LOS ANGELES — Adult performer Bobbi Starr is expanding her writing repertoire with a regular column in Fox magazine and contributions to two mainstream websites.

Starr’s column for Fox, “Adventures in Pornyland,” will be written in her stream of consciousness style and detail the day-to-day grind of life on the set and her more memorable occurrences during the month.

For Valentine’s Day, Fox contributed her five favorite romantic comedies to FilmInFocus.com, the editorial website of mainstream film producer Focus Features. She will also post on the hard rock website MetalSucks.com and continue her weekly blog entries for PopPorn.com.

“I have a lot of creativity and I’m very happy that I have all these ways to express them, whether it’s on camera or through the printed word,” Starr said.

“As my fans know, I have a wide range of interests and the varied subjects of my involvement — from being in adult movies, to writing about them, giving my opinion about metal and listing my favorite romantic comedies — reflects that,” she added.

Starr’s column in Fox will premiere in April and her weekly posts in MetalSucks.com will begin in March.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — RedTube won’t have open subpoena power in its quest to find those thought to be responsible or have knowledge in the redirection of RedTube traffic on July 24, a federal judge ruled today.

RedTube attorneys last week asked the court for an expedited discovery process without having to identify subpoenaed individuals.

RedTube parent company Bright Imperial Ltd. of Hong Kong is seeking $6 million in damages against unknown defendants. The company has named 20 John Does in its complaint filed at U.S. District Court in San Jose.

RedTube said it lost “millions of visits” by its customers by the hackers’ efforts, as well as lost value to advertising rates that are dependent upon its traffic.

The request for open subpoena power was made after RedTube said one of its attorneys was subject to an anonymous 140-word threat that was sent via email.

Thayer Preece was the recipient of the email “with implicit and explicit threats stemming from her representation of RedTube.” Preece is an associate of the Menlo Park, Calif., office of Sheppard Mullin Richter and Hampton, which handles all of RedTube’s civil litigation.

“Anyone who works with them or an attorney who represents them should ask themselves who they’re working for and what they’re being paid to do — it really just might not be worth it in the end,” said one of the passages in the email.

Using the email as ammunition in the case, RedTube asked U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg for an exception to discovery rules, seeking permission to serve subpoenas on the John Does.

Today, Seeborg asked RedTube to provide the court with 10 days a proposed order containing the names of the specific companies or entities it desires to subpoena.
