NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. hard-core porn pioneer Al
Goldstein, who went from multimillionaire owner of
Screw magazine to being homeless on the streets of
Manhattan after his sleaze empire collapsed, is making
a comeback.

Goldstein, 69, last employed as a greeter at a Kosher
deli and as a wholesale bagel salesman working on
commission, is back promoting smut, this time over the
medium that helped push him from his porn pedestal --
the Internet.

Goldstein was named on Monday as national marketing
director for XonDemand, an Internet video-on-demand
porn Web site. The site is an Internet version of the
old-fashioned peep shows that populated the once-seedy
stretch of 42nd Street west of Times Square. Customers
can pay a per-minute charge for viewing a pornographic
firm or order the whole movie.

Goldstein built an $11 million fortune off the
now-defunct Screw, which he founded in 1968, and New
York cable TV show "Midnight Blue." He went bankrupt
more than a year ago, blaming his fall on the
proliferation of porn on the Internet.

Legal problems have also plagued the former porn king,
who was forced to sell his $2.5 million Florida
mansion and New York townhouse to pay off debts.

Goldstein, who had taken to sleeping in Central Park
and at homeless shelters, was charged with shoplifting
from a Manhattan bookstore last year.

He was convicted in 2002 of harassing a former
secretary, whom he accused of stealing, by disparaging
her on his cable TV show, printing her home address in
his magazine and threatening her over the telephone.
