> The Grand Vizier calls me: “Back in the old days of porn it wasn’t a matter of going to the different trade shows because it was a sensible way to spend a dollar or to increase your business. You went to the shows to show all of the other guys in the business how much money you can afford to piss away. And they pissed it away on parties and enormous booths. It was like driving a Rolls Royce- it was look how much money I’ve got.
“Well, you know what? Nobody’s got any money. So they can’t go out there and just piss all this money away. I think AEE’s going to be a very sad show this year.”
> It’s been confirmed- Cytherea is having a baby except the daddy ain’t Brian aka Plus One. In fact, Brian’s the one who told me about this latest development and wishes Cytherea well. Meanwhile Brian seems to be very much involved with Rob Spallone’s new talent agency.
> bad Bob writes me about Tracey Adams [pictured]: Tracey seems to have disappeared on the East Coast, since 17 December. Her cell phone, which she lives on has been turned off, she does not respond to e-mails. Her friends and family are very concerned. The last word we have is she was going to Richmond, Va. Can you help us? Many thanks!
Gene sez: Bob, this is all I know- Tracey’s mom and dad passed away recentl and this left her very bummed out. And I know she has been very down on the industry in general. The last time I exchanged e-mails with her, she said she was getting a breast reduction at the beginning of the year. I have tried contacting her since with no luck.
> Rob Black was apparently out of town and upon his return held a meeting with his crew at Extreme during which Black stated: “I’m Joseph Stalin and it [some apparent nonsense]will stop right here and now!”
> Willie D posts on www.xxxporntalk.com: A quick summary of some recently-aired shockers on www.adultfyi.com:
Buck Adams was in the hospital…AGAIN. This time it was just a little stroke, nothing major like a heart attack or anything. Is Buck insurable anymore? Buck thought it was “funny” that the doctor recognized him. I don’t think anything about a stroke is “funny,” but when you’re on first-name pleasantries with a cardiologist, you take what you can get. Buck, read my tribute I wrote to your ex last week.
In the porn-gossip style he’s known for, Gene Ross tells the tale of HepC+ whore Erica Lockett who may or may not have stolen Dick Delaware’s ID after Dick, who is also HepC+ said he wouldn’t work with a HepC+ whore. Does she remember Dicky D was putting MMA holes through the wall of his apartment when Layla Rivera dumped him? Lockett has been HepC+ for 20 years. Not a big surprise here, but it does remind me I am negligent in keeping up on the newest and best venereal diseases in porn. The Clap used to be popular, but I heard that gonorrhea was making a comeback. Anyway, HepC is so yesterday, aren’t we up to HepG now?
Mary Carey wigs out again. Supposedly Mariah Carey has filed trademark papers to prevent whore Mary “Carey” (real name Mary **o*) from using her assumed last name. Key: Last name. Ex-governor contestant Carey was then quoted as saying, “She’s Crazy! Mary’s my name!” Is your middle name “Idiot?”
Black Widow Talent seems to be circling the drain again. How nice of you to volunteer a rented house to shoot smut, then refuse to tell anyone where it is, how to get there, or anything else. Everyone gets picked and driven around by these guys. Isn’t this the same guy who sent out letters to his DVD distribution customers last month telling them not to expect a payment anytime soon? Sounds like a blind date that turns out to be a sexual assault.
File all this under “news that isn’t so shocking….”
