Star E. Knight Interview
2003-06-16 14:46:39
Luke: So what you doing these days?
Star: I am pursuing my love of writing and enjoying a laid back
life with my new boyfriend and dog, Anabel.
Luke: What do you love and hate about the porn industry?
Star: I loved it 'cause you got paid to do what comes naturally
- sex. I hated most every other aspect about it, haha. On the
serious side, I found that many folks in the porn industry were
out to get you while they looked in your eyes, lied, and deceived
you. There are a lot of people with ulterior motives, looking
to earn a dollar off of your body. That's all cool and dandcy
so long as you are getting in return what you deserve. But if
you're not, you are either being naive while not recognizing
what they're doing, or you know about it and are being stupid
for not demanding what you deserve. It's a tricky industry.
Luke: How did you come to enter the industry?
Star: An ex-boyfriend of mine wanted to get into the biz, and
he knew the only way he could swing that was by convincing a
chick to come with him and shape his way. I was the lucky guinea
pig! But that's ok, I got scooped up into a contract, while
he sat at home looking for work.
Luke: What were your best and worst experiences?
Star: My best experiences ('cause I love to include the positive
stuff first) were getting to travel to signings and see many
places I had never seen before and hearing all the gossip when
family and friends back home found out what I was doing for
a living! My worst experiences (and there were many) were every
time the contract company I was part of caused some kind of
scene at a convention or simply out at a company meeting, or
even at a club. You could not go out and expect an evening with
Jill Kelly Productions to go smoothly. Every event it seems
was ruined with some girl's chaos, and they all thrived off
of that and had to compete with her for attention, causing yet
a bigger scene. I was there to be professional and have fun,
not to get in the middle of a big argument wiht my own contract
sisters.
Luke: What do you do in your spare time?
Star: I love to read and write. I am currently working on a
few books. I also cross stitch, if you can believe that. Aside
from my bookworm tendencies, I also love riding motorcycles,
camping, hiking, and playing with my dog.
Luke: How much time do you spend on line every day?
Star: Too much. I'm an internet junkie. I'm working on two books,
so I'm right at the computer most of the day. Maybe I should
have included online chatting in that last question though,
'cause I'm a chat junkie too.
Luke: Have you ever communicated with a space alien?
Star: Maybe in my sleep. But then again most of the people around
me are like space aliens, so my answer might yes?
Luke: What kind of clique were you in in high school?
Star: Hahahaha! I wasn't in a clique. I hated cliques. I was
a cheerleader. I played sports. I did well in the band and drama
club but I never locked myself in any category though I loved
music and drama. But face it, I always had a big mouth that
got me into trouble. I was a geek. I still am. I'm proud of
it. I have met and been friends with the coolest people my whole
life, so why should I limit myself to an inner circle? I need
diversity when it comes to people, for I love them in all sizes,
shapes and breeds.

Subject: Why I Left JKP
Gonna start this off by verifying what really happened.
Was I pregnant with Lee Stone's baby like everyone talked?
NO. WAS NEVER PREGNANT TO BEGIN WITH.
Did I "flake" on JKP?
YES. MY CONTRACT WAS OFFICIALLY EXPIRED ON DEC. 1ST OF 2002
AND JKP NEVER ISSUED ME ANOTHER AGREEMENT TO EXTEND IT. DID
THEY EVEN WANT TO? THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUSLY YES SINCE THEY THEN
WENT TO AVN, THE INTERNET, ALL OF THE GOSSIP SITES AND MEDIA
OUTLETS TO SPREAD THE WORD THAT I WAS SUPPOSEDLY STILL UNDER
CONTRACT AND PROHIBITED FROM WORKING FOR ANYONE ELSE. THEY ALSO
SENT ME A LETTER OF WARNING IN ATTEMPT TO SCARE ME INTO RETURNING
TO WORK FOR THEM AND THREATENING ME AGAINST WORKING FOR ANY
OTHER COMPANY. THEY TRIED TO ACCUSE ME OF BREACHING A CONTRACT
THAT NO LONGER EXISTED. I NEVER EVEN WORKED FOR ANYONE ELSE
SINCE ALL THIS WENT DOWN...I SIMPLY CHOSE TO LEAVE THE INDUSTRY
ALTOGETHER.
Was my sudden weight gain an issue?
IT APPEARED AS IF JILL WAS INDEED GETTING WORRIED ABOUT THAT...I
WAS A TWIG WHEN I FIRST CAME ABOARD JKP...EATING ONE MEAL A
DAY AND LIVING ON ALOT OF BOOZE. THEN THE DEPRESSION SET IN
AND I FOUND MYSELF EATING OUT OF BOREDOM AND DRINKING TO BECOME
SOMEONE DIFFERENT THAN WHO I WAS. JILL LATER TRIED TO ASSESS
THE DRINKING PROBLEM, AND I COULD ONLY SIT AND LAUGH. I MEAN...WHO
THE HELL DID SHE THINK I ADOPTED THE HABIT FROM TO BEGIN WITH?
MORE AND MORE AS I GOT TO KNOW JILL, IT SEEMED I'D NEVER SEEN
HER SOBER. I WAS VERY ANGRY...IT WAS LIKE THE POT CALLING THE
KETTLE BLACK AND I THOUGHT SOMEONE LIKE JILL
WOULD UNDERSTAND.
Why did I flake on KSEX Radio?
I'LL ADMIT...WHEN THINGS TURNED SOUR WITH JKP, I UP AND TOOK
OFF. REFUSED CALLS, WOULDN'T RETURN A DAMNED ONE OF THEM...AND
I STARTED TAKING MY ANGER OUT ON THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY, KSEX INCLUDED.
KSEX DID NOT DESERVE THAT AND I LATER ISSUED A LETTER OF APOLOGY
TO KSEX WHO GLADLY ACCEPTED IT AND OFFERED ME THE CHANCE TO
BE PART OF THEIR PROGRAM ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE. I WAS SO ANGRY
AT THE WHOLE INDUSTRY, DISAPPOINTED IN JKP WHO CLAIMED TO BE
MY FAMILY ALL THIS TIME WHEN INDEED I NEVER FELT LIKE PART OF
THE FAMILY.
What was life like as part of the JKP family?
SOMETIMES WE WENT OUT AND HAD FUN...BUT I WAS VERY SELDOM ASKED
TO COME OUT AND PARTY WITH MY OWN GIRLS WHEN IT DIDN'T INVOLVE
PRESS OR THE WHOLE FAMILY TO APPEAR TOGETHER FOR SOME MAJOR
EVENT. I FELT VERY LEFT OUT. I ADMIRED JILL AND LOOKED UP TO
HER FROM THE BEGINNING. SHE SHOWERED ME WITH ALOT OF PROMISES.
SHE TOLD ME TO WATCH HER AND "LEARN". I DID. BUT THEN OTHER
GIRLS STARTED TO GET FAVORED OVER OTHERS AND I SUDDENLY FOUND
MYSELF LEFT IN THE DARK. I LOOKED FORWARD TO BEING TAKEN UNDER
HER WINGS, AND GOT SHOVED TO THE SIDE...MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE
I WASN'T WILD ENOUGH OR RICH ENOUGH, I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE IT
WAS BECAUSE I HAD DONE A SCENE WITH HER EX HUSBAND BEFORE I
EVEN CAME TO KNOW HER. I'LL NEVER KNOW, BUT MY HEART WAS BROKEN
BECAUSE I TRUSTED HER SO MUCH.
Did I get along with the other JKP girls?
YES!! ASHTON, SHYLA, TYLER, AND JENNA HAZE WERE ALL REALLY SUPER
COOL GIRLS. EVEN DEVEN DAVIS WAS THE SPUNKIEST, MOST GIVING
CHICK...JILL AND I BECAME VERY DISTANT IN THE END, AND HAVEN
NEVER EVER LIKED ME. SEE I WAS NOT AFRAID TO VOICE MY OPINION
AND LET JILL KNOW WHAT MY FEELINGS WERE...HAVEN GOT ANGRY WITH
ME WHEN I DID THIS ONE NIGHT AND THREATENED TO BEAT ME UP RIGHT
THERE ON THE SPOT IN A FANCY RESTAURANT IN BEVERLY HILLS. NOT
EXACTLY THE KIND OF MATURITY OR DISPLAY THAT SHOULD GO ON IN
SUCH A PLACE. SHE LITERALLY PUSHED HER CHAIR BACK AND STOOD
UP BEARING BOTH FISTS. I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO HER, WAS ALWAYS
NICE TO HER, DID I DESERVE THIS? f-ck NO...SO NEEDLESS TO SAY...THINGS
WERE NEVER GREAT BETWEEN THE TWO OF US, AND IT WASN'T FAIR...I
WAS ACTIVELY MAKING MOVIES FOR JKP, HAVEN WAS ON SABATICLE?
AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED SHE HAD NO PLACE AT OUR COMPANY MEETINGS
WHEN SHE WASN'T ACTIVELY WORKING FOR THE COMPANY. BUT THIS IS
HOW UNFAIR THINGS STARTED TO GET. YES, BY THE END...I WAS FRUSTRATED
AND WANTED OUT. I BID MY TIME, WAITED TIL MY CONTRACT EXPIRED,
EVEN WORKED PAST THE EXPIRATION DATE TIL I FINALLY SAID "ENOUGH
IS ENOUGH"...AND WAS GONE.
When JKP Was In Chaos
2003-06-20 15:53:41
Former Jill Kelly Productions girl
Star E Knight writes: I never heard anything from any
of the girls involved or previously involved with JKP
since I left the biz except for our girl Jenna [Haze].
Jenna still talks to me, she was my closest friend in
the JKP family. Shyla Stylez treated me super nice during
her involvement with JKP, and alot of the girls were very
bitter over her marriage to Bob [Friedlander, JKP owner]
and frankly treated her really bad the minute Jill turned
her back. I was neutral.
Shyla was genuinely cool to me, and she's a young chick
who probably had a mess of her own problems thus bringing
her into this biz...that's usually how it happens! Porn
Stars for the most part are a different breed. Anyhow,
Shyla disappeared not long after I did...but we had absolutely
no connection involved with our disappearances. We both
had our separate problems with the company, and I'm quite
insulted that the industry mentioned our disappearances
together in all of the press releases as if we had some
part in a duo conspiracy against JKP. I have not heard
from Shyla. I know very little besides what I read as
to her disappearance and disinvolvement of JKP.
All I know is I really don't blame the girl for leaving,
the girls there made it miserable on her because they
were jealous of the treatment she received as Bob's wife.
I do believe, if Bob is married or in a relationship with
one of the girls, she should be let out of a contract.
It's not fair to the other girls when she gets to fly
first class to events and signings, or bought all the
clothing and jewelry for shoots her little heart desires.
Yes, I respected JKP's decision to keep her aboard after
the marriage, but I have my opinion too. And I voice this
opinion only with the clear-minded business sense, "don't
mix business with pleasure."
Jill's girls were at each other's throats over it, and
you see what it did to Bob when Shyla couldn't handle
it anymore, and left.
One thing that I'd like to point out is that, indeed,
Shyla's
contract was a brand new one and I haven't seen the details
of that contract although JKP claims we all had the same
contract (which I know to be bullsh-t), so that means,
she most likely ran out on her contract. JKP tried to
make me look so bad in the media right along with Shyla
when I ran out on nothing. My contract expired on Dec.
1, 2002. I left two weeks later when I was still showing
up to work for the company and beginning to be pressured
into working with actors who weren't on my list to work
with, and pressured into more than my agreed number of
scenes per day. That's when I had enough. I told the production
manager one day if he didn't stick to my list of
actors (which was a rather large list easy to fullfill)
and didn't change my schedule around to something easier
for my body to handle, that I wasn't going to show up.
I gave him his warning. I received no call over that weekend
to verify that things had been altered, so I didn't show
up. I did what I said I was going to do. I also got very
sick that morning because I was so tired of my mistreatment
and lack of respect in this company. My new boyfriend
ended up holding my hair out of the toilet. I was very
sick of JKP and all their bullsh-t...it was tearing me
apart. And then I received a phone call from the production
manager, screaming and bitching me out. That was the last
straw. That's when I never showed up on any of their sets
again!
Jim writes: I have seen Jill [Kelly] on a number of talk
shows and seen interviews in print and her thing was always
that she was looking at the business from the prospective
of "talent" since that's where she had come from. I've
heard her say that her contract girls owned a piece of
all their work rather than just getting paid per scene
as most other companies do. She said her girls have health
benefits and make much more than most talent in the industry.
The concept is great. Bob Friedland is an excellent businessman
with deep pockets and Jill is a connected member of the
adult community. The system breaks down in any business
when the boss starts f-cking the help. It makes one wonder
if Bob didn't have his mind on his dick from the beginning.
Star, any thoughts? Did JKP take as good care of you girls
financially as Jill would have us believe?
Star E Knight writes: I have heard of Jill's appearance
on Ricki Lake where she had spoken of JKP contract girls
having benefits. While I was under contract for them,
I certainly heard mention of benefits to play a future
role for JKP contract girls, but the talks went on for
nearly 6 months with no such action being made. The girls
might indeed have
benefits since I left...I've been gone for 6 months now...but
while I was contracted under JKP, it was just talk. Some
people have already commented on here that they believe
Jill to have bitten off more than she can chew, and I
certainly believe that to be true since she was very dedicated
to her girls in the beginning. In the end, it seemed as
if she stopped showing up on sets, hadn't directed but
one of my movies, and became more and more unavailable
for her girls.
When I did see her, she bragged about using the company
credit card on shopping sprees for her own wardrobe, and
buying nice expensive cars like the fully loaded escalade
she now sports around. All of this spending while us girls
were calling Bob regularly to issue us pay advances cause
we couldn't make our rent.
Some girls who were getting hired to do scenes for JKP
that were not contracted with JKP it turned out, were
making more money by getting paid "per scene" than us
contract girls were making. Other contract girls in the
biz weren't getting worked as much as us JKP girls, and
in fact it was getting quite boring fronting the box of
a movie that was to be our features, when all the same
JKP contract sisters were appearing/casted in every one.
It was like the same old movie over and over and over
with a different JKP girl on each new boxcover, and
maybe a different story line. But it was the same JKP
girls in every movie. I had heard complaint about that
from many fans and industry people as well. I haven't
viewed a JKP flick lately, but I sure hope they've learned,
and fixed the problem so that their girls can have something
truly unique and personal to market. Oh, and those residuals
that us JKP girls are supposed to get? HA, HA, HA. Am
I now the 3rd ex-contract girl who hasn't yet scene a
residual check? It comes down to this...no girl really
has any part of the company under her belt to flaunt around...except
Jill, and that's cool...it's
her name, her company...but all I'm saying is...don't
make false promises...and don't brag about them when they're
not being met.
Well what I really think are is that at JKP it's much
different
than walking into an office like at Vivid or Digital Playground.
It's not an office, JKP runs out of Bob's home in the
Hollywood Hills, and his place and money can be very welcoming
to alot of money grubbing porn chicks. And those are usually
the chicks that act overly kind to an old man. It's awful,
cause I'm not sure if Bob sees that that's why these girls
are all over him. He really is a sweet man, and he tends
to fall crushes on all of his new recruits at one time
or another. But I really think some of these girls chase
after him in hopes of being treated like a goddess, which
Bob surely does! So, there's no harassment at JKP, there
might be in other companies, but at JKP, it's THOSE girls
who WANT to be with Bob...most likely for his money.
......................................
Pandora Perfecting writes: I chatted with Halston at an
appearance during that stretch when JKP was in chaos.
You [Star E Knight] were a mystery, Shyla's [Styles?]
marriage went all nutty apparently, Jenna [Haze] had just
decided to step back and re-evaluate things (leading up
to her lez-only transformation), and I think there were
even further problems that I just can't remember now.
Anyway, Holly was very diplomatic and neutral. (and she
had biggened her chest even larger than I was used to
seeing it). She did admirable damage control for JKP as
we both remarked on how unusual it was to have such a
complete implosion all at once. Now
I'll add a snockered Jill to the picture. Maybe she has
moments when she wants to be a mentor but she's finding
the role difficult to carry out full time. I of course
don't know and can only guess. It just seems like such
a shame since she appeared to be building the best company
in the biz for a while there. Too bad it can't also be
the best one to work for.
Do you ever hear anything from Shyla?
Cynara Fox writes: Man, I was just sitting here thinking,
is it wrong to be turned on by looking at yourself? I
mean really turned on! I keep looking at the pictures
of me in the 'mixed group' album, the ones where I'm only
wearing that crystal bra. My god, I especially can't stop
lloking at the one's titled 'cut curves' and 'dive in'.
I just can't stop staring at my pussy! Is that wrong?
If any of you truly know me, then you know I am far from
stuck up, and usually have self-esteem issues, but when
I look at certain pictures of myself I feel like it's
not even me. I feel like I am looking at one really hot
peice of ass, weird huh?
I WILL NOT be appearing at Erotica LA this Weekend. The
Factors that contributed to this desicion were My Birthday
being on Sunday, Short notice and inability to contact/confirm
the people I was supposed to go with.
Sondra Hall Update
2003-06-23 17:52:58
Star E. Knight writes: I
haven't been in contact with Sondra either,
but she bailed out before I did...kind of just
disappeared from the movie-making scene with
JKP, but still hung out with us. She's a great
and very sweet girl, about to be a momma! Sondra
did in fact leave because her and her husband
[Steve Case of the Lee Network] are expecting.
Sometimes I think maybe that's how the rumor
got attributed to me...because word prob. got
out that a JKP girl was pregnant, and when I
quit, everyone assumed it was me. But it was
in fact Sondra, and I hope she's still doing
really well. Her husband was a really nice guy
too, he was one of our production managers at
one time and even wrote a really cool script.
Sondra was the coolest to work with! Especially
since some of the other girls frowned upon working
with me because lesbo scenes weren't my thing...I
really don't like girls sexually unless they
hold a spot close to my heart, and that's a
hard spot to get at as many girls are in it
for themselves and can turn against you really
fast...so I didn't let them in very easily.
Sondra was always super sexy and always a comfortable
joy to work with. Sondra's husband was behind
the scenes in alot our movies, and I guess one
could assume they have a very open relationship.
It didn't seem to bother him nor her at all.
Me...I'm different. Men usually do get jealous,
and that's why I could not continue in this
realm of work when I met my boyfriend who happens
to be totally unfamiliar with porn and not a
supporter at all of it. That's okay, though...I'm
very happy and I guess I was looking for a really
good reason to leave the biz...and I found him!
When you're in a relationship with other porno
peeps, there are alot of understandings. I've
known really successful married couples (porn
stars) who found it with no problem to work
with other people. But they didn't talk about
it or watch when they went home. It was just
a paycheck to them...and alot of those couples
who happened to consist of a female contract
girl in companies like Vivid, VCA, and Sin City...did
rather well in the money dept. so you know they
lived comfortably together with their combined
incomes. So in some cases, it's not hard to
maintain a relationship and be an actor/actress
in the adult biz, but there are your jealous
exceptions...Lee Stone, for instance...but let's
not get into that now!
As far as dating someone not related in to the
biz...it's nearly impossible unless they are
a swinger and get off on seeing their girlfriend/wife
getting f-cked on film...and believe me...those
such relationships exist more often than not!
I hope I've answered your question!!! As you
can see...I tend to get quite long-winded.
I don't feature dance, I started up right before
I left the biz, but I've literally given that
whole life up. I may do solo magazine spreads/photo
shoots or perhaps put up my own website in the
future...but that looks like the only way I'll
return to the XXX scene. I do visit the NJ/PA/NY
tri-state area occasionally since that is where
I'm from...but I only go back to see family
primarily. I was however in NJ a month ago to
see my boyfriend play for a friend's band at
the KISS convention. But that's highly unlikely
that I'll return to the east coast for any more
conventions in the near future.
Sex Behind The Scenes At JKP Productions? 2003-06-25
16:09:21 Star E Knight writes: I assume you're
expecting a long winded answer that validates
your every fantasy of behind the scenes sex
and sh-t...and I really hate to burst your dreams,
but it doesn't happen my dear. Those sex scenes
that you enjoy 10-15 minutes of in the movies
take 2 sometimes 3 hours to film. (Obviously
there is alot of wasted footage that never makes
the final cut) It is alot like main stream movie
making with a full on camera crew, boom operator,
production manager, director, a.d., sound guy,
paper towel and lube fetcher, etc. It's not
always a fun environment, and yes more often
than not, us girls did in fact ACT (meaning
we faked it). Beyond the camera lens, all people
on or near the set were expected to shut up!
No noise could be made because it would pick
up through the boom and be heard on the audio
recording. Roudy porn stars just coming to set
and leaving sometimes cause alot of noise, thus
leaving no choice but to have to shoot the scene
over or record backup audio to be dubbed over.
So...sex behind the scenes? Fat chance. Though
I'm not going to say it didn't happen. I was
in infatuation with a porn dude long ago, and
ended up having a quick romp in a set's shower
right after we had completed a very long scene
together. So that goes to show you, if the chemistry
is right between two actors, don't let them
loose, cause they wont slow down!!

Star E. Knight Interview
2003-07-13 15:08:57
How long time
was you active in the business?
~ 1 1/2 years
How did you get involved?
~ Ex-boyfriend who wanted to be
an actor in the biz...(in order
to make it as a male in the biz,
you need to bring along a cute
girl to get your foot in the door.
He did just that.)
Did you work as a model or dancer
before?
~ Before moving to LA, I did promotional
modeling for Coors Lite, and several
local tv commercials in my hometown.
When I moved to LA, before my
porn days, I did extra work on
mainstream TV shows and movie
films.
Can you mention some magazines
so I might be able to buy them?
~ Sorry, no magazines other than
the porn mags I modeled for (i.e.
Club International July and Sept.
2002 issues/ High Society Holiday
2002 edition/ Taboo (Can't even
remember what issue)
Saw that you liked some rock music
like Heart, Whitesnake and stuff
like that. Do you like other newer
acts?
~ Of course I do...I love upcoming
acts too, like my boyfriend
Rodney's solo project...."Rodney".
I love Linkin Park, by the
way...wink, wink.
Can you mention three hobbies
of yours?
~ Reading, Writing, Singing, Cross
stitching...can go on and on.....
Which is your favorite non-porn
movie of all time?
~ The Last Of The Mohicans
Which is the best movie you starred
in?
~ My Perfect 10's
Which girl did you like working
with the most?
~ jenna Haze, Ashton Moore
Do you have any contact with girls
from Jill Kelly Productions?
~ Jenna Haze and I chat every
now and then, but she messaged
me
recently to call her and hasn't
returned my calls, so I guess
you can say not really.
Do you like to travel? If you
do, have you ever visited Europe?
If
not, do it!
~ No, I have not been to Europe
yet, but I would love to go to
Germany since I am German, and
I only dream of visiting Italy
(venice)
and Amsterdam
Did you enjoy all types of sex
you performed in your movies?
~ I suppose...If I did not enjoy
them, I wouldn't have continued
to do them...that's why I never
did anal. But towards the end,
I stopped doing G/G, because I
am not a natural lesbian and fans
were catching on...so I stopped.

to any boyfriend...and
there are no complaints
there! We do not allow
anyone to join in our
personal fun...I did a
year and a half of sharing
in that dept. Gimme a
break. Let me enjoy some
intimacy now with someone
who really loves me.
I think my experience
with JKP sadly enough
WAS what ruined my outlook
on the industry. I was
forewarned by plenty of
good, knowledgable people
outside of JKP that it
was a bad decision. But
I had heard so many far
fetched rumors about JKP,
and as a Tabloid HATER
...I refused to believe
the hype. I signed the
contract, on the contrary.
I do believe it could
have been different had
I signed with someone
else. Vivid was talking
to me...VCA finally called
me a week after I signed
with JKP...I could have
waited long enough for
other offers...but instead...I
jumped the gun.
Questions
For Star E.
Knight

Join
her Yahoo Club
here:
Question: "Star,
I am dying to
find out what
happened between
you and Haven
that made you
two hate each
other's guts!
Feel like sharing
any details?
And what are
you doing now
that you left
the industry?
Are you income-generating?"
Star replies:
Nothing happened
between me and
Haven...she
just never treated
me very nicely,
and ended up
flipping out
on me one night
at a classy
restaurant in
Beverly Hills
during a JKP
dinner meeting.
She comes from
low class area
of california,
and now that
she's doing
well...she thinks
she can just
go around "beating
up" people whom
she dislikes.
But what she
didn't realize
is that I'm
a Cancer, and
we'll patiently
tolerate alot
until that one
day when you
go too far.
I never gave
into her offers
for a fight,
but I was getting
close.
I've been writing
some novels
which are not
finished yet,
as well as planning
to go to school
to take up web
design. I really
have a creative
flair for web
design and find
that I can spend
literally hours
on the computer
having fun with
it. I just need
to learn dreamweaver
and flash before
I can call myself
a professional,
and actually
make a business
for myself.
There certainly
is a large demand
for it these
days. It's fun...and
it keeps my
creative juices
flowing. It
also pays well
when you have
the right clients.
Look what Jenna
Jameson did
for herself
with Club Jenna...she
has so many
porn chicks
waiting on a
list to get
her business
to produce a
website for
them. And they're
getting paid
several thou
to design and
maintain the
sites. As far
as generating
money? Sitting
at home
writing doesn't
do it til you
see your books
published. So
let's say I
took a major
loss by quitting
the biz! But
I have my head
into other things
already...and
at least I can
do this at 55
vs. porn which
only pays your
bills til you're
about 30! Some
aren't even
so fortunate
as to stay in
the biz that
long and do
well! Most of
the smarter
porn actors/actresses
and affiliates
have already
smartened up
and explored
the net for
larger business
possibilities.
There are tons
of creative
ways to not
have to sit
behind a desk
for 40 hrs.
a week and answer
to a higher
up in some corporate
day job. I'm
not knocking
it for those
who do slave
away to keep
this country
rolling...but
I certainly
am NOT one of
those types.
I need change,
I need creativity,
and most importantly
to be home with
my dog and
able to pick
up and go at
a moment's notice
as I believe
enjoying the
finer things
in life doesn't
require money...all
they require
is lots of personal
time for family,
home, pets,
and nature!
Question: Hey
Star, I think
your boob job
is great. I
saw photos and
videos of you
in your earlier
days and I think
you boob job
worked great.
How long did
it keep you
out of action,
and what is
the drawback
in regards to
exercise? Did
you feel your
marketability
increase with
your chest size.
You and Sondra
Hall always
looked as sexy
in your clothes
as you did doing
a scene. That
is a big plus...
Star replies:
Thank You for
the compliments!
I actually had
a lift first
then implants
added due to
the tightening
and removal
of skin causing
a reduction
of breast size.
I always had
D sized breasts...but
after I lost
weight in high
school...they
began to sag...I
had lost fatty
tissue in the
breast. But
I still fit
comfortably
only in a size
D...even before
the operation.
Implants were
then added,
because a lift
is similar to
a reduction
and I was NOT
going smaller
since I was
used to D's
and loved them.
I actually fit
into the same
size bra right
after my operation
as I did before
hand. So...it
was not about
marketability
for me. JKP
believed me
to be more marketable
since my breasts
were firmer
and more pleasing
to the eye...and
that's why it
was a mutual
decision. At
that point in
time, they were
actually really
looking to sign
natural girls
and that's when
they signed
Jenna Haze.
So as far as
size being the
factor...it
simply was not
the case in
my situation.
As far as what
"I" thought...I
had ALWAYS wanted
something done
to improve the
firmness in
my breasts since
I lived in Pennsylvania...long
before porn
was even a shadow
of a thought
in my brain.
So I am more
than HAPPY to
clear up this
common misconeception
placed upon
many girls in
the adult industry.
Always remember,
there are more
reasons than
not why
I was and am
very different
than alot of
the girls in
the biz!
Question: Star,
you've spoke
so candidly
about your experiences
within the biz.
But i was wondering,
do you think
you are better
off for what
you've gone
through in the
biz? Compare
yourself from
before you started
making films
to now when
you are done.
How do you think
you've changed
mentally and
emotionally,
and how much
of your development
do you think
can be attributed
to these experiences?
Star replies:
Hmmmm...your
question requires
alot of thought!
Certainly something
I HAVE thought
about since
i left the biz.
First of all...being
in the shadiest
biz in Los Angeles,
I realized that
sometimes it's
not more shady
than the mainstream
film industry
and music industry
at all! In fact...they
all seem to
go hand in hand...and
everybody knows
everybody anyway!
But entertainment
in LA is a hard
biz to be in
in general.
Alot of double
standards, judgements,
gossip, using
people, etc.
going on. It
was tough finding
my way in LA
in general...and
to be truthful...I
still haven't
quite found
my way.
But I have found
happiness which
I beginning
to doubt was
ever
possible in
a city like
this! Porn taught
me alot about
what
people's true
motives are
and what people
really want
from you! It
has also taught
me unfortunately...not
to trust ANYONE!
As a result
it has taught
me that you
should treasure
those you find
along the way
whom you can
trust...because
they are hard
to come by.
Being in such
a hard industry
has also begun
to teach me
how not to worry
so much about
what other people
think of you
(I'm still trying
to reach the
end of that
obstacle as
I've always
been so lacking
in self-confidence.)
It has taught
me alot of lessons
about alot of
things...though
I really don't
wish to go on
talking about
my family (which
is too personal
for me to get
into on here,
but I will in
my book...)...I
do want to say
it has taught
me about unconditional
love and lack
thereof. This
has taught me
how I want to
raise and care
for my own children
when it comes
time they make
a decision that
I don't favor.
I will still
love them regardless
and lend my
shoulder for
when they fall
instead of washing
my hands of
them to leave
them out in
the cold. Parents
can guide their
children or
stray them away
from certain
elements of
life...but if
they try to
hard and become
too restrictive,
it often puts
the child in
a position where
they feel they
are not breathing
the air of the
world. Makes
them feel suffocated.
And so instead,
they go out
and explore
everything and
anything just
to get to people
who told them
"no" all of
their lives.
(A very good
message that
was delivered
in the movie
"Finding Nemo"
I saw tonight
at the theater.)
I know people
cluck their
tongues, roll
their eyes,
and doubt that
anyone can learn
valuable child
rearing and
family values
lessons from
time spent within
the "porn" industry...but
guess what!
I DID! People
have so rudely
commented on
previous sites
about my wanting
to have children
with very awful
comments doubting
my capabilities
to one day be
a mother. But
look at how
many mothers
not involved
in the biz at
all give birth
to their own
crack babies...or
those who leave
them lying half
dead in a dumpster
somewhere, or
worse yet...give
birth when they
have no money
or no time to
care after them
like a real
parent should.
That criticism
really hurt
because I knew
girls having
abortions in
high school...when
here I am...25...never
to have given
birth because
I do not feel
it is the right
time nor that
I am mentally
ready to bring
another life
into my
own and take
care of him/her
the best way
that I can.
But I certainly
do not wash
away any of
the things I
havelearned...no
sir...I do not
take them for
granted at all.
Instead I make
a mental note
of it...and
realize that
most things
we do as adults
is a direct
result of our
childhoods.
And that...is
the most crucial
and precious
time a parent
can make an
impact on their
children. Still
some parents,
take that time
for granted,
and wait til
it's too late.
Well that won't
be me...and
if it means...that
I have to teach
my children
what it's like
to be used,
carted around
like meat, and
treated like
a shallow-brained
idiot...I WILL
tell them where
I learned it
and how. They
deserve to know.
My parents always
held from us
the fact that
they weren't
virgins when
they were married...and
in fact...outright
LIED to us about
it. So why do
you think I
waited til I
was 18 to tell
my mother that
I wasn't? Cause
how do you talk
to a perfect
"christian"
such as my mother
about "sinning"
in such a way.
But it turns
out they weren't
perfect and
because they
gave us this
false vision
of perfection...we
felt we couldn't
come to them.
I don't want
my kids to feel
uncomfortable
around me. I
want to be there
for them. And
if I wanted
them badly enough
to bring them
into the world...I
WILL NOT discard
them...no matter
what they do
with themselves...and
THAT I have
learned from
PORN!

Star
E. Knight
writes
on her
Yahoo
group,
the most
compelling
porn star
Yahoo
group
on the
web:
Jill [Kelly]
and Bob
[Friedland]
tried
to convince
me for
the longest
time not
to
go the
IR route...but
as soon
as they
caught
wind I
had already
done a
scene
with Lex...they
were game.
Unfortunately
it was
too late.
I had
the opporunity
to meet
Sean and
Marcus
at the
2002 AVN
Awards...and
both blew
me away!
They are
incredibly
sexy men.
However,
my porn
days are
over...so
the outlook
of me
doing
an IR
scene
is just
as unlikely
as the
chance
of my
ever doing
any kind
of scene!
The subject
of IR
scenes
from a
contract
girl's
point
of view
is really
shady.
She has
the opportunity
to bring
a wider
based
fanhood
into her
group
of fans
by becoming
more marketable
in the
black
fans market.
She also
runs the
risk of
losing
the "majority"
(and I
stress
"majority"
because
obviously
there
are many
different
walks
of life
who like
and watch
porn)
of her
fans.
The "majority"
really
does consist
of mid
west white
american
males...who
let's
face it...still
aren't
used to
dealing
with people
of different
races.
I grew
up in
a small
hick town
in Pennsylvania...and
we had
maybe
one black
guy in
the town...and
nobody
liked
him or
his chick
cause
she
was white.
So to
make a
long story
short...the
"majority"
of a
contract
girl's
fans are
the racist
types
who absolutley
DO NOT
want to
see her
with a
black
guy...and
that could
defintately
ruin her
career.
Jill and
Bob were
afraid
of losing
my marketability
in the
beginning
if they
let me
do IR
scenes...but
I argued
them for
a long
time because
I would
not listen
to their
reason...I
instead
wanted
to portray
a little
bit of
the "true"
me who
likes
black
guys in
my personal
life so
long as
they are
attractive!
But many
other
porn chicks
buy into
the "marketability"
argument
on IR
scenes...and
don't
do it!
And yes...they
do make
up every
excuse
in the
book...but
sometimes
they mean
what they
say...(i.e.
I can't
find any
black
dudes
in the
biz I'm
attracted
to). Maybe
it's because
they don't
want to
hurt their
black
fans'
feelings
and risk
losing
them,
and maybe
it's because
they're
racist
themselves
and do
not like
black
guys.
But that's
the truth
about
how it's
viewed
among
contract
companies.
Other
companies
(like
anabolic)
pride
themselves
on their
scenes
involving
little
girls
who look
like they're
still
in high
school
getting
plummeted
by a big
black
dude and
their
"majority"
of fans
are horny
black
men...so
it works
well...and
they make
a huge
profit.
But frankly...those
hard core
companies
are the
only ones
who can
get away
with it...at
this point
in time....!

Hi...I

Ha, Ha,
Ha! That

No where

I even

I don't

and JKP
likes
to tell
all of

that they

any girl
who believes
that...is
stupid
enough
to be
taken
advantage
of in
that way
and belongs
with JKP!
Little
does JKP
know...but
a few
of us
had discussed
our contracts,
and we
found
differences!
So that
goes to
show what
kind of
liars
they are!
