Some 'Baywatch' stars are scabs...
PUSSSYKATT
ONE of the luscious lifeguards on "Baywatch Hawaii" has a checkered past. Not
only was she a porn star, she was a scab. And crossing a picket line is worse,
according to her co-corkers, than crossing any moral line.
Brandy Ledford, the bathing beauty hired just last season, was recently
released from the show in favor of Hugh Hefner's girlfriend Brande Roderick -
and some say it might have to do with her past.
Ledford, aka Brandy Sanders, is well-known in the porn industry under her
nom-de-sleaze "Jisel." She not only posed for Penthouse, she also made a
Penthouse video and another, raunchier hardcore flick before she joined the
Hawaii-based show.
While some co-workers think it's a disgrace to have her on the "family-oriented
program," others laugh it off. "We're talking ‘Baywatch.' Who doesn't have a
porno history?" quipped one insider.
But what really has insiders fuming is the fact that Ledford and two of her
co-stars, Simmone MacKinnon and Stacy Kamano, worked on a non-union music video
while "Baywatch Hawaii" was on hiatus - violating Screen Actors Guild rules.
The three appeared in "Baywatch Hawaii" music director Dave Keffer's latest
video for his single, "Hottie Boombalottie."
Crew members are grumbling even more because Mackinnon, who also choreographed
the sexy shoot, isn't even American.
"She is an Australian working courtesy of a work visa, taking away American
jobs, [while] SAG is already on strike against commercial producers," said one
snitch.
A "Baywatch" rep confirmed the video shoot, but claimed, "The three girls did
it as a favor for the music director. We don't know anything about it and don't
know what the SAG situation is."
Regarding Ledford and MacKinnon's position on the show, the rep said: "[The
show's producers] are going in a different direction. They're trying to make
‘Baywatch' have more storylines. Some characters were added. Some were
dropped. No final decision has been made on Simmone."
This isn't the first trouble to hit the show this year. In February, PAGE SIX
revealed that there was tension between executive producers Greg Bonann and
David Hasselhoff. The tensions escalated when Bonan killed off Hasselhoff's
character without letting the star in on the secret.
A SAG spokeswoman didn't return calls.

is wrong, hell the guy worked on the show! Although Ledford was nice to
look at, I hope they do not can Mackinnon and Kamano, they are hot.

He had every chance to do the shoot under Union rules and with Union actors
(unless music video falls under the commercial contract in which case they
could not do it because of the strike). If he had, the *actors* wouldn't have
violated the agreements they signed when they joined the Union, which is the
only way they would be allowed on Baywatch.
Friend or no friend, if you sign a contract, you abide by it or you are in
breech. They should be drummed out. There are hundreds of other *Hotties* out
there to take their place. And keep you happy.
Think of them as fresh meat.

The Baywatch union anyway has always been out of whack.
They drove Baywatch out of California because the greedy Teamsters wouldn't
negotiate. They had a good, pampered deal going. Get paid $20 an hour to
drive Pamela Lee ten feet in a jeep. They basically were getting paid to do
nothing. The producers, cash strapped, tried to eliminate them, couldn't, and
had to flee to Hawaii where it's better.

Explain to me how a show that is syndicated all over the world is cash
strapped. Unless the producers are either pocketing everything or don't know
how to run a business.

The show has been losing money for the last few years. American ratings are
dead. And even though 95% of the rest of the world loves them, the money from
there isn't that great.
Baywatch is very expensive to make. Mainly because they shoot outside, instead
of in a simple studio. If they want to move anything, whether it's Pamela Lee
or the casts' lunch, the Teamsters have to do it. They charge full price, and
then some, for minor work. Ten feet in a jeep is worth a huge commission.
That money adds up and takes a huge chunk out of the budget, and thus a chunk
out of the dwindling profits.
Business is about making money not throwing it out the window. The producers
wanted to cut the needless costs. The Teamsters refused to compromise and
demanded MORE money for their "precious" work. The producers then dumped them
and went elsewhere. Now the union guys are jobless. They ruined a great deal
by being greedy.
I doubt Baywatch will last much longer. Hasselhoff is leaving and the show's
already broke again, begging Hawaii for a bailout.

It's funny because Mandela can get along with just about anybody. Chummy with
Castro, Arafat, Saddam Hussein, and Qadaffi. Friends with the Afrikaaners who
imprisoned/tortured him. Respected but disagreed with Margaret Thatcher,
Ronald Reagan, even Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.
But when asked about Jesse Jackson: HUGE asshole!

It must be the lavish sets and ornate costumes.

The world always has an appetite for trash.
betty
night. The whole show was running about 45 minutes behind schedule and the
press was on to have the receiving line move quickly. Jesse Jackson took
quite a bit of time with both Clinton and Mbeki.
I was really wishing they had them miked, as in The Real World gets invited
to a State Dinner.
Not one of the four looked very comfortable and I thought that odd.
Thanks for the information

Mbeki himself is a bit kooky. He keeps insisting that HIV doesn't cause AIDS,
but the evil Western medicine does. Don't take the medicine, use tribal
voodoo.
And he's called the most enlightened man in Africa.

All three hate each other. Jesse Jackson and Clinton have sparred for years.
Mbeki thinks Jackson is a joke. Jackson is jealous of Mbeki and the South
African leaders. Clinton is annoyed by Mbeki's kooky theories. Mbeki demands
Clinton give him an annual billion-dollar welfare check like Israel.
Did I get everybody in, lol.
