A source on Rob Black and his legal problems with accountant Mike Daniels, a partner in Tom Byron Productions:

"I know Rob Black and Mike Daniel's; there is a big contrast between these two; and it is interesting how and why they got into their dispute. I have paid close attention to their dispute; it is amazing that Mike puts up with anything that Rob dishes out. It is also amazing that Rob's attorney continues to work for him.

"Just look at the individuals involved here. Mike Daniel's has three college degrees.....a law degree, accounting degree and a degree in taxation or something like that. He is a very nice and smart guy. He has helped me out of a few legal jams. Mike Daniels is a genius in web site programming; he does web sites for many people. I have seen his work. Mike Daniels has his own business in which he used his own money to build. Rob Black on the other hand films people f---ing. I don't even know how far Rob got in school. Rob took $96,000 from his father to start Extreme Associates. He even has trouble paying the women he films; and for that matter many of his other bills. He talks like a big shot; but without his father's money he would probably be cleaning bathrooms.

"Regarding your Update 2/8: Tiffany [Mynx] would not notice a nuclear war; so that she let Tommy's dogs out does not surprise me. Tiffany really is not very bright, but she is good hearted and means well. She really has a thing for Van. "Rob and Mike "are not even close" to settling any lawsuits. they are so far apart they may never settle. This case will probably go to trial. I know Mike Daniels, and he will hold out till the end, especially with Rob Black as his adversary. He will take the case to trial just to make a point. Rob Black wants this case to go away very bad; he has been getting pressure from his father to get rid of the case because more and more sensitive financial information is becoming public record. His father is furious about the case and believe it or not, he [Dominic Zicari] has always spoken highly of Mike Daniels.

"Tom Byron is probably not even aware that a case is going on. Tom should kick the habbit and get back on the straight and narrow. He was a pretty nice guy before he met Rob. Tom is not going to get anywhere financially at this rate. He will end up like that Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights, beating off on the streets for $20. Also, the bookkeeper at Extreme has been complaining to certain sources about Rob yelling at her and blaming her for stuff like bounced checks and misprints on the boxes."

A contrary source replies: "If "the source" really knew anything about Tom Byron's legal problems he would know that Mike the con man Daniels tried to steal 25% of Tom's production company. He gave Tom a few thousand and a lot of promises that he would give him more money down the road. As soon as Tom signed papers he didn't understand Mike tried to get money the next day. The proof of this if the source would dig deeper is that 25% of Tom's production company is worth at least $125,000.00-150,000. Mike the con tried to steel it for a few thousand dollars.

"Extreme has nothing to do with this problem. All Extreme and the lawyers are trying to do is get Tom back what rightfully belongs to him. Mike the con should be careful that he does not lose his accounting/law license for malpractice.

"The source clearly states that Mike is a very educated man with his three degree. What degree does Tom have, maybe a high school degree. Tom trusted him and Mike took advantage of his trust. Just think about it source where can you buy 25% of a production company for a few thousand dollars? Tom is lucky that Rob Black and a few close friends saw through this scam of Mike's."

Mike Daniels replies: "Much of the stuff posted on the site is a little off. My attorney has advised me not to talk to anyone. However, I must set the record straight. On settling: we are working towards making a deal.

"On being a con man and taking money from Tom Byron Productions, Inc. After becoming a shareholder, I never took one dime from Tom Byron Productions, Inc., not in loan pay backs, not in fees, nothing. Our sworn court papers will bear this out.

"In papers filed with the court, you will see that 1. Extreme Associates earned a substantial amount of revenue from Tom Byron Productions, Inc. and 2. they [Extreme] were paid back in full the money they advanced to Tom Byron Productions, Inc. I [however] ended up with a huge credit card bill, a big hit to my bank account, and a substantial amount of firm time that will never be paid. Our sworn court papers will also bear this out.

"As far as their claim of malpractice, that is a legal term and I don't believe whoever wrote that response would be qualified to make that legal conclusion. Nevertheless, this is something that will have to be proven. They have been throwing around malpractice since we first engaged in this dispute. I don't take well to threats, but it is all they have at this point.

"I have not and will not resort to name calling and threats. That is not a proper manner in which to handle a lawsuit. That manner of dealing with this situation, could come to hurt your case in the end. I will proceed forward on this matter, methodically, on the facts and law, and on evidence and documentation."

A source writes to me about retired porn star Nici Sterling: "I've been trying to figure out the real Nici for about a year now. Do you recall the story about her in r.a.m.e. that she was planning to go to Europe and do some bestiality video? This was over a year ago. Of course she denied it but I was told by one of the ladies that actually went to Europe and had sex with the dogs, that Nici had agreed to do it also but when it all got out and she faced questions from industry folks, she denied it all and backed out of doing the shoot. Kerri Downs can confirm this. As you know, Kerri did the shoot. "Now, Nici told us that she went to Germany and shot a series of videos called Cum Sluts. I believe that there are seven volumes with her. She claimed that the company that did the shooting was called Pro Video. Both here and her husband refuses to talk about this series of videos. I don't know what's in them but they claimed that once it's edited down for U.S. market there was nothing left. I've heard that there was a possiblity of incest in these videos..."

Nice Sterling replies: "If more people put there furtive imaginatioon to work on something useful rather than garbage. I have never nor never will consider beastiality nor do I support underage pornography. It sounds to me that you guy all get off sending each other sick and fake emails, Cumsluts incidently is merely the european versions of films I did for Zane. There have been a number of people I run into who clame to be me on my site chat room and some of them rember better details from my movies than I do! I am fed up with imposters , I am feed up with romoars! I am feed up with sick men who stalk me at trade shows. I dont understand why I have become the target of this abuse."

Deep Throat called Luke for the first time in a month and said: "Deep Throat has been contacted by Clemenza and the boys, who, pleased with the results of the 1999 AVN Awards Show, believed that AVN publisher Paul Fishbein had redeemed himself through fairness. But after thinking things through for six weeks, they have decided to renew their friendship and alliance with Luke F-rd. And you may look forward to explosive items documenting corruption in the highest echelons of this business."

Contrary to rumors, Luke F-rd will not be working for Fishbein and Adult Video News.

In the first scene in Max Extreme 4, Regan Star says while getting schtupped, "Don't tell anyone Max, 'cuz I'm only twelve and a half years old." Later she goes on to describe how her teacher f---ed her ass in the broom closet at school and how her uncle f---s her on a regular basis.

Porner Bobby Rinaldi writes: "I find it very sad these days to see producers of videos unable to cum up with f---ing ORIGNAL ideas or concepts for videos as well as titles of their own. As producer/director of TightEnds productions I came up with several original concepts including the Screw My Wife, Please series. During our recent transition to WildLife Productions, some "original" genuises tried to exploit our temporary closing by putting out titles such as Do My Wife, Please, Love My Wife, Please as well as other titles such as f--- You! which I had originally done over at TightEnds. Give me a f---ing break guys and come up with something you can call your own, and yes I will still continue to do the Screw My Wife, Please series over at Wildlife Productions."

Email: "Just what exactly does the f--- machine Houston do after getting poked and prodded for so many hours? Surely she must have wounded up with a urinary trac infection or scar tissue on the sphincter...perhaps TMJ from sucking or even a misplaced disk or two in her back from being in unusual positions. What is the real story there Luke? How much money did she make? How much money is going to spend getting herself back into working shape? Was it really worth it for her in the long run? I'll probably rent the video when it comes out and I can't imagine spontaneous what's-her-names version of the gangbang record outselling Houston's."

A source replies: "After the gangbang, Houston retired to a local eatery with some of the Metro brass for dinner and few cocktails. A smile still upon her face, she proved that she is a trooper beyond all the others."
