The real work is done by the performers who put their lives and mental stability on the line. They also might be attacked by society because of what they do. They also usually are never paid what they should be. BUT FOR FUCK SAKE, let them own their fucking name! Shay Jordan is one of the biggest stars out there and now she has to start all over it seems. Not everyone knows her new name. She doesn't even own her Myspace page and her fans think it's her page judging by the comments left -- www.myspace.com/shayshayj The page is only used to promote DP's other projects.



Such companies pump endless amounts of money into their contract performers to sell them. Gals like Shay could readily take better advantage of said publicity but decline most opportunities to do so, limiting their value in terms of extending careers, etc. Had "Shay" wanted to do more than just fuck a handful of times a month, she'd probably still be under contract. DP secures the names for their future releases as part of insuring their investment is safe, a practice that benefits both parties even long after the contracts are over. Shay/Jasmine could work something out with them but that might take an ounce of work...

In terms of Monstar and Ms. Armani, it was clear he was earning his keep with her. Yeah, she looks much better these days and all but he's the one putting her out there for the world to see. How many covers/interviews/projects did she have before hiring him? Since?

He defends her in the spirit of the forum(s) he is on too, not shying away from XPT-like smackdowns here while taking a more appropriate approach elsewhere. I saw them together at the Circle Bar, on the show floor, and in a few casinos last week and she's definitely climbing the ladder upwards. I'll reserve my opinion of her performance abilities until I've seen more of her work but she was a lot more popular than others at the show (and if she helped some coked out loser get medical help when needed, good for her).
