Jazella Moore MILF Movies Get Hubbie Fired

The Fort Myers Beach, Fla., town council fired Town Manager Scott Janke after learning his wife, Anabela Mota, is an adult film star.

The Fort Myers Beach, Fla., town council fired Town Manager Scott Janke after learning his wife, Anabela Mota, is an adult film star.

Being married to Jazella Moore, star of MILF porn movies, was apparently just a little bit more than the law would allow in Fort Myers Beach.

By firing Fort Myers Beach, Fla., Town Manager Scott Janke, Town Council members hoped to avoid negative attention before news leaked that Janke’s wife is an adult film star.

That plan may have backfired.

The story about Janke, fired Tuesday after council members learned that his wife, Anabela Mota, is the adult video actress known as Jazella Moore, has put local and national spotlights on the town of 6,500 residents.

Town hall officials have been flooded with media inquiries — including invitations to Mayor Larry Kiker to appear on the syndicated Inside Edition and NBC’s Today— and e-mails from residents angered by Janke’s termination.

The story made headlines as far away as Alaska and has popped up on numerous websites.

They wrote “popped up”!  Ha!

“It’s not good,” Kiker said Thursday. “It was on a talk show on (Florida’s east coast) this morning. (And) we’ve gotten threats.”

Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, called the firing an example of poor decision making.

“This might go down as one of the top 10 poor judgments by public officials in Florida history,” Simon said.

Janke, who had worked for the town since March 2008, canceled all media interviews around midday Thursday, saying his wife is upset by all the attention. Janke added his family needs some time to process the past few days’ events. The couple’s three teen children left the state Wednesday.

“It’s been overwhelming,” said Janke, 55, pointing out he has gotten support from residents who said he should not have been fired.

In an article on Adult Industry News, a website that follows the adult entertainment industry, Janke said he and his wife believed the news would get out eventually.

“We have thought about it and tried to keep a low profile,” he said. “I guess we knew it would happen one day, but hoped that it wouldn’t really matter.”

Janke also described a close call the couple had when they attended a gala affair that included U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fla., as a guest.

“We sat at his table, with Anabela next to the congressman. The next morning she was on NBC News with the congressman next to her,” and she was concerned that her career would become public, Janke said in the article.

Mack had no comment on the situation Thursday.

Mota is 43, and according to Adult Industry News, has had her Jazella Moore website for the past 18 months. She and Janke were married in October 2008.

The Town Council voted unanimously to fire Janke without cause, meaning he will receive six months — or about $50,000 — worth of severance pay and benefits. According to the minutes of the meeting Tuesday, Kiker received a call from a reporter about Janke’s wife, and then called Janke.

In most states, the employer can fire you for any reason or no reason.  But this seems like a pretty dumb one.

There are more, um, interesting photos and videos of Jazella Moore easily available out there on the World Wide Web.  I’ll let you search those out for yourself.

The Mupets New Adult Film

The Jim Henson Co. has picked up a spec that might signal a daring turn into adult territory for the company behind Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear.

The Happytime Murders” is a comedic film noir murder mystery that will fall under the company’s Henson Alternative banner, a division that develops projects not intended for children. Brian Henson is on board to direct.

Written by Todd Berger from a story by Dee Austin Robertson and Berger, the story takes place in a world where humans and puppets co-exist, with the puppets viewed as second-class citizens. When the puppet cast of an ’80s children’s TV show called “The Happytime Gang” begins to get murdered one by one, a disgraced LAPD detective-turned-private eye puppet — with a drinking problem, no less — takes on the case.

This would not be the first time that Henson is delving into more adult fare. In 1982, the company made “The Dark Crystal,” which featured a dark tone and, in one scene, nudity. But “Happytime” also will have an absurdest and comedic quality to it, comparable to Broadway’s “Avenue Q,” and will take cues from such movies as “L.A. Confidential” and “Pulp Fiction.”

Berger, repped by the Kohner Agency and Kaplan/Perrone, wrote “Epic Proportions” for End Game Entertainment with John Landis directing and is writing the DVD project “Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five” for DreamWorks Animation.
