"Love is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What happens between a man and a woman and a horse..."
4. Describe your ideal date?
Delilah: I would want to go to an amusement park, because I love roller-coasters!
5. What do you plan to do after Porn?
Delilah: When I am no longer performing I will be helping my agent Redd Rose run the agency. I am already married and he is six years older than me.
8. What was the last selfless act you did, and what was the last thing someone did for you?
Delilah: I always give money to the homeless and I donate my old clothes to churches. My husband always gives me flowers for no reason that to me is very kind.
9. If you could do one thing different about getting into porn, what would it be?
Delilah: The only change I would make would to have entered the business at 18 not 20 and never with my first agent, I would have always been with Redd Rose. And if I was not performing, I would be a stripper or a hooker.
Delilah's Question for da burglar: "Since you are in a wheel chair do you have sex in the chair mostly or in a bed?"
Da Burglar: I have sex pretty much in all the same places everyone else does,Beds, Tables, Chairs, Hospital Adjustable Beds, Hot Tubs (my Favorite), on top of the Laundry Machine, inside a tent I have pitched in the back yard, basic normal stuff. But yeah, sex in the wheelchair is special, but requires extreme dexterity and lots of practice.

Eric Mittleman - Producer Of American Sex Star
EricMittleman: This Playboy gig is pretty awesome. I should have all
kinds of stories/interviews for you.
EricMittleman: If you want to come over for lunch one day I'll introduce
you around.
EricMittleman: BTW - Jay (Jenna's husband) was probably one of the first
to read the interview we did. He loved it.
EricMittleman: I've been spending a little bit of time with Jenna and
she really is pretty awesome.
EricMittleman: She really is a case study in the mainstreaming of porn.
EricMittleman: I didn't realize how fucked up the business has gotten.
Luke: how so?
EricMittleman: Too much access and competition has led to a decrease in
the building of "stars", which means the best these girls can aspire to
in most cases is a level of secure mediocracy. Which is probably ok for
the college student (or dropout) with a webcam in Iowa, but it may have
created an unfair advantage for some of the big corporate "machines".
So for me it's nice working with Jenna who, because of her background,
actually cares about her girls.
Like most business analysis I am REALLY looking forward to the "what happens
next" in the adult biz. Balance of power always shifts. Those who can
anticipate the shift always profit.
EricMittleman: We just shot some "exclusive" video today for myspace and
youtube which will post this week or next (I have to find time to edit).
I shot this stuff because no one REALLY famous is releasing this type
of exclusive clips on these services. So, I am curious to see what happens
when Jenna "direct connects" with her fans like this.
EricMittleman: She LOVES
her myspace page and the communication it gives her with her audience
EricMittleman: Gotta run, 24 is coming on.
Jane writes: I saw what Eric Mittleman had to say about the end of the 'porn star' system and I agree. The best example I can think of is Melissa Midwest, who has a solo girl site and pulls in about 6 figures a year. The dirtiest thing she does is masturbate and pose provacatively with other girls. She doesn't have to go anywhere near a penis. She's even got a line of DVDs she sells

Cousin Stevie, Sunny Lane and Pussy Party 15: Unwrapped), plus Amber Peach (star of Pussy Party 14: King Klit) and Pure Play Media Publicist April Storm hosted golfers at Hole #4 and made sure all participants had a fantastic time. Vince Neil even stopped by to personally thank the Pure Play Media team for their support.
After an exciting day of fundraising and golfing, the Pure Play Media superstars, Rita, Sunny, and Amber sped into action again and helped host the event's after party at at Level 3 in the Hollywood Highlands complex.
Lyra Naccarato Update
This tall Italian beauty would never pose naked but she has many friends around the porn industry (including Kevin Blatt, Gary Kremen and myself).
She went to prison for about a year for drug smuggling (her second offence).
Lyra is drop-dead gorgeous and funny but she rarely applied herself at school and generally writes at an eighth grade level. She may be getting better.
She loves teasing guys but rarely pleases guy. She never pleased me. In fact, we never met, though we spent an endless amount of time talking about meeting and the things we'd do.
Lyra's a giant tease. I respect that far more than if she was giving it away freely (even though I admit my lower nature wanted some without the blessing of matrimony).
KB would tease her about how she was teasing me. How she'd talk to me about hooking up but she'd never give it up to me.
I don't have to use willpower to be celibate. I just have to be me.
She writes me from prison (sent May 2, 2006):
Well, I too have no life as you'll see in my latest short story. I've been going to church and preparing to leave. I've received some really nice magazines and spending money from Gary and Julie Kremen, thank god. I haven't really talked to anyone. I get paid on the tenth, I'll give you a ring after that.

Federal Prison Camp

Phoenix, AZ 85086P.S. I'm looking super hot! 128 lbs/hair down to middle of back/definition in muscles.
I got an IM Monday morning from Gary Kremen. He's returned safely from Israel.
Ashley Blue Update
I call her Monday afternoon. "I'm looking for drama."
Ashley: "I can't think of anybody around me who's high drama right now."
Luke: "That's good for you."
Ashley: "I don't care when people get dramatic around me. It's funny.
"I just did Girlvert (won the AVN award three years running for Best Continuing Series) Thursday and Friday (the twelfth one). One of the scenes was at a frat house. It was out of control. The girl, Haley Scott, quit the scene. She's pretty mad at us."
Luke: "What did you do to her?"
Ashley: "It wasn't me. It was the frat guys. They were throwing beer at us, which was partly the reason we were there. She couldn't take it.
"We were at USC. We both got upset and left. She was like, 'F--- this.' She refused to go back in the house. I said, 'I have to go. I have to leave you out here. Get your s--- out of my car. I'm really sorry.'
"There was no calming her down.
"They got it all behind the scenes [footage for the DVD]. It will be funny. It's always great when a girl has a meltdown.
"It was an anal scene on a pool table and all these [frat] guys were around the table shouting. Not tame frat guys, but stupid white guy asshole white guys. They were yelling some mean things.
"I went back in and finished the scene. She stayed out by the car and called her agent. I have no idea what happened to her. I don't know if she was toting her suitcase down the road.
"If I ever see her again, I have her sweatshirt."
Luke: "What is the premise of Girlvert?"
Ashley: "Girlvert [played by Ashley Blue] is an insane girl who has all these mental problems. I'm very mean to everybody. In every Girlvert, there's a scene where I get what's coming to me.
"In most of the scenes, I'm bossy. I don't want to say 'dominate.' We don't want black fetish viewers.
"It's rough but it's retarded. I'm 5'2" and I don't weigh that much anymore.
"I don't think it was me [that inspired Haley Scott to leave the set]. I refuse to think it was ever me. It was them.
"Girlvert is a mockery of my life. I ran away from home. I started doing porno. I hate my mom. I hate my dad. Everything that has happened to me in porn [is in the series]. Me getting together with Trent. Me dumping him. Me calling him a fag. Every time I get gonorrhea, we throw it into the story.
"In the last edition, I went back to college, which I did before, but it was a failed attempt. I blackmailed my uncle played by Dirty Harry (T.T. Boy's uncle) for $50,000. I said that if he didn't give me money, I'd tell the police that he molested me. In the story, it's true.
"I get to college and somebody tapes me having sex and puts it on the internet.
"Instead of going to therapy, I make horrible jokes out of my life through porn. Laughter is the best medicine. It heals you for about a second and that's all you need."
Luke: "Have any reality shows approached you?"
Ashley: "Yeah. People who did not have their s--- together. I've been paid a $1,000 for whatever. I have a friend who works in reality television who was trying to get me on Surreal Life but then they told me they weren't going to use anybody from Adult anymore.
"OK. It's not long you're saying that to me and using somebody else from Adult, because then I'd be really pissed."
We talk about MySpace.
Ashley: "It's funny the way people talk all this s--- on websites. People are on steroids of the mouth. They talk like they are so cool and so powerful online. Then when you see them in person, they don't say anything to you.
"You have your stage name, your screen name, and your life."
Luke: "I've been doing that for years."
Ashley: "You tend to steer away from the insults."
Luke: "I never insult anyone. I try to get you to insult other people."
Ashley: "That's not hard to do. As long as you make people feel comfortable, people will make jerks out of themselves.
"Usually I spew out the first insults and then hopefully other people will follow me. That's how I make other people feel comfortable, making a jackass out of myself.
"Really good comedians are people who are ugly and lame but they're not intimidating. You laugh at them."
Kenny Gallo writes May 8, 2006:
I was around Tabitha Stevens a lot after we came back from Hawaii. I was staying at her place in the Valley, so I was around LA a lot more. Jimmy [Caci] had been locked up for the Telemarketing, but we were working on his release. We finally were able to get him an appeal bond and a new lawyer. Jimmy asked me to come to breakfast at the Sportsman’s lodge in Encino. I brought Tabitha with me so that she could meet Jimmy.
Jimmy was seated at the table with Ori when I walked into the place. Jimmy is a real old school gentleman who will never cuss in front of a woman. Ori [Spado] is just an uncouth turd. We sat down had a great breakfast while Jimmy told stories. Jimmy then pulled out a white envelope that he opened up and poured out some diamonds. It was a dazzling sight and it made Tabitha smile. Jimmy and Ori were trying to raise money to pay Jimmy’s expenses. So they asked me if I wanted to them raise money by hitting people up for cash.
I was making movies with Buck Adams at this point. Bucks porno were films not Gonzo no plot video’s like Chuck’s. We were going to be selling these to cable. Buck was a walking disaster! He was jacked up on cocaine and booze everyday. Buck was a big dreamer and he thought he was making real movies.
One day when I was over at Bucks place his sister Amber Lynn stopped by. I had never met Amber but I knew that she was a legend in the porn biz. The minute I saw her I knew we would end up being close. She was just dancing at this point and was not in the biz anymore. We spoke for a couple of hours and she ended up giving me her number. So I was now out with Amber all the time. It was strange because I really liked Amber, but I was with Tabitha.
So with my personal life all messed up, I kept up my criminal career. I was with Jimmy a lot, meeting bookies and assorted other guys at the track. We were getting cash from all these guys, so life was great. I also met other guys in the LA Family during this time. I would drive Jimmy around all day and we would meet people. One day we drove to the Valley to a deli and we met this short buff guy with kind of hook nose. This little guy was Louie Caruso and Jimmy told me he was a made guy. I immediately did not like him because he was arrogant , like he had a chip on his shoulder.
Kenny Gallo writes May 7, 2006:
Guys like Ori "Al Capone" Spado, a man with sugar and tubby little body who yells.. This man was a paid informant that hides behind the coppers so he can make threats. He gets with hookers and then he can't get it up. Limpy! Then we have Pat Mumbles and his Tranny Dana... Why does his wife Daun put up with this? Mumbles always making like he is with Danny Pagano! He knows nobody but that Fat Obese John Groundbeef! What a joke the are... I have to bash Jerry the Copper because he is the worst. He is a user and he was with me doing drugs selling his information. I will be posting this guys name and department after I go on a radio or TV show.
Real men like Jimmy Caci cannot get a break. Guys like Shakes Milano live off their family name. I pray that Limpin Lenny tells on Vinny Faraci! This man needs to be locked up!
Christopher Gregory Leaving VCA?
I email Christopher May 8: "Are you really leaving VCA?"
He replies:
I don't know yet. I've been really thinking about some things right now. I like the folks over at VCA. I was hand picked by Drew and so I want to prove myself that I am worth it as a LFP director. As long as I can bridge the gap of horror porn. Things have slowed down as I'm waiting to see just what Blood Lake does. That's the sticky point right now I'm facing. It's an untested market for horror porn and I have to wait and see. I'm currently being talked with by other companies but this may sound corney but LFP gave me my first start in the business through Drew Rosenfeld and as such my loyalties are with LFP but until I can secure more work with them in the future I will work wherever I can you know? I'm developing a movie for mainstream that is taking up alot of my time and energy so I'm hoping that when Blood Lake is released it will draw more attention to my work and talent.
Well, had a long weekend by myself and did some real deep thinking about some issues right now about my future. And the one thing that keep making itself clear is that I cannot handle being stifeld by outsiders who have no friggin clue when it comes to talent and art. That being said, I've come to the conclusion that it's best for me and my career that I leave VCA and the adult world. It's simply becoming too much to deal with. I'm not happy with certain aspects of what I have been given, even more so, the point when certain desk thinkers who have never made a real film in their life dictate to me what they feel makes a film, when they have no clue what makes a film, well, I simply have to respectfully decline to be part of the process anymore. I do hope Blood Lake does well, I know it will, I've had every major reviewer take a look at me and Davids revised cut and it literaly stands toe to toe with anything on the market of B movie horror fare. But it seems you can't tell the "establishment: this as they simply either don't care or they simply don't get it. I think the latter. When we no longer make films for the consumer or when we no longer invest into new ideas or change, well, then all you have is the same old bulls--- that is being put out daily and again, this is why certain companies are losing directors and good talent- they don't have a clue to realize what works and what doesn't.
Someone told me recently "We dont' make horror films Chris, we make porn". Yeah I know. And for the most part it is true. But from the response I've received about Blood Lake and the emails I am getting and the overall interest tells me that this can work, and it will work, as long as there is someone that will stand behind it and allow it to work. So, I felt over the weekend that I simply need to expand my horizons in life and in filmmaking. I got to thinking, there are alot of great stories I want to tell and do and say and I won't get to do it staying in the adult marketplace. It simply won't happen. And I'm to out of the box to stay in one market. I think that is the very reason why I'm having trouble right now. People are figuring out that I am not able to be put in a box that you can't force me into a certain mold when I broke the damn mold years ago!
Ah well, it's been fun anyway and I've made some good friends along the way and I hope to do more in my work as a mainstream filmmaker. So enjoy Blood Lake when it comes out in September and look to see more of our work from Midnite Films in the very near future.
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
Christopher Gregory blogs May 4, 2006:
So I'm wrapping up some things for Blood Lake, I'm getting some of the contacts filed as I close this production. It was a really strange production to say the least and I learn so much shooting that movie. I got to speaking with one of the crew leaders and we started laughing about some of the craziness that went on that particular film. LOL, man, what a trip. All I can tell you is, if they had made a documentary film of the making of Blood Lake, I feel it more than likely do better than the movie. But I think we did okay.
One thing I did learn is to never, NEVER, pour 35 gallons of gasoline out onto a frozen lake and set a match to it. Wow. I never thought flames could actually do that.
But over all it was fun. I'm currently now in production for my next film as many of you know for The Kentucky Fried Horror Show. It's been a really interesting development as of late so I'm hoping that things pick up and I find the right distributor. I guess that leads me to my thoughts on filmmaking. It's been a long hard trip for me. I have never wanted anything as I do this business. And of course I've had my share of falls and failures. King Tori for one. I don't regret a lot of things in my life but I do regret selling the script for such a low amount.
Anyway, I'm anxious to see what develops with my career in this genre. Don't get me wrong, not interested in doing horror forever, not that I don't mind it, but there's so much more to me than monsters. Although I HATE, let me repeat that, I HATE romance films. BLEH! So we'll see what fate has in store for me. All I know is that with all I see and seem to see from others in this business, and it's downfalls and uphill climbs, I love it. I feel as though I was really meant for this business. I've given up so much of my life for this industry. I eat, sleep, dream this industry, it's apart of my life. Hell, every aspect of my life is a television show. I feel connected to the industry on many levels.
Yes, I've heard the arguments, the whinning by some industry failures who had bad moments or bad experiences and I feel that they truly are angry and bitter. But on the other hand, it is what it is. You knew what you were doing when you took the cup of vanity and drank it to your fill, so why complain now? Like Al Pacino once said as his character in the Godfather part III to young Vincent, "You are what you are".
Oh well, I think sometimes though, people forget that. I think life, success, fame, fortune is what you make it. If you are blessed to be famous, rich, powerful, then you have a much more responsibility to be adult in your actions and what you do and how you behave. That is where people goof up I believe.
People forget that they are representing not just themselves, but their fans, the studio, producers, agents, managers. Oh dont' get me wrong, it's okay to have fun, let lose from time to time, but jesus, why be a nut about it sometimes? Well, just my thoughts on it all. So go out and enjoy the day and keep your heads on straight folks and let's enjoy life for while we can, Bush plans on blowing it up soon anyway so have fun.
Zoe Hunter (her website horroractress.com, ZoeHunter.com) replies: "I am with you on this crazy lil industry. I fell into it by accident, but am thoroughly in love with it. The blood, the guts, the laughs..the good and the bad. I think their is a path for each and every one of us. I wish you the best with whatever you decide to do..you will find it."
Larry Flynt and the Kansas based Church of God
Christopher Gregory writes May 8, 2006 on MySpace:
Many of you know or have read that I have worked for LFP as a director. And one of the things I have admired about Larry Flynt was his passion for freedom of speech, even the kinds of speech some hate. After all, it was Larry Flynt that took on Jerry Falwell for his right to say anything that he damn well pleased. Thankfully the Supreme Court agreed and ruled in favor of Larry Flynt which in essence ruled for freedom of speech and once again supported the rights of ordinary americans to voice a view that although may not be liked, loved, embraced, it was in fact protective speech under the Bill of Rights and our Constitution.
Which leads me to all of the hoopla over the Church in Kansas run by the Ropers and Rev. Phelps and their agenda of protesting funerals of dead servicemen who died in the war in Iraq.
Now, let me just say I'm a member of the ACLU and very proud of it. I hold my membership dearly and as such, it has been no stranger to many that I believe in total, unabashed freedom of speech. Even the kind that hurts people. Some have even asked me why I even support the right of Rev. Phelps and the Ropers to say anything they wish. Well, it's easy to figure out. I love freedom.
One of the things that makes this nation great is the fact that we all have our ideas. We can voice that belief without fear of violence, without fear of retrobution, without fear of persecution or prosecution. Let me make this very clear. I dislike nor do I approve of these individuals that protest at a funeral. I look at that and I just cannot believe that there are those that would even dare do such a thing. But then I am reminded that freedom isn't free and that one time a great price was paid for freedom. That price made it so that ALL views, actions, and beliefs were protected. Even those that are not good, that are evil, that are terrible.
My state of Indiana recently passed a bill, which our Governor signed into law, which made protesting at any funeral against the law which inturn made it a crime -- a felony, that would give anyone up to 7 years in prison. What the fuck? Did you read that? It made speaking out against anyone at a funeral -PROTECTED speech a CRIME that would send people to jail! This is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen in my life. Where was the uproar? Where was the notion that ALL speech, good or bad was protected? Where was the media when the Governor signed this piece of facist legislation into law??? They were no where to be seen. Thank God the ICLU and the ACLU has recently stepped into the fry and is now taking this matter to court.
This leads me to the Kansas based Church and it's agenda to go to the Supreme Court to seek these laws ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It reminds me of another man, who people hated, despised, who believed he was evil who took it upon himself to wage war over his right to say any goddam thing he wanted, to print anything he liked and to believe any damn thing he wished. So will the church be successful? I hope so. Again, please read this again, I do not support this church, nor their views, but I support 100% of their right to do anything they wish as long as it's peaceful. When we ignore our rights to speak and voice our discent and we ignore the rights of the smallest person, then we are one large step away from facism and tyranny.
My heritage is jewish, my faith is jewish and I know first hand how destructive doing nothing can be to a nation. For those that argue against these people, well, I hope that you raised enough voice over the laws that are being passed outlawing their right to chant their hideous views. If you don't, those same supporters of censorship will decide that what YOU believe and openly speak of, will take aim at you and soon the hammer of silence will fall upon YOUR life and upon YOUR ideas and you will have no one to help you as they too have been silenced.
This nation is getting more and more out of character it once was. We fight a war based on lies, we condemn those that preach a view point we do not accept and wish them silence, we kill for land, we rape the environment and we do it all out of selfishness. They say that every great empire eventually falls from within, Rome- Egypt- Ming Dynasty, and many more have eventually all have fallen. I believe this nation will also eventually fall as well, and it will be done NOT by terrorism, not by war from our enemies, but out of fear of one another. This will be our downfall. When we ignore the very fundlementals our founding fathers deemed were the rights of every man, then we will no longer BE that great nation our founding fathers created and fought for. Think about it.
I email Christopher: "What does Judaism have to say about the work you do and the issues you tackle on your blog? Do you even know? How learned are you in Judaism? Do you read Hebrew? Have you studied the Talmud? Are you observant of the laws of the Jewish tradition? Keep kosher and Shabbos?"
Chrisopher responds:
How is my work any different than what Hollywood puts out each and every day? By the way, I'm a filmmaker, I'm currently in development of several MAINSTREAM films and adult horror porn is a second aspect of my life. Have you seen any of my work??? If I'm not mistaken you are a convert to Judaism. I am not. My grandparents fled Germany because of the crap people wanted to stop. I have studied Hebrew when I was a child, I since have felt that organized religion has some major, serious flaws within its own faith. I am observant of the laws -- to a point. I do NOT keep Kosher, I do keep Shabbos. Why the label? Isn't this what it all boils down to? My heritage is judaism, my faith is judaism -- so what??? I am no more different than a muslim, a christian, a pagan or another jew. So what? You need to seperate career from religion.
Luke, Hollywod puts out more violence and bulls--- almost daily, yet all I see coming from you is rants and ravings about how people can honestly make or participate in the adult marketplace. Why no postings on the level of violence of mainstream pictures from you? Why no outrage when major Hollywood studios put out films that show rape and child abuse in its product??? I'm kinda wondering where your journalistic views hold to that? Think about it.
No, I have not seen any of your work. I have not watched a porn film in about eight years and I hate horror films.
Blood Lake is truly different. It literally pushes the envelope. I think I am the first director that actually has a guy axe a girl to death in a porn film. What irritates me is that some adult folks are afraid of pushing the envelope and I'm not. That's why I do mainstream in most cases but I really believe that Blood Lake will do well, it has received mainstream press and is doing extremely well.
Christopher Gregory writes about himself on MySpace:
There's so much stuff to say about me. But regardless, here's the quickie version. I am a filmmaker by right. I grew up on films, television shows, music videos, late night horror hosts features and books since I was literally 6 yrs old. My father took me on set to a horror film when I was 8 which changed my life. Well, it didn't change my whole entire life, that would happen later with the release of Raiders of the Lost Ark in which I knew from that moment on that I wanted to be a filmmaker. I just competed our bigger project to date - Blood Lake. It is my first real studio project through VCA Pictures. Currently the movie is being cut as I write this and I believe it's going to change the views on adult entertainment, well, at least for the mixing of adult and mainstream horror films. My goal? To make the best grindhouse horror films possible. My next project is a homage to the graphic grindhouse features of House of a 1000 Corpses, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's called The Kentucky Fried Horror Show. Hopefully it will really shock and turn on audiences everywhere with it's mixture of true horror/fear/and sex. My future goal is to work in every avenue possible in Hollywood. I worked when I was younger with the WWE (yeah that WWF) as a young camera man and I've worked with some great pro-wrestlers. I've worked for Disney, PBS, and Viacom on MTV's The Real World. I also really enjoyed my time at VCA, and I enjoyed working with some of the hottest women in the adult business. But eventually I know I have to grow and move on and that's fine, but right now I'm content as long as I stay in horror and Sci-Fi. Stay Undead!

Luke, Lukewarm and Bland
Just perusing through lukeisback website after a hiatus and I find myself thinking what is luke thinking? I find TMFR more entertaining and shockingly luke's writing is of equal quality to the mindless dribble that channels from the fingers of taylor. Luke either holly or old age has destroyed what was an entertaining and informative site full of comedic gold for xpt crew. I blame this severe decline in quality posting purely based on the lackadaisical “journalism” (a term I use loosely) your site presents now. Congratulations luke on becoming mediocre and complacent.
Luke is to Jews what the fat chick dressed up as sailor moon is to the anime convention.
The one I blame for all of this:

I don't know this woman personally, but the kind of thoughtless happy-go-luckiness-not-a-care-in-her-brow look is like a steamroller over the lives of those more reflective souls around her. So I'm theoretically siding with you. I intuitively sense that is the kind of person who can unintentionally flay a person emotionally and then with infuriating sincerity ask "What's wrong? Is there anything I can do?"
Chuck Spears writes:
I have not been reading Luke as much in the last couple of weeks, he has been playing up his jewishness too much. I think he is courting (how do you spell that word?) the mainstream people too much. He wants to be the 'jew porn writer' more than he wants to be the 'porn writer.' It's very Uncle Tom-ish.

You have a group of buddies, you got out a lot, get smashed, go to titty bars, treat and talk about women like s---, maybe even buy a couple whores and run a train on them for Arbor day or some other special occasion. THEN...it happens. One of the "gang" gets lucky and falls in love with a chick, and all of a sudden he isnt there any more buying his round of drinks. You feel the pinch, both in your wallet and in your conscience...so you turn on the boy who was lucky, and now the boy ALSO has to deal with having his friends resent him. It's Karma, payback, what-goes-up-must-come-down-and-kill-someone dynamics at work. He has what we call "STS" -- Sure Thing Syndrome. When you are in a relationship with a chick who you know you can always get some from, you lose that edge.
The cover story for the new (May '06) issue of AVN was written by moi, and not only is it my first cover, but it was an especially cool one to get, I think: An overview of female talent-owned production companies, with an emphasis on Teravision (owned by second-in-line-only-to-Jenna-porn-superstar Tera Patrick, in case you ain't up to speed). The raddest thing I got to do because of it was hang at Tera's house for an evening, though there was plenty of other radness involved. Give it a read, let me know what you think.

How Is Private Structured?
If porn talent is not paid for scenes they did for Private, and the director keeps telling them that he's waiting for the money to come from Private headquarters in Europe, that eventually the check to the talent was mailed, but it never arrives, so what does the talent do? Who do they talk to?
'Ignore the Jew monkey inside'?
Peter Warren poses in Kimberly Kane's new car.
If someone outside of AVN had used this headline, would AVN Editor Mike Ramone jumped on them for anti-Semitism?
Peter Warren emails me:
Ah, but see, Luke, it wasn't somebody outside AVN who used the headline, it was me, a Jew, making a derogatory comment about myself. Which is what's called "de-powering the defamatory language."
Shtup?
I pick up Holly Randall Saturday night and drive her to the Los Angeles river.
"Shtup?" I ask.

Dude, Here's My Book
Khunrum writes:
I just read an article about this fellow Tucker Max, Internet blogger and author of "I hope they serve beer in hell"....www.TuckerMax.com. Have any of you heard of him? He's sold 30,000 books: "Mr. Max is the first to admit that his work is not highbrow, and that his readership is composed partly of dudes who can't spell 'dude' right."
Luke, you need to identify your readers and then write something for them.
Rob writes: "Rum's right. You clearly missed your target audience with a book with no coloring pages and all those polysyllabic words! What were you thinking? Chaim was dead on when he said your story was well suited for the graphic novel approach."
Chaim writes:
Sigh....Luke still has these seriously deluded pretensions to academia. That boat left the harbor years ago, Luke. Know your potential audience: wankers, not academics, unless they too happen to be wankers. You could have done so much with a graphic novel approach, or at least a Howard Sternish "Private Parts" effort, in which the large-lettered text is larded with lots of photos and such. But the graphic novel would have worked, and you could maybe have approached R Crumb through his ex GF, the female porner Dian Hanson, who moved to LA a few years back.
So many things you could have done, had you more initiative. The best thing that could've happened to you last week would've been for a stray spark from that house fire spreading to your hovel, and turning it to toast (without you in it, of course). You are too comfortable in your poverty. Shame on you.
Bob writes:
Agreed. Luke's sales would have sky-rocketed him to the top of Amazon.com's chart had he only included the only thing of interest to porn fans - namely gratuitous photos of female genitalia. Inner religious turmoil? That doesn't sell. Hell Luke, I've been your friend for seven years and I didn't even buy your book. No beavers. No sale. Maybe there is still time to augment your anemic original tome with some photos from Holly's ample photographic portfolio?
Chaim writes:
The only people who can make money by selling books containing pictures of vaginalia are those who have one of their own, or medical publishers. To make it as an author, one must have an understanding of the market as it is, and not as you might want it to be. The market would have rewarded Luke for writing a book about women who use self-made porn to become famous, ala Paris Hilton. But noooooo, what did he choose to write about? The burning issue of Jewish journalism in America. Luke, you are days away from 40, an age by which all twinkdom ends and women look with curiosity at you for all the wrong reasons. ("Is he gay? I'll bet he is")
Remember, from the day you turn 40 onward, you are closer to 60 than to 20, and closer to 50 than to 30. You are fated to fatten, lose your hair, get ED and weak knees. Old age and poverty don't mix well. Either get Holly to marry you NOW, while she still has a bit of the daftness of youth, or start monetizing the Luke F-rd brand. Your dead mommy must be looking down upon you from heaven with such disgust for your failings.
Khunrum writes: "This issue of Rolling Stone, pg. 27, under the heading READ THIS: they are touting "Prisoner of X" by one Allan Mc Cowell...."a luridly entertaining memoir." Looks like someone is making a buck writing about porn."

Myspace and Webshots hurting the porn biz?
Steve Lightspeed writes on GFY:
Topic 1: I admit, I've found myself surfing webshots and myspace looking for sexy pics of hot girls. Lots of cheerleader, upskirt, bikini, and spring break type pics on those sites. Do you think those sites, and others like them, could be drawing attention and sales away from porn sites?
I should add google and yahoo image search.
Topic 2: Also, back when I started in 99, it was easy to find models for the web, because the girls didn't use the internet, and didn't think anyone would ever see their pictures. Now, college-age girls know all about the web (at least about myspace), and they know how quickly they will be spotted by friends and family. I find it much harder to recruit hot college girls now that ever.
All I see in AZ lately is torn up meth hags. Someone that wants black, mexican, fat, or crack whores could kick some ass in Phoenix lately. Maybe my standards are unrealistically high, but I want high-quality, never-before-seen amateurs.
I actually think its easier to recruit at the welfare office than at the mall or college. I think there is 1 in 10,000 girls that will pose nude on the net, and even then, only when she needs the money. Finding THAT GIRL on THAT DAY at random is like catching lightning in a bottle.
Donny writes: "I don't have a problem recruiting hot models. I had to change the way I was recruiting, however."
Ramos writes: "There's still millions of chicks who have no clue."
Mutt writes: "95% of messages i've sent on myspace have gone ignored."
Donny writes: "That's because you're doing it wrong. I'd say 95% of mine are answered."
Pornwulf writes:
The more surfers are spending time somewhere else the less time they are spending looking at porn and consequently joining paysites. One thing we know about myspace is it's a time hog. You go to check out one profile then 4 hours later you log off. You get sucked into looking at all the hot - real - ass on there. Hell, I dare anyone to start looking at Sweet T's page and try to log off in 15 minutes. You can't do it! So, Myspace doesn't just hurt us, it hurts all businesses that focus on using that time and in one way or another attract their discretionary income. Myspace hurts TV stations, it hurts online video Game companies, and on and on. As far as making it harder to recruit, it seems like it would be easier. I always knew there were freaky girls out there, hell, real pimping was a hobby for me once upon a time, but jeezus! There are so many girls ready for porn on Myspace it's not even funny. Plus, you already know they are hot. Easy pickins.
BVF writes on GFY:
Even the crackheads know about the internet now. One of the reasons I had to move out of Ohio is because the ---- exploded once people started getting internet access in the hood. I have crackheads walking around right now that are local pornstars now because of me. But the downside is that all of the girls on the street knew about me and the site and som eof them that had no problem with it years ago and were good repeat models and referred me to their friends, all that ended once their family saw it. Some fool even downloaded some pics and made T-shirts of one of my models and passed it around in the hood, she called me irate thinking that I did it. So I left before it got even worse.
Raw Alex writes: "Considering that courts have ruled that covered shots of crotches could be considered porn, I think myspace and others are taking a major risk when it comes to 2257 documentation requirements. There is nothing stopping a minor from posting a nude or topless picture, and there is no way to verify the ages of models that appear on the site or the copyright that may exist on an image."
Pro Bono writes:
My opinion after 10 years at this is that there is so much free porn out there that you need to do a few things to survive. 1. Have unique content that can capture their imagination and draw them in so they do not go elseware, including interaction. Interaction is a key to the lure of myspace. 2. Follow Apple's lead and price aggressively so there is such a low entry point that people do have no problem whipping out the card. Why steal it whe it's only a buck or two. This also means NO recurring billing or at least a non recurring option. Most buyers dislike recurring charges, me included. 3. Always try to innovate. Steve you have some of these bases covered. The entire affiliate model has screwed up the market place because of SPAM, free content without limits and just too many TGPS and other free sites out there. People who troll free sites rarely buy.
One more thing on finding models. In the past we had them beating down the doors, then when they were outed we removed them. We warn ladies now that they will be discovered before we sign them, it has reduced the pool sigificantly but we still get panic calls. To much exposure and too many puritans.
Halcyon writes: "Very interesting topic. And a bit unsettling to think that the reason why it is harder to get models is because, as a whole, they are less ignorant about what they are really doing. I wonder if any model has ever DRM'd all their content (to eventually expire) to ensure that their career in adult would have an end when they choose it to. Would that even be possible?"
Mutt writes: "Ask anybody involved in the niche - there are few happy faces in this niche at the end of the day."
Al Borda - Porn King Of La Costa
From the San Diego Reader, July 30, 1998:
The mob that built La Costa scattered long ago. Moe Dalitz, the fixer out of Cleveland via Las Vegas who tapped Jimmy Hoffa's Teamsters Central States Pension Fund for $57 million to build the place, died peacefully in 1989. John Duffy, the San Diego County Sheriff who looked the other way when the mob reputedly ran hookers and high-stakes poker out of the posh La Costa Clubhouse, died semi-mysteriously while on a business trip to Central America in 1993. Hoffa dropped from sight in 1975 after going off in a limo to meet some "friends." Years before, Allard Roen, one of Dalitz's partners in La Costa, was interviewed by a reporter from the San Diego Evening Tribune. "Jimmy doesn't drink, smoke, or chase around after women," Roen said. "People think Teamsters money is bad because it is associated by some with gangsters. That is not true. They have access to huge sums of money. It's only logical for them to invest." Roen's statement, of course, came years before Hoffa's disappearance, the hit on Teamsters lawyer Allen Dorfman, and the testimony of La Jolla financier Allen Glick and mafia hit man Jimmy "The Weasel" Fratianno forever linked the resort to organized crime.
But that was then. The resort knocked away the mud of its mobbed-up beginnings when original partners sold out in 1987 to a Japanese outfit from Osaka called Sports Shinko. Today, the golf course where Jimmy Hoffa, Frank Fitzsimmons, Jackie Presser, and Richard Nixon, among many others, once discussed politics, kickbacks, prostitutes, casino skims, and mob hits is now just another golden suburb, an upscale neighborhood in the city of Carlsbad. Oversized houses with eight-car garages march along the ridgelines overlooking the obscenely green golf course, where the most notorious player recently sighted was said to be O.J. Simpson. Private pools built right up to the fairway are full of frolicking children watched over by Mexican nannies and soccer moms who drive family-style four-wheel drive trucks made by Mercedes-Benz. Blonde teenagers zip around in new Miatas and shiny Corvettes. How much more wholesome can you get?
Does Religion Breed Porn Stars?
I interviewed the gorgeous, extremely shapely Lexxi Tyler yesterday for the July issue, during which she disclosed that she's the daughter of a small-town pastor up in Oregon. I can't tell you how common a refrain that is - how many porn girls have told me they've come to the industry from a strict religious upbringing. But it makes perfect sense - parents tell their offspring enough times that they're forbidden to do something, or that that something is a "sin," then naturally the kids are going to want to run out and do precisely that.
Rikki Andersin Resurfaces as Fired Teacher Tericka Dye
Tara reports on FreePornStarPix.com:
Rumor has it that Dye's past came to light because she is currently divorcing and fighting with her ex over child custody.
In the porn world, she went by the name Rikki Andersin. Her biggest film was 'Tight Ass' for popular porn direct John T. Bone. She was the sole box cover girl and star of the film. Today, the movie is included in a compilation DVD by Metro called 'The Amazing Ass Trilogy 2', for $24.95 at Gamelink.com. (After making 'Tight Ass' with Rikki, John T. Bone made sequels using other actresses, hence
the trilogy compilation.)In the film, Rikki is involved in sex acts such as oral sex, double penetration, and anal sex.
Her movies include Ass Whores 12, Climax Shots 86 - Three To Tango, Double Your Pleasure Double Your Fun, Eruptions - Double Dippin, In Thru The Out Door 7, In Thru The Out Door 8, Party House 5, Sex Freaks 10, Tight Ass, Wet Cum Shots 6, Exit Only 6, Wet Cum Shots 7, Rug Munchers, Major Slut and Butt Brats 7.
Exit Only 6 is available on DVD for $4.89 @ FiveStarDVD.com. It features hardcore anal action and is a four hour compilation video.
Wet Cum Shots 6 is available on DVD for $6.95 @ FiveStarDVD.com.
'The sensation of being showered in hot jizz keeps these cum hungry sluts sucking and ----ing like the whores that they are!', says the film's description.
Wet Cum Shots 6 can also be viewed online, click here. A digitally remastered version of the film is also available at Gamelink.com, click here.
Her film Ass Whores 12 is a VHS only title that you can buy at Movies By Mail. It is another hardcore anal compilation, this time promising, 'Cock hungry asswhores ready for more! Deep anal penetrations!'.
Climax Shots 86 - Three To Tango is also available only on VHS and is available for purchase at MoviesByMail for $5.99. The compilation film offers up,'Double penetrations! Double cumshots!'.
'Double Your Pleasure Double Your Fun' appears to be completely out of print. I cannot find it anywhere on the internet. Rikki's biography page at Excalibur Films offers this tidbit,''Double Your Pleasure Double Your Fun' featured yet another Rikki Anderson DP, this time with David Hardman and Steve Hatcher.'
'Eruptions : Double Dippin' can be viewed online at Gamelink for $14.99, click here. I could not find it available on VHS or DVD anywhere online.Here is a short synopsis of the movie, 'Double the action, double the fun! Nothing but sex with multiple partners. It's twice the fun! With Double penetrations galore and ton's of anal. This nasty flick is sure to please. No holding back, this is hardcore, raunchy ass, nasty freaking porn at it's best.'
Rikki Andersin (aka Tericka Dye) is featured on the front box cover of the movie.
'In Thru The Out Door 8' is out of print, but 'In Thru The Out Door 7' is available at Adult CD Universe, click here. The movie is a 4 hour all sex, all anal compilation video.
'Party House 5' is only available on VHS and can be purchased at Movies By Mail for $5.99. Another Rikki Andersin title is 'Sex Freaks 10'. Alas, it is another VHS only title that can be purchased at Movies By Mail for $5.99.
'Two cocks are better then one! Package pleaser! Deep throat! XXX hardcore action.', is the description for the movie.
Rikki Andersin shows up on a fairly recent compilation DVD called 'Butt Brats 7'.'The brats are back for a seventh installment of ass-invading debauchery. Every asshole is penetrated to the fullest - and some brats even get the double penetration treatment! Four hours of double the pleasure, double the fun!', says the movie synopsis.
'Wet Cum Shots 7' is another Rikki Andersin movie. Its available on VHS for only $3.95 at RedLightVideo.
'Hardcore in your face facials! Jizz hungry sluts that can't get enough. From her ass to your tits!!!,' reads the film's synopsis.
'Major Slut' is no longer in print. According to a page for the film at ExcaliburFilms, the movie stars Rikki Andersin as a soldier who has sex in a variety of military scenerios.
'The recruitment officer tells Rikki Anderson that she can Be All She Can Be, unaware what she really craves is to be the Biggest Cum-guzzling, ass screwing whore the U.S. Army has ever seen! When she can't get enough action in the barracks, Rikki dreams of very rough sex with a pair of Russian soldiers, a toy interrogation by a fiendish Asian slut, and finally, a secret chamber full of technical screwing machines designed to break even the most insatiable major slut!,' reads the synopsis.
Rikki is yet again double penetrated by two male performers in the movie.
In the out of print 'Rug Munchers', Rikki shares a lesbian tryst with another female performer described as 'ravenous' by the reviewer.
Finally, Tericka Dye (aka Rikki Andersin) claims that she only shot porn footage for one day over a decade ago. I do not believe her, because the more digging I do on her porn career, the more I find non-compilation appearances of hers . On her Excalibur biography page, the out of print 'Rug Munchers' is described as 'one of her first films'. Where are the others? The Adult Film Database lists nine movies for her and they are all compilations. The page does not mention her non compilation films, such as 'Rug Munchers', 'Major Slut', 'Pussy Crimes', and Anal Cravings 13.
The IAFD (Internet Adult Film Database) has a listing for Rikki Andersin that mentions yet another non-compilation film for her called 'Valentino's Sexual Reality 4: Inside L.A.'. 'Anal Cravings 13' (click here to watch it at Gamelink) is another movie listed in Rikki's Excalibur Film biography. Nowhere is it mentioned to be a compilation and I do not believe that it is a complitation. I believe it to be a two hour gonzo movie.
I do not believe that Rikki Andersin could have film all of those scenes in one day, as she claims. She had led an admirable life after leaving porn, but should come clean about the full extent of her activities in the porn world.
