It seems that on Superbowl Sunday, transexual beauty queen Vanity was enjoying the game and was being hit on at a well known Hollywood celeb hangout by tons of guys, not knowing she was a transexual. (Hello Nick Manning)

Seems there was an encounter with a well known celeb, and it involved some private, intimate moments.

Vanity spend much of yesterday dealing with assistants, assistants to assistants, pr people… all trying to do damage control for the celebrity Vanity had encountered. Payoff?

How far did it go? What did they do? And who the fuck is the guy? COuld this be another Eddie Murphy incident in the making? Or is it much more!

Be sure to tune into Harry Weiss and Cytherea tonight at 5PM on KSexRadio, Harry has some great scoop on a porn actor who did something extraordinary and extremely gay for a lot less than we all think. Only Harry has the scoop.

And Harry is also officially on Derek Hay’s (Ben English’s hate list).
Gee Ben, whatcha gonna do? Pull out your willy, give it an injection, get it hard and then beat Harry with it?

THINGS LOOKING UP AT METRO!!! Author: Scott Fayner

Yaaaaaaaa, as if!!!!!!

Great things, great new ideas and new ways of doing business.

For a director to shoot a movie now…. here are the steps.

1) Submit your idea 60 days in advance
2) Talent list 60 days in advance (hey that’s intelligent)
3) Submit your GROCERY LIST 60 days in advance!!

And the new ‘Head of Production’ is back in Rhode Island learning the ropes while Jiffy Lube Rick remains out here heading the ship and walking on water. You see folks, THAT is how you succeed at Metro. If you’re an industry verteran with great ideas and lots of experience (Alves, Wilson, O’Connor, Bloom) then you’re a dead duck. But if you come to Metro straight from Wal-Mart, Jiffy Lube or Panda Express - then my friend, you’re gonna go places!

The General Manager of Vertigo quit today because he was simply pissed off at having his checks bounce and bounce and bounce.

Mike Barbella quit today as GM for Vertigo out of frustration and a lack of trust.

Seems Barbella’s last three paychecks checks bounced.

Barbella was also frustrated at being pushed out of deals he brought into the company.

Somethinjg shady’s going on over at Caballero with Tomer!!! Vertigo bounces checks on over 4 titles and now they close it down and come back with Zero Degree, a complete insult to Greg Alves and Joseph Wilson. Alves and Wilson have formed 2 of the top companies in the business and now these zipperheads at Caballero who can’t pay their bills or come with anything creative or original of their own… so just try and rip off Zero Tolerance and 3rd Degree and see if they can get some play from that.

Why are all the big name directors leaving Red Light District? They’re not, they’re being asked to leave.

Eric Everhard, Vince Voyeur, Sean Michaels, Mike John, Manuel Ferrara, all gone from the company.

Red Light is a branded name, the NAME sells itself. Why?

Red Light made its’ name because of one word, PARIS. Because of that one title and Red Light District’s association with the title, the studio is now right up there with Vivid as far as name brand, even ahead of Digital Playground.

When Dion first started the company, he and Vince Voyeur put a philosophy into place. Let the directors fund and own their movies and the company will handle all post production and distribution and then take a % of the revenues. This was extremely effective because it locked in solid directors to exclusive deals and it kept costs down for the company. It was the ‘Directors’ that carried the ‘Studio’.

Once One Night In Paris was released, the roles were reversed and the ‘Studio’ began to carry the ‘Directors’. Red Light moved approximately 800,000 units of One Night, and with that the Red Light name was branded! This translated into higher automatics on new releases. People who took 10 were not taking 50. People who took nothing were now taking 25.

All the Directors were making tons of cash, because 1) their product is outstanding, and 2) because of David Joseph having the balls to release the Paris video.

Now that Red Light is a branded name and that the name itself carries the weight, why do all that work for 30%? The answer was to simply release the directors from their contracts and start shooting titles that the Studio OWNED 100%. Now Red Light keeps 100% of the title and simply pays the normal budgets for shooting a gonzo.

Everyone made money off of Red Light, and everyone involved in the company has moved on to greener pastures because of their affiliation with Red Light. It’s a smart move on behalf of David Joseph, owning 100% instead of 30%.
