from www.examiner.com - A woman found murdered last week in Monrovia has been identified as Felicia Lee, 31 – perhaps better known as soft-porn star Felicia Tang. Her boyfriend, Brian Lee Randone, 45, has been arrested and charged with torture and murder. He is believed to be a former preacher.

Randone, originally from Nebraska, was also a mime who performed a “special brand of ministry” in 1996 at Baylor University. Baylor is a “nationally ranked Christian university” in Texas. It appears Randone then moved on to California seeking a career in show business, and was “Mr. Nebraska” on Fox’s Sexiest Bachelor in America, a “pageant” of eligible bachelors from around the country.

Lee is listed on various sites as a soft-core porn actress, staring in such films as “Asian Fever” and “Hotel Decadence.” Her more mainstream credits are listed as:

“Cradle 2 The Grave” (Movie/Production: Warner Brothers); “Rush Hour 2″ (Movie/Production: New Line Cinema); and she was featured in “The Fast And The Furious” (Movie/Production: Universal).

Under the California Penal Code , many are familiar with §187 as defining murder:

§187. (a) Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being, or a
fetus, with malice aforethought.

The additional charge, torture, is listed under Chapter 2, MAYHEM:

§206. Every person who, with the intent to cause cruel or extreme
pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion,
or for any sadistic purpose, inflicts great bodily injury as defined
in Section 12022.7 upon the person of another, is guilty of torture.

The crime of torture does not require any proof that the victim
suffered pain.

206.1. Torture is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison
for a term of life.

Ms. Lee’s web-site, FeliciaTang.com, appears to now be defunct, but seekers need simply Google her name and a plethora of web-sites and photographs (warning: many are nude photos) are available for viewing.

Randone is being held on $2 million dollars bail, and a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson avers the investigation is ongoing.

VENICE, CA – Maybe it’s just her way of letting the adult industry know she’s here, but Diamond Foxxx has achieved what most performers never do in their career: she’s on a magazine cover. This week the latest issue of hot new MILF mag MILFs in Heat hits the stands with Diamond on the cover with the headline “Double-D-Cup Diamond Foxxx Flawless Flesh Perfect Pussy!”

There’s no denying that the MILF market got a lot hotter when the busty blonde—whose rack actually measures triple-D’s came on the scene and it’s no accident that she’s been shooting with top photographers and production companies.

“When Diamond came in the office I knew I wanted to shoot her,” hotshot photographer Holly Randall said, “and when I saw her naked, I was blown away. What a body! I love Diamond almost as much as the camera loves her.”

This is the first magazine cover for Diamond, who has recently shot for Digital Playground, Wicked, Adam & Eve, Vivid, Brazzers, Bangbros, Jules Jordan, Nectar and others.

“I love what I do,” Diamond said, “but seeing myself on the cover of a magazine is one of the most surreal things ever. I can’t wait to take this with me when I go to West Palm Beach to feature later this month. I’m so proud!”

Diamond is also keeping busy starting up a production company with her husband and opening a filming studio in the valley. When she’s not shooting, she’s keeping busy in production meetings, writing scripts and building sets.

“I have so much going on right now,” she said. “I didn’t realize just how many opportunities there would be in this industry, and I plan on taking advantage of them all.”

Monrovia, California from www.sgvtribune.com - The man in jail on charges he tortured and murdered a former adult movie actress is an ex-preacher who dabbled in show business.

Brian Lee Randone, 45, holds a bachelor’s degree from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and a master’s of divinity degree from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, according to a brief 1996 biography on the Baylor University Web site.

Investigators say Randone suffocated his girlfriend, 31-year-old Felicia Lee, inside a Monrovia apartment last week. He is being held in lieu of $2 million bail.

Lee appeared in a number of adult movies and photo shoots under the stage name “Felicia Tang.”

Randone, 45, worked as a mime on the campus of Baylor University in Texas in 1996. He also appeared in the 2000 Fox reality show “The Sexiest Bachelor in America.”

The former preacher would seem an interesting match for Lee.

She modeled for videos aimed at the import car subculture and appeared in numerous magazines and calendars, and on Playboy television, according to her now-defunct Web site. Her credits in mainstream movies include appearances in “Rush Hour 2″ and “The Fast And The Furious.”

She also appeared in adult films including “Doctor Patient Privilege,” which was produced by Red Dragon, a Van Nuys-based adult entertainment company.

An industry acquaintance who directed Lee’s appearance in the soft-core feature “Hotel Decadence” recalled the actress as talented and upbeat.

“We’ve worked with her off on and on for quite a few years,” said the director, who identified himself only as Robby. “She was always pretty happy on set and laughing, and she always helped the crew get through the day.”

He said Lee was professional and easy-going.

A biography on Lee’s former Web site says the actress was born in Singapore and moved to Australia to study, before relocating with her family to Southern California.

VENICE, CA – Porn stars haven’t just crossed over into the mainstream, they are helping mainstreamers find even greater success. At the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards Eminem won Best Hip-Hop Video for “We Made You,” which featured XXX superstar Lisa Ann in a starring role, taking on the Sarah Palin character that has made her the most talked-about performer in the adult industry today.

“I was watching the show from my hotel room and flipped out when I saw that the video won,” she said. “I had such a great time making it and I’m really proud to be a part of something that became such a sensation. What could be more awesome than that?!”

Earlier this week she visited San Francisco where she did her first shoot for Kink.com, working again with James Deen.

“Nothing is hotter than that boy being the boss of me,” she said.

While some might rest on their laurels and party the week away in celebration, Lisa is heading back to Florida to entertain at the Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen’s Club in West Palm Beach.

“I suppose I could sit around and celebrate, but I’d rather head down to Florida and party with my people,” she said. “I love Florida and I know the excitement will show in my performance and in the audience’s reaction. These shows are going to knock their socks off!”

Lisa Ann’s performance schedule:
Thurs., Sept. 17: 10 pm & 12 am
Fri, Sept. 18: 9 pm, 11 pm and 1 am
Sat., Sept. 19: 9 pm, 11 pm and 1 am

VENICE, CA – if there is one thing associated with the great American Northwest, it’s rainy weather. For two days at least, expect that to end.

That’s because Lisa Ann is headed up for signings in Tacoma, WA, and Springfield, OR, this Friday and Saturday. The clouds will part, the fans will line up in that rare sunshine and all will be overwhelmed with the raw beauty of the one and only Lisa Ann.

“I’m a porn star, not a meteorologist, although I’ve probably played one in a movies at some point over the years, so I am hesitant to actually start predicting the weather,” Lisa admits, “but I have a very good feeling about this. There will be wetness, but it will be where it should be – in my panties!”

Before heading north, Lisa shot for Brazzers in Ft. Lauderdale, returned briefly to the valley and turned around for her brief northern tour.

www.examiner.com - The Barbi Twins called in to The Howard Stern Show on Thursday morning to talk about the plight of the animals in the recent California wildfires. The Barbi Twins, Shane and Sya Barbi, are former Playboy and pin-up models who reached the height of their popularity in the 1980s. Howard Stern took time to grill the Barbi Twins about their past successes and future plans.

The Barbi Twins sounded a lot older than the 46 years they claimed to be as they fumbled to conference call The Howard Stern Show with the dexterity of an octogenarian left to his own devices with an iPod—but at least they were calling in for a good cause. The Barbi Twins used the Howard Stern Show forum to highlight the lack of attention brought to the evacuation of animals from the wildfire-infested areas. The Barbi Twins offered a few quick tips on how to load your animals into your car properly when you’re fleeing a fire, and plugged their animal rescue organization: “The Kitty Liberation Front.”

The Barbi Twins say that they have permanently hung up their G-strings and our now dedicating all of their time to animal rescue. Howard Stern has become a vocal animal rescue advocate since he began his relationship with his second wife, Beth Ostrosky.

VENICE, CA – Diamond Foxxx has spent the past few years dabbling in the adult industry, racking up a few dozen titles since 2004. But it wasn’t until recently that she decided to take her career front and center.

Diamond has kept busy in recent months working for many of the industry’s biggest companies like Digital Playground, Wicked, Adam & Eve, Vivid, Brazzers, Bangbros, Jules Jordan, Nectar and others. But that’s just the beginning for this buxom beauty.

A native of Albany, GA, she hails from a Navy family and after her father retired in Virginia she settle down, Diamond got married and made her entrance into MILFdom. She later joined the navy, only to be discharged before her one-year anniversary for having sex. Having turned 21 in boot camp, she says there was “no way I was not going to screw anyone I wanted!”

She soon met her current husband and the pair moved to Key West, where she discovered the world of porn. She originally started performing to earn money to invest in real estate, but it wasn’t long before she realized she craved having sex with strange men on camera.

“I really loved knowing men were watching me fuck and knowing they were getting their stiff dicks off to me!” she recalls. “It was such a turn-on.”

Performing in adult fare isn’t the only thing on her agenda: standing at 5-feet even and weighing only 90 pounds with an amazing 34DDD bust, she is custom built for feature dancing and has signed on with Lee Network and plans to hit the stage in the coming weeks.

She and her husband are also keeping busy readying a “full service film studio” in Van Nuys that they hope to have operating by September 15. They are also looking for talent for to shoot for three new sites they are in the process of creating.

“With so much going on right now there’s no way I could get the word out by myself,” Diamond confesses. “There are only so many hours in a day and I’m happy to bring Rising Star on board to help me promote my projects, whether it be performing, featuring or running the studio. Things are about to explode and I refuse to move forward on these major projects quietly!”
