Regan Senter beautifulmodels.com called to say that his issue with Free Speech is the fact that he applied as talent and was rejected, whereas others at the time were accepted into the fold as talent but had producer credentials which would have put them in a higher payment classification. "I signed up as talent," Senter says. "They rejected my membership saying I earned my primary money not as talent but what they called, 'agent'. I accepted it and walked away. Other producers who are rolling in the business who are members of Free Speech were signed up as talent. There are many people in Free Speech who are producers/talent and are signed up for $50. But I have nothing against Free Speech."
Senter says the $50 refund issue doesn't matter and he never took it further. Senter says Bill Margold offered him a payment plan for the agent's fee but he rejected that.
Director Jim DiGiorgio has some comments about the making of The Sopranos takeoff, The Sopornos for VCA. As in the HBO series, the main bits have Rob Spallone playing off Wendy from VCA who plays the psychiatrist.
DiGiorgio: "It didn't start out to be an epic. I shot a lot of 3-camera stuff. I have about 13 hours of footage [probably more since we spoke to him]. It's going to end up a less-than-two-hour movie. It'll make the editing way more intensive because you have some much coverage and so much stuff to choose from. We had an outline for everything. We knew what every scene was going to be. But we had the talent improvise the dialogue, which I love doing. I've done that in almost all my features. Because I think that a lot of people just really aren't actors, as it were, so when you give them scripted dialogue it comes off sounding very mechanical. I have a lot of theater and comedy background. In improv classes they key you learn is being uninhibited. If there's one thing people in this business are it's uninhibited. I think they do very well with improv and the dialogue sounds very believable. Of course sometimes it goes places you don't want it to go. Then you've either got to say it was so good, I'm going to have to make the story work because I don't want to lose that; or you have to lose it saying it won't work with the story. I hate to say something's going to be good because then you've made a lot of proclamations. [Word on the inside is that Rob Spallone and Herschel Savage as mob guys worked incredibly well together.]
"When we shot the casino scene we had three hand helds going on the floor and one camera on an 18-foot jib. We also shot in a cemetery for the titling sequence. And we had a great fight sequence. I'm looking at the footagee where Rob Spallone beats the crap out of Julian's driver, and it is so realistic. It's funny how we got into it. He [Spallone] is having a conversation with Julian in a limo. Wayne Crews the driver kind of snickers then Rob does the Joe Pesce you think I'm funny, I'm a clown-bit then beats the fuck out of him. It's really convincing, especially when we add some Foley to it. We're planning Sopornos 2, but I don't know if Russ [Hampshire] is... Julian said we should shoot Part 3 in Italy like The Godfather."
John T. Bone is looking for a second-hand tank. "If anyone's got one laying around, I'll pay cash but it needs to be in full-working order," Bone said. Bone was aware of Kid Vegas' meeting with Legend this past Monday on that very issue. "I've respected Jeff for many years, and I think it's sad that he would draw a line in the sand. It's only a tank. I think Kid Vegas will garner more respect when he has his own tank."
Legend may not have come through with a tank but Vegas is reasonably assured he can get one through Bone.
Vegas: "He [Bone] has some friends over at Universal and they have some friends who work with army vehicles. Hopefully I'll get the tank, maybe it will be here this Saturday."
Vegas was asked what girls are going to be in his new shoot which is allegedly a movie-within-a-movie and a Star Wars parody to boot.
Vegas: "I can't really open my mouth right now. I'm having some problems with Jim South. I guess he doesn't like the way I operate my business, and I guess he doesn't like Cream the distributors I'm putting my movies through. I can't really discuss the girls because they maybe some of his girls. If he doesn't want to let me use his girls or pay for his talent anymore, then I'll just go around him and use his girls and pay the girls - his money plus the $65 fee. I think it would be wise of him to allow me to continue to use his girls so he can continue to receive his fee. But I don't think he wants to receive his fee anymore. I don't know what his problem is. If he's going to talk shit about me, then that's fine.
"This Saturday is going to be a little more organized than last week [when Vegas began the shoot]. Last time was a little wild. Everybody was on drugs. Everybody was drinking from 9 in the morning on. We went through two cases of beer by three in the afternoon. My production managers were like totally wasted on drugs. They couldn't keep anybody in line. They were letting people bother me. People were calling me and paging me, we couldn't get anything done. We'll still be on drugs but everything will be a bit more organized this time.
G. Ross: "What is this story between you and Royal Shaft?"
Vegas: "He's just a dumb queer that has to take Viagra to keep his dick up. He's a nobody. He shoots for amateur companies. No professional companies really want to hire him because they don't want to get bad-mouthed. He's a fat piece of shit. He's about 6' 2" with a goatee and mustache. He's from Vegas. He came here with his wife and his wife dumped him after she got bukkake'd on. I guess the bukkake took her out of the business and to another guy.
G.Ross: "Once a woman's been bukkake'd..."
Vegas: "She's kind of screwed up in the head. Once the whole village cums on her I guess no man's good enough for her. Her name was Mikala Shore. He gave her up to the village now he lost her forever. He lost his long love. If I was married I don't think I'd let my wife get bukkake'd on.
G. Ross: "That's pretty wise advice."
Vegas: "It kind of ruins a marriage when you have that many men cum in your face."
G. Ross: "Women's magazine don't tell you how to deal with that situation."
Vegas: "I don't Cosmopolitan tells you how to deal with anxiety and depression after being bukkake'd on....Bukkake Stress Disorder...you have to take more drugs to think about that one....BSD
G. Ross: "Any new word on baby Vegas?" [Vegas suspects Allsion Kilgore might be carrying his love child.]
Vegas: "I haven't heard anything on it. It's too early to do a DNA. It's kind of dangerous, I guess. But she hasn't let me know what's happening with that."
G. Ross: "I've got a suspicion it's sitting in a womb wearing sunglasses."
Vegas: "And maybe hitting a pipe or something..she might be having second thoughts about having a baby Vegas."
G. Ross: "You and Bone belong together. You're both two sick fucks."
Vegas: "He's a good guy. I just gotta make sure that the tank's in my name."

Dark Side Entertainment's Nikki Starks is The Bomb. At least that's the name of his new series which is coming out.
Starks: "The Bomb is always going to be multiple scenes. This one is eight scenes plus a bonus scene - nine girls with threeways, blowjobs, multiples, facials. Everyone really liked my Just Don't Bite it series from Elegant Angel. It was all blowjobs, but everytime I did one of those I would accidentally throw in a sex scene. I got a lot of requests from people to tell me to mix it up and give more sex. The Bomb is just that. It's a mix of Just Don't Bite It with blowjobs and sex. It'll be about 8 to 10 scenes per movie with a mix of five blowjobs and four sex scenes per video. I got all new girls all the time. The main focus in the first Bomb is a girl named Desiree. She's brand new and has only done scenes with her boyfriend. She has natural tits, legs beyond belief and she's beautiful. She's probably going to be in Sugar 3, too. I'm trying to come up with a variety of lines then use the good girls in the whole variety.
"I tell a girl when she shows up this is a blowjob scene. I'll pay this amount. But a lot of times if things get hot and a girl decides to have sex, and we decide to take it there, I'm covered on that. I'll give them a certain amount for more. The scenes will just happen. It works out kind of interesting that way."
Starks is also doing a series called Freaks of the Industry. "It's developing as I go," he says, "but it ended up being a mix of amateurs and known girls in the black market. It's just real good gonzo. I won't compare it to Cumback Pussy, but Tom Byron and I used to sit down and talk about trying this and that. With Freaks I think I've taken it there and started mixing it up with multiple scenes with some of the best black girls I can find. It has a real hip-hop feel to it."
Rodger Jacobs' interview with Luke Ford comes out in the August issue of Panik. "It will prove to be more revealing than anything ever written about everyone's favorite Internet scribe," Jacobs writes.
Luke Ford writes: "I work hard. I try to uplift people. I try to be constructive rather than destructive. I try to create family entertainment. Something where a man and his wife, and the kids, can all jump in a car and drive to Kinkos... Click on my website. And enjoy some wholesome uplifting stories about the triumph of good and the defeat of evil... And I get people like John Bone and Mike Albo picking on me. A prophet has no honor in his own community.
Gene sez: "Luke, have you ever tried getting in touch with your inner child?"
Hans Rudelstein writes: "Thank you for posting my reaction to Robin Powers' false statements, accusations and allegations. I'll keep you posted on further developments Best regards, Hans
Leo Komendera from the Lansing, Michigan Deja Vu adds this to the brewing Jenna Jameson "no show" controversy that began with a posting by "Trace G" on 6/17 and followed with replies from Wicked Pictures' Steve Orenstein and Joy King along with Tony from the Lee Network. Jameson herself has yet to respond.
Komendera: "Are pornstars untouchable? Do they deserve special allowances that other hard working individuals do not receive? You may wonder what on earth I'm talking about. Let me explain. I'm from the Lansing, Michigan Deja Vu. For over two months we have anticipated the arrival of Jenna Jameson and Nikki Tyler.
"They were due to feature June 7th through 12th at our club. Needless to say, these two women are a hot item. For months we promoted the duo, placed thousands of dollars in advertising, and had the local radio stations doing special shows to promote them. Hotel rooms were reserved and paid for, rides were arranged, and certain employees were scheduled to help the ladies with anything they needed. But, on Monday the [June] 7th, Jenna and Nikki missed their plane. They would not be in until Tuesday. Obviously the Monday show would have to be canceled. O.K., things happen and situations occur that we can not always control. We canceled the show and let our guests know that "Hell on Heels" [Nikki and Jenna] would be performing the following Tuesday. As planned, Nikki and Jenna arrived early on Tuesday morning and were dropped off at their hotel. Their first show time was to be 9pm, eleven hours after their arrival.
"At 7:30pm, we received a call from Jenna and Nikki's road manager explaining to us that the ladies would not be making their shows that evening. We were informed that the duo was simply too exhausted. Too exhaused?! Too exhausted to perform two shows - each lasting a total of twenty minutes! Too tired? Give me a break! Do they really call themselves professionals?
"Mind you, by now we had a full house of patrons who paid top dollar [at least in Lansing, Michigan] to see these two women. I cannot imagine where this kind of behavior would be acceptable. Can you? Do they think they're so important that they can simply walk out on a commitment.
"Think about it, would The Rolling Stones miss a gig because they only had eleven hours of sleep? Would Drew Carey miss an on stage performance because he's "extremely sleepy"? Would the wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin miss a performance in the ring because he didn't feel he had adequate sleep? I doubt it!!
"Overall, these two women make the entire adult business look like a laughing stock. As an industry, we must not put up with such behavior. It is time we make these people accountable for their actions."
Unaware of the Komendera missive, Joy King at Wicked Pictures said she had talked to Jameson yesterday, and Jenna gave comments for King to relay. Jameson said she didn't want to start stirring up the pot by getting personally involved. According to Jameson, she and Tyler arrived at the Radison hotel 9am that Tuesday morning after a red eye flight and a 4-hour layover from Sacramento. They had to wait in the lobby until their room was ready which wasn't until 4 in the afternoon. Also, according to Jameson, she was pretty much told by Deja Vu to pack her bags and hit the road when she tried to explain the situation.
Porn performer Steve Hatcher has this to say about his new site, webmagazine.com
Hatcher: "It's a simple on-line magazine. I run a couple of reviews each month for pornos, regular movies, record releases, other web sites. They're very mild reviews. We also have voyeurcams and pictorials. Lil Sinderella who I've been dating for three years got hooked up with a website. I got interested in it. I wanted to do it but I wanted to have a different angle than everything else that's out there. I decided to give a little bit of insight on how it was being a guy in this business for eight years, straight shooting from the hip. I work with a place called Bad Dog, they run a bunch of different websites and they provide me with endless content and endless server space. I'm trying to make a buck. I'm getting old for this [performing] and the future is on-line.
Goofy Obscenity Case of the Day
A Georgia mom went yeah, baby-shit over what was coming out of the mouth of her son's new Austin Powers doll. Atlanta-area mom, Tamatha Brannon, claims she wasn't ready to have a sex talk with her 11-year-old son, Marvin, when he asked her last week what "horny" means.
Marvin apparently got the word from an underwear-clad doll, depicting Austin Powers, which asks, "Do I make you horny, baby? Do I?" a line from the latest flick, "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me."
Brannon filed an obscenity complaint against the Toys R Us chain after her son got the message from a doll at the Morrow, Ga., toy store.
"I'm appalled," she said. "I'm sick. I want Toys R Us to take every one of those disgusting dolls off their shelves so no parent ever has to go through what I've just gone through." Brannon was so incensed that she bought a doll and took it to Clayton County police. Police said the doll didn't violate obscenity laws.
The Morrow store has agreed to discontinue carrying the dolls. Brannon said she called other area stores and asked them to remove the figures, which portray Powers wearing only glasses, socks and bushy chest hair.
Brannon said she complained to police that the toy is obscene and directs sexual innuendoes at children. She said her son "is in no way ready for any sex conversations."
"I feel this toy had basically pushed us into a vocabulary word that he would never have known to ask," Brannon added.
A Toys R Us company spokesman said the retailer believed the Morrow store was stocking a "parental guidance" version that instead asks "Would you fancy a shag?"
The Georgia furor brought a statement from Todd McFarlane [the guy who bought all those Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa homerun balls], president and CEO of the Tempe, Arizona-based Todd McFarlane Productions and McFarlane Toys. They're makers of the dolls. McFarlane blamed "human error" for the wrong version of the doll getting to Toys R Us. McFarlane is also creator of Spawn comics.
"The toy in question, Austin 'Danger' Powers Ultra-'Cool' Action Figure, was a product that was supposed to ship to specialty retailers," McFarlane said, "not those selling to the mass market, such as Toys R Us.
"Most of the Austin Powers action figures. . .had variant sound chips designed for different markets. That this figure with the sound chip 'Do I make you horny Baby, Do I?'. . .was shipped to the store in Atlanta is nothing more than an isolated event of human error."
Two versions of the doll were manufactured, a tamer version for mass market stores like Toys R' Us and Kmart, and a more adult one for specialty retailers such as gift stores.
The dolls are made in China and distributed at a facility in the United States. A spokesman for McFarlane's company was stunned by the amount of media attention given the shipping blunder.
He said that the movie is "full of sexual innuendo" and that anything on the voice chips is taken straight from it. The movie has grossed $116.1 million in two weeks, and the action figures are doing brisk business as well.
Leg lovers take note. Some supervisors at the Illinois Department of Human Rights have a new duty - checking out the legs of female staffers, to make sure the women are wearing hosiery. The leg task force is part of the enforcement of a new dress code that requires women employees to wear pantyhose or nylons to work. A spokesman for the department confirmed the pantyhose rules, insisting it was an effort to ensure that employees present "a clean and neat appearance to the public." Disgruntled employees [presumably men] are crying sexual harassment.
Despite protestations of innocence from his wife, it looks like Georgia pastor Danny Bruce Moody, whose story was posted on this site a couple of days ago, is going to get the vidcam, er, book, thrown at him. Moody, 52, may be hit with Peeping Tom charges, authorities say, for videotaping under the dress of an 18-year-old woman at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport.
Moody faces the felony charges after a witness told police that a suspect was videotaping an 18-year-old woman in one of the airport's concourses. Police say they later found images of other women on the tape.
"Peeping Tom is an actual charge in the state of Georgia. That's what he was originally charged with. I don't know if that will be the standing charge after we review all the facts of the case," Mike Smith, an investigator with the Atlanta district attorney's office said. "I don't have all the facts available."
A police report says says Moody aimed his video recorder beneath the skirts of women while riding escalators.
According to the report, a witness saw Moody ascending an escalator with his camera pointed under an 18-year-old woman's dress. He had tried to cover the device with a baseball cap.
When asked what he was doing, Moody replied "that he was doing nothing and pulled the tape from the camcorder," the police report says. The witness argued with Moody and talked to the 18-year-old's mother. The mother demanded the videotape.
When police viewed the tape, they saw that Moody had been filming at the airport for several hours and that he had videotaped other women.
A court date has not been set for Moody, Smith said. today. Moody was released on $5,000 bond on the day of his arrest.
But the big question remains, how long will it be before the Moody tapes show up on the IEG clublove.com website?
