Degenerate Porn Star Stabbed to Death at Comfort Inn in Woodland Hills
On Tuesday a 53 year old on-again-off-again “porn star” Damien Michaels (real name Michael Conoscenti) was found dead apparently of multiple stab wounds in a room at the Comfort Inn at 20157 Ventura Blvd. I had begun hearing about this story on Friday, but held off on publishing it as LA Weekly was the only site carrying it and I don’t consider them a reliable source for homicide news. Plus, the only thing in their posts identifying the victim were the comments added by a clearly rambling drug addicted degenerate chick who must be the female companion of Consoscenti’s mentioned in the Fox 11 News video.
I was pretty surprised that this hadn’t been covered at all in the real media, which is why I was skeptical that it was totally a hoax. Fox 11 News wrote:
Woodland Hills (myFOXla.com) – There was a lot of mystery surrounding an early morning murder in Woodland Hills earlier this week. It happened right across from Taft High School on Ventura Boulevard.
Investigators did not release the victim’s name and there was nothing in the news.
Chris Blatchford has the bizarre story of a porn actor’s death in this video report.
I was able to talk to a friend of mine who works in the adult movie business and get his take on this Damien Michaels character. He tells me:
Damien Michaels was a completely worthless degenerate scumbag and a hustler. The guy has been addicted to crystal meth since he was about four years old, and was really never even slightly successful as either a porn star, or as a pimp. He was so drug riddled that he had lost most of his teeth, and I’ve heard a story once from some girl that was having lunch with him that one of his teeth fell out in his hamburger.
This guy was a total loser, and you can bet he was probably killed by one of his drug addicted friends.
The incoherent ramblings of a friend of the stabbing victim were posted on the two articles linked to at the end of this post (Topix/LA Weekly), and included in this message after the jump.

That man had a name! That man was loved!! That man was Michael Conoscenti (a.k.a Damien Michaels)that man was someone!He wasnt a bum just living hotel to hotel.No he acomplished great things in which many people dream of acomplishing.He starred in over 2000 adult films,he owned and ran a mansion in the hills.So, we had a string of bad luck although we were just barley comeing out of the hole we were in. Starting with the house we had finally aquired.We were going to move into our new house that morning.as well as beginning the playboy show.Micheal was just beginning the reel to the show playboy was going to buy.He was about to start shooting for the pilot playboy reality show “Mrs.California Stripper”that he created. Damien had many great ideas,hed accomplished a lot in his short life,but it was just really starting to come together he won two American Music Awards he was a beautiful musician,actor,and an all around talanted man, A genius of a man who could get anyone to do whatever he wanted all the while leaving you to think it was your idea to do it in the first place. He had a gift.It was an art As Damien was the artist. He painted his life the way he wanted it and added the people he wanted to his painting of life,His life.And thats another reason this is so hard to believe,Damien would never put himself in harms way. Why would someone do this?Sure he pissed people off but doesnt everyone??!!!For someone to murder him,to take his life is a little heavy. This person or these people,whoever it was that took his life took not only his life but mine as well.Whoever did this stole from anyone who ever loved Damien.
“You took my purpose,my happiness,my life because you see, Damien was my life Im lost without him and i owe it too “you”!!Whoever “you” are or too “them” whoever “they” are”!Damien was an art,the best thing that ever happened to me,He had a heart of gold and was to trusting and to helpful to the point of always being used or taken advantage of.I have to get these words out because if I stand for nothing I will fall for anything And I believe Damiens voice “MUST” be heard one way or another. Damien is loved and will be missed beyond belief. Damien; I love you and will always love you more then anything in this world more then life!!AlwaysNforeveryours; Courtney PLEASE LET JUSTICE BE SERVED PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING DO YOUR JOB RIGHT AND GO AND FIND HIS KILLERS!!!!!!!!!!Not for nothing this isnt some vagrant or homeless bum Damien was larger then life!

” A genius of a man who could get anyone to do whatever he wanted all the while leaving you to think it was your idea to do it in the first place.”
Except get anyone to hire him, give him a bank loan, a line of credit, etc. I don’t know. From where I sit, this guy is no Sawyer.
First, no one deserves to get stabbed to death like that. But I can understand it when an inside source comes to me and tells me that while he was living in Bob Billing’s house in Granada Hills he tried to seduce a pre-teen daughter of one of Bob’s guests on Thanksgiving back then with cocaine. Bob promptly threw him out.
when i was in the industry and was living with him for over a year….he used and abused me and got me hooked on crack at the time. Courtney all the things he told you were lies and he use to tell me all the stories of what he used to be and play and write songs for me and all the bull shit. When i was with him we were jumping from hotel to hotel 3 years ago. Im glad hes gone so he wont be abusing and exploiting women any longer.
Why not let the man be, he’s “D.E.A.D”, it is what is is. Why be judgemental, he is no longer alive! We ALL have done and gone through our good and “BAD” times. I agree, let Courtney live out their good memories and her good memories of him alive. Why try and pull a human being down like that. It is what it is, at least allow his loved ones to be at peace with this situation the best they can, just as if it were your family going through this. No one wants to hear the negative, there’s no point and it’s not beneficial to anyone who loved Damien.
HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A DEGENERATE CRACK ADDLED “CHICK” are you inhumane,subhuman heartless excuse of a human do you not realize I have suffered a major loss,Not only did i suffer my “fiances” death i was the one who found him stabbed to death. I didnt “happen”upon a “broken window and blood” like the “story” goes I was the one who broke the window. Damien and I were not some drug addled scumbags we had so much going for us Drugs had nothing to do with this so why keep throwing that in!Why take the focus off the issue at hand The issue being an innocent man was stabbed to death for reasons unknown. This is a human being who loved and was and will always be loved not a peice of garbage being thrown out on trash day Have a little compassion for mankind if you have that much hate towards Damien in you .Technicaly I should and just might notify my lawyer for false accusations Stateing im a crack addled “chick” is grounds for civel suit due to discrimination,misleading theories,quotes,defimation of character I know one thing I will not rest untill justice is served and these killers pay for there actions and then and only then may I lay on down because my purpose in this life will be served and i can go home back into Damiens arms but not untill my babes killers are brought to justice!May Damien rest untill then although I know he wont. So please we are human beings he is gone why kick a horse when its down?Your feelings are valid because you are a human being but youve crossed the line when you published your made up gibberish with out facts to back it up Please like i said im human Damiens gone let him be let it be Ive suffered a major loss that i will “NEVER”get over or recover from. Every moment of every hour of every day without him is pure torture and hell and the only strength I have to go on is knowing I will be with him SOON!cus his killers will be found SOON Always,ZCourtney
I told you I would get you for raping Kelly you white trash piece of shit!
Wow, I can see some of this guy’s past associates have found our site. Welcome. I think.
Meth and crack are what always brought Damien down. He was a hustler, a bullshit artist, a charmer, and a small-time grifter. He had a pleasant personality and was not hateful or bitter, he was just a perpetual fuck-up living in a dream world of his own making. He started out as a floor-sweeper for Rob Spallone’s Star World talent agency, then opened his own agency, which he didn’t run very well, pissing off most of his clients. He lost his headquarters when he neglected to pay the rent on the condo he was renting; he was also pocketing the rent his roommate was giving him. Brad “Brick Majors” Barnes took him in off the street and gave him a job helping build Brad’s Shopping Center of Sin over there on Canoga Ave., and then a job as shift manager at his go-go bar. Damien fucked it up, trying to to do deals and scams on the side. He was a sexual predator, not using force but drugs and bullshit. He was a fuck-up, hands down. He would constantly bite any hand that tried to feed him, and then smile and be embarassed and ask for another chance. I guess somebody decided not to. He always reminded me of Eric Roberts’ character in the POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE. Guess they took more than his thumb, though …
@G. Reeper
wow to say something that serious!!!!!!!!!!!!To call someone a rapist thats a little heavy!Everyone thought Damien was a creepy perverted guy. But actually he was the exact opposite who found some of the things in the adult enter. world to be disgusting believe it or not You better have facts to back up your accusations!!!! My man was the farthest thing from a rapis!!Your not even man enough to type your name either.!
COURT.. WHY R U EVEN FEEDING OFF OF THIS BULLSHIT?? IT’S OBVIOUS SOME OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO.. WHO THE FU*K CARES WHAT THEY SAY.. ESPECIALLY IF U KNOW THE TRUTH.. WHO GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK.. ALL THIS IS DOING IS UPSETTING U MORE.. SO JUST LET IT BE AND ENJOY THE MEMORIES YOU HAD WITH HIM AND KNOW THAT YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL IS WATCHING OVER YOU NOW
LOVE YA YOUR SIS….
You guys are sooo funny. “Courtney” (as you call yourself) are not ‘man enough’ to type your name either. You need to see the reality in this. You’re a drug addict, he was a drug addict. Move on with your life – maybe even get yourself off drugs finally. He WAS creepy not to mention toothless and a thief to boot. It’s no wonder he got himself killed. You should be glad to be rid of him. He may have resembled a human being but I doubt he acted like one. Maybe you can finally grow up and get your life together, but I highly doubt that will ever happen!
Oh, and I think he meant that you are a meth addict not a crack addict.
Alrighty. Girard, lets put an end to this thread.
NO NEED FOR ANY NEGATIVITY. I REALLY DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO DO ANYTHING BUT MAKE HER FEEL MORE DOWN THEN SHE ALREADY IS. SO I DON’T REALLY THINK RUDE COMMENTS ARE NEEDED HERE. WHO CARES WHAT HE WAS SHE “LOVED” HIM AND JUST CAUSE THIS PERSON SAYS THIS OR THAT PERSON SAYS THAT SHE’S NOT GOING TO CHANGE HER VIEWS ON HOW “SHE” KNEW HIM.. REALLY SO JUST SUPPORT HER AT THIS TIME AS SHE IS SUFFERING A LOSS IN WHICH SHE WANTS TO LOSE HER OWN LIFE .. IT’S SO SAD. THIS IS MY SISTER AND I DON’T WANT TO LOSE HER TO THIS .. SO YEAH PUTTING AN END TO THIS THREAD SOUNDS GOOD
WE ALL JUST NEED TO GET ON AND MY SIS NEEDS TO KNOW THAT DAMIEN IS NOW WATCHING OVER HER SO SHE BETTER GET HER ACT TOGETHER AND ACT RIGHT.. 
Oh man yes let’s let this thread die out and don’t post on it unless there’s any real news related to the murder. In which case, I’ll probably make a new post anyways.
I love it when we see the judgement calls. People are so quck to judge, put someone else down and “pathetic” enough to even judge a dead person. And they’re the ones that have the most extreme insecurities within themselves, which unfortunately should be refected on by taking a glance in the mirror rather then having these outbursts towards someone else. Or maybe a glimpse down memory lane…
Damien was a scumbag. He knew it, everyone knew it. He liked to think he abided by some deep intrinsic system of honor-but that was bullshit, he would sell anyone out for a buck. He had a bad temper, yelled at people, lied to everyone, used and abused anyone that he could get over on. Not many redeeming qualities. Having said that the guy is dead and every blue moon he was alive, perhaps out of guilt, he would grudgingly do something nice or say something pleasant –just like I am grudgingly admitting that there was some good in the guy after all…
Rest in Peace.

And these are the “Day of Our Lives.”
WOW….
Hey any of you guys that knew Damien Michaels know an African American girl named Tia? Send me an e-mail at contact@hillsofwoodland.com if you do.
Good or bad he’s gone now leaving behind memories of pain. Another casualty to drug addiction that ruled his life it seems for ever. It is too bad that the adult industry is in no short supply of “Damien Michael’s”:s, going back to the most famous of all John Holmes, so that the “righteous hypocrites” can have someone to denigrate. Somewhere someone can learn from his painful life and the rest of us can say ” there but for the grace…go I” .
Shame on you all haters! This poor Courtney woman is obviously sick and needs to be hospitalized or at least be given some medication. You read her posts and it’s obvious that they are clearly the rantings of a psychotic madwoman. Someone should do something!!
I find it a bit humorous that one of the few things “Courtney” can spell is Adderall…
Hey there Billy Glide first of all go take your pity and shove it somewhere up your *ss!First of all moron lets see how well youd hold up if the person you loved was murdered and not only was the person youd give your life for if you could because thats how deep your love was murdered but you were the one to find him and then just when you think life as u know its over you find out your pregnant with his child.So your fiance is murdered you find him stabbed to death and hold him in your arms then 4 mos later BAM!YOUR PREGNANT with a dead mans child So now you have to raise this child alone So not only r u pregnant with a dead mans child,but you get to figure out how your going to explain this to your child eventually and don forget on top of this you have to raise her alone and she gets to grow up Fatherless Youve obviously been so sheltered you probably would end up in a mental institution unable to talk your weakminded retarded ass probably couldnt pull through something like that so to make the ignorant statements you made makes you look well…IGNORANT.Which inturn causes embarrassment(or should) for every action theres a reaction right let me term it right DO YOU FEEL STUPIED?Because you should and just a word of advise you really shouldnt try so hard its obvious you are trying really hard to appear intelligent but it only makes you look ridiculiously foolish because your trying so hard to be something your not HINT Just be yourself.
your fiance is murdered you find him stabbed to death and hold him in your arms then 4 mos later BAM!YOUR PREGNANT
Wow – that must be some potent sperm!!!
We f*cked i mean made love every single night all night long I would think it would be some “potent sperm”dont you?
wHATEVER hAPPENED TO sWEETLEAF THE OLDER WOMAN WITH THE TATOOES THAT HE ALWAYS PERFORMED WITH>
Sweetleaf was a Milf performer circa 1999 who worked a few scenes with Rodney Moore. She was probably a dancer who Damien brought into the business.
