Why do people — this is not limited to porn chicks — write incredibly long and mostly unintelligible e-mails that end with the phrase: I’m not stupid.

My first editor once said to me: If you really want to get a guy, just quote him accurately and let him speak for himself.

That seems to be what you’ve done with Ms. Moon.

Former Porn King Arrested As Penniless Shoplifter

* Al Goldstein Was The Publisher Of Screw Magazine

Nov 29, 2004 8:32 am US/Eastern
NEW YORK (AP) Former porn king - Al Goldstein - has been arrested allegedly for shoplifting three books from a Barnes and Noble book store.

Goldstein is the ex-publisher of Screw Magazine. He was stopped by security at the Barnes and Noble store near Lincoln Center yesterday with three books on health.

New York City Police were called and he was charged with petty larceny.

Goldstein has been on a downward spiral since his publishing company went bankrupt. He has been living at the Bellevue homeless shelter.

My how the mighty have fallen…..

I’m Going to Montana Soon:

But not to be a dental floss tycoon….and if you understand that, God bless ya, yer prolly as old as I am.

But me and Felicia Fox will be hosting a “Girls Gone Wild Weekend” at Club Big House in Great Falls, Montana. If yer in the area, come see us Fri and Sat night!

Alexander May Have Been Great But The Movie Sucked:

Went to see “Alexander The Great” with Lisa this w/e. God what a horrid movie, and proof Oliver Stone never met a conspiracy he didn’t like.

Tara Moon Responds:

Hi Mike and Luke:
I want to make a response to what you have posted in your sites:

First of all I do come to dance in Vegas every week or every other week.

Second of all: I was at the hospital and I am suing them because I had a problem there - I was in for three days< a big difference from six weeks. Another thing: I was not seven and a half months pregnant: Don’t you think I would know that?

If someone has it for me: WHY DON’T THEY MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS AND FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE POSTING IT IN ANY SITE? I have not burt anyone and pretty much trying to build my name on my own because as you two know I had someone try to destroy my name before: Chante is dead and is not coming back Tara Moon is here and it will be here and my personal life is of nobody’s business but my own: I am responding to this adds that were posted because it is unfair that aomeone will say something about someone before knowing the truth and coming from you Mike? That is the worst thing about it: One of the people I like the most in the industry. At this time I do not have a computer because mine got stolen a couple of weeks ago so I am using the clubs computer you may reach me at my cell xxxxxxxxxx and PLEASE be kind enough not to post it as it is my personal number and I would prefer it is not known by everyone in the world!!!

I would appreciate it if you got this cleared up as soon as possible as I am or was never seven and a half months pregnant and it is of nobody’s business if I got a transfussion or not, but if you most know I was in there for 3 days for personal problems - I did lose a lot of blood due to my period and had to get an infusion not a transfusion - other than that it is of no-one’s business what happened - but the pregnancy thing: I am not stupid not to know if I was that far along, I have 2 kids and I know how it feels to be pregnant and it is not in my near future plans except to save money and try to get my name out there in a good way not with gossip that is not true and people make up because they feel like it. Any questions, call me and I do expect an apology in both your sites for the wrong postings because quite honestly it is embarrassing what you have wrote and even if it was true it is a personal thing not of anyone’s business.
This is the only e-mail address I have access to in the next week or so until I get my laptop replaced, so you may e-mail me back if you want to - and I will warn you one time only: If this mess is not cleared up by tuesday I will proceed further - I am being nice this time but trust me: I will not be nice if the apology and the truth is not there because I am not going to let anyone get in my way this time.
Mike you know me for a long time and I am not this way, but in this case I have no other option but to write you first and be nice and then go forward withit if nothing is done about it because I do not need my reputation to go bad again - I am not 18 anymore and I have become quite stronger and when it comes to feeding my kids I am not going to let anyone get on my way and I hope you understand that.
Thank you
Tara Moon
PS: Please do not refer to me as Chante as that name is no longer alive and thanks to you is almost coming back and I do not want it related to Tara Moon. Any of this goes on the site I do know enough people that I will do something about it. Thank you and sorry, but I found it out from a friend and it is very disturbing that you make me sound like I am stupid or something: BUT do not test me now - because I am MAD- REALLY MAD AT THOSE COMMENTS.

Well Ms Moon, for what it’s worth that’s the story I got, The conversation wasn’t with me obviously but I’m glad you cleared it all up and I’m glad you are apparently all well now.

She claims ex hubby Jessie James (West Coast Choppers) is a “Deadbeat Dad” and could care less about his daughter Sunny. Janine is asking for 15,000 a month in child support.

15,000.00 a month for ONE kid? Does the little Sunny have a 500 dollar a day crack habit?

That’s fucking ridiculous.

Now to all you guys who say you never pay for pussy…ya right…even Jessie James pays…and pays handsomely.

This came to me second hand

xxx: madness - lol
xxx: she’s dancing in Vegas, flying back & forth every week or so
xxx: was 7 months pregnant & didn’t know it
zzz: whoa
zzz: she okay?
xxx: went to the hospital & got mixed up with another patient with the same name
xxx: as a result, they sent the wrong patient home & kept her, treating her for the wrong problem with the wrong blood
xxx: she lost the baby; the other patient died; she was in the hospital for 6 weeks
zzz: goddamn
xxx: she’s now suing the hospital
zzz: that’s a lawsuit
xxx: major $$$
xxx: just told the father about everything - he’s devistated
xxx: but she’s fine & still dancing in Vegas
zzz: that’s crazy
xxx: flying out tomorrow AM for a another week
xxx: yes it is
xxx: my question - how can you be 7.5 months pregnant & not know it…?
zzz: that’s crazy
xxx: and how was she confused for a dying crack addict with aids…?
zzz: that’s nuts
xxx: and why would you stay in that same hospital for 6 more weeks…?
zzz: that’s chante
xxx: and, as you summed up so nicely, “that’s nuts”

And More From Tami Monroe (aka Mrs Chuck Zane…Thats Mom to Matt and Mark, Aunt to Rob Black)

1. Do you remember the very public & messy fight between Matt & Chuck over catalogue ownwership? After the so called transfer of Zane to MZI Chuck tripped when Matt started to sell of the catalogue (to Explore). Chuck threatened to have Matt’s arms broken & Matt was thrown out of the company which I guess was still Zane with an MZI sign on the door. I wonder if he intended Matt to make the neccesary signatures before or after his arm were broken. Signatures? Are you serious? Do you really think Chuck or Matt give a fuck about the hierarchy or ownership registered with the treasurer? Remember, this is the guy who stabbed his employee with a pencil for suspected stealing. So, how well do you think I’d fare walking in the door of Zane & attempting to regulate justice or at least get MY shit back? After lying with my face on the asphalt & Matt’s combat boot in the middle of my back, I’d say not very well. 2.when the cops arrived Matt was hiding in the Warehouse. This was considered a domestic assault occuring on private property. Matt sent my car keys (which he had taken from me) out with a secritary. At that point the cops would need a search warrant to enter & several more cops to securely enter the building to capture & arrest Matt. I’d be required to press charges & have cops go to Kaiser emergency with me to photograph & document my injuries before they were treated. Later a courtroom full of people would see this. All the employees who had stood around watching me get my ass beat would have to give sworn statements as witnesses which would require spanish translaters for most of the boxers ( most illegal aliens). They would be fired or INS called so fast it would make your head spin. I knew this, they knew this. The same cops (Devonshire) were called a couple of years earlier when an adult film sound&lighting guy named Isreal Gomez who had worked for many companies (Zane included) went nuts & assaulted his girlfriend. He barricaded himself in the Gourmet Video warehouse (1 block away from Zane). When the cops entered the warehouse Izzy shot & killed 2 Devonshire cops before turning the gun on himself. I PROMISE you this fact of two fellow cops recentlyblown away during a domestic call at a porno warehouse was not lost on these two cops who returned my keys. Even without Matt’s arrest there was an auotmatic restraining order. The last thing on my mind was how this would benefit me in a lawsuit against my husband or stepson. This was my family for the past 6 years. I am a good girl & I was a good wife & I had nothing to be ashamed of but my only thought was not wanting these people who were my friends & family to see me cry. Don’t cry! Not here…not now! That’s what was in my head when I accepted a lift to emergency & had my car taken to Bob Smith BMW so I could pick it up later. I don’t feel you have any grounds to criticize or make light of my situatuion until YOU’VE been dragged by the hair & face down in your own motherfucking parking lot by someone you trusted as family. 3. Chuck is back in the country after fleeing to Europe for the past few years where the US courts cannot touch him. Keep in mind you are talking about a man who has perfected the art of bankrupting one company to escape creditors only to form 2 LLCs. The only reason he divided the company into shares was because he fucked over a former employee, Dave Konig. Chuck is VERY clever & smart. He knew the likelihood of a lawsuit & was aware of the probable outcome so he took neccessary steps because he is slick like that. That is the only reason for distribution into shares. So when Dave Konig filed(he did)& won(he did) the debt could not be attatched to Zane & it’s nearly impossible to collect money civily awarded from an individual who knows how to work the system to get over especially if the defendant banks in Lichtenstein or the Bahamas (still one of the most closed banking systems & does not follow post 911 international banking reform). When you speak of 1/2 wit attorneys who can prove hidden assets you speak of forensic accounting who are not family lawyers. My lawyer’s retainer was 10k (pretty standard in LA), an additional forensic accountant specialist would be another 10k…to start. For the past four years Chuck has been in Europe & there’s no legal means of discovery outside the US, so it remains a mystery. He has no explanation as to how he has managed to live in Amsterdam, Germany & Prague or even how he manages to get to&fro flying on lufthansa in business class. I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or vomit when I read your little commentary & I wondered if you remembered who & what business you’re talking about when you expressed doubt that these people would dare to do & get away with such things. Firstly, you’re a bit misinformed about the process & penalties of family/civil vs criminal matters. Do you know how hard it would be to invoke seizures or recievership for a civil family with no federal (ie IRS) involvement?You seem to have so much confidence in the moral fiber of Chuck & Matt as law abiding, tax paying & ethical good guys. A girl who was harmed during her one & only scene in the biz tried to bar Zane from distributing it. Apparently she required emergency medical attention & felt traumatized by the incident & did’t want it being sold for entertainment. Do you know how Chuck won? He simply exhausted her assets by drawing out the process untill she could not afford her case. No recall on the shipment, a victory. You do realize you’re talking about the Zicari family?

OK don’t email me to tell me that Israel Gonzales was killed in Elegant Angel warehouse I already know it. Other than that….well It certainly does sounds like the Zicari Family knows how to put the “fun” in dysfunctional…..

I still stand that Tami has 2 choices, she can walk away and she can let the cops and the courts handle it. She is wrong about them needing a warrant to apprehend Matt, a crime was taking place….all she offers is a bunch of lame excuses for not doing what she should do if what she says is all true. Maybe one of the Zanes will ring in here….I just bet there’s another side to this story.

Hi Mr. South,

I just wanted to let you know how right you are about people in porn but it isn’t limited to the girls. I am sick and tired of having to work with all these inked up morons that have so polluted their bodies with steroids that they can’t get wood without massive doses of viagra or even shooting up their dicks.

I am like Stefanie, I am here because I thought it would be a fun job with cool people but what it really is is a nursey school for junkies. I am returning to shooting internet porn, it is much safer.

Thank You for letting me vent and please don’t use my name on this.

Yer welcome doll and hang in there, porn in L.A. and porn in the rest of the country are two very different things.

Stefanie Writes:

K so first of all, long time no talk and who is this u ask? Im the girl u met over a year ago in florida then i emailed u from toronto and u were there and gone. So thats me.I have something to say about what Dr. Mary Anne Layden had to say about women in porn, Im not sure what most are like in the industry because I am not and never have been, but on that note I would if given the chance I would. I am not addicted to anything nor do I even drink, I just love to fuck. Pretty simple deal I wasnt abused or any bullshit. There has to be someone in the industry that is there just for the thrill.
Mike maybe Im wrong and just wishful but dont ruin my thoughts on everything! Tell me there is someone out there that just loves it without the crap involved.
I am pleased to say Im goin to vegas for the first time and cant wait…. so exciting. Am and always will be a fan.
stef

Stefanie there are certainly a few are/have been in porn who aren’t/weren’t addicted to anything, Serenity of course, Felicia Fox, Jacklyn Lick, problem is they are few and far between and seemingly getting fewer and farther between. Most of the sanest girls these days are the ones doing net porn, probably because it requires more discipline and and outside of L.A. its way more sane.

I spent about 30 Minutes on the air as a call in guest Friday Night. The show reaches most of the east coast and midwest. The topic was the senate subcommittee hearings on pornography. I defended the industry and did a pretty darn good job of it. We all know that the four “experts” that they heard from were anti-porn but in doing some research I came across some interesting points that these experts made.

Dr. Mary Anne Layden had this to say:

“Those who now work in the porn industry were often little girls who got into their beds each night, rolled themselves into a fetal position and each night he came in [and] pealed [sic] her open. They work in the porn industry with its physical invasion and visual invasion because it feels like home. Once they are in the industry they have high rates of substance abuse, typically alcohol and cocaine, depression, borderline personality disorder which is a particularly serious disorder and dissociative identity disorder which used to be called multiple personality disorder. The experience I find most common among the performers is that they have to be drunk, high or dissociated in order to go to work. Their work environment is particularly toxic. One study on strippers indicated that they were likely to be punched, slapped, grabbed, called cunt and whore and to be followed home or stalked.”

ummm aside from the first two sentences it sounds a lot like the truth from what I have seen of the L.A. Porn crowd. I bet you guys reading this are shaking your heads knowingly too….I don’t think I have to name names here but there very upper echilons of porn chicks exhibit a lot if not all of this behavior.

Dr. Jeffrey Satinover Says:

“The manifest content of pornography has been extensively examined, for example, revealing that (1) pornography’s dominant theme is one of unrestrained human sexual promiscuity and (2) it’s devoid of coercion and violent action (Brosius, Weaver, & Staab, 1994).” And later, “Initial hesitations to enjoy the material are rapidly lost with repeated exposure and give way to unadulterated reactions of enjoyment.”

Devoid of violent action? He certainly hasn’t studied porn since 1994…Unadulterated reactions of enjoyment? Like crying? Throwing up? Assault and Battery? Gee we better hope Dr Satinover sticks to his Golden Age Porn…

Y’all see the problem here? Hell just might be coming to breakfast…..

Not only did she make the Hall of Fame this year, she and Steve are the proud parents of a brand new bouncing baby…well…baby. ( They don’t want the particulars made public). Steve is beaming and Serenity is happy and all are healthy.

Congrats y’all! I can’t think of better parents than you guys.

Janine Doesn’t Love Rocco:

I’m sure that by now you have read all about this and as much as the cynic in me wants to see this as nothing more than a publicity stunt my gut says it isn’t. Apparently Rocco seems to think that cutting the tips off of the condoms he is suppossed to be using is acceptable behavior, even though Janine had told him that it isn’t.

Regardless, this comes down to the Director, just like in the Kylie story below. I will say this: If Rocco was on my set, and it was supposed be a condom scene and he cut the tip off of the condom…It isn’t Janine he will have to answer to, it’s ME. And it wouldn’t be pretty.

And while we are at it apparently Nick Manning likes to beat up chicks too, even after he has been told to cool it. Once again if that mother fucker pulled that shit on my set he will answer to ME.

I’m sick and tired of this bullshit, if you call yourself a fucking Director, take the fucking responsibility that goes with that title.

I Spent a Couple of Days in West Palm Beach:

It was nice, I love Florida, specially this time of year.

Over the weekend on her KSEX Show Pornchick Kylie Ireland related a story about how she got busted and had to go to court for shooting without a permit. She ended up with about a 1000.00 fine and 2 years probabtion. Here’s what she had to say:

Ireland said she was pissed off for having let the security guard in in the first place. “We were really cool to him and it’s his fault that I got this ticket.”

Umm sorry Kylie it wasn’t “his fault you got the ticket.” It WAS YOUR FUCKING FAULT because you didn’t comply with the law and get the required permit. When you shoot without a permit that’s a risk you take….If you don’t like it then you can either get the required permit, not shoot or take your chances, you did and you lost, but don’t blame someone else for your fuck ups. You don’t like the law…you are a citizen…get it changed. Otherwise comply with it or break it but don’t blame someone else if you choose to do the latter. A real Director is responsible for whatever happens on his/her set. Suck it up buttercup…

I’m Batting 1.000 in 04:

I had one release and it got one nomination…cool! As in years past I am honored to be nominated. I want to thank the folks at AVN and you the viewers and everyone who voted to nominate me. Thank You!

I Didn’t Make the Hall of Fame:

But I want to congratulate those who did, specially Serenity, my friend and my partner in novelties! There’s only one name who made the Hall of Fame that I would argue with…But I won’t… Congrats to all.

I’m Gonna Be In South Florida Tues thru Thurs:

Hope it’s warm, I miss warm weather…..

Guilty…he gets a new trial on appeal because of the jury fuck ups. Not Guilty the prosecution loses and he can’t be retried. Hung the prosecution tries him again. See the problem? the prosecution can’t win. They should have moved for a mistrial days ago when they jury foreman was released and started over. What a crock.

The 2005 AVN Awards Nominees

Will be announced sometime today…They will be HERE

This is one you need and best of all it’s free.

If you are using Netscape or Internet Explorer it’s time to send these security flawed browsers packing and get Firefox.

Firefox is at least as easy to use and install as Internet Explorer but there are a few differences:

1. Firefox is a LOT faster

2. Firefox does NOT have the security flaws

3. Firefox does all the same things, it blocks popups and spyware, it just does them better.

Im not getting paid for this, I don’t get squat out of it, I just want to make y’all aware of a clearly superior product even though its going to hurt my alexa rankings…..just get it.
