Porn Valley- Looks like Robert Lombard – and you couldn’t ask for better – has been officially contracted to do PR and On-Set Talent Coordinating for “Can You Be A Porn Star 2”.

The production is ready to roll before the cameras the end of October and will go for four to five days. From what I’m hearing through the grapevine, Pat Siciliano is handling both production along with direction and Lance Robbins is out of the picture. Robbins had been in charge of production on the last show which was shot at the Marilyn Monroe house on Laurel Canyon. But the ghost of Monroe must have been playing hijinks because, from what I’m also hearing, some stuff didn’t go down too well, particularly the squirrelly Ava Vincent episode involving Robbins.

Besides his publicity duties, Lombard, www.creativeimagemgmt.com , will be in charge of casting and packaging the talent. The show, with 10 to 12 hour shooting days, will be basically the same format as the last with most of the changes being in the executive pecking order.

Gee, could it be that some major money had been pissed away on the last shoot including fees that all but covered the dry cleaning of Robbins’ toupee? That, plus the fact that mainstream camera people, who basically don’t know dick about shooting porn scenes were in charge, will probably bring about crew changes, too. I also hear there may be a shake up in the way the contest is going to be judged with the thought being given to bringing in some of the older, established porn stars to do that.

From what I’m also gathering, the female talent pool will consist of women between the ages of 18 and 21, all natural; albeit the production this time around will be scaled down from the 13 episodes that comprised the original Can You be a Porn Star. That being said, On Demand is looking at a future that will include at least four or five more such productions down the road.

Another change in the wind, will be the composition of the boy-girl scenes. Execs, apparently, weren’t too happy with the results from last time, and that was because some nickels were bent with Dave Pounder and Dino Bravo essentially being brought on board to cut corners. No offense to either Pounder or Dino, but I hear some of those scenes really stunk out the joint, turning even Marilyn over in her grave.

That’s why you’re likely to see the Evan Stones and the Barrett Blades this time around because of their appeal to young women.
