I had lunch recently at the Silver Spoon restaurant in West Hollywood with performer Ashton Ryan. After seven years in the biz he’s still damned cute. We’ve been friendly ever since I gave Mr. Ryan his first…interview. That was way back in 1998 when he was promoting THE AMERICAN WAY (RAD Video; d. Kevin Clarke). "The Adams Report" was brand-new and he was fresh from the Midwest; this column soon took off, young Mr. Ryan exploded into twink stardom and life hasn’t been the same for either of us. I am featuring a new film of Mr. Ryan’s in an upcoming issue of "XXX Showcase" magazine. It’s his first hardcore performance in several years.

There’s a lot to talk about this week, kids. So let’s dive right into the deep end. First up, the industry was shocked when it was revealed that an underage performer had filmed at least four movies for twink/bareback studio Cobra Video. As originally reported by Doug Lawrence at GayVN.com, “Brent Corrigan” (whose real name has not been revealed) appeared in the following titles before he had reached the legal-adult status of eighteen: BAREBONED TWINKS (2004), CASTING COUCH 4 (2003), EVERY POOLBOY’S DREAM (2003) and SCHOOLBOY CRUSH (2004). Pacific Sun Entertainment, Cobra Video’s distributor, immediately advised retailers to pull these titles from circulation.

INDUSTRY ALERT

Gay adult video performer “Brent Corrigan” was possibly under 18 years of age when he performed in four films for Cobra Video, according to the performer’s attorney, Chad Belville of Tempe, Arizona.

The four titles are: Bareboned Twinks (2004), Casting Couch 4 (2004), Every Poolboy’s Dream (2003) and Schoolboy Crush (2004). Cobra’s distributor, Pacific Sun Entertainment, has advised all retailers to immediately pull the titles from circulation, a Pacific Sun spokesman told GAYVN.com.

More information is forthcoming.

We cover a lot of ground this week in the “Adams Report,” from podcasting to gay news anchors, from Jenna Jameson going gay (sorta) to porn stars getting tossed out of East Hamptons mansions wearing only their jeans. And did I mention that box of peanuts that arrived in the mail? It’s been one of those weeks, kids.

SWAG ME, BABY
Some pretty cool promotional packages have crossed the “Adams Report” transom. It’s a well-documented fact that we love free swag around here. Adonis Pictures sent along a shoulder bag imprinted with their logo and carrying a bunch of posters as well as review copies of their first few titles, along with a couple tubes of WET Lube (Platinum and Warming Gel, thankyouverymuch) and some Adonis refrigerator magnets. Adonispictures.com is the website.

GayPornLand shut down in advance of the holiday weekend so there ain’t much to report this week, kids. We’ll spent this column getting caught up on the various bits of flotsam and jetsam cluttering the desk of this itinerant porn reporter. There is actually a lot of ground to cover, from Tom of Finland in MOMA to the restoration of “Deep Throat” and gay porn denizens doing their part to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
