The Howard Stern Porno DVD Release Party at Pink Cabaret

Even with all his self-professed shortcomings, shock jock Howard Stern was bound to be tied to a porno movie someday. And while the "Howard Stern Porno" doesn't actually star Stern, it does feature actors in Stern masks having sex in the DJ's chair at his old WXRK studios, before he moved to Sirius satellite radio.
Of course, that footage was supposed to have been destroyed or lost long ago. Word on the street is when Stern got wind of the footage (all shot by Stern wack packer Cabbie, prior to his being banned from Stern's show in 2007), he was really upset and tried to block the release of the footage.
Epic fail for Stern. The footage survived, and is now being released on DVD in the "Howard Stern Porno" by none other Taryn It Up Productions, run by porn star and Valley resident Taryn Thomas. The DVD release party at Pink Cabaret on Wednesday, April 29, marked the first release by Thomas' production company, and featured a slew of notables.
The club itself is very posh -- two floors, granite counter tops, tons of big screen plasma TVs, comfy leather furniture, and mirrors everywhere. The setting was fitting for some of the biggest names in the adult film industry and the local entertainment business. As countless big-busted babes shook their asses on stage to everything from Snoop Dogg to My Chemical Romance, the VIPs lived up to their acronyms.
First, there was Edge 103.9 DJ Tim Virgin, who is never one to miss a party that features booze and boobs. Virgin spent most of the night at the bar, mingling with busty blondes.
Of course, Thomas herself was also in attendance, looking stunning in a classic little black dress and chatting it up with her many admirers. She was accompanied by British porn sensation Poppy Morgan, who was sporting a slinky, $450 dress.
The legendary Ron Jeremy was also in attendance, hanging out in the VIP area and watching the strippers intently. Jeremy's a very hands-on guy, and he probably got more booby in hand than any of the men in the club who were shelling out for lap dances. Even the dudes love Ron Jeremy -- several men came up to him and said, "You're the man." (Interesting and tangential aside -- Jeremy plays the harmonica quite well).
Ironically, the man who shot the footage for the "Howard Stern Porno," Cabbie, was also at the club, but pretty much invisible all night. He spent the early part of the evening hidden near the DJ booth, and had disappeared into the estrogen ether by midnight. The only quote we got from Cabbie (way earlier in the day) was, "I told Howard Stern to go fuck himself."
Pink Cabaret was pretty packed by midnight, and dollar bills began raining down from the balcony and onto the stage. And although Ron Jeremy was the super-wallflower, sitting in a booth with fans approaching him all night, Thomas was definitely the star of the show, followed by fans wherever she went.

Captain Janks lands in jail

It looks like the jokes have come to an end for Capt. Janks of Howard Stern radio show fame -- at least until he gets out of jail.
The comedian has been accused of standing up businesses that paid him in advance for performances he never gave, and he has been in the Montgomery County Prison in Norristown since last week.
Capt. Janks, whose real name is Thomas M. Cipriano, 43, of North Wales, Montgomery County, turned himself in last Thursday to face charges in Bucks and Montgomery counties.
Court records show he appeared before three district judges before being committed to Montgomery County's jail after not posting bail in the three cases.
Capt. Janks was part of the "Wack Pack," a group of regulars who appear on Stern's satellite radio show. According to the show's Web site, Capt. Janks began appearing on the show in 1989 and had a farewell appearance Dec. 1, 2005.
He made a name for himself by making prank calls to radio and television shows and slipping in a Howard Stern reference before the hosts caught on and hung up.
Howard Stern gave Capt. Janks a chance to defend himself against allegations that he fraudulently accepted appearance fees during a phone interview on the show Feb. 23. A summary of the interview is on the show's Web site and its title, "The Oxy Made Him Do It," is mentioned in one of the arrest affidavits.
The Web site says that Capt. Janks told Stern he "had addiction problems" with prescription painkillers, but he got out of a drug rehabilitation facility that day and planned to move into a sober house.
Capt. Janks refers to himself as the "King of Phoney, Phoney Phone Calls" and helped popularize the phrase "Baba Booey," a reference to Stern's producer.
State police at Dublin did not identify Cipriano as Capt. Janks in its news release.
The news release said Cipriano is a comedian who was paid to perform at the Indian Rock Inn in Upper Black Eddy in late October last year but never showed up. The inn, located along the Delaware River in Bridgeton Township, Bucks County, filed a complaint with state police Dec. 1.
Owner Tom Schweder said Cipriano solicited him for the gig and requested advance payment of $350. Schweder said he also paid two musicians to support for Cipriano's routine and advertised the event. He attracted an audience that left disappointed.
"It made us look like stupid fools," Schweder said. "His Web site says he's retired and is going to make restitution. ... Six months of washing dishes here ought to get him out from under us."
Schweder said he is scheduled to attend Cipriano's preliminary hearing at 11:15 a.m. Monday at District Judge M. Kay Dubree's office in Bridgeton Township. Cipriano was arraigned by Dubree on theft by deception and theft by unlawful taking charges after he turned himself in last Thursday. He did not post bail -- 10 percent of $8,000. State police said he was taken to Montgomery County to face similar charges.
Court records show he was arraigned on theft charges filed by the police departments in Cheltenham and Plymouth townships. Bail in both of those cases was set at $2,500.
An arrest affidavit in the Cheltenham Township case alleges Cipriano received $350 from the Edgehill Tavern in December for an appearance Feb. 20, which based on the interview with Howard Stern was a date he spent in drug rehab.
According to other published reports, Cipriano was arrested in New Jersey earlier this year under similar circumstances. Schweder said state police told him there are are about a dozen incidents under investigation.
A message on the Cipriano's Web site, www.captainjanks.tk says, "Captain Janks' tour has been cancelled for '09 due to personal issues. He has been in rehab, and is also dealing with medical and personal issues. He has lost everything…. He apologizes to all the fans, and clubs he has been booked at to do shows, and will be in touch with those places in the near future to reschedule or refund deposits. Again, he apologizes, and is officially retired from the business. Thank you to all for the support."
