CANOGA PARK, Calif. — A case of mistaken identity — with Rozlyn Papa from “The Bachelor” and now-retired Czech hardcore performer Lucy B. — gave Mercenary Pictures’ “Pole Position: Lex POV 1″ its 15 minutes of fame.
Rumors surfaced that Papa was featured in a clip on an X-rated tube site. However, the scene was later identified as the Lucy B./Lexington Steele coupling from “Pole Position: Lex POV 1.”
E! News contacted Steele, who confirmed the six-year-old scene did not feature Papa.
“I feel for Rozlyn, because that is not her,” Steele, owner of Mercenary Pictures, Hall of Famer and three time AVN Male Performer of the Year, told E! News. “The girl in the video is from the Czech Republic, all of the girls in this release were shot on location in Prague. That girl has never traveled to the United States of America.”

Google and China continue to duke it out over web freedom.
Google may decide to close all operations in China if an agreement cannot be reached concerning China’s regulation of search results. Closing would greatly affect Google’s partners in China; who would then have to either find a different search partner to power their tools or filter search results themselves in order to comply with China’s regulations.
Although this has been brought about by Google refusing to censor it’s search results in China, the decision has been applauded. At a March 2 hearing on Internet freedom in Washington, D.C., assistant Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL) praised Google for its decision.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt is confident a solution will be found.
ICANN has deferred a decision for at least 70 days on whether to create the “.xxx” domain name as an online red-light district.
The board of ICANN – the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers – has given its chief executive and chief lawyer two weeks to recommend options for the agency to handle the controversial issue. ICANN, which was meeting in Kenya, oversees the allocation of Internet addresses globally.
The .xxx domain campaign has seen three strikes already from ICANN. If denied again after the 70 day layover, this would be the fourth. “.xxx” is a proposed top-level domain (TLD) intended as a voluntary option for sexually explicit sites on the Internet. The name is inspired by the former MPAA and BBFC “X” rating, now commonly applied to pornographic movies as “XXX”. ICANN announced in June 1, 2005 that .xxx would become a sponsored top-level domain similar to .aero, .travel, etc. but it was never implemented. On May 10, 2006, ICANN reversed its decision, and on March 30, 2007, ICANN rejected the .xxx proposal a third time.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation filed suit with Cal/OSHA last December claiming the adult industry ““refused to take any steps to protect its workers from disease spread by blood borne pathogens”.
“The adult film industry has steadfastly refused to take any steps to protect its workers from diseases spread by blood borne pathogens, resulting in thousands of employees becoming infected with sexually transmitted diseases. Clarification and enhanced enforcement of the rules are called for,” wrote AIDS Healthcare Foundation President Michael Weinstein.
Cal/OSHA has recommended the creation of an advisory committee to consider amending section 5193 of the California labor code “in order to give greater protection to employees in the adult film industry.”
Although, the million dollar decision is still not quite upon us. The standards board will decide whether or not to create an advisory committee at 10 a.m. March 18 at the Costa Mesa City Council Chambers located at 77 Fair Drive in Costa Mesa.
The board will consider amending section 5193 of the California labor code “in order to give greater protection to employees in the adult film industry.” Section 5193 applies to all establishments where occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials is possible.
Ben Stiller shocked the 25th annual Independent Spirit Awards with Porn.
Stiller invited three porn stars on stage while reading the list of nominees for the night’s final award. The star packed audience was floored as Ben joked he wanted to “maximize the ratings” by adding simulated sex to his presentation.
Stiller said:
“It’s being broadcast live, it’s going long and we are late.
“It’s about 1.15am on the east coast. One thing is clear – anyone channel surfing at this hour is looking for porn.
“So in order to maximize the ratings for tonight’s final award, we have some porn stars being as sexy as they can be.”
Two of Stiller’s sex stars were introduced as Maggie Jizz-and-balls and Philip Semen Hoffman, much to surprise of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Philip Seymour Hoffman who were spotted laughing.

After John Holmes and Harry Reems, the next two most recognizable male faces from the early days of adult films would probably be Jamie Gillis and John Leslie—and fondly enough, the two were best friends.
“I remember the day I met him,” Leslie told AVN. “It was my first trip to New York in 1976, and I was staying with this woman, Sandy, who was an agent in the business at that time, and we went to this off-Broadway show that was about the porno business, and Jamie was there with other people and that’s the first time we met. I’d seen him in the movies and I was a fan of his, and we hit it off right away, and soon after that, I cooked my first meal for him at Sandy’s place. I’ve cooked for him countless times over the years. The dinner was filet of sole Claudine; I saw it on TV, so I figured I’d just try it, and it came out real good and we had a nice dinner. So we remained close.
“We were on a number of sets together, and always had a good time, and he actually lived with me for a little while here in Marin, and he was with me the day Ecstasy Girls swept the AFA awards in 1980,” Leslie continued. “I’ll never forget that night. It was a wonderful night. Everybody loved what happened. Everything was well-deserved, and everybody felt that way. It was [Harold Lime's] movie, and the feeling that night was just warm and cozy and fuzzy and wonderful. Everybody was happy for them for winning those awards, and we were staying at the Holiday Inn, I think it was on Hollywood Boulevard, at that time, and the next day we were going to travel to—I was going back home, and we were traveling to San Francisco with [Harold] and Jesie St. James and a bunch of other people; we were going to do a movie up here. So before we went to the airport, we met in this little lounge where we had a bite of breakfast or something, and I was talking to Jamie, and I said, ‘What a wonderful night that was.’ I didn’t want it to end, it was such a beautiful night, and I remember him saying to me, ‘It was bittersweet, you know.’ So we went to the airport in Burbank and we’re together and we both see this woman, and Jamie goes, ‘Oh,’ and he goes over and starts talking to her, and I’m right with him, and her and I lock eyes, and that was it. That’s my wife. So we got on the plane, and Kathleen and I were sitting and talking, and we weren’t talking to everybody else, and actually everybody left the plane, and the next thing I knew, they were tapping us on the shoulder, saying, ‘You’ve got to get off the plane now.’ And we’ve been together every since. And Jamie felt very much a part of our relationship, and very close to us, and obviously he was at our house many, many, many times once she moved up here and we married and everything. It was part of how close we were; all this stuff built into our relationship, you know. And he always respected me so much for what I did and my paintings and my music, and obviously my acting and directing.”
Another highly recognizable face would have been Ron Jeremy’s, and he too has good memories of Gillis.
“When I first got in the business,” Jeremy recalled, “Harry Reems had retired, John Holmes was in and out of jail, and so the guy that I looked up to the most was really Jamie Gillis; he was like the number one guy when I got into porn. He was the top guy. He was like number one, Marc Stevens was like number two, and then John Leslie was number three. Jamie was number one. He was also a Jewish boy, we used to talk about that as well, and also was a college graduate; he went to Columbia. And Jamie kind of took me under his wing a little bit; he helped me get a part in Dracula Exotica where I played a henchman. My first dialogue scene was with Jamie, and he had sex with Marlene Willoughby on the big feast table, and I did a sex scene later on in the film.” Read the rest of this entry »

When a film debuts at the “Cannes Film Festival” with an opening masturbation scene, heads are going to turn.
Paramount has picked up “Middle Men”, a film written by George Gallo about three men who dive into mid-‘90’s internet porn. It is scheduled to release later this year.
The main character is a straight-and-narrow businessman who builds the first online billing company dealing exclusively with adult entertainment and finds himself in the middle of a whirlwind filled with starlets, conmen, Russian mobsters, federal agents and international terrorists — all while trying to hold on to his marriage and family. The cast includes Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi, Kevin Pollak, James Caan, Gabriel Macht and Terry Crews.
In an online interview, producer Christoper Mallick notes that a character is based on an old business associate who happened to write the original code for credit card billing.
