THE PIPELINE: SEPTEMBER 2002
Greetings once again my friends and welcome to the back to school edition of the Pipeline. As summer comes to a close with the final long weekend of the season, I bring you news from the world of porn. With more movement than a Pedro Martinez slider, the world of smut has been playing musical chairs, revolving doors a few games of can you top this? We have much to cover this month so I shall not keep you in suspense for too long.
Leading off the news this month is the biggest of many announcements from Extreme Associates. Porn legend Tom Byron has called it quits as a performer. After twenty years in front of the camera, “The Icon†has decided to retire and focus all of his attention on behind the camera activities. With more movies than anyone could count to his credit, Byron ends his award winning performing career as the undisputed king of porn.
Ever the innovators, the folks at Shane’s World are trying something new these days. With “Shane’s World 31†they have introduced a new character. The movie, “The Life & Times of Drunky Bear†mirrors a style popularized by MTV’s “Jackass†series. New Shane’s World publicist Calli Cox stated “We found a group of friends and caught them doing their crazy stunts on tape. Then we took it to the next level and added sex that everyone can relate to, appreciate, and enjoy. Not only do these friends shock viewers with their spontaneous ideas, but they are also the ones involved in the sex. Why-
Because they want to! They are what Johnny Knoxville would be if cable allowed it.†Although #31 follows the path set by previous numbers in the series, the latest edition also adds something new. “Shane’s World is continuing to market their product to the younger college crowd. However, now instead of just mixing porn stars, sex, and fun, we’ve added the elements of comedy, reality, and even a little shock value,†said Cox. “We feel that Drunky the Bear will be the beginning of a new genre of adult entertainment,†Cox added. “Our goal is to produce material that is different, but just as good as what is out there. We’ve done that with Drunky the Bear.â€
Elegant Angel announced back in April that sexy Brit Layla Jade was the new Buttwoman. With her first movie, “Layla Jade Is Born to be Buttwoman†set to hit shelves in last September; ElA has her out doing the full media tour. One of the stops on her press tour was right here in Pipeline. Lay and I did our third interview that can be read in its entirety on this site. The first movie isn’t even out and there are already plans for a second Layla/Buttwoman movie planned. In addition to this great honor, Layla has been doing some great work for other companies. She is back in the States and still shooting as a free agent so we should see her in a lot of projects over the next few months. Her web site, www.laylajade.com is also finally up and running after many trails and tribulations.
Former Seymore Butts contract girl McKayla Matthews has been spotted again. With Seymore tied up with his legal battles, McKayla took a few months off to get herself focused on her next career move. As a prime free agent, the beautiful blonde will be making a trip back to LA later this month to start shooting again. By phone McKayla told me that she would be interested in a contract and hopes to talk with a few companies about just such a deal. In the meantime, she has some shoots lined up with some very high profile directors and is in the running for at least one high profile project that you’ll be reading about farther down this page.
Another former Contract Girl is on her way back into porn. Jessica Darlin was one of the original Extreme Girls and after taking some time off, she is on the fast track to regaining her popularity. Starting things off with a bang, the sexy blonde babe has set up shoots with Jules Jordan and Lexington Steele with plans to work for a number of other top directors very soon. Welcome back Jessica, we can’t wait to see more of you.
After a six month hiatus, Extreme Associates’ controversial Tom Zupko is back behind the camera. His latest effort, Ass Alien, is as strange as ever and promises to be Zupko’s funniest effort to date as well. Ass Alien, stars Extreme contract girl Veronica Caine, Samantha Sterlyng, Summer Cummings, Caramel, Britni, Savannah Rain, Misty and newcomer Joe Daddy as the teenage extraterrestrial from the planet Caboose more interested in Earth girls than he is the native sluts. Zupko elaborates: “The Ass Alien steals one of his Dad’s inter-dimensional “joy saucers” and visits various periods in Earth’s History that feature some of Earth’s most notorious seductresses, including Juliet, Cleopatra, and Veronica Caine herself. The Ass Alien blasts them with his Ass Gun which turns them into ravenous anal freaks, and then pretends he’s a director on a porno set. Ass Alien, you see, was weaned on hardcore American porn and is being chased across the Universe by Sheba the Intergalactic Bounty Hunter who must make him spill stalactite by his 201st Star date or he will remain a Cabossian larva the rest of his life. She always arrives too late, when he’s already dropped like 15 loads.”
While they may lack some of the punch and shock value of a Zupko feature, there are two other movies that fans of adult features should look out for this month. Digital Playground is set to release “Rush†with Devon. This is the second Nic Andrews feature for the company and features some amazing gun battles in between sexual romps form Devon, Alexa Rae and Avy Scott. For those of you who really want to be impressed, mark September 23rd on your calendar and pick up Ass Collector from Evil Angel. Rocco Siffredi has outdone himself this time. I was given and advanced copy and pulled the following comments from an Evil Angel press release. “And one of our favorite reviewers, Roger T. Pipe, was perhaps the most impressed after his private viewing of Rocco’s latest movie.
“Unforgettable, groundbreaking and nothing short of amazing….   Ass Collector sets a new standard for adult features.” “It is unlike any adult film you will see this year. It has everything, a compelling story, amazing locations, fine acting, technical brilliance and sex that will blow you away.  There is no question in my mind, Ass Collector is the best adult feature of 2002, it’s the best adult movie in years. ” —  Roger T. Pipe, www.rogreviews.com†Look for The Ass Collector at your local video store or on your favorite internet site September 23, 2003. From Rocco Siffredi Productions and Evil Angel Productions
The battle between Digital Playground and Digital Sin continues to give us some of the hottest interactive DVDs on the market. DP announced this week that Janine would be the star of their next Virtual Sex DVD. No guys for the long time Vivid beauty, but we are promised some anal action. DS has porn’s other blonde superstar lined up for the next My Plaything disc. Jenna Jameson has already done one MP disc, but this time she’s going to take some real dick. (The last one had Jenna banged by Vivid Girl Briana Banks.) Both discs promise to give fans a closer look at both blonde bombshell. Now when are we going to see Virtual Sex with Aurora Snow or My Plaything- Serenity?
It seems that porn is really becoming a family business. First it was David and Davina Hardman, then Angela and Ice D’Angelo, now we get a father and son porn performing duo. (Not to mention Houston and her grand daughter Bridgette Kerkove) Sin City is set to shoot a feature staring porn stud Dillon Day and his father. The movie, directed by Michael Raven and called “Island Rain†has attracted global media attention thanks to the father/son tandem. Sin City’s Scott Justice offered his take on the novelty, “Never before have a father and son appeared in sexual roles in an adult Production. Sin City is committed to provide the consumer with new and novel sexual scenarios. “Performer Dillon Day, who will be working with his father, suggested that this Production will strengthen his family ties. “My dad and I have always been very close. This will just make our relationship that much tighter. I mean how many guys can say that they’ve watched their dad receive oral?” The real question is how many of us would particularly want to see dear old dad getting a hummer?
In a last minute bit of news, performer/director Brandon Iron has landed at Red Light District. I’ve been told that this is an exclusive deal that has Brandon locked up along with Vince Vouyer and David Luger. It also ends Brandon’s brief time with West Coast Productions who still have Michael Stefano, but are down one white Canadian guy. Any ideas as to who might fill that void?
As I write this, the possibility of another baseball work stoppage looms large. While this would be a horrible thing for sports fans everywhere, it can’t measure to the loss of a true sports legend. Chick Hearn has passed and the sports world is worse of for it. Growing up in Southern California and hating the Lakers, Chick was the voice of the enemy, but oh what a voice. Listening to basketball will never be as vivid, as magical and will never, ever be the same. As a friend of mine pointed out, Chick was probably greeted at the pearly gates by Johnny Most who bought him his first afterlife beer. Oh think of the pick up games they will be able to call now.
In closing I want to say thank you all for reading. I hope you are all healthy, happy and safe. As we say good bye to summer, don’t forget to show off that tan before it fades. And ladies, don’t go putting away the short skirts just yet, we still have several months to ogle those fine legs you have.
