Fire Chief Brian Cummings is Doing Community Service to Make Amends for LAFD Porn Scandal
You may recall that LAFD was recently embroiled in a scandal involving a porn actress who posed naked on a fire truck. It was scandalous in no small part because no one is supposed to have unsupervised access to fire trucks, and then there was the porn piece of it, which as we now know turns any event into a reason to riot. Once the scandal hit the news, Fire Chief Brian Cummings decided to demonstrate his contrition by imposing 120 hours of community service of himself.

The officers haven't been disciplined, with parking enforcement chief Jimmy Price claiming that he wasn't able to identify them until recently.

Movie Review: Black Devil Doll
Mubia is a black revolutionary wrongfully sent to the electric chair for raping & murdering white women. Precocious teen porn star Heather passes her time playing with ventriloquist dummies & Ouija boards. You don't have to be too horror-savvy to know that this is a roomful of bodies waiting to happen. At the stroke of midnight, Mubia is executed and Heather inadvertently Ouijas his soul into her dummy, infusing him with curly hair, a baadasssss attitude & a mouth that would make Richard Pryor roll over in his grave. The two fall deeply in love, but their relationship faces its greatest test when Heather's porn star friends come over for a girls' night of car-washing, showering, bathing & Twister. For once Heather leaves to grab food, an influx of slavery images, black power memories & demonic influences overwhelms Mubia (via a kaleidoscopic collision the filmmakers dub "Negroscope") and the starlets meet their ends in increasingly violent fashion. Maybe that all-white jury was all right...

Booyah! 'Gangsta of Porn' Sent to Prison
The porn star who goes by the name Tony Eveready, most famously known on the internet for his solo double penetration performances called a "booyah" (the usual penetration at the same time as nuts in the butt, errr), was sentenced to over six years in prison, according to the Daily News. Duane Reed Moore, 37, of Winnetka was driving in the West Valley last October when he was stopped by the LAPD for having no license plate. They found nearly four grams of cocaine, two guns and a collapsible baton. He said he dealt the drugs when the industry was slow and that the guns were used for filming. He was found guilty for possession of a firearm and cocaine. According to his MySpace page, he was in jail and charged with crimes prior to the October 2007 arrest.
STYLEist: Take a Walk on the Wild Side
Do you have any of these items of clothing in your closet? If not it's time to go shopping with some recommendations from porn star Mandy Morbid (she's on the left) and her friend who we spotted in Little Armenia walking down the sidewalk. If you don't know about Morbid, she hosts a free porn site (very NSFW link) featuring herself and friends. She promises no scams or pop-up ads--it's just for the love it, man... or rather, screw capitalism.
The Fox News vs. Porn Star Challenge
Our friends at Radar are celebrating the recent launch of News Corp's Fox Business Network with a challenging quiz: Fox News Anchor or Porn Star?. We got 7 out of 10, but hey, when it comes to skankiness on the tube, Rupe, O'Reilly, Hannity, et al may really be the ones missing the plot. Mark at the News Corpse blog takes this notion even further, alleging that Murdoch's use of "soft-core titillation and America’s...
