KNOXVILLE, TN — In the academic world, the phrase that pays is “Publish or perish.” In the world of adult entertainment, the equivalent may well be “Kiss and tell.” Whatever words one chooses to use, their power can be far reaching, as a porn star and a Tennessee Highway Patrolman recently discovered.Although no trace of a blog can currently be found on Barbie Cummings’ website, both the mainstream press and blogosphere report that her words aren’t just read by the usual suspects – but also the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

According to news accounts, Cummings was stopped for speeding in Wilson County during the very early morning of Monday, May 7th by State Trooper Randy Moss. While returning from her aunt’s house in order to care for her puppies, her car was pulled over for speeding. Upon inspection of the vehicle, Moss was also able to see that its driver had left a bottle of alcohol in the back seat. Upon questioning of Cummings, he further learned that she had what she calls “happy pills” in her possession. While these things in themselves may not be remarkable, the manner in which the officer proposed to resolve the potentially expensive, inconvenient, and embarrassing situation is.

As the star of Black Cock Addiction 3, Ass Juice Junkies, and This Butt’s 4 U reports in a blog entry quoted in part by the Wate 6 News website, that once she revealed her profession to Moss and he’d visited her blog site and viewed two video clips via the laptop in his patrol car, he warned her that her transgressions could mean six months of monitored probation and restrictions against her ability to travel to California for work — then he proposed an elegant solution to her problem.

After confessing that he would have loved to have entered the adult industry as a performer and quizzing her about what male stars she had fucked, Moss allegedly complimented her beauty, asked repeatedly whether she was hiding anything on her person, and – while scattering her narcotics roadside brush – what it would cost for someone such as himself to “get anything like you.”

“I said to him,” the blog reads, “’If you weren’t working’… and he said, ‘don’t worry about me working!’ I said, ‘Okay, right now?’ He asks me to follow him to some desolate place he knew about, I did.”

Once in the desolate place, Cummings claims that the two engaged in sexual contact inside of the police car, before moving “to the back, cause he didn’t want to take the chance of anyone pulling in. We were in the middle of nowhere, and it was 3 am-ish, there was no one to be found. Either way, he wanted to be safe.”

Alas for Moss, who was placed on paid administrative leave on May 11th after a Tennessee Highway Patrol employee uncovered the situation, “safe” didn’t include remembering that he was illicitly banging a porn star with a blog.

Most damning to the officer are the photos and video that he shot in order to commemorate the encounter and which Cummings both mentioned in her blog and claimed to have in her possession. According to news accounts, the performer met with agents from the Criminal Investigations Division of the Tennessee Highway Patrol and handed over the images in order to assist with their investigation.

“I loved every minute of it,” Cummings’ blog is said to reveal, “and want to do it again next time I go to my aunt’s house.”

Chances are good she won’t be co-starring with Officer Moss.
