Hillary Clinton's Election Victory, A Plus For The Porn Industry

Jenna Jameson is backing Hillary Clinton and the adult film star and producer is counting on a win to boost pornography. She notes that Bill Clinton was an absolute gold mine for the industry and when he was in the Oval Office having his fun with Monica Lewinsky, the numbers went through the roof.

The author of the New York Times bestseller "How To Make Love Like a Porn Star," talked about Hillary Clinton in an interview with media and had nothing but love for Hillary.

American Sex Gazette: "Who's your favorite Democratic front runner for 2008? Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or John Edwards?"

Jenna Jameson: "I love Hillary. I think that in some ways she's pretty conservative for a Democrat, but I would love to have a woman in office. I think that it would be a step in the right direction for our country, and there would be less focus on war and more focus on bettering society."

American Sex Gazette asks, "Do you find that the climate of the adult industry changes when there is a Republican administration versus Democratic?"

Jenna Jameson: "Absolutely. The Clinton administration was the best years for the adult industry and I wish that Clinton would run again. I would love to have him back in office. I would love to have Al Gore in office. When Republicans are in office, the problem is, a lot of times they try to put their crosshairs on the adult industry, to make a point."

"It's sad, when there are so many different things that are going on in the world: war, and people are dying of genocide.. ..I look forward to another Democrat being in office. It just makes the climate so much better for us, and I know that once all our troops come home, things are going to be better and I think that getting Bush out of office is the most important thing right now."

FBI Hit Hispanic Brothels

Jared Allen

A joint Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Metro Police Department operation led to the weekend bust of the fifth Hispanic brothel that local authorities have taken down this year.

And investigators on Monday confirmed that the FBI's Nashville field office has taken the lead in looking into whether the operators of numerous Hispanic brothels in South Nashville are also violating federal anti-human trafficking laws.

So far, no charges of human trafficking have been brought against any of the dozen or so brothel managers arrested this year. Authorities did say the conditions in which the prostitutes are found living and working - including the low pay and frequent johns - continue to raise questions about human trafficking.

At the same time, though, local police believe their multiple busts are leading them further up the managerial ladder, and ultimately closer to what they believe may be a centralized organization responsible for securing the women, setting up the brothels and hiring managers and even armed security guards.

Metro Vice Squad Detective Joe Ladnier oversaw the weekend arrest of two managers and two prostitutes working out of a small apartment near the intersection of Old Hickory Boulevard and Nolensville Pike in Antioch.

Arrested and charged with prostitution were a 41-year-old and a 38-year-old female, both from the Dominican Republic, police said.

Police also arrested two managers, Oscar Rolando Castillo-Gonzalez, 28, and Juan Antonio Ruiz, 36, both of who listed the brothel as their home address. Castillo-Gonzalez and Ruiz are both charged with felony counts of promoting prostitution.

Ladnier said the preliminary investigation has shown that while Castillo-Gonzalez and Ruiz are low-level managers, they are both part of the same prostitution ring, the higher-ups of which are still at large, and likely running as many as 10 additional brothels - all catering solely to Hispanics - around Nashville.

"This one is definitely related to some of the others," Ladnier said. "Even some of the ones we've taken down this year."

In March Metro Police raided a similar apartment-style brothel - where Hispanic customers were paying $30 for sex, and where the women were seeing as many as 10 or more clients a day - located at 124 Welworth St. in Madison.

The two prostitutes and two managers found working inside the Welworth Street apartment were identified as illegal immigrants.

The four individuals arrested over the weekend were identified as illegal immigrants upon their booking into the Metro-Davidson County Jail, which now has the ability to run instant immigration checks through a federal database.

All four defendants are being detained on immigration holds.

Castillo-Gonzalez and Ruiz are scheduled to have a preliminary hearing today in General Sessions Court.

Police are hoping the two plead guilty and agree to provide information about any larger prostitution operation they may be a part of.

Stephen Richardson, the FBI's Supervisory Special Agent in Nashville, said his office could not comment on an ongoing investigation.

Reanae Cruz - "A Star Is Born"


William Sparrow

The famous phrase 'a star is born' has been uttered so many times it's often hard to take seriously but in the case of newcomer Renae Cruz, 'a porn star is born' seems quite appropriate.

The sexy five foot four inch gorgeous brunette with Brazilian and Philipina roots is enjoying her first few months in the adult movie business and fans and critics alike are beginning to take notice.

Cruz made her way into the adult biz last November after a life as a military brat. She was born in the Philippines and lived for a year in Brazil. During that time, she learned two important things: Portuguese and the ability to adapt.

"Moving around so much made me learn to understand people better," she said. "I think I come off as a much more mature person that way."

All Media Play President Jeff Mullen told XBIZ that he bumped into Cruz at a dinner party, where the 19-year-old caught his eye. He later brought her in for some photos.

"We did a photo shoot with her, and she just sparkled," he said. "She's absolutely gorgeous, cute, young with a great sexual appetite and fun to be around."

"I really love doing my job because I enjoy sex so much. Where else can I make a great living having this much fun? It's really unbelievable," she said while having lunch at a fashionable Melrose cafe.

With a heavy schedule of hardcore sex movies and an upcoming blockbuster role as J-Ho in the Jennifer Lopez spoof J-Ho: Jenny on the Cock from X-Play/Adam & Eve, Renae¡¦s future as a best new starlet contender is looking quite bright.

Her incredible sex performances are the stuff that directors love and her fondness for being on set make her a producer's dream.

"Renae is a special performer. We noticed it the first time we saw her but when you see her having sex on camera, her enthusiasm should be bottled and sold to every other girl in this business," said producer Scott David.

"She's a one of a kind girl and I really think she was born to have sex. Some girls love sex, but just don¡¦t look that great doing it, but Renae looks absolutely beautiful in every position," stated director Will Rider. "We love her."

"I never seriously thought about this as a career but I did think about it in the back of my mind that I'd like to try it and one day I decided it was time to come to Los Angeles and become a porn star," Renae said just before checking her watch so that she would not be late for her next shoot. With a steady stream of bookings being offered to her through her agent at Goldstar Modeling, Renae is in a position to turn down jobs only taking those which appeal to her.

With dozens of upcoming movies yet to be released, Renae seems to be having serious fun. She features in upcoming movies such as Bad Seed's Bubble Gum Cuties, Hustler's Barely Legal School Girls 4, Adam & Eve/X-Play's Long Dong Black Kong and J-Ho: Jenny on the Cock all coming soon.

"Thanks For Being There For Me" Say Britney Spears


From separation that eventually led to the end of her marriage to a doping lifestyle that sent her to rehab, Britney not only sees a bright side to life but is appreciative of all the support her fans gave her morally, spiritually etc.

In a message posted on her website, a photo of Spears wearing nothing but a pair of elbow-length white gloves appears alongside a message to fans who have included the troubled pop princess in their prayers.

"The reason for this letter is to let everyone know that their prayers have truly helped me," Spears writes.

"I am so blessed that you care enough about me to be concerned and will continue to live in this brighter state with all of you by myself during this trying time," she said.

"We are all lights of the world and we all need to continuously inspire others and look to the higher power," she added.

Spears split from husband Kevin Federline last year, an event that triggered an avalanche of tabloid stories about the "Oops! ... I Did It Again" star.

She was photographed partying hard in Los Angeles and Las Vegas -- often pantyless -- and bizarrely shaved her head shortly before entering a rehabilitation clinic.

Did Shaha Ali Riza Unwittingly Do What Monica Liwinsky Couldnt Do?

World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz on Thursday bowed to weeks of international pressure and quit. But not everyone is happy.


After weeks of wrangling in the media and questions about will-he, won’t he, Wolfowitz has thrown in the towel and resigned from his post as president of the World Bank (WB).

Seemingly due to favouritism, “Wolfie’s” decision to resign, which he announced himself, was done “in the best interests” of the institution he chaired since 2005, and will take effect at the end of this fiscal year, June 30. Mr Wolfowitz reiterated none the less that he acted in “the best interests” the WB also when he had got a promotion and pay rise for his girlfriend Shaha Ali Riza.

The bank’s 24 executive directors who pushed for him to go said they had accepted his assurance that he had acted “ethically and in good faith”.

Wolfowitz’s and the directors’ press releases were prepared together as face-saving way out for the WB president with both side acknowledging each other’s errors and good faith.

The White House, which backed Wolfowitz till the end, said it regretted the decision but accepted it.

At the European parliament an emergency resolution against Wolfowitz was being prepared by the Greens and the Socialist Party. Usually, emergency resolutions are called only in case of gross violations of human rights.

For the past month, “Wolfie” was under pressure to leave the WB, the international organisation that provides about US$ 25 billion in interest-free loans to poor countries.

In addition to his personal foibles, critics ganged up against him because of his role in the Iraq War and his close alignment to the policies of the US administration of George W. Bush.

AsiaNews sources confirm however that Wolfowitz’s real detractors were the neo-Malthusians within the WB who want the organisation to make a greater effort to fund abortion practices in the Third World.

These groups have been trying to boycott the economic rebirth of Iraq and had it in for Wolfowitz because he had ordered the reopening of the WB offices in Baghdad and wanted the organisation to jumpstart financing reconstruction in Iraq in close co-operation with the Iraqi government.

African countries are also happy to see Wolfowitz go because he had tried to hold them more accountable in the fight against corruption or risk a suspension in WB aid.

By contrast, Japan’s Finance Minister Koji Omi said that Wolfowitz was doing a good job. Many Asian economists are of the same opinion.

LINDSAY LOHAN HAVING SEX ON SCREEN

Freckled beauty Lindsay Lohan has agreed to have sex on screen to prove she's a great actress reports Digital Spy UK. The 20-year-old always swore she would never shoot a sex scene, but Chris Siverston - the director of her new movie 'I Know Who Killed Me' - persuaded her to change her mind so she would get the critical recognition she craves.

Lindsay - who plays a stripper who is kidnapped and has both her legs amputated in the movie - told Nylon magazine, "Chris Siverston is a f***ing genius. We made a deal that I will do any film he wants me to do.

"At first I was like 'I can't do this, I'm getting my leg cut off. I don't want to look like that in scenes, I want to look decent!'

"But that was just me being young and stupid. And I have my first sex scene in it, which I always said I wouldn't do.

"I wanted to do this movie so people can see that I'm a f***ing actress and I've been doing it forever and it's about time people see that. It felt so good to really get to act."

Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan was "terrified" of playing an overtly "sexual" female in her new film.

The star - who has been romantically linked to a series of famous men and sent a text message to a male friend from rehab saying she was "craving sex" - struggled to play Rachel, a disturbed young girl who tries to seduce her stepfather, in 'Georgia Rule'.

Lindsay said, "I was really nervous when I had the scene where I had to be sexual and provocative. I was terrified.

"I cried so much when we wrapped. I haven't been able to go where Rachel goes in a movie."

The actress' character is sexually abused in the movie, and her co-star Jane Fonda - who works to prevent teenage pregnancy in Georgia - found it hard to watch.

Jane said, "I get so emotional when I see this movie, because I work with girls who have been abused. And I know how the abuse makes them act out."

Lindsay Ann Hawker's killer Still On The Run


Ryann Connell

Accused killer Tatsuya Ichihashi remains unaccounted for, weeks after the brutal murder of English teacher Lindsay Ann Hawker, and attention has turned to his wealthy parents in the hope of picking up his trail again, according to Josei Jishin.

Freeloader Ichihashi lived in an apartment in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, that his parents owned and where Hawker's body was eventually found on March 26.

Though a graduate of a prestigious university, Ichihashi chose not to work, instead living off mommy and daddy -- posh physicians living in a palatial mansion (in the true sense of the word) in Gifu Prefecture.

"His parents were classmates at a private high school in Gifu. Both graduated and moved on to Nihon University, where his father studied to become a surgeon and mother a dentist," a reporter for a national daily tells Josei Jishin. "Until the killing, the father had been the head of an Aichi Prefecture hospital's surgical department. The mother was running the family dental clinic, but has since shut it down."

Neighbors spoke highly of the accused killer's parents.

"The father is a warm, gentle type, even though the mother is a bit snappy," one neighbor tells the women's weekly.

Ichihashi drastically changed his generous parents' lives, too, the moment he allegedly took Hawker's.

"He told us directly that it was impossible for him to work, so he has been placed on indefinite leave. Someone else has taken over his job," says a spokesman for the hospital where Ichihashi's father worked.

The women's weekly notes that the parents are now holed up in the Gifu palace with a tap on their phone that allows phone calls to be tracked, in hopes that their son will ring them.

Of course, they wouldn't need to be there were it not for the bumbling Chiba Prefectural Police, who allowed Ichihashi to literally slip out of their hands the night Hawker's body was discovered, according to Weekly Playboy.

A junior high schoolboy from Ichikawa tells a tale of incompetent crime-fighting that would be comical were the consequences not so tragic.

"This group of about five or six cops carrying flashlights came running up the road, shouting 'Stop, wait.' One of the cops came over to me. 'We're after a crook on the run. Give us that bike for a minute,' he said and snatched my bicycle away from me," the boy tells Weekly Playboy.

The boy says he was terrified, so stayed by a police officer's side. "But the officer flashed his light into a parking lot and then, all of a sudden, this shadow came flying out of the darkness. It was like a huge ape. The cop grabbed it and had pinned his arms, but the guy twisted him around and elbowed him. As the cop bent over, the man ran away," the boy says.

What they boy has to say so far has been pretty widely reported. But what he says next must be a condemnation of police handling of the case.

"While he was grappling with Ichihashi, the cop was screaming out at me, 'Call the cops! Call the cops!' What was I supposed to do? 'You are the cops,' I shouted back," the boy says. "The cop was pathetic. You couldn't rely on him for anything."

Chiba Prefectural Police still have 150 officers searching for Ichihashi, but he has vanished without a trace.

Many say he has taken his own life, but others believe he is out there, somewhere. Among those who hold out hope of finding the accused killer but who have given up hope of the police ever catching him are a group of Hawker's friends who have formed what the Japanese media is calling a "vigilante group."

"Most of the members are English people who used to hang out at the same cafe that Hawker-san went to," a friend of Hawker's tells Weekly Playboy. "They are looking for Ichihashi through the foreign resident community. They're trying much harder to find him than the Chiba Prefectural Police force are."

Sylvester Stallone Pleaded Guilty And Apologized.

Sylvester Stallone finally pleaded guilty on Tuesday and apologized for illegally importing 48 vials of banned human growth hormone into Australia in what he called a "strange and truly unfortunate occurrence".

Stallone's lawyer, Phillip Boulten, handed a letter to a Sydney court in which the actor admitted two charges of importing a prohibited substance when he arrived at Sydney airport from the United States in February on a promotional tour.

"I made a terrible mistake. Not because I was attempting to deceive anyone but I was simply ignorant of your official rules," Stallone wrote in a letter to the judge.

Stallone, 60, was not in the court for the hearing, during which the judge was told the actor threw four vials of testosterone out of a Sydney hotel window during a later raid on his room by Customs officers. He will be sentenced on Monday.

Government prosecutor David Agius told the court Stallone's actions suggested an awareness he had broken the law.

But Boulten said Stallone was taking hormone under doctors' supervision for a medical condition not revealed in court or in Stallone's letter.

"This is not some back alley body builder dealing covertly with some banned substance in some sort of secret way," he said.

Stallone said he felt terrible his unintentional breach of customs laws had "set a poor example to members of the public whose opinion I cherish dearly", adding he enjoyed his trip despite his brush with the law.

"It was a hard learned lesson and an eye-opener that the world is a complex society and knowing the rules of your intended destination is of paramount importance," Stallone wrote.

"I wish to express my deepest remorse and again apologize for my actions."

The Australian Customs Service charged Stallone with two counts of importing a prohibited item when he was detained at Sydney airport on February 16.

Customs said the 48 vials of prohibited human growth hormone were found in his luggage. The maximum fine for the offence is A$110,000 (US$91,600).

Stallone left Australia on February 19, after a three-day visit to promote his new film, Rocky Balboa, bound for Thailand to shoot his latest Rambo movie.

DUI or DWI : Celebs Latest Crime

Judging from the entertainment headlines of late, a growing number of celebrity scandals have the whiff of alcohol about them.

Socialite Paris Hilton’s violation of her probation on charges that she drove drunk last September led to a judge’s decision on Friday to jail her for 45 days.

This after everyone from Hollywood actor-director Mel Gibson - who shocked the world when he made anti-Semitic remarks last July while being arrested for drink driving - to former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff - the subject of a video that surfaced this week where he appears inebriated - has paid the price
for having one too many.

Closer to home, actor Christopher Lee, 35, - faces five charges following his arrest for drink driving last October near Mustafa Centre. He will have his fourth court appearance on Thursday.

Former TV host Benedict Goh was charged on Wednesday with the same offence. Breathalyser tests showed the 38-year-old’s blood alcohol level was above the legal limit on two occasions when the police stopped him - first in February 2004, and then in the same month this year when the car he was driving collided with a stationary vehicle on the Ayer Rajah Expressway.

While alcohol-related run-ins with the law aren’t limited to the rich and famous, it seems that being in the public eye makes people especially susceptible to the perils of alcohol.

The Art of Saying ‘No’

Former MTV VJ Max Loong - an actor who has worked with corporations such as Motorola, Nike and Johnny Walker - finds it harder in Asia to say “No” when offered cocktails by those who recognise him in clubs.

“People here really like to see you down the drinks,” said the 27-year-old Cosmic Film artiste, who goes clubbing at least once a week when he’s in town. “They do make your life a little difficult when you decline their offers so there’s not much you can do in such situations.”

The actor, who currently stars in MediaCorp TV Channel 5’s drama After Hours, admitted that he tends to oblige the people who wish to buy him a cocktail unless he has to work the next day.

“It’s really hard saying no, and I don’t like feeling bad about people wasting their money to buy me drinks. But if I really don’t want to or can’t, I just have to stay strong and say no.”

For a self-confessed beer lover like film-maker Eric Khoo - who calls himself “a heavy drinker when the mood strikes him” - it can be even harder to turn down a proffered pint. Of course, this often puts the 39-year-old director in the position of trying to work out how to get back to his house safely.

“If I’m driving and know I’m going out for a drink, I will either take a cab or ask my wife to drive me home.

“In situations where people offer to buy me drinks and I really can’t drink that day, I’ll ask them to buy me drinks another day.”

MediaCorp Radio Class95 DJ Jean Danker also finds herself treated to offers of free drinks when she’s out on the town.

“I’ll accept the drinks more often than not,” said the 28-year-old DJ. “To be polite, I’ll at least take a sip or two. I don’t think maliciously of the people who offer me drinks. They could be one of my listeners or someone who recognises me.”

In any case, she has the perfect answer so that no one is offended. “I’d say I am the designated driver for my group of friends,” That usually stops anyone from becoming too persistent, she added.

Clubs Play a Part

Even though the consensus among club operators here seems to be that Singapore celebrities are not the type to let one too many glasses of wine turn them into potential road hazards, club managers still take precautions where drinking is concerned.

These include well-known outlets like Zouk, St James Power Station, Club Momo and The Hacienda.

Explaining that it’s difficult to control the alcohol consumption of customers, The Hacienda owner Michel Lu, 35, said that measures such as calling a cab for customers - celebrities and non-celebrities alike - are in place to ensure that those who have had one too many get home safely.

“It’s a responsible business practice, something I’ve followed since I started my first bar,” he said.

The club impresario, who has played host to the likes of Kate Moss, Jude Law, Naomi Campbell and footballer Hidetoshi Nakata, added that anyone who seems to have had too many alcoholic beverages tends to be removed from the premises.

“But we’ve never had a problem with celebrities, who are just like any other customer to us,” Lu said. “Real celebrities are classy and understand that to get respect, they have to act in a certain way.”

Ning Ling, 35, the marketing and guest relations manager for Club Momo, agreed that it’s hard to control how much customers drink. She said: “If they are members or regulars whom we know personally, we will not get them any more drinks once they are drunk, unless they have friends or someone who is driving them home.”

In such cases, a cab is usually called for the customer, or he is escorted out of the club to take a breather.

Cheryl Khong, 27, the publicity manager for St James Power Station, said the entertainment complex has a drive-home service for celebrities who are deemed unfit to take the wheel. And she has their contact numbers to make sure they get home safe.

“Generally, local celebrities don’t drink a lot but, if they insist on drinking, we will serve them but, at the same time, make sure that someone else is driving them home.”

She agreed with Lu that celebrities here are generally well behaved. “Most of the stories about how celebrities can be quite hard to handle are not true,” she said. “Usually all they ask for is a table and some privacy.”

Tracy Philips, the marketing manager of Zouk — which has played host to the likes of David Beckham and Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann — added that it’s often “the not-so-big stars that ask for more”.

“We try to assist them the best we can,” said Philips, who is in her 20s. “And our PR personnel and supervisors are always on the lookout to make sure that people don’t drink too much. We don’t really have the wild nights of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears here in Singapore, so drinking’s not much of a problem.”

Christopher Lee Gets 4 weeks In Jailed And S$4,500 Fine for Drink-driving

MediaCorp actor Christopher Lee has been sentenced to four weeks in jail on charges relating to drink driving.

He has also been fined S$4,500 and is disqualified from driving for three years.

Lee arrived in court Thursday morning, accompanied by his lawyer and manager.

His offences include causing injury to a motorcyclist and his pillion rider, in a hit-and-run accident.

In passing his sentence, the judge said Lee knew he had caused an accident and could not be excused from failing to stop and check.

Breathalyser tests showed Lee's body contained twice the legal alcohol limit.

Lee had given over S$70,000 in compensation to the victims for their injuries, which the judge noted as "evidence of his remorse".

The Judge said given the recent spate of drink driving accidents, a message must be sent to the public that "such risks are not acceptable and will continue to be sternly treated".

Lee will be appealing against the jail term, and is currently out on S$20,000 bail.

When contacted, MediaCorp Studios said it is inappropriate to comment at this time as Lee is appealing against the sentence.

Paris Hilton - Why I Accept My Fate!

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton is speaking out after being sentenced to 45 days in the slammer for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless-driving case.

It looks like she has finally come to terms with her fate, realizing she has no choice but to face the consequences of her actions and surrender to her future cellmate's bitch wishes. The doomed socialite was ordered by lawyers decided on her own accord to issue a statement, in which she accepts her 45-day jail sentence for driving with a suspended license.

"After reading the media's coverage of my court hearing, I feel the need to correct what I believe are misperceptions about me," Hilton's statement says. "I absolutely realize how serious driving under the influence is. I could not live with myself if anyone was injured or killed while I was driving while impaired. Clearly, no one should no matter how slightly. I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation.

"No one is above the law. I surely am not," the suspiciously articulate statement adds. "I do not expect to be treated better than anyone else who violated probation. However, my hope is that I will not be treated worse."

Sorry, Paris, but we'll be shocked if you survive 45 days unscathed among shiv-wielding inmates who are itching to turn you into a human piata.

Chinese Pigs - Under Viral Attack

As a mysterious epidemic kill pigs in south-eastern China, Chinese officials are only providing little information about the disease or a contaminated wheat gluten that has been known to cause death and illness in the animals. Thus reviving longstanding questions about whether China is willing to share information about health and food safety issues with potentially global implications.

The virus was probably linked to a reproductive and respiratory condition known as blue-eared pig disease, the ministry said in a statement on its website.

"This disease spreads especially fast during the summer," the ministry said, citing the hot and humid weather of the season.

The agriculture ministry requires veterinary departments to stay on high alert for the disease and immediately report suspect cases.

"Once the virus mutates, it will become more pathogenic and more difficult to cure," the ministry warned.

A major problem are the poor breeding conditions as most farmers tend to raise their pigs in open places, and pens are poorly equipped with anti-epidemic measures, the ministry said.

The frequent transportation of live pigs might also facilitate the spread of the disease, it said.

More than 300 pigs in Guangdong province died late April as a result of a secondary bacterial infection by the virus, the China Daily reported earlier.

The virus entered China from overseas in the mid-1990s and had recently showed signs of mutation, the report said.

Experts say it cannot spread from animals to people.

Tests for the disease are available and a vaccine has received government approval and is to be distributed soon, the statement said.

The agriculture ministry has already urged increased vaccinations for swine fever, pig rash and swine pneumonia and called on animal medical factories to step up production of medicines.

Dead pigs have been buried deep underground and far from sources of water.

The China Daily said the provincial agriculture authority has called for strict measures to ensure sterilisation, vaccination and supervision to avert further outbreaks.

The disease caused a panic in local areas as residents stopped buying pork for fear of eating tainted meat.

What If Your Date Is A Porn Celeb

It is difficult not to think how great it might be to date someone like Tera Patrick, Jenna Jameson or Kaylani Lei. They are absolutely gorgeous women. Even your mom would have to be proud of you for landing such a babe. However, besides boasting to all your buddies about having laid one of the hottest ladies, what would going out with and dating a pornstar really be like? For some men they'd probably not find that kind of heat quite so neat after a while.

Fred Gonzalez of McClatchy Newspapers decided to ask some adult performers at the recent Exxxotica convention in Miami Beach, Florida, whether they would ever date an average guy. He spoke to Jennifer Drake a performer from Wicked Pictures who said, "Absolutely. It's probably a lot easier than guys would think because aside from the fact that we have sex on camera, we're pretty normal. We have our hobbies, like yoga, swimming and reading."

However, as more than one adult performer suggested, it can be difficult for a dude to accept what is girlfriend has to do everyday in the biz. You'd have to be rather secure in yourself not to feel threatened by the fact that some muscle stud with a huge dick was doing your girlfriend at work. He also talked with Tera Patrick who explained, "A lot of us girls date regular guys but it's hard because you want to meet someone who understands your business and isn't jealous."

Okay, so for the sake of argument, let's say we aren't the jealous types how should we woo a porn starlet? Carmen Luvana added, "The big misconception by guys is they think because we have sex for a living they think that will happen all the time. Just be yourself and don't talk about how many movies you have watched. Be normal and treat her like a normal person ... We want a guy that wants you for you and not because you are an adult star and he wants to let everyone know."

That seems straightforward enough I guess. However, I've been in relationships in the past for the right reasons, but have had my motives questioned. I know that in the end, if someone you're dating doubts you enough then in the long run you begin to doubt yourself unless you're stronger-willed than most folks. I think any relationship regardless of whether it's with a pornstar, or a normal person can be tricky. However, personally I think I'll stick to scoring within my league of non-porno celebs.

Kansas' Tornadoes, Numerous Injuries And More Death

At least seven people were killed, said Sharon Watson, spokeswoman for the Kansas Adjutant General's Department. The tornado that struck Friday night damaged about 90 percent of the Kiowa County town about 110 miles west of Wichita, City Administrator Steve Hewitt said Saturday.

Dazed residents walked the streets, looking for loved ones and taking in the sight of crumbled buildings and smashed cars.

Much of downtown was destroyed, along with City Hall, the high school and the junior high school, Hewitt said.

"I don't think we have a business left downtown," he said. A mandatory evacuation was ordered, he said.

Emergency personnel and search and rescue teams raced to Greensburg from throughout southwest Kansas. Trained dogs accompanied law enforcement officers who searched house to house for anyone trapped or injured.

"There is still a possibility we do not have all of the people accounted for in that town," Watson said. "That is something we will be working feverishly to do over the next several hours."

A storm front spawned tornadoes along a line stretching northeast from Greensburg through central Kansas. Three small tornadoes also touched down Friday in rural southwestern Illinois, but officials said there were no reports of injury or damage. Two tornadoes struck in Oklahoma, damaging some structures but injuring no one, officials said.

Greensburg's injured were taken to hospitals as far away as Dodge City. Hewitt said at least 50 people had been taken to hospitals, 16 in critical condition, but said exact numbers were impossible to come by.

Rescuers pulled about 30 people from a partially collapsed hospital early Saturday. Watson said those rescued from the hospital basement had mostly minor injuries.

Phone service to the town of about 1,600 residents was knocked out, and the state's department of transportation was trying to restore emergency service.

The National Weather Service described the tornado as a "wedge," an especially broad and tall formation. Frederick Kruse of the weather service's Dodge City office said there were initial reports that the tornado was at least three-quarters of a mile wide on the ground.

Watson said the state fire marshal's office dispatched hazardous materials teams because railroad cars in Kiowa County had overturned. She said the National Guard was sending 40 troops to provide security around Greensburg.

Shelters were opened for Greensburg residents at Barclay College and a high school in nearby Haviland.

"We have more than 300 people in shelters in Haviland," Watson said. "We have another 300 en route to take advantage of those shelters, and we anticipate that number to grow."

At the high school, the Rev. Gene McIntosh described how he huddled with his family in the parsonage of Greensburg's United Methodist Church as the tornado roared overhead. McIntosh said sofa cushions protected his 11-year-old son and the boy's friend from falling debris.

"There was a lot of praying down there," McIntosh said.

Even A DUI Lawyer cant Stop Paris Hilton From Going To Jail


Paris Hilton appears in court tomorrow for probation violation following the suspension of her license due to alcohol-related reckless driving. Paris must appear tomorrow on a probation violation, for allegedly driving on a suspended license. Hilton was already on probation after pleading no contest last January to alcohol-related reckless driving. The DMV had suspended Hilton’s license as a result of her DUI bust.

While her license was suspended, Hilton was stopped by the CHP last January 15, and again by the L.A. County Sheriffs on February 27.

The City Attorney will argue that Hilton certainly knew after she was stopped in January that she wasn’t allowed to drive, so the second stop was a flagrant violation of law.

The documents suggest Hilton mistakenly relied on her lawyer’s assumption that Hilton had a right to drive, but the City Attorney claims in the legal papers that it’s a bogus argument.

According to the papers, Hilton also failed to enroll in an alcohol education program within 21 days of the order directing her to do so.

The legal papers ask that “Hilton be ordered to serve 45 days in County Jail.” Prosecutors also want her to be ordered “not to consume any alcohol for a continuous period of 90 days.” During that 90-day period, prosecutors want her “to be monitored for alcohol consumption … by use of a Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM) device at her expense.”

If the City Attorney gets their way, in addition to the 45 days, Hilton will also have her license suspended for four more months, and her car will be impounded for 30 days. Sucks to be Paris Hilton.

Anna Nicole Smith's Baby Arrives Kentucky From Bahamas

BRETT BARROUQUERE,
Associated Press

Anna Nicole Smith's ex-boyfriend arrived in Kentucky from the Bahamas on Tuesday with their infant daughter and said he is looking forward to introducing the baby to his family.

"It just feels good to be home," Larry Birkhead said after stepping off a private jet and walking up to a fence where more than a dozen photographers and reporters were gathered.

Birkhead said he plans to show off 7-month-old Dannielynn to his family in Louisville and "relax and horse around."

He said his plans include attending the Barnstable Brown party on Friday, a celebrity-packed gala on the eve of the Kentucky Derby. The event is where he and Smith first met when he was working as a freelance photographer.

He said Tuesday the baby had an easy flight.

"She did great," he said.

At a private terminal at the Louisville airport, people could be seen moving a variety of baby gear off the plane and into the back of an SUV. An infant car seat, facing away from reporters, was taken off the plane and put in the back seat of the SUV. A few minutes later Birkhead got into the vehicle and it drove off.

Birkhead, a 34-year-old photographer based in Los Angeles, was authorized by a judge last week to take the girl out of the Bahamas. The ruling followed legal battles by Birkhead to prove his paternity claim and gain custody following the former Playboy playmate's death in February from an accidental drug overdose.

A new Bahamian birth certificate listing Birkhead as the father was issued in line with a court order last week, removing the name of Smith's last companion, Howard K. Stern. Stern had been caring for the girl in the oceanfront home in the Bahamas he shared with Smith.

US Homeland Security Officer Arrested For Running A Prostitution Parlor

When federal agents raided local massage parlors last month, they were shocked to find a Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officer's gun and uniform in an apartment linked to one of the parlors.

That officer - David J. Wolkiewicz, 51 - appeared before a federal magistrate judge Tuesday, and court papers indicated that he has admitted that he helped run a parlor where prostitution allegedly took place.

Prosecutors said Wolkiewicz, an officer with U.S. Customs & Border Protection, has admitted assisting the operator of the Asian Acupressure Therapy parlor at 7500 Porter Road, Town of Niagara.

Wolkiewicz, who has been suspended from duty, was charged last week with lying to government agents.

According to court papers, the federal officer's uniform, name plate and gun were found on March 26, when federal agents raided a Porter Road apartment of a massage parlor employee.

When agents confronted him that day at a nearby location, he admitted that he was involved in a romantic relationship with a woman who ran the parlor but initially stated that he provided "no financial support or other assistance" to the business.

But later, authorities said, Wolkiewicz admitted that he:

. Sometimes drove women who he believed were prostitutes between the parlor and Buffalo Niagara International Airport.

. Once delivered a gym bag from the woman who ran the parlor to another woman at a casino in Niagara Falls, Ont. Wolkiewicz said he believed the gym bag contained sneakers and clothing.

. Once delivered a package from the same Ontario casino to the woman who ran the parlor. That package included about 10 smaller foil packages. Wolkiewicz said he believed the foil packages contained cosmetics, and he did not declare them when he transported them over the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge into the United States.

. Did maintenance and repair work at the massage parlor, including changing a shower head, fixing a whirlpool and repairing light fixtures.

. Placed advertisements for the massage parlor in local newspapers.

. Got a Sam's Club card for the massage parlor, and the card had his photograph on it.

"Wolkiewicz also stated that he tried to distance himself from the prostitution establishment, that he attempted to encourage [the operator] to run a legitimate business," Robert M. Vanderbles, an agent with the homeland security inspector general's office, said in court papers.

The papers were filed by William J. Hochul Jr., chief of the national security division at the U.S. attorney's office in Buffalo. Hochul declined to comment, except to confirm what was stated in the documents.

U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents raided eight massage parlors in Erie and Niagara counties on March 26, following a lengthy investigation into claims that illegal aliens were being recruited to work as prostitutes at the parlors.

Fourteen people have been charged so far in what authorities call a major human trafficking investigation. Yong Mei Shi, the woman identified in court papers as having a relationship with Wolkiewicz, was arrested during the raids on charges of harboring illegal aliens.

Wolkiewicz and one of his attorneys, Ellen Poch, appeared briefly Tuesday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy, who allowed the federal officer to remain free without bail.

A plea of not guilty has been entered by Wolkiewicz. Poch said she had no comment on the allegations.
