Porn Valley- This whole business between Rebecca Hilton and her husband; and Summer Haze and her husband, Craig Valentine, would have a grown man playing with his lips trying to figure out what’s going on.

Hilton’s suing Valentine, because Valentine shot three movies for Hilton – one titled A Not So Simple Porn Life- an apt title considering some of the complexities that ensued after it was shot.

For one there were problems with the movies, according to Hilton. The first one came out to a running time of 53 minutes. According to Arnold Stein of Old Pueblo, who’s distributor of the Hilton’s movies, this was due to editing fuck ups by Valentine. Valentine’s claiming the running time is due to creative control decisions made by Rebecca Hilton’s husband, George. The movie was supposed to run 84 minutes. Hilton stars in every sex scene that includes a masturbation scene, a girl-girl, Hilton working with Jack Spade and then performing oral sex on her husband- for a total of four scenes. Valentine supposedly warned the Hiltons that a short running time wasn’t going to cut it for sales.

It’s Valentine, though, who’s claiming he’s owed money by the Hiltons. Hilton’s saying he owes her money, that somehow checks supposedly made out to Valentine were actually earmarked for her. Hilton in interviews has said that Stein gave her the heads up and showed her how she was being swindled.

But anything after these few salient facts becomes as clear as mud in an ancient Sicilian sulfur mine. Valentine and Haze got served with papers this past January in Vegas. Don Hollywood was enlisted as their attorney because Hilton decided to sue in Los Angeles. Except Hilton and her husband live in New Mexico where they’re basically millionaire real estate investors and not actually in the porn business. Meanwhile, Haze and Valentine live in Florida. A judge in Van Nuys on April 3rd said while this case seemed pretty intriguing- and it is- he didn’t think that Los Angeles was the proper venue for it. But Hilton’s saying the movies were shot in Los Angeles. Valentine is saying the movies were shot in Florida. See where’s this going?

Valentine, after the judge’s ruling, announced that the case was kicked out of court. But then Michael Fattorosi, an attorney, weighs in saying this is not really the case. Except Fattorosi’s not personally involved in the case except to the extent that his partner is. Fattorosi says that Craig Valentine made a number of public misstatements about the case in an interview with me. Like what I ask. For one, says Fattorosi, the fact that Ron Miller is his attorney not Don Hollywood. Ron Miller is Don Hollywood.

Hollywood, in an interview, also indicated that Hilton’s attorney had screwed up on some technicalities in filing papers and that Hollywood, politely, gave him a refresher course on what to do.

This week Rebecca Hilton was on the Howard Brown Live show announcing that Summer Haze was basically a liar. In the course of conversation, Hilton, thanks to the egging on of Devyn Devine, brought Stein publicly into the fracas. Stein’s not actively involved in the legal squabble between Hilton and Haze/Valentine per se other than the fact that Stein had business dealings in the past with Valentine. Except they had a falling out over money after Valentine brought the Hilton deal to him. Because of the falling out, Valentine’s saying that Stein goaded the Hiltons into the lawsuit. Stein’s saying he did no such thing and doesn’t want his name dragged into this. Valentine’s also made statements that Stein bounced a number of checks to him. The redeposit of two of those checks is basically the bone of contention, with the Hiltons believing that this was actually their money.

I spoke to Stein Saturday morning and Stein, who’s of the opinion that anyone who listens to Valentine is a fool, said he was going to prepare a statement. Although he admits that he bounced some checks to Valentine, Stein, who’s also taken some shots from Joe Laughlin at AMA for past business dealings, is also claiming that he’s squared up with Valentine as well as Laughlin. So far, Stein has refused to air any laundry in public including gossip and rumors that he was raided by the IRS. Stein claims that never happened.

The Hiltons and Haze/Valentine first met at Hedonism 3. This was before Rebecca Hilton got plastic surgery. And Valentine has made comments that Hilton got the makeover with the idea to look like Summer Haze. During the course of their relationship with the Hiltons, Hilton’s husband George said he wanted to make his wife a porn star and that he would pay Valentine to make a movie starring his wife.

Supposedly the agreement was that Hilton’s husband would pay the talent and the productions costs. Valentine was to make the movie and replicate the product while Hilton would take care of selling it. Which brings Stein into the picture. Stein, who was once the distributor for haze, was also going to distribute the Hiltons’ movies. Stein then drove out to Erotica LA to meet with the Hiltons to firm the deal. According to what Valentine has said in the past, by this time, Stein had allegedly bounced a number of checks to him. Valentine supposedly had a conversation with Stein saying he wanted matters squared up before he turned the Hiltons over to him. Valentine’s claiming he has a total of eleven bounced checks from Stein. But Stein’s claiming to have paperwork that he made good on all checks with wires to cover them. Except Stein puts the number at several checks.

By now the Hilton movies were shot and in the can, and the Hiltons made the decision to go with Stein. Only Stein told them that money from two of the bounced checks Valentine re-deposited [they cleared this time] was theirs. Stein says so in a September 6 letter to the Hiltons. For his part, Valentine’s long stated that Stein was simply paying him money he owed him for his product. How all of a sudden did two of those checks become the property of the Hilton’s? That’s why we have a lawsuit brought on by the worked-up Hiltons who are convinced that Valentine stole money from them.
