Sherman’s 10 Random acts of common sense that “they” don’t want you to read:


 

1: In this day and age of Twitter and so forth, what Is the average life expectancy of a gossip story, and {unlike a movie or a piece of software or a song} who can actually claim credit for spinning something. And how can bloggers expect to stay ahead when there is no behind?

 2: More Twitter: Why would any blogger need to surf the web for any type of story to pour gasoline on? Twitter’s better then finding oil in the ground, in fact you’d get dizzy trying to keep up with all the funny shit people post on there. And it’s NOT gossip.

 3: What were more then one winner at the recent Xbiz awards trying to say when they casually mentioned that “at least they actually got their awards” unlike another award show where they won something, but haven’t seen it yet…

 4:  With most Porn stars shooting less then once a week and feature dancers barely working that, where is everyone going?

 5: With recent stories of rage from a couple of male porn actors, and some wanting to have then banned claiming steroids or drug use, how many female porn stars show up daily fucked up, drunk or both on sets and no one says a word. What about the agents who look the other way, or {in some cases} contribute to the cause simply to get their commissions?

 6:With Porn stars taking a pay cut, are the agents doing the same?

 7: What type of sign are they sending out when some of the biggest web sites around? That produce new content spend 4 or 5 times as much time or more on shooting set ups then actual sex nowadays?

 8: Why are we seeing more and more vintage porn on line then current stuff?

 9:  What was Tiger Woods really saying during his speech?

 10:  How much of an academic education do you think someone has that’s convinced a celebrity will give up his or her’s family to be with them? Especially since the famous person may have paid you for your time…

Sherman’s Twenty Thoughts that Make you Think for 2009


     While Twitter and Text messaging pretty much re programmed most Porn Stars in 2009, Twitter Allowed them to gossip, rant or just act plain stupid like never before, while texting gave them a new way to skip facing any obligations, commitments jobs, you know, that Adult stuff. Nothing beats good ole one on one conversation, or does it.? Here’s a few highlights {or light lights} from Sherman’s journey thru Porn Valley in 2009. The names have been changed to protect the Chicken…

 1: The Hot Blonde who skipped the meeting to develop a marketing plan for her career and asked a week later: “How’s the Marketing going?”

 2: The Hot little Brunette who’s idea of taking care of business was by trying to explain that just because she offered someone a blow job, didn’t mean she was going to his suck his dick.

 3: “Who do I have to blow to get nominated?” was the battle cry from too many performers to list. When it was suggested that they put that much effort into their careers instead of just getting nominated, at least 3 responded: “Why, my career is not that important!!”

 4: “What else can I stick in my ass that will shock people?” wonders another starlet who’d just explained that she once put a miniature bowling bowl in her ass….

 5: “Is it ok to “rehearse “ an anal scene before actually doing an anal scene, that doesn’t count as actually doing anal does it? “ Wonders another starlet. {And yes she signed a release for the “rehearsal”}

 6: “I was fucking a friend at home, and he asked me if I was comfortable. I thought that was a strange question until later I realized he was fucking me in my ass. I didn’t notice or feel his cock in my ass.”  Said another starlet who doesn’t do anal on camera.

 7: “You won’t let anyone know I did this job for 200.00  less then what I tell people my rate is,”  says another star who turned a trick, adding: “I don’t want to get a bad reputation.”

 8:”Are you trying to ruin me?” screams another star in another private matter: Seems the starlet was an hour and half late for an hour gig, stuttering, shaking and explaining how she had to hurry up for her next job. When the John posted a “review” of her, stating that she was a great piece of ass, while mentioning she was an hour and half late, said starlet flipped out, explaining: “My reputation will be destroyed,”  adding : “ take it down {the review}”.  He left the review up, she called back a short time later and offered him a second go round. He declined.

 9: “That’s not mine” says another star when a crack pipe was found in her hotel room. When explained that she was the only person staying in the room with her dog, she had to think about it, then wondered out loud: “I forgot where I left mine.”

 10:  “Do you have any friends who might want to rehearse a bukake with me?” wonders another starlet. When informed that an average bukake included at least 20 guys, she laughed, explaining she’d blown that many guys on a dare.

 11:  “You won’t tell anyone about this will you?” wonders another star getting ready to shoot a POV scene during a recent content shoot. “My boyfriend {who runs her site} would kill me if he found out I was working with you.”

 12: “I don’t care who’s dick I suck” says another annoyed starlet waiting to shoot her sex scene on a set that’s run behind schedule. Adding: “We gotta do this now, I’m already late. I have to take care of my dentist so he can fix my teeth.”

 13: “Can you show him how I like getting fucked in the ass” says another star to the director on another set. Seems the star was.frustrated that the male talent was having problems satisfying her anal cravings.

 14: “Don’t you know how to suck dick” wonders another director in mid scene, to a very well known starlet on a Big feature. “Better then you know how to direct” replies the starlet, adding, “I’ll suck off everyone in this room before I touch you.” The rest of the scene went off with out a hitch.

 15: “You have my boyfriend’s permission to do what you want to me” explained another starlet, “he won’t get out of jail for at least 10 years.” What did he go to jail for wondered the lucky dude? “He caught me cheating on him, adding:  “So what do you want to do first?”

 16: “What came first, the chicken or the egg?” was overheard by an actress walking by a discussion on a set. “Am I working with a Chicken today?’ wonders said starlet, interrupting the discussion,   adding: “My agent never tells me what I’m doing or who I’m working with.”. After pondering the thought, she has one more question: “Does he {the chicken} have a current test?”

 17: I’ll suck your cock if put this up on youtube.” Replies another starlet when asked if she felt she was getting a fair shake from the media in the middle of an interview.  No idea how many views the clip got.

 18: “I can’t do that for free,” notes another starlet, when asked to do an interview, “my agent’s gotta make something on this.”

 19:  “What do you mean I’m not booked,” ponders another, “I booked this directly with you,”  When it was explained that the Producer wanted to do the right thing and pay the agent their due commission , “He {the agent}said you weren’t available, so I booked someone else, states the producer,  who ends up booking the agent’s girlfriend.

 20: “Please destroy those photos, they’ll get me divorced”, when asked which photos she was referring to, her initial response was, “you know, the ones of me blowing everybody” Adding: “I’ll tell you what: I’ll blow you if you destroy those shots.”  “Can I grab a couple of shots of you blowing me?” wonders the lucky shutter bug, “Of course.” Repiles the desperate star.

       And that’s the way it was for 2009, what can we expect in 2010? A donkey perhaps? Forget I asked… See you in Vegas at AEE…

Is Piracy killing the Porn Business,or Ignorance?


      I was recently speaking with Dr.X, our esteemed editor in charge of something, of what I’m not really  sure. That’s another discussion, anyway, we were discussing the persistent stories of so called “secret meetings” taking place all over Porn Valley regarding Piracy, it’s effect on the Adult Entertainment and their bottom line. Now he {Dr.X] has been involved in one form or another with this industry for 20 plus years, so I think he might have an idea of what he is talking about. His thoughts on the so called “SECRET” meetings?  “Secret”? What’s the BIG secret? Piracy? Is that a Secret?  Not last time I checked. No, this community {the Adult Entertainment Industry} should be asking a few questions about these so called “secret” meetings:  If this is a situation that affects the entire community, why isn’t the ENTIRE community allowed to participate?

     For those of you outside this community, let’s expose a couple of basic realities, shall we:  

      First: The toughest problem facing combating this situation is simple,  you will NEVER, I repeat NEVER get the entire community together on anything {even something as serious at the Piracy issue facing everyone} as long as you have individuals putting together “secret” meetings like this. These people holding “Secret” meetings can BS you all day long, issue pretty press releases, but the reality is simple: The community is so fragmented, always has been, always will be,  it’s always on display at every convention you go to, every industry function, agency, EVERYTHING.  Piracy is something that affects every individual on every level, so yes while everyone has a different perspective, we all must have the same perspective to combat piracy.

     Second: Until individuals like the ones putting these “secret” meetings together understand that “WE” {the entire community} not ME {me. Myself and I] have a serious issue to deal with, trust me, this issue will go NO where fast. You individuals who’ve been a little more successful then some others need to learn to RESPECT those who may have not been as successful as you, RESPECT  their points of view, not everyone is going to agree on everything, but, I think if said individuals spent less time in Secret meetings, and more time reaching out to other aspects of the community, you might be surprised at the outcome.

     Third: This is a very complex and difficult issue, I certainly don’t have a solution, but I think if you combine all aspects of this community together, definite inroads can be made to combat the issue. If said individuals think that by having a select few people meet in secrecy will do any good, in reality, it will do more harm then good…

     Fourth:  This community includes all the Performers, you are the most visible, you are ultimately the ones who’s lives will be most impacted, less companies producing means less job opportunities, which means less work, yes kids it’s that simple.

     Fifth:  This is NOT a situation that is EXCLUSIVE to anyone, the longer you treat it as such, the more DIFFICULT the issue becomes to address for EVERYONE…

       These are some things those who organize “Secret” meetings might want to think about when they get ready to meet again…

The Porn Party: Sinking Deeper into the Feces


    

      I haven’t written anything for a while, because, {as far as I am Concerned} there’s been nothing to write about, until now. This subject has been discussed a lot amongst industry insiders: What’s happened to the Porn party scene? Is there a scene? Was there one? Where did it go? If you were at the Vice Club this past Thursday in Hollywood, and actually paid attention, you would have noticed a few things: A-the Place was packed: B-Nobody was there. C-The only legitimate media were the first people out the door. D-There were people doing location scouting for a major major “intimate” event coming up, and while they were impressed with the venue. The word most often used to describe the chaos inside was “JOKE”.  Suffice to say, this next event will NOT be at this venue. But a few questions scream to be answered:

      With all the publicist’s, promoters, insiders, etc, involved in putting this event together, and, no disrespect to any of them, or anyone there, but where were the stars? Established Performers, Fan faves, what ever you need to call them.

          Take out the LA Direct models, and what did you have?  Not much truthfully. Why? I spoke to several established stars, and while many cite schedules, work and so forth, as possible reasons for not attending, the main thing repeated over and over and over and over and over was simple, who are all these photographers, video crews and other so called “journalist’s”? At Thursday night’s event, there was, {according to one 1 established publicist present}, “maybe 2, possibly 3 legitimate news outlets” there, the rest were, well, no one really knows, photographers of some sort, Video crews, shooting for what? No one really knew, no one was in charge, they just kinda ran wild. If you are a fan, or a promoter, I can tell you from speaking directly with the more established performers, they will continue to skip everything, and encourage their fellow performers to stay home as well. Most agents, {while refusing to speak on the record}, quietly encourage their clients to stay home as well. Publicist’s as well, want to get their clients Maximum exposure, but when they can’t explain to their client who most of these people are, well, what would you do? The other question that certain publicist’s have is simple, If  I have my client attend this event, who’s doing follow up with these so called “journalist’s” and verifying that they are actually posting a story from the event? I can tell you from first hand experience, at least 75% of the photographers in attendance will NEVER post anything, the ones that do, will throw a gallery together some place, not identify the performers, or mention the event itself, some will post photos on their myspace or facebook page, we won’t even get into the atrocious quality {or lack there of} the actual image itself.

         What you will end up with is what you have now: The same 4 girls at every party, getting grabbed, harassed or disrespected by these so called Journalist’s, {that no one seems to know who or why they are there}, the legitimate media will show up less and less, you will have less talent then what you have now, {if that’s possible}and then, maybe, just maybe, the powers that be, {and you know who you are} will either correct the problem, or sink deeper and deeper into the feces….Not before sending out a press release calling the event a smashing success, it was, if you like feces…

Sherman’s Way: Midweek {or is that Mid Life} Crisis and The Birth of the after life before it’s conception


Who was that Masked Man?

Who was that Masked Man?

Michael Jackson was laid to rest yesterday, can I have my tv back now please? And good news kids, I have a Mikey connection, sound crazy? Yes, but true. Seems a friend of mine did some work for him, and he himself stopped by to pick up the work, sat on the very same couch I’ve sat on many times, used the same toilet I did, can I get a book deal now please?

     Am I the only person to notice that more and more Porn companies are paying for banners on free tube sites? What are they saying? Is it awards seasons already? Is there a season for awards in Porn? I’ve gotten no less then 5 separate female performers calling, emailing or texting, all wanting to know who do they have to “take care of” to get nominated? When I mentioned that the entire thing was politics, they agreed, and repeated their original question, where do I send them? Sorry to hear about Richard de Montfort, a good man and a Good photographer. How young do I have to be to not worry about dropping dead right now? Seems the Angel of death is busy, not discriminating and shows no signs of slowing down. Can someone with intelligence please tell me if this is a sign of sorts? Is the end of the world coming? I thought that was the invention of the internet? No wait, it was downloading, Speaking of signs, I was recently sent some pix of a model, nude shots, who was on her way to Los Angeles to break into the biz, when I called her, she said she wasn’t going to do any bottomless shots, anything dirty or obscene and definitely no “penetrating” Now if she sent nudes, but won’t shoot any, what do you thing her chances are out here?

     The 2 800 pound Gorillas will smash into one another this week end, when Xbiz and AVN host novelty shows back to back, ten years ago, this would have been a dream, today? Well ask me after the show….sorry shows…

Heaven or Hell, which for you?


Who is this Masked Man

    Who is this Masked Man

{Please note, this was actually written awhile ago, and updated at the bottom}

June 25th, 2009 will be one of those “where were you” days, when,
the world lost not 1, but 2 icons, the internet reportedly ground to a halt,
with so many people trying to log on at the same time, TMZ was providing faster and {as it turns out} more accurate information {for the most part} then CNN. which is where we begin this blog…..
     Death, the end, or just the beginning? What happens to ones soul when the body expires? Depends on your religion I suppose, but what abour your legacy? What will people think of or remember about you when you are gone? The cool people say they don’t care, but that’s
b.s., we as humans, tend to put up a bold sheild, but as the angel of death comes closer well, let’s just say or perspectives change. 2 Cases in point:
     According to Wikipedia, Farrah Fawcett was an American actress. A multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee, Fawcett rose to international fame when she first appeared as private investigator Jill Munroe in the TV series Charlie’s  Angels in 1976. Fawcett later appeared off-Broadway to the approval of critics and in highly rated television movies in roles often challenging (The Burning Bed, Nazi Hunter: The Beate Klarsfeld Story, Poor Little Rich Girl:  The Barbara Hutton Story, Margaret Bourke-White) and sometimes unsympathetic (Small Sacrifices). Fawcett was also a  pop culture figure whose hairstyle was emulated by millions of young women and whose poster sales broke records, making her an international sex symbol in the 1970s and 1980s. While her impact was particularly strong on the teens of the  1970s (Generation Jones), her appeal spreads over multiple generations.She was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006, and  began treatment, including chemotherapy and surgery.[35] Four months later, on her 60th birthday, the Associated Press
wire service reported that Fawcett was, at that point, cancer free.[36]

Less than four months later, in May 2007, Fawcett brought a small digital video camera to document a doctor’s office  There, she was told a malignant polyp was found in the area where she had been treated for the initial cancer.  Doctors contemplated whether to implant a radiation seeder (which differs from conventional radiation and is  used to treat other types of cancer).Fawcett’s U.S. doctors told her that she would require a colostomy.  Instead, Fawcett traveled to Germany for treatments described variously in the press as “holistic”,  ”aggressive”, and “alternative”. There, Dr. Ursula Jacob prescribed a treatment including surgery to remove the anal tumor, and a course of perfusion and embolization for her liver cancer by Doctors Claus Kiehling and Thomas Vogl in Germany, and chemotherapy back in Fawcett’s home town of Los Angeles. Although initially the
tumors were regressing, their reappearance a few months later necessitated a new course, this time including laser ablation therapy and chemoembolization. Aided by friend Alana Stewart, Fawcett documented the highs and lows of her battle with the disease. In early April 2009, Fawcett, back in the United States, was rushed to a hospital, reportedly unconscious and in critical condition. Subsequent reports, however, indicated that the severity of her condition was not as dire as first reported. On April 6, the Associated Press reported that her cancer had metastasized
to her liver. Fawcett had learned of this development in May 2007 and her subsequent treatments in Germany had  targeted this as well. The report denied that she was unconscious, and explained that the reason for Fawcett’s hospitalization was not her cancer but a painful abdominal hematoma that had been the result of a minor procedure, according to the Los Angeles cancer specialist treating Fawcett, Dr. Lawrence Piro. Her spokesperson emphasized she was not “at death’s door”, adding “She remains in good spirits with her usual sense of humor … She’s been
in great shape her whole life and has an incredible resolve and an incredible resilience.” Three days later, on April 9, Fawcett was released from the hospital, picked up by longtime companion O’Neal, and, according to
her doctor, was “walking and in great spirits and looking forward to celebrating Easter at home.” A month later, on May 7, Fawcett was reported as being critically ill, with Ryan O’Neal quoted as saying that she
now spends her days at home, on an IV, often asleep. The Los Angeles Times reported that Fawcett was in the last stages of her cancer and had the chance to see her son Redmond in April 2009, although shackled and under supervision, as he was then incarcerated, Fawcett seemed not to notice. Her 91-year-old father, James Fawcett, flew out to Los Angeles
to visit with Farrah, his only living child (her sole sibling, sister Diane, died in 2001). Her doctor, Lawrence Piro, and Fawcett’s friend and Angels co-star Kate Jackson — a breast cancer survivor — appeared together on The Today Show dispelling tabloid-fueled rumors, including the suggestions that Fawcett had ever been in a coma, had ever reached 86 pounds, and had ever given up her fight against the disease or lost the will to live. Jackson decried such demoralizing fabrications, saying they “really do hurt a human being and a person like Farrah”. Piro recalled when it became necessary for Fawcett to undergo treatments that would cause her to lose her hair,
acknowledging that “Farrah probably has the most famous hair in the world”, but acknowledged that it is not a trivial matter for any cancer patient, whose hair “affects [one's] whole sense of who [they] are”. Of the
documentary, Jackson averred that Fawcett “didn’t do this to show that ’she’ is unique, she did it to show that “we” are all unique …  Farrah died at approximately 9:28 a.m, PDT on June 25, 2009, in the intensive care unit of Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California, with O’Neal and Stewart by her side. Farrah’s documentory aired on May 15th, 2009, {and subsequently re-aired on MSNBC,Bravo and Oxygen. The 2 hour
documentary filmed by Farrah and long time friend Alana Stewart was seen by more then 9 million and was meant to be her gift to others, to help and inspire them.

     Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)was he seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his debut onto the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1969, then began a solo career in 1971  while still a member of the group. Referred to as the “King of Pop”[2] in subsequent years, his 1982 album Thriller remains the world’s best-selling record of all time[3] and four of his other solo studio albums are among the world’s best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995). In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV.
The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as “Beat It”, “Billie Jean” and “Thriller”—widely credited with  transforming the music video from a promotional tool into an art form—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as “Black or White” and “Scream” made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances
and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists across several generations, particularly Generation X, Generation Y, and Jackson’s own generation—Generation Jones. Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundations, charity singles, and support of 39 charities. Other aspects of his personal life, including his often changing appearances and eccentric behavior, generated significant controversy which damaged his public image. Though he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993,
the criminal investigation was closed due to lack of evidence and Jackson was not charged. The singer had experienced health concerns since the early 1990s and conflicting reports regarding the state of his finances since the late 1990s. Jackson married twice and fathered three children, all of which caused further controversy. In 2005, Jackson was tried
and acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges. One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for “Most Successful Entertainer of All
Time”—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career, and the sale of 750 million albums worldwide. Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, apparently after suffering a cardiac arrest Jackson had intended
to return to live performance. At the time of his death he was in the middle of preparations for This Is It, a series of 50 concerts that would have been held in London.  The exact cause of Jackson’s death is still pending, and in death, like his life, many questions, much speculation and rampent inuendo will sadly taint his legacy, {which is already quite littered with much speculation, many questions and rampent inuendos.}
      Now let’s go back to the beginning of this column, when our time comes {and no one gets out alive}do you want people
to remember your material accomplishments,{how much wealth you accoumulated in your life}your missteps, your contributions
to society, your compassion, your desires, your family’s legacy and so forth with a sense of appreciation and/or respect or will your legacy be, shall we say, like a work in progress, {one never to be completed} where justifacation or explanation cloud each and every perception of your very exsistence? On June 25th, 2009, 2 very unique people passed from one place to another, Farrah Fawcett’s death was, sadly some what
predicted, In her final days she left behind a documentary hoping to reveal a very ununique individual, suffering thru a terrible decease {anal cancer} like millions, hoping to inspire and possibly raise awareness to their plight. It’s been said Charlie finally has his favorite Angel home in Heaven, and everyone who spoke of Farrah on this date, spoke of sadness of her passing,
compassion for her family, and very fond memories to pass along regarding her. Micheal Jackson was an amazing artist, gifted singer, dancer, musician and entertainer, and possibly much more. Everyone has a favorite Jackson tune, knows the moon walk, and has seen a video or live performnce. All of that aside, so much {good, bad or indifferent} has been written, spoken, posted, published, and every other form of reproduction possible directly from Jackson {or someone representing him, directly or indirectly} that we could engage in discussion forever and still not reach  an accurate conclusion of what or who Michael Jackson was, how he lived his life, and more sadly, how he left this place for  another. Because in Death, {as in life} rampent inuendo, much speculation, explanation and in the very end, the truth will {more then likely} never be known. Is this the way Micheal would have wanted it?  Probably not, but in a weird sense of Hell the very people responsible for his passing will create and present their version of “the truth” and do their best to convince you that it is fact.
    And, like it or not, the cynical society we live in, will ridicule his memory, he will make someone more money dead then he ever did alive, be given more respect and admiration now that he’s gone, {that he should have received while still alive.}
     UPDATE: It has been over a week since his death, and…..There is a memorial planned for this week, 2 autopsies have been performed, numerous individuals have come forth will countless theories, all saying some what he same thing, what will  ultimately happen? Time will tell, Farrah Fawcett was laid to rest quietly this week, plenty of tears, fond memories and dignity intact, while the MJ saga has only just begun….
