Rob Black Rampage

Source: I hear that Rob threw a fit after your last entry about him and has lack of model releases. He was throwing things against the wall in his office. It appears that Rob is purging his office in an attempt to find the mole that is leaking information to you. Extreme hired a new bookkeeper. They haven't gotten rid of Kim yet. Extreme's new bookkeeper came from Bionca's production company. I don't think Bionca was pleased. Maybe Kim will work for her - fair is fair.

Shay Sweet, Michael Raven Get Screwed

By Sin City PR whiz Jeff Wozniak SinCity@Flash.net

Screw magazine publisher Al Goldstein was in town this week to stick it to some virgin meat, and Sin City contract girl Shay Sweet and contract director Michael Raven were it. Goldstein worked the two over last Monday at the Pretty Girl International offices in West Hollywood for his Midnight Blue show. The segments will air in June.

Shay was up first. The first thing he asked was if she liked sucking cock and eating pussy. "Of course," said the blonde sex kitten, as she played with her hair and bounced her foot. Goldstein was obviously smitten. He put his arm around her, and conducted the entire interview with Sweet in his grip. The two chatted about everything from her favorite sex act (oral) to her contract at Sin City and her daytime gig as our receptionist. He also asked about her new boobs. Goldstein was impressed as she lifted her blouse and displayed her magnificent cleavage for his viewers. After about 20 minutes of teasing and salacious conversation, Goldstein posed for a still shot by putting his head in her barely legal lap. He later confessed to a member of his crew that he nearly lost his load at that moment.

Next was Michael Raven. Raven was asked about his videos, in particular the latest release, White Rabbit starring Sunset Thomas, his triple X homage to the 60s as seen through his uniquely perverse prism. He also discussed his upcoming releases, Dreammaster, Body Language and the Principles of Lust, all to be released in May and June, before he begins work on Underworld, his next big budget feature.

In between all the serious questions were others about Goldstein's favorite subject: pussy. "He's fascinated with eating pussy," says Raven. "He said, 'Girls love the way I eat pussy. They love it. I'm the highest-paid pussy eater in the business.' He went on and on about it."

Clearly, the two hit it off big time. Things went so well that both will probably be asked back to do followup appearances.

Castle Boutique Chain Owes Big Bucks

The Castle Boutique chain out of Phoenix, owned by Dexter Sales and run by Taylor Coleman, owes numerous people tens of thousands of dollars. The chain has built about ten superstores in the last two years. The latest one opened in Kennewick, Washington state, November, 1998.

Taylor appears in the 9/8/98 Time magazine article about porn going mainstream: "By getting rid of peep shows and strippers, the Castle stores have been able to attract a clientele that is nearly 50% couples, much higher than the 20% most stores get. "People want to have a retail-shopping experience," says Castle CEO Taylor Coleman, "but they end up having to go to some scummy section of town. The 'I'm O.K., this place is O.K.' issue is very important to us."

The Castle CEO also appears in a 1/3/99 Arizona Republic article on smog clean-up. "There are faint signs of progress. Castle Boutique, a chain of adult bookstores, converted its truck to also run on compressed natural gas.

''I live here, too,'' said Taylor Coleman, president and CEO of the Castle Superstore Corp. ''I know having a vehicle that puts out less emissions is very important.''

Among the many civil suits filed against this chain is: "Case number: CV98-10844 in Phoenix, Arizona. The plaintiff is Insight Direct Inc. Defendant: Dexter Sales Corp. Nature of complaint: Unpaid open account. Attorney for plaintiff: Kurt A. Johnson."

Linda Thoren Contract, Marci Hirsch Plastic Surgery, Etc...

Scandinavian blond Linda Thoren writes to the head of Sin City: "Don't worry, everything is under control. Mark Mazie, my legal advicer, is putting the contract on paper right now, and I am already consider myself as a Sin City-girl. I know there has been a lot of turbolence at the sites of Luke F-rd and Gene Ross about the contract. The reason is this: When reporters has ask me if I signed for any company yet, I has been answering no. But two days ago, I taked to Mark Mazie, and he told me that Sin City accepted my terms considering promotion. So, for me, the deal is closed, even if it isn't on paper yet. And if anyone still has any doubt, they can go to my site: http://www.swelinda.com. There I break the news. I have already talked to Jeff as well as Josie, and I think everything progresses nicely at the moment. Now we dealing with problems like, Jeff's computor refuse to open my picture-files and thing like that. In other words (as you say in US) "no big deal". Looking forward to Cannes. Will it be any other girls from Sin City there? Hope you understood most of my poor English."

Marci Hirsch, the 35 year old younger sister of Vivid co-owner Steve, has emerged out of extensive plastic surgery (liposuction?) and will be in bed for several days. Marci, who used to live with Marc Wallice, heads production at Vivid. She's well regarded by her peers, and is probably more popular with them than her hard-driving older brother.

Kid Venom asks: "1. What vocal, condoms-only company has cut a secret, backroom deal with one of its key gonzo directors, allowing said director to shoot without a rubber in sight? [Odyssey?]

"2. Which director was overheard saying he was going to "destroy" Kid Vegas, the week before cops were tipped off about illegal guns in The Whoremaster? (Hint: rhymes with "rat"...)"

Rob Spallone sealed a deal today with VCA's Russ Hampshire to produce a VCA Platinum feature: "THE SOPORNOS." James DiGiorgio will direct. Casting is underway, and will include two VCA contract players for the 7-scene, high-end feature. The Spallone/DiGiorgio team have already delivered 6 gonzos to VCA's Xplicit line. "THE SOPORNOS" will take a serio-comic look at the worlds of wise guys, casinos, and high-priced callgirls."

I hear that AVN's Gene Ross co-directed the 1992 Cinderella video The Party with Anthony Spinelli. It was the first video to win five As from AVN, which Ross has worked for since about 1987. Ross sold and wrote scripts through 1995. Producers figured it would help their AVN reviewers if they bought some of Ross's sorry shtick.

Publisher Paul Fishbein forbade AVN staffers from creating and appearing in videos after Mark Kernes starred in Herbert Dingle in 1996.

The Party won AVN's 1992 award for Best Director, Video in a tie with Alex deRenzy's Two Women.

According to statements attributed to Bill Margold, two prostitution services refuse to send girls to Gene Ross because of his reputation for abusing women.

Gene writes: "Put this on your website, you gutless, lying little waste of humanity. You hide behind your step-mother's skirt? I want you here in my office confronting me face-to-face with this nonsense. Today. I also expect you to be putting up on your site your past PCR/DNA tests. You want to have sex with girls in the business? Then you have the proper validation,
don't you? Let's see those tests."

Luke: "If AVN wants to pay for it, I'd be happy to take another PCR DNA test. AIM has one on file for me."

Gene: "Get your buddy Vasiloff to pay for it. And I said PCR/DNA."

Any corruption at Adult Video News pales to what has long gone on at Hustler, where reviewers, I hear, have routinely exchanged good reviews for drugs, cash and VCRs.

From www.geneross.com:

The Party was directed by Anthony Spinelli and co-directed by CDi's Jack Stephan.. Mitchell Spinelli served as dialogue director. I [Gene Ross] was there to write an on-the-set piece.

Being probably the largest video shoot of that year, there were at least 100 extras on that set including AVN's Mark Kernes. I was going to direct this movie with 100 eyewitnesses? But let's take a guess at the origin of these rumors. On the second day of the shoot, Mitch and Jack ran into a snag. Jack wanted blondes on the boxcover - Taylor Wane, Tonisha Mills, Carolyn Monroe and Heather Lere. There might have been another girl, I don't remember. Ona Zee wanted the boxcover. Jack said no. Ona began raising a ruckus. The incident occurred prior to her shooting a threeway jail cell scene. Words were flying all around between Ona, Mitch and Jack. Tension got to the point where Mitch and Jack felt it prohibitive to lend positive input to the scene and asked me to talk to Ona and suggest some ways in which to make the scene more productive. That was it, folks.

Charges are now being leveled that I've abused women? Be careful here, Luke, you're sailing into some real dangerous legal waters. Bill Margold is supposedly aware of two outcall agencies that won't send me girls because of my reputation for abusing women? Really? Would these so-called outcall agencies like to make themselves known for the record? Since when is Bill Margold talking to Luke F-rd again? Ford infers this.

Reached in New York, this is what Bill Margold had to say.

Margold: "I didn't talk to the man [Ford], but I can tell you where it came from. But I can only give you this much information. It was told to me by a person who's a very close and dear friend, that at one point, maybe 5, 6 or 7 years ago, you were turned down. That's all I can say. It was not two escort services. It was only one because I don't even know two escort services. But I will not in any way shape or form respond to Ford because my advisors say the only time I can even talk to the man is in hell. And that's Las Vegas. What you and he are doing is an amusing sort of tag team. It's okay. This is a taffy pool that you're doing with the industry stuck in the middle of it. You're both out for your own validation and credibility, and the industry is the victim between the both of you. I don't like it. It's ironic that you called. I got an e-mail from that idiot Luke and I immediately deleted it. I'm not going to answer him. Why would I want to? I will not talk to him. It's desperate. He's clutching at straws. You two have this love-hate relationship."

Lebong: "Since moving to LA from Oregon, I've noticed that shops here are way softer. Sure 'nuf, in Oregon a lot of fisting, golden showers, even scat videos sat right along side the Vivids. One of the most memorable (and heavily rented) titles was a classic from Germany: s--- Eaters 5. Ahh, youth."

"What the hell is Max Hardcore up to?" asks Admit2 on RAME. "He is major league blowing it. Besides "featuring" the worst skanks, cranks and blanks in the industry, he is just not pushing "the" or "any" edge anymore -- in other words, he has long since became the lamest of the lame. Besides the s---ty quality of the tapes themselves, we have the same stupid themes and dialogue. Plus now there is the aged Max with his pencil dick screwing girls who would be best left at the bar at 2:00 a.m. So now, in Max World 19, he goes to Berlin to taunt some foreign girls with his stupid babble. Max, this is just old, tired and dumb. You are losing your customer base as you well know from your latest sales figures. One last comment, although your latest was released in April, the scenes date back to 1998 -- too far back to keep them fresh and to engender any sort of interest."

Ramsey writes on RAME: "Like Luke F-rd I've also got my sources, people who met both Rob and Van [Damage], and they knew the different between a nice and friendly gentleman (Van) and a bigmouth, anti-social, Greg Dark-wannabe (Rob). Rob is just using his buttboy Gene Ross to tell only one side of the story. The people have to the right to know the full story not only the side of Rob. Maybe Rob should concentrate on making good movies instead of talking trash about one of the best directors and one of the best performers. Thomas Zupko (Apocalypse Production) is really gonna show the world how to film "controversial-movies", something Rob is trying to do and just keep failing in, Apocalypse Production is gonna blow Extreme Assiocates away, and that's not half of the truth but that's a FACT!"

Al asks: "What do you make of the custom in porn films for women to shave their pubic hair? Do producers really think that a majority of porn gazers prefer women that way? To me, it's a nod to pedophiles; does the industry believe that many porn fans are closet pedophiles? In a way, it's a good thing for me that the pubic region IS usually shaved, because if it wasn't, I'd watch the stuff way more often... and get less of a life.Do you know of the reasons that this absurd practice takes place?"

Luke: "Hygiene and to show more of the penetration."

In the May/June issue of Gear magazine, writer Mark Ebner profiles ex-porn star Viper aka Stephanie Green. She apparently now lives with her parents in the Mid-Western US and hangs out with a crowd of transsexuals and transvestites. Viper appears to remain a troubled soul.

Gene "Nature Boy" Ross

I think Gene's wrestling hero is Nature Boy, a 50+ wrestler Ric Flair who sometimes uses the name "Nature Boy." He looks like Gene.

I interviewed the AVN journalist 2/19/99:

Luke: "The Nature Boy. It sounds gay."

Gene: "You tell him that [famous wrestler Ric Flair]... You might get a flying
elbow, a few hammerlocks and a figure four leg-vine."

I think Gene's favorite wrestling federation is the homoerotic WWF - World Wrestling Federation, as opposed to the WCW - World Championship Wrestling which is owned by Ted Turner? Doesn't Vince McMahon run the WWF and isn't Vince gay? Weren't there sexual harassment scandals about the WWF?

Doom writes: A few notes. First, I assume you misquoted Mean Gene, since Ric Flair's signature move is called the figure four leglock, not leg-vine.

Second, I have no idea what fed Mean Gene likes, but Ric Flair is a part of World Championship (not "Conference") Wrestling.

Third, as I guess Michael Huffington proved, you never know for sure. However, Vince McMahon (owner of the WWF) being gay would probably be news to his longtime wife, Linda. They have children, including a son, Shane, and a daughter, Stephanie. Both are curently involved in angles in the WWF.

Fourth, there were accusations made by former employees of the WWF in
the early 90s of sexual harrassment. Among those accused were "Stooge"
Pat Patterson (widely known to be gay) and Vince himself. No suit was ever
filed WRT these allegations, to my knowledge.

Lastly, I have no idea what makes the WWF more or less "homoerotic"
than WCW. Can you shed light on this observation?

P.S. What's the scoop on Madelyn (K)night's comeback? I understand she's doing a few b/g scenes in her return flick. Any idea if she has improved her atrocious b/g sex performances? Also, has Metro released any good features with Claudia Chase yet?

Luke: "Doom, I know even less about wrestling than porno. Someone told me Tuesday afternoon that the WWF was homoerotic. All those buff guys running around in their underwear grabbing each other. Just sounds sus to me. And I know of no indications that Madelyn Knight has improved her B-G work."

Vegas Vic: "I know that your comment was mostly "tongue in cheek"; however, I've found that most of the people who have these opinions are talking about the 70's version of wrestling, aptly referred to as "two men in their underwear". Those days are long gone. No longer do matches merely pit two opponents against one another. Now they are waged as epic battles with complex soap-opera story lines.

"Additionally, only a fraction of modern day televised pro wrestling is actual wrestling. Most of the time is devoted to story lines that crib from porn movies, talk shows, soap operas, music videos and action-adventure films and seek to hype rivalries, give the wrestlers their own personalities and whip up interest in the matches. Beautiful women spice things up, as do casts of outlandish characters that in the WWF include porn stars, commandos, pimps with "hoes", gothic vampires, and undertakers."

Pornchat on irc.eskimo.com on Monday Night

<Ma> gene is in invisible mode

<TiGG3R> i just want to be in the presence of the mustache

<l-keford> gene is here? let me at him!

<l-keford> You're a crook!

<LT> spacemanj: No, but he probably would be if he could figure out the difference between chat a web site and a newsgroup

* spacemanj holds l-keford in a half nelson, trying to keep him off of Invisible Gene.

<Ma> luke, you are implying gene benefits from his position, blow jobs dont count

<JustMrT> I didn't think much of "Penetrating the East #2" other than the fact that the former soviet bloc's military is so f---ed up now that people can apparently walk into airbases and make f--- films at will

<Taksan> Quite honestly I think luke is falling into Gene's trap

<JustMrT> who's in DMJ6?

<Taksan> Lately there is more on l-keford.com about Gene then actualy porn gossip

<LT> Taksan: Could be, clearly that's Ross' mission

<spacemanj> Tina Tyler as Satan, Stacy Valentine as Justine, Nikita and Vicca

<Taksan> this plays into Gene's lap

<spacemanj> Juli Ashton, and the usual guys.

<LT> Taksan: Well, then it almost matches Gene's on Luke :)

<Taksan> yeah but luke is falling for it

<LT> Luke

<Taksan> Gene doesn't care about his site other then as a extension of AVN Luke's site is his AVN

<JimGunn> [Luke] You seem angry, lashing out, extremely confrontational making less sense all the time. Gene's site seems to have set you off.

<Taksan> Unless you can stop getting sucked in to this stupid slanging match with Gene Ross and get back to doing what you do best ie: getting the scoop! then I foresee little bad things

<Taksan> I see what was once a relevent insite into a formaly closed business becoming a silly circus of lies and innuendo without any real information

<JimGunn> Tak, but there is real info. there too. Mosty insider info. posted for the purpose of shock value, or to prove how clever the person is who managed to get a hold of it. Luke's real name list, people's court cases; personal info.

<LT> Gene Ross kept mentioning how he thought porn should market itself like Wrestling...and VOILA!, look what happens.

<RogTPipe> They [Luke and Gene] should both just whip it out and piss for distance

<BobBlec> Rog: make it an Olympic event, too

<MikeSouth> LOL rog.....or lay em on the table

<LT> Pay Per View

<LT> Nah, Gene would cheat :)

<RogTPipe> Whoever has the biggest dick wins and then they can both get on with better things

<LT> Rog: Which would be?...

* LT is just thinking what "better things" would be for Luke and especially for Gene

<RogTPipe> Anything. Luke has other things to write about and Gene has enough to worry about finding good writers for his mag
