A reply to Donny Long from Dennis Ormond and Pink Kitty Video
Dennis emails:
As someone who knows Donny Long, I guess I am stunned to read what he had to say about Joe and I. Though I have not lived in California in four months or so, I think I can shed some light on this. I guess I will have to break this down piece by piece and I am sure a reasonable solution can be found that does not involve attacking/harming my children, calling the cops or any other such nonsense.
When I met Donny Long, I liked him immediately. He was friendly, charismatic and aggressive. After exposure to him on many occasions I approached him on working on a director type deal. We got along well so it seemed like a great idea. Not to mention he had some fresh ideas that I thought would sell well. So, the relationship between Pink Kitty and Donny Long was my doing and Joe had very little to do with it. Hell, the last time I spoke to Donny I was inviting him to Denver to go skiing. An offer that still stands.
The deal I struck was that Donny would get girls to do content trades that accentuate their personal websites and we would use the scene for a DVD release. I would pay for box covers, replication, art work, ect. Plus, the scenes would be either shot by me with Pink Kitty Equipment or I would pay someone to shoot them for us. As the deal developed, I found Donny was doing less content trading and more straight paying the girls. That really meant, I was just paying the girls. Instead of content trades, I sunk $5825 into paying the girls. This, of course, made splitting the profits with Donny 50/50 sort of silly. I was paying the same amount for talent that I would have if I had just hired them and paid them direct. I called Donny and explained this and he completely agreed. He said he would be willing to drop to 25 percent since it had not worked out like he had wanted either. He was VERY professional and open minded at this point. Donny was supplied copies of all content to use as he wished per the agreement. Locations had very little do with this as he used his place for some of the movie and I used my place for some of the movie. It was an even split.
The box cover has very little to do with us. We defer, 100 percent to Juicy on Box Covers. They are the masters and know what sells so we never second guess what they say about box covers. Since we really do not approve box covers, Donny was never given a chance to approve a box cover. Not having Donny's name on the box is a severe oversight that is regrettable. He deserved that accolade and this mistake was neither deliberate nor designed to be offensive. I hope he accepts my apology for that.
I think Donny is upset for two reasons.
1. He does not understand how movies sell and how we get paid. This is not a knock on Donny as I barely understand it at times. The movie is released and Juicy sells it. From there, Juicy send us a money, once a month, from people that have paid them. Since porn companies can be rather slow payers at times, the money tends to trickle in several hundred dollars at a time. It does add up but not overnight like Donny may think. To date, and I do not have the exact records in front of me, the movie is still shy of paying for itself by several thousand dollars. Keeping mind that the deal, whether or not Donny gets 50 percent or 25 percent, is entirely based on "after expenses" money. Donny is aggressively, yet mistakenly going on the offensive for a movie that has not even cleared its expenses phase and as such has no profit to split.
2. Poor communication with Donny. This situation rests squarely on my shoulders, not Joe's. I moved back to Denver before the movie was released. I was the primary point of contact with Donny. Joe never really wanted anything to do with idea nor Donny. Nonetheless, It was my failure to keep in constant contact with Donny that laid the foundation for this situation. He did call, dozens and dozens of times but lacking any information to give him, I stopped returning his calls. I had a million things to do with moving back to Denver and simply prioritized Donny in the wrong place. I had no access to information and was quite simply, as frustrated as he was. For this I also apologize to Donny, direct and man to man. He did call my wife, Michelle, on many occasions to find me. She usually hung up on him or ignored him and forget about anything he had to say. Michelle has been present during quite a few of Donny's "fuck these stupid cum buckets" sort of conversations and she hates him with a passion. Donny continually and without remorse speaks of women in aggressively negative and disparaging ways. That rarely makes women willing nor wanting to help him. Michelle was no exception.
I would like to reiterate that I like Donny. When I was in LA, he was a rather good friend of mine. We spoke of personal issues and shared confidences. I am still shell shocked he would threaten harm on my children over a BUSINESS dispute. I have no idea what he plans to accuse me of to get his money as it pertains to my children but I do not find it remotely professional nor even human to threaten a child's well being over a business dispute. Even the Mafia does not do that. When it comes to children, both ethically and legally it works like this: If you perceive or believe any child is being abused, neglected or otherwise harmed, as an adult, it is your legal obligation to report it. If an adult knows a child is being abused or harmed in any way and you do nothing, you are as guilty as the abuser in the eyes of the law. The person who fails to report the situation will likely share the same jail cell with the abuser. We have a situation here that is morally repugnant. Either Donny Long knew of a crime against a child and did nothing to protect those children, or, he is using children as a threat four months after the children left the state, to collect money. Either one is reprehensible and shows a radical lack of character. In his emails to Joe and the one posted here, he threatens to expose whatever harm I did my boys if I do not pay him. Does he not realize that if he truly believes a crime took place against a child and he did nothing, that he is admitting to a felony under California State Law? So, either Donny is a soon to be charged felon or he is threatening me to pay a bill not even due yet with calling down the thunder on children who had nothing to do with this. Donny? Do you have any idea how much harm you would do to my twin 4 year old boys if they spent one day away from us in foster care why we sorted out how much money you were owed? Who the hell uses a threat like that to collect money?
Many years ago I heard an interesting statement when I was in the Army. "You learn more about the person berating another then you do about the person being berated." What people in adult industry should realize from this is not anything about this deal between Pink Kitty and Donny Long. It is the same type of low grade miscommunication that happens no less then 20 times a week in the porno valley. After all, when this is said and done and the movie breaks into the green, we are likely to owe Donny $2000.00. Money we will gladly pay per the agreement. Professionals write letters and/or hire lawyers for crap like this. They don't threaten people's custody of their children. They don't post and send letters to people's neighbors. Last but not least, they do not give the cops anymore reason to look into the adult business then they already have. Donny's tactics could backfire on the entire industry as far as it pertains to shooting permits. How many gonzo shoots go on every day without a permit? 200? Maybe more?
So class, what you have learned today is more importantly this. Be careful what Donny Long knows about your family, your business or your personal life. If he feels slighted he will come for your children, your house, your business and anything else he can find.
What there is to know about me. In case some of you do not already know.
1. I have two wives, Michelle and adult actress, BisexualBritni.
2. Michelle is a sex addict that has been hospitalized on many occasions.
3. Michelle was jailed twice on domestic violence charges while we lived in California. Once, at the identical same time Donny was in jail for battering Lana Croft.
4. I have identical twin boys that are 4 years old. They resided in the house in question for 8 months. They went to school every day at Canoga Park Preschool and were NEVER present during any shoot or adult activity. All shoots were done while they were at school or while I had the boys out of the home. "Just Dave", one of our videographers can vouch for that.
5. I moved back to Denver because it was getting harder and harder to keep the boys away from the industry. They got tired of having to be out all day on Saturday and coming home late if a shoot went over.I offer any 3rd party mediator to take a look at the paperwork and write what you find. I will fax you the current distribution numbers and expense report. It will CLEARLY show you that Donny Long has initiated a war over money that has not even been made yet much less owed. I can clearly understand why he feels slighted but enough is enough. Donny, you can call me at 303-520-4412 and we can work this out or you can continue to go after my children. The question is what do you want? A fair an equitable solution or revenge? My children wait for your answer and though very young, I am sure they would not enjoy talking to family investigators so you can get money. I challenge Luke or Gene Ross to accept this mediation offer so this squabble can go away.

BiSexual Britni emails:
Twas the night before Donny WRONG
The Night Before This-Schmuck
Twas the night before Xmas and Donny, the louse,
That creature was stirring up trouble for my house.
The fuckover stung, but Donny Wrong didn't care;
He had hopes he could run off with more than his share.
The children aren't even sacred in his sick head
His visions of wealth have made him braindead.
He wants to cause trouble for innocent kids
Confuse and abuse them so he can get his.
And from my cell phone there arises such clatter
Donny Wrong called me fifty-five times on this matter
Demanding a paycheck for nothing deserved
He threatens me daily; it leaves me unnerved.
This is the same guy who's addicted to snow
And who can't get it up with a fuck nor a blow
What then to my wondering ears should I hear?
He abuses hard drugs; the rumors are severe.
With a little more charm he'd make up for that dick;
It's bent like a BANANA OR BOOMERANG STICK.
More happens illegal in that shack of his
But his girl's so controlled, she can't be filmed to kiss.
"Now the windows!" he shouts at her, "Laundry! The kitchen!"
But monogamous housewife's no role for that vixen
It sounds like a case of a Porn Stud gone SOFT;
Since he can't get HIS up, he holds DOWN Lana Croft.
Then he beats her as well, the masoganist male...
But he played the wrong game and he went straight to JAIL!
I just hope Lana sees it before very long
That he's not Mr. Right --- no, he's quite MR. WRONG!!
The porn girls can't stand him; they say that he's soulless.
He sees his name everywhere... ON ALL OF THE NO-LISTS!
He can't keep his cock up so he beats on his girl
His complete lack of morals could just make you hurl.
Targeting innocents, threatening babies;
The masoganist dog acts as if he's got rabies.
Attacking and biting at those in his path;
He's so self-delusional, he can't do the math.
Without euthanasia, he's bound to keep biting;
He's just fighting, it seems, for the mere sake of fighting.
If he stays on this route, it would be my delight
To allow him to hurt himself over this fight....
If the boy doesn't quit with his sicko act quick,
New York Joe might acquaint him with his graphite hockey stick
Merry Christmas to all, hope that he sees the light.
Donny Long responds:
Two Crooks and A Guy Wanting Revenge I have read Dennis' post and he clearly admits to a lot fo wrong doings towards me, but he is trying to take all the blame from joe and thats not true.joe is a loud mouth p****y that is all talk and challenged me at a game of war.joe said I will work at bk before I give you a dime. For example, my name, Donny Long, not on the box cover, or as talent or director in this movie. These are things that Joe and Dennis cannot lie about. But there are a lot of lies in his stories that the public cannot confirm and thats why Im writing this reply.I do know how sales work but i also know how liers and back stabbers work. so now I dont want no damn commission on some movie my name is nowhere on. I just want my talent rate and directing rate so they do owe me money and wont be man enough to pay me. Joe said i will work at bk before I give you a dime. so ill go by and order bk from him soon if i dont get paid. I was never friends with Dennis or Joe. our relationship was more of me watching out of how they are going to f*** me over next. dennis and joe saw me as a doollar sign to rip me off for money. as far as the content trading half of the scenes were for content,it was an expensive movie to shoot with the kind of scenes we had. bottom line is that I have been royally f***** over in every way they have been able to do possible. Yes, I have been very vengeful and there is damn good reason for it, and it will continue till i get my money. I dont care about what dennis says. For those of you who dont know me i have been here for one year in la and i shoot alot like 2 scenes a day 5-6 days a week on a good week. I have just been signed at avn and have done 350 scenes in one year. The companies I work for ,alot of them I have been shooting for consistently for a year now. his bullshit about me and women is not true because if it was do you think I would be working that much?as far as that little dumb bitch BiSexual Britni with her stupid childish little rhyme thats about all you can do is rhyme some bullshit about me!!!!!! i do drugs? thats funny coming from a crack head I dont even go to porn parties I come home and spend time with my women. you on the other hand are a crack head dumb bitch that cant get anything better than a fat old married man with 2 kids and your only 19 thats said!!!!!!! go check me out all over the web. You don't read bad shit about me go to pornstar performance.com I have sevaral good right ups. These losers on the other hand go read about them anywhere all bad!!!!!!!!!!!!! see how joe stiffed someone for 500 bucks on pornstarperformance and a bunch of other stuff on luke and adult fyi. since I have put up my first post about these losers I have got alot of emails from people that have also been screwed. For example I know of atlest 3 girls that got the famous line from joe at ama, "come to my house and fuck my little tiny dick, and fat ass for content and do scenes for free and I will build you a web site!!!!!!" Well beware because look at joes website, these girls got no website and also joe sells the content to everyone, everwhere from his amacontent website and the money goes in his pocket!!!!!! I have been on several sets and said joe's name and people are like f****. with this being said I have also had alot of people tell me and email me stories of how they got fucked. "see luke is back story" and I say this to any scum bags in this businness that want to fuck talent over, directors and website ownwers and anyone for that matter over and over and over like Dennis and Joe have. A lot of this business is run shady and illegally and if you f@@@ over people on a daily basis, your going to piss off the wrong person, that is going to give it right back to you in the same way you did it to him, right or wrong. And going to make it impossible for Dennis and Joe to run a porn company illegally. My actions towards joe and dennis as far as them shooting without permits do not affect anyone in this industry, but themand anyone who wants to work for them. Him saying it could backfire is more of his bs. if anything now, you should hire me because I have made a friend at the vice unit that might give you a break if you ever have a problem lol. Like I said more of Dennis' bs trying to get back at me. Dennis you can't touch, me you got alot to lose and alot of dirt, I dont have shit. I love how what comes around goes around. Also all the mail, I have got says the same thing they deserve it and take them out in everyway you can. So dennis and Joe, no one unless they are dumb or does not know you guys is going to feel bad for your sorry asses.You can write all day all you want to bash me but im shooting during the day as talent making money and you're not doing shit but looking at your cameras wishing you could shoot, and watching out for your neighbors. This should be a lesson for all. The children thing is a bunch of bs for him to try to make me look like the bad guy. even though your a unfit father and those kids that your wife has tried to run away with serval times shouldnt have to deal with you. I dont believe in them having to deal with the state and im going to leave that one alone for now. But you do deserve everything someone can do to you to ruin you. As for the 2000 dollars, Dennis says he will owes me, he gave me way off numbers of what the movie would sell and made it sound like I was going to get like 4-6 grand plus my name all over it. Think about it, why would I do all that work for just my talent rate? He is a liar and a thief so be careful guys. They owe me now after they have screwed me 1800.00 for my talent rate which is 3 scences and 2500 for directing, and talent coordination and all the work and content trade those girls would have never done for there dvd only mine!!!!!!!! If they do pay me maybe, just maybe, I will forget all of this. As for me battering my gf here she is with the true story: Lana Croft says: Hey guys, Dennis and Joe are liars. I was so angry and so upset that day we had a big arguement, I ended up calling the cops. When the cops arrived, they turned all the things around. But I was so upset I went along with it. He has never hit me, nor done anything to hurt me. We still live together and are happy together.
Erica McLean Pays Tribute To Her Late Husband By Shooting A 69 In Every Scene
Jason Sechrest emails:
(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- Directrix ERICA McLEAN, successor to the late legend CLIVE McLEAN's phenomenally successful Hustler Video series, "Barely Legal," will begin production on the 69th installment Dec. 1.
The movie, featuring a "69" in every scene, is set to star naughty newcomer starlets JANA, APRIL AUBREY, REBECA LINARES, MISTY STONE and RENAE CRUZ in sexually compromising positions with famed male porn studs JEREMY HOLMES, DERRICK PIERCE, LEE STONE and JOHNNY CASTLE.
ERICA started the "Barely Legal" line with her husband CLIVE in July 1999. After working behind the scenes and standing by her husband's side for every shoot, ERICA picked up the torch after CLIVE's death to direct "Barely Legal 53" through "Barely Legal 57." But then ERICA went on hiatus, penning a book detailing her love story with CLIVE and his controversial battle with cancer and the alternative medical community.
Now, with her book completed, she is making a return to the director's seat and plans to remain there indefinitely. "We always keep the quality up and the girls fresh and a sense of humor," she says. "It is my heart connection with CLIVE and a part of our legacy. We were passionate together and want to help others keep that passion alive."
So, This Is How It Ends?
Bornyo emails: "So is it just not news that avn awards are exchanged for sexual favors to the avn writers? has it always been so, and therefore isn't newsworthy? Tell me you aren't involved in this vast pornographic conspiracy whereby the hopes and dreams of porn starlets and fanboys alike are shattered into so many pieces of broken lexan statuettes?"
AVN's Pete Warren emails: "Sorry, Bornyo, but it's NOT news, because news is something based in fact, and not the contemptuous fantasies of embittered people who spend their days anonymously spreading those fantasies across the Internet to make themselves feel better. And the stuff our statuettes are made of is called Lucite."
Houston Don emails:
With all the hatred and disgruntled people out there, both inside and out of the industry, that get pissed off about the AVN awards, you'd think there must be a menu with prices attached to gain awards. This idea has been around for years and while it does appear that heavy advertisers get more awards, there are numerous reasons why that might be a case of the chicken & egg argument. If a company sinks a lot of money into a movie like Corruption (an excellent message movie I looked at earlier this year; , it stands to reason that they are going to spend more money advertising and promoting it to recoup their expenses. As the trade leader for the industry, AVN has a LOT of heavy advertisers that eventually compete for the same awards and not everyone wins the big name awards. If it were simply a case of spending more money in advertising, AVN would be foolish to allow a title like Fashionistas: Safado, Pirates, or other big name winner to win so many awards while blowing off so many competing titles. Advertising and promotions admittedly raise the awareness of the voting group so they they feel obligated to at least glance at a title but the cause and effect between how it impacts the voters is rarely looked at (since AVN staffers and the limited number of outsiders tend to get so defensive while sour grapes and outsiders act like spoiled kids in casting blame without any proof because their favorites didn't win something).
If only half the voters for an award watch Britney Rears 3 while all of them watch another high end project, the likelihood of Britney winning drops quickly unless you get a lot of idiots voting on what they haven't seen. While possible, my discussions with several such voters leads me to believe that this is unlikely at best (if they are going to vote for a major award, they tend to at least spot check it). Each group in the industry conducting awards also has their own way of doing things and while you can fuss about methodology, unproven accusations of sexual favors, payoffs, or other direct bribes strike me as unreasonable and unfair. Just because AVN is the big kid on the block doesn't prove anything in and of itself. Some of their staff may not be the most congenial folks you'll meet (online or in person) but as much as I disagree with some of their choices, running accusations such as Bornyo's tongue-in-cheek comment should be prefaced with a statement "Without any proof whatsoever...". There are enough high profile, costly projects (O: The Power of Submission comes to mind) that are advertised heavily but never get nominated for any significant awards to disprove the pay for play accusations and I think it's unlikely that a performer starts screwing dozens of voters in order to influence the outcome of a category (from what I've seen of the AVN, XRCO, FOXE, and other groups at least).
The Pornographer Next Door
TheDevil emails:
hi luke, Im a concerned resident who lives in woodland hills and I just received a letter regarding Joe Loughlin? The letter I just received just revealed that my neighbor Joe is filming pornography. This was a letter that was put in my mail box but I dont know by who...Im glad either way. I am not aware of the laws as far as filming pornography, but the reason Im here, writing on your website is because I want Joe to know that his neighbors like me, and my sister who lives 3 houses down the street have kids who are all girls and underage. This is very disturbing, unacceptable, and we are glad that someone was willing to notify us for the safety of our children. Please post my letter, me and my sister want something done about this. Thank you very much. -Joe's neighbor at Galendo St. P.S. This is the copy of the letter.
Dear Neighbors, I am writing this letter to let everyone in our neighborhood to know about a very disturbing issue. Our neighbors named Joe Loughlin and Dennis Ormen, who lives at 4--- Galendo St. Woodland Hills Ca 91364 are filming pornography. They are performing sexual acts on camera with young girls, and running a business under the website of www.amacontent.com. Its been bothering me for months and finally did a research at www.Google.com using Joe Loughlin’s name to know what kind of business he’s doing in that house. And this is what I found out: they are filming pornography without a permit and running a business out of a residence in the mentioned address. That is illegal! It is affecting us, and let me mention one example. One of our neighbors was reported to the Animal Control by Joe Loughlin because our neighbor’s dog was barking and it is "bothering the crap out of Joe while shooting his porn." This letter is being distributed to the entire neighborhood. Please pass the message. I can only distribute so much. Now, I need your participation to stop this! You can call the West Valley Police Station at 818-374-7611, or the West Valley Vice Unit at 818-374-7866 when you see cars or girls arriving at the mentioned address. This is something we need to put action into to PROTECT THE SAFETY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ESPECIALLY OUR CHILDREN. I have 3 girls that goes out to play in the afternoon, and I don’t want them to be exposed to this kind of environment. Thank You- Your Neighbor
Mike South responds:
I read your letter to Luke with bemused interest. Untill I reached the part where you say: "This is very disturbing, unacceptable, and we are glad that someone was willing to notify us for the safety of our children."
The turth is your children are at far greater risk of being sexually abused by your neighbors, your clergy, your childrens teachers or day care provider and your US Congressman than they are by the people shooting porn in your neighborhood. So that whole thing about the safety of your children is hogwash.
Now I presume you don't want your children exposed to the filming and that is a fair concern, but as long as the people shooting abide by the local laws and keep what they are doing confined to the private areas of the property then you have no beef. Should they stray, report them to the proper authorities.
If your real agenda is that you don't like pornography being shot in your neighborhood perhaps you would find a less tolerant society to be more to your likeing, there are plenty in the middle east that might appreciate your moral outrage. In short, until your porn making neighbor actually does something illegal you should probably keep your puritanical nose out of his business....That goes for your nosey neighbors as well.

Whatever Happened To Lukeford.com?
Scott Fayner is working on a screenplay, so updates will be sporadic.
Whatever Happened To Defiance Films?
DefianceFilms.com is down. I haven't heard of them making any new movies for months.
A few months ago, Anthony Simone and Keith O'Connor were pushed out. There was talk about arrests and a lawsuit but nothing happened with that. Everybody went their separate ways and they've maintained a working relationship.

Rob Spallone Seeks New Girls
I call him Nov. 29 at his new talent agency (Star World) in Chatsworth.
"I'm at the office waiting for the phone guy and the computer guy," he says.
"Do you recommend anybody who builds websites?"
robspallone@aol.com.
"I met with some agents in Florida. I'm going back to meet some people in clubs. I'm going to New York in January to meet some people in clubs.
"I need 15 new girls in the next three months. Once I have that, the ones who come to me who've left Derek, etc I can add."
Mary Carey emails me: "In virgin islands, drama galore, call my sidekick phone..."
I call her. "I can't really talk," she says. "It's two dollars a minute. Everything's cool now. I was jumpy."
Nov. 30. I call Rob Spallone. He's on his way to buy curtains for his new office.
"My new dog is going away for three weeks," Rob says. "He's going to school."
"Yesterday I was pulling out and I saw these five girls and another girl that was dressed up. I knew they were porno chicks. I introduced myself. The girl [Lisa Ann] says, 'Oh, you're Rob Spallone. I just opened my own modeling agency too.'
"The boyfriend of one of the girls is from the same place as Derek. He says Derek is not allowed back there. That they'll kill him if he ever goes back."
On Oct. 28, Derek emailed me:
For the record, I shall be going to London from Dec 7th – 17th this year, You are welcome to post this on your site. My tickets are bought and I’ll send you a copy Monday for verification.
Anyone who’s looking for me in London, can find me between those dates at the St Martins Lane Hotel in Covent Garden. I will send a copy of my British passport for verification also. It remains current.
Good luck to Rob and his tale telling. Used to be called a rat, not sure what they call it nowadays, maybe still a rat. Regardless, it’s about time someone called his bluff and I’m just the guy to do it.
Has AVN Jumped The Shark?
I find it spiritually cleansing to bash Adult Video News on a regular basis.
Tod Hunter writes:
Has AVN jumped the shark? I wonder. I have heard – as have we all – about production companies and talent pulling out of Adult Expo, most recently Mike South, and I personally know one performer who is leaving Las Vegas on Saturday night, after Adult Expo ends on Saturday afternoon, rather than stick around for the awards show and pay for another hotel night. I haven't attended the January awards in several years, and I like that (especially because I don't have to listen to The Garage Band From Hell) but it strikes me as colossally arrogant to hold the awards at Mandalay Bay, two-plus miles up the crowded Las Vegas Strip from the Venetian.
But let's look at something else: the latest Los Angeles magazine list of L.A.'s most influential people. There among Cardinal Mahony, Walt Disney Company CEO Robert Iger and Magic Johnson are Ron Braverman from Doc Johnson, L.A. Direct honcho Derek Hay, and Vivid chief Steve Hirsch. Nobody from AVN.
Maybe somebody at AVN pissed off Los Angeles magazine. AVN was also conspicuously absent from the recent article about Sasha Grey, which featured a half-page picture of Mark Spiegler and a look back at porn all the way back to the 1945 exploiter Mom and Dad, but only mentions AVN in passing near the end, in reference to the January awards, and adds this observation:
Imagine the editors of Variety choosing the Academy Award nominations – then handing out Oscars to the winners – and you have a pretty good idea of how much manipulation can go on behind the scenes during the run-up to the AVNs. Coincidentally or not, companies that advertise consistently in Adult Video News often take home awards in Las Vegas. Actresses trying to secure a nomination stop in to schmooze at the magazine's Chatsworth offices. A Spiegler client once presented dolls of herself to editors and writers. Another baked cookies.
I was there when the Best New Starlet candidate brought in the cookies. She won, too. Paul was incredulous: "She brought cookies?" This is turning into an interesting story.
In January, I'll be at Adult Expo and I'll see for myself. If it's full of people, that's news, and if it's empty, that's news too. Either way I'll cover it, and I'll try to be factual and not let my personal opinions overshadow my reportage.
Mark Spiegler emails: "Luke, I know you were just quoting Tod Hunter (who was quoting an article in Los Angeles Magazine) however, for the sake of accuracy, I would like to point out to you that no client of mine ever went to the AVN with baked cookies and won an award. I believe the girl they were alluding to was Violet Blue and, whether or not this ever actually even occured, it would have been before I represented her."
Mike South writes:
Hey AVN....GET IT RIGHT WOULD YA?: While I appreciate the inclusion of me and my company in the begining of your bit on DVD to burn, even though I hade to write you to get it done ... There is one thing I want to make perfectly clear VIVID IS NOT THE FIRST STUDIO TO OFFER DVD TO BURN NOT NOT NOT And you f---ers know it...I don't care HOW much they paid you to say otherwise. The first studio to offer DVD to burn is South River Video at www.easymadedvd.com And you f---ers at AVN know it cuz you did a bit on it over a year ago...If you'd quit stuffing Vivids checks into your pockets long enough to look it up youd see that....

XBiz v. AVN From Where I Sit: I went to XBiz.com it loaded fast (it should I have 8Mbit cable) and I made note of the top 5 stories, all 5 were actual news items or opionons
They were Explicit Video Game Law Declared Unconstitutional Google Infringement Case Likely to Be Decided in January Porn Star, Director Kid Vegas to Face Sentencing Durex Cites Sex Toys as Reason for Sales Surge Condoms Now Mandatory on French Cable TV
Of these....none is a press release. So I mosey on over to the 800 lb Gorilla AVN.com The site loads slow and after about 15 seconds I get the following message: A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script? I tell it to abort the script and the site loads the rest of the way
The top 5 stories there: A Commentary on Andy Rooneys Commentary by Mark Kernes Tianna Lynn To Appear In Maryland Adult Store Robbed By Man Claimiing He Had Gun Movie Nights at Hefs Aren't Like Some Think Moniker Teams With Internext For Live Domain Auction
Now the question you might ask yourself is which of these sites have stories that are more important to YOU. Im not going to tell you the answer, you have to determine that for yourself BUT I am going to whup up on AVN, that dog ass slow site they have dumps so much unwanted s--- on your computer, including the use of pop under windows, that it ACTUALLY threatens to make your computer unresponsive...and this computer is a 3GHz Pentium 4HT with 2GB RAM and 8Mbit cable. AVN its high time you got off your collective asses and overhauled that turd you call a website, maybe redesign it so that it doesn't assault your customers computer as well as his/her intelligence.
Can anyone defend Red Light District...?
...when they put out new movie editions with new directors, when a director who has left the company has made that title their own. Cases in point are Cum Stained Casting Couch, Throat Gaggers, etc. I have two gripes with this. One, is that it shows little faith in their new directors to develop new concepts and titles and it gives them the pain of having to make someone else's title their own. Secondly, it debases the effort that the original directors put into the movie, and can turn the movie line in to one to avoid, rather than a must have. Some titles should be put to bed and let the orignal developer of the idea take lasting credit for it. Recycling titles also misleads the customer into thinking they are getting the same product as before - which they are not. Red Light just seem to be on a role of making a hash of things at the moment. Can anyone defend them?
Len responds: "The Throat Gaggers series has been directed by David Luger (#1-3), Robbie Fischer (#3-4), Jake Malone (#5-10), Martin Del Toro (#11), and Mr. Pete (#12)."
Jimbo73 responds: "True. So will we end up asking who was the best Throat Gaggers director like we ask, who's your favourite James Bond?"
Is Sasha Grey Stupid?
I interviewed Sasha, …before hand I had read her MySpace page and she came off as slightly pretentious. So I actually came ready to catch her slip, but she fielded questions, tried to catch her up on her supposed love of films (what 18 year old chick who enjoys taking it up the ass has a penchant for criterion dvds? Most the whores cannot even spell DVD) she handled it and came with it. a breath of fresh air. the bitch is chess. damn if I was not impressed. Not that I am an intellectual genius, but I credit myself with being smarter than a box of rocks, which, as we all know… Side note: I hate doing interviews, simply by the fact, most of these chics define themselves by their possessions, Cars, jewelry, nay “bling”, and little dogs. Remove that, what have you? I’m dead 3 questions in. left in a sea of vapidness. Sasha was far removed from that. This teenybopper is one of the sharpest tools in the box.
Ivor Biggun writes:
She's certainly smarter than the average bear. To me she comes across as someone who thinks she has the inside scoop on this industry, how it uses people up, and believes herself smart enough to go in with her eyes open and turn it to her advantage. That's what I get from reading her bletherings about "commoditizing" herself for our consumption and suchlike.
I think she'll ultimately discover that the joke's on her.
Soopergrizz posts: "She appears to be ahead of the curve in acknowledging that she's the paint not the painter, but knowing that doesn't stop her from getting splattered on a canvas anyway - it's so postmodern!"
Ivor Biggun writes: "Egad, just imagine a conversation between her and popwhore."

So my experience for the Insider was overall good. No, my mom did not try and make me quit over Thanksgiving, but of course they felt that was oh so dramatic, as you could tell by the smirk on my face. God I wanted to laugh so bad at some points. They used three tapes to record the two minute segment...sheeesh! Although I did have a problem with the initial interview when asked, are you scared to get hiv...my answer wasn't just,"no". It is a risk all performers take in this business, but our health system we have intact is adequate, not to mention a different blood test than your then the standard one. On the second segment that aired last night, when the "Dr." said, I hate to disagree with you because our testing is sometimes flawed...that's generalizing, we get tested once a month---not once a year where yes, if you don't catch it it could cause infertility. I don't want the public to think I don't have a clear idea about my profession, I take it seriously, and stds aren't something that should be brushed off the shoulder oh so lightly as they implied. The Insider was a lot less judgmental than Tyra, after all it's just ratings they are after! The theme for the Tyra segment is "Teens in the sex Trade" not a day in the life of...

I caught it last night and I thought Sasha did great! I was so proud of her, showing the "mainstream" world that all porn stars are not babbling idiots or raging drug addicts! I already told Sasha but it was great, she's awesome, I put her on the cover of PXP's "Smoking Hot" and also worked with her on the Redlight Gang Bang! I love working with her, she's a true "porn star" and I'm a huge fan!! Love you, girl! (It was sooo much better than Tyra Banxxx on "Tyra Banks" remember when she cried and said she didn't want to do porn and Tyra was gonna help her get some mainstream modeling jobs?) I guess that didn't work out too well! That appearance continued the widely held misconception that all porn stars are forced to do it and hate it! Not Sasha!!! Too cool. Quick plug...keep an eye out for Claudio and my new PXP release, "A-OK" coming out in January! Look out for Kissy Kapri...AWESOME!
Attorney Michael Fattorosi Of AdultBizLaw.com
(I've seen his booths at shows for the past three years.)
We have lunch at Il Fornaio in Beverly Hills Nov. 28.
Even though Michael drives a sports car, he's 20 minutes late because he went to the wrong place.
I order a margharita pizza and a lemonade. Michael gets a salad.
He's running for the board of the Free Speech Coalition.
"I see this industry changing in the next five years," he says. "I'd compare the situation to Hollywood in the 1950s where the studio was the star and then the director and talent. Now we have Vivid and Evil Angel movies. But a lot of the buying public looks for directors first. It's a matter of time until the industry takes a Hollywood approach where it's the director and star before studios.
"The DVD market will change dramatically. In five years, the only porn you will see on DVD will be features. When did you last go to a store and buy software?"
Luke: "A couple of years ago."
Michael: "Exactly. Most people download it off the internet. People will download a gonzo scene and do what you need to do. Now gonzos are 85% of the DVD porn market.
"The start-up costs for a DVD company are dramatically higher than for a web company. For a DVD company, you need $500,000 to start and you shouldn't expect any income for many months."
"Who are the two biggest porn stars?"
"Jenna Jameson and Tera Patrick?"
"No. Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton. They've sold more porn DVDs than anybody."
"Remember when you were 18 and trying to get a girl to watch a porn movie with you? It was nearly impossible. Now it isn't. Girls Gone Wild is socially acceptable. But girls don't want to see gonzo and gaping holes... They want a story."
"Porn is still made, not for the consumes, but for the directors. They make what they want to see. I don't see companies being responsive to what their customers want."
"If you shoot fetish and transsexuals, that will sell all day long."
"I was a criminal defense lawyer. If I was willing to represent people who killed somebody, raped somebody, I don't have a problem representing someone who does porn and makes a profit."
Michael's dated a few porn stars. His longest relationship (nine months) of this kind was with Tiffany DiGivanni (more).
She calls. Michael laughs. "I was just talking about you."
Luke: "Ask her if she regrets it [porn]."
Michael: "She said no."
"She has a two year old child. She had a custody battle. We went to court together. Her ex's lawyers brought up porn. The judge said, 'Unless you can show that her adult work makes her a bad mother, I don't want you to mention 'porn' or 'pornography' in my courtroom.'
"She had to leave California to share custody of her child and to be with her family."
"What 2257 does is economically weed people out of the industry [through cumbersome record-keeping requirements]."
Michael is the attorney for Gold Star Models. He advises them not to represent foreign talent who don't have greencards and the legal right to work in the U.S. (because of 2257).
Luke: "How does LA Direct Models get foreign talent work?"
Michael: "Derek has resources that other agents don't have."
Luke: "What do you tell Americans who want to shoot porn overseas?"
Michael: "To contract with a local company to do it and then license
the material."
Writers Guild Wants To Give Money To Paul Thomas
I get an email from someone at the WGA:
Hi Luke: I came across your name while researching an adult film actor/writer/director named Paul Thomas.
I am trying to find contact info for this person because the WGA has money that is due to him. It sounds crazy that the WGA would have money for an adult film entertainer but we do! We receive monies from foreign countries for american film/tv projects show overseas. Foreign levies are not covered in our basic agreement so, as such, we have not control over what gets paid, when it gets paid, or how much. We pretty much act as a receiving agent for foreign levies and we distribute the money. Since foreign levies are not covered in our basic agreement we receive money for signatory as well as non-signatory projects. This can include adult films.
So...we have money for Paul Thomas but I can't locate him and I was wondering if you can be of any help (my problem, by the way, is often made more difficult by the fact that most adult film people use pseudonyms). Since I come across this problem every so often I'm wondering if there is some sort of adult film organization that keeps some sort of database of adult film actors/directors?
XFanz Taking Over The World
An industry player tells me: "The XBiz, XFanz people have this rap: 'We're nice people. We're not trying to compete with AVN or with anybody. We just want to do our thing under the radar. We just want to buy ads on your site.' One day we're going to wake up and they will be number one in their category."
Cheyenne Silver (Cara Fawn) Marries, Has Car Accident, Finds God
She (nee Cara Ballou) describes herself on her MySpace. She says she had a daughter at age 18. She says that she worked on film sets of all types for eight years, "some more on the risque side." She married Josh July 23, 2005. In early December, they were in a car crash. "I sustained two fractures to the skull and one to my neck." She realized that it was only by God's grace that she was alive.
She stars in The Villikon Chronicles. She has high self-esteem: "I am passionate and loving, rageing like a river and peaceful as the stream, flowing with intuition. I am grounded, with my head up in the clouds, ever dreaming, always creative."
Josh writes: "My wife and i were in a horific acident in december of 2005 and we have been battling and sevear brain injerie since. how ever Cara fawn is the love of my life!"

writes on XPT: "Sweet! On Cheyenne's myspace under her schools

Report: K-Fed was having fling with porn star
But ‘they're just friends who have sex,’ says a source
Federline met Kendra Jade, an “exotic dancer” and former porn star, in Las Vegas in December 2005 while his wife was visiting her family in Kentwood, Louisiana, according to Star magazine, and the two stayed in touch.
A Fox News commentator (Julie Roberts?) says that anyone would have to have low self-esteem to sleep with Kevin Federline and that we all know that porn stars have low self-esteem.
Jackie emails: "Was Kendra Jade really hitting it with Kevin Federline? How could she get with that zero when she could be with a hero like you?"
Jackson says: Lori Lust, that most shameless of all Porn Valley self-promoters, is back at it again; open the flyer and see how she gives the impression that somehow Howard Stern and Playboy are sponsoring her party; I’d be willing to bet that if Stern and Playboy knew she was using their likenesses to promote her party, they’d both fire off cease-and-desist orders…..
Jesus Loves Porn Stars?
Lately, if you’re a regular reader of LukeIsBack, you might have come to believe there’s the beginning of some kind of exodus, by porn chicks, from porn to Jesus. I don’t think so! I’d hardly call a half-dozen or so porn chicks suddenly finding religion much of an exodus. But if I can offer a smidgen of advice to these girls–and I know I’m probably the last guy they need advice from, spiritual or otherwise–here it is:
Before (or while) you girls go off finding Jesus you also might want to think about finding a job.
While I respect the beliefs of those who believe they’ve found solace bathing in the spiritual glow of their lord and saviour, you might find that Mr. J.H. Christ is more generous with love and forgiveness than he is with cold, hard, cash.
Fights On Set
Kami Andrews posts on ADT: "I punched a male co worker during a scene once. he was tougher than me, he didnt really care. I also openly taunted a female co worker during a scene (cause Im a bitch) and honestly tried to suffocate another, that one got a nomination, but I really did want to kill her."
Absynth posts:
I remember Ariana Jollee and Alex Sanders getting into a VERY heated battle during a scene for Michael Ninn's "Neo Pornographia 2." This was in the actual scene, not BTS. Apparently he hit her harder than he was supposed to and she flipped the f--- out on him... which shocked the Hell out of me, because we all know the kind of scenes she's best known for...
Jewel DeNyle posts on ADT:
Not worth the money when you get right down to it as it's mostly a fan based show when it use to be all about distribution. I know several companies that are getting suites and meeting with distributors there to skip the hassle of the floor crowd. This is think is the way to go if you just want to do business and not be bothered with having a huge expense and get right down to business and skip all the show boating.
Attorney Michael Fattorosi from Adultbizlaw.com posts:
This is also affecting the girls. I know about 12-15 that had their bookings to sign also cancel. It is very expensive for the companies to exhibit @ AVN/AEE. I have a small 10x10 booth for my firm and the costs will easily exceed $10,000 and my performers are going to sign for free. Im surprised that more companies arent passing on booths and grabbing hospitality suites. That seems like a mucher smarter idea.
Tricia Devereaux posts:
Michael - yea, two of the girls signing at the EA booth that I hadn't talked to for about month called me a couple weeks ago to confirm that Evil Angel hadn't decided to cancel our booth. I wouldn't think that there will be any more companies cancelling their booths that haven't already done so, as there are now steep cancellation fees involved. Yea - union labor at conventions is VERY expensive. Plus, you have to rent the carpet or bring in the carpet yourself, which is a logistic nightmare, so you just end up renting it. Labor is per/hour no matter what they do, minimum of one hour at $70 - $90/hour. For our booth, it's about a 6 hour setup with 3 - 4 workers. Same for taking down. Porter fee for MOVING the booth. All those cool plasma TVs you see at booths? $500 - $700/week. Internet connection at your actual booth? $1200 for the week. (People at the EA booth will be using their Blackberry's and PDAs.) But if you're a website based company, you need an internet connection just to show your product.
We've known for years that we don't get our 'money worth for business done' at the convention. It's not ONLY about that. It's about the fans as much as it is company image and media coverage.
Mike South posts:
For the first time in over 20 years I will not be attending. the reason is simple...it isnt worth what it costs even if you don't get a booth. It has turned into nothing but a fan show, hotels have jacked the rates sky high and by the time its all said and done I will have dropped 3-5K with little or no ROI. That money is better spent elsewhere...plain and simple. I will miss seeing some of my friends that I only see once a year but but for what it costs I could fly em to mexico Beach and take em fishing for a week and still save money.
Jules Jordan posts: "we're going big! and will have about 7 girls signing, JJV is about fans, not just the bottom line."
She emails me:
I talk to Joy about a week ago shes hangin in there can you believe its been 11 month since she was arrested and still sitting in county [jail] she hasnt waiting to do her time courts keep putting it off I fel bad for her but she seems like she dealing well. I did a photo shoot about a month ago for Taylor Wayne let me tll ya that was so weird its only been at least 5 years lol crazy I dont know what mag.it will be in but it was a bit strange after all this time.
Yeah, shes in county I think shes gonna get 2 years w/ 1/2 time so shes been there a year she may get time served but then she has to wait for NY to get her and do her time there and that is a whole other story.
Heather Veitch's Affair
I ended up sleeping with my lover...when I got home my husband had gotten into my house and cut up everything that I had ever owned. All my clothes were gone.. totally destroyed. I knew that I had to leave. I had one outfit, the outfit I was wearing. I put my son with my grandma and I flew to northern california to go stay with my cousin. The night I came into town I went out to san francisco. I found a cool club and while I was there I was offered some drugs .. which I took. I was dancing on the dance floor when I was aproched by the club owner who first asked me what I was on.. then asked me if I wanted a job as a go-go dancer. I said yes. After that night I spent many nights drowning the pain of the love that I lost.
Donny Long Vs. Pink Kitty
Donny Long emails:
Hey luke please put this up on your site for everyone to read titled "the begining of the end of joe Loughlin and dennis ormen ama/pink kitty". Once upon a time dennis from ama aka pink kitty came to me when I was shooting for them as talent and he said we like you and your idieas we would like to hire you as our director and have you shoot some dvds for us and we will do a big press release in avn that "donny long" is pink kittys new contract director and that it would also be good for exsposure for me as talent in the biz and that I would learn a lot since I had never held camara before. Also that my name would be on the box and in the search engine under talent for the movies and under director. I thought, well what can it hurt what the hell. Only problem is that I had heard a lot of bad things about joe and that to watch out because he has stiffed alot of people for money. see example on pornstarperformance.com titled Joe from AMA.......Burns Talent $500.00 . also I even saw joe yell at the top of his lungs to andrew andrti and threaten to "kick his f---ing ass" one time if he didn't get the f--- out of his office because he was a little late for a shoot which is a bunch of talk. I would love for joe to try that s--- with me!!!!!I have read a lot of stories of him not paying talent and also him being a dick and I told dennis that and also told him if he f---ed me it would be the last person he f---ed because I will f--- him a thousand dollars for every dollar he f---s me. Dennis replied not to worry, that he came from ohio and bought half of joe's company because of him running it into the ground and he's here now running it and changing everything, like the name for instance (ama to pink kitty.) So dennis seemed cool and I gave everyone the benifit of the doubt, but I told him, because of the known reputation as stated above, that me and them should do only one dvd for now. I will direct and be talent in and we'll do it right and pay a friend of mine to shoot video and stills since I'm new at that. In addition, that I would get girls to do some content trade for the movie so we could have a low budget, but only would I do that for 50/50 on sales for the dvd because I can get girls to do content without them(Joe & Dennis). Why should they get a copy? He said, "great", 50/50 was the deal and they would put all their money up front for production. So I went and shot a B/B/G/G, g/g, 2 b/g, and 2 dp,s also both dp scenes were for content and some of the other talent in the other scenes. As I'm completing the movie the last day I get a call from dennis saying joe said he was spending too much on this movie might I add the location was free also a 4 bedroom house I rented and was living in. So joe was either going to forget everything or only give me 25% now after I had allready put all my time and some of his money in the project and that would mean he got to keep my content for free which is not fair at all so I had no choice but to say ok. Now when we talked about numbers he said the movies he just released had sold 3500 and 3000 pieces at 10 to 12 dollars each through juicy video!!!!!! So I was thinking still good money if I listened to his bulls---!!!!! After the movie was shot I was to get a copy of all cost from editing to box cover design and so on and after movie sold enough to cover all cost then I would start making money. The movie was shot somewhere around march and it didnt get released till Street Date: AUGUST 29, 2006 GULLIBLE TEENS by Pink Kitty Video / Juicy Entertainment and since then i have asked many times for numbers on sales and cost of the movie from joe and dennis and got nothing but the run around.IF YOU SEARCH GULLIBLE TEENS PORN DVD ONLINE DONNY LONG IS NOT ON THE BOXCOVER OR UNDER TALENT, OR UNDER DIRECTOR. Also the box was done very poorly, I shot alot of cute teen pix of the younger girls in the movie like Hailey Young and Emily Evermoore in cute little book bags that should have been on the box and were not. The worst pix out of a couple thousand pix got put on the box. ALSO ALOT OF OTHER THINGS I WONT MENTION YET!!! I do want to say the people at juicy video are very nice and very helpful which it is not their job to give me numbers but they did talk with me about it. So after now not getting a penny and having to play phone tag with joe and dennis which dennis dodges my calls and has had one of his wives give me the run around for over a month, I have no choice but to get nasty!!!!!!!!! there will be a follow up letter about all of this coming soon but as for now the purpose of this letter is 2 things, one to let everyone know who you are dealing with when you deal with them, and second a warning to dennis and joe that if i dont get my money by the end of the week its going to cost them alot more. remember there are alot of things i know about those guys doing things that can put them in alot of trouble!!!!!!!!!!! go check out the los angeles vice unit that deals with people shooting without permits also agencies that deal with people shooting porn around people your not supose to shoot around. dennis knows what that means and my next post might reveal that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a bunch of other things i wont mention "yet" I know everyone is reading this and probably thinking thats f---ed up if i start causing them trouble like that but guess what i dont give a F#$%. i want my f$%^&*( money now and im not going to play the phone tag game anymore. i told Joe in my last email that i hate chasing money and this was going to get nasty!!!!!!!!! I dont want commision anymore i have played tag too much i want to be bought out on rights for the movie!!! and im not talking about 50 or 100 bucks he has made plenty off the movie on the net and his website allready, he told me!!!!!! The only reason I have not pushed this to a civil law suit yet, is because an agreement was typed up by me, that is on my laptop, and Dennis has read and agreed to it, but never signed it because stupidly at that time I did not think anyone woulb be stupid enough to try to f*** me over...throwing rocks at a glass house if you know what i mean. hopefully they will read this and we can resolve this without going any further. but if not, everyone will now know why I would be more than willing to cause someone so much headache which could turn into costing them a lot of money. ps. everyone reading this please tell me your thoughts and opinions on how I should deal with such losers that have f***** over and ripped off so many people in this business, and what an acceptable amount would be. My email is xxxfilmjobs@hotmail.com
...hey guys wanted to give everyone a update of the scum bags at ama/pink kitty. since i put up the last post i have got sevaral emails from people that have got f---ed by them and i dont understand why people dont stand up and do something????? here is one email from a guy that wanted to remain unheard
hey Donny, My name is ******, I am the owner of ***, I have had some run-ins with Joe....he tried to extort thousands from me..he is all talk and nothing else.... if you have any questions...please let me know...but I have a restraining order against him and I might be able to help you out... arnold ps..he owes me tons of movies... Thank you, and here is another Hey Donny, Its ********, if you remember me i was once a director for Joe and Dennis too and they owe me over 2grand and released movies i shot without my name on them or me getting the profits we agreed on. You know all about what happened to Dick too.... So, welcome to the club man.... go get 'em. -***
can someone please tell me why people have not done anything and wont even speak out? as for my situation why them joe has been emailing me back and forth nothing but a bunch of threats and bull$%^& also wanted to tell everyone that he said he is going to tell everyone how im ratting on his company shooting without permits. and that im a rat well let me tell all of you if you dont pay your talent and if anyone can be as big of a loser as joe and dennis then you deserve it. I have no other choice but to take this guy out in every way i can because seems like noone else has stepped up to the plate to do it!!!!! the west valley vice unit has been contacted for him shooting at his house and at the offices without permits. if i dont get my money by friday HRS and child services will be contacted about some stuff i wont mention yet and alot of other stuff. hope this is a lessoned learned in the end. I just cant beleave this person is so dum all he has to do is pay his debt.
Do Jews run the porn industry these days?
Snake Eyes posts on XPT: "Do the majority of porn producers, executives and people fronting the money for porn, bow to the hebrew god?"
Well, if you're like Karl Marx and view the god of Jews as money, then yes, most porn producers worship money.
Zenman posts: "I'm fairly certain they don't bow to any G-d."
Snake Eyes responds: "ok, well do they wear silly beanies and blue and white scarfs and claim to be chosen then?"
Owen S. Mouth posts: "Most porners have strong, long lasting ties to the Lutheran and LDS churches."
As far as I can tell, secular Jews and secular Italians are the dominant groups in porn but neither group is monolithic. Neither Jews nor Italians act in concert in porn except in rare things, such as banning anything offensive to Jews from boxcovers. About ten years ago, Jon Dough had a boxcover about voyeurs that said something like: "Who could it be peering through the window? A pervert or possibly a Jew?"
The major distributors refused to carry the title until the Jew bit was deleted.
A few offices in porn, such as AVN, are closed on Yom Kippur.
I wouldn't normally post links to these types of threads but XPT is a haven for no-hating intellectual discussion.
Male Model Andre Resende Says Dillan Lauren Pulled A Shotgun On Him
Dillan denies pulling a shotgun on him and police could not find any gun in her apartment when they searched it after Andre's complaint.
Andre, who is listed on bossmodels.com and nextmodels.com, is from Russia. He emailed me a couple of weeks ago after reading my profile of Dillan.
I get him on the phone Nov. 27.
Andre: "I met her at the Rock Bar in Miami. She's sitting drunk and coked up and telling us that she's a madam and that she steals identities... That she paid $3,000 for someone in Puerto Rico who had a last name similar to hers. She said, if you take someone's identity, just make sure the person never comes to the United States. That these people are poor and they're dying and of course they will say yes... That they'll take $3,000. That they only have a few years left.
"How she got new cards and a new license and how she got caught with a different identity. She got arrested because she had two licenses on her with different names... That they just gave her a slap on the wrist.
"I'm horny. She says she's a porn star.
"She showered me with money. She took me with limos everywhere. She f---ed me. The sex was OK. She's one of those screamers for no reason. I do hang well but it was fake.
"I was at her place at 4 a.m. and she was doing laundry. I asked her to do mine too. It was supposed to be a joke. She lost her mind. 'Who do you think I am? Look at all these AVN awards.' She's pulling these plastic things. I didn't know what AVN was. [She reads off the awards.] I'm laughing. She starts throwing them at me. I'm still laughing.
"I said, 'This is too much drama. I'm going to leave. What are you on?' She said, 'What does it matter what I'm on?'
She said, 'You're going to do what? Fine. I'll be right back.' I'm getting dressed.
"She comes with a shotgun. I ran. There's a police precinct on the corner [in midtown Manhattan].
"Eight police officers go there. They didn't find a shotgun.
"She'd shown me the shotgun before while we were cleaning her place. She said it belonged to her cousin.
"She leaves me crazy messages. I left all my stuff at her place.
"She asked me for my last name. My friends said, 'You've got to get out of there. She's going to steal our identities. Who knows what she's going to do.'
"I had to break up with her because my friends told me to...
"We didn't believe that she was a porn star.
Andre emails me various nude photos he took of Dillan with his cell phone.
I believe their last day together was Nov. 2.
Andre: "She was on her period. I said, 'I understand. Maybe there are other things we can do.' She's like, oh no, I don't like anal.
"She got upset that I wouldn't have sex with her while she was on her period. She said, 'My grandmother told me that if you take a shower in cold water it will keep the blood from flowing for 30 minutes.
"I'm like, no.
"She's animated. She's fun. She's cool. In some ways, she's an unbelievable girlfriend.
"She had a ton of dudes calling her. I didn't mind. We'd go to clubs and she'd hit on girls and bring them to me. I was happy for a while. She's a sweet girl."
"I don't know why we didn't have threesomes together."
"She said, 'I want to know about you and I. If we're serious. Do you want to get serious?' When other guys would call, she'd say, 'I'm here with my man.'
"This is two days after we met."
I call Dillan Lauren.
Luke: "What's going on?"
Dillan: "I'm in this Irish bar and this lady's tripping because I plugged my phone in. I can't steal electricity for five minutes?"
Luke: "I was talking to this guy named Andre."
Dillan: "I was just talking about him. Funny."
Luke: "He said you pulled a shotgun on him."
Dillan: "I didn't. He's out of his mind. He called the cops on me and they arrested him for making false statements.
"Don't print this. It could ruin my career.
"I broke up with him. He went psycho.
"It's not true. I've got police reports to show that."
A friend of Dillan's backs up her story. He says Andre is out to get Dillan and to hurt her business opportunities.
A man claiming to be an NYPD officer calls me to say that no gun was found at Dillan's apartment.
Steven Hirsch, Derek Hay, Ron Braverman Listed Among 'L.A.’s Most Influential'
High-powered agent Hay also made the cut with his L.A. Direct dubbed the C.A.A. of porn, by the magazine, in reference to the Mike Ovitz-founded Creative Artists Agency.
“A chiseled, bald-headed, icy-gazed Brit who has appeared in more than 350 adult films, Hay the agent, is even more formidable,” the magazine said.
“Known for getting his actresses to shoots on time and ready, the chief of L.A. Direct Models is widely regarded as the toughest – disciplined to his admirers, scary to his detractors – booker in the business.”
Giving Gary Graver His Due
A fact that is little discussed in Hollywood, which makes less than 500 feature films in any given year, is that a few of its directors, writers, camerapersons and technicians work "both sides of the hill" – "the hill" being the mountain range that separates the Hollywood studios from the adult video industry in the San Fernando Valley. That industry makes over 6,000 video features in any given year. We are where the work is. Ambitious people often go where the work is.
Such was the case with Gary Graver, who in his 20 years in the adult film/video industry (1975-1995) was known as "Robert McCallum." As a director/cameraman, Graver/McCallum was responsible for more than 135 sexually explicit films and videos, several of which are considered classics of the genre – among them, 3 A.M., Amanda By Night, Coed Fever, Ecstasy Girls, Suzie Superstar and V The Hot One – and one of which, Unthinkable, won the Adult Video News (AVN) Award as Best All-Sex Video of 1985. Robert McCallum was also inducted into AVN's Hall of Fame several years ago.
Will Danni.com Close?
A source writes:
Hey Luke, The story of Danni.com never ends. I recently got word that after 10 years Danni.com will be closing it's doors for good. Despite rumors of a Penthouse buy out the company iss officially dispersing. They are selling off all of their office equipment (everything must go!) for ridiculously cheap and are already getting rid of staff. Rumor has it Leslie their Production manager is going first due to the fact 'she doesn't play well with others anyway'. Although it's a sad time ex-employees of Danni.com are rejoicing. The real question? What will happen to the Rockstar Director of Ops Layne Thr-sher? My guess? He'll never work in this town again.
I know they just sold off Johno's $3000 couch for 300 dollars (they rest of the furniture supposedly got returned to IKEA where Rick our set designer who was at Danni's for 6 years bought before they fired him too)....

Production Companies Pulling Out Of Adult Entertainment Expo
I have heard there's about a dozen or so companies that have officially pulled their booths from the AEE show floor. Mercenary, MultiMedia... I have heard about. I have heard that several others on are the fence. Anyone else heard who is going to pass on a booth.
This is also affecting the girls. I know about 12-15 that had their bookings to sign also cancel. It is very expensive for the companies to exhibit @ AVN/AEE. I have a small 10x10 booth for my firm and the costs will easily exceed $10,000 and my performers are going to sign for free. Im surprised that more companies arent passing on booths and grabbing hospitality suites. That seems like a mucher smarter idea.
Tricia Devereaux posts:
I've heard about several others actually. It remains to be seen whether this is a good idea or not. These seem to be the companies that desperately need to make new contacts and new media deals, and they simply won't have that opportunity now. For Evil Angel, we are looking forward to VOD companies and mobile phone providers and companies like that coming to meet us at our booth.
Vivid, Digital Playground, Wicked... the booths of that size and that many girls spend way above that amount. The companies that I've talked to that have pulled out seem to be doing so for financial reasons. Haven't heard any of them doing so out of rebellion against AVN or AEE. RF- there is indeed a big market for VOD (on video iPods and computer screens). There's pay-per-view settops and digital pay channels. And for mobile, although there are downloadable clips, it seems to be more about screensavers.
Jewel DeNyle posts: "Not worth the money when you get right down to it as it's mostly a fan based show when it use to be all about distribution. I know several companies that are getting suites and meeting with distributors there to skip the hassle of the floor crowd. This is think is the way to go if you just want to do business and not be bothered with having a huge expense and get right down to business and skip all the show boating."
Seymore Butts emails:
I will be appearing at the Pureplay booth this year along with at least 10 girls, though the company booth will be downsized from previous years. i'm especially looking forward to this years show as i will be a free agent, my production contract with pureplay has officially ended after 4 years, and am excited about some new opportunities i will be able to explore further while in vegas. i'm going to stay a couple of extra days and hit the internet show as well. meanwhile, over at Lighthouse Talent, we passed our 1000th booking over the holiday weekend and still haven't had any signing cancellations for vegas...yet. anyone interested in discussing some business can contact me at seymore@earthlink.net
Tara From FreePornStarPix.com
This was my first visit to Los Angeles Webmaster Access, although I am a local. My overall impression of the event is that it is less about networking and business and more about partying based on the overall behavior of the participants (tons of people who were constantly drinking alcohol starting midday and onward) and somewhat sparsely attended seminars.
No group epitomized drunk behavior more than the employees from the QuickBuck affiliate program. This group turned a chartered bus that was to take conference attendees back to the hotel from the Lucky Strike Bowling lounge into their own personal party bus. There were twelve of them. One employee jumped in the front seat of the bus next to the drive and turned up the volume on the radio so high that the walls of the vehicle started to vibrate. Two female employees stood at the front of the bus dancing and simulating a sex act. Another QuickBuck employee named Brett, became very belligerant with an attendee who requested that the music be turned down.
Later, when the bus arrived back at the convention venue, QuickBuck employee Brett, got off the bus and again belligerantly attacked the person who complained about his company's behavior on the bus. This led to the victim calling the police. The situation worsened after the police were called when several QuickBuck employees tried to attack the victim causing the Sheraton Universal staff to step in and offer protection.
Another noteworthy element of Webmaster Accesss Los Angeles is that the final social event of the conference, a party at the Playboy mansion on Friday night, is 'invitation' only; not all conference attendees are invited, so the fun ends for some on the second night of the event, because there are no other convention parties scheduled that particular night. Overall, that particular aspect comes off as a way for people to play politics by inviting some and excluding others; this feature is absent from other webmaster conventions.
Religion & Porn
Gia Jordan posts: "Can't porners have religion in their life DURING their career in the industry? Certainly, they can co-exist instead of waiting until the phone stops ringing to blame squaundering years of earnings on drugs (hot, smart chicks have drugs bought for them), a mooch boyfriend sporting yet another Hot Topic tribal flames shirt who says 'we' when discussing her holes being penetrated on film, and a leased apartment the size of the Taj Mahal?"
Win A Date With Kendra Jade
Veitch says she vowed to bring hope of a life beyond the sex industry to the people she knew so well, people like Kendra [Jade] Andrews. "For a long time I thought there's no room for somebody like me in heaven," Andrews says with a laugh. "I've had a pretty creepy life. But she's helping me understand that there is."

A Disturbing Documentary - 2001's 'Hardcore' On Britain's Channel 4
Matt Parker blogs about Max Hardcore Vs. Channel 4.
Matt Parker emails me: "Hi Luke: This is a polite request for you to remove my 'blog' which you've included on your front page today. I'd prefer it if you ask before copying and pasting my material, and I'd like this to be taken off your site please."
One of our largest TV-stations sent a documentary about the industry last week. It was a british production. It focused on how the talent gets into the business, how they can be treated and also a critical view on what is referred to as "sleazy agents". One of those sleazy agents actually is / was british Dick Nasty. Saw it on a british documentary on one of our national TV-stations. He, Dick, posted add's in british papers, and this girl, Felicity, was tempted and transported over to the valley (with a camera crew in heals). This was not very flattering for the world of porn.
One of her first scenes, Dick sets her up with Max Hardcore. She is piss-scared, but chauffeur and host Nasty tries to calm her down, saying that "stories about him to be greatly exaggerated", "he has a small dick" and "drinking problem" (This would NOT have calmed me down). Anyway, when they arrive, Max is very abusive and direct. In stead of calming her down and introducing himself, he rams his d... up her ass, telling her (when he hears that she has worked with Steve Perry in Britain) that she is a dirty slut. This is before they have even started filming. She adresses to him that she is nervous, and she is trembling. This does not calm down Max. Next, Felicity tells the crew that she is scared s---less, and don't wanna do it. Mr Nasty is just catatonic, watching the whole scenario as if he could'nt care less. The crew tries to make her pull out of it, but Max persuades her to keep on doing it (I must remind you, that this is Max, and not a shrink). The scene is starting and she is very uncomfortable, which make Max very turned on, and brutal in my eyes. She finally, mid-scene, gets what look like a mental breakdown (it's very intimidating for the viewer), and runs out on the bathroom crying. Mr Nasty still looks like he is in a boring coma.
Now, the most disturbing part of this documentary unfolds. Max gets in to the bathroom, and tries to be "gentle", and wan't her to fulfill the scene. Bad timing, she just wanna go home to Britain to her family. She seems to be in shock. When some of these facts hits Max, the "gentle" side is gone. He talks about being a winner ("Are you a winner? Don't dissapoint me!!! Are you a looser? If you don't finish this scene you are a looser! I thought you were a winner, everybody told me"). When his manipulation goes wrong, the tone gets rude, and he tells that she is one of the few ever to back out. She is a coward. She costs him a lot of money for nothing (getting a camera man and cancelling his vacation). He is very confronting and mean in my eyes to a person in her most vulnerable. The camera team intervenes and takes her out of this situation, which pisses Max off. I am so glad that they were there, don't know how far he and his cameraman Paul Cox would have gone with her if they were not there. Very disturbing.
She ends up in tears in the car, and MR Nasty is quiet as an oyster on the way back. She can't wait to go home to britain. I can't help thinkin that it was the director and not the female talent who wrecked this scene. The womens group in our country really got smell of bait, and they claimed for sure that this program presented the "truth" about the industry. Hope it's not! This is not an attack on Max, this documentary shook me up ,and wanted to share some of the things presented in this drama. The production might be some years old, but I don't think it's too old.
Dreamer responds:
I saw this a few years ago and I thought it fairly manipulative in the way it used all the tricks of the mainstream anti-porn "documentary on porn" genre - a concerned hypocritical-liberal voice-over, the slow-motion, video-degraded, close-ups of girl having sex in slow-motion making her screams of pleasure sound like howls of pain, monstrous pornographers, pimp agents etc. The usual having-its-cake-and-eating-it-and-saying-it-made-you-sick approach to representing porn. I wasn't impressed by its techniques. But if it stops girls from doing their first scenes with Max or getting pimped by Senior Nasty then I guess it serves its purpose. You didn't mention how Senior Nasty deliberately exposed her to Max so that subsequent bookings would be a relief and sure enough we then see her at a gang bang happily doing her thing and saying how glad she is that she's not back at that house with Max.
Kendra Jade, Heather Veitch On 20/20
Chris Connelly reports 11/24/06:
Veitch says she vowed to bring hope of a life beyond the sex industry to the people she knew so well, people like Kendra [Jade] Andrews. "For a long time I thought there's no room for somebody like me in heaven," Andrews says with a laugh. "I've had a pretty creepy life. But she's helping me understand that there is."
As a child, Andrews says, she was physically and sexually abused. By the age of 18, she was in California doing hard-core porn. "After a shooting, I would go home and I would cry," she says. "I was like, 'Oh, this was too much.'"
She stopped doing porn but kept dancing and stripping in clubs. Then she met Veitch, whose understanding attitude got her to pay attention. "I've been scared off by [guffaw] some really preachy Christians." she says. After hours of conversation, she says, "Heather knew looking at me: She was like, 'You're ready, I know you're ready.'"
Veitch promises women like Andrews that if they come to church, they'll be welcomed, not judged. So is Kendra ready to stop dancing?
"I'm ready, but I'm terrified," she says with a laugh. "For me, that's what I've known since I'm 18. It's what pays the bills. That's what provides for me. Honestly, this is maybe the scariest thing I've ever done in my life. But I'm committed to it. And I feel like it's where I'm meant to be."
Raven@bikinibrawl.com posts on myspace (the page has since been taken down):
My name is raven. I am Kats friend and the person who put this page together. Yes Kat does read and respond to every letter and comment here. Here is the issue. Kat is having major personal issues right now. Straight to the point she is VERY addicted to alcohol and cocaine. It is so much to the point she was almost raped 2 nights ago. As of now I am taking this page down. Kat really needs help. I can't do it by myself.. Her best friend Avy cant do it by herself..And other people Kat knows can't do it alone either...I am asking ANYONE AND EVERYONE in the porn biz from talent to directors to help out. Her birthday is 1 week away and the road Kat has been on in the past few months this may be her last birthday. Right now Kat is pissing off a lot of the people who are helping her in her personal life but we're trying to stay in contact with her. She tends to go missing for days and doesn't return calls. And I will tell you there is no reason to leave a voice message as she doesn't know how to check them...
The FreePornStarPix.com Asshole of the Year is Dominic Accerra aka Dr X
Dominic Accerra, congratulations of winning the FreePornStarPix.com Asshole of the Year Award! You've earned it with your strong arm harrassment tactics against me with the assistance of drug runner/bounty hunter/asshole photographer Brian Uptgraft who spent months physically and verbally harassing me at different events, fat ass James who barred me from the FOXE Awards (although later you said,'Tara, you were on the list.' - you're still an asshole for that cheap stunt), the demented LukeIsBack.com (messenger boy for threats from Brian Uptgraft to me), bitchy Janie L, and your employee who stepped on me at the West Coast Productions party (next time any EMM Agency employee ever touches me, I'm calling the authorities and they can sort it out).
By the way, Dominic, the guy I was standing with at Sheraton Floating World party is the same person who was defrauded by your lawyer friend's twin clients! It was a check he gave to them that they forged.
Dominic Accerra, you're pathetic. Your contemporaries like Suze Randall and Earl Miller are rich and retired and you're running around porn valley trying to get any newcomers banned, because magazines won't pay you very much for your s---ty photos. You shouldn't spend so much energy harassing me, because I shoot exclusively for my site; put your energy towards building up your pahetically sagging career. And by the way, you cannot personally sue me, this site and all my business efforts are protected by my LLC, so f--- YOU! I'd love to see you in court and look forward to seeing you in person soon, because I have an earful for you, f---er!
Dominic emails me:
Luke:
Hello, hey can you please post this for me. A friend called me early and told me to check out a post about me. I was hoping to respond directly, but due to my limited internet skills, my apologies to Tara and her website, I simply couldn't figure out to how do so.
Speaking of her web site, I think she does an excellent job of posting press releases and so forth, keep up the good work.
Anyway, let's put this stuff to bed please, ok:? Thank you With regards to the FOXE Awards, without going into details, we discussed the matter face to face Shortly after, and I thought the matter was resolved.
In your latest post, you neglected to mention the original post were you spoke of Evan and his wife Tera Patrick some how being involved with your experience at the FOXE awards. Seems the post was changed after our discussion, would you please be so kind as to repost the ORIGINAL report? Thank you very much in advance.
With regards to someone stepping on you, I'm sorry to hear that, did it hurt? Are you ok? I hope so. Having said that, why didn't you let me know that night, or any number of subsequent times we saw one another afterwards? Why wait 6 months later and bring it up? I don't condone anyone attempting to injure anyone in any situation at any time. If something occurred, I could suggest this possible reason for it happening. If memory serves me correctly, we had a very limited {small} area for media at that particular event, and you had a lot of media smashed together, a lot of pushing and shoving going on at that event, is it possible some people got their feet tangled and stepped on? Sadly yes, intentional? I seriously doubt it, had you said something to whom ever had accidentally stepped on you, I'm sure the individual would have apologized. For future reference, PLEASE contact me immediately if anyone touches you at all, I'll be happy to help you.
With regards to what happened at the Sheraton, SORRY Tara, I'm totally lost on this one, my lawyer wasn't present, it was a great panel though. Did you post some video clips from it yet? I thought I saw you shooting with a video camera. Can't wait to see them.
With regards to my contemporaries like Suze Randall and Earl Miller, first off, Thank you for the Huge compliment, I would NEVER put myself in the same category as both very talented individuals, both artist's have spent their entire lives devoted to a craft, which has been very good to them. I've never considered myself to be a studio photographer, named claimed I was, never had the ambition to do so.
I've always admired the Adult Entertainment Industry, been given an AMAZING opportunity to do some editorial work, {a completely different style of photography} and have been blessed with an AMAZING life as a result, {which I am thankful for everyday}.
With regards to having new photographers banned, I'll only say this, recently our one of our representatives was approached by a new shooter with regards to contracting a publication to submit their work to. We have worked quite successfully with the publication in question for over 15 years, and continue to do so now, why should I help anyone out? Simple, I was that new person once, I was in their shoes, I know how important it is to get an opportunity. Suffice to say, we're what ever information the individual wants, I'll forward. It's important for me to give something back when ever I can, and I will continue to do so.
With regards to harassing you, would you please be so kind as give me a specific event, date, location etc. where this occurred ? Thank you With regards to pathetically sagging career, not sure how to respond to this, so I'll only respect your opinion and leave it at that.
Finally, rest assured I won't be suing you any time soon, why? I appreciate any thoughts anyone has to say, I might only suggest that in the future, if you have something to say, save yourself some energy, when you see me in person, say whatever you want, I'll respect your thoughts even more.
Thank you for the Post, do I get a trophy? Dinner perhaps? If I don't see you before the holidays, have a safe and happy one, and we'll see you in Las Vegas in January.
I've known Dominic for a decade. He's always been a mentch. I've seen him go out of his way to help people. I've not known anyone with a bad word to say about Dominic (except Jenna Jameson?).

Avy Lee Roth Quits Porn
I wont be performing on camera anymore for personal reasons, meanwhile I'll be doing make up, main stream, modeling, tv etc ... it was great for the past 3 years ... almost 4 alredy, I'll still be attending parties, promoting radio etc but that's all about, sending all my love to fans and the rest of you guys muahcsss!!!!
No Sympathy For Donovan Phillips
I feel for performers like Crissy. When I last saw her in a professional environment (back when she was in softcore) she had the glazed tunnel vision of someone who is as unsure of what they’re doing as they are determined to do it. Worse for her, she’s sold her image and her name which now means her old site, CrissyMoran.com, is running independently and against her wishes.
Pornographers like Donny don’t deserve any sympathy. Only people blind to other people’s feelings (that’d be sociopaths) knowingly collaborate in other people’s self-destructive decisions. Being ready to shoot confused, angry people who aren’t aware of the consequences of their actions is like giving tattoos to drunk people.
Kami Andrews complains that our interview "is being used by a christian company to get people to stop watching porn. Just for the record, as the suposed victem, I don't care if you watch porn. Yes it f---s people up, but honestly most gals are in it cause they are too f---ed up to hold a real job any way. Enjoy your porn. There is nothing wrong with liking porn. also Heather pink bid on and won my ebay auctions and wont pay me.. grrr..."
Heather Pink emails: "I have had every intention to pay Kami Andrews.... Between being sidetracked by having to go to NYC every other week (Andrew reopened the case) and my bank loosing a substantial sized check, of which they wont credit the amount until the 26Th, I am pulling my hair out right now .. Anyone who knows me knows I don't deliberately not pay people."
