Cincy Obscenity Trial Continues with the Showing of Two Videos

Cincy Obscenity Trial Continues with the Showing of Two Videos

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Butler County Assistant Prosecutor Dan Gattermeyer yesterday urged jurors in an obscenity trial not to turn away when two of the three videotapes in question were shown. The jurors didn't.

For more than three hours, the jurors watched the explicit videotapes, Orgymania and Best of Freaks. A female juror appeared to tear up at times, while others were sometimes startled during certain scenes. The third videotape, Sinderella She Male, might be shown when the trial resumes today before Butler County Common Pleas Judge Keith Spaeth.

Peter Tomaino, owner of VIP Video in Hamilton and Milville, and two store clerks, Billie J. Doan and Caroletha Geter, are charged with three counts of pandering obscenity. The charges stem from the purchase of the three videos by an undercover sheriff's deputy and an undercover Hamilton police officer in late 1997 and early 1998. The jury will be asked to decide if the videos are legally obscene.

"They are presented to appeal to an unwholesome, unhealthy interest in sex," Gattermeyer said. "The commercials in here are (even) obscene."

In Orgymania, at least 10 people were shown performing sex acts on one another at the same time, and Best of Freaks featured sexual acts with allegedly malformed body parts.

"It's not a scientific expose of birth defects," Gattermeyer said of Best of Freaks.

The three-man, nine-woman jury took two days to seat because many potential jurors objected on religious grounds to adult videos, or said they couldn't watch them. There are two male alternates.

In an opening statement, H. Louis Sirkin, attorney for Mr. Tomaino, pointed out that nothing in the store was hidden and that there is no secrecy. The stores have been in place for years, he said.

Sirkin represented Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt in a recent Hamilton County obscenity case that ended in a plea bargain.

Attorneys for the two clerks said their clients were just doing their jobs in the stores. "It's not her job to scrutinize the material in this case," said Daniel Hurr, Geter's attorney. "Her job is to sell it."

While the videos were shown, a bailiff guarded the courtroom door and checked to make sure those entering were of legal age. There were several observers in the courtroom, including some who said they oppose adult material. That led to an incident at the end of the day between a spectator and Tomaino's wife, Barbara. Mrs. Tomaino told Judge Spaeth that after she got up leave the courtroom, someone verbally lectured her about the videos and inquired about the effect of the videos on Mrs. Tomaino's children.

Mrs. Tomaino said she told the person: "Lady, you must be out of your ever-loving mind." Though Common Pleas Court Bailiff William Kline said the jury had left the courtroom and not seen the exchange, Judge Spaeth said he would consider asking the jury about it when the trial resumes.

Al Goldstein Appears on Conan O'Brien

Host O'Brien urged Screw publisher Al Goldstein to explain to the audience his presence on the "most prostigious and popular late night show in history". Goldstein related a story about finding O'Brien under the bar at a New York restaurant with Goldstein sending over a business card saying he would perform oral sex on O'Brien with O'Brien supposedly running over saying that was the best offer he ever had. "Why was your staff so dumb to have never booked me before?" Goldstein wanted to know. O'Brien asked Goldstein to describe the Screw reader.

"The average Screw reader is the Conans of the world," Goldstein said, "uptight, Irish people who dodn't know what sex is....the bottom line is you have a girlfriend, when this show is cancelled, she'll dump you so fast. You are a lonely Irish guy. You'll be masturbating yourself to sleep, and your hand will fall asleep, even further rejection....maybe this is why I've never been booked before. I'm a foul-mouted vulgarian."

O'Brien brought up the Fuck You segment which Goldstein has on Midnight Blue where Goldstein goes after businesses that piss him off. "This whole audience has been ripped off and violated," Goldstein said. "I'm the voice of reason that says we're not going to take it anymore. I'm Everyman. I'm a fat Jew. I'm a licensed New York City cab driver. I'm very proud of that...who can identify with Hugh Hefner, his Viagra and his three bimbos? I rarely have sex. I'm almost Irish Catholic. I get very little, that's why I started the paper - to have sex."

Goldstein says he's been married "over four times" the last girl being an Irish girl. "I hate the Irish," Goldstein said. "I was worried that this was going to end on an awkward note," O'Brien mused. "But you found something we could agree on." O'Brien read an ad in which Goldstein's been solicting female companionship. O'Brien wanted to know why Goldstein found it necessary to mention that he's got four homes in his ad.

"You've got to give quid pro quo," Goldstein said. "Somebody has to get something. I'm a bad lover, I have early bird sex, I nap a lot. I'm not even that interested in sex, so I have to give the woman something, so I give her four homes and coach fares. I live in Holland so I smoke hash and marijuana. I love it. I'm stoned out of my mind. I didn't smoke until two years ago. I'm 63 years-old. I'm going to be drooling in Century Village. Let me be stoned on good hash." [Big crowd applause on that one.]

Gunfight At the OK Bunny Ranch

Heaven Leigh's husband gives an explosive interview later today about the Heaven Leigh - Kendra Jade - Luke Ford flap involving the Bunny Ranch. "He's [Ford} an asshole," says Eric, Heaven Leigh's husband. "He's blown this whole thing out of proportion. He did this to make Kendra go ape shit. Everything's so far off base, no one will ever get to the truth of the matter. This is the way Luke Ford works. He's even sucked me and Heaven in before with his lies."

Rob Black celebrates his birthday today. Congratulations to the Vince McMahon of porn. And, while on the subject of wrestling, it seems now that Big Dick Dudley's in the fold, more folk from the ECW might just be showing up at future XPW events. Tom Byron's also in Brazil this week shooting a new series.

Long Beach Gives Green Light to Adult Performers' Charity Softball Game.

According to the Press Telegram, city-owned Blair Field in Long Beach will be playing host to a large cast of X-rated video and stage performers for a charity softball tournament. While the softballers set to play in "Curve Ball 99" may be known for their hard-core performances, organizers promise the action on the diamond will be strictly G-rated.

"Curve Ball 99" has been given the green light by the Long Beach Parks, Recreation and Marine Department, pending receipt of proof of insurance from the organizers. The city expects to earn $2,000 from the event, including rental of the field for five hours and a small percentage of ticket and souvenir sales.

"Everybody is just going out to have a good time for a good cause," says Rayne, a Westminster-based exotic dancer who is organizing the event. "There won't be anything sexual going on."

"We're treating this like any other group that reserves a field," says parks spokeswoman Jane Grobaty. "They have agreed to adhere to all of our rules, which includes keeping their clothes on."

Before granting their permit, local officials also checked with park personnel in Garden Grove, which hosted "Curve Ball 98." They reported no problems. Grobaty also stressed that no beer will be sold at Blair Field during the event.

"We're all going to be wearing softball uniforms, for sure," says Rayne, who dances topless at Southland clubs. "We're going to have four coed teams. While two of the teams are playing, members of the other teams will be signing autographs for fans."

While organizers vow that the action on the field will be tame, the lineups for "Curve Ball 99," are quite another matter. Advertised softball rosters include such names as Seymore Butts, Stryct-9, Johnny Toxic, Cara Lotte, Holly Body and Cherry Blossom.

Tickets for "Curve Ball 99" are $10 and are available only at adult-oriented businesses. A post-game party, charging a separate fee, will be held at a topless dance club in Long Beach.

Rayne says that proceeds from the event will go to a number of good causes, including a group called Self Awareness of Disabled Americans. She says the group, which has not yet achieved tax-exempt status, hopes to raise disabled adults' self-esteem by offering them free martial arts training.

If you have any questions regarding the event you can contact Rayne at 714-703-4553 or [email protected]

Mike Albo writes about his open drug testing challenge to Luke Ford. Albo's stipulation is, if he passes, he gets to punch Luke in the face.

Albo: "Big surprise. 'Scoop' Luke has 'to think' about my challenge to be drug tested, and then to punch him square in the face if the test is negative. Talk about lacking the courage of one's convictions! I suppose his waffling is due to the fact that he KNOWS what he's been writing about me is not true. Anyway, Larry Flynt, Jr., and I are planning to take Luke out to lunch next week, and we hope to straighten a few things out with the boy. You'll be the first to know what happens, although given Luke's obvious cowardice, I'm pretty sure he'll back out at the last minute like the little pussy he has clearly shown himself to be.

Gene sez: "My money's on Luke accepting the lunch engagement, providing your paying."

Rodney Moore quotes Villiany on RAME, then adds his comments: "Villiany wrote: 'Just rented this tape...first of the Rodney Moore tapes I've watched. I got it because Lauryl Canyon was on the cover and I wanted to see if she was as hot as she used to be. Well let me say this...If Lauryl Canyon ever decides to do a couple of weeks at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch...I'm cashing in my 401K and heading over.

'She isn't the 18 year old California Bunny type. (She used to be) But I've never seen a woman wolf down cock and love it the way she does. Her sex scenes are volcanic. She is a shoe-in for the Actress of the Year award...if that process isn't rigged.

Rodney responds: "I agree her performance in that tape (Creme de la Face 32 - Over 500 Served) was outstanding and award worthy. But get this, the guy who reviewed the tape for the AVN actually took points away from the overall review for the Lauryl Canyon scene. He thought it was too long! He didn't even mention her acting performance (anyone who has seen the scene knows what we're talking about).

"I suggest Emailing AVN or Gene Ross ([email protected]) and voicing your opinion. I did. Not that it will do any good. There's no degradation scenes in the movie, no heads being dunked in toilets, no one is called a worthless slut, no blood and gore, no violence, just hot sex, humor and creativity, so they probably won't consider it awards-worthy. Rodney Moore http://www.rodneymoore.com"

Gene sez: "I saw the scene and agree. Canyon deserves to be considered for the Best Acting award. If the process is rigged, then I'm the one rigging it because I keep track of all the nominations-worthy performances."

James Fortune, who was interviewed on this site several weeks ago writes: "Cumisha Amado threw a surprise party for me this past weekend and invited a bunch of swingers for a wild orgy. Three girls including Cumisha and a hot French actress for the Playboy Channel threw me into a room, and brought in my birthday cake and spread it all over their bodies. I got to eat in style, licking icing off their breasts and pussies. This was followed by me fucking and sucking four of the girls and introducing two cute little Asians to the "Swinging" experience.

"Cumisha is the most incredible hostess...I wished I could have filmed the thing..it was my best birthday ever.. . .In gratitude, I would like to save my first anal fuck for her, to be followed by Butts babe Klass (who I had originally targeted). As a true Leo, I enjoy orgies with lots of women and will showcase that in my films...I think I need to make this a periodic event...be sure to look for the "The Fortune Orgy Party" series to start next year!

"WHAT'S NEW: Also on the drawing boards for future rollout - 'Celebrity Sex Match' (copyright pending) where we will have sexual competitions between sex stars with the lucky recipients being selected fans and/or other adult star invitees. For example, I have always wanted to work with Felecia, but she only does g/g. So, since we both love women, I have invited her to join me in a "Pussy Eating Contest" match where she picks 5-10 girls from our fan base. The objective: Which one of us can get the most girls to cum the most with our oral talents - I'm getting tired of women always saying only girls can eat pussy properly and would like to try and lay that misconception to rest. In line with the Firestorm philosophy - all participants will require not only an HIV test but relevant tests related to other common STDs as well - so we can fuck and suck with less risk. A percentage of our profits will be donated to AIM.

"I read your comments related to the South incident and my foray into the industry. I think you need to add the fact that I sincerely was sorry for giving the appearance of being an asshole and pissing him, Junior and anyone else off, and sent an email apology which did not appear to be accepted. I am thankful for his time and consideration ....For the record, my communications related to [Chenin] Blanc and [Katie] Gold were based on their invitation to have me contact them while at last year's AVN convention as well as a referal made by one of their friends. I perceive that Junior felt I was hitting on Gold (despite her initial intoxicated advances and invitation to contact her via Junior) and Gold was dating one of his best friends.

"I did not know Chennin was represented by South when I contacted her - so I think they were paranoid and thought I was trying to get her without using them as the agent. Anyway, a mountain was made out of a molehill, and all I can do is make peace publically and sincerely apologize, and if they want to continue to harbor bad thoughts over such a stupid trivial thing and can't accept an apology, that will just result in loss of money from their pockets as I will be forced to pay someone else for bookings.

"Fans can submit story ideas and "Celebrity Sex Match" face-off candidates to me at [email protected]. Female fans who want to be laid by me or any other male porn stars on film can submit their requests, as well. They should e-mail a recent photo with measurements, age, contact info. and express their sexual interests/fantasies."

Phoenix writes: "Hi Gene! I was up the other night watching some late night T.V., and as I was surfing the channels I stopped on "Love Connection." Low and behold, one of the contestants was porn's dirtiest girl, Mila! I couldn't believe my eyes. Her name was Mila, but it said her occupation was an "office manager." Unfortunately, the responses on her video were too tame and she didn't get chosen. Have you heard any other info about this? Thanks again. Great column."

Gene sez: "Heard about it? I wrote about it, including an interview with Mila several months ago. You saw the rerun. While I didn't see the show, Mila, I'm sure, was way more entertaining with her after-the-fact comments."

Despite Robin Leach's Nude Antics, Delmonico Keeps License

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal Robin Leach's antics at a Venetian Hotel & Casino restaurant have brought a stern reprimand to the eatery.

Stars such as Oscar winner Robert De Niro attended Tuesday's session of the Clark County Commission, for the licensing of the Hard Rock's Nobu Japanese restaurant, an upscale eatery in which De Niro is a partner. But it was celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse, a host of his own TV cooking show whose Delmonico Steakhouse at The Venetian was reprimanded by county commissioners for permitting a nude night of Memorial Day partying by Robin Leach and female companions.

Lagasse repeatedly apologized to commissioners, who could have suspended or yanked his liquor license. "In a nutshell, it happened, and I take responsibility. I'm sorry," Lagasse said. "I have never ever seen or had anything happen with such unexpected behavior. We have zero tolerance for this behavior. We always have, and we always will."

By a 5-0 vote, commissioners serving as the Clark County Liquor and Gaming Licensing Board issued an administrative reprimand, which essentially places Lagasse's restaurant on probation for 12 months. Commissioner Bruce Woodbury did not vote, saying a partner in his law practice represents The Venetian.

A six-week county investigation by the Clark County Business License Department found that Delmonico managers participated in the partying, as Leach's five female companions exposed themselves. The episode violated a county ordinance forbidding nudity at businesses with liquor licenses.

The inquiry began after an employee complained to organizers of Culinary Local 226, which, according to the Las Vegas paper, is engaged in a contentious battle with Venetian executives to organize the 3-month-old megaresort. Union organizers referred the worker to county investigators.

"Some of the females physically touched each others' breasts," according to the county report. "While this activity was ongoing several employees, including restaurant management staff, applauded and vocally encouraged continuation of the activity."

Investigators said Leach snapped several photos of the scene, which took place in a glass-enclosed room that was fully visible through a window to kitchen workers and partially visible to customers. Venetian boss Sheldon Adelson was eating with his wife, Miriam, in a room at the opposite end of Delmonico, but was unaware of what was happening after Leach's 8:30 p.m. arrival, according to the report.

Investigators found that four Delmonico managers helped spread whipped cream on the women in Leach's group, at least one of whom climbed naked atop a dining-room table for eight.

"Although several management employees stated that they believed the situation had 'gotten out of hand,' no direct effort to stop the activity was made until restaurant property was thought be in jeopardy," according to the report.

Managers supposedly asked Leach and his companions to leave between 11 and 11:30 p.m. The former host of the "Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous" TV show did not attend Tuesday's hearing. A Leach spokesman said his client was traveling outside of the United States and was unaware of the meeting, but county commissioners criticized the 57-year-old for not attending.

"It would seem at the very least," commissioner Mary Kincaid said, "he would be here to make a public apology." Leach, who was working as a restaurant consultant to The Venetian, was suspended by the megaresort's management shortly after the incident came to light.

According to the terms of the reprimand: --If a similar incident occurs again and Delmonico executives fail to take action, the county Business License Department immediately will refer the case to the Clark County district attorney's office. --The restaurant must also implement a crisis-management program for employees

As he left Tuesday's hearing, Lagasse, said he was relieved the situation was resolved without the loss of his liquor license. Tuesday's action does not affect The Venetian, which leases space to Delmonico, or Lagasse's other Las Vegas restaurant, Emeril's New Orleans Fish House at the MGM Grand.

"I just want to get on to running a great restaurant," Lagasse said. "Of course, it's very embarrassing."

Hookers Cop a Feel

According to the Florida Sun-Sentinel, three DeLand, Florida police officers are being investigated for videotaping and audio taping their sexual encounters with alleged prostitutes during a sting operation.

Acting Police Cmdr. Paul Proctor said the officers, all of whom remained on active duty on Tuesday, might have gone too far.

"I knew an investigation was taking place. I didn't know what tactics were being employed," said Proctor, who oversees the division the officers work in. "On behalf of the officers, they think what they did was proper."

Officials said Sgt. Dennis McGuire and officers Bruce Dolphin and Gary Batten were touched by women during the prostitution stings the officers conducted in a DeLand hotel in June. Officer Richard Rockburn and Assistant State Attorney Robert Bodnar watched the operation, police said.

On four occasions in June, the officers removed their clothes or exposed their genitals to the women in a hotel room and allowed the women to touch them, according to the officers' own reports about the sting. Proctor said he is investigating their actions to determine whether any departmental procedures were violated.

The Police Department has suspended its prostitution operations until a written policy is created for such stings, Proctor said. State Attorney John Tanner said he didn't know of Bodnar's involvement in the operation until Friday. He said he would question Bodnar to find out why he was with the officers during the sting.

Oh Boy, Tolstoy; Strip Class Offered at Mt. Holyoke by Russian Literature Expert

Students at one of the nation's oldest women's colleges are getting lessons in the valuable art of stripping from a Russian literature lecturer.

According to the AP, Susan Scotto, who stripped in clubs while getting her doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley, said exotic dancing is an art form that pleases the dancer and the viewer. Her noncredit how-to class in striptease at Mount Holyoke College [South Hadley, Massachusetts] was so popular last year that she plans to offer it again this September.

Ms. Scotto shows students clips from movies featuring strippers, teaches them some basic bump-and-grind moves and supplies them with props, including feather boas, scarves, fans and high heels.

``I don't see any way how an exchange of pleasure is something to be condemned,'' she told the Union-News in Springfield. "Someone in any form of work can feel exploited. It's all a state of mind."

College President Joanne Creighton pointed out Wednesday that although the class was held in a campus dance studio, the course is not part of the college curriculum, "nor does Professor Scotto receive any pay for this noncredit class."

Professors often offer outside classes and lectures, and Ms. Scotto's attracted little attention, said Sally Sutherland, associate dean of faculty. Ms. Sutherland said the class does not run counter to the 162-year-old college's feminist traditions.

"Where else but a women's college could provide a safe and secure place to explore the boundaries of an art form that slides over into pornography and exploitation?" she said.

Charlese L'Amour Talks About Charlie Sheen

Charlese L'Amour is trying to forget Charlie Sheen. Make that Charles. That's how Charlese refers to him. As of the past two days, L'Amour's become the celebrity du jour of Los Angeles, courtesy of her gate climbing escapades at Chalie Sheen's Malibu home last Monday night, July 26th.

L'Amour: "I got reamed by my lawyers today because I told him I talked to you. I also talked to KROQ this morning. They called for an interview. My lawyers didn't want me to speak to them because it wasn't lawyer-controlled. I tried to evade the issues [on KROQ], but it's difficult because it's been on every news channel. The information is out there. I didn't say anything that already hasn't been said.

"They're trying to say that I was stalking Charlie when I have phone records from Charlie's house for the last five years. Everybody calls him Charlie. I look at him as Charles, my good friend of five years. I figured I was going to hop the gate, knock on the door and have them open the gate to have my friend come in. That's how I look at it. Everybody is going to look at this as two porn stars going to Charlie Sheen's house, hopping the gate. But that's not how it was at all. Charlie called me that day [last Monday]. He talked to Teri but thought he was talking to me. We sound alike on the phone. He said he was calling to send me his love, that he had just got back from Canada. He's always told me to come up to his house. I didn't want to intrude, but that night I had been drinking and really needed his help. I had no idea that all this was going to happen.

"I knew Charlie when he beat up Brittany [Ashland]. I was on his side. I've defended him for five years. When he was going through his divorce with Donna, I used to hide at the bottom of the car when cars drove by so we wouldn't get caught together. It was never about the publicity. I said on the radio [the KROQ interview] I'm your friend, Charles, all you have to do, is call me, apologize, reprimand your assistant, fire him, suspend him, pay for the damages and let's move on.

"Now, at this rate, he [Sheen] looks like the asshole. I just want him to accept the fact I got the hell beat out of me. I can't work at all. I spent $5,000 on my nose. I'm screwed. That's my work! Boxcovers are an important thing in this business. I'm not saying my nose is really jacked up. He [Zippy Hunt, Sheen's bodyguard] broke it, but I got very lucky. It's only a little bit crooked right now, and I can have it reset. But my deviated septum is back and I can't breathe. I'm kind of fortunate that it wasn't worse."

G. Ross: "Why did you file the lawsuit for such a small amount?"

L'Amour: "I'm filing for more than that [the reported $50,000]. The one thing is that I'm missing a lot of work. Every single one of the cuts on my leg got infected. I have them from head to toe. All I was wearing was little shorts and a tank top. I'm in agony right now. I have to take a shower three times a day and pour hydrogen peroxide on my cuts and scrub them with iodine. Then I have a prescription I need to pick up, but since I'm not working, I'm really screwed."

L'Amour says she drives but doesn't have a car, that's why she took a cab to Sheen's house. "My car's in ths shop, plus I was drinking that night," she says. "That's one of the main reasons that I was going over there. I wanted to talk to Charlie about going to rehab to get sober. Right now I've been sober since the incident. I'm not going to lie. I'll admit I was drunk that night, that's part of the reason why I jumped over the fence. That's not the first time I jumped over his fence. Everybody's making it like it was trespassing. I was drunk, I hopped the gate, I fucked up. Think about it, if you were going to your best friend's house and needed help, wouldn't you hop the gate?

L'Amour: "I mean how can you deny the incident [L'Amour and Starr allegedly getting beat up] when there's a cab driver on the premises who's made a call to their destination and he gets beat up? He got his license ripped for no reason. I was trying to run away, and he [Hunt] was kicking us down the hill. I don't know what was wrong with him.

[Hunt's official statement was that he had asked L'Amour and Starr to leave and that they got belligerent and violent and wouldn't go away.]

"We have testimony to this - I asked him if Charles was upstairs. He told me to get the fuck out and he punched me. I got the shit beat out of me. Teri came up running, saying, 'Leave my wife alone!' We were trying to get away from him when he attacked the cab driver.

"On the restraining order they've tried to play me off as a stalker. I have phone threats. They called my number and you can hear four people in the background saying how they're going to take us out with guns, two shots to the chest. You can hear the voices with music playing, 'I will survive.' There's distinct words in there like, 'We're going to pull the trigger.' I have these phone messages recorded after a restraining order was filed.

"Then he [Hunt] pulled a gun on Teri. There's witnesses to that. They're saying they have witnesses to attest to Zippy's whereabouts the evening he pulled the gun. But we have a Navy SEAL across the street who went after him afterwards. We have witnesses after witnesses.

"When I met Charles he was divorcing Donna. I did not like Charlie Sheen, I didn't want to date Charlie Sheen. I wanted nothing to do with him. He said his real name was Carlos and that he changed it to Charlie when he got into acting. I told him I liked to call him Charles. It seemed to suit him because he's very eloquent. When I saw that he signed his named Charles on the restraining order, I got sick. I used to date that piece of crap."

L'Amour says she's been in the adult business about a year and a half.

L'Amour: "I was married to Rick Masters. We're separated now. After I got married to him, it really affected my career. Before that I was working for Vivid and Wicked and had contract opportunities. When I married Rick it was like I had to deal with a whole another side of the industry. I ended up stopping for awhile. It's kind of hard to be married and work. When Rick and I separated, I got back in the business.

"I was managing a tanning salon when I met Charlie. People are making me out to be, 'Was she an escort?' I've never accepted a dollar from Charles. He offered me money because he didn't know why I was getting into the porn business. He said, do I need help. I wouldn't take his money. When I saw him two months ago, he didn't remember a lot about our relationship because he was so messed up. He asked me things like where did we go on our first date. He said what he does remember is that he offered me money, and I never took it and that I was protective of him and that he cares about me a lot.

"He went to an Angel game, and I was brought into this niteclub in Newport Beach to meet a few people. Charlie came in after the game. I didn't know it was him. I had seen him from across the room and fallen in love not knowing that it was even him. I shook his hand. He invited me to sit down. I didn't want anything to do with him. He took a hundred dollar bill, ripped it in half and gave a phone number on it. I was thinking what an idiot to rip up a hundred dollar bill.

"The next night, Charlie's bodyguard at the time called leaving a message that Charlie wanted to see me. I was not into it. I thought he was a jerk. I did go out with him. I had dinner with him. He was such a gentleman, I was in awe of him. I completely forget about the fact of who I was with. He's a beautiful person. I can't understand why he's denying all these allegations. I'm frustrated and hurt. The last couple of interviews I've done, I've broken down into major tears. I feel bad. Now I'm turning away from him."

L'Amour claims she had a heart attack about two months ago. "Teri's afraid that because I'm getting all worked up, that I'm going to have another attack," L'Amour says. "I'm fine. I'm losing my best friend that I've loved for five years. He's turning his back on me."

L'Amour says she's particularly disturbed that the media has been giving out her and Starr's real names. "You know how dangerous that it is? I've already had five crank calls today. I don't know what they were thinking. There's a reason why we have fake names."

Even though wrestler Kristian Blood took a high-flying 30-foot leap onto the prostrate body of fellow wrestler, Supreme, at the Reseda Country Club Saturday night, XPW's first casualty of its young life might be
