Jenna Jameson writes Luke: Hey cutie! Just wanted you to know... Justin [Sterling] asked me to marry him today... Thats all I can tell you right now! Love, Jenna

Chaim Amalek Visits Show World, Says Merry Christmas!

Chaim Amalek writes: One of my regrets in life is that I never got to see the Manhattan porn palace Show World in its day, when at least semi-attractive porn starlets would take a break from their busy day of filming to do a live show. But last night, I visited the place for the first time, and saw something so raw and shocking that when it first appeared, it caused a police raid and earned the condemnation of the learned elders of Temple Emmanuel in Manhattan. Yes, Show World is back, in its amber/red glory, complete with DNA-drenched stage and a pole that never flags. Except that today, it serves as an offoffoff broadway theater space.

Currently they are showing Sholom Asch's "God of Vengeance", mostly in English. This play is about a jewish pimp who, in order to enhance his daughter's marriage prospects, contracts to have a torah scroll written for his home in the hope that it will wash away his sinsand improve his standing in the community. Unfortunately, his teenage daughter, as it turns out, has the hots for one of the women who work for him. What makes this especially interesting is that the play was written in 1907 in Germany, a time when, to the shame of the jews, prostitution was a very big social problem amongst God's Chosen Few. (The connection between white slavery and jews was noted by one A. Hitler in his biography Mein Kampf, which drew upon his recollections of that period.)

When the play was performed in yiddish here in New York, no one outside of its target community noticed and all was well. However, when, a few years later, it was performed in English, so that the goyim could take notice, all hell broke loose, and the entire cast was fined $200 EACH (a very big sum in the 1920's) for lewd behavior because of the love scene between the two women. And here we are, over 90 years after the play was first performed. (See any parallels, Luke?) Anyway, you New York Porners from the Past should be pleased to hear that eroticism has returned to Show World, even if all concerned are fully clothed. Merry Christmas to One and All!

Alaskan Thunderf---

I hear that a potent brand of marijuana called Alaskan Thunderf--- is particularly popular now with porners. As well as Exxtasy and mushrooms.

Porner: "Any white powdernose is totally out. That's totally '80s. It just f---s you up. Anyone who does that can just go check into rehab."

"Weed is like water," says Greg Cherry about his home.

Brandy Alexandre says: "I'm three-quarters of the way through the trademark registration process on Brandy Alexandre and I will benefit from all of the advertising BT has done on my domain name for me.

"I've picked up three more web sites to design. All from the opera, classical music community.

"Bianca Trump wrote a message in ACME from an anonymous server and signed it "Tuscon Guy," after a regular poster in alt.sex.prostitution. How do I know it was BT? Well, it was yet, another, post about my cat being run over by a car. What is that, the 40th time such a sentiment has come from BT and, like, 0 from anyone else? Plus the fact that Tuscon Guy and I have had regular, rather pleasant, correspondence. Funny how much of an ass you can make of yourself assuming people don't talk to each other.

"No kidding Luke, does she really think she fools people? I know she is probably suffering some mental torment. I wish I could just tell her that it's okay. It's okay to be in love with me. Really, it's okay. I hope she can find comfort in that and calm down someday."

Luke's sponsor, FANtastic!, wants him to keep away from its booth at CES so as to not frighten the children. Luke's also been deliberately kept out of writing for xxxgen.com. Every organization and family has a jester, a buffoon, someone who is outlandish and breaks the rules and is regarded with dismay but is kept on for various reasons. That's my role in this industry. The whacko who amuses. The class clown who's never grown up and is always on the edge of polite society.

FANtastic! director Craig Vasiloff responds: "Well that's not entirely true Luke - I'd put something like FANtastic! (Luke's sponsor) who owns XXXgen Magazine has asked that Luke not frequent its booth at this year's CES show. XXXgen Magazine is a promotional tool for the adult industry and Luke does not ad anything of value by offering his presence."

European porn shooter ChrisEnglish1@yahoo.com writes: Dear Luke and Nice Jewish Girl,

Have a very merry Christmas (Sorry I'm a catholic albeit non practising) I mean Hannikka, to you mate. You and NJG look like a match made in heaven and she's got fantastic what ya call it's to boot. Just an impertinent but well meaning observation. Chris English. Ps. Please give my regards to Lord Peter Christian.

Mike Albo Kicks Luke's Ass

Luke walked over to Larry Flynt Publications Wednesday at 11:50 PM. I sat on a brick bench and waited for Hustler features editor David Buchbinder. We were to meet at noon to have lunch.

Hustler Erotic Video Guide editor Mike Albo came charging out of the building. I think an LFP security guard was around. Mike starts yelling at me, "Get the f--- off the property."

I try to explain to Mike that I have a legitimate reason to be here but he's not interested in my jurisprudence. He comes up to me, grabs my sweater, shakes me up and knocks me down.

I pick myself up and scurry over to the sidewalk. He charges after me.

I run across the street. I see David Buchbinder walking out of the LFP building. Albo charges after me, yelling at me about what a pussy I am. I run from him. He comes after me. People on the street stop and watch.

Albo asks me if I'm willing to stop insulting him on my site. I agree. He wants to shake hands on it. By now we're down the street from LFP, I'm trying to keep ten feet between Mike and I. I'm walking backwards away from him as he approaches. I'm deadly scared.

Finally, by the park on La Cienega Blvd, I agree to stop insulting him on my site. He promises not to hit me if we will shake hands on our deal. And I shake his hand. He shakes my hand, then grabs me, slaps me, shakes me and pushes me against a lightpost. I skip away.

Albo keeps after me. I retreat up the street towards Wilshire Blvd. Albo picks up a heavy metal chain and swings it around, threatening me. He looks deadly angry, homicidally furious.

He berates me for smiling. I tell him I am only smiling because I am nervous (true). He challenges me to come closer to him. I tell him I am too scared. We proceed in this manner down another street. Then he turns and returns to LFP.

I was not seriously hurt in the confrontation but I felt shaken up.

Later I talk to Albo on the phone and we come to this deal. If I apologize to him and leave him alone on my site, he will leave me alone. I will no longer have to fear his threats. We agree.

Part one of our deal is that I acknowledge that he bitch slapped me a couple of times Wednesday because I am a little bitch and a pussy and I deserved it. That Albo humiliated me on the public street in front of people and that I was too wussy to fight him.

Number two that I not publish the critical emails that I receive about him.

Number three that I apologize for baiting him over the past two years with rumors about his drug use and slanders about his person, such as him being gay, which is not true.

Therefore, Mike Albo, I publically apologize to you for baiting you and trying to provoke you via my site the past two years and for spreading gossip about you.

Number four. That I follow proper journalistic protocol if I write about him in the future.

Luke wants people to know that if they threaten me in the future, I will not necessarily agree to such deals as the one above. Albo and I have a unique relationship going back four years. Today Mike and I made our separate peace.

From : Mike Albo apparently finished what Marc Star started at the summer Expo. In an outdoor confrontation with Luke F-rd, Wednesday afternoon, Albo bitch slapped Ford. Albo said he got the idea from Jack Hammer's postings.

Albo: "Yesterday he started up again with this Lynne L-patin, who I never met, casting aspersions that I was sending Jeff Hickey, of all persons, out to buy heroin for me. Of course I had to set the record straight but he goes on his website and says, 'that's what Wally Wharton told me, too.' What does she know? That's a stupid kind of thing. Then he calls me again, which is his habit of late, to call and taunt me: 'Aren't we having fun yet, Mike? Aren't you having fun with all this? Isn't this funny? Come meet me.' Fine, I'll meet you but I'll kick your ass. But you gotta meet me right now. So I wait for him about a half an hour. He never shows. I call him back then he posts on his site that I flaked.

"Then, I'm going out to lunch and Bill Daniels who's our security guy asks me isn't that Luke F-rd. Luke was apparently supposed to meet with one of the Hustler editors, a guy named David Buchbinder to straighten out some misquote Luke did with him. I walked out and choked him [Ford] out in the front of our building by the John Wayne statue. I told him to get off the property and chased him into the street.

"He kept backing up and kept wearing this stupid grin on his face like he thought it was funny. It was sort of annoying. I ask him what are you laughing about. 'I'm nervous. Hee-hee-hee.' And so I sort of chased him around the block and finally caught up to him and told him this nonsense has got to stop. So he goes, 'I'll make sure it stops.' I go we'll have to shake on it. He foolishly tugs my hand. As soon as he did that, just to emphasis the point, I grabbed him with my left hand by the collar and shoved him into a light standard."

G. Ross: "This wasn't a bitch slap. This was a bitch slam."

Albo: "Yeah, I like body slammed him into a light standard then sort of slapped him in the face. I told him it's got to stop. I'm just playing with him, now. Next time I will break his nose, break his jaw and every other bone in his face. Then he ran across the street. He was literally running but I wasn't going to expend the energy to chase him. I smoke three packs a day. In the course of all this he was pleading like a little girl, 'Please don't hurt me! You're hurting me, stop!' People were driving by telling him to hit him back. 'The bigger they are the harder they fall.' And so that's where we left it where he was going to write an apology and tell the world that I publicly humiliated him."

G. Ross: "Vigilanteism is running rampant in this business!"

Albo: "All I can say is people who know me know that I'm not a violent person. But this guy has pushed me like he's done so many people. There's no need for it. He's willfull about it and it's got to stop. It's really f---ed up. I do enough interesting stuff. You don't have to go to these people who don't know me or don't like me and get these stories that have no basis in fact. He's been pushing it. He calls me up and taunts me. It's like clock work. It happens like every two weeks. I can set my calendar by it. But he did give his word." ( Credit to Gene Ross)

Rob Spallone Closes Duke's Shooting House

Rob Spallone phoned Thursday to say that he's closed Duke down. Mike took letters to all of Duke's neighbors at 4900 Calvin St in Woodland Hills, telling them that porno is getting shot at the house. And that they've complained to the permit office. Rob also says his lawyer is going to deposition Dynamite and her husband Gary to pursue charges of pandering against Duke (Sydney Glassberg). Duke is suing Rob for supposedly beating him up last summer.

BrandyAlx1: Why is it that porners like to try to undo all the freedoms that have been put into place over their petty infantile spats? Hal Freeman fought very hard to make the courts see that making porn and hiring porn performers is not pandering, but over some pissant little tiff they seem to want to make new case law that will unravel this for everyone. They are mature enough to know that whatever they work against one porner can be worked against them, right?

Luke inadvertantly posted initially that Mike Albo was involved in this matter. That was a mistake on my part and I totally retract that statement.

Mike Albo, editor of Hustler Erotic Video Guide, sent me this email: Luke: Did I slam your head too hard into the light post? I’m referring to your lead item on today’s site in which you state that I phoned to tell you that I had “shut Duke down,” and that I passed out letters to this guy’s neighbors. I neither called you, nor did I pass out any letters. I don’t know this guy, and I could not care less what he does at his house. I’m assuming from the title bar that you’ve confused my name with that of Rob Spallone—another person I don’t know. You gave me your word that if you were going to write about my “newsworthy” exploits that you would do me the courtesy of at least checking with me to make sure the story was true. It isn't, and if you donut put up retraction to make it absolutely clear that I am not involved in any way in this story, I will find it necessary to go back to our previous status—which means that I will injure you severely. I’m not joking about this, you incompetent loser. Print the retractionn TODAY!

Holmes vs Ford

Nitemare writes about Holmes vs. Ford: Hey Luke, Haven't you been served yet? No? Too bad... you're really missing out! Maybe Craig has the papers you need. Hymie makes a bad legal researcher. He tells you lies. Ah, well, if it makes you feel better. Laurie Holmes vs. Luke F-rd, et al. is case number BC221609 in Los Angeles Co. Superior Court.

Gina Ryder Gossip

I hear that Gina Ryder has broken up with Kevin Beecham, owner of KBeech.

Gina, Tina Cherry, Violet Love, Shay Sweet and Gina Ryder all hang together. They all have identical tattoos on their little finger. Tina plans to write a script around the tattoo for Sin City shooter Michael Raven.

I hear that a black guy named Marcus, who looks like Cuba Gooding Jr, won an opportunity on The X Show tv program to hold the C light (used for genital closeups) on a porn set. We've named him Cuba Goodwood Jr. He's started to book scenes and he's registered with Jim South. He did his first scene for Sin City, receiving a blowjob in California Cocksuckers 17.

Rode Tools

Naughtia Childs told me Monday that her company Dixxxon has completed principal photography on Rode Tools 2, which satirizes through hardcore sex the popular MTV show.

"Michael Raven directs. David Brett is the assistant director. We went to Palm Springs in a Winnebago. All the girls were beautiful. We had April, from Alaska, Misty, the airline stewardess, Brooke...Sunshine...Allyson Chains...

"We could not get people to stop f---ing. They were doing it without us telling them to. We wouldn't have batteries charged, we wouldn't have tapes in, we wouldn't have directors around, but they were f---ing.

"On the first night, Dominic just started pounding April's ass. She had bruises the whole trip all over her ass. She was like, 'Is that all you can do, pussy? Slap me harder!' We got some cool stuff at Joshua Tree. An all girl thing and I couldn't resist. I hopped in.

"The first Rode Tools, we went to Santa Barbara. A lot smaller cast. It was a good movie but it can't compare to number two.

"We're looking for a bigger distributor. www.rodetools.com.

"I'm afraid to do it again [another version of Rode Tools] because the cast was so tremendous. We had real drama. We had a script written but we never touched it once. We had real stuff happening so it would've been silly to fake it. Within ten minutes, Julian St. Joix is getting a blowjob from Sunshine and April. In another fifteen, Dominic is getting a blowjob. People are just f---ing and eating pussy. Dominic had sex 27 times on that trip. No viagra, just vodka."

Marilyn Star

Glenn writes: Hey Luke I'm from Canada and the front pages of The National Post had Alberta's Kathryn B. Gannon aka Marylin Star on the front cover. Marylin star is now a fugitive from U.S. justice believed hiding in Canada. Star is accused of making illegal stock deals with her boyfriend based on tips from the CEO of a New York bank. When did porn stars start playing the market. This is big news here.

Todd writes: i just wanna say that im in nyc and the marilyn star controversy is a huge thing now.how the f--- is a millionaire tycoon gonna risk his career for a porn star.hes gonna do jail time for some dumb s---.now if it was me i wouldnt of done it well ok if it was raylene i probably would of.

Tina and Greg Cherry

Tina and Greg Cherry told me Monday how much they enjoyed shooting for Mike McCormick and Mike Adams of Metro.

Tina: "They are fun to work with.. They are hilarious. They make the sets go so fast because they are always cracking jokes."

Greg: "They were the first people we worked with outside of Carriere.

"Yes, I now work with other girls. I did a scene a couple of days ago with Allyson Chains."

Tina: "While I was under contract to Metro, I decided to write a script because they have some really good key players there. Ron Jeremy, Houston... And one day on set, there was this behind the scenes guy, a gaffer... Who wore cargo shorts and a safari type hat. And we were making jokes... Who are you? San Fernando Jones?

"So we kicked around some ideas. Then Greg and I went home and wrote a script. We did it in two weeks. It's a movie within a movie. It's about all of their [Metro's] lines, Blowjob Fantasies... Backseat Driver...

"We want to do an ongoing series. Greg [Alves, Metro general manager] liked it. We're going to do a series eventually. We'll call the first one, "San Fernando Jones and the Temple of Poon." Houston will be the High Priestess of Poon and Ronny will be San Fernando Jones."

Greg: "He's an explorer and he's heard all these myths and urban legends around the valley about this temple of poon."

Tina: "Metro gave me my own line, "The Ultimate Squirting Machine." I can sit down in a tub of water, suck it up and spray it about six or eight feet. So we did the first one in February and it had the greatest sales...

"We shot the second one in Mexico. We got some great shots in the pool where I sucked the water up and sprayed it directly into the camera. They had an underwater camera."

Greg: "We'd been married a couple of months and we were taking a bath together. And she raised up out of the tub and sprayed me right in the face with all this water."

Tina: "I didn't even tell him..."

Greg: "I told her, 'It's too bad you can't do that on stage. You'd make tons of money.' Then the candle thing. We were backstage one day with a girlfriend and she said, 'Have you ever tried to blow out candles [by expelling air from the vagina].

"If you've got a dildo that has ridges on it, you can get that into her and actually pick her up. Up to her shoulder blades. You can't get her fully suspended. She's got these great kegel muscles that just grip. And if she's not real wet, she can hold on to it..."

Tina: "If I'm too horny, it doesn't happen."

Tina has just started doing anal. And she wants to do a DP, off camera first.

Luke: "Do you do interracial?"

Greg and Tina say no.

Greg: "All our friends in Tennesse are black. We lived in Memphis which has a 68% black population. I ran a nightclub there. And it was pretty much all black clientele. So it's not that. I guess it's pretty much a preference sexually."

Luke: "Because it will hurt your dancing career?"

Tina: "Well, I would hate for my father to ever see that. Because he's like really cool. He'll call, when I talk to him, and say, 'Oh yeah, I saw you on Spice the other day...' I think if he ever saw me doing that he would be really really hurt. I love my daddy and I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings."

Luke: "What if your dad wasn't involved?"

Tina pauses. "The guy would have to be really really good looking. I like Tupac [the dead rap star]..."

Greg: "You'd like Mark Anthony. A perfect gentleman."

Tina: "He's very nice."

Luke: "Do you do black men off camera?"

Tina: "No..."

Luke to Greg: "Do you do black guys off camera?"

Greg: "No, no, not at all. I've done a lot of asian girls."

Tina: "I did Dee. She's awesome."

Luke: "So you'll do black girls?"

Tina: "She's Puerto Rican.... She's sexy and a sweetie."

Luke: "How's the reality of the business compared to your preconceptions?"

Tina: "There are a few whacky people in the business...but a lot of really good people. And that's made it ok. There are normal people like us in the business."

Greg: "We're finding more and more of them everyday."

Greg was born Jewish but converted to Roman Catholicism to marry Tina in a church.

Luke: "I converted to Judaism."

Naughtia: "Luke is so phoney. He's the epitome of Los Angeles."

Digga writes Luke: like your site but your skills must have gone south on this one. if tina gave the excuse that she wouldn't do interacial because of her father then your question should be what is her father doing watching her on spice channel i mean we all are perverts but thats a little extreme she made it seem like her father watches her f--- often.

Chuck Martino shows me his nifty lighting setup. He employs no grip nor any sound man on the set. Just Alex Ladd running the camera. Alex shot stills for ten years in porno and video camera for one. He shoots a series for Elegant Angel.

Alex uses special lights (Kenoflows) which bathe the room in a soft even glow before the Olivia - Eric Price sex scene.

Emmet writes: Mr. Ford I loved the way you counsoled Phyllisha Anne in not getting those stupid breast implants! Because of you Charley Frey explained, that Anne does not need breast implants. Thus she can remain natural and not risk her life. Hey, you should be a counsoler for porn actresses everywhere! In return for payment, you should get a decent, hard, long, f---!

I loved the interview by lexington Steele on 12.20.99. Though one thing I found puzzling was that he said he did some maintstream shows for hbo and wayne brothers under a different name. So what was it? I do not remember seeing him on hbo or the waynes brothers. You know what would really be funny and cool? If lex came out with his own series called "Buns of Steele"!

Mike South On Mike Ross

Mike South writes: Hey Luke, I contemplated sending this to Gene Ross but decided your site would be better because everyone who reads Ross reads you but not everyone who reads you reads Ross.

The Free Speech Coalition had the opportunity do turn itself around by electing Mike Ross to the board and they did not do so. This SMACKS of political browbeating foolishness. The Fact is that Mike Ross is a born reformer, he is a man of imagination, coviction, energy and vast ambition. Exactly the things that the FSC needs most. The FSC did not elect Ross largely because they do not want a reformer, electing him would be admitting to themselves what a dismal failure they are.

It is high time that this organization was disolved, financial unaccountability and sloth run rampant within the Free Speech Coalition whose only goal, it appears, is to maintain itself. The FSC has lost sight of any noble purposes it may have once had and it has turned its back on the peole it needs the most, namely the performers.

I strongly urge Mike Ross to maintain his focus and go ahead and take measures to destroy and bury this worthless cabal. It is time to construct an organization that is of, by and for those whom it seeks to represent.

I hope that the major manufacturers will reconsider this waste of time and money and withdraw support. It is time to reconstruct, people, we have had eight years of a relatively apathetic government and the Free Speech Coalition has not accomplished a single thing that I am aware of. Why haven't we lobbyed for laws that would help us even in the event of a fundamentalist turn in our nations capital? Why haven't we taken any steps to organize and police ourselves in a meaningful way? Wake up people this is an organization that, as far as I know, isn't even tax exempt! Your money is just being pissed away. let's tell these worthless morons that enough is enough already.

From : AVN Features Editor (and Free Speech board member) Mark Kernes writes: "Gene: Just saw Mike South's screed about Mike Ross' failure of election to the Free Speech board on another site. South claims he wrote there because of more readership, but it's clear he wrote there and not to you because there, his statements wouldn't be recognized for the horses--- they are.

"South claims that Ross is "a born reformer, he is a man of imagination, coviction [sic], energy and vast ambition." Well, at least he got that last part right. Ross would indeed have tried to remake the board in his own image, making vast promises to everyone, keeping some of them, but most of all, I strongly suspect he would have used his position on the board mainly to promote Mike Ross, something which Ross has more-or-less successfully done ever since I've known him."

You can get the rest of Mark's reply on . I published it earlier in full on my site until Mark protested with the following letter. He writes (markkernes@avn.com) to me: "Excuse me, asshole: You don't have my permission to copy my words from Gene Ross' site and put them on your site. If I'd wanted to write to you, I would have done so. My policy is not to write to you or speak to you for publication, and if my words are not removed from your site, I will take all appropriate legal steps to enforce whatever rights I have over my own words, up to and including suing your sorry ass. Consider this your warning of impending legal action."

Mike South replies: HyGene, Geez I really enjoyed Marks diatribe where he pretty much made all my points for me. I'm sure he doesn't see it that way though. By the Mark I didn't give you permission to use my entire copyrighted work that was published elsewhere, but don't worry I'm not going to take legal action...matter of fact I'll grant you the permission "ex post facto". Regardless I have a few simple questions for Mark Kernes. I should remind him that I was an FSC member.

1. What has the FSC actually accomplished?

2. Why are the FSC's books NOT open? Why isn't FSC a tax exempt organization?

3. Was Jeffery Douglas paid a salary? Was it 60K a year?

4. Is Kat Sunlove paid a salary? Is it 60K a year?

5. Does the FSC notify industry spokespersons as to it's accomplishements, provided it has made any.

6. What has the FSC done for talent?

7. Do you really believe that my being 2500 miles away from the FSC is what precludes me from knowing what it is doing?

Mike Ross has shown himself to be tireless, digilent and honest and he does communicate what he is doing. As far as policing ourselves, I spoke to the Aerican Telemarketing Association many years ago and I told them that if they did not police themselves and set up standards and rules for members then they could bet their asses Washington would do it for them. Now I am telling YOU the same thing. And you can bet YOUR ass Washington won't be nearly as lenient with us.

Lisa Ann Lives

Todd writes: Hey Lukey, A few days ago I read on Gene Ross's site that he CLAIMED that LISA ANN was dead, as in deceased, gone forever dead, D-E-A-D! A guy even wrote to Gene and told Gene that he had seen Lisa Ann dance just the previous night, Well, of course Gene being the Rocket Scientist that he is told the guy that he (the guy) was mistaken because Lisa Ann was DEAD. I e-mailed Lisa Ann and told her what he said on his site, She e-mailed me back and said that Gene was intentionally spreading rumors about her to try and get her to call him and give him a free interview, (You can scroll down to the e-mail she sent me back where she says this) If Gene Ross has to sink as low as this to get interviews and stories, Well, all I can say is what a f---ing LOW-LIFE COCKSUCKING SCHMUCK Gene Ross is!!!! I just thought since you and Gene are in the same occupation that you might like to know this. Gene Ross is the one who should be getting sued, Not you!

Lisa Ann writes to Todd: Hello & Thank You very much for your info. I have since then got in touch with Gene Ross, who is mainly continuing rumors to be tricky in getting me to call * give a free interview. They will continue to try to hurt me & my reputation until I do as they say. Too bad for me alot of my friends have been very worried. I am fine better than fine it is the holidays, & I am on vacation.. Have a good one keep in touch baby. love to get mail Lisa Ann xoxox

Goddess writes: Regarding Lisa Ann: a porno chick who DOESN'T want publicity? Damn, the end of the world MUST be coming!

Luke, why aren't you advertising your own book for Christmas sales? For Pete's sake, you're in the porn industry, you HAVE to know the meaning of the phrase "shameless self promotion."

Playboy Vs New Sensations

XXX writes: Luke, I thought you might like to know that Scott Taylor of New Sensations/Digital Sin is getting sued by Playboy for trademark infringement which is a federal offense by using the name "Playmate" in his latest DVD title "My Playmate"w/ Jewel De'Nyle & Peter North. According to my Playboy sources, not only does Scott Taylor have to immediately and permanently discontinue use of this product, but he has to recall all of the pieces that have been sold and pay all profits back to Playboy. From the looks of it, Playboy is prepared to pursue for punitive damages as well. Also, all websites that are currently displaying "My Playmate" are getting hit hard by Playboy.

Finkel Stein writes: Mr. Luke, I found your article regarding Scott Taylor vs. Playboy f---ing fantastic. I have been in this business for over 15 years and I personally know of Taylor as a two faced individual. Finally he is paying the price of being a back stabber and a liar. He is the typical smile to your face kind of guy, but he is a mother f---er. What comes around goes around; right Luke?

Rough Sex

Rodger Jacobs writes: Luke: With regards to Frank's comments on your site today about Anabolic's "Rough Sex" videos, attached is a brief excerpt from my feature story, "Arrested Development", that will be running in the March/April issue of Eye Magazine, available on news stands everywhere February 1, 2000.

Anabolic Video's 1999 release "Rough Sex" is a 2 hour and 20 minute hardcore excursion into extreme misogyny that can only pass for erotic entertainment in the way that Bill Clinton can stand as a role model for fidelity. "Hold on and prepare yourself for some seriously rough sex!" the box cover copy promises. "We sink to a level of degradation that Anabolic has never achieved before. These lovely ass-f---ed, ass-eating cum buckets are slapped, spanked, and choked into euphoric bliss. Enjoy!" In the opening sequence lovely brunette Monique DeMoan is treated to some rather unpleasant foreplay at the hands of black stud Mr. Marcus; he chokes her violently, slaps her breasts with much force, and spanks her rather shapely rear end until it turns a permanent hue of crimson red. Monique is compelled to repeat the following mantra: "I'm a cocksucking slut .... I'm a little whore who will f--- anybody because I'm a little piece of s--- slut." But the fun is just beginning because after some vaginal intercourse wherein Monique is choked on a few occasions, she is rolled over onto her stomach for what can only be described as painful anal sex. In another highlight from this soiree of sadism, young blonde Teri Starr's face is forced into a toilet bowl --- there's nothing like a sip of Sani-Flush to say "I love you".

It should be noted in all fairness that Monique, Teri and the other three female performers who are used and abused in "Rough Sex" consented to their perverse and degrading treatment, and that, in the estimation of many in porn, is indicative of the flawed -- perhaps fatally flawed -- turn that porn is taking. "It's kind of ironic that, as XXX becomes more accepted, much of the porn industry seems to work harder and harder at producing product that has the appearance of fulfilling every right wing, religious zealot's stereotype of the business," James DiGiorgio complains. "This isn't across the board. Most of the bigger, more successful companies, like VCA and Vivid, are unwilling to produce or release this type of product. I guess the smaller companies feel as if the only way to compete is by producing programs that push the envelope. And pushing the envelope, in this business, usually means shooting material that is either violent, racist, misogynistic, or implies pedophilia."

Secondly they have a very interesting online survey there. The respondents list themselves at 95% male but the most interesting is the question "how do you watch Anabolic Videos". Of around 1800 resondents not a single one said they watch then with a "significant other". The survey seems pretty close to reality except for the typical education and income fudging.

Luke Gets Mail

Hymie Bernstein writes: Seeing that I am living with/hanging out with strippers Her is what I have figured out about the guys who go to strip clubs. The first groups. During the day there are the "business meetings" where it is a handy way to have a buiness meeting and exclude females.

Due to sexual harrasment BS, almost universal office internet access and the ease of setting up an online e-mail account the meetings are arranged either by direct phone or by e-mail. The secretary isn't told to have the boss meet someond for lunch at the "pussy palace". There are of course a few slow learners but if they can't reach other directly they use online e-mail. I schmooze a lot of the businessmen I deal with by explianing how this is done to them. Generally polite a respectful to the dancers In the evening at the strip bars you get three types of guys.

One are the lonely single guys. The next group would be the "road warriors", the men whose job puts them on the road a lot. The dancers tell me that these first two tend to be nice guys. The third group tends to be the married, usually suburban guys who are basically "slumming". This group, who tend to listen to drive time radio "shock jocks" like Howard Stern tends to tip the boob job dancers a lot better than the naturals. The typical difference seems to be $50 to $75 tips per night. As pathetic as it may sound this group , and there are a lot of them (witness shock jock radio ratings) are Pat Riley wannabees. Yes that is pathetic, I know but accurate. Why is that I envision Pat Riley as having a shrill voice and an overstyled beard?

NJG Visits Los Angeles

Nice Jewish Girl writes: Here's my version of the events surrounding Luke and NJG. Saturday night was pretty much as he said, he was cold and unfeeling at the movies, even though the movie was about Jews in the 50's and what they went through. BTW, Liberty Heights has the gorgeous actor Adrian Brody in it (I'm pretty sure he is Italian or Jewish) and he is soooo cute. He was in Summer of Sam as the punk rock kid and I was in love with him in that flick.

Sunday, Luke picked me up at grandma's house, sat in the car and didn't come to the door! I said Luke, why didn't you come to the door? Luke said, because it was before 10:00 (!). ??? Oh he couldn't ring the doorbell?

Then the "Kiss On The Cheek Incident". Well Luke and I are really talking for a change in the car, we are bonding, and I'm thinking, oh he looks so cute, so sweet, Luke, can I kiss you on the cheek? NO he says. Why? Because he doesn't kiss anyone, because kissing is too intimate. But, I say, a kiss on the cheek? We're friends Luke! Not only that, but you always talk about having sex with me! I do?, he says, playing innocent. Yes, I say, just yesterday you were talking about sticking your 8 inches into me...oh, luke says, sheepishly. So Luke, when you had sex with XXX, did you kiss her?? No, he says. NO?!!, I say, incredulous at this revelation, How Could You Do That??!! Too intimate he says. Kissing is more intimate than having sex, he reveals.

So, as soon as I get home from L.A. today, I call XXX, my good friend, btw, and I tell her what Luke has said. WHAT??? , she says, He's a total liar!, she says, That is completely untrue!! Ok, I say, I believe you. I say, I'm gonna yell at him the next time I talk to him about it.

I'd like to say that I think Lynn takes much better pix of me than Luke does. I liked the pix in general. People are telling me I look cute, very cute, including my friend L. who called me up at grandma's house to tell me that "I saw your wedding pictures and they look beautful!!"....LOL, guess Lukey and I are still married on the net....;)

Luke though, is very cold. I don't think I can break through his blockade, and I'm pretty good at breaking through people's (and men's) walls. I can't do it. Last night when I had a fight with my grandmother and I wanted Luke to pick me up he refused. He's not a person that you can rely on to be there. He's not a very good friend.

A video store owner writes Luke: For me and my customers at my video store go,the best porn is comin from elegant,devils,extreme & ogv.no other company is f---in with these guys.the rest need to close shop.i also enjoy ed powers s---.

The whole thing between myself and Luke is like the movie Buffalo 66, directed by and starring Vincent Gallo. In it, a guy with frozen feelings, (Gallo), meets and kidnaps this beatiful sweet girl (Christina Ricci). She loves him unconditionally, but he is incapable of love. We see why because we meet his very dysfunctional family, who fall for Layla (Ricci). Layla is unable to break through to Bobby (Gallo) until the very last scene of the movie. He can't be touched, kissed, nothing. When I told this to my friend L. she said I'm more like Catherine Keener's character in Johnny Suede (played by Brad Pitt), another great indie movie. She's more of a rowdy, wild, angry girl and throws her shoes at Suede (Pitt) in the movie. But, there's no way that Luke is like Johnny Suede. Luke is emotionally shut down in a big way. Oh btw, wish I could have been there yesterday, I would have protected him against MA...

Message: 205.134.244.13 writes: Thousands of British television viewers recently learned a great deal more about Missouri's warm-and-fuzzy down-home culture...

In their living rooms, the British watched as Carl Junction, Mo., resident Mark Mathews led his wife, Pixel, into his trailer, then made passionate love to her.

"She's gorgeous," Mathews gushed. "She's sweet. She's loving. I'm very proud of her.... Deep down, way down, I'd love to have children with her."

But there's one biological hitch: Pixel is a horse. The British documentary, Hidden Love: Animal Passions, was an exploration of Missouri's zoophile community, which claims that copulating with critters should simply be considered an alternative sexual orientation.

Missouri is one of 26 states that do not bar human beings from having intercourse with animals... The film is about the expression of love to animals in two forms. The first are bestialists who desire S&M or humiliating sex with animals or like to watch trained animals have S&M or humiliating sex with other people.

For example those films seen in the bestiality pornography market such as "The Fun Farm" or "Man's Beast Friend," which are mostly pictures of things like "Heidi Gets Raped By A Pack Of Wild Dogs." The second group are the zoophiles, people like Mark Mathews, who love animals in an emotional sense and want to have intercourse with them as a result.

A search on the internet of "zoophilia" turns up more than 15,000 hits such as "The Ultimate Zoo Page" and "The First Church of Zoophilia," which will perform marriage ceremonies between adherents of the church and their loved ones.

And according to the unnamed author of the Ultimate Zoo Page, sites like his are a place for "zoos" to find solace and to learn how to express their love for animals. He adds that as more and more people come out of the closet about their zoosexuality, the easier it will be for society to accept them. Zoosexuality is an orientation, in the same category as hetero-, homo-, and bisexuality," the author states.

"We are not sick at all.... Zoosexuality is an alternative lifestyle.... We do not choose to be zoos, it is a part of us."

Links at these sites are provided for the visitor, directing them to other sites where they can learn how to make love to the animal of their choice, including geese, dolphins, sheep and pigs. One concern that has been voiced about sex with animals is the social issue involving consent of the animal to the sexual relationship. How does one know if the animal wants and enjoys the sex with a human. And when is the animal actually being abused.

In New York, where copulating with animals is illegal, it is important that in enforcing the law in that situation, the case make the distinction between bestialists and zoophiles, because zoophiles try not to hurt their animals, whereas bestialists do. As yet there is no evidence yet that zoophilia leads to abuse of animals, though it appears that the physical abuse of animals during bestiality may be a predicator of physical violence against people. Current thinking is that someone who is sexually violent with an animal, like a beastialist, is a predator and might very well do that toward people.

The car wreck of JASON PRIESTLY will not go away. Felony charges for drunk driving have been filed against Mr. Priestly today, Dec. 16. He must appear in court 28 Dec. for arraignment. That arraignment should be interesting maybe will get to hear more of this story. I have heard much >speculation< going around this town that Mr. Priestly and his male friend were not only intoxicated but also having oral sex which caused the accident. Well drive safe next time, lucky lucky no one was hurt.

NOTE: In SFO (San Francisco Int'l Airport) Nice Jewish Girl saw Jason Priestley, stuck with everyone else on Saturday morning, talking to a zaftig blonde fan.

Danza claims that rumors started by gays to get back at him for above claim say that his name was found in the black book of a Hollywood pimp, arrested for tax evasion, who supplies young men to celebrities. A steamy story in the June 1999 issue of DUDE said Danza regularly regularly employed the services of gay male porn star KEN RYKER. It's a vicoious lie by gays out to get me, said Danza. And did the magazine print the name of this pimp who supposecly supplied Ken Ryker. No, because he doesn't exist. It would be laughable except it hurts my family, Danza added.

205.134.244.37 writes: A new men's movement is happening in America and it has some past famous participants concerned.

The Sterling Institute, run by Justin Sterling, has regular seminars in which, according to men who've attended sessions, participants are required to sign agreements saying that they will not hold the group accountable for anything that happens to them. According to several men who say they've participated, they strip naked, chant and dance in a ritual of male bonding. According to several participants, the entire sessions were videotaped. Some of the participants were very high-profile people in entertainment, business and law, who are now concerned that the group has footage of them frolicking in the altogether. A representative for some of the participants who wish to remain anonymouse says, "I can't give names, "because of confidentiality, but believe me you would recognize them."

205.134.244.37 writes: With his agency's reputation up in smoke over a sex and drugs scandal, Elite head John Casablancas is taking pot shots at models who have left. Casablancas told Brazil's Veja magazine that one of his recent defectors, Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bundchen, is a stoner who slept her way to the top. Now he's claiming that he was misquoted-at least the part about the sex. "The last thing any model manager would ever do is comment on a model's sex life," Casablancas told the New York Post, presumably with a straight face. "Gisele's success is due to two things: first, the incredible teamwork that Elite surrounded her with during the four years it took for her to climb from obscurity to the top. Second, her natural beauty, talent and interesting personality. I've never heard anyone say that Gisele is in any way promiscuous." Except, of course, himself.

VonTripps writes on RAME: In the last few weeks I watched and enjoyed Poison Candy and Salome Deluxxxe. David [Aaron Clark] is quickly becaoming one of my favorite directors. And just think if he had a budget! For the life of me I cannot figure how guys like DAC and David Stanley aren't connected to some big budget grind house. Their work outshines hacks like Toni English or Bud Lee. With that said. . .I really liked Salome Deluxxxe. I have always loved Kitten and it's great to see her act. She has one of the cutest faces, but sadly she has put on a few pounds. If you have not seen the flick it's a slightly surreal 90's Blaxplotation jawn. It is very dark and moody which can work againsst the camera work in some scenes. However, it's nice to see an all-Black Cast (w/ the exception Jack Hammer and DAC) in a feature that wasn't made by Video Team.

Elastin2 imparts some advice about my lifestyle with NJG.
ELASTIN2: You aren't going to solve the problem right away - especially this time of year. So if you are getting pleasure from it all, go for it and enjoy yourself. But for your long term survival and satisfaction, better come to grips with just what it is you need that she is giving to you, and go after it in a healthier social arena. You are not going to stop being a misfit overnight. Its a long term project and you will need the assistance of others to succeed.
