Temptress In a Tea Pot Over IVD Open House

Temptress In a Tea Pot Over IVD Open House

Apparently Temptress has raised more than a mild tempest in a teapot with her no-show at the IVD 15th Annual Open House yesterday in New Jersey. Temptress and her boyfriend flew to the east coast to represent the Zane Entertainment Group but never got to the function.

"We paid for both their flights, and totally took care of both of them," Zane publicist Adella O'Neill said. "We let her bring her boyfriend. We sent out a ton of supplies for IVD to help support them. Temptress called 6pm east coast time yesterday to say she never made it downstairs to the hotel to get on the shuttle to the show. We spent a fortune on this girl, and she flaked. I don't know if she went out partying, but she said she couldn't get in touch with anyone to get a ride over to the show. But if she would have walked downstairs at the Ramada, IVD was shuttling people there every half hour. Bert [Levesque] was working really close with IVD to make this happen; he kept reassuring them that this little promotion was going to be beautiful. Then this happened. This is a big bummer. Of course Zane will never use her for anything."

Mike Kay said IVD was disappointed that Temptress didn't show. "Our customers were looking forward to her signing and being part of the annual event." Kay said IVD had a couple of hundred stores in attendance [400 to 500 people]. "People came to see our newly-built facility. They came from coast to coast, north and south." Kay said IVD added 20,000 square feet to its existing warehouse facilities and now boasts plus or minus 50,000 sq. feet of space.

Performers that did show included Jasmin St. Claire, Tyler, Spontaneeus Xstasy, Crystal Knight, Tabitha Stevens, Alex Taylor, Stephanie Swift, Elle, Vanessa Del Rio and Alexandra Silk.

Fleishman Funeral Services

Gloria Leonard writes: "I attended funeral services for Stanley Fleishman yesterday, the great defender of First Amendment rights and those of disabled Americans, and though the services were poignant and uplifting, I was stunned by the absence of countless adult industry people who Stanley represented over the years in a variety of legal matters, often saving their asses from being thrown in jail! Of the estimated 200 people who did attend, there were only five other people whom I recognized from the adult arena - Howie Klein, attorneys John Weston and Jeffrey Douglas, Ken and Barbara Olsen and myself. And though the family asked that contributions be sent to the ACLU in lieu of flowers, the Los Angeles ACLU's own Ramona Ripston was noticeably absent. A Klezmer band played soulful music before and after and inspiring eulogies were delivered by attorney/friend, Steven Rhodie, Mrs. Fleishman and one of the three Fleishman daughters, whose name I regret eludes me. Stanley was a great man in every sense of the word - a true "mensch" - and he will be missed."

Cicciolina: "I Was a Commie-Dupe-Spy-Pinko!

Former porn star Ilona Staller, aka Cicciolina, who is currently a member of Italy's parliament, said in a television interview Sunday that she had been a communist spy in her youth.

Staller said she was 19 and working as a waitress at a major international hotel in Budapest when she was recruited.

"Three well dressed men approached me one day and asked if I would like to make more money and when I said yes, they told me what to do," Staller told RTL Klub TV. Staller, 47, said she received no special training to work as a spy, but was told which hotel guests to talk to and what to ask.

She continued the work for a few years before emigrating to Italy.

Staller was interviewed for a program on the disappearance of files on people who worked for the secret police, most of which are believed to have been destroyed.

Cross Dresser Gets Jail Term for Knocking Out Woman's Teeth

Patrick Hagan just got a 2 1/2 year prison sentence for punching out a bar patron. Which wouldn't be so bad except Hagan shuffled off to serve his sentence wearing a black-and-pink print dress and a matching pink blouse.

Before he held out his wrists to accept a bailiff's handcuffs, the 6-foot-3, 280-pound Hagan asked for a moment to remove his jewelry - all of which he struggled with.

"It's not a pretty picture in the state prison system," Florida circuit court Judge Stanley Mills told Hagan, a cross-dresser who is awaiting sex-change surgery. Hagan was convicted in July of punching a bar patron in the mouth. The victim, 40-year-old Cheryl Partsch, lost five teeth and could end up paying as much as $60,000 in medical bills. The incident occured at a bar frequented by cross-dressers. Hagan was accused of battering Partsch because she questioned his presence in the women's restroom.

A jury found Hagan guilty of misdemeanor battery, punishable by up to a year in jail. But Hagan was on probation from a felony illegal dumping conviction at the time, and the recent conviction also meant he had violated his probation, which can be punished with state prison time.

Defense lawyer Robert Attridge argued a prison sentence would be especially difficult for Hagan, given the level of violence in Department of Corrections facilities and the hostility to which cross-dresser often are subjected. Hagan took the stand to say he punched Partsch in self-defense after she kicked open the door to the bathroom stall he was in.

"I am very sorry this woman got her faced punched," Hagan said. "What happened was a hate crime. I was only defending myself. I am not a violent person."

Prosecutor Scott Andringa argued Hagan deserved a stiff prison sentence because of his lengthy criminal record, including convictions for burglary, armed robbery, grand theft and dealing in stolen property.

Hagan, a former septic-truck driver and martial arts expert, said he has mellowed since taking hormones in preparation for surgery.

"My emotions and behavior have completely changed since I've gone through my sex change," he said. "Give me the benefit of the doubt."

Nevada Officials Opt for Tighter Brothel Regs

Remember the story we ran a couple of weeks ago about how Nevada is attempting to tighten up regulations on the sex industry? Well, here it comes, in which case, it soon may become more difficult to own a brothel in Storey County. The County Commission is considering adopting tighter restrictions on who can own and operate the legal houses of prostitution. Commissioner Greg "Bum" Hess said it's time to put some teeth in the county's brothel ordinance. "We have to have more control," he said.

Commissioner Carl Trink made it clear he doesn't support action that would lead to a possible ban on brothels. "I'd never vote to rescind the ordinance," Trink said at the Virginia City meeting. Because the item wasn't placed on the agenda with sufficient notice, commissioners agreed to continue the debate in early November.

"It's always been in the best interests of county residents to either have a (prostitution) industry that's controlled -- or not to have the industry at all," Commission chairman Chuck Haynes said.

The federal government shut down two brothels at the Mustang Ranch last month as part of a fraud and conspiracy case. Only one brothel remains open in the county, the Old Bridge Ranch east of Reno owned by David Burgess. The commission voted earlier this year to yank his license because of his association with the Hells Angels. But the panel's action later was overturned in court. Burgess said he is talking to potential investors about selling the property.

Brothel industry lobbyist George Flint, who represents former Mustang Ranch owner A.G.E. Corp. and has been retained by Burgess, said two potential buyers of the brothel are in discussions.

Flint said one potential buyer is from Lyon County and another from Nye County. He declined to identify them. Both Lyon and Nye counties have what Flint described as "benchmark ordinances" covering brothels, and he suggested Storey officials look closely at them.

"Storey needs a new and improved ordinance," Flint said.

XXX-Treme Vacation

Ron Jeremy and Scott Stein of smspromotions.com were guests on the Conway & Steckler radio show [KLSX 97.1 Los Angeles] Thursday night. Jeremy and Stein were there to tout the XXX-treme adults-only vacation in Mexico scheduled for October 17 to 23. "Triple-X is the important part," Stein noted. Jeremy was introduced as "The Greatest porn star in the history of guys."

"These guys are unbelievable; they make their money f'.. in women," Conway said in introducing his guests. "There's a little dialog involved, but basically you got it right there," Jeremy quipped. Jeremy said he started in the business 21 years ago, "when half the girls I'm working with were sperm." When asked, Jeremy said he didn't have any kids. "I don't think a woman would admit it," he said. "I'm not going to have child support problems."

Jeremy was asked how many women he's banged and gave a rather wordy dissertation in reply. "I've done about 1600 movies," he said. "I have the world's record with a guy named Tom Byron. We both did the most. I figured I did 1601 women. One girl really liked me, the rest had to get paid. I've gone through a few thousand I guess.

"Wilt Chamberlain was so foolish that he said he had 20,000 women," Jeremy continued. "What is a girl going to say on a date. I'm going to be 20,001? If you brag like that, guys think you're putz; girls think you're a putz. To tell the truth, there must be 3,000, to be honest. That's not as many as you might think in a 21 year period." Jeremy said he gets excited by new faces; someone who's interested in him. "I'm a little out of shape right now," he concedes. "If some girl finds me a turn-on, I find her a turn-on."

Asked if there was anyone in particular that he was tired of banging, Jeremy's reply was, "Nobody really. I've done a lot of the goofy scenes - the heavy girl videos, the older women videos. That's a tough scene. You're earning your money." Jeremy wouldn't say how old was the oldest woman he's been with. "But she complained she couldn't find men her age to keep an erection. I said, honey, guys your age have been dead for ten years. Her name was Rosie."

It was mentioned that Jeremy has a Masters degree in Special Ed. from Queens College in New York. "It prepared me for a life in Hollywood," he said.

Conway: "After all those beautiful chicks don't you want a guy to give you a hummer?"

Jeremy: "There's nothing wrong with it - if a guy turned me on, but I would never get a lift off."

Jeremy says he can still get it going, though he's quick to point out that some performers in the business are using Viagra. "I never have, and I won't," he said. "If it gets that bad, I'll just quit. So far it still works pretty good."

Conway: "How do you get going? Do you just reach down and tickle your nuts?"

Jeremy: "I like to hug and kiss. That might sound corny. I kiss the girl, use my face, things like that."

Jeremy claims he could still handle five or six pop shots a day if he had to. "You need maybe an hour break, but by the fifth one, it's going to be pretty weak," he admits. Jeremy mentioned that he directed the John Wayne Bobbit movie; and, that, prior to Viagra, they used a live enzyme, prostaglan, which causes an automatic hard-on. "We used that in some of the scenes. You use a very small needle," he said. Jeremy also refuted the rumor that he only has one nut. Jeremy said he has two nuts but his scrotum is small.

Though it was assumed he was a performer, Stein dispelled that notion quickly. "I put together a vacation package that Ron's involved in. We send down about 50 adult stars to Mexico."

"People are going to witness actual sex scenes in progress where you're close enough to breathe on them," Jeremy added.

Stein likened the vacation to a baseball fantasy camp. "But instead of shagging flies like Maury Wills, or slapping your wife around like Steve Garvey, you go down there and party with your favorite adult stars," Stein commented. "We take over the whole property, 212 rooms. We convert it to the world's largest porno set. It's right on the ocean. Metro, Ronnie's company, has the exclusive video rights. They film about 70 scenes on location. If you're sitting by the pool having a marguerita with your buddy, they're shooting a scene on the chair right next to you. If you're at dinner, they're clear off the table and go at it."

"Book yourself a room for godsakes," Conway advised his audience. "It's about $1300 for the whole week - unlimited food, unlimited alcohol," Stein added. "But you have to book your own air.

"We have a lot of couples going this year," Stein continued. "The reason we limit it to 300 people is so we can make it proportionate men to women. So it's never 500 guys looking at 10 women. We also make clothing optional for the whole week. Here's the chance for the public to find out what it's like to be on an adult film set."

Attorney Stanley Fleishman Dies

Gloria Leonard writes: "Legendary First Amendment attorney and recipient of the Free Speech Coalition's coveted "Freedom Isn't Free" award, Stanley Fleishman, passed away this week. Fleishman, confined to a wheelchair as a result of childhood polio, was a tireless warrior noted not only for numerous First Amendment cases but on behalf of disabled Americans, winning them the right to serve on juries, in press boxes, etc. A detailed profile on the great man begins on Page 3 of today's Los Angeles Times, continues on Page 24. Public services will be held this Sunday, September 26th at the Leo Baeck Temple, 1300 N. Sepulveda Boulevard in Brentwood. The family has requested that donations be made to the American Civil Liberties Union."

The Bianca-Bradley Wars

Bianca Trump says stories being relayed by Kianna Bradley and her girlfriend on the Luke Ford site are bullshit.

Trump: "This is fucking ridiculous. I don't even know how to respond to half of what she's saying. Now they're going on to say they're tied into the Mafia. I faxed Luke. I said I'm going to put an end to this whole thing. She's [Bradley] trying to say she's not an escort. I faxed him her [Bradley's] escort application and Polaroid. I'm disgusted because they're full of shit. Now she's on the other site calling me a fat whore and this and that. And then she knows all about me robbing these guys. I thought she didn't know me. This girl is a fucking scumbag, and that's the best way I can put it. Nothing out of her mouth is true. If she was smart she'd crawl in a corner and hush up. I don't know if she's trying to hide all this stuff from Earl [Slate] or what she's trying to do."

Trump responds to comments made by Earl Slate about Trump's pimping and pandering. Trump observed that an escort service is legal in Florida. "I do not any longer own one. But I did have a license when I owned one. The girls sign a contract saying they won't engage in prostitution and all the Florida statutes that surround that. If you want to get technical, if that's what you want to call it, then I pimped your fucking wife. I'm a scumbag, whatever."

Trump says Bradley is slandering the names of good people by suggesting a certain club in Florida is affiliated with the Mafia. "For starters, these are a group of guys down here who have shark tattoos on their arms. They're amateur boxers. They do a lot of matches for local childrens' charities. What she's saying is not true about a nice group of guys. It's a bad thing to say. They do all work night jobs because they want to train and have their days to themselves. The do work in niteclubs or strip clubs and are bouncers because they're all in good shape.

"She also said she's worked for Michael J. Peters for 12 years. How? When she's only 23. If she wants to deny being an escort I have her application."

Trump said she was more than happy to set the record straight on the following email sent by Mike Albo.

Albo: "Gene: I seem to recall a newspaper story from a few years back that had Bianca Trump involved in some sort of robbery of one of her escort "clients."

"Basically, the story (from what I remember) went something like this: \n Trump cased out the residence of one of her "clients" and then tipped off some friends of hers who then broke into the client's house and robbed him. I seem to recall something about an assault as well.

"Since I can longer locate the newspapper clipping documenting this incident, could you look into the matter? Tens of people are interested."

Trump said she was set up.

Trump: "As the story goes, I went on a call. I made a comment to the driver of the service, because they didn't let you go on calls by yourself, nor did I know the area at the time, that the guy was fucking whacked. There's a cancellation fee for not staying. He only had big bills, he was doing drugs. It was a very weird incident. I had to go out and ask the driver for change. The driver didn't have change. He had to go get change. He came back. When I came back into the house the guy said what happened? What the fuck was that all about.

"I told the whole story to this driver and how this weirdo guy had money in a weirdo place. I left it at that. Three months down the line, apparently what happened is that the driver had some deadbeat friends, some career criminal guys, go to this guy's house. They were looking for money in this strange spot. That tipped the guy in the house off.

"When the police caught them they snitched out the driver. When he got arrested he proceeded to blame it all on me. He went to say it was all my idea. Because of this I don't know why I still live here. They took me in for questioning. I admitted that I knew this scenario with this guy. It's few and far between that I have bad instances with clients. The other two guys couldn't pinpoint me or anything. But they held me. They held me without bond because I was new to the area. I didn't have social roots here. I didn't own a home or property. They considered me a flight risk. We took it to trial. I refused to put up a plea bargain. And I won. I didn't do anything wrong. I was exonerated of all charges. It was a bullshit case, and a jury of six decided the same thing, that it was a bullshit case. The prosecutor even admitted to me saying it was all a media hype. He said he was doing his job and being pressured into doing it for the headline: "Porn Star Masterminds..." They couldn't just drop it. I'm the only case this career criminal prosecutor has ever lost. They had no evidence. The guys involved all pleaded and went to jail. I had no further contact with them. That's the whole story. That was my one time in the pokey and my one time out. Shit happens."
