Janine and Ren Savant Appear on Howard Stern
Janine and director Ren Savant were on the Howard Stern show this morning to discuss their film, Seven Deadly Sins, as part of the new Stern feature, Porn off the Month discussion. Stern's first comment out of the box was that Janine had black hair in the movie. "That disturbed me," he said.
Savant was interviewed first and discussed the intricacies of his name change from Robyn Dyer. Savant, 37, explained that Dyer was a collective name. He said that post time on Seven Deadly Sins took a long time and that he didn't get the right people knowing about his name change. The Dyer name appears on the boxcover. Savant also mentioned that he only works by himself, now.
Stern noted on several occassions that $80,000 was spent on the film. "Rarely do they do that in porn," Stern commented. "Why not just take Janine, and stick her in a room with some lesbians? Why try to make an arty film?"
"Vivid's a leader in adult films, and their whole persona is topnotch, class work - movies of substance," Savant replied. Stern agreed. Savant mentioned that the opening 10 minutes of Seven Deadly Sins was videotaped at the CES convention in Las Vegas. When asked, Savant told Stern that he has edited "real" movies.
"It seems that you're angling for that and trying to go legit," Stern commented. "In a sense," Savant said. "My feeling is that we want to do real movies that have sex in them as opposed to doing sex movies." Savant, who also wrote the film, said he did the casting for the film. Savant said he wrote the film with Janine in mind. When asked, he also said that he got aroused doing the movie. "I did during the Janine scenes," he admitted. Savant said it was a "misnomer" that directors go around banging the starlets. "It's not like that. There was no casting couch."
The running gag on Stern for the past week has been Michael J. Cox. "Who is Michael J. Cox? We can't figure out which actor he was," Stern said. "I say he was the guy in the scene with the wife who was very bitchy. He was the best-looking guy in the movie in my opinion." Savant noted that the actor-in-question was James Bonn. "James Bong?" Stern asked. "Michael J. Cox is the evangelist," Savant noted. "That's the greatest name, Michael J. Cox," Stern said. Savant informed Stern that both Cox and Bonn have best actor awards from AVN.
"They're saying that this is a shoo-in to pick up multiple awards at the Adult Video News Awards," Stern noted. "Are you up for best director? There's probably no one out there who can beat you because this is the most expansive and expensive movie," Stern observed. "Are you the Jim Cameron of porn? Is that what you're trying to angle for?" Stern wanted to know.
"Not exactly," said Savant, "because we'll never have 100 million dollars to shoot."
"They say that Janine's work in this movie is her best work ever," Stern observed. Savant agreed. When asked, Janine said the body double was Julia Ann, her girlfriend. [Janine makes love to herself with the help of some trick photography.] Stern joked about the fact that Janine came on the show dressed conservatively and that her tattoo kept appearing and disappearing during her scene in the film. "That tattoo was all over the place," he laughed. "I think you're the best-looking porno star that I can think of. I think you could have been a legitimate model. You didn't choose to go that way?"
"What was awesome for me was the acting," Janine said. "I love being that frowzy kind of no-makeup type." When pressed, Janine admitted that she hadn't seen the whole movie.
Stern brought up the issue of condom usage in one of the scenes. He said he couldn't see the condoms. Savant said he'd guarantee it, that there was. "It appears to me to my advanced, discerning eye that the man is not wearing a condom," Stern said. "It's simply the camera angle," Savant said. "You're a genius if you can hide a condom ring," Stern replied. "There's obviously more going on here than the average porno if you can do something like that."
Stern also made the observation about a lot of the men shaving their buttocks hair. "Are these guys gay?" Stern asked. Savant said absolutely not. Robin mentioned a scene where a group of guys didn't appear to get excited doing a woman until they were all watching each other. "That is kind of gay," Stern agreed. Savant mentioned that the gay and mainstream sides of the industry were really separated. "There's a huge chasm between the two," he noted. Stern asked if it was true that the guys made a lot less than the women. "Yes, but they work a lot more," Savant noted. "Do you purposefully look for someone with large genitals?" Stern asked. Savant said no. "I look for who can act."
"When you shoot these movies, these guys probably have sex and within three seconds you get your money shot and go back and shoot again. That is not true?" said Stern. "You don't? They can go for a long time? That's why I believe a lot of them are gay. No regular man can hold out for that long." Savant said it was a mind game. "Teach me that game," Stern replied. Stern also commented on how attractive Azlea [Antistia] was. Janine said she's never worked with her.
"What is the average budget on a porno?" Stern asked. Savant said it depends, that gonzos can range from 6 to $12,000. Savant also noted the Vivid girls were under contract. "It's like the old MGM," Stern observed. "Everyone was under contract and slave to the studio. Janine should get a lot of money for doing that because she's a hot chick. You'd think you'd have to pay good-looking broads a hundred grand to have sex on camera."
"Being a Vivid girl is the biggest clout in the business," Savant noted. Joking about the "symbolism" of the film, Stern said that the "Lust" scene where a girl is run over by a car was very upsetting to him. "All this girl did was fantasize about having sex with guys and, as a result, she passes out on the street with a cucumber. Then she gets up and runs right into a car. Smack head first." Robin said what was particularly irritating to her was the constant preaching that was going on. "It was driving me crazy."
"Isn't it risky when you go to Vivid and request $80,000. Didn't they say to you, at first, you're crazy?" asked Stern. Savant said Vivid was absolutely supportive. "Word will get out that you have an expensive, luxurious film, is that correct? Stern asked. "Shooting on film has a certain class just because of that," Savant said. It was mutually agreed that video has "cheapened" the industry.
"Janine, will you ever bang your fans at the Bunny Ranch?" Stern asked. Janine said no. Stern then started on Janine for her pierced tongue and how she couldn't talk properly. "I'll never understand that," he said. "You don't need it. You're just looking for stuff to do."
"I was bored when I did it," said Janine who acknowledged that being in the industry put a strain on her relationship with Rikki Rachtman but that she was with a new guy. "Does he have a big Johnson? Who is he? What does he do?" Stern wanted to know. Janine said that he was a musician with his own band. "Are you supporting a loser?" Stern asked. "He's a great guy," she said. Stern suggested it was Weird Al Yankovic.
Stern commented that he had seen reviews in AVN where Seven Deadly Sins was being called the "Titanic of porno films." [Not in AVN.] Stern suggested that Janine do Savant orally, that she owed him for her part. Stuttering John observed some scabs on her knees, to which Janine replied that she got them, not from working, but sliding into home plate. [Curveball 99.]
A caller-in asked how guys go about getting into the business. "It's really, really hard," Savant answered. "Every guy on the planet wants to have that job. Only a handful can really do it."
"There's a scene in the movie," said Stern, "where a very old couple decides that they're bored with life. They want to have sex. At the end of this scenario, the old couple have their eyes closed like they're in some kind of coma. They're under a blanket. What is going on over there? Please explain."
"The point of the whole sequence and actually all seven of the commercial scenes happen within the realm of the mind," Savant said. The point behind 'gluttony' is that they've done everything to death. They have just simply reached the point of impotence and frigidity. They can't get off on any means possible."
Janine plugged her website, teamjanine.com
Mike South mike-south.com writes: "HyGene, Shit I feel kinda bad, I mean I suggested just a couple weeks ago that a train should run over Kid Vagrant....OK it passed....All better now. I suggest next time that the driver back up and finish the job."
Mike Ross posts: "Now that the majority of the country's legislatures are closing for the year, the educational video we [the NCA] started filming last year with VCA is back on track. The video, delayed because of scheduling conflicts, is designed to teach industry professionals and consumers about the legislative process and how to participate in it.
"The video's idea came about because the industry needs a tool to educate entertainers, employees and consumers about the 'political process' and how they can help protect the first amendment. The video will also be used as a fundraising tool, public service announcement and will come with a political involvement booklet."
Russian MIG Strafes Porn Shoot
The famous or infamous Video Exclusives "100 video" shoot of years-gone-by has nothing on a project that went down in Hungary during an 18-day stretch in July. "Slammy," director of Hardcore Championship Fucking which just garnered a spotlight pick in AVN, was part of a Lolita Productions task force [he did DVD camera and behind-the-scenes] that more than equalled the Video Exclusives attempt which ultimately fell short of expectations.
"It was a very significant shoot," said Slammy of the European shoot that went from 9 in the morning to midnight each day. "We shot 24 girls every two days. Each cameraman shot three sets of scenes that turned out to be 15 total scenes per cameraman per day. We had four cameras going at the same time and did about 60 scenes a day. The way they have their tapes set up over there, is that you get a solo girl, a girl-girl; a boy-girl, a boy-girl-girl; and a boy-boy-girl-girl all in one tape. All it takes is for one girl to get funny and it turns everything around. Then it becomes a math game. When you work on a movie in LA you'll see that one girl gives a problem, and the set will be like oh shit. But when you got four sets going simultaneously, one girl can screw the whole thing up. It would have been impossible for the whole thing to go entirely smooth to begin with. And then there was a language barrier."
Slammy: "Of course one or two girls, would flake or one wouldn't have a test and we'd have to send her home. We were in the middle of Hungary somewhere, about 50 miles outside of Budapest. The first four days were shot at one place, a mansion owned by the government. I guess porn is legal there if you get a permit. It was really rainy and there must have been two zillion mosquitoes. That was pretty nightmarish in itself because we couldn't shoot outside that much without everyone getting bit. After the first four days we went to another set. That was some old museum in the middle of nowhere, nowhere. It was rainy there, too, and we had to shoot inside. But we still had four sets going all around this giant property.
"One day when it was really sunny out, we were shooting in the middle of a field. A MIG fighter was out there and kept flying around us and did maneuvers like it was showing off. It caused so much noise that we ended up shooting the plane so we could do cutaways to explain all the noise with the plane flying over. Then he came back again when we were shooting at night. I walked out in the field because I was going to try to shoot him. I went with my camera to the center of the field. I'm about half a mile from the set. I see the MIG go way out in the back wondering where he's going. Then I could see his dot. Then he's coming towards me, really low and right at me. Then he hits the ground, turns the searchlight on and shines it right in my face. Then he flies over me. I didn't know if he was going to shoot me, if I was on some government land or something like that. Man that was one of the scariest moments in my life. There was nowhere I could run with a MIG coming at me. It made me feel like, man, I'm an ant. The guy could have shot me, and I'd be a dead American in a field in Hungary. Overall it turned out really good. We had a 160 hours of footage.
Slammy said he stayed an extra week after the shoot to check out some castles in the Czech republic. "You just drive on these little roads and there's these castles on the hills. You can just cruise up there and they'll take you on a tour. We saw some castles 800 years old that looked like Led Zeppelin album covers. It was really cool. I was in one castle that was built in 900 A.D."
Slammy: "We had some Howard Stern listeners with us, too. We gave tickets to come and direct your own porno scene. We paid for two Howard Stern listeners to come out there. We had a big contest on the show which was sponsored by Lolita."
Transsexual Proves a Traffic-Stopper
As the Terri Hess trial nears, the transsexuals are getting restless. Comes a report from the state of Washington. A transsexual construction worker from Olympia stopped rush-hour traffic on I-5 when she bared her breasts, danced and spit fire atop an electrical tower at the Ship Canal Bridge.
Ara Tripp, 38, was supposedly protesting the fact that women can't go topless in public. She feels "that's discrimination," said a friend of hers, Robin Toye. Tripp was arrested and jailed for trespassing and indecent exposure after she climbed down from the 150-foot tower.
"I knew she was going to get arrested," Toye said. "She got naked, she started dancing, she spit fire, she stopped traffic and she made a spectacle of herself."
Criminal trespassing and indecent exposure are both misdemeanors that carry penalties of up to a year in jail and a fine of $5,000. Tripp climbed the tower adjacent to the Ship Canal Bridge and for about an hour danced, spit fire from her mouth and for a time removed her upper clothing.
The stunt snarled rush-hour traffic for miles on southbound I-5 and caused electricity to be shut off around 8 a.m. to some 5,000 City Light customers. Because Tripp was standing on top of a tower carrying 120,000-volt transmission lines, Seattle City Light shut off power in the surrounding area to protect her against injury, said a spokesman for the utility.
City Light also was concerned about damage to the lines from explosives, said the spokesman, who described the incident as "an extremely dangerous, hazardous situation."
Some service was restored on a piecemeal basis by routing power from other areas. But most customers didn't get their power back until after Tripp was arrested.
Traffic headed south over the bridge ground to a halt as Tripp gyrated and ignited a flammable liquid that she spit from her mouth.
Toye said Tripp used to be a man and is open about gender changes. "She gives lectures on it," Toye said. One onlooker, who watched the stunt from his apartment, said Tripp appeared to be an accomplished climber.
For several minutes while on the tower, Tripp issued puffs of smoke and streaks of flame from her mouth. At other times she appeared to be dancing, swaying to and fro, and snapping her fingers.
From the bridge deck, Seattle Fire Department negotiators tried to talk to Tripp, but she didn't respond. After about an hour, she put her top back on and began to descend the tower. She did not use the ladder, but climbed most of the way down among the angled girders that support the metal tower, jumping the last five feet to the ground. Seattle police met her when she reached the ground. Tripp offered no resistance when arrested and put in a patrol car.

It Ain't Over Until It's Over; Kid Vegas Hit by a Car
At least that's what Brad from Dangerboy Video had to say when he was informed about what transpired on the air Tuesday afternoon with the Jonathon Brandmeier show. A decision was rendered on-air to nix Mila's appearance for a live broadcast of the show later this month.
Brad writes: "Hey Gene- George told me what you heard, and I just have to tell you, DONT WORRY! We spoke to the guys at the show and the response was "Since when does a radio show listen to the program director". Anyway, its not over till its over. We are going to take the whole crew down to the radio station and make them a deal that they can't refuse. Mila will get her day of Rain. Absolute worse case scenario, we'll invite the radio show to tag along to the Kid Vegas Party and Mila will douse the boys there. Seeya- Brad."
The Kid Vegas party Brad is alluding to is scheduled for this Friday from 6 pm to ? at 11300 Hartland Street, N. Hollywood. What was unscheduled was an automobile accident Vegas was supposed to have been in Tuesday night. Vegas' Obiwon Konobi, John T. Bone, said he doesn't know too much about it except that Vegas' face is busted up.
Bone said Vegas' vid Cocksucking Skank Whores is MIA. "We gave the movie to [master] Dominic who used to be his [Vegas'] roommate. We gave him half the fee up front to edit it. He's in jail, and we can't find the movie," Bone said. Bone didn't know what Dominic's supposed to be in jail for. "We've searched his apartment, we've searched the editing bay, we searched where he used to live. We've called everybody who used to know him. Everybody tells me not to worry, but we were supposed to release the movie next week. We don't have it. Can't find it. It's missing. How's that for a funny story?"
Kid Vegas called in to confirm the story. Vegas said he was hit by a car running a red light as he was walking out of a 7-Eleven in Hollywood, Wednesday night. He went through a windshield. "I bruised my ribs, busted my head open, and I got stitches on my forehead," Vegas said. "I'm in pain and not moving out of bed, but I'm still going to have the party. I'm on some serious prescription medication."
Vegas, who went to Lake Havasu over the weekend with Johnny Toxic, said he's in San Clemente on the mend. "I'm hoping fucking Dominic will cough up the movie," he said. "He's in county jail right now. It has something to do with him not finishing his community service. The judge pulled him in and locked him up. He's probably hanging out with Sasha [Gabor]. They're probably cellmates. He's supposed to get out Thursday or Friday." Dominic, that is, not Sasha.
More Thoughts On Sasha
Jim DiGiorgio writes: "Gene, I have to agree with Mike Albo. I'm having a real hard time drumming up any sympathy for a guy whose had as many DUI's as Sasha has had, and then in the last instance, getting himself into three accidents while inebriated. To make it worse, Sasha's new friend, Spaz, has been calling and calling soliciting donations. First of all, Spaz hardly knows Sasha...I myself don't know Sasha at all, except by reputation.
"I met Spaz a year or so ago at Bob's Classy Lady while taping either Rebecca Lord's or Nikki Lynn's dance routine (I don't remember who). Anyway, this Spaz comes up to me and asks me some questions about what I do and so forth. Hey, I'm a pretty friendly guy, so I answer his questions and give him my card. Since then, I've let him be a guest on a set or two. He calls me periodically to tell me about some mainstream project he's always almost ready to move on. And he consistently attempts to come onto sets, and to in some way get involved in the adult biz. About a month or two ago, he called to tell me he'd met Sasha Gabor, and did I know him. I said I did not, although I told him I know who he is. Spaz gushed on about what a big guy in the biz Sasha is or was, and that he, Spaz, was going to do projects with him, Sasha.
"I don't hear anything for a while from Spaz. Then all of a sudden he's calling me about making donations and getting involved in getting Gabor out of the can. Now here's my take on it: I have kids, one of them is a teenage driver and the other is a pre-school toddler. And if there's one thing that really and truly frightens me when I think about the safety of my children, it's drunk drivers! I sweat it everytime my teenager gets behind the wheel of the car I bought her, and trust me, the thought of some drunk slamming into her crosses my mind often. Some drunk careening out of control, or hitting me while my pre-school son is in my car is also of great concern. I can muster some sympathy, perhaps, for someone with ONE DUI; someone who maybe wasn't wasted, but just a little over the legal limit after a party or whatever. But multiple DUI's? forget about it! Personally, I've never had a DUI, although there were some times that, had I been stopped, I probably would have. But since I became a father nearly 18 years ago, I don't drink and drive. I still drink, but I don't drive! And I don't have too much sympathy for those who do.
"P.S. Mitchie and AIM have to be out of their fucking minds to get behind something like this. It's bullshit, pure and simple."
East Coast Show Parties
On the i-Candy front, Mara Epstein notes that the company is getting ready to release "Insatiable" on DVD. "It's fun and retro and almost makes you feel like your back in the 70's," says Epstein. Epstein points out that i-Candy is the only authorized distributor for Insatiable on DVD.

No Jellybeans in Zoe's Future
Zoe, who celebrated her birthday Wednesday, says she's been hearing rumors and getting e-mails about an alleged record deal involving her and Jellybean Benitez. "Somebody from a UK TV show wanted to do a feature on it," she says. "I said I'm flattered, but I don't know what you're talking about. I said maybe they want to do something, but I'm always the last to know. I don't even know who Jellybean is."
Final Thoughts on Vegas, the City That Is
Mad Jack called in with a few additional words on what might seem to be the trench warfare escalating between him and Mark Kernes. Jack said Kernes should develop a sense of humor, that he read Kernes' rebuttal to his comments made about last week's Gentlemen's Expo in Las Vegas. "I guess he thought I insulted him, I didn't mean to," Jack says. "That wasn't my intention.The whole fucking thing was a joke - I was down there, but I went overboard on everything because I was just in one of those moods." Jack's PMS aside, he said he got "fucking repercussions" from other quarters on some of the things he wrote about the Expo. He declined to elaborate on just what they were, but the word "lawsuit" did manage to rear its head into the conversation.
Jack: "All bullshit aside, I'm sure it was an awesome trade show for trade people," says Jack. "It wasn't my kind of thing. I'm a fucking pervert. I want to see pretty girls wearing almost nothing and hang out and shmooze with them. I'm not interested in talking to people who are selling drink mixers and lighting fixtures. But, no joking aside, overall, it was very small. It was in a teeny little room. This thing was maybe an eighth the size of CES. To me that's pretty small.
"I went in about 10 in the morning when they were setting up, and there was maybe 40 booths, max. It was a very small room. My whole reason for going down was to drop off promo packs of Senecca to the Lee Agency and try to get it hooked up with the dance-thing.
"I'm going to get myself in trouble with this shit, but these club owners are all full of themselves with the gold chains and stubby cigars which were definitely happening. They were hanging out at Cleopatra's barge [at Caesar's.] But the bouncer-thing was for real. They had a couple of monster gorillas at the door [of the Expo] to make sure you were legit, or you weren't getting in. They wanted their $300. I think somebody made a calling."
Jack says expect a big push for Senecca at the CES show with her appearing at the Midnight booth. Senecca's Mad Jackin' is her first video title due out in November.
Jack says he just finished a smothering-bagging-drowning-trampling video for IBN. "This is some wild shit," he said. "And I'll be finishing up 18 In Vegas, the second volume within the next week." Jack says he's got Stacy Burke stacyburke.com of the F/X channel coming into town to do a fetish video for him.
Jack: "She's coming in Las Vegas for a convention. Something's happening next week, I have no idea what it is. I live here and I'm the last to know about these things."
Rayne Looks Ahead to Barnstorming Days for Curveball 2000
Rayne called to say she's locking in talent for the Club XXXtravagant shows that will be held in October, November and December at Live Bait in Long Beach. The proceeds are going both to SAFDA and Christmas presents for underprivileged children.
Rayne also says the results of Curveball 99 were "wonderful". "We raised over $14,000 for Self Awareness for Disabled Americans [SAFDA]. The program starts this Sunday," she says. "We have a group of people that will be in an ongoing class for Martial Arts training. That's two hours every Sunday. Once a month, we also have a self-awareness, street-smart, motivational and self-defense class. We take anywhere from 20 to 25 people with disabilities, and it's free to them. The money that we raised pays for it. How many people we take depends on how many wheelchairs are in the group. If we have a lot of wheelchairs, we'll take 20. If we have various diabilities, we can take 25. They can contact me or the Dojo and sign up for the course. Right after each course, the sign-up begins for the following month."
[Call 714-703-4553 or write P.O. Box 698, Westminster, CA 92684 for information on the Martial Arts classes.]
"I'm really excited about the whole program," says Rayne who's already working on Curveball 2000 and plans to take the show literally on the road with a barnstorming team. "I want to have ten girls, who, instead of dancing at clubs, will tour to play ball," she says. "We've been asked to bring Curveball 2000 to Florida, to Pennsylvania - we'll have two levels of sponsors, corporate sponsors and local sponsors. So far I've got interest in the tour from Lyssa Luck, Rea'l Good, Kim Chambers and Janine. Nothing's been locked in or confirmed, but I've got girls and companies who are interested."
Adajja Adams
Dimple-cheeked Adajja Adams is so fresh off the bus, her seat still bears warm traces of her ass' contours. Adams hasn't even done a sex scene yet. But that situation should alter very rapidly once the industry-at-large gets a gander at this ultra soft-spoken, adorable blond from North Carolina.
"I've got a lot of things going on, I just don't know which way to go; I'm a little overwhelmed," smiles Adams who said she just got her boobs and was manager shopping in the process. She mentions Scotty Schwartz's name at the top of an informal list of prospects. Outside of The Toy and Brett Dobin, when was the last time Schwartz got marquee billing like that?
Adams, a former receptionist and customer service rep for a boat manufacturing company, danced in men's clubs in North Carolina and Virginia Beach. Topless Go-Go dancing, that is. She met Ginger Lynn who was featuring at a club where Adams was a house girl. They became friends. "She's a really nice woman," says Adams who's already got the game figured out about making apropos comments.
After meeting Lynn, Adams, at the behest of Ginger, came into town for the Summer Expo where the big deal for her was getting Ron Jeremy's autograph. Adams, who's now living out here, says she brought a boyfriend along with her, but he's apparently working his own thing in the business. After a couple of relationships with men who apparently were lying scumbags, Adams says she discovered her bisexuality about six years ago. And, since then, Misty Rain has become one of her goals of self-discovery and horizon-expanding.
"I danced nude for the first time last night," Adams proclaims as though nudity has yet to be discovered in North Carolina. "And I've done things on film," she adds with sly inference. Apparently one of those things on film was a hotel room audition conducted by Ginger Lynn to make sure Adams would pass a test. "We passed," she smiled. "Put it this way, Ginger's very faithful to her man."
Another of Adams' Expo adventures had Max Hardcore first wanting to interview her, then proceed to a hotel room. Obviously, cookies and milk were not on the agenda. "I didn't know much about Max Hardcore, and Ginger informed me that he's exactly what he is, Max HARDCORE. It's not that I don't do anal or anything, but I'm not prepared to do that, yet," Adams says. "I've watched some of his films, but it's not as rough as I thought it would be."
