Behind The Scenes With Sarah Palin

From The Huffington Post, Newsweek's Special Election Project comes the real Sarah Palin. She met staff members in a towel.

At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Palin was completely unfazed by the boys' club fraternity she had just joined. One night, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to her hotel room to brief her. After a minute, Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. "I'll be just a minute," she said.

She raised William Ayers before the campaign signed off on it:

Palin launched her attack on Obama's association with William Ayers, the former Weather Underground bomber, before the campaign had finalized a plan to raise the issue. McCain's advisers were working on a strategy that they hoped to unveil the following week, but McCain had not signed off on it, and top adviser Mark Salter was resisting.

And she spent far more on clothes than was reported:

NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family--clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

Finally, Steve Schmidt (who reportedly picked Palin as VP) would not let her speak on election night.

McCain himself rarely spoke to Palin during the campaign, and aides kept him in the dark about the details of her spending on clothes because they were sure he would be offended. Palin asked to speak along with McCain at his Arizona concession speech Tuesday night, but campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request.

Halloween Porn Party Tonight! Come On Down If You're In LA!

(Hollywood, CA) The Porn Halloween party of the decade continues to get better as SexZ Pictures has joined up with All Media Play as a co-sponsor of the Not Bewitched XXX Heaven & Hell Porn Bash which takes place Friday, October 31st 9pm at Social in Hollywood.

The inclusion of SexZ Pictures as a party co-host is always welcome news for the adult industry and will include a champagne toast and also add 100 additional free admissions for porn stars arriving before 11:15pm bringing the total number of complimentary admissions for porn stars to 250.

“We’ve done some great parties with All Media Play in the past and with our big movie ICON starring Hillary Scott out now, we wanted to have a little bit of fun on Halloween,” stated SexZ CEO Bo Kenney.

“Our Halloween porn party keeps getting bigger and better,” said Jeff Mullen of All Media Play/X-Play, “Having SexZ Pictures and ICON’s Hillary Scott in the house will add to the fun factor making this one of our truly great porn parties. Plus with Adam & Eve Pictures already on board, this is going to be fun”

All Media Play also confirmed news that reclusive internet entrepreneur Alan Cooper and his upstart Cabaret Productions based in Denver will also be a co-sponsor of the bash. “I’m flying in from Denver just to have some fun at this party and I’ll be buying some strong drinks all night long for some pretty girls,” Cooper said from his private jet while en route to San Diego before coming to LA.

Superstar Teagan Presley who stars as Tabitha in Not Bewitched XXX is excited about attending the party. “These guys throw the best parties and I am really excited that I will be there Halloween night. I can’t wait,” she said.

The Halloween night event promises to be an insane porn party of epic proportions and will kick off at 9PM as the red carpet on the Sunset Strip will see a steady stream of adult movie superstars, starlets, producers, directors, wannabees, fluffers, horrors and whores, making this the best porn party of the year.

Only the first 250 adult stars arriving by 11:15PM will receive complimentary VIP admission courtesy of SexZ Pictures, Adam & Eve, Cabaret Productions and All Media Play. Everybody else must pay.

“There is NO free guest list other than for the first 250 porn stars before 11:15pm but the sponsoring companies have already prepaid half of everybody’s admission as a special ($20) porn line has been arranged for industry members to quickly get whisked into the club,” Mullen said.

“It’s going to be insane and if you’re not a porn star please don’t ask to get in for free because it just won’t happen," stated Jeff Mullen of All Media Play/X-Play. Dates and friends of porn stars will be asked to pay $20.

Industry VIP room passes are very limited but will be passed out on the red carpet first to porn stars, then to industry members with girls in tow. (Hint: bring girls!) “The entire club will really be a big industry VIP,” said Scott David of All Media Play.

How To Bang A Porn Star, And What To Do With Her When You Get One

More Images Here

Porn Star Katja Kassin recently reached out to a fan on her MySpace page, giving a very in depth answer to a question that she no doubt gets 100 times a day. Fan boi wanted to know how you can have sex with a porn star. Her answer is quite insightful and in depth.

Katja Kassin blogs : I just got this question for somebody and since people ask me this all the time over and over again, I want to post it here for all to read:


How do I bang a pornstar?

Look, I’m not even talking about you necessarily, I’ve wanted to fuck a pornstar for years, without paying, just through efforts known as “game” (I hate that term)… I’m a good looking dude, I’m clever as all hell, funny as a muthafucka, I’m not asking for a handout. I just want to know where I need to place myself so that I may be in a position to try my own hand, even if its just to get shut down (sometimes half the fun, HA!)… And not a fucking strip club… I don’t even care if she’s a headliner or not…

K.


Katja responds:

Hello K.

I want to answer your question in my blog because I really feel like I want to explain this to you. You don’t understand that most adult actresses are total regular people in their personal lives. Yes, they kind of have a weird little job but when they go home after work they want and need the same things a civilian girl would ask for.

Speaking for myself I am never interested in “hooking up”. If I like somebody I will let them know and I need to find somebody interesting in their personality and their character as well. In the end this is totally random and how could you ever explain why two people fall for each other. because they are attracted to each other? Because they just click?

Most guys who end up being with a porn star never planned it. It just happens to be that way because they met her somewhere and they liked her enough to give her the benefit of the doubt that even beyond her kind of work they could see all that she has to offer (and not just talking about the obvious).

You seem to think that just because somebody is a “porn star” all they are about is of a sexual nature. That’s not true. Most girls want some attention, somebody that asks how their day was or gives them a call just to hear their voice. So if you are ever in a position that you want to go out with a “porn star” just try to treat her like you would treat any other girl. Don’t ask her too many questions about her work. If she wants you to know, she will tell you. give her the feeling that you care for her and trust her and also that you would stand up for her, that you will be there for her if she needs a friend.

If you just want a fuck buddy, I don’t know what to tell you. Just go to bars and clubs and keep trying. It seems to me that you only want to get with her simply cuz she’s a porn star. Most girls in my business will not appreciate that. When they go home from work, they take off their stripper heels and fishnets, throw on a sweater, put their hair in a pony tail and hope that somewhere along the way there will be a genuine guy who really, truly likes them for who they are as a person.

And one more thing: we have too much senseless, brainless and meaningless “banging” at work so all we mostly want is somebody that cares. Just think about it.

Morbid Story Of The Day - Family cremated mom on BBQ, Kept Benefits

Sheriff: Family Cremated Mom On BBQ, Kept Benefits
From Associated Press
October 15, 2008 3:30 PM EDT

CORNING, Calif. - Authorities say relatives of a deceased Tehama County woman cremated her remains on a makeshift barbecue and continued collecting her retirement checks.

Ramona Allmond's daughter and grandson were arrested Sunday on suspicion of embezzlement, elder abuse and disposing of a body without a permit, among other charges. They are being held at the Tehama County Jail in Red Bluff on $30,000 bail, with arraignment set for Thursday.

Sheriff's Capt. Paul Hosler says the 84-year-old Allmond likely had died of natural causes, though investigators are still trying to determine the cause of death.

Hosler says her daughter, 50-year-old Kathleen Allmond, and her grandson, 30-year-old Tony Ray, told investigators they left the body on her bedroom floor for a week before cremating the remains in their backyard fire pit. They then covered the pit and remains with soil and planted a tree on top, according to investigators. The family's home sits in the midst of a 10-acre olive grove, remote from neighbors.

Detectives say the daughter also fashioned a two-inch piece of her mother's skull into a necklace. Hosler said Ray took a photograph of Kathleen Allmond wearing the necklace, as well as a beaded wire tiara that she believed would ward off radio waves, to post on a social networking Web site.

"It gets really weird when you have a piece of mom's skull hanging around your neck," Hosler said. "I'm not aware of any religion that allows you to burn your family members in the backyard and collect their pension."

Investigators said they kept collecting her monthly retirement checks amounting to more than $25,000 since the elderly woman died in December.

Det. Richard Knox said they may have been trying to honor the woman's desire to die at home and be cremated.

Deputies arrested the pair after the dead woman's son asked deputies for a welfare check because he had not heard from his mother since December. Hosler said his suspicions were further aroused last week when he called and Kathleen Allmond pretended she was the 84-year-old woman.

Size Does Matter, Enlarge Now!

A Day In The Life

On a damp Friday morning in downtown Los Angeles in a chilly, rather shabby warehouse, a group of bearded, tattooed technicians haul cameras and lighting equipment up a flight of stairs. Several other camera crews getting ready to film. One group is here to shoot an episode of Top Chef, the culinary reality show presented by Padma Lakshmi (better known in Britain as Salman Rushdie's ex), another crew is from the E! entertainment channel, here to film an episode of Chelsea Lately, a late-night comedy chat show. But the people here also occupy a more notorious corner of the media industry. They are among the thousands of pornographic actors and film-makers living and working in the Los Angeles area: the sex professionals who turn private passions into everyday paid employment.

Today, Monique Alexander, one of the biggest names in porn, is starring in Teach Me, a Vivid Entertainment production directed by Paul Thomas - the industry's answer to Martin Scorsese. It is in many ways a typical adult feature. It has a small cast, a low budget, no real script and contains sex scenes that could be found in any number of similar releases.

Alexander is petite, pretty and blonde. Shortly after arriving on set she is engrossed in conversation with an assistant who is applying heavy black eyeliner. A few yards away stands her male co-star, a Canadian with a dyed-blond mohican stripe and a deep tan, who goes by the stage name of Voodoo.

Voodoo says he often films four or five sex scenes a week but varies his routine by working at weekends as a sky-diving instructor. He is married to another porn performer. When asked whether having frequent sexual encounters with other people has affected their marriage, he laughs dismissively. "I go home each day and we have more sex," he says. "We can't get enough of it."

Today, Alexander is playing a school teacher - albeit one providing tuition in a black negligee - who seduces Voodoo and then his girlfriend. Although there is no script, Thomas, a rangy man with a greying goatee, has cooked up a complicated story-within-a-story plot that he patiently explains to the performers. Alexander, under contract to Vivid to make eight films a year, listens intently. "It's like I'm in a pink sparkle bubble at Vivid. It's always the same people on set," she says. "It's like a big family." She grew up in Sacramento and initially worked as a receptionist but got into porn after being spotted at a club.

While the set is being prepared for filming, the two-man camera crew loiters. To kill time, Shylar Cobi, the production manager, is working on his putting, knocking a golf ball across the floor, while technicians tape up the windows to ensure no natural light spoils the shot. Then the set falls silent and the action begins.

The two thickset, bearded cameramen silently shift their position around the two stars as Alexander performs oral sex on Voodoo. Out of shot, Thomas takes a seat at a desk several feet away, puts on his glasses and opens a copy of the Los Angeles Times, only occasionally looking up to see what is happening in front of him. A stagehand standing next to me watches the action intently for a few minutes and then, as quietly as he can, opens a bag of Doritos and begins to eat.

Suddenly, there is a commotion: the paper covering one of the skylights has fallen off the ceiling. The performers break and the stagehand who was eating Doritos is dispatched upstairs to fix the problem. The shoot delayed, a naked Alexander walks off to the bathroom, her black stilettos clicking across the floor, while Voodoo stays behind. In porn, as in most lines of business, time is money and he must remain in character so that filming can quickly resume once the set is fixed. Nobody else on the set bats an eyelid.

It's amateur hour in the porn world. Although the professionals in California's San Fernando Valley town called Chatsworth, the industry's unofficial capital, are still turning out around a thousand new DVD's every month, their ability to turn a profit from them is under serious pressure.

But for a chance meeting in a Sacramento nightclub, Monique Alexander would never have become a porn star. As it is, she was spotted dancing seven years ago and has since become one of the industry's biggest names.

Alexander tells the story of her start while a make-up artist dabs away at her face. She was working as a receptionist when she was spotted. "Porn wasn't anything I ever thought about. But I had a car payment to make and couldn't afford it at $8 an hour."

There was no turning back after taking the plunge: films can exist in perpetuity on the internet. "This is something that you have to live with for the rest of your life," says Alexander.

Was her family concerned? "I told my mom after a couple of months," she says. "No parent wants their child to do porn. But I'm a big girl and I'm an adult. She never tried to talk me out of it, not once."

Porn careers tend to be short, but can also be relatively lucrative. Top stars can earn anything from $150,000 to $500,000 a year. Enterprising performers, such as Jenna Jameson, have been able to earn more by producing and controlling their own movies.

Alexander says porn has treated her well. She supplements her pay from Vivid with personal appearances at strip clubs, where she can earn "very good money", boosting her earnings by thousands of dollars. After finishing today's movie, she was due to travel to Hawaii to do six shows.

She has also become a vocal supporter of porn and recently took part in a Yale debate on the industry, which was moderated by journalist Martin Bashir and filmed for ABC's Nightline program. Alexander appeared in the pro-porn camp alongside Ron Jeremy, perhaps the industry's most famous performer. "My argument was: I'm a normal person, it's not demeaning," says Alexander. The work is, she says, "empowering".

Like all performers, she faces competition from a new generation of potential stars. Paul Fishbein, founder of Adult Video News, says more female performers are entering the industry than ever before. "When I started working in this business 25 years ago, it was all hush-hush," he says. "It's now a career choice... There are all these 18-year-old girls wanting to get into porn."

Alexander agrees. "Everyone wants to do [porn] now," she says. "But people should realize that it has consequences. You have to be up for the challenge."

Halle Berry Is Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive"

LOS ANGELES - Alongside a photo spread that shows her in little more than a T-shirt, Halle Berry talks about being the sexiest woman alive, a title Esquire magazine gives her in its November issue.

“I don’t know exactly what it means, but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I’ll take it,” says Berry, who gave birth to her daughter, Nahla, in March.

“Sexiness is a state of mind — a comfortable state of being,” she says. “It’s about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments.”

But Berry, who won an Oscar for her role in “Monster’s Ball,” can’t claim the sexiest-woman honor all to herself.

“I share this title with every woman, because every woman is a nominee for it at any moment,” she says.

Lisa Ann To Play Lead Role In 'Nailin' Paylin'

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Hustler Video has cast sexy Milf and former Metro Contract Girl Lisa Ann as Republican VP Candidate Sarah Palin in a porn spoof called Nailin' Paylin.

Word of the latest political parody from Larry Flynt and company spread earlier today after the New York Daily News printed a rumor that Hustler was seeking Palin lookalikes on Craigslist. Hustler Video denied any connection with the ad but confirmed the Palin parody is in the works.



"Nailin’ Paylin will take the viewer on a naughty adventure to the wild side of that sexy Alaska governor," the company announced in a press release. "Sara Paylin will not only be showing us some girl-on-girl lovin’ but will also be nailing the Russians, who come knocking on her back-door (wink, wink) and in a flashback, young Paylin’s creationist college professor will explain a 'big bang' theory even she can’t deny!"

One scene will show the Palin character in a lesbian threesome with characters based on Hillary Clinton (played by Nina Hartley) and Condoleezza Rice. The movie will also feature a Bill O’Reilly character as the announcer who dishes dirt on the Paylin sex scandals.

"Obviously, the real life antics of Sarah Palin are much funnier than anything we could ever make up," Hustler told AVN. "Her public appearances seem more like a trailer for a Farrelly brothers film then a carefully executed run at the White House."

Hustler plans to have Nailin' Paylin on the streets in time for the November election.
