Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis has been cut from the upcoming season of ‘Celebrity Apprentice.’ Even though Donald Trump pushed for Francis and really wanted him on the show, the sponsors wouldn’t hear of it — so Joe is out.
On a brighter note, Joe says that he and Mr. Trump have reached an agreement to do another television show that he’s even more excited about.

From XFANZ:
The Girls Gone Wild franchise plans a new product to add to its portfolio: Girls Gone Wild magazine.
The new magazine will be based on the pop-culture video phenomenon, Girls Gone Wild videos, will start out as a bimonthly and debut April 15.
Girls Gone Wild Magazine editors plan pictorials and content featuring the company’s tours and events. The magazine also plans a DVD outsert with every issue.
It should be interesting to see how a GGW magazine turns out from a financial perspective. I’m sure it will no doubt be a good magazine, but circulation of every print publication both mainstream and adult has been in steady decline in recent years. More and more people are simply choosing to get their news and their porn online rather than in print.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Trouble just seems to find Joe Francis. Two women who allege that sexually explicit footage was released without their consent on two DVDs are suing the “Girls Gone Wild” founder in federal court.
Brooke Pastolic and Christina Brose allege that they were enticed aboard the Girls Gone Wild bus and plied with free apparel and drinks, even though both girls were under 21. According to the lawsuit, both women allege they were coerced into exposing themselves and engaging in sexual acts after being promised the footage would not be used for commercial purposes.
While Pastolic and Brose claim they did not consent to be filmed, even if they did, due to their inebriated state, their consent was obtained illegally.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
Francis is currently jailed in Nevada on federal tax evasion charges. Francis pled not guilty in that case but elected to stay in jail to avoid extradition to Florida, to avoid arrest on charges of possessing contraband and drugs while being imprisoned there in May.
Exacerbating Francis’ legal woes, he’s also charged in Florida with using minors in sexual performances and prostitution.
Kevin Mercuri, Fracis’ spokesman, did not immediately return a message from XBIZ seeking comment.

Dear TMZ,
I returned to my cell the other day after a leisurely walk through the Washoe County Detention Center yard and received a message from Deputy Keast, the Public Information Officer, that you had called. To be honest, I was hoping that my penpal, Candy Spelling, had written me again, but to my dismay I was told that you just wanted to know how I felt about Paris being released from jail early. I was then handed a TMZ.com article titled “American I-Cons”. I just thought since I seem to have some extra time on my hands these days that I would like to take a moment to set the record straight.
The “American I-Cons” title is a very clever play on words, but unlike in Paris’s current situation, the title does not apply to me. I am not in jail because I have been CONvicted of a crime, but am merely awaiting a chance to vindicate myself.Paris’s early release from jail did not surprise me, nor unfortunately, did her return to jail a day later. My heart goes out to Paris, not only because I consider her a friend, but because I have experienced first hand that incarceration is not set up for high-profile people. In my experience to date, when jail personnel are told to give no special treatment to an individual because of who they are, it normally results in them getting far worse treatment. I must however tell you that this has not been my experience at the Washoe County Detention Center, where my treatment has been fair and where the staff is very considerate. However, the stark reality that I’ve encountered in the five previous facilities I’ve been in is that celebrities are segregated from other inmates, and it can be quite a lonely existence with no human contact. It seems as though Paris is seeing this first hand now that she’s been sent back to jail to serve her original 45 day sentence. If her name was Jane Doe and everything else in the case remained unchanged, she would never have served a day in jail. As Los Angeles County Sheriff Baca said on Friday: “The special treatment appears to be her celebrity status. She got more time in jail.” I empathize with Paris, because I believe I too would not still be in jail were it not for my “high profile status.”
Your story also outlined 3 other things: living conditions, food, and free time.
When you discussed my living quarters, you brought up the fact that I was in my own cell until I passed my tuberculosis test. Well, I studied hard and took a Princeton Review crash course and passed it with flying colors. I also passed my HIV test and my hepatitis test as well, so feel free to post the rest of my confidential medical history on TMZ.com, as you and others have done on in the past. I wouldn’t want your readers to be getting any incomplete information.
My living arrangements are more than adequate. My cell is actually nicer than my USC dorm room. Yes, it doesn’t have cable, but it doesn’t have the cockroaches either.
When you discussed food, you mentioned that I was eating “catfood sandwiches, a mix of ground turkey mixed with mayo, and franks n’ beans.” Well, those two delectable dishes, among others, are offered free of charge to all inmates, but the WCDC also offers inmates the option to order from a local restaurant - “The Burger Barn.” My diet actually consists of mostly chicken-Caesar salads with crisp romaine lettuce and half-dressing (my trainer would be proud) usually with a Diet Coke. If I really want to splurge, I may order a Powerbar or two for dessert.
This “free time” thing took me by surprise. I would love to know who gave you the information that I’m out of my cell 8 hours a day. It’s probably more like half that. It is during this time that I have the fortunate privilege of meeting new “friends” such as car thieves, drug dealers and murderers. It should make for an interesting night at HYDE when the “gang” and I get back together for a reunion.
Feel free to post a mugshot or two (this one is by far the best). Blue is my color over bright orange for sure, but please remember one thing: In this country anyone who stands accused of a crime is innocent until proven guilty, even if they are a celebrity. I urge that there be no rush to judgment, because you may be wrong. I am still an innocent man standing accused, stuck in jail not because I’ve been CONvicted of a crime, but rather due to a legal quagmire. I have faced far worse things in the past and I am confident that I will prevail again.
Your Friend,
Joe Francis

RENO, Nev. — After a Tuesday release, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis has chosen to remain in jail, his lawyer said, in order to avoid another jail sentence — without bail — for new charges in Florida, where he previously served time for contempt of court.
Francis was relocated to the Nevada jail last month after a federal judge ruled that his $20 million tax-fraud charges took precedence over those he had been held for at the time in Florida. In April, Francis turned himself in to Panama City, Fla., officials to serve his 35-day sentence.
Francis’ defense lawyer, David Houston, told the Associated Press that Francis’ attorneys decided the adult producer should stay in Reno after learning of new decisions made by the Florida judge.
Florida Circuit Judge Dedee Costello refused bail to Francis Tuesday on his 2003 charge of using minors in his videos, and has ordered Francis also be charged with possession of a controlled substance, as well as possession of contraband. In April, Francis was discovered carrying prescription sleeping pills while serving his Florida sentence at Bay County Jail.
Houston said he called off Francis’ bail post of $1.5 million, which had been posted Tuesday.
“If I post [bail], Francis goes to Florida, and it took us a month to get him here,” Houston said. “There’s no reason for me to want to send him back to that environment. We had hoped he’d be out today.”
Kevin Mercuri, a press representative for Francis, told XBIZ that Francis has not yet made an official statement regarding his decision to stay in Reno.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee State Senate this week voted unanimously to pass the so-called “Girls Gone Wild bill” — despite the fact that Tennessee Attorney General Robert E. Cooper had issued an opinion stating that portions of the legislation are “constitutionally suspect.”
According to the text of the bill as published on the website for the Tennessee state legislature, the bill “creates a new offense of advertising or promoting the sale, production, distribution, exhibition or display” of obscene materials in the state.
If passed in the state House of Representatives, the Senate Bill 14 (SB14) would also make it unlawful “for the owner or an employee of a television station or cable television company that broadcasts in this state to knowingly accept or solicit for advertising material that is obscene, harmful to minors, or in violation of the above-described federal law, or for such a company or station to actually and knowingly promote or advertise such content.”
In an opinion letter dated May 14, Cooper stated that while some sections of the bill closely track federal law regarding obscene materials and those aspects of the legislation are likely to withstand legal challenge, other sections of the proposed law are more dubious constitutionally.
“Given the extensive federal regulation of the content of programming on television, it is possible that a court could determine that [the bill] is preempted to the extent it applies to public or private television broadcasts,” Cooper wrote in his opinion.
“Moreover, Section 4 of the proposed amendment to [Tennessee state code] is constitutionally suspect under the 1st Amendment because it lacks a ‘safe-harbor’ provision to allow the broadcasting of indecent material during hours when minors are unlikely to be viewing television, does not directly advance the governmental interest in restricting a minor’s access to material harmful to minors, and is more extensive than is necessary to serve that interest.”
The bill’s sponsor, Democratic State Sen. Doug Jackson, told the Associated Press that he was encouraged by Cooper’s evaluation of the bill, and said that the legislation is designed to apply only to material that a jury determines to be obscene.
“If a jury says the product is obscene, what we’re saying is the cable companies can be held responsible,” Jackson said. “Why should they be allowed to make money off a product that they know or should have known is obscene?”
The portion of the bill that Cooper termed “constitutionally suspect,” states in part that it is an offense for “the owner or employee of a public or private television station or the owner or employee of a cable television company… that broadcasts for public viewing or paid subscription viewing in this state to solicit, accept or cause to be solicited or accepted, advertising for any material that is harmful to minors.”
According to Jeffrey Douglas, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, the fact that the bill provides no “safe harbor” provision that allows for the broadcast of material that is deemed inappropriate for minors but fine for adults will likely prove the bill’s undoing in court, should it be signed into law.
“Beyond being bad policy, the bill is indefensible, legally,” Douglas told XBIZ. “These efforts by states to ban speech that they don’t like are facially unconstitutional.”
In addition to the lack of a safe harbor provision, Douglas said it is not clear whether states have the legal authority to regulate cable TV content, at all. Even the Federal Communications Commission does not have clear authority to regulate cable television the way it does broadcast TV, Douglas observed.
“The ability of a state to regulate cable content is highly questionable,” Douglas said. “One can imagine how insane it would be if every state could regulate cable content — every cable company would have to have different programming for every state.”
The bill has little chance of passing in the Tennessee House of Representatives during the current legislative session, according to AP reports, as a companion bill was tabled by a House subcommittee in April, after it received no support from members of either party.
Despite the reservations of legal experts, including his own state’s Attorney General, Jackson said he believes the bill will pass in the state House next year, during the second session of the 105th General Assembly. This would ultimately stop Girls Gone Wild from advertising on television in Tennessee

Looks like Joe Francis’ new digs — another Florida prison — are turning his frowns into smiles, if this exclusive mugshot is any indication.
TMZ has learned that Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis was moved last night from his cell in Bay County Jail — which was making him cry “every day,” sources told us — to a facility in nearby Jackson County, all under the watchful eye of US Marshals. The federal government, according to sources, is planning to take Francis to Nevada in the next day or so to face tax evasion charges there.
Francis was a no-show in Judge Dee Dee Costello’s courtroom this morning, even though he was scheduled to face criminal charges today — of using minors in a sexual performance. An official in the Florida State’s Attorney’s office tells TMZ that his office has filed a motion with federal judge Richard Smoak to prevent Francis from leaving the state.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — “Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis will be sent to Nevada to face tax evasion charges after he finishes his 35-day sentence in a Florida jail for contempt of court.
On Thursday, Federal Magistrate Judge Larry Bodiford ruled that Francis’ tax evasion charges in Reno, Nev., took precedence over the charges of sexual battery he’s facing in Florida. Court dates for the two hearings clashed on May 22.
Florida authorities wanted to keep Francis in custody until a trial for the sexual battery charges could begin, but he will go to Nevada to face charges filed in April accusing him of deducting more than $20 million in false business expenses on his companies’ 2002 and 2003 corporate income tax returns.
The indictment claims Francis used offshore bank accounts and entities purportedly owned by others to conceal income he earned during 2002 and 2003.
If convicted, Francis could be sentenced to as much as 10 years in prison and fines of up to $500,000.
Francis is also facing a misdemeanor charge for sexual battery after a January incident at a birthday party in Hollywood, Calif., where he is accused of touching an 18-year-old woman’s breast, buttocks and inner thigh at least 10 times, despite being asked repeatedly to stop.
Francis faces six months in jail and a $2,000 fine if found guilty of the sexual battery.
