow on-air DJ who made derogatory comments about Janine. Rikki's yet to make it back on the air.

I met Nancy Vee, who's returning to the biz after a two year layoff, and internet power Don Osterholt and his wife Tabitha Stevens. They married on Halloween.

About 500 people watched from outside, sometimes in the rain, at the 500-person crowd inside the building.

Heavenly Leigh's husband Brock writes to me about Chuck Martino and Gina Ryder: "Ok Chuck I will bet you Heaven Leigh can and will out f--- your little poor Gina Ryder any day any time. I am so tired of all of these fake women in this business who cry to the right people to get work. Heaven can and will out f--- her and out act her.Big tits are not all that any more you can have all the big tits you want if you don't know how to use them you are nothing!!!!!Go check out Dark Secrets from Sin City and see what a great f--- she is!!!! Better yet ask Steve Hatcher how good she is.You see its not how good you are or how smart or even how good looking you are its who you "BLOW".Heaven does not "BLOW" no one for work that is why she dosn't work allot because she is better looking then allot of the girls in this business so Chuck I have all the respect for you but dude lets see who can win this WAR!!!!!!!!"

Quasarman writes: "Is there some irony in Heaven Leigh's husband being upset that his wife doesn't get as much work as she should because she refuses to suck cock to get a job sucking cock? and is it not at least slightly odd to hear a devoted husband screaming "my wife is a great f---....ask Steve Hatcher!!"...."

Brock replies: "No f--- HEAD this is the job she choose and if some girls are going to suck dick to get ahead of the girls in this business that deserve to get work then that makes them WHORES.There are allot of women in this business that are married to guys not in the business that are devoted to there wives no matter what they do.Its a job just like yours when you get up in the morning and put on your name tag on under the Buger King name on your shirt.So if you don't know athing as obvious as your last post stop posting!!!!!!!!This job is based on sex and looks not who you suck but to many companies forget that and hire allot of ugly women over allot of good looking women in this business.

"Back to Chuck I like him don't anyone get me wrong we meet him at Patty Rhodes house and he was going to use Heaven for something.But this s--- that Gina said about other women in the business is wrong.Heaven is better looking and allot smater then her if she has to suck dick to get work.Because baby soon there will be younger and better looking girls walking into JIMs office on there kness.So think about what you do because it will run out soon!!!!"

Heavenly Leigh replies to Quasarman: "Ok Quasarman this is Heaven and my husband stands behind me no matter what I do if its porn or what it may be.He is just tired of me working my ass off every day to lose out to girls that are not as good looking as me because they suck dick to get work over the girls that work hard every day.I am not the only one out there who has to work hard at it because of all the sexuall favors going on. No wounder all the porn fans on Rame and other news groups are yelling for better movies and better looking girls. The girls are out there they just will not suck dick to get there. Its just like your job if you lose out to some one who sucks the boss off and takes your job you would be upset to and all the trailer trash that works at Buger King I am sure it happens to you all the time!!!!"

Quasarman replies: "Dear Brock sir, Husband of Heaven Leigh. I apologize if you failed to recognize the good natured humor in my statement regarding the exchange of fellatio for employment. I certainly did not wish to offend you. The fact that you've chosen to address me as "f---HEAD"and accused me of toiling away in a fast food establishment to earn my living is certainly justified considering the hurt that I've caused both you and your wife.
I have but one question though. I know what your wife does to earn a living, I was wondering exactly what it is you do? Please be civil in your response and don't seek to cause me bodily injury. I am not a big person and could not adequately defend myself in a one on one confrontation."

Director Greg Steel writes: "I was reading a magazine from France [Hot Video?] this morning and it had an article about you [Luke]. Congrats on your world renown status... It was a light year for me in the AVN noms, only three compared to last year's 28. But I am grateful and support my peers for their noms. Including my friend Brad [Armstrong], who I do and always will support. I feel bad for Max, but I hope he doesn't take it too personal. He makes good product as do we all. Be patient my friend [Max] your time will come. You have always made the best videos in your genre my friend, your peer's respect are the awards this year. Embrace them with the same regard as they last a lifetime."

John Bone sent me his usual BS about Jasmine St. Clair: "Jasmin St. Foulmouth the recently deposed Gangbang Queen may be setting a New World Record. Going to the CES show in January, again, with no AVN nominations, she has three performers threatening her with bodily harm. Her lawyer recently called the CREAM offices to discuss issuing a restaining order against Kendra Jade and now with Zoe and Nina Whett joining the line-up, St. Douchebag may
well be the first porner to require full time protection from her fellow artists."

Bushmiller writes on RAME about the excellent zine by Bill Landis and Michelle Clifford METASEX. "No disrespect, Luke, but nothing on your site or on Alpha Blue (written by Bill Landis, of course) gives the insight of Bill's first person account of the golden age of porn. For anyone who used to read Sleazoid Express, or even heard of it, Metasex is a must." Available at POB
620, Old Chelsea Station, NY, NY, 10011.

lzumino writes on RAME: "Wondering if anyone here can recommend any films featuring actresses getting banged while quoting or reading the scriptures, or perhaps actors reading scripture while being blown, ridden, etc. This could open up whole new cross-genre of porn film: BIBLE SLUTS, KORAN SLUTS, TORAH SLUTS, etc."

The RUMOR that "Peter North died in a car accident" circulating on the net is total BS, I hear.
