check your ccbill htpasswd file on a regular basis to make sure there aren’t non-paying users who still have access to your site.

last year i was looking up a password trader and discovered that he had cancelled over a year earlier but his username was still in the htpasswd file!!! so not only did he have free access for over a year, he was generous enough with his good fortune that he shared it with a bunch of his buddies! when i asked ccbill about this they said this happens if there is a problem writing to the server. when a membership expires the user is removed but if there is a problem with the connection then the user never gets removed. the entire file isn’t re-written, just that line. something doesn’t seem right with that but it’s the story i was told.

well, after reading all the stuff on here lately about ccbill i thought i’d check again and guess what, there were 105 users in the htpasswd file that weren’t paying but had member’s area access!

ccbill said there’s nothing they can do about it and it’s up to the site owner to request a new htpasswd file each month to make sure non-paying members are removed.

check your shit!

They also listed their POPporn movie in the category of best sex comedy.  And of course the director of that movie, Mike Quasar they nominated for best director and also in the category of best twitterer.  Keep in mind he only tweets once or twice a day, and lately his tweets have mostly just been insults to others in the industry.  Here is some of his insightful tweets that got him nominated for best tweeter.

• This just in: X-Play sues William Shakespeare for trademark infringement over the phrase “To be or NOT to be”. about 3 hours ago via web
• More lesbos today. Good times. about 14 hours ago via web
• In other news, the producers of American Pie want us all to stop using the word “Milf”. 10:22 AM Mar 10th via web
• Jeff Mullen just trademarked the word “Not”. I just trademarked the words “Douche” and “bag” 10:21 AM Mar 10th via web

Really that category should include stars who tweet all day long to their fans like Nikki Benz, Teagan Presley, Eva Angelina and Sunny Leone.

The biggest disappointment was however the category BEST FREAK OUT OF THE YEAR.  They left out a few major freak outs which is of course Shawna Lenee’s well actually she’s had a few but I guess the biggest and most well known one would be on the Opie and Anthony show.  Then they could add in Donny Long for one of many freak outs he has had this year and maybe even Chasey Lain in her battle with Donny Long.

They couldn’t be more obvious with that they are doing.  Do they really think customers are so stupid that they won’t see through this very obvious and blatant attempt at self promotion?  They could have at least pretended to put some effort into the categories.

Now all of this aside, you know what isn’t included?  VIVID – one of the biggest studios out there – and while they may no longer be #1 they are still a major player in the adult industry.  But TLA Raw completely disregards them and doesn’t nominate anything Vivid related in any category – movies, directors, porn stars – nothing.

Is there something going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about?

While it’s true that almost every awards show includes nominations of some kind for Wicked Pictures, Digital Playground and Vivid as a standard – maybe TLA Raw just didn’t agree.  Could it really that the powers that be at TLA Raw found no Vivid product viable in any single category – no Vivid girl worthy, nor any Vivid director or movie???  Could it really be that innocent or is there something going on behind the scenes that we just don’t know about yet?

I guess only time will tell, or maybe we’ll get someone to leak us some information on what could be brewing behind the scenes between Vivid and these guys.

Many adult webmasters love to use ePass but did you know they are or could be considered a foreign bank?

ePassporte is headquartered in St. Kitts, part of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, the smallest independent nation in the Caribbean. So if you have an account at ePassporte it is a foreign bank account. If you’re a US citizen and your high balances in any foreign bank accounts when added together add up to $10,000 or more, you must file Form TD F 90-22.1 and check the box on Schedule B. If you willfully don’t file Form TD F 90-22.1 the minimum fine is $100,000.

So if you have foreign bank accounts and meet the threshold of reporting make sure you comply.

*** Correction,they are registered in Curracao, while only bank account is in St. Nevis, which either way still makes them a foreign bank.

Alexis Texas is about to take her place alongside two of the biggest names in feature dancing today: 3-Time Best Feature Dancer Teagan Presley and superstar Sunny Leone.  Texas, who also appeared in the AVN Award-winning four-girl scene in Deviance, takes the stage at legendary Erv’s in Allentown, Pennsylvania this Friday and Saturday nights, March 12 and 13.

Eva Angelina will not be appearing

“Sunny and I have been so used to have Eva (Angelina) as our partner in crime on our Divas of Deviance tour.  Having Alexis (Texas) is gonna be different, but I think in an exciting way,” Teagan Presley gushes, “Can you imagine having two of the most famous asses in porn ever on stage at the same time?  It’s gonna be hot.”

Registered Trademark Gives X-Play Sole Usage of the Word NOT for Adult Movies

(Hollywood, CA) After nearly two years of attempts, X-Play has finally been granted a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for usage of the word ‘Not’ in an adult movie title.

With high profile movies such as Not the Bradys XXX, Not Bewitched XXX, Not the Cosbys XXX, Not Married with Children XXX, Not Airplane XXX: Flight Attendants, and many others that have become franchise type properties, the Registered Trademark supplies protection from other companies wishing to capitalize on the good name that X-Play has created with their Not…XXX series of best-selling porn.

“We had to gently ask companies over the past year or so not to use the word ‘No’t in their adult movie titles and a few companies agreed and changed their titles particularly those in the parody arena,” stated Jeff Mullen president of X-Play.

“However with the proliferation and popularity of the porn parody by so many companies it became more important than ever to protect our Not…XXX brand and we now have legal rights to keep others from using the word ‘not’ especially at the beginning of their movie title,” Mullen who directs using the name Will Ryder continued.

Recent movies such as Not Really the Dukes of Hazard and Not Another Porn Movie produced by other companies are examples of titles that will not be able to continue in sequels with their present titles. Not Really Taxi is another.

“We will not take any action against our friends in the industry that have already released movies using the word ‘not’ especially since we elected to remain quiet as our final stages of Trademark acceptance were completed but anybody planning new movies or sequels should think up another title without using the word not,” Mullen said with a smile.

“A few executives even doubted that we would be granted a trademark but still changed their titles and we appreciate that but now we have been granted the trademark. I was not aware of the Dukes parody until they had already printed up artwork so we really didn’t want to make a big deal of it because we are friends with everybody at that company and who knows we might do business with them one day soon.”

The award-winning production team at X-Play understands the irony in all of this considering that spoofs of blockbuster classic television shows are the basis of their porn parody success but still they understand they must prevent confusion which might result from other companies capitalizing on the good name and brand awareness that they have created among those that purchase adult movies.

“New Sensations has their brand of adult parody titles, Hustler has their unique title prefix, Devils has theirs, Zero Tolerance and PopPorn have theirs and others go out of their way to make sure they create their own identify but the use of the word ‘Not’ should now be avoided,” Mullen suggested.

He also makes note that the adult movie business usually goes out of their way to inform the audience that porn movie parodies are not created or endorsed by the television production companies that brought to market the original television shows which tends to avoid any confusion in the marketplace among reasonable thinking people.

X-Play’s only problem now is that they cannot locate the little letter r inside the circle on their computers that signifies a US Trademark. “Maybe we can borrow one from Digital Playground,” Mullen said jokingly. “They have a lot of registered trademarks over there.”

X-Play is looking forward to the release of Not Married with Children XXX 2 on March 23rd and reports that the recently released Not the Cosbys XXX 2 is more popular and getting better critical acclaim than the 2010 AVN Award winning Best Parody Not the Cosbys XXX with also picked up awards from NightMoves, XCritic, CAVR and Rogreviews.

Movies trailers for all X-Play movies can be seen at www.sitcums.com

The sequel to the multiple award-winning movie Not the Cosbys XXX is now in stores and Not Married with Children XXX 2 will be in stores March 23rd from X-Play/LFP Video. Not Airplane XXX will be available from Adam & Eve Pictures/X-Play also on March 23rd.

Introducing a New Kind of Talent Agency

(San Francisco, CA) The Adult industry is full of agencies, but none quite like this. Award-winning Indie pornographer Courtney Trouble has decided to throw her hat in the ring and open Little Pink Book, a sex positive talent management and casting agency specializing in alternative, BDSM, fetish, queer, lesbian and trans performers in Adult and Indie films. The idea behind the agency is to establish ethical and professional casting assistance to unique authentic performers, who haven’t been able to attain representation in the Adult and/or mainstream agency world.

Little Pink Book’s website, LittlePinkBook.Biz, is up and running with a database of over 100 established and aspiring performers, including 2009’s Feminist Porn Awards’ Heartthrob of the Year, Dylan Ryan, and fetish model Sarah Lee Sinful—both have appeared on Troubles’ films for Reel Queer Productions/ Good Releasing and NoFauxxx.Com.

“I have been told consistently that one of my greatest traits as a pornographer is my ability to cast the right person for the right project,” says Courtney Trouble. “Cultivating healthy working relationships with my performers has always been my biggest goal in this industry, and moving forward to promote these artists seems like the next logical step.”

The agency has been open just a few days, but Trouble has big plans for the coming year and beyond. “There has been a lot of great work done in female-friendly filmmaking over past year, but no work has been done to connect the Indie, feminist, and queer genres to the mainstream,” says Trouble. “I hope to achieve a working relationship between Indie and the mainstream, by being a resource for casting and ethical business practices. It’s time to take this groundbreaking work behind the scenes into performer relations!”

To book or become talent, contact Courtney Trouble via email at courtney@littlepinkbook.biz. All press inquiries should be sent to Erika Icon and Rub PR at therubpr@gmail.com.

2010 will definitely be the year of Courtney Trouble with the release of Bordello, a film which she and Alt porn director Eon McKai came together to make, that has received rave reviews, and the opening of Little Pink Book, a sex positive talent management and casting agency specializing in alternative, BDSM, fetish, queer, lesbian and trans performers in Adult and Indie films.

If anyone wondering if stealing porn pays off, apparently it does because it got Brazzers enough money to buy this sex tape that has been shopped around for the last few weeks.

A sex tape starring “Bachelor” reject Rozlyn Papa — allegedly — has made it’s way onto the Internet — and it happens to end just like the “Bachelor” finale … with someone on their knees.

The short tape — which features a woman certainly resembling Rozlyn performing a sexual act on a sizable gentleman — just popped up on the website Pornhub.com.

Rozlyn’s rep has previously told us she has “no knowledge of any tape.”

Update 3/9/2010 -

eonline.com is reporting the sex tape is a fraud – Mystery solved! A lawyer for Rozlyn Papa has ID’d the clip purporting to be a sex tape of his client. According to a statement from Roderick J. Lindblom, “a cursory internet search reveals that the clip appears to be from a 2004 porn movie titled Pole Position: Lex POV, directed by Lexington Steele.”

While Rozlyn Papa may have been Jake Pavelka’s most controversial potential paramour, she’s not a porn star.

A 15-second dirty video that went live on (NSFW site!) Pornhub.com today may look like her, but the blond woman shown “is clearly not her,” her rep, Stacie Vanchieri, tells E! News exclusively.

“I’ve seen the tape,” she continues. “Anyone who has met her once would know it’s not her. The woman has a different body, hands, face, everything.”

Indeed, the fast flick shows a seemingly much more flat-chested woman than the 29-year-old reality star.

“The woman looks directly into the camera and is definitely not Rozlyn,” Vanchieri claims. “The tape looks like it was done as porn to be sold, not a private moment captured on tape…It so clearly seems someone is trying to ruin her. I don’t know why someone would do this to her—she has to take her son to school in the mornings.”

Papa, who continues to deny any sort of affair with a producer on the ABC reality show, told us last week that she’d heard some buzz about sex tapes starring her and was having her lawyer get to the bottom of it.

“Whoever it is that’s shopping around is also the guy who’s shopped around other fake celebrity sex tapes,” she said. “I don’t want to say too much about it, except that as far as I know, it’s a hoax.”

While Papa’s lawyer is taking the necessary steps to have the video removed from the website—or at least his client’s name removed—the model is doing her best to keep her head held high.

“She’s upset but she’s a strong cookie,” Vanchieri says. “She knew there was never a sex tape but now it’s kind of a relief to her that it’s out there and so clearly not her.”

She worked on quite a few movies out of Miami and then made the move back to LA.  She was booked in the recent star studded spectacular, Hocus Pocus XXX and now has decided to switch agents back to LA Direct Models to help her get more higher profile work like that.

This photo of McKenzee Miles comes from her recent
performance in the movie Hocus Pocus XXX

Here is the press release from LA Direct Models

After a three year absence McKenzee Miles has returned to LA Direct Models. Little Miss McKenzee Miles as she is affectionately known promises to the same energy and excitements to her scenes that earned her multiple AVN Award nominations.

During her three year absence McKenzee finished up her BA in Business from the University of Oregon and got herself a new pair of breath-taking new breasts. McKenzee just turned twenty-three and is a blonde beauty with blue eyes, stands five-foot-four inches tall, weighs 102 pounds and has a head turning 32D-21-32 figure.

McKenzee Miles said, “I am so happy to be in the adult industry and back with Derek, Fran and the great group of people at LA Direct. I have been gone for too long and can’t wait to do all sorts of wild and crazy things for my fans. I have learned to squirt with the best of them and love anal sex more and more every day”

Derek Hay of LA Direct Models said, “It feels like our daughter has come home, to have McKenzee Miles back, maybe a naughty daughter, ha ha. But still, we are delighted that she has returned to the fold and we see great things in her continued career in adult. We missed her. And damn those are two fine new additions she has brought with her, who knew Oregonian surgeons crafted such fine workmanship? “

Directors and Producers interested in booking Miss Miles please contact Derek Hay at LA Direct Models derek@ladirectmodels.com or call 323-850-1458. McKenzee Miles is available for boy/girl, girl/girl, squirting, anal, and creampie.

He wanted me to post this and I am going to post his email (see below) but not before I make a few very clear points.

It has become a very well known fact in the industry that Brazzer’s owns a very well known illegal tube site that posts videos they don’t own. Just recently they began posting movies owned by Vivid, Digital Playground and Wicked Pictures inside the Brazzer’s members area. This of course came a few days after being sued by Pure Play Media for $6.5 million for theft.

So now this guy writes in to support Derek Hey pointing out that Brazzer’s can afford to pay the higher rates. REALLY? DUH! YOU DIP SHIT. OF COURSE THEY CAN PAY BECAUSE THEY MAKE A SHIT TON OF MONEY ON STOLEN CONTENT. ARE YOU SO FUCKING RETARDED THAT YOU REALLY THOUGHT YOU COULD DEFEND YOUR BUDDY DEREK HAY BY SUPPORT PORN PIRACY AND A COMPANY WELL KNOWN TO DO IT?

I don’t know who Tim Lassiter is but if his justification for bad business decisions is based solely on the fact that he supports a company known to steal content, then what does that really say about him?

Next I want to point out his attack on the concept of a porno parody in general. To answer your question Tim Lassiter, what do parodies have to do with sex? Everything. DVD sales have seen a increase in sales that can be directly attributed to the porno parody genre. Just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean others don’t. And what matters most is, others in massive droves like them and the bottom line is, porno parodies = big money. Period. So the only dip shit I see around here is you for not knowing that.

I don’t know Jeff Mullen or can’t really say I even like or don’t like his movies. But what I will say is, what he says isn’t to far off from the truth. Promotion of talent isn’t about sending out a press release, as someone put it. Anyone who claims that putting a performer in the right movie(s) won’t help her career really needs to shut the fuck up because you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about.

Next you need to go back to my original post and read every fucking bit of it. Don’t glance over it. Read all of the points I made about bad business practices, not just the $ discount one.

If you are an agent you should take a moment to consider that maybe, just maybe some of these things are happening in your office and maybe just maybe you need to address them. Stop taking everything said as a personal fucking attack and instead consider just for once that maybe you aren’t perfect and maybe there is room for improvement.

My original post wasn’t even fucking about LA Direct Models. But it doesn’t mean they don’t need to read it and consider some of those things in the post. Everyone can use some help and improvement in their life and if you think you can’t well then you are just a dumb ass and I’m not going to waste my time on you anymore anyway.

I hope you post this:
RE: Derek Hay Blasting Jeff Mullen-GOOD FOR DEREK!

Jeff Mullen’s inability to pay Derek Hay’s “asking price” aka the “FEMALE TALENT’S RATE” is a function of Jeff Mullen’s ineptitude as a businessman-nothing more, nothing less, only Jeff is to smitten with himself to notice this. Maybe that god-awful gotee that he shamelessly sports is blocking his shoddy directorial visions, but the last time I checked Brazzer’s can afford to pay the going rate.

In a porn world not backed up by US Government bailouts this paradigm means Jeff Mullen goes out of business and Brazzer’s does not-period. His rational about the state of the market as a justification for paying chicks rock bottom prices is analogous to a shopper at Albertson’s going into the store running up a grocery bill of $100.00 and leaving $50.00 with the cashier as the shopper heads for the door. Jeff Mullen’s business attitude is that of a common sack-of-shit low-life thief.

Furthermore, what the fuck does Jeff Mullen know about porno or even the very act of sex for that matter? This boob runs around making parody movies-WTF??? What do parodies have to do with sex? What fucking dipshit sits around in their underwear thinking-”I’d really like to beat-off to a Bill Cosby look-a-like fucking his look-a-like TV wife”. Jeff Mullen is the very embodiment of what is wrong with America today-STUPIDITY.

Jeff, if you are looking for rock bottom prices on talent, I suggest you try the slums of Bangladesh. You know Jeff, I always wanted to see an M. Knight Shyamalan Sex Parody. So get crackin’, you smug self-inflated asshole the world is holding its breath for your next masterpiece.

-Tim

In addition to all of that there is also the fan factor. A person watching a pretty girl in a shitty movie might remember her but most likely what will be on his mind is what a half ass piece of shit movie he just watched. A person watching that same girl in a well done movie, is far more likely to remember some girl he liked from that movie and become a fan. Now the porn star in question has an increased fan base. Sure a person can become a fan of a girl in a cheap ass piece of shit movie, but common sense tells you a person is far more likely to be impressed with a performer in a good movie.

Add to the fact that far more people will see a big budget movie than will ever see a no name movie so that means more chances to be seen by potential fans and we all know the huge financial benefit of a growing fan base.

Now these things I just stated are obvious to most people, some would call it common sense. But Derek Hay of LA Direct Models says otherwise. He tells his performers that this extra attention only benefits the company’s bottom line and not the actors. Seriously??? Are you fucking kidding me? Everyone knows that the putting a performer in the right roles can change everything for her. The more awards she wins the more money she is worth in the future. Look at Tori Black. Are you going to tell me LA Direct Models isn’t booking her for more this year than last, after her massive success this awards season? Bullshit!

Anyway, I could go on all fucking day about this bullshit. Instead just read the story below that came to me this morning.

Agent Derek Hay Blasts Will Ryder & X-Play

In what amounts to a prominent adult movie agent still living in yesterday’s booming economic times, LA Direct owner/agent Derek Hay has blasted Jeff Mullen and X-Play for hiring actresses for their award-winning movies for less than the financial rate that he would prefer to charge.

It is no secret that the adult movie industry is in a tremendous financial spiral due to the proliferation of free porn which is causing numerous companies to shut down or drastically reduce their movie production output yet Derek Hay continues to insist on charging what many producers consider impossible talent rates even at the expense of actors who might get passed over for great roles without ever knowing they received an offer for a prospective movie role; sometimes in very high profile blockbuster movies.

“I would normally never comment publicly but Derek Hay recently posted a public blog criticizing me after he read a generic comment I wrote on Lukeford where I didn’t even mention him by name,” stated X-Play producer Jeff Mullen. He and I spoke to set the record straight yesterday but he later went ahead and sent out an email message to his entire talent database blasting X-Play for hiring girls at rates that make financial sense for our company but not for Derek.”

“I understand he is doing what he can to hold the line and keep talent rates high and I can respect that but we are all living in the same collapsing economic world with free porn beating us up and yesterday is gone and it’s not coming back,” Mullen lamented. “I felt compelled to respond, defend my company and tell the story from the producer’s perspective.”

Mullen who directs under the name Will Ryder is the 2010 AVN Director of the Year and is responsible for some of today’s most successful movies that consistently win multiple adult movie awards year-in and year-out and does everything he can to boost the careers of each actor he works with yet that seems to carry very little favor with Hay who sees little value in publicity.

Not the Bradys XXX Marcia Marcia Marcia, Flight Attendants, Not the Cosbys XXX, Not Married with Children XXX, Not Bewitched XXX are only a few of the recent movies that have seen their cast members win numerous individual awards and entire cast ensembles bask in the glory of movie category wins. This year alone, X-Play movies have won AVN Awards for Best Comedy, Best Parody, Best Actor, Best Non Sex Performance, Director of the Year, Best Solo Sex Scene and have seen stars of their movies win Best New Starlet for Kagney Linn Karter who received her break-out role in Not Married with Children XXX and Tori Black who enjoyed a terrific year and appeared in multiple X-Play produced movies including Not the Cosbys XXX and This Ain’t the Partridge Family XXX as she went on to win Female Performer of the Year.

While X-Play is not guaranteeing awards to those that participate in their movies, the chances of being nominated and later walking away a winner are statistically higher for X-Play cast members than any other movie company producing today. Not a boast just a fact.

“I think most actors have enough pride to want to be a part of something special that has a chance to be recognized as one of the great, entertaining movies of the year which usually results in soaring popularity for the individual participants.” Mullen remarked.

“We have dozens of beautiful ladies and great guys asking us to cast them in our movies and never more so than our upcoming spoof of Charlie’s Angels. Even though we have a full cast, I have wonderful girls being very persistent at being placed into the show. I guess today was the straw that broke the camel’s back when a very sweet girl asked once again if I would put her in the movie because she wanted to be in a blockbuster so we changed a regular boy/girl sex scene into a three-way boy/girl/girl sex scene as a favor to her (and to her friend who happens to be one of my buddies) and told her we can only offer $500 since it truly is an extra role that was not needed to complete the movie even though it definitely makes the movie better. We are thrilled to have her join the cast of Not Charlie’s Angels XXX and the girl is now very happy because she knows she will be spotlighted in the press co-starring in a very high profile movie and possibly wind up standing on the awards-stage next year. We immediately contacted her agent but instead her new agent (I didn’t even know she was in the process of changing agents nor did her current agent) sends out this massive email telling all of their porn talent that X-Play is low-balling talent and that actors and actresses should not stand for it any longer,” Mullen said with a concerned smile.

“I have a lot of respect for Derek but calling me out in such a fashion and belittling our PR and marketing created the need to respond and tell the facts at least from our perspective.”

In Hay’s blog he comments that the X-Play producers routinely tell actors they should be in their movies because of the additional media attention and ‘press releases’ they will receive but Hay says that this extra attention only benefits the company’s bottom line and not the actors.

“OK tell that to Eric Swiss, or Misty Stone or Hillary Scott or Jenna Haze or Thomas Ward or Teagan Presley, or Kayden Kross or Eva Angelina or Sunny Lane, or Monica Foster or Kacey Jordan or Sasha Grey or any of the talent that has appeared in our movies that ended up on the victory stage. Of course there is tremendous value for an actor to appear in one of our movies but for Derek to belittle that fact is absurd. I am sort of shocked but I guess people will do anything they can to hold onto something that once had more value. Derek, as king of the agents, might be basing his price expectations on a few companies most notably Brazzers who continue to pay sky-high rates even though history will bear the fact out that they were not really very good for the adult industry in the long run,” Mullen continued. “Most other companies are not in that high financial stratosphere anymore because it is a crap shoot making movies today and financial returns are not what they used to be.”

“I also wonder what some of the girls that had been cast by X-Play might say if they knew that their participation was turned down by the agent before they ever had a chance to realize they were selected. I’m talking about girls who made the effort to come down to our office and audition but never knew they could have been in our next Not the Bradys XXX or Not Charlie’s Angels XXX because their agent rejected our offer because they wanted to hold an out-dated price line that is destined to fall and forego a prestigious project as if we were shooting a five scene gonzo,” Mullen speculated.

It is reported that one girl still doesn’t know that she was offered a starring role in the movie because her agent turned down the offer from X-Play over a $300 total difference in pay over a multiple day shoot. Mullen hopes he doesn’t run into her at a party and has to explain. Mullen did say that if agents can get top dollar for their clients good for them but the reality is that boom times are few and far between and sometimes press clippings and great reviews should be valued like partial currency.

“I guess Derek and I agree to disagree,” Mullen said. “I have much respect for him and even brought a girl to him the other day but if any actor today wonders about our business practice or our integrity at X-Play which he questions or the value of being in one of our movies all they need to do is talk to any and I mean any male or female actor that has ever worked for X-Play and ask them was it a worthwhile and good experience?”

Sometimes it is not always about making the most money each day. Ask anybody standing on that stage when Flight Attendants won the Best Comedy award in Las Vegas if they would trade that experience for $300 or even $500? Or anybody from Not the Cosbys XXX to trade that moment for a few hundred bucks or the numerous moments that continue to come for Not the Cosbys XXX like today when RogReviews.com named the movie the top porn movie of the year and Misty Stone as Best Female Performer in their 2010 Critic’s Choice Awards. Ask Derek if that has any value?

Now in defense of his thought-process where he ‘warns’ his talent in his email that if a performer works for X-Play at less then their normal rate then other companies will expect the same; they can easily comment the job was for a big movie and the talent wanted to take a chance and get recognized come awards time. I think it is better to work with X-Play than to sit at home and turn down jobs especially in this declining market and if I was talent I would want a say in which movies my agent was turning down.

“We run a business and it’s our responsibility to keep our production budgets within reason respective of the current economic climate. Just the same, talent and their agents have the right to turn down any offer they receive. That is called capitalism and I get that. Turning down a starring role in a movie with no conversation with the actress is what might be referred to as a dictatorship” Mullen said with a smile.

Someone asked Mullen and his business partner Scott David if they thought that Derek would organize other agents to blackball X-Play from hiring talent in the future.

“Maybe,” stated David.

“Derek is smart he’s not stupid and our movies and actors will once again be adorned with adult movie award nominations and hopefully a lucky bunch will be standing in the victory circle should we continue to be blessed with funny movies and great performances,” Mullen hoped.

“I love this business but it is a business and we will continue to treat everybody fairly and with respect because I truly adore each and everyone I get the chance to work with. I still like Derek and would rub his bald head just for good luck if he were here right now but I felt compelled to defend myself and my company. I think that talent is quite smart and can see the real story between the lines of discontent and of two industry veterans that agree to disagree. We just want to make great movies at X-Play with happy actors and if the agents are happy that’s a bonus but they certainly should at least pretend to be happy when their actors receive critical acclaim and awards for the hard work they’ve put in,” Mullen concluded.

Not the Cosbys XXX 2 is in stores now and getting rave reviews and Not Married with Children XXX 2 will be in stores everywhere March 23rd from X-Play/LFP Video.
