And this appeared a little later on another Yahoo Group by Allie's former management:
she knows she has a lot of fans but is not inteterested that is past her and wants to keep her pron career in the past and move on. She is happy where she is right now and is very unhappy with the yahoo group that is up about her and if i knew who posted it i would ask them to remove it for her.
Skronker writes on ADT:
The Mons Venus! That's one of the NASTIEST dives in Florida, which is saying a LOT. I spent SO much money in that place. If she's working there, she might as well be doing porn (or "pron" as the note charmingly has it), since the joint is about a hair's-breadth away from being a prostitution front. Ain't saying it IS, but I am saying that the girls are already naked when you walk in the door, and the $20 lap dances are full-ON!
Within three seconds of stepping in the door I was pinned to a arm chair, had a pair of titties jammed into my face and a wet tongue fuel-injecting my earhole with fresh saliva, furtive fingers groped my swelling prawn as the insistent pelvic thrusting began. When I cried out, those fingers flew to my mouth and firmly quelled my quaking tongue!
Whipper writes: "I never thought Allie was enjoying her scenes in the least. She always had that dead-behind-the-eyes look that wierded me out. Her half-sister Astrid is MUCH hotter..."
XRicky writes:
If she really doesn't want anything to do with porn, why isn't she slinging coffee at a Starbucks or whatever?
...[T]his whole thing is putting the final kibosh on my passion for porn, which was admittedly already under the microscope as of late. I feel like whenever I watch something now, I'm gonna worry about whether or not the girl on the screen is cool with what she's done.
When I think on it, I realize that most of my faves have long quit, some bitterly: Desert, Ryan Star, Maggie Star, August... Well, August is still pretty gung ho and doesn't seem the worse for wear. I like Brittany James, a.k.a. Stephie Stiles. But in a few months, will she disappear like the rest, tearfully wondering what she was thinking when she let all those strange cocks f--k her?
Are the annals (anals?) of porn fueled by a tragic litany of young women's regrets?
(Cue swelling melodrama) Can I still enjoy porn and consider myself a good person?
Tritone writes:
Don't you realize that Allie's contempt for her fans is probably shared by a lot of porn stars? This is why it is best to not try to get involved & learn more about them. Enjoy their performances in videos and let it stay a fantasy. That has been my motto from day one and you can find earlier posts by me on this board alluding to that. Don't dote over pornstars that post here. Do not ask them personal questions and expect honest answers. Keep it professonial .. "when is this vid coming out...", etc.. Not : "what kind of sex do you like at home?".
I mean what did you really expect to gain from running a Yahoo Group? Did you think she was suddenly going to appear and want to be your friend (and perhaps more) because you started this group for her? She made it very clear: you are a weirdo to her. You are obssessed, and need to get a life. I hope no one on this board really thinks they have a chance of getting to know a porn star personally if they are "fans". Trust me, to them its a business relationship. Even if its escorting.
Delaware writes: "I love Stephie Stiles a.k.a. Brittany James. Unfortunately, she recently quit the industry. Stephie only lasted about a month making movies in LA. She went back to Florida and is pursuing other interests."

Korean Crackdown Starts on Online Pornography
The prosecution has launched a massive crackdown on Web search engines for posting obscene video content on their Web sites.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said yesterday they indicted without detention three managers of three leading portal sites for their online services of lewd content. Twenty other operators of adult-only Internet sites were also indicted on charges of posting video files revealing sexual intercourse on their Websites.
The prosecution plans to conduct an additional investigation on 100 people, including employees of local mobile operators, on suspicion of distributing sex videos or photographs via the Internet and cell phones. ``We don't expect the crackdown on online sex content will lead to their annihilation. But we are doing this to prevent more people, especially teenagers, from getting a distorted view of sex through the influence of the obscene content,'' a prosecutor said.
The law-enforcement agency says the content was vulgar enough to cause shame to viewers, even though the genitals of actors and actresses were not seen.
Stupid New York Times Article On Gossip
Katharine Q. Seely writes: "Ms. Smith admitted that the gossip industry has become so pervasive and ruthless that it is difficult to break through with a distinctive voice."
That's nonsense. Almost all prominent gossips have a distinctive voice. Matt Drudge has his and Page Six has their's, and People magazine has their's, which is different from US magazine. And I have mine.
I don't think today's gossips are particularly ruthless when you compared them to Confidential magazine in the late 1950s. There's still little racism and outing of homosexuals in gossip columns (I am not arguing that there should be, that just was the highly popular approach of Confidential, and such an approach would garner a huge audience today.) The gossip columns in almost all daily newspapers (aside from the New York Post and New York Daily News) tend to be gentle. The LA Times does not even have one.
If gossip was hardcore today, you'd read much more speculation (and possibly confirmation) about the sex lives of seemingly closeted politicians such as Gray Davis, Art Torres and John Vasconcellos.
Liz Smith writes: "With the whole world writing gossip, where is the place for the professional gossip?"
Because a professional should be able to do it better. A journalist with credentials has a much easier time getting access and calls returned than an unknown blogger.
Another thing missing from Seely's lazy piece is any mention of Liz Smith's staff, which does most of the heavy-lifting for her.
"Gone are the days when a single powerful columnist could make or break a career."
Anyone can make or break a career if he has the right information. If I had information that led to the impeachment of President Bush, I could destroy the president's career. Anyone could.
"Gone too are the days when columnists had individual identities."
Self-evidently stupid.
"The Internet and blogs have returned gossip to its earliest human roots - the kind of gossip that the priests told you was a venal sin," said Ms. Gerhart. "You can make it up. You can speculate wildly. You can accuse people of the most taboo practices, all in this sort of merry way."
If an Internet gossip column consistently made things up, it would either attract few readers, or it would be so widely denounced by other blogs, that the author of the fictitious blog would come under enormous psychic pressure to either quit or reform his ways. The Internet, like the news media in general, tends to be self-policing.
"...where Mr. Winchell used his power to destroy people, Ms. Smith used hers to help people..."
Neither destroying nor helping people is inherently good. It depends on who you are helping and who you are destroying. Some bad people deserve to be destroyed and some good people deserve to be helped. A gentle item that covers up the bad things somebody is doing is immoral, while a nasty item that protects the innocent by providing them with valuable information is good. Neither be nice or nasty is inherently a certain moral quality. It depends on context. As Dennis Prager says, morality is absolute and contextual. The context determines the absolute.
"This kind of transaction makes Ms. Smith a further anachronism in her profession, where one of the newest entries, in Los Angeles, is a blog called Defamer, a title that almost begs its subjects to take it to court."
Well, obviously the title doesn't beg its subjects to be taken to court as it hasn't been yet, after more than a year in business. Libel actions are rare in the United States because of its laws and the possibility of publicity, which many of those mentioned negatively in gossip columns don't want.
Gossip, like every other action in life including killing and kidnapping, is morally neutral. Sometimes it is right and sometimes it is wrong. As Prager points out, what's a prison sentence but state-sponsored kidnapping?
Monday Is Caesar Chavez Day
It's the most meaningful holiday of the year for me. I plan to spend it marching with oppressed farm workers and raising consciousness. How about you?
Jenna Jameson's Book
Jenna writes on page 132:
Most girls get their first experience in gonzo films -- in which they're taken to a crappy studio apartment in Mission Hills and penetrated in every hole possible by some abusive asshole who thinks her name is Bitch. And these girls, some of whom have the potential to become major stars in the industry, go home afterward and pledge never to do it again because it was such a terrible experience.
I remember making this same point on 60 Minutes and getting blasted for it. But when Jenna says it, it is ok.
...[Andrew Blake] says that I was meek, that nothing stood out about me, and that he didn't think I was going to make it in the business. (pg. 135)
Mob in Strip Clubs?
Cheburashka writes:
I find it very difficult to believe that the mob has extorted its way into strip clubs in the 90's and 00's. The mob is an incredibly weak institution. This isn't the 50s - today if an italian thug with oily hair comes to your shop, you tell him "OK" then call the FBI. They don't have the capacity to intimidate anyone, except those who cannot call on the police because they're already involved in one form of illicit activity or another. Those days are long over.
What I find a lot easier to believe is that the mob invests in strip clubs. The club's stripping business would be fundamentally legitimate, although being the type of people they are, some illegal activity would take place within it (prostitution, drugs, muscling customers, petit fraud), as well as through the proceeds of the business (using the cash flow for money laundering, tax evasion, etc.)
That isn't extortion, or the penetration of legitimate business by the mob. It's the investment of illegally earned money by people raised to poorly to run their business above board.
James writes:
This guy has seen too many Scorcese movies or perhaps he's just plain ignorant of how the mob works it's way into people lives and businesses....they very rarely just show up at your door and ask for the keys. A more likely scenario is that a club owner becomes involved in pimping, money-laundering, strong-arm extortion or even drug-dealing to overcome some short-term cash flow or legal problems. Suddenly the club owner realizes the people he's being trusting to do all his dirty work aren't just some brainless, street-level hoods that he controls. Not only are they criminals, but they are organized criminals....mobsters, in fact, and they've kept meticulous notes all the while.
At this point, calling the F.B.I. isn't such an attractive option. This may be closer to the moment where the 'italian thug with oily hair comes to your shop' and makes an offer that can't be refused. If you're lucky you might get a little white envelope once a month just to pay your bills. It's jokingly referred to by those in the racket as a 'minority ownership agreement'. You are helpless at this point.
Cheburashka responds:
I think that guy has forgotten which decade he's in. Do you have any idea what it costs to open a strip club in New York? Not for the girls or the advertising - I mean, just to lease the space. Strip clubs in Manhattan aren't Joe the weird guy trying to start his own business in a quiet corner of a nearby strip mall. Its serious money just for the real estate. Do you really think people with that kind of investment capital pimp girls to overcome short term cash flow problems?
The people he's describing aren't the victims of mafia extortion - if they're already in drug dealing, pimping, extortion, and drug dealing, they are the mob.

Cops Visit Skeeter Kerkoves Set Looking For Underage Girls, Drugs
Apparently someone's been cop calling. In fact, someone's been cop calling all over the adult industry, and it happened a lot last week. This time it happened on Skeeter's set, and the cops- a man/woman team- are telling Skeeter they're hearing bawdy stories about underage girls and drugs. A lady cop walks into the house, and those with outstanding warrants are already out the window.
Dave writes:
I've seen her in a Red Light District DVD, in a Legend DVD and in Peter North's Latina Fever 3 DVD! I've also seen her here on the internet on a pay site called Mike In Brazil! I know she goes by the name Linda, but do you have any info on her and does she have a website? I think she's a GORGEOUS BEAUTY and INCREDBLY SEXY!
Mark Cromer Vs. Bruce David, LFP
Bruce David, Hustler magazine editor, and longtime journalist Mark Cromer, have been friends for more than a decade. Then, about six months ago, Bruce and LFP fired Mark from his position as Hustler's features editor.
Since then, Mark has pursued legal redress.
Mark Cromer writes March 27:
Following an extensive court hearing, an administrative law judge has rejected the false claim of Bruce David and LFP that I resigned as Features Editor of Hustler. Judge Stephen B. Chan ruled that "[My] separation did not result from any willful or wanton breach of an important duty or obligation owed [LFP]. Rather, [my] employment ended due to [LFP's] invalid acceptance of [a] purported resignation."
I am hopeful that after losing this first round in court, LFP will now resolve the matter amicably. If not, I am prepared to pursue further remedies.
Mob Push Into Northeast Strip Clubs
This isn't a case of the Mob extorting one little bar. This is part of an overall Gambino push. They were extorting every club they could. Just like they did with the Gold Club in Atlanta.
After John Gotti went to prison for the rest of his life, the Mob took over these industries. They've taken over clubs in Florida and all the ones in New York.
Every five-to-ten years, each crime family (Gambinos, Colombos, Luccheses, Bonanos, Genoveses) comes under assault. Ten years ago, the Bonanos got creamed. Then the Genoveses. Then Luccheses. Then the Colombos had their war. Now, the last two years, the Gambinos have been getting creamed by law enforcement.
The crime family will go deep underground, wait out the assault, and then emerge and start taking over businesses with a high cash flow.
What's Up With Craig Marino?
A soldier in the Lucchese crime family, Craig would pop into the Bizarre
Video booth at the AEE (Adult Entertainment Expo) in 2001, 2002 and maybe
some other years. He's friends with Bizarre owner Keith Gordon and various
pornographers.
"F----- A," said Craig after I wrote him up. "We were having a good party. I can't believe that guy saw us. I was only in the booth for 15-minutes."
Craig and other made guys used to hang out regularly at Bizarre Video's booth. They liked to party with porn stars. Since I've been writing about them, however, they've become more low-key.
Craig's front business these days is delivering Zone meals -- 30% fat, 30% protein, 40% carbohydrates (such as horse heads).
Have 3 gourmet meals and 2 snacks delivered to your home daily by 6 a.m. by Craig Marino.
Enjoy all of the benefits of having your own personal chef Craig Marino preparing Zone inspired meals for you. In The Zone Delivery is the direct-to-your-door food preparation and delivery service inspired by the best-selling Zone diet.
Craig Marino's service provides New York residents with fresh, professionally prepared, nutritionally balanced meals that bring home the benefits of a healthy Mafia lifestyle.
Since I've gone on the Craig Marino diet, I've lost 20 pounds and I'm feeling great. I have increased sexual stamina.
Gaming Commissions in Las Vegas and Atlantic City don't like it when mobsters such as Craig Marino stop by to party. Someone read my blog and claimed they couldn't find any records of Craig Marino being at any casino in Las Vegas.
Craig and company had to pull back on their Atlantic City partying.
Tommy Sinnopoli Used To Drink With FBI's Most Wanted Whitey Bulger
Tommy knows a lot of made guys. He worked with the Mob in the 1970s and '80s.
Bulger, a mythical Irish gangster from Boston's southside, is among the FBI's ten most wanted criminals (murder etc). Tommy might know where he's hiding.
I hear Matt Damon is making a movie about Whitey Bulger.
Tommy has friends in the San Fernando Valley who also hung out with Whitey. Ronny Romes who owns the restaurant Uncle Mike's Italian Restaurant at 20844 Vanowen St, Canoga Park, near the old Sin City building.
XXX writes:
You had that lawyer write in that the Mob was dead. What's he talking about? It's a billion-dollar business. You can't do construction in New York without paying off the Mob.
The Mob (all the crime families) had their tentacles into the clean-up of the World Trade Center. When America was mourning, those Mob guys were robbing the site, not working, having no-show jobs, sleeping, eating in restaurants and getting paid for it, while America was crying.
They'd cart stuff off from the WTC and dump people's remains on the side of the road. The truckers got paid by the load, so many of them just dumped wherever they could. Relatives can't get the remains of their loved one because that one finger or whatever is rotting by the side of the road in New Jersey.
Prominent Contract Girl Broke, Looking For Johns?
Joe says: Even ----- does it. One night in the limo, she said she was broke and begging for work. She has a drug problem. She hangs out with Cassidy. They were all messed up on Ecstasy one night. Someone called on the house phone and they gave the person directions to their home. It was a stalker-fan they didn't know. He came in the house and they had to call the police.
You could put many different names in these stories. Drugs, reckless spending, hooking. It's the life of the average porn girl. They'll have the drugs in their system, in the house, and they'll call the police for help.
What do these girls think they're going to do when they're 40? They make incredible amounts of cash and they have nothing to show for it.
A Chat With A Law Enforcement Source

"The day is coming. The way the Bush administration is... Look at how the FCC is cracking down on regular broadcasters. The industry is ripe for a federal bust."
Is Vivid owner Steve Hirsch friends with Michelle Braun aka Nici of Nicisgirls? A couple of years ago, I alleged that he was.
XXX: "Not that I know of. Michelle says she is but she's a liar."
Another source tells me that Steve has never met the woman. Yet she pimps out most of his contract girls.
XXX: "Lenny Friedlander, owner of New Beginnings, is a friend of Pete Milano (who showed in Time magazine in a November 28, 1969 piece on the Mob's infiltration of Las Vegas), the Mob boss of Los Angeles.
"There was a girl who worked for Michael Esposito at Gentlemen's Video. Her name is Mary. She ran Michael's mail-order business. She's from New York. She used to go around saying she was Sonny Franzese's niece (she wasn't). Sonny is the oldest living gangster behind bars.
"She used to shake down Lenny Friedlander for $10,000 here, $15,000 there. Nobody could figure out how. Mary caused so many problems. The word came down to her to shut up. Guys came down from Westlake and told her to shut her mouth. They came several times.

Fraternity suspended for participating in porn film
A local fraternity that's admitted to taking part in a hard-core pornographic film is on suspension pending an investigation by Chico State University officials.
Chico's Phi Kappa Tau house on West Fifth Street does appear to be the site of the taping of an adult film that's available for sale on the Internet, university officials said.
It's still not clear how many members took part in the film, but the actions do include sexual activity.
According an article in Rolling Stone magazine, the company provides the women - porn stars - and heads to private residences of college students, many of whom are drunk when the cameras are rolling.
Satire
'I Remember Big Tony Saying Vinny D Was Stealing From Them'
Not me. Not the real me. Not the kind, sensitive sweet me who listens to Air Supply and makes love out of nothing at all. But my alter ego remembers sitting around with Big Tony (the late Anthony Peraino, father of the late Butchie Peraino) back in the day. I remember talking about Vinny D, who was running Arrow Productions.
It was me, Big Tony and Tommy Sinnopoli. Tony was a made guy. Butchie's brother Joe the Whale Peraino was a made guy. Butchie wasn't a made guy.
You know who's the man? The guy who was around for all this stuff? Fred Lincoln. He's quoted a lot in The Other Hollywood. Compared to Fred, everyone else is talking out of their ass. They didn't know Butchie (producer of the movie Deep Throat) like Fred did.
After Butchie got out of prison, and before he died of lung cancer, Fred was with him. As well as Palms Springs mobster Jimmy Caci.
Fred Lincoln didn't have to leave. Normally we make civilians leave when it is just us made guys. But we let Fred stay.
This was when Butchie was writing his book. He had chapters written. Now his son Louis Peraino owns the rights to the book.
It was hard having a sustained conversation with Butchie because he was always going off to prison or the grave. He had a son who was killed in prison in the early '90s.
Joe the Whale had a son gunned down in front of him circa 1982. Joe and Butchie stopped talking to each other. Joe the Whale and Jimmy Caci were good friends. Joe told Jimmy to give his condolences to Butchie when he lost a son.
Butchie's dad Tony had the juice. Butchie didn't have the organized crime connections like his father and brother. Butchie had a loud mouth and he caused a lot of problems.
I remember sitting back with the godfather and he wasn't too happy with some of the things Butchie was saying and doing.
Some people say that Butchie thought he was tougher than he was. I didn't have a problem with him. But once.
I was young. About 20. He threatened somebody who worked for me. Said he was going to kill him. I told the guy who got threatened to go back and tell Butchie that you're my friend. Butchie goes, who's Luke the Scoop?
I thought, forget him. He's not a made guy. I don't have to be nice to him.
Tommy Sinnopoli is meeting with Butchie in his office. I brought two guys with shotguns in the car. We're sitting outside. I told them, if I come outside and give you the signal with my hand, just blast the bastard.
Butchie got into it. Tony came over. I told Butchie, I don't care about you and your family. You're a dick. You're not going to disrespect me because you think you've got pull. Because you don't have pull and I'm tougher than you are.
Everyone tried to calm Butchie down and tell him he was wrong. The late Jerry Zimmerman came over and told Butchie about me.
So Butchie apologized and gave me a hug. That meant a lot to me. More than when Tina Marie blew me. So I went out and told the kids to call it off.
Tony used to wear a little gangster hat all the time. I loved that. Gotta get me one.
Tony was a good guy. As good as gangsters go.
I haven't seen Vinny D in a while. Not since last Thursday when I spotted him at Michael Espositos. I used to hang with Vinny and Tommy and Michael and Stanley and all those guys. In my dreams.
I haven't heard from Joey Abinanti in a while. He runs a damn fine duplicating business.
I'm sure his name will come up when I go back to New York and sit down with the Lucchese Family. LuccheseFamily.com. Then the ColomboFamily.com. I see those domain names are registered to 330 East 15th Street, New York, 1003. Isn't that the address of Keith Gordon's (Bizarre Video) uncle? A mob guy? Is this a joke? People should not make jokes about things like this.
Keith has the juice. He knows the people. But they're mad at Keith because they told him not to be partners with Jill Kelly Productions (JKP) in the first place. Then Keith got screwed.
Keith has another problem with the made guys. Keith started sleeping with the girlfriend of a made guy who went to prison. And he was told not to but he just couldn't overcome his carnal urges.
The family says they're washing their hands off Keith. But Keith is blood. They may say that now, but if Keith is out $200,000 from the JKP fiasco, I'm sure they'll help, because some of that money is for them.
Keith Gordon is a good earner for the family. He's partnered with guys who are in parking lots. That's the front business anyway.
Keith still lives in Los Angeles.
Keith has connections to the top of the Colombo family.
I used to think he was close with the Gambinos. I get he has many friends in high places.
When I was in Bayridge, Brooklyn, someone got out of prison for many years. One of Keith's relatives who became a street boss. And Keith's alliances shifted to the Colombos.
One of Keith's relatives, a guy he hangs out with, his dad was a Gambino who got killed by Sammy the Bull Gravano. Then this relative got proposed to the Colombo family along with this guy who got out of prison.
There are shifting alliances.
Keith has connections all over, including to John Baudanza, a capo in the Lucchese family.
I saw Teddy Rothstein with some of the Gambinos. Mark Carriere lost that lawsuit to him. If Mark wasn't such a shmuck, I would've taken a picture with my cellphone of Teddy with the Mob guys. But Mark's never done anything for me. Shoot, he doesn't advertise on lukeisback. And I'm his friend he's a dick to me.
I hear that Anthony Fiato's book The Animal in Hollywood might get made into a movie.
Last time I saw ex-porn star Tina Marie was at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 1995. She looked chubby.
Last time I saw her brother John Stallion was in Joe Isgro's office in 1997.
What's Up With Michelle Braun, Madam Of Nicis Girls?
I hear she's left her husband in the music industry and is on the run. A few days ago, she was hanging out at the Four Seasons on Doheny in Beverly Hills. Last I knew, she was looking for two black guys to send to South Africa. Don't they have enough black guys in Africa? I guess you can never have too many.
Nici normally doesn't book guys. Rob Spallone should be able to procure some black guys. He keeps them living in trees outside his apartment.
Few of these escort girls such as Chloe Jones pay their taxes. The IRS interviewed a bunch of people at Playboy and got Playboy's full cooperation. A bunch of Playboy models have been banned from the mansion for prostituting themselves with Nicis Girls and other such agencies.
Women R Wild Clubstyle Atlantic City
I spot Kevin Beechum on the tape (from October 1, 3, 2003) with some Hells Angeles, the same guys I saw Kevin with at the AEE (Adult Entertainment Expo) in Las Vegas every January. I think the small Hells Angel, named JP (?), was one of the shooters in the 2002 Laughlin River Run rumble between the Angels and the rival biker gang the Monguls that left three people dead. JP is now on trial for murder.
A Friend Of Charlie?
From the New York Daily News:
The inevitable trashy blond has told The National Enquirer that she is Charlie Sheen's secret lovah. The bleached and surgically enhanced Chloe Jones claims the "Two and a Half Men" star recently paid her more than $15,000 for sex and even asked the former porn star and prostitute to marry him.
But Jones isn't doing this for the publicity. She says she recently had a "near-death experience that made me decide to put that life behind me."
Sheen's rep says Jones is a big fat liar and the actor hasn't seen her since 1996.
DCypher writes on Hardcoregossip.com:
Charlie Sheen has such a checkered past that it's hard not to believe wild tales about him when you hear them. For example, I recall a while back Rick Masters claimed that his wife [Charlese L'Amour], a stunning blond that used to be involved with Sheen, and another porn chick, possibly John West's wife [Terri Starr], had an incident trying to climb over Sheen's fence in which someone may or may not have gotten a beat down.
Either way, the rumor mill is going to churn, since hottie wife Denise Richards (does anyone remember Wild Things?) has ousted Sheen from the love nest despite bearing his child. Too bad she's not talking either...
The National Enquirer has been looking for a story on Charlie since his wife Denise Richards kicked him out of the house and said she was divorcing him. The Enquirer eventually found out about Chloe Jones.
Chloe took a lie detector and passed. She got paid by the Enquirer. It was verified that Chloe Jones, former Vivid girl, worked for the escort agency Nicis Girls.
Hollywood Ending
A Jewish kid named Michael Steinberg runs a ticket-scalping operation. He sells tickets for concerts and sporting events at inflated prices. He rips off half a dozen porn people including Vinny DeStephano. He rips off a Hollywood producer.
The producer has his two black thugs pick the kid up, tie him up, and drive him around in a limousine. The blacks suggest that they take the kid with them to East LA and if he doesn't get the money owed within four days, they will kill him. The kid cries. He says he will get the money if they will only let him go. Once they let him go, the kid disappears.
CSI - Cum Scene Investigation
A couple of years ago, a Hollywood producer had a bright idea. His Hollywood career wasn't going anywhere. He decided he'd make some pornos ripping off the TV series CSI (Crime Scene Investigation). His angle was Cum Scene Investigation.
The Hollywood producer was a big gambler. He knew ex-pornographer Peter Kinsler from Las Vegas. Peter hooked up the producer with Bill Linton (Linton Applegate) of VIP.
Linton got into trouble for knocking off Anabolic's stuff.
Linton, who has a long ponytail and looks like he has hair transplants and has jacked-up teeth, is just the front man for VIP. The owner is the Israeli Chaim. What's Chaim's last name? And the name of his other company down the street from VIP?
Linton doesn't have many friends in the industry. A lot of people say he ripped them off.
The producer paid Linton $16,000 to make two porn movies. Linton spent $4200, hiring a big black guy to shoot one movie at Randy DeTroit's house.
Then Linton the producer that he'd already spent over $16,000 and couldn't afford to make another movie. The one movie he did make was the worst porn movie ever, according to the producer.
One day a couple of hulking African-American gentlemen show up to Linton's VIP office and threaten to kill him. They have a gun. They throw him around the office.
The Hollywood producer goes soft and decides not to kill Linton.
Still, everything has been captured on security video. The secretary calls the LAPD who show up quickly.
The LAPD calls the Hollywood producer. Things get ugly until Linton agrees to drop charges.
The next day, Chris Walsh, calls the Hollywood producer. "What are you doing sending two niggers into my home?"
The producer agrees to meet with Walsh, who calls himself the protector of Chatsworth.
Walsh acts on behalf of Bill Linton.
The producer and Walsh reach a settlement.
A few weeks later, Chris Walsh ended up dismembered in a Chatsworth trash can.
Chris Walsh hung around porn and Chatsworth for many years. He used to work for Arrow. Chris has brothers who frighten the daylights out of porners who know them.
The man responsible for Walsh's murder was caught by the police and jailed. It wasn't the producer or his African-American gentlemen.
Gotti pals squeezed strip club
From New York Daily News:
Close pals of the late John Gotti were accused yesterday of shaking down a high-end Manhattan strip club for an eye-popping $2.5 million.
Reputed Gambino capo Salvatore (Fat Sal) Scala and alleged soldier Thomas (Monk) Sassano were nailed for allegedly putting the squeeze on the owner and operators of the VIP Club topless joint on W. 20th St. for years.
An indictment unsealed in Manhattan Federal Court alleges that Scala, 62, of Brooklyn, and Sassano, 59, of Westbury, L.I., extorted the posh club for large sums of cash from the mid-1990s through 2002, when the business was sold.
Mob rat Salvatore (Sammy Bull) Gravano testified that Scala was one of the gunmen Gotti used to rub out then-Gambino boss Paul Castellano outside Sparks Steak House in midtown Manhattan in 1985. Scala has never been prosecuted in the Castellano case.
In court, prosecutor Joon Kim said Sassano collected the payoffs or had other mobsters collect it. He said the extortion payments were kicked up to Scala. Sassano pleaded not guilty and was released on a $1 million bond by Manhattan Federal Court Judge Lewis Kaplan, who ordered him confined to his home.
Sassano's lawyer, Richard Wool, told Kaplan that his client said he didn't even know Scala in the 1990s. Scala's arraignment was put off until next month. He is currently serving a 63-month sentence for extorting an X-rated video store on Long Island. Both men face up to 40 years if convicted of extortion.
When the late Louis (Gigi the Whale) Inglese (he died last month) got out of prison after 36 years, he had to get a job. So he became the manager of VIP Club.
Whether it was at Jimmy's Downtown, or Nino's on First Avenue, or the Pleasant Avenue Café before it closed down, or Rao's, where he sat at the corner of the bar away from the door, Gigi The Whale lived the rest of his years hard and fast.
"I kept thinking how it was the official passing of an era," said one friend who attended the wake. "He was a standup guy and spent a long time in jail, but when he got out he embraced life and lived those last ten years as though it were an entire lifetime. He loved it all. He didn't seem to regret any of it."
VIP had a ton of rules. You couldn't wear tennis shoes. It was hard to get into.
Jenna Jameson And Ghostwriting
As I pick up and start reading Jenna Jameson's book (written by Neil Strauss), I reflect back on last Sunday piece on ghostwriting by Joe Queenan:
Ever since I started reading Charles de Gaulle's memoirs as a young man, I have been fascinated by ghostwritten books. Though it was never definitely proved that the celebrated novelist Andre Malraux had collaborated on these works with the equally great French statesman, I was more than willing to believe rumors spread by his detractors, both young and old, because the writing was electrifyingly entertaining, and de Gaulle did not seem like an electrifyingly entertaining kind of guy. By farming out his life's story to a titan of French literature, de Gaulle seemed to be saying, ''I've got the dinero; go fetch the Camaro.''
The de Gaulle-Malraux literary liaison, if it ever existed, is an illustration of ghostwriting at its very best. One dashing figure, who has the brains but not the leisure to write a book, secures the services of a genius with time on his hands. The nominal author provides the relevant facts, figures and anecdotes about those gay old times at L'Ecole Normale Superieure; the ghostwriter does the heavy lifting. But nobody ever officially admits that a ghostwriter is involved because that gets up the public's nose. This was also the template for the manufacture of John F. Kennedy's ''Profiles in Courage,'' which won the callow young senator an image-enhancing Pulitzer Prize for a book that he almost certainly did not write, at least by himself. The underlying philosophy here was clear: Get the book written; let the sticklers worry about who wrote it.
But in recent times a cloud has begun to hang over the deliciously vaporous world of ghostwriting. This is because greater transparency about the collaborative process has inadvertently led to greater confusion. Things started to take a bad turn when the basketball legend Charles Barkley complained that he had been misquoted in his own autobiography. This gave rise to a niggling suspicion in some quarters that ghostwriters were churning out books with only minimal input from their nominal authors. Shocking!
Jenna Jameson's book is a superb read but the voice of the text is that of Neil Strauss and not of Jenna. If you doubt me, read Jenna's blog, read "her" book, and read other work by Neil Strauss.
From Jenna's blog entry for March 23:
Hey there, Hows Life? Mine is settling down after a rigid work week everyday last week. I completed an amazing scene with Ashton and another with my new girl Sophia Rossi (her first scene ever) Ashton and I had a wonderful time, I mean I've known her for many years... we gigled until it came time for her to come to terms with my strap on... she took it like a champ, I had no idea Ashton was as nasty as she is! I seem to be becoming a fister extraordnaire! :) Sophia was so incredibly into it, I forgot about the camera all together. That is extremely rare when doing a scene, especially girl/girl. She was so wet I felt like I was covered from head to toe with her cum by the end of the scene! LOL Thats Hot. This week is filled with a lot of top secret stuff... No telling when I will be able to make these goings on public... but you will be the first to know!
Here are some of my favorite parts of Jenna's book. From page 13, when Jenna was 16 and at the tattoo parlor:
I thought I could fix him. I thought that I could break through the tough facade and find hte real Jack, the sensitive man-child hiding behind all those tattoos. Precisely because he never opened up about anything emotional or sensitive, I thought he was the most emotional and sensitive man in the world.
Stuck In Rehab With Pat O'Brien
A new resident arrived today. He showed up during group time when "Tony" was talking about the poodle he had when he was a boy. Again.
Sheryl Anne started to introduce the new guy, but before she could, he did it himself. "Hey, folks! I'm Pat O'Brien."
"Hi, Pat O'Brien," a few of us answered back.
"We encourage residents to avoid using last names," Sheryl Anne told him.
"Hey, folks!" Pat O'Brien said. "Coming up next: Find out what famous entertainment show host has checked himself out of the limelight and into rehab."
How To Observe Air Supply's 30 Anniversary?
It's May 12, Yom Ha'atzmaut aka Israel Independence Day.
I'm working on an essay about Air Supply's meaning to my life.
In honor of their contributions to the music, I want to have a meaningful date on that day. Dinner at a kosher restaurant followed by a walk along the beach watching the sun go down.
Failing that, I will spend this sacred time writing about love and other bruises.
To give in to moral weakness would be to betray Air Supply's ideals. Therefore, I will not hook up May 12 with some girl young, dumb and full of fun.
She promotes the Andrew Blake movie Close-up.
Political Porn Star Set For Safe Sex Tour
LAS VEGAS (Wireless Flash) - The porn actress who campaigned to be California's governor a few years back is now trying to make the U.S. a "condom nation."
On Saturday (Mar. 26), Mary Carey will start a nationwide tour of 50 cities to promote safe sex among college students.
This movie is what it is all about -- beautiful girls. It's been a while since I've had a relationship with one, but if I ever do, I want it to be like this movie. But longer.
The director of the film, Ted Demme, was my age (38) when he died of a heart attack.
"You let her behind the curtain, I know you did. You never let them behind the curtain Will. You never let them see the little old man behind the curtain working the levers of the great and powerful OZ. They are all sisters Willie ... they aren't allowed back there ... they mustn't see."
Paul delivers a monologue defending man's idealization for the impossibly perfect image of women. "Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. Se can make you feel high with the single greatest commodity known to man--promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gaze of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, how she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels are bottled promise. A beautiful girl is all powerful, and that's as good as love."
Some of my other favorite quotes:
Paul: I'll bet you $20 she's banging that guy.
Kev: Bad bet.
Paul: Bad bet? Why?
Kev: Well, either way you lose. If you win, she's bangin' the guy, if
you lose, you lose 20 bucks.
Kev: Carmen Swisher, the porn star. She's the one in "Fistful of Vixens".
You know the one who gets all of her orifices simulateously penetrated
by those circus midgets?
Willie: Oh s---, that's her? She's good.
Kev: Very talented girl.
Moe: Very talented girl.
Kev: Those midgets seemed to get a real kick out of her.
Gina:
Girls with big tits have big asses. Girls with little tits have little asses. That's the way it goes. God doesn't f--k around, he's a fair guy. He gave the fatties big, beautiful tits and the skinnies little tiny niddlers. It's not my rule. If you don't like it, call him.
Implants, collagen, plastic, capped teeth, the fat sucked out, the hair extended, the nose fixed, the bush shaved.....These are not real women, alright? They are beauty freaks. And they make all us normal women with our wrinkles, our puckered boobs, and our cellulite feel somehow inadequate. Well I don't buy it, alright? But you guys think that if there's a chance in hell that you'll end up with one of these women, you don't give us real women anything approaching this commitment.
Guys, as a gender, have got to get a grip. Otherwise, the future of the human race is in jeopardy.
Michael from Japan writes:
My friends accuse me (rather accurately) for being a sap - for liking this 90's chick flick. But they are wrong about this movie. This movie is entertaining and sometimes fluffy, but more importantly it is real and timely. Amongst all the hype of the X-Gen, this movie boiled down our mood (all us kids who are still growing up) in a small town setting where the people were real. The slight plot is less important than the setting and the circumstances. Winter in small town Massachusetts, on the frozen lakes, and the plowed roads and small taverns - on the edge of early mid-life adulthood for yet another lost generation...the movie leaves you with a cold warm snow feeling of hope and sorrow for people in transition, that usually only a classic novel (like those by F. Scott or Hemingway) can give you.
Great Donno writes: "The emphasis of this movie can be placed in Kev's last words to Willy in the film, 'Stay Cool Man, Stay Cool Forever.' All of the male characters in this film with the possible exception of Moe, are trying to stay cool by refusing to grow up."
On the set with Premiere magazine.

Laura Romani's Journey Into Porn
I was listening to Howard Stern talking about The Masseuse one morning, and inspiration hit...
I moved out to LA to be an artist...
My parents were pretty strict with the TV, so a lot of the adult 70s shows were forbidden. I wasn't even allowed to watch Three's Company or Soap because of the homosexual innuendo - I didn't even realize the Village People were gay until I was a teenager!
I have been depressed this week. I'm talking depression with a capital D.

Scott Michael Esposito Interview
I call my advertiser (son of Michael Esposito of Gentlemen's Video) Wednesday morning.
Duke: "How did you get into the adult industry?"
Scott, born in 1971: "My dad has been in the industry [since 1977]... Five years ago, I started from the bottom [at Gentlemen's Video] and worked my way through. I did everything, from cleaning up, shipping, getting product, sales, accounts payable, accounts receivable... He had me do everything from top to bottom. Right now we're heading up DVDs. We do our own replication. We head up our own internet too."
Esposito sites include: Bossbitches2.com, Trannies2.com, Squirterz.com, Banginthebiway.com, GentsDVD.com, Sxxx.com, Rednail.com, KingDVD.com.
Duke: "Out of everything you've done in the industry, what have you enjoyed the most and the least?"
Scott: "I've enjoyed that I've known a lot of the people in the industry for a long time. They've known me since I was a kid. I have a good rapport with people who are higher-up in a lot of major companies. It makes it easier for us to get product from them and it helps us with sales. My least favorite thing was starting out and running around being a gopher. That was tough for me -- starting at the bottom.
"[Prior to porn,] I worked in the restaurant industry in New York City for 15 years.
"I've been around the adult industry pretty much my entire life. I knew it as a business. My dad always taught me that side of it. Anything I've gone into, I've always looked at it as a business. Dealing with people is basically the same [in any business].
"The hours in our industry are better than the hours in the restaurant industry. Growing up in New York, bars were open until 4am. Some nights you work until 5am and you've got to be back at 10am.
"I have a set lifestyle now. Monday through Saturday I'll work. I know I'll have a day off. I know I'll have my evenings free."
Duke: "This industry is easier to make a living at?"
Scott: "Definitely."
Duke: "Has anyone threatened your life within the industry?"
Scott laughs: "No."
Duke: "Have you dated anyone in the industry?"
Scott: "No."
Divorced, he's single.
Duke: "By what age did you realize what industry your father was working in?"
Scott: "Quite a young age.
"It makes it a lot easier for me. I know my father. We're not a fly-by-night company. But we keep under the radar as well because of the niches that we do. We don't do the so-called pretty girl stuff.
"I moved to Los Angeles in late 1998. I grew up in [Copiague, Long Island,] New York. I got married. My then-wife and I moved to Arizona in 1995. When we split up, I came right to LA. My father offered me an opportunity to learn inside-and-out... The technology was on the verge of changing with DVDs. I helped bring him along.
"Nothing surprises me in the industry. It's always been able to adapt."
Duke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"
Scott: "I always wanted to do what made me happy. That's what my mother and father taught me."
Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"
Scott chuckles. "An interesting bunch of characters. Rough-and-tumble. Street kids. Hung out all over New York. Never really got into a lot of trouble, knock on wood... I graduated. I got out. A lot of my friends didn't. A lot of them ended up in various places."
Duke: "Like prison?"
Scott: "Umm... I'd prefer to say that they ended up in various places. You can take it as that. It became evident, the older I got, that I wanted to move away because most of the people in my neighborhood lived in their parent's house until their parents retired. And they lived in that house and had kids. It isn't a bad thing. It was just something I knew I didn't want to do.
"It was an interesting mix of people and it taught me how to deal with a lot of situations early in life.
"My father moved to LA in June of 1976. I stayed in New York with my mother. My mother and father split up. I would see my father three times a year. I'd come out during the entire summer and during the holidays in December and April."
Duke: "What's the most amazing thing you've seen in the adult business?"
Scott: "When I first went to [CES] in Las Vegas. I was about 18. In one booth, you'd see Vanessa Del Rio and Hulk Hogan was three booths down. Around the way was Kareem Abdul Jabbar. It had a comic book vendor and movie stars and athletes and adult. You could have everything. I spent three days in awe, just walking around meeting everybody from porn stars to regular movie stars.
"I've always managed to get my dad to take me to the shows."
Duke: "What's your favorite kind of porn?"
Scott: "I definitely like pretty girls with pretty girls."
Duke: "Do you appear in Banginthebiway?"
Scott: "I do not."
Duke: "It sure looks like you."
Scott: "I'm going to have to send Rob [Spallone] down to your office.
"How did you become such good friends with Rob? How did you stay such good friends with Rob for all these years?"
Duke: "He enjoys the drama I create. He collects people who amuse him. He collects retarded people, homeless people..."
Scott: "He's the only guy I know who can be in the Daily News on the front page in an article. If there's anything about the adult industry, there's Rob. It's like he has every reporter in his back pocket.
"There are a few people in this industry who are genuine caring people. When you know these people, like my father, Rob, Vinny [DeStephano], for a long time, you know what their character is. People look at our industry and they don't see what kind of people we are. They just look at it as pornography. But we're family. I try to have dinner with my dad every Sunday. When I tell people what I do, they look at me. But when they get to know me, [they see] that I'm just a regular guy. I stay out of trouble."
Duke: "You're single and ready to mingle and Banginthebiway."
Scott: "Stop with that. I'm going to send you midget transsexual porn every day."
Why is there a "space for rent" in front of the VCA building?
Anon writes: "From what I understand, LFP moved everybody to Beverly Hills. LFP is no longer leasing that space. No drama there... They moved people, people quit. Some people are still quitting or at least talking about quitting. Brought in new "management," some smart and some not-so-smart."
D-Money Show Features Worm Eating
Joel, an employee at the Split Infinity studio in San Diego (it was repeatedly said on the show that the kid is 18, but Chris at Split Infinity says the lad is really 22), eats worms and drinks beer.
Brothers Darren (D$) and Kevin Blatt (KB) provide the play-by-play and cheer Joel on.
D$ drinks a Corona while doing the show.
The show streamed live over the net.
The first guest was Eric "Red Eyes" from Adult.com.
They talk about the next Webmaster Access show in Montreal.
KB wonders why the first thing adult webmasters do when they hit a town, especially a town like Montreal with lots of beautiful and comparatively inexpensive hookers, is buy a blowjob or lapdance.
Next guest is Alex Helmy of XBiz.com. Everybody gives props to XBiz World magazine. They trash AVN Online mag.
KB tells Helmy to hire Tom Hymes (departing AVN Online editor). Alec won't say anything negative about AVN.
Hot chicks Lyra (facing a long jail sentence for drug dealing) and her friend Tamara watch, drink alcohol, and cheer.
D$, Lyra, Tamara Lyra, Tamara Lyra Lyra KB, D$, Lyra Joel with his worms Joel chugs a beer while KB's cousin Adam looks on Lyra, Tamara Lyra shows cleavage to raise money for her legal defense Tamara, Lyra Adam Lyra
Lyra and KB are starting up the website www.freelyra.com to raise money for her legal defense. It will be a test of her morals to see what she will do for money.
KB has never had sex with Lyra. She may deal drugs but she doesn't dress slutty, won't flash, and doesn't sleep around.
Before Lyra's latest legal troubles, she was a poor student at community college. She wanted to major in "media studies" and she wrote a lot of scripts, all abysmally spelled and punctuated.
KB relates a story about Pussyman aka David Christopher who tells KB, at Paul Fishbein's house, how much he was into eating ---. David says he doesn't go to the Las Vegas show because he doesn't like shaking hands with so many dirty pornographers.
D$: "We love YNOT Bob's show. We don't listen."
D$ asks Lyra: "Will your parole officer permit you to come to Phoenix?"
Lyra: "That is a negative... I'd have to drive."
The show started at 1:20pm and finished at 3:58pm.
KB said it best: "This is like a retarded Jerry Lewis telethon."
At 4pm, I call KB.
KB: "You watch?"
Duke: "For almost three hours."
KB: "Was it pretty funny?"
Duke: "It was vulgar. Lyra looked good. She showed cleavage."
KB: "Where did Lyra go?"
Duke: "She had to go see her parole officer.
"Are you always going to do a three-hour show?"
KB: "No. We just wanted to test out the technology."
Duke: "Who did Larry Flynt's voice?"
KB: "That was Jim Hemley. He also did [the black guy] DeWrong."
KB tells Lyra: "Duke said you looked good."
Lyra: "Hi. I'm ready to convert, baby."
Duke: "How did you like all those men trying to get you to take your clothes off?"
Lyra: "Good times. It always is.
"I haven't talked to you for so long, I actually miss you. Sometimes I hate you. Sometimes I love you."
Duke: "Are you still working for the mortgage company?"
Lyra: "I'm helping a friend of mine start a mortgage company. We've been open for six weeks. I'm a loan officer. I've loaned out a million dollars."
Duke: "How's KB been treating you?"
Lyra: "He's a button pusher but he's cool. He's constantly saying things to piss me off."
Reminds me of the falling out between KB and Gary Kremen. It lasted about a year. Gary was convinced that KB treated women badly.
Lyra: "Tamara! You whore. This whole time I'm trying to get Tamara to show her boobies. The minute the camera's off, she's showing boobies. Little Spanish hooker. Go back to whore island!"
Tamara laughs in the background.
Lyra: "I like you in your white speeds and yellow walkman. I have that picture."
Duke: "I almost forgot about that."
Lyra: "My girlfriend's getting all slutty now. All it takes is a couple of beers and she's rubbing her braless breasts over everybody.
"She's Jewish. Hold on. Tell him Yom Kippur. Meshugeneh.
"Don't say that. It means jackass."
Tamara: "I'm not Jewish. I'm Spanish."
