Kendra Jade's Porn Celebrity

We are not so controversial
But mildly intriguing – at best
And we are so wrapped up
in our superficial tragedies
We hang onto every word
Like lightning; furious
Striking out at us from the sky
We despise the thunder
And we are subconsciously thanking the rain for falling
Like it was at our will.

Ron Sullivan Has Colon Cancer

Rob Spallone calls me Monday night. "I had a little barbecue the other day for Ron Sullivan. Herschel Savage came over. Ron's going in the hospital tomorrow. He went for a check-up on his ass and they found cancer in his ass.

"I shot Friday and Sunday because I wanted Ron to get some money before he went in the hospital. He's not going to be able to work for a while."

Ron replies to my email: "I should be ok in about three weeks, including 6-7 days in the hospital."

Lou Gehrig's Disease & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

A month ago, I listened to a book on the life of baseball great Lou Gehrig and the horrible way he died.

Shortly thereafter, I jumped up to a branch I've often done pull-ups on. I missed. I jumped again and missed again.

My coordination is shot.

Eversince listening to that damn book, I've feared I've got Lou Gehrig's Disease. My hands tremble without cease and I feel everywhere uncoordinated. I struggle to bring words to my lips and once they get there, they're slurred.

I was a soggy verbal mess at a barbecue Monday night. I fear that I'm in my final days.

Or, an alternative explanation is that these things are just a side effect of my 600mg a day lithium dosage.

Either way, I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

Adult Book By Malcolm Knox

I got an acknowledgement in this book.

Knox has used his many years as a cricket correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald to depict Chris, a veteran batsman struggling for form before the selectors dump him. The self-importance of the press box is also beautifully exploded, and it is worth reading purely for the moment Tony Greig gets caught out live on air. Every element of Test cricket is here for your vicarious pleasure - the sledging and the slip catches on the field, the orgiastic behaviour off it - and the chances are you have never heard them described so well.

Knox's prose is both meticulous and expansive. It is also as tough as the red leather world of machismo it is conveying - even the wicket wears like an Aussie male: "the abrasions, red cherry-skids, blockholes, middle-stump scratchings, cracks, slide marks, sunburnings, gouged bowlers' footmarks, bald spots and rogue eruptions, a cricket pitch's age-wrinkles and moles and scars. But for now its secrets are hidden beneath perfect skin."

From The Guardian:

It has been said that if you want to understand Australian culture, you need only look at its cricket.

Knox's ball-by-ball account of Chris's swansong is a feat of intense stamina, concentration and flashes of style worthy of a great Test innings itself. The perfect innings turns out to be as elusive as the perfect centrefold. There's never any satisfaction, simply an insatiable craving for more.

After the Storm, Adult Industry Responds

From XBiz.com:

LOS ANGELES — After a massive tsunami ravaged coastal areas of southern Asia and Eastern Africa last December, an abundance of adult-oriented businesses responded to the tragedy, raising and contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars toward relief efforts. Now, the industry is once again raising money to fund humanitarian aid in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists

Neil Strauss wrote Jenna Jameson's autobiography. Now he's released another compelling book.

Amy Sohn writes in Publishers Weekly:

I never dated Neil Strauss, but I dated guys like him. Like many New York women, I have always gone for balding, pale guys because they're grateful and good in bed. But a few years ago, a distraught Strauss decided he was a loser with women and set about transforming himself into the world's greatest pick-up artist. The Game is his long, often tedious but hilarious account of how he did it. This ugly-duckling tale will affect different readers in different ways, depending on their degree of cynicism: some will be awed by Strauss's ménage-à-trois snowball scene, while others will suspect it was cribbed from a third-rate porno Strauss watched in his pre-macking days.

From the book description:

Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the bestselling author, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the year -- guaranteed to change the lives of men and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever.

On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist) to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. And then things really start to get strange -- and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence. The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince -- to prisoner in the most unforgettable book of the year.

From US News, an interview with Strauss:

Do the pickup artists really become better people though?

I see people come into it and really blossom; they become charming and cool. Some people get really lost and try to be other people though. They start out as nice guys and end up looking like creeps in feather boas.

Why do men need this book?

Women have the whole culture of Sex and the City and Cosmo to learn this stuff. For men, it's totally underground. This is leveling the playing field. These guys who weren't popular in high school can learn to be popular.

Hungary's Claudia Bluebell Won't Shoot For Another Six Weeks

She exchanges email with AIM's Dr. Sharon Mitchell.

From Pestiside:

Hungary- Some good news for fans of hot porn action. The world-famous Hungarian hard-core pornography industry, which has been closed down since mid-July, is expected to re-open for business today. While you had probably not heard word of the crisis until today, according to industry website machomedia.hu, Budapest's armies of porn stars had been sidelined after an HIV test of a male actor on July 14 returned positive, leading to an immediate six-week industry-wide standstill.

Fortunately, lab tests of others who had been "acting" with the infected man showed that the crisis had been contained. In addition to mandating immediate testing of all actors and actresses, the local porn authorities ordered that all porn stars "cease [having] sexual intercourse of any kind (including private [sex acts]), full stop." It was also revealed that the unlucky man, who did both hetro and homo work, had gotten infected during a "private" job.

Jeremy Steele Reflects On His Religious Heritage

Jeremy writes:

Last word up from the weirdo jew boy and then I'll shut up as my bad ass agent requests... Just to clarify for all those who don't care, my heritige is actually mixed.. and I never observed Judyism... Instead, I was subjected against my will as a kid to sunday school classes until I told my mom I couldn't take it any more, but I still faithfully put up a plastic tree every x-mas. I never had a barmitzfah but wish I had becoz all my Jew friends got a lot of $$$ in gifts, whereas all I got for my 13th birthday was some comic books, shirts, socks and star wars action figures. At that time I told my parents I wanted to change my religion becoz it seems their religion was better after all (look at all the money, gifts and shit). I effectively guilt tripped my officially catholic relatives to all contribute to the electric quitar and amp I got on my following 9/11 birthday so they could compete with them Jews. I'm not into Holidays I can't pronounce which always come on different days, but I do think though wearing a yamaka is a great idea, especially if you're bald or receding in those areas.

BTW/FYI, Funk N Wagnell defines "weird" as 1. Concerned with the unnatural or with witchcraft; unearthy or uncanny. 2. Pertaining to or having to do wth fate or the fates; destiny. Yup, that sounds like me. I believe in my weird destiny. Anyone want to know about my 9-11 conspiracy theory or my my illuminations on the illuminati or crop circles? Anyone want to know about my firewalking experiences with Tony Robbins? Stop laughing dammit! After all it's been well established that porn stars are supposed to take themselves really seriously.

Claudia writes:

Jeremy, if you have nothing good to say about your mixed heritage, then why not just shut up?

There are plenty of hate groups on the Net without you having to whine about being a "Jew this" or a "Jew that".

Without the U.S. porn industry, Jeremy, you'd be a nobody. And without the Jews, there'd be no U.S. porn industry.

Show some gratitude and respect while you still have the chance.

Heidi Update

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the tall blonde "Heidi" who says American society forced her into a life of porn and prostitution.

Heidi now resides in the United Arab Emirates. She's says she's the niece of the U.S. Senator from Illinois, Dick Durbin.

She writes to me:

I read this article about the Gay influence in Hollywood. These people with the authority of distributing jobs and opportunities use it to force people into sex. They tried with my friend too and he worked for them then when he asked for his pay check they told him to bend over and he did not and they did not pay him for the work.

I shared my British friend here your article and now he is boycotting Hollywood films.

One man here made a little house for me and he is thinking about marrying me but he is shy because I told him I only met him 3 times and it is not enough to know someone. He works as secret security officer the CID similar to CIA in the USA. They have the power to ban all the assholes from coming into this country. Thanks to God for their security and for his Highness.

This is one of the safest cities in the world here. We don't have to have homosexual sex to get jobs here. The leaders of the people are very hetrosexual and would not allow sex abuse like that.

We had a nice party with Belly Dancing and I really enjoyed it but the Iraqi girl looked at me like a dangerous cat. I feel the punishment of my homelands destructive decissions.

Also concerning your article on Immigration. The other thing is that I signed on to the Hyspanic political lobiest group because they offered to save my ass.

I got so mad at Hollywood I said I was leaving but the hetrosexual hyspanics came to my rescue said they are going to get me money and government spending to bring me back for my mediation company and maybe a job in the government. I thank God for their Grace and they said if I sided with them I would not have to be subjected to sexual abuse just to earn a living.

They discriminated against me before saying I don't speak English but then they admitted they do that as part of thier plan to chase the whites out of California to take it back to Mexico. I saw a email from one of the South American Generals because they formed a huge collition reaching into S. America. They are very seriously organizing themselves. See MECHa.

GFY On 9/11

The board wasn't as big then, still starting out, but it was the way many people found out about the terrorist attacks on America.

I cruise GFY, not just to get material for my site, but to get a feel for the common man. There's a lot of brutal honesty on the board and it moves quicker and gets more traffic than any other porn-related board.

Penthouse Letters Are Real

Susie Bright writes:

Have you ever wondered just who, exactly, ever wrote or edited all the much satirized "Penthouse Letters" about nymphomaniac housewives and over-horny pizza delivery boys? Well, I have a intimate interview with the SOURCE, former Penthouse editor Lavada Nahon, who handled everyone of those letters with her own hands.

Lavada worked at PH for years, and was only laid off a couple years ago as the Guccione empire started its financial collapse. She remembers the first day she came to work, over a decade ago, and was pointed to a gigantic box filled with sex mail with readers: "Deal with it."

Hungarian Porn Returns

The HIV-test of a Hungarian male porn actor turned positive in 14 July. The whole producing activity of the industry was stopped here immediately for 6 weeks of quarantine. According to the official testing laboratory the infection hasn't got spread. Officials noted from 5th of September it's safe again to shoot and work with Hungarian talents.

Katrina Update

Houston Don writes:

I noticed you were asking about models and porn stars impacted by Katrina. I hope whoever you speak to is okay but most of the people that stayed in LA were the ones too poor to leave. My heart goes out to them but things here in Houston aren't looking too good in regard to the evacuee/refugees that are coming in by the busload.

The New Orleans area is one of the poorest, most crime ridden in the country. A cursory check of the area on the web shows this quite readily (their murder rate is almost 10X the national average for example). The people being bussed to Texas (staying in Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio) are the poorest of the poor, include numerous criminals, and will probably stay here when all is said and done. I'm not sure I can overestimate the impact of their presence just yet given initial reports too.

While the Feds debate rebuilding New Orleans (I'd say move it to higher ground) and start making huge humanitarian relief efforts happen, a lot of people are still left without the basics needed for survival. Many of us taking them in are more than willing to do this for now but I doubt that'll last when the official reports start coming in about rapes, robberies, and all the assorted crimes being committed by the small percentage of crooks that came with the regular folk. It's good seeing the various groups chipping in to help the Red Cross and other groups help the victims of the hurricane but this has a lot of potential for turning sour. I know it's not porn related but I wanted to give you a heads up on the situation (I'm a volunteer in the effort).

Take care, Don Houston from DVDTalk.com

Bad Ass Comedy

Talent agent Frank Prather writes on his blog:

Let's review the past few days...3 crying pornstars, two puking pornstars, 25 trips from Santa Monica to the Valley, one pervy director trying to have sex with my talent, one shoot cancelled on a girl who came from San Francisco, 1 shoot cancelled by a sick girl, 2 shoots cancelled by an emotional girl, one sore throated girl, one depressed girl and one traumatizing shoot that wasn't even the pervy director.

Jordan Fleiss Goes To The Videotape

She calls me Friday at 5:19pm.

Jordan: "I finally saw the video clip you called me about. It was nothing like what I expected. They edited it like a trailer.

"He [Jimmy Lifestyles] told me to say on video that I was 21 or 23. I'm 20 [turn 21 February 2006]. He put on the internet a video of him, 27, giving a 20-year old beer. He aired a crime, him contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

"That's asking for trouble when you hand under [the legal drinking age] talent walking in a beer and tequila. That beer was from his fridge. I didn't bring that.

"I talked to a lot of directors who saw it before I did. They said it's not that bad. When I slapped Will Powers in the balls, I hit him to the left side. Everybody was laughing.

"Will Powers went into the bathroom. He tried to get hard. I slapped him. Everything he requested me to do, I did.

"We sat and watched the Dodgers game and smoked a blunt of weed for an hour before we did anything. Will Powers brought out the tequila. I was like, cool, if it is going to be like that, I'll take part. They gave me that vodka and then they come back [make fun of her]."

Duke: "How has this affected your work?"

Jordan: "It hasn't. I meet some directors and they say, 'I've been reading some bad press about you.' I laugh. They laugh too. They say, 'Don't worry. I've seen the clip. It's not that bad.'"

Jordan is now represented by Bad Ass Models.

"Cherry Boxxx has shot me eight times. They love having me on set. You respect me and I will too."

Bad Ass Frank writes:

I headed over to pick up the dreaded, evil scourge of the pornstars, Jordan Fleiss. Let me say this about the abject Jordan... We had coffee and chatted for 2 hours or more. Topics included classic car restoration, behaviorial science, body language, flying free-of-charge oh, and porn. She's a very intelligent 20 year old and has a great personality. Yes, the attitude is there. But it's all a defense mechanism to hide a bit of a scared girl. With a few conversational adjustments, she saw the light. We got along swimmingly and I intend to represent her. Hell, I might put her in my movie. Cuz that girl only needed one thing to bring her around...perspective. And nobody puts things in perspective like ol' BAF.

What's Up With All The Jew Talk?

Jeremy Steele writes:

Just wondering... What's up with all the Jew talk? Why do you have to identify people by their religion? (Actually you seem to identify Jews only, as if we care or should care). I think being a Jew is a matter of faith, not blood. What if both my parents have some jew blood but don't believe Moses parted any sea? Are Jews really the chosen people? Isn't that racism? Why do Jews always talk about themselves and obsess with meeting other Jews but if someone has a problem with it they're "anti-semitic"? Just wondering. Personally, I don't care what a person's religion is. I'm not against it. That's there business. But my question is why is it our's (the readers)?

Anyway, regardless, I praise you for your absence of malice, unlike another site which inherited your name. In case someone doesn't understand the wieght and the meaning of the word malice, according to Funk N Wagnell it means: 1. A disposition to injure another; evil intent; spite; ill will. 2. A wilfully formed disign to do another an injury. See synonyms under Enmity, Hatred.

So, it seems incessant malice is acceptable in pornoland as long as it's not directed toward's someone's religion. It's great to see we have some standards.

Jews are the oldest existing culture (who have had a majority of their people (for the past 2600 years) living outside of their home land). They've survived, in part, because they are constantly aware of what distinguishes them from the Gentiles. Because Jews have been a minority almost everywhere for the past 2,000 years, they've come to value many of their traits and practicies that are different from the majority.

One reason that Orthodox Jews don't use a microphone on the Sabbath (it is electricity and that is fire, which is forbidden to be lit on the Sabbath according to the Pentateuch) is to differentiate themselves from non-Orthodox Jews.

Jews like to be different in certain ways. Jews who don't care about this stuff do not perpetuate Judaism.

Porn Monger writes:

Although you are biased because you are a Jew. Jews are not the oldest living culture. In fact the Chinese are dating back to the 21st Century BC. Do a search on the web and you will find out. Here are some links for your understanding...

...what do you mean they are not continous. Like they died off and came back into existence. Have you been to China? Yes it is different because they have evolved. Culture's need to evolve. Did the Jewish culture have F16 Falcons and tomahawk missiles 1000 years ago? Religiously China doesn't have one and continues not to be associated with one. You are not being objective.

Interesting given that spices, silk, and noodles is what the Chinese gave to Europe. Chinese medicine is also prevalent in the world today and highly regarded by western medicine. Many Chinese medicine is being legalized by the FDA and other western countries. I am not Chinese but to hear you say Jews are 100x more influential and the Chinese culture doesn't matter much for the world is ludricous. In ancient history, the Silk Road was established from Europe to Asia strictly for trade. Today, the Chinese culture is market all western companies want to tap into. As I see it Jews only contributed the Old Testaments and the 10 Commandments to the world. Christians have more influence in the world then Jews do. Let alone there are more than 100 million martial arts practioners from martial arts originated from the Chinese culture. The Chinese culture today is the trendsetters for the economic state of Eastern Asia.

wow that was an easy way out for you. You should have posted our banter. But I guess you don't want to let your readers know you were wrong.

Bad Ass Frank writes:

Let my people go. And by "my people" I mean Jeremy Steele and Joanna Angel. They're the token Jews with my agency, Bad Ass Models. In fact, I'm not even sure that Joanna IS a Jew. I've never seen her at temple nor has she been to any of my Yom Kippur dinners. I'm going to turn her into the um, Jewish Pope or whatever.

I was baptized a Methodist and now I'm a practicing Athiest.

Just don't post any more of Jeremy's letters. He's already weird enough.

Oh, and ask Joanna how much she wants to marry me. If I make enough to keep her knee deep in shoes.

Jews At Sea

Jews at Sea tells the story of the Kavadlo family, and their harrowing journey to Alaska aboard a fancy-schmancy ocean liner.

As our guide and narrator, Peter [Warren] works diligently at completing the s-load of porno reviews he owes to the Adult Video News while documenting each family member and their loony-tunes ways.

Meanwhile, amidst all the fun and wackiness, one Kavadlo's health begins to wane, causing the family great tzuris.

Joanna Angel Update

The last two nights, she's gone out drinking.

We talk Friday afternoon. "Last night I went to the bar Duve. Every Thursday they have this gay trannies party thing. I was drinking and dancing. I only like to dance around gay boys because they don't hit on me and grind up on me and get weird. Also, gay boys are better dancers.

"I heard you were coming to the set of New Wave Hookers. I told Sean that I felt like I was going to meet the Easter Bunny."

Luke: "That's a Christian reference."

Joanna: "There are no characters like that in Judaism. Well, there's Elijah the Prophet, but that would've been geeky. 'I'm going to meet Elijah the Prophet.'

"I didn't mean that you were somebody who puts eggs in baskets. You're like this thing that I hear about and is in my life in some way but you don't really exist. You're imaginary and now you're going to come to life and I don't know what's going to happen. My whole world is not going to make sense any more."

Luke: "I'm your imaginary friend."

Joanna: "Eon [McKai] sent me this CD of songs I have to memorize. I try to practice [lip syncing] but it feels weird. I called him up last night and said, 'Whatever happened to the good ol' days when you guys would only hire me to have sex?'

"I've always wanted to be Ophelia. She was flakey and always in love."

Luke: "Get thee to a nunnery."

Joanna: "What happened yesterday?"

Luke: "I just interviewed James [Deen]."

Joanna: "Are you guys going to hang out and go shopping? Go to the mall?"

Luke: "I want to do Dr. Phil with you guys."

Joanna: "No. You're the Easter Bunny. That's all you get for now."

Police seek cause of models' deaths

LAVAL -- Police were still looking for answers Friday to explain the deaths of two American models whose bodies were found Thursday in a quarry in Laval.

The pair had been missing in Montreal since Aug. 22. Officers were able to identify Mark Kraynak, 23, and Steve Wright, 20, by the clothing they were wearing.

XBiz reported Aug 31:

MONTREAL — Two male exotic dancers, one of whom has performed in adult films, have been missing since Aug. 22.

The case has since become the No. 1 news story in Canada, and Sirard told XBix that the entire Major Crimes Division of the Montreal Police Department has been called onto the case.

Kraynak served in the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq and Wright was very open and vocal about his work in adult entertainment, often introducing himself as Trevor (his stage name) and adding, “I’m a porn star.”

In a bizarre twist, it was Sirard’s agency that represented adult actress Taylor Summers, who was murdered two years ago by a photographer following a bondage photo shoot. Summers' real name was Natel King.

Are There Any Porn Stars Stuck In New Orleans?

Famous strippers or nude models will do.

Girls Gone Wild

When Bobbi Jo Smith and Jennifer Jones left Mineral Wells, they were young and in love. They had a full tank of gas, a case of beer,and the open road ahead. There was only one problem: They’d left their roommate—a 49-year-old amateur pornographer— lying in bed with three bullets in his head.

Director Van Styles leaves Hustler

What's going on at LFP/Hustler Video?

TSCFan317 writes on ADT:

Kat Slater resigned as Creative Director after a mere couple of months on the job. Mason exited her contract with LFP, Inc. after having only filmed 1 (maybe 2) films for them. New York-based director Joe Gallant announced yesterday that he too was opting out of his contract with LFP, Inc. Like two dominos falling together, a mere one day after Gallant made his announcement Jack the Zipper let it be known that he is leaving as well.

Kat had indicated here at ADT that she had every intention of returning VCA to its former glory, thinking of innovative ways to simultaneously recognize their past as well as moving on into the future. So, her early exit was a big hit. And now with Gallant taking his New York based product elsewhere and Jack moving on, VCA is in real dire straits as far as features go. Perhaps both guys were just too "edgy" for LFP's tastes, regardless of whatever their represantives will say publically. I suppose that Zupko, who will be doing several gonzo lines for Excessive and Hustler as well as a feature here and there could put his features out through VCA instead of Hustler now. Plus, Axel Braun has past experience shooting features. However, both of those guys seemed to have mostly been brought on to shoot gonzo quickly, especially Braun who was a f---ing workhorse for New Sensations/Digital Sin. I'd read that LFP had hired Cash Markman around the same time they hired Zupko and Braun. If that is true (which it might not be), then perhaps they will have him do features on the VCA label. He's more than qualified.

I love that VCA has been re-issuing older Victoria Paris and Nikki Dial titles on the VCA Classics label over the past two months. They have a vast back-catalog they could utilize. However, it is the future for them that you have to be concerned about.

‘Razor’ Slits Its Wrist

Gawker.com reports:

We imagine most of you have never heard of this (relatively) new lad mag on the block. Truth is, we wouldn’t have either, if not for some highly overcaffeinated and equally self-defeating publicity efforts over the last two years.

Razor was the brainchild of my former boss Craig Vasiloff and was financed and published by Richard Botto, who used to lead MaxCash.

Joanna Angel - James Deen: 'It's Time To Heal'

August 31, I email James Deen's agent to get an interview with the 19-year old Jew.

Joanna Angel phones me Wednesday afternoon. "What are you doing?"

Luke: "It's time to heal."

Joanna: "What kind of problems are you causing? Are you trying to mend everything?"

Luke: "Yeah."

Joanna: "Good luck."

Luke: "How did he like the interview we did yesterday?"

Joanna: "He didn't like it. I'm not allowed to talk about anything."

She laughs. "I should go."

Joanna says she has a crush on a New York tattoo artist.

Joanna: "Go to Joannasangels.com. Don't I look cute on the boxcover? Don't I look like a superhero?"

Luke: "Whoa. It stars James Deen. I hear he's great."

Joanna: "Who? James who?

"I called my mom last night. Fortunately my phone was almost out of battery. It ran out in the middle of the conversation."

Luke: "Has James Deen met your parents yet?"

Joanna: "I have no idea who James Deen is."

Luke: "What are you doing having crushes on other men?"

Joanna: "I've got raging hormones."

Luke: "I haven't been sleeping. I'm not the most lucid."

Joanna: "Uh oh. Too much crystal meth for you. That stuff's addictive. Instead of trying to call people and ask them questions about their sex life, why don't you take a nap?"

Luke: "I want to heal. I want to heal. I want to get you both on the phone at the same time."

Joanna squeals: "No. I have to go."

James Deen calls me Thursday afternoon. He grew up in and around Pasadena.

James: "When I was six years old, I saw porn for the first time when I was walking home from school. I decided that that was what I wanted to do with my life.

"When I was 12, I was listening to Loveline. Jenna James was on. Every guy calling in was talking, 'I wan to f--- you. I've got a big dick. I want to do porn.'

"After an hour, she got fed up. She said, 'You wanna do porn? Here's what you have to do. Sit in a room with 30 of your friends and beat off. When one of them yells cum, you've got to cum within 30 seconds.

"The guy hung up the phone. I started to think about it. I started doing crazy things like having sex in front of a bunch of people at parties and trained myself to cum on cue.

"When I was 17, I realized I had no in to the industry, but I planned to get into the industry. I started messing around with girls from Hollywood. I figured that they would have an in to the industry. At a party, I met a stripper who knew Pamela Peaks.

"The day after I turned 18, I called up Pamela Peaks. She wasn't too thrilled to hear from me at first. She said, 'Send me some naked pictures of you with your dick hard.'

"I did that. She called me back the next day as sweet as could be. 'We've got to get you started.'

"She sent me over to World Modeling [it was June 2004]. I stayed with them for about three months. They weren't getting me much work, so I went over to Scooby's Fresh Talent Management. I've been working eversince."

Deen says he's done about 450 scenes. "I did my first movie for Eon McKai -- Art School Sluts. But for the most part, no one wanted to hire me because I was 18.

"In my third month, I met Jim Lane and Will Hampton. They each put me in two or three scenes a week. I also did a scene a week for Matt's Models. I was working two or three times a day (several times I worked four times a day).

"I woke up in the morning and it was like, 'Oh God, I have to go to work.' I never want to do that with this job. I raised my rate and cut out everyone who wasn't paying me $500.

"I graduated highschool when I was 15 because I couldn't stand the people that I was around. I started going to junior college at PCC (Pasadena City College). I got kicked out of my mom's house when I was 15.

"My mom is crazy. My parents marriage broke up when I was in utero. My whole life my mom has seen me as a mini version of my dad. I learned this from multiple therapists. My mom took out her anger and aggression towards my father on me.

"I got kicked out because when I was 14, my parents split."

Luke: "Why did you get kicked out of junior high?"

James: "Because I punched the principal. But he had it coming.

"I usually dealt with the associate principal. She loved me.

"For some reason, I get along better with females."

James says that one thing he hates about the porn industry is "that everyone gossips so much. I guess that's inevitable."

Luke: "How does porn affect your love life?"

James: "It doesn't. I'm way too young to even consider having a real relationship. I don't plan to have any real relationships."

Luke: "What are your ambitions?"

James: "To have so much money that I don't have to do anything unless I choose to."

Luke: "How did your parents react to your getting into the porn industry?"

James: "My mom's in denial. She doesn't believe me.

"Last year, my dad asked for my plans for the summer. I said porn. He said, 'That'll f--- up your chances to be governor.'

"One day when I was staying at my dad's house. The PM for Patti Rhodes called the house and left a message. My dad got the message and realized I wasn't joking. We talked about it for a while.

"I know he'd rather have me in school studying to be a lawyer or a doctor. But he knows that I'm going to do what I want regardless of the opinions of others."

James says he's never made anyone pregnant. "Or at least they haven't told me about it. I'm a big condom enthusiast. Before porn, I could count the girls I'd had condomless sex with on one hand."

Luke: "How has porn affected you?"

James: "It's made me hornier."

Luke: "I just got an email from Joanna. She writes: 'Whatever you do, please make it known that I had nothing to do with this.'"

James: "I know she has nothing to do with this. I'm amazed that we made it this far in the interview without talking about her.

"I was showing up to a set, and people said, 'Hey, I read on lukeisback about you and Joanna Angel.' So I was dealing with that.

"I assumed that your first question would be, 'What's the deal between you and Joanna Angel?'

"I met Joanna in Las Vegas for the last AVN [show in January]. I thought she was cute. She thought I was cute. We flirted but we didn't do anything. Eon put me in Kill Girl Kill 3. She wanted to work with me. I wanted to work with her.

"She was here for the week. We f----- like bunny rabbits for the entire week. Then she went home and wrote this big story, and I stress the word, story. It was false stuff and highly exaggerated truth. It really bugged me. She showed it to me like she was proud. I was like, 'You make me out to be this complete and utter asshole.'

"She likes guys who are pricks.

"The reason she's doing this is because she thinks it's hot. She thinks that writing like this about me makes me more attractive. I've been on her website and looked at the comments her members have left. They're like, 'He's an asshole. You shouldn't talk to him. If you want me too, I'll f--- him up.'

"This is proof. I'm not this guy. You make me out to be this guy. You think it's hot but the world doesn't.

"It didn't bother me so much when it was on her site. But when she went on your site and did the same thing and made me out to be this asshole, that bugged me.

"I really love this business. I don't want any of my business affected by one girl's false stories.

"For the record, we are not dating. She's a sweetheart. She is out of her mind, but that's just another reason to love her."

Luke: "How did you get the name James Deen?"

James: "James Dean was a nickname of mine since seventh grade. If you see my business card, it's just a picture of me standing there. All my life people have been calling me 'James Dean. You remind me of James Dean. I'm going to call you J.D.' I guess it's the way I stand when I smoke a cigarette. I don't know anything about the guy. I've seen Rebel Without A Cause once.

"My other nicknames are Third Rock and Softserve.

"I was throwing all this stuff out there and finally Pamela Peaks looks at my picture and says, 'That'll work.'

"The only thing I don't like about it is I don't like introducing myself to people as James Deen.

"People remember James Deen better than James Rothstein. That's one good thing about the name."

Joanna Angel writes me: "That was a boring interview. It made me fall a sleep at my computer, even with all the speed in my system."

Dana Vespoli, Lezley Zen Return

TSCFan317 writes on ADT:

It doesn't seem like all that long ago that Dana was the talk of ADT, with various members marveling at her age (early 30s) and intensity. She got a lot of, "Now, that's how a woman f---s! Sure could teach all of these girls running around a lesson or two," type of praise. Then she reportedly fell in love with Manuel and moved away with him. She retired while he continued directing and performing. Well, something's changed because she's back.

Also back, although only for a weekend, is Lezley Zen. I wonder how her contract with an internet company in Floriday has been coming along. Went the way of Avy Scott and Naughty America perhaps?

Director Nic Andrews' Casting Couch?

Gene Ross reports:

Sunny Lane said she's in Dark Angels 2 for New Sensations. "Nic Andrews directed it," says Lane. Wankus then wanted to know if Andrews called her to "review" the scenes over at his house.

"Oh God," said Lane. "Review the scenes and check them out?" Lane said Andrews did but she told him she was busy. Wankus said Andrews also did the same thing with Michelle Lay one time. Co-host Rebecca Love remembered a time that Andrews was "auditioning" her for a scene. "He asked me afterwards- so, do you do anything on the side?" Wankus said while Andrews is a great guy, he doesn't let too many opportunities pass him by to check out the scenes. "I think he did that with Kinzie Kenner, too, recently."

Juha writes on ADT: "A visual artist has sexual needs too. What's so surprising about that?"

Allison Kilgore Update

She calls me back Tuesday night, August 30.

Duke: "When did you leave the industry?"

Allison, 32: "The first time in 2000. Then I made a few movies last year."

Duke: "Why did you come back? The money?"

Allison: "No. Not the money. Because I had gotten married and things didn't work out and figured why not go to LA and do it again and make some money. Well, yeah, I guess you could say it was money."

Duke: "What are you doing these days?"

Allison: "I dance every once in a while. From dancing, I have customers who will give me money. I was in nursing school but I took this semester off because of the divorce. You know that if you were in the porn industry, your significant other is going to have a field day with that one. You can be in court and he will say, guess what? Check this out."

Duke: "He knew you were in the porn industry before you got married?"

Allison: "Absolutely. But I wasn't doing it after we got married. It was after we separated that I came back down and did it again."

Allison has three kids.

Allison: "I met my husband in highschool but we didn't get married until 2001, mostly because of me.

"I miss parts of the industry. I don't miss Regan [Senter], but he's one of the only people I enjoy dealing with in the industry. He makes me feel that I'm not as stupid and crazy as I think I am."

Duke: "How has it affected you as you've gone on to lead a real life?"

Allison: "Ohmigod. Don't even get me started on that one.

"I have always believed that honesty is the best policy on anything. The guy that I married didn't know I was ever in the [porn] business. He knew that I was a dancer. When we got back together, that first night [toward the end of 2000], I told him that I was in the industry and what I had done.

"Let me tell you, the whole time we were married, every single day, that's all I ever heard about. 'Why don't you go f--- a nigger.' 'How come you won't suck my cock like you used to suck cock.' Have you seen half my movies? I really wasn't there. Some of them I gave a good performance and some of them, eh, it's not a good day. Which movie are you talking about?

"He loves porn too. He loves getting on the internet and beating off to it. When he'd get mad at me, he'd use my credit card to sign up for one of the websites.

"When I went back to LA last year, when we were first going to get a divorce, and I worked for Rodney Moore, and the divorce papers are filed, then we decided to get back together. I decided this time it was probably better that I not mention what I did do.

"He stumbled across the movie about a month ago. That's why we're currently getting a divorce because I had another man's penis inside of me since we were married. I can't wait to go back to court again."

Duke: "How did you guys stay together if every day he was throwing it in your face?"

Allison: "Things were fine for a while. We had a child together. I just wanted to get through school. He had a good job. He'd say, 'I love you. I love you. You're so beautiful.' But if he got pissed at me, he'd say, 'Go suck a nigger's cock.'

"It's so hypocritical. I deal with that in everyday life, with the strippers I work with. They think that people who've done porn are complete s--- and trash. They don't realize that people who aren't strippers think that they are complete s--- and trash.

"I deal with it all the time. Oh well, I made porno. I got paid for it. It's on tape. Someone might go out and blow someone's dick that they met in a bar and never see them again, but that's ok.

"Doing porn was fun. You get to do the whole make-up thing. It taught me how to be sexy. That's what guys desire. They like to see women dress up in high heels and little clothing and do these things that you normally don't do. So it did teach me that. I do enjoy doing that.

"When you do that to a guy who's never been in the porn world, you have 100% control because most girls don't do that.

"I don't do drugs. That's usually the thing that people automatically assume. I do drink a few beers and smoke cigarettes."

Duke: "Did people at school give you a hard time?"

Allison: "No. Because when I went to school, I wore no make-up at all. I wore my hair up. I dressed [plainly] though when you have breasts, that is something that you can't hide."

Kilgore has 18-months of schooling left before she can get her degree.

"Regan's been calling me. He's trying to get me to come hang out in LA again and make more movies. Or he's trying to hook me up to work for Body Miracle, some escort agency. When he was sending girls to Ilana [Exotica-2000.com], she would pay him.

"But that's not my thing. I don't want to get arrested for having sex."

Allison did escorting a few years ago. "You're told that in the porn business, you spend hours on set to make a set amount of money. With escorting, it's the same thing, but you make a lot more money for an hour or less.

"When Regan sent me to New York, he told me it was for porn. When I got there, whoa. A whole other thing going on here. I didn't even know you were supposed to have condoms on you.

"If I hear about White Trash Whores 12 again, I'm going to kill somebody. He brings it up. His parents. His relatives. One day they were supposed to go out to see a movie. They said, 'As long as it is not something called White Trash Whores 12.'

"I was like, 'Let me tell you something. That movie was put up for an award. If I had put more effort into it, it might've gotten it. You guys don't even know. I didn't even put that much effort into it.'

"That's all my ex talks about. 'You're built to be a porn star and a f------ hooker.' I'm holding my age pretty good."

KSEX Did Not Go Out of Business

Wankus writes: Yes, I know the site is down. Yes, I know it's been over 12 hours. Yes, I'm pissed off too but in the internet business, sometimes you have to deal with technical bullshit and that's we're we are at right now. Our servers got fried somehow and our tech team is frantically replacing them and getting us back up and running. We expect to be back on the air by Thursday afternoon.

The Kerkoves

Ms. Metro (aka Skeeter?) writes:

Believe it or not, Bridgette really get so desperate, she asked then publicist, Jennifer Anton, to set her up with Mike Barbella. Jennifer complained to several Metro employees, including myself, about having to be Bridgettes pimp, confidant. Jennifer always complained to Bridgette about her success and notoriety, in reality, nobody cared who she was or recognized her.

Bridgette moved out of the exclusive Porter Ranch area and moved to a lesser area in the Santa Clarita Valley. BK never owned a house in Porter Ranch or anywhere else for that matter, only her outlaw criminal husband ever got really rich from the business.

Skeeter was a freak to begin with, he would come into Metro, give the warewhouse workers coffee and clean the Employee refigerator every friday, he was more like a janitor, then a director. He was always hugging and kissing on all of the female employees, especially the mexican ones. Lots of girls came into visit with Skeeter, I do not know exactly what for, other then alleged production interviews for future movies. Ity was rumored Skeeter, Joey Wilson had a purple casting couch, which mind you Pat Myne was no stranger too! Supposedly, Skeeter had some weird fetish about girls smoking and lip gloss or lip stick and high heels, Keith O'Conner use to make jokes about Skeeters weird fetishes.

Contrary to belief, Skeeter and Tiffany Holiday, did have a crush on each other, this was suppose to be a big sore spot with Bridgette Kerkove. Bridgettes make up artist Nichole, said Skeeter and Tiffany had a thing for each other, Skeeter was heard on the phone by make up artist calling Tiffany baby and referring to her blowing pink smoke from her cigarettes. Skeeter denied any wrong doing with Tiffany Holiday. However on an early, early morning, Tiffany Holiday, Skeeter Kerkove and his Jag, came pulling up together, smoking an Otto Bauers Supercore set, having a grand ol time. Skeeter was cameraman that day for Mr. Bauer. Word has it, watch Skeeter's camera work and the way he talks to Tiffany during her smoking and solo and there is more there then work ethics.

Bridgette procurred Mike Barbella, they dated, he bragged about it, Bridgette is embarrassed and denies it. Skeeter on the other hand, is completely out of control and suufering from a mid life crisis. The white trash trailer park King is out of control and destined to crash and burn. The trailer park King is wearing a rolex and other jewelry now, who is he trying to impress, Bridgette's Mike Barbella or the young whores he's hanging out with?

Porn Stars At The Joint 8771 Pico Blvd

Erin Moore, Chelsea Zinn, Tiffany Holiday, and Deja Dare Kris and girls gang gang gang girls girls Erin, Chelsea Kris, Erin Kris, Erin Johnny, Chelsea Johnny, Chelsea

Tiffany Holliday tells me there will be a bunch of porn stars coming in a limo to the heart of Los Angeles Orthodox Judaism. It'll be an every-Wednesday-night thing.

"You're all that I want. You're all that I need. I find it hard to believe I'm in heaven."

Chaim Amalek writes:

Say what you will about the Muslims, at least when the lights go out or the waters rise, they don't steal TV sets.

What is porn rock? Will you be able to ask any cheeky questions? If so, I have some for you. Take these down.

1. Looking beyond HIV, how common are STDs in porn?
2. For which STDs have you been treated?
3. What can porn do to help the people of New Orleans recover from the loss of their WalMarts?
4. Why are there so few Muslim women in porn? Are they being discriminated against?
5. Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

I think you need to get the ball rolling on Katrina relief.

I decide to take Tiffany Holiday up on her emphatic invitation. The event started at 10pm she said. She'd be at the door.

It's hard for me to do something new, go some place new. I'm a creature of habit. That's why I go to PSK every Tuesday night.

But Wednesday I determine to make a fresh start. I wash all my clothes. I buy groceries. I nap for two hours. I shower and shave and put on my nice clothes and arrive at The Mint at 10:20pm.

How many times have I marched down this way on a holy mission? But tonight I'm serving a different god.

I don't see Tiffany. I don't see anyone I recognize. I fear that I will see someone I recognize but don't want to recognize in this instance. I'm right in the middle of about 20 Orthodox synagogues and I'm waiting out on the street for porn stars. Something is very wrong.

Panic rising, I talk to the blonde girl at the door -- Dawn. She says admission is $8. Hey, I thought I was being recruited into taking pictures of tonight's event (which would help promote the club). I thought I was going to get the red carpet treatement I receive every Tuesday night.

Dawn says I can have a quick look around for $5. The club's almost full, she says.

I demur and step to the side and read a book about another loser -- Kick Me by Paul Feig.

It's 10:40pm. I'm about to leave when I spot a group of porny people walking up Pico Blvd. I recognize Tiffany Holiday, Kris Slater, Erin Moore, Johnny and Chelsea Zinn. I raise my camera and take some demur pictures.

Then the group flows by me. They ask if I'm coming in.

Not if I have to spend $8. I don't say that but that's my policy.

Erin tells me she wants me to take naughty pictures of her with Kris. I never take naughty pictures of them, she says.

I don't like to take naughty pictures of anyone. I hate that. I don't want to degrade. I want to uplift. I want to photograph people's souls. I don't want to pornify America.

But I can't articulate this. I'm too ashamed. I'm out of my league. I shouldn't be here. I'm going to get banished.

What a strong moral figure I could be if I were to proclaim now that I do not take dirty pictures for moral reasons. But I'm too scared.

To save myself from social embarrassment, I click away as Erin and Kris go through obscene poses. I'll never post such degradation but I'll photograph it just to avoid admitting that I'm a goody two-shoes.

Jesus H. Christ, what if somebody from my true world recognizes me committing an act of public shame, caught with pornographers, seemingly encouraging them to run through a series of lewd poses?

There's no redemption here.

I'm degrading the public square. I'm porning America. I'm mocking the sacred. Yet I keep snapping pictures.

Now Johnny and Chelsea run through their naughty poses. Snap. Snap. Snap.

I do my job and leave. I hope nobody finds out what I've done. I'm so ashamed.

Burbank is far away in place and time. It's another world. I can bifocate. In this area, I live a certain way, but outside of that, in the Valley, I let the tradition have a vote but not a veto.

But to bring porn into the heart of a religious neighborhood, it's worse than calling Adult Video News the Bible of pornography.

Tory Lane Marries

Mike Ramone writes:

The sizzling, curvaceous newbie and director Rick Shameless exchanged vows in Vegas over the weekend. Congrats and much happiness to both. The downside for fans of Tory's work is that as a married woman, she has reportedly sworn off any more boy/girl scenes and at least for the foreseeable future, will only do girls. Damn.

Rick Shameless writes (referring to this l-keford.com story):

Taylor Spielberg,

While I remain bummed about your severe commentary (STICK TO YOUR DAY JOB) on the other day. I do want to apologize, on a professional level, for costing you and Defiance time and money. The choice to attempt a scene with my wife Tory was made in an effort to assist her and you guys in a boy/girl scene, which is something she chooses not to do with anyone but me. It was obviously a bad idea, and has created some tension, so let me address a few points.

I have a new found respect for male talent and have come to the conclusion that performing on camera is no easy task. I realize that this is especially true when you are trying to get wood for a scene you are doing with your wife. It became clear to me how intimidating, and pressure filled this line of work can prove to be.

With all of that said, you will be happy to know that not only have I changed my name to LIMP RICK GAMELESS, I have also learned a valuable lesson and have decided to keep my day job.

One more thing -- Tory is my wife and her choice with regard to her career is her personal business, neither of us will apologize for that, so get over it and move on. You more than anyone should be supportive of any girl in our business that wants to have a life above and beyond porno. As a female director you are an affront to other girls in the business and sabotage any ones attempt at taking you seriously and that's a shame because the "hater" attitude belittles you and the rest of the girls that do this for a living who try to have some kind of normal personal life.

For the record -- Tory is her own person and makes up her own mind who she f---s and whether there is a camera on or not. I do believe that the finger pointing and career blaming is meant to antagonize and manipulate our present choice of monogamy, but it is predictable, obvious and is futile.

In closing, I hope there are no hard feelings and remember that next time perhaps the tone deaf, annoyance of your voice won't hang like a dark "limp dick" cloud over my already challenged "keeping my muthaf---in day job" stroke session.

Porn Star Karaoke At Sardo's Bar

I arrive at 10:10pm and run into Kelsey Michaels. She says she worked with Max Hardcore and Layla Rivera.

Duke: "What did he do to you?"

Kelsey: "The usual."

Duke: "Why did you do it?"

Kelsey: "Because not many people can say that they've worked with Max Hardcore. I'm trying to get myself out there and I want people to know that I'm up for anything."

Duke: "Did you get hurt?"

Kelsey: "I did it two days ago and I did a scene yesterday and a scene today."

Duke: "Will you do it again?"

Kelsey: "I don't know. He wants me to."

Kelsey's mom was a porn star -- Christine Roberts (did dozens of pornos, just turned 36, she was in LA last week, came on one set with her). Her father is a Protestant minister.

Michaels says she's run into five people who knew her. She worked with one guy who also worked with her mom -- Randy Spears.

Kelsey says she won't work with her mom. "Trust me. Everybody's already tried."

Michaels says her mom's porn career was the reason her parents divorced. "She was 17 going on 18 when she had me and that's how she had to support me."

Duke: "When did you find out your mother was a porn star?"

Kelsey: "I was 16. Me and a bunch of friends were renting porn and she was in one. I ended up taking it home and asking, 'What is this?'

"She sat me down and we had the long talk. I found out [everything].

"She'd fly to LA every now and then.

"I'm going home [to Tennessee] Friday and then I'm going to bring my [older] sister here with me to do it too.

"It's a family tradition."

Duke: "Have you seen your mother's work?"

Kelsey: "No. I saw her when I was 16, but I didn't watch all of it.

"I've had so many people call me and say, 'Do you know that you're on the cover of a porn?' Yeah.

"They're just amazed. They can't wait for me to get home. 'I'm buying one. You better sign it.'

"It's only been out a week."

Duke: "Does your mom advise you?"

Kelsey: "She calls me and tells me who I should work with. She didn't want me working with Max but that it was probably a good career move.

"I did a scene with Randy Spears. He said, 'You look identical to someone I used to know.' After we got done with the scene, I said, 'My mom used to be in porn.' He said, 'Oh, that's so wrong.'

"If there are a lot of guys out there who've been in the industry for a while, they'll probably be with me and my mom. Then my sister comes out here."

Duke: "How does your mom feel about you doing this?"

Kelsey: "I used to run around the house saying I was going to be a porn star, so... When I was little, I thought I'd be a stripper. I'd dress up in my mom's lingerie and run around and say, 'I'm going to be a dancer,' and I'd shake my butt.

"She doesn't have any objections to [Kelsey doing porn] because she used to do it. She says that if it makes me happy, go for it.

"We look identical except her hair has always been down to here [waist]."

I interview Rusty Nails, 33. He says that when he was a kid, he wanted to be an artist when he grew up. "Portraits. Charcoal, pencil and Indian ink."

Duke: "What happened to that dream?"

Rusty, who grew up in the San Fernando Valley and graduated from Burbank High School: "I went to Pasadena Art Center on scholarship and f---ed it up from there. I was young and stupid and didn't know what I wanted.

"I was a smart kid. I just liked to party.

"My mom used to work for a book and magazine distribution company. She paid me 10c an issue to put stickers on a thousand issues of the same Hustler magazine to censor the penetration.

"From there, I just bloomed into a sex maniac."

Duke: "Why did you get into porn?"

Rusty (who's done about 75 scenes): "I got hurt in a relationship and I didn't want to be in a relationship any more. Years ago, a friend of mine (David Lace) started a website in Las Vegas. My job (architectural signs) laid me off.

"I was at my friend's house when they were doing a scene (in 2000). Instead of standing around and looking, I PA'd. They invited me back to build sets and design for the studio.

"My first scene was with Mika Lee in May of 2000.

"Last year, I had a lot of bad luck living in Las Vegas (burglarized three times) so I moved out here. I knew Jim South and signed up with him."

Duke: "Do you date civilian girls?"

Rusty: "Civilian girls are fun to hang out with but it's hard for civilian girls to accept what we do. I've rarely seen that work."

Duke: "How did your family react?"

Rusty, who lost his virginity at 14: "I don't have any more family. That's why I put both feet into it this year. My mom passed away last year. I was ashamed of it years ago. I didn't want to hurt her. She knew and she wasn't happy. I'd only done a handful of scenes. I told her. I've always been straight forward with my mom. But I knew the disappointment that it caused.

"She knew I was very promiscuous. She caught me in the garage with girls in highschool. She lectured me on STDs."

Duke: "What are your ambitions?"

Rusty: "If porn doesn't work out, I want to get into mainstream."

Duke: "What do you love and hate about the porn industry?"

Rusty: "I hate the gossip. Everybody trying to get over on everybody. We're all a family. It may be dysfunctional, but we should try to stick together."

I interview Tiffany Holliday, who's been in porn about 20 months. "I did a lot of stuff on the East Coast for eight months before I came out here [a year ago]."

Duke: "Why did you get into porn?"

Tiffany: "Because it's fun. I met a lot of porn stars in my mainstream world. I traveled with a couple of bands and we interviewed girls to see what they would do to get backstage with the band.

"We get more in a day than the average person makes in a month."

Tiffany (a highschool cheerleader who lost her virginity at 17) went to college for three years (Criminal Justice and Psychology). "But I realized that I couldn't make money and go to school at the same time. So why not make money now?

"I was a good student until my junior year [of highschool] and discovered boys... Then I got my GED [the equivalent of a highschool diploma]."

Duke: "How has your time in porn affected you?"

Tiffany: "I'm a lot more sexual. I look at women who walk by and go hmmm..."

Duke: "What do you do when you're not working?"

Tiffany: "I swim, tan, listen to music and have fun. Go to the beach."

Duke: "How did family and friends react to your getting into porn?"

Tiffany: "They thought it was crazy at first. They thought it was dirty. Hey, we get tested more in a year than the average person in a lifetime. Whether you have sex on camera or off camera, you still do it. I got here somehow."

Keiko says she's stopped doing interracial scenes because black guys take so long to get it up (a common observation in the industry).

I talk to Craven Morehead and his beautiful blonde model girlfriend Leah.

Duke: "What got you into porn?"

Craven: "Peter North. I was working at Costco and he asked me if I wanted to do lights with Stoney Curtis. I did that as a side job and started performing.

"I got fired from Costco for sexual harassment. I worked in the bakery and I made a penis out of dough.

"I got into porn full-time. I performed in about 50 scenes."

Duke: "How does Leah handle that?"

Craven (who's directed about 50 movies): "She deals with it. This was way before I met her. I'm out of the trences. I haven't done scenes for more than two years.

"She met me at a porn convention [Leah was a model for Internext], so she can't talk."

Leah lives in Florida but flies out to LA about three times a month.

Duke to Leah: "How do you feel about him being around all these dirty whores?"

Leah (they're not swingers): "It's fine. It doesn't really bother me that much. You've got to have a lot of trust."

Craven: "I got my yayas out early in my [porn career]."

Duke: "How has being in the porn industry affected you?"

Craven: "I understand girls a lot better now. Dealing with 20 girls and all their bulls---... You don't want to end up with one of these street hookers that I'm looking at [we're standing outside of PSK] who'll suck dick for a pair of shoes."

Craven met Leah's grandparents.

Duke: "Did you say this is Craven Morehead?"

Leah: "No."

Craven indicating a porn girl: "Did you do this girl's make-up?"

Duke: "Do you do their make-up?"

Craven: "No. I just smack 'em around at the end of the scene."

In highschool, Craven played in a rock band (and got two scholarships for playing classical guitar). He wanted to become a rock star but ended up at Costco (while going to college). Then he met Peter North in a gym. "Then I sold my soul to Satan and now I shoot $10 hookers.

"My mom caught me on the Spice Channel. I played Peter North's son in a movie. She was at a bachelorette party and saw it."

Craven's ambition is to shoot music videos. He just shot one for Glenn Danzig. "I've never been one to be 95 years old and still sitting in a chair and shooting gonzo pornos."

I chat with Rob Longshot, who's been on a tear on XPT. "I just think a bunch of people are producing garbage," he says. "The circus acts have gotten old. It's not erotic anymore. You can only do so much of that stuff before you start influencing the wrong people. The fans [of degrading porn] are serial killers in training. I don't even want them near me. If I knew that these people lived in my neighborhood, I would want them kicked out."

Duke: "Don't you think this is true for all porn?"

Rob: "Not necessarily. A lot of the market now is geared towards pedophiles and serial killers."

Duke: "Hasn't that always been the market for porn?"

Rob: "No. I think there's been an erotic market for it and there could be again. You've got people who try to shoot for a younger market but they're a bunch of posers."

Duke: "How would you like to be stuck on an island with people who are fans of your porn films?"

Rob: "I wouldn't."

Duke: "Do you pornography promotes race mixing?"

Rob: "I don't think all pornography promotes race mixing. That's a diplomatic answer."

Duke: "What do you think of interracial porn?"

Rob, who grew up in the South: "I'm not a fan of it.

"A lot of porn is revenge porn. Guys who couldn't get laid want to see girls beat up on."

Rob started off in horror movies.
