from www.aolnews.com – Business is apparently booming for a “talent” agency representing the purported ex-lovers of celebrities.
Launched by former porn star Gina Rodriguez, the probably suitably named DD Entertainment is reaping rewards from the extramarital activity of stars such as golf champion Tiger Woods and actor Mel Gibson.
Los Angeles-based DD Entertainment says it specializes in remaking the images of people caught in notorious situations and circumstances.
Rodriguez said her first client was friend Joslyn James, a fellow porn actress who reportedly had a three-year affair with golfer Woods.
“Joslyn James lived in my home for three months to protect her from the media and to help get her back on her feet,” Rodriguez said in an interview with the Orange County Register.
That act of salvation prompted others from Woods’ list of third wheels — Jamie Jungers, Loredana Jolie, Holly Sampson and Devon James — to seek assistance from Rodriguez.
“Thirteen mistresses later, I founded DD Entertainment,” Rodriguez said. “I help them to use their notoriety to build them a platform to take them to the next level of their career.”
Other semi-celebrities on the DD Entertainment roster are mostly infamous for questionable behavior.
They include Violet Kowal, who claimed an affair with actor Mel Gibson, and Jeff Miranda, a former boyfriend of Snooki from the television program “Jersey Shore.”
Kate Major, a former reporter for Star magazine linked to octodad Jon Gosselin and now engaged to Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael, is DD Entertainment’s publicist.
According to a statement on the company’s website, “With over 21 years of experience in the entertainment industry as an actress, model, writer, producer, creator and publicist, Gina has moved into the realm of management with an intimate, first hand knowledge of the industry and a female businesswoman’s sensibilities to the issues and challenges her clientele will face.”
Rodriguez is no stranger to controversy.
A former Playboy model, the 43-year-old mother of two teenage children was allegedly romantically involved with married actor David Boreanaz last year — the “Bones” TV star denied an affair.
Rodriguez worked under the stage name “Demi Delia” during her adult film career and was the subject of an online reality TV show, “Mommy XXX.”
“I have been somewhat of a mother to all of them in some way,” Rodriguez said of her clients.
