Well, that was her choice as a legal adult with cash to pay for it. Asking a porn girl NOT to get enhancements is liking asking a cloud not to rain. Girls who flatly stated that never in a million years would they consider a boob job usually get one within their first year in porn, don't they? I'm sure of you were naked on camera 100 times a year, and splashed all over the Internet for anyone to see and comment on, your self-image of what your body was like might lead you do things that made you feel happier about that self-image – even if you had a perfect body.
I just saw an update on Catalina Cruz's blog, that she has signed Lela Star to a four-year contract. Whether this is going to be a hardcore site, or a site with Lela sharing the origin of words is left to be seen.
^Yeah the same network of sites includes Carmella Bing, Sienna West, Brooke Banner and Austin Kincaid, who all still makes movies (well actually I'm not positive about Austin now that I think about it). It also includes girls who don't make movies anymore, like Sandra Romain. So you can't really say either way what this contract means for Lela making movies in the future.
Contracts suck. Come on people don't fool yourselves. She was everywhere till she signed a stupid contract. Why do you think the thread is called Where is Lela Star??? Anyway.
pornranter, you realize that she WANTED to sign a contract, it was her whole goal for doing BG scenes in the first place. When we worked together for Vivid, it was because they were thinking about signing her.
More than anything. I remember when she was on Vivid's radar and I could see why. Then I saw her a year later and hardly recognized her. Still as sweet as could be but physically, it was like talking to an entirely different person...even if her then-new boobs were wicked nice. [Link]
In her last few posts here on ADT she tried to argue that she didn't do anything to her face. Hilarious. If you are going to make those decisions for yourself because it is something you want, then at least be a big enough person to be honest about it. Did she think we were all blind? As for the contract and her career, it killed it. Then she said she didn't want to do boy/girl anymore, only girl/girl. Now she has signed with Catalina Cruz so who knows what she will do.

For the girls it's probably good because they don't have do fuck as much (it's easy money), but what about the consumer? Ain't that why you watch porn? To see her get fucked. My point is how many movies has she made since signing? Before that she was making all kinds of movies and getting the cover as well. I'm not trying to argue. She was putting out good stuff with good companies like Jules Jordan, Evil Angel, Elegant Angel. It's like free agency. I think a lot of people liked her before the whole contract thing I'm one of the many, and good for her if she made life easier on herself, but your not going to see much of her (and if you do is it gonna be good or teasey bullshit just to get your cash). These companies are all about the money (for the company). Their gonna dangle her over your nose like raw bacon to a starving dog and all you get is a smell for what you paid for, and besides how many girls sign contracts and still look the same 1% maybe? Sorry I got my opinion too. I want to see her get fucked hard. I work too hard for my cash. Well we'll see how much we see of her by the end of the year, but with all due respect I'd like to see her again augmented or not.
She did not get Botox in her lips. If she did they would not move. She had a filler put in them to make them bigger. I also have to say that girls with contracts right now are smart and lucky. Its job security and in a struggling economy and changing industry Im sure its nice to know your sitting pretty. I understand that you want to see more of her but if you had a choice between a sure pay check every month or wondering if your gonna be able to pay the rent I am certain you would pick the sure thing. Also, if you read the press release for the new contract she signed you will see that it is only for a website. She is not locked into another exclusive performing contract. Lela has always been very nice to me and what ever she chooses to do with her career, body, whatever is up to her. I wish her well.
Of course what was I thinking? Lol! She is so selfish to think about herself. Lela if your out there...take off your lips, take out your boobs, and start fucking everyone right now!!!!! Your fans command you and the great wizard of porn has spoken!!!!

There are no "sure things," "sure pay checks every month," or "job security" in this day and age. If any of these companies that have contract girls go broke, or just decide to stop paying their girls, the girls are, for practical purposes, going to be shit out of luck, notwithstanding any theoretical legal remedies they may have against the companies. I think it makes more sense for girls who are in demand to just work as much as they possibly can for as long as they possibly can, and try to have enough self-discipline not to piss the money away on clothes, cars, etc. Having money in the bank is "security." Having an expectation, or a hope, that some porno company is still going to be solvent, and paying you, three or six or nine months from now is an illusion of security.
Well as of right now I know a whole lot of freelance performers who are not and have not worked in a while. All the contract girls I know are still getting their monthly checks.
Oh jeeez where do I start. First of all this thread just makes me laugh out load. seriously I read this and started craking up! My dog cupcake was looking at me like what the hell is my problem. Im very happy where I am and I am sure sitting pretty. :) Ive been traveling allot and just kind of relaxing while I was waiting to get out of my contract. Well Im out now and I dont plan to do any more BG. so :P Its not about you guys honestly to me its about making myself happy. And Im over doing BG. So hah! Lol Im pretty much only going to be doing my site which will be launched next month and maybe just maybe if u catch a live web show on there u can see me blowing a guy I fuck in my personal life. Or guys...lol. There will be allot of hot stuff on there actually and its going to be totally exclusive and personal. And as far as feature dancing I wouldnt hold my breath on that one. The whole sequence outfits and jaz hand are soooo not my thang. I will be shooting select GG scenes only with companys that matter.....and those companys know who they are. And I will be shooting my Penthouse pet layout soon. Alrighty silly jelly beans now u got some info to marinate on and talk more shit about. Lol love it! Besos Lela Star

Whoa...Lela. I sold Lelas movies while at Club Jenna. The first one did very well, pre op. From then on it was not so easy to get the numbers out the door. Judging by her last post, my advice to all girls in the business is know where your bread is buttered. This is a fickle crowd, one minute you are the cat's meow, then the next minute , due to the way you treat people and fans especially, you are old news. If you think you're doing someone a favor by doing girl/girl, you are not. Club jenna has been out of business since Playboy stopped making DVDs 2 months ago. Not new news. Do they have a ton of shit in the can, yes, will it be released, maybe, probably. Have they shot new stuff, no. A contract is as thin as the paper it is written on, no one can prevent someone from making a living. Especially if the contract is written in the state of California. The only state it is tough to get out of a contract is Florida. The one thing I think is questionable, is the statement, it's not about you guys, it's about me. Actually it is about you guys, without you guys there is no Lela Star, Jenna Jameson, or any other actress. It is all about you guys. Without the fans, the girls don't make a living. Some girls find this out , excuse the expression, the hard way.
I never buy movies from any of the companies mentioned. Their scenes suck. I did hardcore porn (it's just my opinion). Has anyone even scene Jenna's movies they pretty much all suck. She got far because she had the ultimate girl next door look, and I think fans held on (I was one) to see her take it to the next level. Does Jenna even care about porn now. She milked it for all it was, and didn't even really do anyting nasty. Take Tiffany Mynx for instance who came out about the same time. In like 1 year she made more scenes than Jenna did in her whole career. Fast forward to now and look where both of these actresses are today. As a fan who's scenes would you rather see. I don't know about you ,but for me the choice is simple. Lela came out strong, but now she's put away. I'd like to remember her for what she's done to the industry as well as my cock. Not for how much money she made. I know she needs to take care of her self, but there's no popularity in being absent for out screens.
If its only girl/girl I don't think she's making much $$$$. Not many women willing or able to spend $500/hour. So I guess when she says she's over doing B/G she means on video.
Lela's one of the most passionate performers I've ever seen in a B/G scene. I'm sorry she's no longer interested. I can't pretend to know what's in her head. I just know you don't see that level of passion from 1% of the performers in the industry. She and I talked about it, *very* briefly when I first met her a few years ago. It's too bad for us. I hope you're happy with your choices Lela. Dr. P
