i was reading an article in business week about the Vivid corporation it was pretty interesting the Stars have production company contracts just like big name stars... they sign for a certain amout of movies and then Vivid owns their ass for the term of the contract. Failure to appear in one of their films or if you appear in a film out of the production company is a breach of contract and the star is liable to get sued. They make about 400,000 a year depending on their popularity... the Vivid main stars are Jenna Jameson, Raylene, Kina Kener, Sunrise Adams and a few others... they got Randy Spears and Tony Tadechi too.
