Porn Valley- Wankus was compiling a list of firsts under the new KSEX regime this week, and Tera Patrick almost got on it. But as a flake.

That’s because Patrick, who was scheduled to be on Jason Sechrest’s Young & the Curious Show Friday night, almost missed her curtain call by showing up in the waning moments. Patrick, who Randy Spears refers to as The Xanax Queen and who had a show with KSEX for awhile, had been to the studios in Burbank a number of times in the past. But she got lost, evidently, on the way over.

Nonetheless, Patrick kept Sechrest up to date with progress reports by cellphone during the course of his revamped two-hour show. Rushed into the studio, Patrick handed out some pretty good stuff which makes you wonder what the interview would have been like had she been on for her time allotted.

With Patrick, www.clubterra.com, handing him a copy of the new FHM with her on the cover, Sechrest conducted a noble two-minute interview drill and hit Patrick with some perky questions about her legal tiff with Digital Playground. He started off the with nurse controversy.

“Were you a registered nurse or was that just p.r. that was made up by people?” Sechrest wanted to know. Patrick said when she was with her “former company” they used to do a lot of interviews without her even being around.

“Yes, I was a nurse,” said Patrick. “I started off as an emergency medical technician; I also worked as a nurse’s aide. And my dad was a doctor- that’s how I ended up getting into the profession.” Patrick said she was also registered. Sechrest was glad to get that fact out of the way.

“Speaking of that former company, how did you meet these people?” he asked. Patrick explained that she started in the business in 1999. “They came across one of movies in an AVN magazine. They saw me in AVN.”

Patrick explained that she was already doing movies as Tera Parick which was one of the bones of contention in her lawsuit.

“I had posed for Playboy, for Penthouse, for Hustler,” she continued. “I had already won some awards. I was already Tera Patrick and was working as Tera Patrick.”

“Would it be safe to say that they played a large part in making you the super star you are today?” Sechrest asked her.

“I never, ever did not give Digital Playground credit where credit is due,” Patrick replied. “I still do today. But I created Tera Patrick. I’m not going to let them say they created me. I created myself and it wasn’t hard for them to market me. But I do give them credit with giving me some great p.r., getting me on my way and definitely building me up. But since then I’ve gotten twice as huge and have done twice as much stuff including opening my own company. And I have to say, had I not been a contract star with them, who knows where I would be?”

“When did you first become unhappy with them?” Sechrest asked her, and Evan Seinfeld in the background made some comment that Digital was going to sue her for this conversation.

“I’ll pay for your lawyers bills- I swear to god,” Sechrest told her. “Like you need the money and like you couldn’t beat their asses in court.” Patrick said problems started around 2003. Sechrest then asked how she became unhappy with the company.

“I stopped drinking alcohol because it was affecting my day to day life,” she said. “I realized I was numbing the pain. I was at the point of my life where I was, like, look I met a wonderful guy and he treats me really good and he’s really good to me.” Patrick also said she put off having relationships for years.

“I met Evan at that point,” she continued. “I was looking for somebody to meet, not to get out of the industry but to be in love.” Patrick pointed out how Sechrest used to sleep in bed with her and tell her not to worry about those things. Sechrest said he fell in love with Patrick as a person and from the second that he met her.

“I knew that you would find something more substantial in you life.”

Patrick said she then started asking pertinent questions of her manager and they didn’t want to tell her anything. Patrick said the questions were about finances and where she was going with her career and why she wasn’t seeing pay stubs.

“They didn’t want to give me answers.”

According to Patrick, the point of blow-up is when she asked for a copy of her contract.

“I was denied,” she said. “I hired an attorney and I looked at my contract. It really blew my mind and I definitely quit drinking at that point. I’m never touching alcohol again and I haven’t.” Patrick also felt like she wasn’t valued by the company.

“I saw myself as property and it made me realize- there’s a saying in your life- you should know what you want, but you should definitely know what you don’t want.” At that point Patrick said she knew what she didn’t want.

“What I didn’t want was to be in a contract.”

Asked what happened with the lawsuit, Patrick said she and Digital did settle and that she was very happy with the outcome.

“I own www.terapatrick.com again,” she said. Patrick also owns www.clubterra.com as well as a production company, Teravision. Sechrest noted that Patrick also went through a drastic change of appearance around that time.

“You lost a lot of weight, you went blond and you got breast implants,” he said, wondering if that was all a part of her not being happy with where she was in her life. Patrick said she pretty much lost her mind and made a decision to go blond.

“I did a sabbatical, and in this sabbatical I can do whatever I want,” she explained. “I didn’t have to shoot. I was what do I want to look like? I want to be blond and because I lost weight- the reason that I got breast implants initially- was because I lost my tits. I lost so much weight. I said fuck I want those double-D’s back. Now I have them forever no matter how much weight I lose.” Sechrest told her that he was really glad she was in love and that it was working out with Seinfeld.

“Everybody knows that things are wonderful in your relationship,” he said, then questioned Patrick about the challenges of keeping a relationship alive in the industry. For her, personally, Patrick said you have to get over the jealousy.

“This is your partner- you work together, you live together, then he’s going to work with another girl!”

“But it’s cool and it’s the greatest thing that ever happened to our relationship,” she added. Patrick doesn’t see children in her future.

“I don’t want kids,” she said. “I have two toy fox terriers- Chopper and Buddy. I love kids. I have a stepson who’s 12 and he’s great. But it’s cool because I get to give him back. And I’m kind of a selfish person who likes to travel.”

“You’re at the top of the top right now,” Sechrest observed. “You’re a Vivid girl- you own your own company. Where do you go from here? How do you get bigger?” Noting that she was on the FHM cover, Patrick said her goal is to make a mainstream crossover. Patrick said she also writes a couple of columns one of which is for Adult Friend Finder, the other for FHM. She’s also the publisher of Genesis. And she just shot a reality show that airs May 18 on VH1.

“It’s a series,” said Patrick. “It’s a show called Super Group. It’s basically five rock stars and their wives. We’re all in a house together. We were in Vegas for two weeks- it’s the drama and the fun times. They perform a show together and make an album together. It’s really cool. I got to hang out with other rock wives.”

Too bad Sechrest didn’t have more time to explore the story that Seinfeld allegedly punched out Sebastian Bach during the making of that show.
