Johnny claims naked women don't make a strip club great; disc jockeys do. "If we're doing our job, you won't notice us," Johnny says, taking a drag from a Marlboro Light. "Rarely will you find someone who will say, 'Hey, that DJ is great!' But we're the ones who create the general atmosphere. We're like ringmasters. We lead the whole room. No one in there has any clue what's going on. From the entertainers to the bar backs to the customers, it's a room full of followers."
"We're like the guys at the airport with those big cones, directing the planes," Platypus adds.
"Rapid-fire text messaging -- it's gotta be Christina," he says, referring to a petite, blond, Romanian-born exotic dancer he's dating. His girlfriends, mostly strippers or nude models, come and go, he asserts.
Comcast Could Soon Roll Out 200Mbps Service
PHILADELPHIA - Comcast Corp. has studied ways to boost the company's broadband Internet service to about 200 Mbps from its current 4 Mbps, CEO Brian Roberts said Tuesday.
Urban Legends Video writes on JBM:
Only if the site's upload capacity is there. Who's gonna have the cpacity to service a whole site worth of customers each of whom is downloading at that kind of rate? Even now with a cable modem at around 4 MB/s, it's almost never "my end" which is the limitting factor on downloads. How much would/will it cost "our" end to match this type of capacity? In addition, won't this lead to surfers just joining sites on their trials, raping them of content, and then cancelling?
Larry Flynt Losing It?
Terri Redor from The Floating World writes:
I thought I'd drop you a note just in case you weren't listening to Randi Rhodes show on http://airamericaradio.com/ this afternoon: Larry Flynt was Randi's guest for about half an hour, and he sounded as coherent as ever - maybe more so.
Wait - my mistake - there's not a chance you were listening to THAT network....
If there's any confusion at LFP Enterprises, it isn't because Larry is "out of it", unless that means that he's simply removed himself from the tedium of running a company day to day. Anybody who eats lunch every day at the Four Seasons and makes regular, topical appearances in the media doesn't sound as if he's completely lost his marbles.
A caveat about http://airamericaradio.com/: listen to the shows of the the radio veterans on the network; avoid the shows hosted by celebrities like Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo. Celebrities suck on the radio. Celebrities suck at pretty much anything except their day jobs.
I'll be pissed if you don't post this on your site. Remember what happened the last time I caught you in the parking lot.
Oh yeah, you gave me a ride to my car.
Thanks!
Adam Redford Calls
2:57pm. "This is Lars. Adam Redford. The guy Craig Valentine is libeling all over the place."
Duke: "He said you took his wife out on a boat and tried to stick a fish up her vagina?"
Adam: "Total lie. He was there. It was a boy-girl shoot. She was catching fish while we were having sex. There was no attempt to put any fish in her vagina."
Duke: "Did he ever pull a gun on you?"
Adam: "He never pulled a gun on me. He wouldn't have the nerve to pull a gun on me.
"The disarming incident. They weren't married at the time. Every time someone went on a shoot with me, he was there. At the end of both days, the two of them were happy, well-paid, and there were no problems. They took pictures from the airboat ride and used them as promotional things in their booth.
"They have pictures of her standing in the snake booth pouring water over herself out on the Everglades.
"This whole thing stems from a picky little beef which happened much later. She wanted me to give her my videos at a price below cost. I was willing to give her wholesale but not go below cost. She wasn't even in the video. Eversince then, they have backstabbed me at every possible opportunity. I've just let it go because everybody here in South Florida gets the same treatment from them. If you talk to the other producers, PhotoGregg, ZMaster, IcyPorn, I could go on and on.
"I'm involved in a furor about the hunting of a buffalo. He sees some opportunity to jump on the bandwagon and make up some outrageous lies."
Duke: "Did you stick an oar in a woman's vagina so that she got splinters and had to go to the hospital?"
Adam: "No. That's a lie. There was not even an oar on the boat with that particular woman."
Duke: "Has any woman got injured on any of your shoots so she had to go to the hospital?"
Adam: "No. That never happened."
Duke: "How have you reacted to all this furor and AVN editorial?"
Adam: "I just went off on YNOTradio.com two hours ago. They had Al Goldstein, Heidi Fleiss and me.
"I replied to Mike Ramone at AVN in a written statement: That we broke no laws. Yes, there was a sex scene done after the kill of a buffalo. The buffalo was killed in a completely legal hunt. The buffalo is not an endangered species. The buffalo was killed in a humane way according to all game laws. The sex scene was a normal boy-girl scene. There was no bestiality."
Duke: "Were you surprised by the furor?"
Adam: "Not really. It wasn't my plan to create the furor. I used to live in California. I know that there are a lot of animal rightists there. It doesn't surprise me that the head honchos at AVN are animal rightists. They have reacted that we are going to self-police porn because we think that this gives porn a bad name.
"That's clearly an infringement on the First Amendment. The government has nothing to say on the legality of my video. These are the personal views of a lot of people at AVN and in the porn community in Southern California reacting to something that is new and shocking to their sensibility.
"In my view, there's nothing illegal or immoral about it. That's the way I choose to express my art.
"For people to say that we are going to try to shut you down. That's saying that us pornographers are going to try to go against the First Amendment, us AVN people, who every issue have all sorts of gushing reviews about double anal and all kinds of wild LA-style porn. That's ok. But if you have sex with a dead animal in the background, that's going too far."
I read back to Adam some of Craig's accusations.
Adam: "It is true that while we were out there, we caught a small alligator. I have a picture of her holding a small alligator. There's a trick you can do with a small alligator where you turn him on his back, rub his belly, and he goes to sleep.
"It did not harm her in any way. Craig was sitting there watching the whole thing from 15-feet away, laughing about it and egging her on. 'Don't worry honey. He won't bite you.'
"Disarming him. On that shoot, he came to the boat carrying a 9mm. Being a city boy, he thought that going out into the Everglades with me and this redneck who owned the airboat, he probably felt afraid. No one else had any gun. He started to brag about the gun. I said, hey, we are going out into a wild life preserve. It's not hunting season. You'll have to leave the gun in the car. He did. And that was the disarming incident."
Duke: "Did you send emails where you wanted to book Summer for a shoot where you sliced the throat of a pig and had sex with her while the pig ran around dying, smearing blood all over her?"
Adam: "No. We have done several shoots that involved the killing of pigs. We've never allowed a pig to suffer. We kill them in the quickest, most humane way possible."
Duke: "Did any of your girls in any of your shoots get attacked by a snake?"
Adam: "No. A poisonous snake has never even been seen on one of my expeditions. I've never caught one and displayed one. I've discussed that idea where a girl would interact with a snake. I discussed that with Summer Haze and others. It's never been done."
Duke: "Craig says you left a five-year-old kid on the shore by himself while you had sex in a boat with his mother?"
Adam: "No. Never. I've never allowed a kid on any of my sets. And leaving him on the floor? No.
"Craig lives in this imaginary world where he envisions he has these macho showdowns. In real life, he cowers and hides away."
Duke: "How did AVN treat you when you called them?"
Adam: "I did not call AVN because AVN launched into me without any attempt to contact me first. I felt betrayed. The same guy, Mike Ramone, who's written all this stuff against me, is the same guy I submitted my first video to -- Nude Erotic Fishing 1. He delegated the review and gave it three-and-a-half stars. There were scenes in there that were bloody. The killing of a shark. When you bring a shark into a boat, you have to kill it or it will chomp on your feet. The shark was eaten."
Duke: "What they condemn now they wrote glowingly about 18-months ago."
Adam: "I don't expect everybody to love this fetish. The internet allows a small group of people scattered around the globe to satisfy their fantasies. I don't agree necessarily with everything that my customers like. However, I check the laws carefully (cruelty to animals, bestiality, hunting, fishing). I know the ethics that go behind the law. There's no law against an animal running around dying slowly, but we don't permit that. It's put down as quickly as we can do it."
Duke: "How often does someone end up eating the animal?"
Adam: "One hundred percent."
Duke: "Then there is no difference between this and eating meat you buy in a store."
Adam: "I know. But suburban 21-Century people are not in tune with that.
"Before we take girls out on hunts with a wild animal, we give them tests. Daisy Duxx and Ashley Gracie were given situations where animals were killed in a controlled situation. We could see whether they were emotionally able to handle the situation. In Ashley's case, it was a billy goat that has been the subject of all the criticism. The billy goat was old, had a large tumor and a broken hip. The owners had planned to put him down anyway. The place was like an open-air zoo. I brought in Ashley. She tried. She did not do well. He had to be finished off. She said, this is not for me. We said, fine Ashley. Here's your money for today. Thank you for coming out. We appreciate your efforts. We realize it is not for everybody.
"The test for Daisy was that she had to kill a chicken. The minute that chicken was dead, and it died quickly, we plucked it and threw it in a pot and ate it for dinner and it was delicious.
"Somebody who grows up in Coral Gables or Miami or LA is never exposed to the things normal people take for granted -- hunting and killing animals on the farm for meat. Just the concept of that drives people nuts. That's their hangups. Not mine.
"The fetish people I have are into it. We don't torture anything. We don't break laws. We kill stuff. The girls are naked. We may have sex afterwards.
"If you think about the history of the human race, we've only been civilized and not hunting for about 5,000 years of the 500,000 years we've been around. For a lot of that time, there was definitely something erotic about a nice fresh carcass of meat. It got you a lot more pussy back in those days than a fat bank account and a Mercedes.
"I've been a hunter and a fisherman all my life. I've hunted animals all over the US, Canada and Africa. Now I got into porn and decided to combine the two [interests]. I did some homework before I did this.
"I didn't seek to release it upon the Southern California scene. It was a screw-up. Eli should've briefed the girls not to discuss but discuss it they did. The cat got out of the bag. It's a tempest in a teapot. It comes down to an emotional issue. Some people hate hunting and some people don't.
"I realize what the format of the boards is. Anyone can say what they want. I kept a copy of what Craig said. I'll have some attorneys take a look at whether or not he libeled me and make a judgment about whether or not it is worth my while to do anything about it.
"Regardless of this, Craig for years now has been badmouthing me and stabbing me in the back, as he has numerous other people in the industry. If this is the incident that it takes to put a stop to it, that's what I'll do."
Sexy Outdoor Sports Responds to AVN.com Editorial
AVN runs the response from Adam Redford in full.
I call Dion Wednesday afternoon. "I'm out at one of my jobs," he says. "Laying cement."
Duke: "So you have nothing to do with that new website pornogossip.com?"
Dion: "No. I love to read the damn things. I still miss it. I wish I didn't sign that non-compete. Any time you have a question about me, you can call me. I have nothing to do with porno. I've met with lawyers and my brother's [David Joseph] got me my the balls. And he's not willing to budge. It's amazing. I've tried my hardest. I want to go back. I want to produce. I want to start my own company again. I want no part of Red Light or Platinum."
Duke: "I heard you were coming back."
Dion: "I'd love to come back. A lot of people have approached me. I see Paul Fishbein every day in the gym. He knows I want to come back. My brother is not willing to make a deal with me. I told my brother I'd be willing to forfeit a lot of the money they pay me. They're not willing to do it. I think Vince [Voyeur, head of production at Red Light] has a lot to do with it. Vince is not the greatest guy in the world.
"I'm making money. That's never been my problem. My problem is that I want to get back in the hustle."
Duke: "Were you at the AVN Expo in Las Vegas [in January 2005]?"
Dion: "No. I don't go there. I stay away. I needed a vacation. My brother's doing great and I wish him well. He works his ass off. I just wish he was more considerate of my views. They wouldn't even be in that position if it weren't for me. That was my company."
Duke: "How long is the non-compete?"
Dion: "There's no amount of time attached to it. I can get back in in five years. Five years is bad for someone like me. You lose a lot of your contacts. As you know, the industry is changing every day. Different distributors. Different formats. It would be harder than ever starting a company unless you really had some money behind you and you really knew somebody.
"When I started Red Light, the only people I had to compete with were Anabolic and Evil Angel. I just did what Anabolic was doing but did it better. Now there are million assholes doing the same thing as Red Light is doing. Is anybody making product that much better than anyone else? I don't think so. They're all using the same girls."
Duke: "What do you miss the most about it?"
Dion: "I'm just a guy from the streets. I always liked to hustle. Hustling is my thing. I don't need the money. I just like to make the deal. I don't have to work for the rest of my life. I get a certain income from them. I've got properties. But you have to do something or your mind goes bad.
"I could sit here and watch 20 people pour cement on a foundation. What am I actually doing? I like calling distributors and selling them new product. I like seeing new girls come in.
"But hey, I put myself in this position. I've got no one else to blame but myself. I take responsibility."
TEMPE, Ariz. - CCBill Vice President Tom Fisher on Tuesday denied that the online payment processor is planning to exclude sites that feature watersports and violent content.
On Tuesday, Adult Video News reported that the Tempe, Ariz.-based credit card processor "is no longer accepting new sites which contain or market person-to-person exchanges of bodily fluids. This mainly pertains to urine/urination, blood, or overall violent scenes or depictions."
If it is not T. J. DeReda and the Vertigo crew. There are allegations about Tina Fiore (former AVN sales girl and fag hag) and Skeeter Kerkove. Can anyone confirm this PG-exlusive report about Skeeter?
Randi Wright posted she was in Costa Rica. Any connection to the people writing this new site?
I thought Dion Giarusso might be behind this new site. But he emails me and says he's not. I spoke to him on the phone. He says he's working on construction and has nothing to do with the porn industry.
A Gentleman Never Discloses Who Sucked Him Off
A gentleman never comes in a lady's eyes.
While he knows that a lady gets pleasure out of pleasuring him, and he will occasionally increase the intensity of that pleasure by gentle force, a gentleman will never choke a woman on his cock.
A gentleman knows that it is considered good manners to have an unopened toothbrush on hand for his lady friend, in the event that she should like to freshen up after eating his ass.
Breeding needn't amount to priggishness. On the contrary, a gentleman knows that good old-fashioned manners will likely increase his social engagements, once word gets out that he is not one to splooge and tell. But I beg the reader, for the sake of tradition and all that is decent, to remember that a true gentleman does not ever, under any circumstances, go ass to mouth.
9:09am, Wednesday.
MJ: "All that s--- that they are saying is false. I'm going to post that [$1,500] check up. Phasion ain't no pimp.
"I wasn't two hours late to the set [of Under Pimp Arrest].
"Drugs? Yeah, I smoke weed. Snoop Dogg smokes weed.
"To prove that I came up with Pimpfomation, ask these guys what 'pimpfomation' means.
"The reason Martin Del Toro was screaming was that his cell phone came up missing.
"Yeah, my bitch Amenah got paid $1,200 for her scene. Angel Eyes, Capri, ain't none of them got s--- on my ho. My ho ain't even been in the porn industry long and she got more than them hos. For my ho not to be gorgeous, she got singled out. Motherf------ pay for her to go here and there.
"Phasion ain't no pimp. A pimp does not run around trying to find someone to do this and do that, like he's trying to do. A pimp is beyond the blade. Pimps work tracks. I ain't see that nigger at no balls besides filming. I ain't seen him at no Players Ball. I've got five trophies from this pimping game. International. All the PIs know me. He ain't got a lick of diamonds, a lick of gators, a lick of mynx and fox.
"The only thing that Pete Cash did for Pimpfomation was edit the movie.
"Bishop is not in Pimpfomation at all. He's only in [Under Pimp Arrest] one time and this is the last one he's going to be in.
"Pete, yeah, it was $3,000 of the budget money that came up missing. Four hundred dollars in the envelope [used in the Amenah Blu scene] also came up missing."
Duke: "Were you intoxicated and walking around with a bottle of Jack Daniels?"
MJ: "Come on, man. How am I going to be intoxicated? The house we were at was Ariel's [off Mulholland Drive]. Pete Cash, Amenah Blu and I go to check out the house. Ariel has a big whole thing full of weed. Do I want some of this? Hell yeah. Light it up.
"Did I drink any Jack on set? No. What did we have on set? We couldn't even get liquor. We were smoking weed.
"When we went to the gas station, that was just to buy a pack of cigarettes for my boy T-Mack, who brought his ho with him. And if I did have Jack, who says it is against the law for me to drink Jack? Jack is my baby. Remy XO. I drink that. Jack doesn't make you drunk. Weed don't make you... S---, ain't no shame on mine. If smoking blunt is against the law, then they should've took Snoop Dog to jail.
"Ariel blazed up a joint. We smoked weed with Ariel. He's sipping on his drink.
"I went to Stuart and showed him the budget -- 'This is how much money of yours came up missing. $3000.'
........
"Pete Cash wanted to slide this other bitch (Stacey Cash) $1100 to stick their dick in her ass for five minutes.
"T-Mack is my pimp partner. He's locked down right now.
"I'm sick of this bulls---. This is the last time you're going to hear from me. I don't know what the purpose of all this drama is. I'm new at this porn s---. I don't know how the drama works.
"My Pimpfomation manual was aired on BET (Black Entertainment Television) by the one and only Michael Coylar. For six months straight. I wrote that manual. I sold it to all kinds of stores. [Certain store] bought five of them. That was in effect before the movie was thought up.
"I don't understand why everybody is trying to go against me. I'm in competition with myself. I ain't trying to prove nothing to nobody.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of this?"
Duke: The purpose of what I do is to report on a good story, to write a column that people will read and enjoy. What motivates people to speak out, I don't know. Readers find this stuff entertaining.
MJ: "You can call the pimps. They will tell you there is no pimp named Phasion. I know all the PIs. I hang with Bishop Don Magic Juan. I hang with Good Games, Kenny Red, Philmore Slim. I hang with cats. Somebody just called me from Las Vegas about the ball they're having. I was well known before I was in the [porn] industry.
"Why has nobody dropped out a real pimp movie? I'm the first pimp that broke through the porn industry. Think about it, man. Nobody does it like me."
WHICH WAY DOES YOUR MORAL COMPASS POINT?
James DiGiorgio writes on www.simplyjimmyd.com:
I DO have a problem with the snuff-film content produced by Sexy Outdoor Sports. But c'mon people, I rarely hear a word from any of you regarding other issues that should be higher on your "concern" list.
As an example, I'll got out on a limb and guess that more than a few of you don't even know where Darfur is much less what's going on there. A hunted, killed, and defiled water buffalo? How about a couple of hundred thousand hunted, killed, and defiled men, women, and children butchered in acts of genocide?
And in a comparatively trivial example, I'll personalize this a bit: I've been publicly slammed by a variety of (porn) people from the late Jim Holliday to AVN Editor Mike Ramone for shooting a commercial warning parents of the potential dangers of pornography to their YOUNG CHILDREN! Why? Because they didn't/don't like the beliefs of the XXX Church people I allied with to shoot that commercial.
With these Sexy Outdoor Sports people, AVN finally took a stand on some pornographer's content, expressing their concerns because they believe these animal-snuff-film jerk-offs "tarnish" our image? AVN has also called for their censure and wants them shunned! So how about AVN displaying some genuine backing when someone or something improves our image? (i.e., when that improvement come from something other than what AVN initially approved or officially sanctioned or it comes from someone other than those on AVN's payroll or from one of AVN's many sycophants.) Oh! You think I might be partially refering to myself in this paragraph? You're right. I am. To some extent.
Which brings me to Mike South who has often written about the potentially dangerous issues-health and safety issues-- surrounding quasi-sexual acts and practices that lately seem to permeate some genres in this business yet seem to have the endorsement and praise of so many. But neither AVN nor too many of you seem to give a flying f--- about any of that. If you did, you'd take a public stand on some of these issues just like you have regarding the hunting and killing and f---ing-next-to a water buffalo.
I'm not saying people shouldn't be concerned about issues like respect for, and the humane treatment of, animals, but how about getting your priorities straight? Quit creating an inflated tempest in a not-all-that-significant teapot over s--- that, in a larger context, ain't nearly as important as many other social, moral, and political issues that we all face and that our voices can impact.
Wet Towels Can Kill Your Marriage
Leaving a wet towel on the bathroom floor may seem a minor issue but it could wreck a relationship. Scientists have identified a list of the most annoying habits that can cause rifts between couples.
The study of minor irritations in domestic life has found that people can almost become "allergic" to a partner's foibles. Failure to control that shrill laugh might end in marriage-destroying fury. Among the most annoying habits are failing to hang up towels, leaving a new loo roll on top of the empty one and using a fork as a back-scratcher.
Cringe-inducing endearments such as "babykins" can also cause an adverse reaction. When repeated, a couple can reach snapping point.
Many of the habits detailed in the study, published in the academic journal Personal Relationships, are the familiar fibre of male-female interaction. They include nose-picking, burping and tatty clothes in men and lateness, verbosity and demands for reassurance about clothing in women.
The study, funded by the US government's health research arm and conducted at Louisville University, charted the grim "deromanticisation" of more than 160 relationships. It also compared what was termed "social allergen frequency" (nasty habits) with relationship satisfaction and failure in a further 274 people. The report, Social Allergies in Romantic Relationships, aims to establish the nature of the link between nasty habits and nasty divorce. Some of the issues raised will provide bored couples with a new range of things to complain about.
NIGGLES THAT CAN GET NASTY
* Fabricating dinner party anecdotes
* Public use of babyish terms of endearment
* Displays of fear by male at horror film
* Taking excessive volumes of luggage on holiday
* Making partner spend far longer than they want shopping
* Laughing at own jokes when others do not
* Complaining about partner's clothes
* Changing preset controls on car stereo
* Failing to change loo roll
* Leaving wet towels around
* Criticising any of the above traits in partner
It Was Only Eighteen-Months Ago That AVN Was Promoting SexyOutdoorSports.com
On May 16, 2005, AVN editorialized against Adam Redford's company (the story was broken 5/12 by KSEXradio.com and Gene Ross on Adultfyi.com):
Questions about the morality of the legalized hunting of animals aside, combining that practice with pornography, as a south Florida company called Sexy Outdoor Sports has done, is repugnant, depraved and inexcusable.
On December 29, 2003, Scott Ross was praising them in AVN:
"I'm talking about pulling the fish out of the water, hitting him on the head, slicing off a piece and dunking it in the wasabi," Adam Redford, the director of the video, told AVN.com
Redford says there is a market for this fishing fetish. "There are several different groups of people I market to. One is the sort of good ol' boy, all-American, red-blooded fisherman type that goes out on fishing trips with the guys and wish there was some babes around. They like to play and they're the ones that like the hardcore sex and the nude pretty girls catching fish," Redford said.
"Then we have the European customers, mainly German, that like stuff like the Wild Amazon Babe and the shark. There's a lot of action and particularly a lot of blood in that. It's legal, and we're just fishing. If the German's find that stimulating for some reason, so be it," Redford said.
Redford is a captain of a fishing boat that operates in the Florida Keys area. He started a calendar featuring women in bikinis posing with fish three years ago. Customers of the calendar indicated they'd like to see more and stronger material- and Redford provided it for them.
Redford's next video will include a fishing trip down the Amazon, and after that - a hunting video. Redford doesn't want to give away all the detail - but he hunting video will feature the return of the Wild Amazon Babe.
He also sells a number of videos through his Website SexyOutdoorSports.com. A DVD version of Nude and Erotic Fishing is now available.
Distributors may order through his Website, or by calling 1-800-632-0394.
What exactly is the difference between what AVN once praised and now condemns? Both practices revolve around the eroticizing of animal killing.
When I read this article at avn.com about the agency that says they are ending ties with Sexy Outdoor Sports because the girls don't like having sex by the dead buffalo they killed, I asked myself, "Didn't the agency know the assignment in the first place, and send the girls any way?" To come out publicly and smear Sexy Outdoor Sports for something the agent knew about in the first place smacks of a hidden agenda. I've been made aware in the past that Thomas Ely (his real name) will do this to producers and models for reasons that are personal and have nothing to do with professional ethics. Furthermore, this is a gentleman who solicited agency services to models and producers on the premise of 3 offices in three major cities, when he was actually operating out of the back of a garage.
PopStarVids writes:
And the AVN article also said he has or runs a "talent agency." Does anyone know what his agency license number is? I would like to know if he really has one since I am going to file a complaint regarding animal cruelty.
Sexy Outdoor Sports Wants Scenes in Blood Phil Owensmouth (who is that?) says kill whores, not animals.
This agency does not hold a license to operate in Florida, as reflected in the State of Florida licensing database.
I suspect the 'severing of ties' with them by this agency is due to word that there would be a negative backlash against the models and agency for participation in this shoot. As a result, the agency went public with the severing of ties announcement to give the perception they are disgusted too. Fact is, they knew what the shoot involved and I think they are trying to save face. Some agents, however, are pimp-like rather than real management professionals. If there is going to be a troubleshooting of public and political perception of the porn industry, I would think it would be appropriate to provide at least some accountability through licensing enforcement, which is almost non-existent in Florida.
I think you are right about the conflict of interest, but the other models probably don't know him well enough to know he does this. In the reverse, he could very well lead his girlfriend to believe she's getting first consideration, when in fact she's not. Contacts Tom Ely once maintained in the northeast, don't have good things to say. I suspect that his new girlfriend in Florida has credit cards and other resources he cannot get himself, but that he needs to operate some aspects of operations. This was the situation in Massachusetts with his previous girlfriend.
Some people in the northeast have a lot to say about him, and it's not good. People were made promises and invested professional time on alleged projects that they now believe may have been more sales fluff than reality. He's considered a salesman who tricks people to give him what he wants based on inflated presentations.
Male models involved with that agency have played second fiddle to Ely's desires to have sex with certain models. As a result, they get less work. Certainly there is a conflict of interest there as well. His 'agency' is alleged to be used more as a vehicle for self-gratification than real management services, and it takes too much time for new models to realize this before they recognize they have wasted their time.
Ashley Gracie and Daisy Duxx
Here's the KSEXradio.com thread about the porn-buffalo killing. Wankus of KSEXradio.com writes:
I thought I had heard it all. I thought I had seen the sickest of sick. I mean, come on, I've had Max Hardcore on my radio show with BiSexual Britni pissing on a girl who seemed to be retarded. I watched Alexandra Silk put two of our microphones inside her pussy and ass while we played bongos on her ass to the music of Blue Man Group. I saw Michele Raven get fisted by Katie Morgan while Tony Eveready fisted her ass only to pull out loose change and car keys. I listened to Nacho Vidal brag about learning how to eat pussy from his sisters who would let him demonstrate on them. I have seen and heard some really f---ed up s--- hosting a sex talk radio show.
The other night was a topper however. Not because a guest did something really freaky, but because two guests bragged about something so inhumane, so disgusting and made me the most uncomfortable that I think I've ever been hosting my radio show on KSEXradio.com.
Daisy Duxxx and Ashley Gracie are two relatively new girls shooting porn. They're not really all that "hot" but they are cute in their own right and somewhat sexy. They're based in Florida where a lot of amateur porn is shot and they made their first trip to Porn Valley, California, as a way of introducing themselves and possibly expanding their adult shooting to the West Coast.
What better way to let the public know you exist in a sex themed business then an appearance on KSEX, right? Well, most of the time, yes. This time, I think these girls may have made a huge mistake.
When I don't know a star or when a guest doesn't have a lot of history or credits, I find myself asking similar questions nearly every interview. Not that I don't have the creativity to give all the guests different interviews but even with a lot of the same questions, I nearly always get different and interesting answers. On the night in question, I was going through my normal question and answer routine only to be blown away by one of the answers by these girls.
While I don't remember the exact set up, in an interview with Daisy Duxxx, she volunteered information about a shoot she recently enjoyed shooting. And it was a real shooting folks.
In the filming she described by a company named Sexy Outdoor Sports, she explained that she was hired to go on an Indian reservation in Florida, take a shotgun and hunt and shoot a water buffalo. After the production company filmed her killing the animal, they set up cameras around the dead animal where she then performed a sex scene. I was so shocked by this statement that I started laughing, figuring it was a joke.
It was no joke. Duxxx even went on to brag about how she climbed up on the animal and took a piss on it's balls. She was making these claims and laughing about it.
Ya know what? That's some really f---ed up s---.
In moving along as quickly as possible, I began interviewing her friend Ashley. Guess what? This bitch shot for that crappy company too. She was required to shoot an old Billy goat and f--- near it. But guess what? The Billy goat didn't die. So, as a part of the movie, she had to get a "nine", put her foot on it's neck and pop a cap in it's head...then go f--- next to it's carcass.
Is your stomach churning yet? This is not some twisted fabricated story here folks. These bitches are for real. This company is for real. I don't know how the hell it could be legal, but it IS going on and it has to stop.
My sexy hottie, Tyler Faith sent Daisy a little love note. It read:
Daisy Duxxx:
This is Tyler Faith. I've been an adult star and contract girl for five years. You may remember me at the studio last night. I'm Wankus' girlfriend and I came by to hang out because I "USUALLY" enjoy watching his show and meeting his guests. After watching your interview, I must say I have never been so disgusted in my whole career in porn. The fact that you can brag about killing animals, having sex next to their dead bodies and pissing on them shows the kind of scum that has saturated this business and gives more reason for our government and mainstream America to look badly upon this industry that has always been good to many of us.
I am a member of PETA and a devote animal lover who cannot believe that someone hasn't taken you into the woods, hunted you down and shot you with your twisted mentality and tasteless career decisions. If Wankus didn't hold me back in his office last night I would have come into the green room and ripped your f---ing throat out. I hope for your sake that we don't cross paths again and it has just become my mission to make everyone aware of that company you worked for and shut them down. I will also be contacting as many porn valley producers, directors and company execs that I know to let them know what kind of scum you and your friends are and that they should avoid hiring you at all costs.
Better line up a lot of work in Florida scummy, cause you're not going to be welcome in LA once many of the people in this business learn the sick and cruel fun you like to have just to pay your rent at the expense of innocent living creatures.
f--- off and may your plane crash on the way home,
Tyler Faith

--
It wasn't just Tyler. The porn community as a whole is up in arms about this, as they should be.
Sure there's bigger issues pressing the world, but Sexy Outdoor Sports, Daisy Duxxx, Ashley Gracie and others like them need to be sent a message that their twisted idea of what is "good porn" is not going to be allowed to go on.
In closing, to all parties involved, I'd like to release this professional statement:
"f--- OFF AND DIE!"
Thank you
My opinion (and I've been a vegetarian my entire life):
Most people need to feel outraged about something. If you don't feel outraged about something important, you will get upset about something trivial. That pornographers are getting so outraged over the animal killing of SexyOutdoorSports primarily shows that their moral compasses are broken. There are many things in the industry worthy of more indignation than this.
For porn girls in particular, excessive attachment to animals (and animal rights activism) is a way to assuage their basic female need to nurture, which is most healthfully satisfied by having children.
This episode reflects an emptiness in the porn soul.
Smelly Monkey writes: "It does seem strange that this is getting more attention [within the industry] then the girl who got snuffed out a few months ago did."
JamesN writes:
Porn people are weird - I'm convinced it's they view animal-rights as their only chance at showing they have some moral compass. They've blown their credibility with humans, animals may be smarter than nacho, but probably don't look at the rest of them as totally subhuman. For some porn chicks, animals may be the only thing with a hearbeat and warm blood that doesn't try to hurt, manipulate or take advantage of them. Or it could be a cover-up for becoming addicted to sex with German Shepards, since we know most of them have done an internet scene with one from the spam headers we get.
Smelly Monkey writes:
Of course most women in porn love animals, for the reason you mentioned, unconditional love, it won't ask wheres its been and with who, wheres the money, hurt them physically or mentally and will always give it the attention they need when they need it. Regardless of the selfish reasons the girls like animals shouldn't discount people killing them for no good reason other then just because they can.
2257 Changes - What Are Porn Studios/Talent Doing?
Mutt writes on ADT in July of 2004:
I do biz with a lot of webmasters and it appears to me 95% of them are ignorant of the draconian changes in the 2257 law coming up shortly or are going to bury their heads in the sand. What are the LA movie studios doing? I've seen very little written about what the studios or porn talent are thinking.
Are porn girls aware that their privacy is going to be put at risk by Ashcroft's new changes? That a studio that licenses its DVDs to web companies will have to give anybody who licenses a DVD copies of your model id's. Does this also apply to video store operators, both brick and mortar stores and online retailers?
Also if you read the new 2257 it's very vague about talent from outside the US. It's possible if you read the thing literally that American companies will not be able to use European or Canadian talent for that matter. Nobody seems to have a clue about that part of it, it may just have been worded badly. The changes are more directed at the Internet but still changes must be made by the movie studios, especially those who run sites of their own or license/sell content.
Pete Cash Interview
I get a phone call at 9:26 pm Tuesday from Pete Cash, who's been doing post-production in porn since 1995. He's from Hungary. He was the executive producer on the Smash Pictures' movie Under Pimp Arrest.
Pete: "We met Mr. Johnson when Pimpfomation was made. We did the post-production, editing, and DVD authoring. I met him a couple of times. I didn't have any bad impression about the guy. But reading this article [my earlier interview with Mr. Johnson] is bad. Let me set the record straight.
"It was $400 that was stolen, not $3,000. We didn't have time to create fake money. It was changing hands in the scene as the customer paid the hooker. One of the guys would hand it to Amenah [Blu].
About an hour after that the scene was done, we found the security camera. We were able to see on the tape when the money changed hands during the scene. Later, it was put into the drawer of the nightstand by the male talent at the direction of Martin Del Toro. Then people were going in and out of the room after the scene was done. The money was forgotten in the drawer. A few hours later, we remembered to collect it. It was gone.
"What Bishop said was true -- Mr. Johnson had nothing to do with producing or directing the movie [Under Pimp Arrest]. He was told everything he had to do. He only came up with those 10-15 lines he was rapping between the sex scenes. He got the script two weeks before the production and he only needed a couple of corrections and suggestions, most of them irrelevant, such as, 'A ho can not tell the pimp to shut up.'
"The gentleman who directed the movie, Martin Del Toro, wanted to walk off the set in the middle [of shooting Under Pimp Arrest]. He had no help from Mr. Johnson controlling difficult situations on set.
"Mr. Johnson showed up two hours late. He came with a crew of all kinds of people. He's got a big extended family. They brought drugs and alcohol. They were smoking and I don't know what else... He was walking up and down with a Jack Daniels bottle in his hand. By the end of the day, he got so drunk. Every time his part came up, somebody had to run around the location and look for him. He was either in a room with his crew drinking and smoking, trying to recruit the female talent to work for him as a hooker.
"Before his every scene, he had to be reminded again and again what the scenario was and what he is supposed to say. Once he was told, he went about the part like the energizer bunny, cranking out the same lines and rhymes over and over again.
"Mr. Johnson was always promoting himself in the kitchen, in the livingroom, on the patio, wherever he could gather an audience. We were constantly asking him to keep it down. Unlike him, we considered the location our workplace. Martin Del Toro had to scream every five minutes -- 'Shut up!' At that point, he wanted to walk out."
Duke: "Who is Jean Louise?"
Pete: "He is my business partner. He acted as the production manager on the set. He handled the money and he organized everything.
"He had a meeting with Mr. Johnson. He showed him the budget. Mr. Johnson was under the impression that if there was any money left from the budget, he was getting paid more. He was very disappointed that this was not true. He doesn't care if the movie is successful or not. All he cares is that he gets paid add Amenah gets paid (much more than the industry rate).
"Amenah wasn't up to the standards of a movie like this. She's not well-known. She's not the best-looking girl. He said that Amenah had to be in the movie or there is no deal. She did a nasty scene but the other girls in the movie are much better known. You can not put her on the same page with Angel Eyes or Sidney Capri or Beauty.
"Amenah wanted to be paid some outrageous amount of money. She would've had to have done several scenes to get that kind of money."
Duke: "Mr. Johnson must have some talent to get these movies made. What does he bring to the table?"
Pete: "His talk. I don't dispute his talent. He has a personality that people can relate to. He looks like a real pimp. I imagine that people like him and that he can be really successful in it.
"As far as who was the real macoy behind Under Pimp Arrest, it wasn't Mr. Johnson. I had to go looking for him every couple of hours. He created no respect from the talent by acting unprofessionally. I don't want to get involved in another follow-up to that movie."
Pete says the missing $400 came out of his pocket and Jean Louis's.
"By the way, Gabor paying $1,5000 to Amenah for a blowjob is hilarious! You have no idea how conscious he is about where he spends his money."
Porn Valley Goes Blogging
Susannah Breslin writes in Wired.com:
Porn stars, porn gossip scribes and porn production workers are turning to blogs to expose what it's really like to live and work in the San Fernando Valley-based sex industry.
Self-proclaimed "professional pro-porn pundit" and sex writer Violet Blue, who runs her own blog at Tiny Nibbles, sees Porn Valley-based blogging as the next revolution for Porn Valley's sex workers.
"Everything we hear about the lives of porn stars is filtered, and the people in porn are never allowed to speak for themselves," Blue said. No one is telling (porn bloggers) what to say. No one is filtering them. They're publicly thinking about their lives, writing about their lives, and that's something our culture has never been exposed to, ever, in history."
This is nonsense. I don't think anything has been exposed by these new blogs that wasn't previously written about in depth (either on blogs by journalists or in industry magazines). The porn press (from Hustler Erotic Video Guide to Gene Ross's blog) has long posted verbatim (or close to it) transcripts of interviews with porn stars. None of the blogs mentioned in this article have broken big stories. They are all, to varying degrees, interesting (I read all of them except Violet Blue's), but they've yet to provide us with a juicy scoop or even an insight I haven't heard before. The new blogs are cute, but they've yet to prove they are significant. They are not risking life and limb to show us something we haven't seen before. Contrary to Violet Blue's idiotic remark, there's nothing here (yet) that we haven't been exposed to.
Here are Blue's remarks that are completely wrong:
* "Everything we hear about the lives of porn stars is filtered, and the people in porn are never allowed to speak for themselves."
* Blogs are "going to turn the paradigm on its head."
These blogs have made no difference in any paradigm. Usually when I hear sophisticates use word 'paradigm,' I know that they are speaking pretentious nonsense.
* "No one is filtering them."
The bloggers in this article are filtering themselves to make sure that they don't lose friends and work.
* "They're publicly thinking about their lives, writing about their lives, and that's something our culture has never been exposed to, ever, in history."
Even though much of what she says is complete bollocks, no, precisely because much of what she says is complete bollocks, Violet Blue (not the porn star by that name) is a favorite of propagandist Fleshbot.com.
Luc Parry says he's too busy to update his blog. He replies to my email: "(grins) Too much happening to write right now, I'll hit it when it slows down. =)"
What Happened To LFP?
Larry Flynt is no longer in charge. His idiot brother Jimmy is, say my sources at the company. That's probably why Jim Kohls left. He wouldn't work for Jimmy.
I hear:
The real think is Larry is no longer in charge! He is losing it! Sad to say the least! The pervert is gone or going? He is just out of it, yes he is really sick, he has lunch every day at the Four Seasons on Maple/Doheny in Beverly Hills. SEE FOR YOURSELF! If the Bentley with Hustler is in front, Larry is in the dining room.
Jimmy is doing lots of changes! He's not Larry, that is for sure! Justin is an asshole! Big shot with no balls or backbone! Things will be a changing real soon!
Jimmy is in Cannes with Harry Mohney at Cannes. Harry & Larry met in prison [late eighties?]. They are the largest club owners in the world.

Bishop: 'You Gotta Love This'
Bishop calls at 5:39pm about the Mr. Johnson controversy: "You gotta love this. If this were rap, there would be gunfire right now. This is comical. Now there are supposed to be threats flying and people tricking. I might have to skip the next couple of parties."
Pete Cash phones at 7:40pm and says that what Mr. Johnson claimed about Jean Louise stealing $3,000 is false.
I call him back and leave a message.
Bishop phones at 8:30pm. "I went to the AVN site. When I look at who won this award, there's only one name next to the award and that's Onyxxx Films.
"Gabor paying $1,500 for a BJ? I can hardly get Gabor to pay me that much to shoot a scene. I don't see that happening.
"I don't know what Pete Cash has supposed to have done here. He's been above reproach the whole time I've known him.
"This is a shame. I'm in both of these movies. Pimpfomation and Under Pimp Arrest. There's enough money for everybody. They're not even in competition. I don't understand what this is all about. What difference does it make? The first picture would never have come out without the combination of the two of them (Mr. Johnson and Gabor). Why can't they be happy? Both of these companies have future pimp offerings. There aren't going to be any blazing gun battles in the street. We'll have to see who moves the most numbers."
ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO R. GONZALES SIGNS RULE IMPLEMENTING PROVISIONS OF THE CHILD PROTECTION AND OBSCENITY ENFORCEMENT ACT
The rule requires producers of sexually explicit material to maintain records proving that performers in those depictions are not minors. It will be published in the Federal Register. Minors are incapable of consenting to perform in sexually explicit depictions and are often forced to engage in sexually explicit conduct. For these reasons, visual depictions of sexually explicit conduct that involve persons under the age of 18 constitute illegal child pornography.
The record-keeping requirements, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 2257, are crucial to preventing children from being exploited by the production of pornography. Violations of the requirements are criminal offenses punishable by imprisonment for up to five years for a first offense and up to 10 years for subsequent offenses.
The rule signed today updates the section 2257 regulations and establishes a more detailed administrative inspection system designed to enable the federal government to ensure that children are not exploited in the production of pornography. For example, the rule ensures that the definition of "pornography producers" includes producers of visual depictions of sexually explicit conduct published on the Internet. It also clarifies the means by which a producer must verify the identity and age of each performer and the manner in which records of these verifications must be kept.
Additionally, the final rule establishes a detailed structure for conducting administrative inspections of pornography producers' records to ensure that children are not being used as performers in sexually explicit depictions.
Although regulations implementing section 2257 were first published in 1992, the proliferation of pornography on the Internet required that the regulations be updated and strengthened. In addition, Congress recently made extensive amendments to the child exploitation statutory scheme in the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today (PROTECT) Act, which President Bush signed into law in 2003.
Why Is Porn Five Years Late To The Party?
african clothing and porn seem to share the same 3-5 year lag in relation to what's going on in america and i'm wondering if porn valley is some kind of black hole for hipness. when you look at the t-shirts worn in malawi, they're often the ones charities collect and always a few years behind the ball. you know, orlando magic shaq jerseys in 2005. britney spears blew up in 99 or close to it, and was on the downslope by her album in 2003 and now is just knocked up and still not classy enough to join the nouveau riche yet in mid 2005, there's supposed to be novelty in a porn knockoff of her? it could be funny if it was preggo-porn and totally vicious, but this is numbingly lame yet getting more press than anything out there.
"emo"-or french for "bitchass, whiny and brooding male axewound" and artsy, dark porn with the kind of edge you'd find on a plastic spoon from burger-king seems to be the other tripe getting the big push. if people want androgyny, they'd just buy porn with cambodian and thai people in it instead of eon mckai. this s--- was never cool, all it did was get straight men in touch with their feelings then identified as gay by rednecks and beaten. once again, this dark period of male periods had petered out by 2003.
tommy lee, system of a down, digital underground and others years removed from their relevancy can only get laid in porn. the last place in america that will listen to them other than reality tv is porn, it's f---ing pathetic. is porn just that totally uncompetitive or is it just full of the least-cool people ever? i give this round to the democratic republic of congo--they've got the best selection of patriots bledsoe merchandise going.
Mr. Johnson Interview
Mr. Johnson with publicist Jeff Mullen pic pic pic pic Gabor Esterhazy's response. Gene Ross's review of Pimpfomation XXX.
He calls me at 11:46am.
MJ: "This is Mr. Johnson, the mac. The one and only, these sucks try to clone me.
"I was reading up this info that you received that's not true.
"Let me break it down to you.
"Onyxxx Films/Heatwave got mad because I won that AVN award."
I don't have contact info for Gabor at Heatwave/Onyxxx, so if anyone does please send it along so I can his view of things.
MJ: "When I first got with Onyxxx Films, we're talking about Gabor [Esterhazy], he knew that I was a real pimp. He didn't believe it at first. He believed it when he saw all the power and pull that I have. I came up with the name Pimpfomation XXX.
"I'm the one who directed that movie. Gabor tried to take that movie away from me. He was supposed to release along with the movie a soundtrack plus a Pimpformation manual plus a Pimpfomation album. We had a deal. Gabor backed out on the deal. He tried to f--- me by snatching everything from me and put the claim to it on his own.
"The only thing that that camerman Phashion (works for Onyxxx Films) did was porn. I don't know too much about porn. I don't know how to shoot that s---. Phashion went on location with me while I told him how I wanted to do things. He's another backstabber.
"The soundtrack to that movie was nominated. Gabor tried to tell AVN that I didn't make the movie, but everybody at AVN knew that I did that movie. They knew that Gabor don't do work like that.
"The day of the AVN awards show, I ran into my girl Sarah [who works at AVN] to buy tickets.
"I'd asked Gabor, are you going to the AVN awards show? Gabor said, 'Nah, I don't ---- with that. I never mess with that.'
"I get to the AVN awards show and this fool got two tables. Lying!
"Pimpfomation XXX wins. They call my name. I'm going down the aisle to get my award. Twenty other motherf-----s running up to the stage.
"I'm the first one on stage. They pass me the award. 'Here, Mr. Johnson.' I was so happy, I couldn't tell everybody thank you. Sasha was trying to yell through the mic. Gabor was trying to tell everybody, 'Don't let me talk.'
"Then I get a deal with Smash Pictures in Vegas. Stuart Wall walks up to me, gives me a card, and while he's giving me the card, there are 20 photographers taking slicks, because I'm always suited and booted.
"Eversince I got with Smash, it's been smooth sailing all the way. We put out Under Pimp Arrest, and it's outselling Pimpfomation. Gabor is mad because I got the award and he had to pay to get another one.
"He doesn't want to play the game right. This is what happens when you try to f--- people. It backfires.
"Amenah Blu, my ho that hangs with me... Gabor paid my bitch $1,500 in a check to suck his dick. She told him, if you want pussy, then you've got to give up some more money.
"He didn't give me all my money like he should've. He tried to be really slick on me. So I got him back.
"You know how I got him back? I left him in the hands of G-d. I got the AVN award. How did I get that when he had 20 niggers with him?
"Smash Pictures has been taking care of me. I've been to all the parties."
Duke: "What's in your movie Under Pimp Arrest?"
MJ: "Some pimpi, man. I've got all the top stars -- Lori Alexia, Amenah Blu, Angel Eyes, Sydney Capri, Beauty, Stacey Cash. I'm killin'. The movie is doing real good.
"The cold part about it -- when he found out that I'd signed with Smash Pictures, he sent Phasion to offer me $5,000 to come back and shoot another movie with him before I started with Smash. I told him no. I don't need it like that. I'm not starving for money.
"I came into the industry already with gear. I'm pushin' a Mercedes Benz. I'm pushin' a Beamer. I've got a nice house. I'm chillin'. Even if I don't do porn, I'm still going to survive because I'm from the ghetto streets [in East LA].
"It don't matter that I'm a pimp, man. I'm not all airheaded and think I'm all this and I'm all that. Just because I'm a pimp, I don't treat nobody dirty or raggedy. I treat everybody like a human being.
"I'm a businessman and I'm an entrepreneur. I tried to really look out for that fool. I spent $250 to buy him a...hat, just to show him appreciation.
"You can ask Stuart [Wall] about me and Jeff [Mullen] and AVN. They love me. How can you not give me Editor's Choice? Look at my work. I'm the talk of the industry now. I was interviewed on Playboy radio. These hos don't even f--- like they used to. They just lay there. When I hear something like that, my job is to get that changed. Give the people what they want to see.
"I got four stars from AVN again. And then they wrote up an article about - Mr. Johnson did it again.
"You don't do people back physical. Success makes people mad. That's how you get 'em back. You don't have to use force.
"I just got off the phone with Bishop. He says that he didn't say none of that.
"I said, you were out at my video shoot filming me, my cousin and my other pimps. How could you talk about me like that? We treated you good. You said you were with some magazine and the other guy couldn't make it. And then the minute you got through shooting us on camera, we come to find out, nigger, that you were in there fu--ing Angel Eyes. Are you press or porn star? That don't mix.
"Gabor acted like a bitch. He threatened Smash Pictures. He sent them emails.
"I'm trying to change the game, bring it in from the streets and into the industry. I want the women to know there's room for elevation. Don't just work the [privates], do some porn. Do some modeling. I know all the ways to do that. I know what I want for my ladies."
Born in 1968, Mr. Johnson has "been in the game [of pimping] for seven years. I'm cool folks. I'm trying to get the West Coast back up on the map.
"Gabor's people begged me to bring my award to their table. No. Y'all niggers tried to play me. I ain't got to impress no bitches.
"After I received my award, I went up that red-carpet aisle to my hotel, got my bitches, we went back to the room, and we left that morning and came back to Los Angeles. I left their ass in the dust.
"Gabor's crew, Pete Cash and them, during the making of Under Pimp Arrest, $3,000 came up missing. In the room where my ho did her scene, there was a camera in the room picking everything up. Amenah Blu took the envelope into the room. Somehow the envelope came up missing.
"We had a meeting -- me, Amenah, Pete Cash, and Jean Louise. They said to me, uh, uhh. John Louise said, there ain't nothing on that tape. I already looked. I said, bring the tape to the table. Let me look at it. Na, na, na. That's how I know Jean Louise took the money."
I have no independent verification of this. Pete Cash says these allegations are false.
"I told Stuart I ain't f---ing with these niggers again. They tried to keep me in the dark. I put all that stuff together. I said to Bishop, if you said that for real, my attorney is going to be giving you a call. Because we hit it off so cool on the shoot, I don't understand why he did this.
"Peter Stokes [AVN managing editor] is my partner from AVN. I've got nothing but good say-so about him. Peter Stokes is my dog. Sarah is my dog. Shari and Jeff from All Play Media. Beautiful people. From the receptionist to the man up in there Tim Connelly. They cool folks.
"My bitch [Amenah Blu] has been with me for three years. A real ho from the streets. She's from the concrete -- Sunset, Figuroa, Sepulveda, Miami, Washington. My hos are international hos. I broke her ass into porn so she can learn something different.
"Amenah is a real ho. You want to interview her?"
Mr. Johnson gets her on the line. "Momma, who came up with Pimpfomation XXX?"
Amenah: "You did."
MJ: "What did Gabor try to do?"
Amenah: "He tried to take credit for it, but the album and the manual was done almost a year before.
"I've had the pleasure to know Mr. Johnson for three years...and be a lady of leisure. He's taught me so much about life. You learn to socialize with different people."
Amenah says she has two college degrees -- an AA in General Education and a BA in Health Science from Drew University, "a historical black college."
She says that for Under Pimp Arrest, "nothing was rehearsed. There was no script. The intro before the sex scene, everything was ad libbed.
"You can ask anyone -- Mr. Johnson is a good genuine person."
Kevin Blatt's Week Filming A Real Movie In Puerto Rico
We speak by phone Tuesday morning.
Kevin (KB@joebucks.com) spent last week on the island of Vieques in Puerto Rico. "I was part of a mainstream motion picture documentary (for Acme Pictures) about the filming of a reality TV show (The Ultimate Challenge). I'm able to put a lot of porn companies into this thing.
"I'm the executive producer of the movie and I'm the porn guy. Everybody knows that I'm the guy who did the Houston labia surgery. I represent a myriad of adult web companies.
"The host of the TV show being documented is George Gray. Frank Stallone (brother of Sylvester) makes a cameo. Traci Lords. They asked her to host the reality TV show.
"This is going to be bigger than the Houston labia surgery and the Paris Hilton sex tape combined.
"This would be perfect for an adult company that isn't too over the top."
Duke: "Digital Playground."
KB: "Yeah. They really would. I talk about Digital Playground to all these mainstream guys are asking me on camera..."
Onyxxx Films' Pimpfomation
Best Ethnic-Themed Release - Black was won by Onyxxx Films' Pimpfomation. Its star, Mr. Johnson, all pimped out in white suit and cane, took the stage with his posse and Onyxxx owner Gabor Szabo.
MR. JOHNSON BRINGS THE STREETS TO THE SCREEN
Source: AVN.com By Peter Stokes
CHATSWORTH, Calif. - For authentic, ho-themed porn product, "it's all good" just got a whole lot better, thanks to AVN Award-winner Mr. Johnson, Smash Pictures, and Under Pimp Arrest.
The two-disc set is the follow-up to Pimpfomation XXX, which won Best Ethnic-Themed Release-Black at the 22nd annual AVN Awards in January. Under Pimp Arrest is a tour de 'ho extravaganza that features supreme ebony vixens Lori Alexander, Amenah Blu, Angel Eyes and Sidney Capri, among others. It takes a special talent to run such a stable, and the towering, bling-dripping Johnson is clearly the pimp for the job.
"I'm bringing something different to the table this time," offers Mr. Johnson, who - in case you were wondering - is a bona fide player. "Nice lil' shoobedoobes. I'm really showing how the game can be elevated. I'm showing the ladies what's going on, welcome to the world of the game. It was great experience for the shoobedoobes to go through Under Pimp Arrest."
"Because he's a great teacher," offers Amenah Blu, who, in addition to her onscreen appearances, works for Johnson in certain high traffic locations around greater Los Angeles. "He's been my instructor for two years. What he brings is not just studio pimpin'. It's real. We're from the streets. It's amazing that we've come form the street and have accomplished something in this industry in such a short amount of time."
Johnson feels his policy toward loyal employee Blu applies to elements of the porn industry as well.
"I treat her right,'he reveals. "I don't be slappin' on her. In the game it ain't about beatin' on the broad. If you abuse your product, ain't nobody gonna buy it."
Catching Up With Bishop
I call him Tuesday morning. He's ecstatic about his new baby daughter. "She's ten days old now. She's gorgeous. She's the best thing I've ever done."
Bishop has lived with the mother of his new girl (civilian) for 18-months. "We haven't married yet but this is a good length for a relationship, especially for this industry. We don't talk about it too much."
He's also raising a five-year-old son from a previous relationship.
"I'm wrapping up a movie that I shot and edited for Alibi Pictures in Chicago. I'm about to receive final payment for it. I've been working for everybody from Lethal Hardcore to Brandon Irons yesterday.
"I worked for Rob Spallone last week. Due to technical issues and the young lady, the scene took four days to get shot. Ron Sullivan had a tough day and didn't want to complete shooting it that day. Finally, to get the thing in the can, Rob had me finish up the scene and had me finish shooting it.
"I don't think I've ever been this busy and it couldn't have happened at a better time.
"Last time I tried to get in touch with you was to invite you to Mr. Johnson's Pimpfomations "Under Pimp Arrest." You would've had a blast.
"This character Mr. Johnson [a real pimp] was getting a director's credit for something that he was not only not directing, was hardly even in, and running around the entire day, clutching the AVN trophy that he stole on stage from Onyxxx Pictures/Heatwave and the actual director.
"His only claim to fame is that he appeared in the AVN award-winner Onyxxx Films' Pimpfomation. Because he was in it, he thinks he was key to the production. He runs on stage to accept the award. It doesn't belong to him. And he runs off with the trophy.
"The [real] director had a fit. AVN was kind enough to replace the trophy.
"That was one of the biggest scandals in Las Vegas last year. And the rapper Chingy who inadvertantly danced with a transsexual. I believe he was under the impression that he was dancing with some porn chick. A tranny came forward out of the crowd, embraced him, and danced with him."
Duke: "Have you been in any feuds lately?"
Bishop: "No, I haven't. The way the last one ended [with Grant Michaels] left such a bad taste in my mouth. For people to get so alarmed that this was going to cost us work and intercede when all it was was a joke to begin with. I've decided to stay as PC as possible.
"I'll tell you something that really irritates me. This kid Luc Parry has a blog. I've read it out of curiosity.
"Some people come into this, put on their work boots every day, and go into the trenches and plug away. Then some people walk right into the limelight.
"It seemed like this blog this kid had resulted in him getting more work. People wanting to appear in his writings.
"I was reading where he had to do a scene one day when he wasn't feeling well and with a young lady with whom he had no particular love interest. He had to come on there and complain about how horrible it was. That this was the worst the industry has to offer and nobody who hasn't been through it could ever understand what he's been feeling.
"This guy is complaining about one of the worst aspects of one of the best jobs somebody could have. He needed to go do a shift serving fries at McDonalds. He would've had more gratitude."
Duke: "Have you ever met the guy?"
Bishop: "I ran across him on set one time. I was coming and he was going. Some of them have the airs right away. They come right in, they're working for the right companies, they automatically lease a German car, and don't even take into consideration that there are going to be times when the phone doesn't ring. They have that attitude that they are a celebrity. That was the impression I got from him during our one introduction. Like he's on another plane already. It may well be the case.
"I was in his corner until he complained about his job."
Duke: "Why don't you start a blog?"
Bishop: "I've thought about that. I was on the phone with Tyler Knight that day. If this guy can make money promoting himself like this, we need to start a blog. Anybody could do it more realistically than he has. He's coming from a place of stardust and twinkles.
"Now if I just had the time to do it. It's all I can do to keep up with my Yahoo fan group (about 300 members)."
Duke: "Do you think most of them are gay?"
Bishop: "Oh yeah. No doubt about it. If there weren't as many women involved as there are, I probably would've had a court injunction to shut the thing down.
"I'm not anti-anyone. They often write wondering if I've done any solo work. Because of the politics of this business, it's not a good idea.
"Any customer who supports what I do and allows me the life that I have, I don't have anything against them.
"Pornstarperformance.com. The only way that could be any better would be if there was a directors or producers behaviors dot com so we could keep track of who is putting pressure on chicks to sleep with them and who has to have a kickback to shoot you. Who's going to jack down your rate."
