INDUSTRY UPDATE: Tommy Saxx Arrested
It’s Wednesday, so it must be time for another gay porn mug shot. Performer Tommy Saxx, who worked as a hospital technician in Grapevine, Texas, was arrested for going on a shopping spree with the stolen credit cards of a patient, a police officer, who died in the emergency room of Baylor Medical Center.
I’m a bit behind the curve on reporting this story because, well, Christ, this crime spree among our guys is just exhausting. Enough, already.

Just Fine, Thanks: Gus Mattox, Adam Killian
June 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment
The gay porn grapevine went a little nutso over the past 24 hours. Hits to our sites were ablaze with the search terms "Gus Mattox death" and "Gus Mattox died." Further, the GAYVN-winning Performer of the Year wasn’t the only one for whom reports of his death have been, as they say, greatly exaggerated. Dancer, nonsex performer and jack-of-all-trades Adam Killian (perhaps best known for Jet Set‘s THE HOLE) has also been the subject of premature-death rumors lately. I tracked ‘em both down today. And they’re fine. "Me and Mark Twain, huh?" said Mr. Mattox. "Maybe I should post a photo of me with today’s newspaper as ‘proof of life.’ I will admit that I feel almost dead after the major construction I did on my house. But, dead or alive, it’s when they stop talking about you you have to worry." He asked me to post a clarification, a request that I am only too happy to fulfill. "I’d hate to think my Mom was catching up on her gay porn news and read her baby boy Gus had bitten the dust," Mr. Mattox quipped. "Especially as I have that Tupperware to return."

PR Roundup: RSS Signs Brodie Sinclair
June 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Raging Stallion Studios announced today the signing of Brodie Sinclair to an exclusive contract. One of GayPornLand’s "It" studs of the moment, Mr. Sinclair is also known as "Derek Brodie," the name he was given in LONGBOARD (although a topman, check out that world class ass on the DVD cover!) and BASIC PLUMBING 3 for Falcon Studios.
He is also gay-for-pay, and although in the past Raging Stallion has pledged to hire only gay performers, in this particular case, they’ve changed their minds.

Dark Alley: You Naughty Scamps!
June 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Upstart studio Dark Alley Media got tongues wagging with the announcement a few weeks ago of GAY BOMB, a sex-satire in the vein of their recent GAYTANAMO, which ruffled a few feathers. Mainstream-ish bloggers also took note. The Wired.com blog, "Danger Room" recently linked to Dark Alley’s press release announcing the film and snarked, "Military technology has inspired some of history’s greatest films: Firefox, Stealth, Crimson Tide…the list is practically endless. But never, to the best of my knowledge, has a gay porn house dared to [plant] in this arena, strived to go head to head with these timeless classics. Friends, I can now report that this imbalance has been rectified."

BEAUTY SHOT: Charles Dera
June 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment
We’ve been getting reader mail about gorgeous stud Charles Dera. If he’s new to you, Constant Reader, I hate to be the bearer of bad news: He works in straight porn, not gay. Quick! Someone write this stunning young hunk a big check and get him into a gay-XXX feature! He’s all over the damn web, so there’s no shortage of pics. Mr. Dera (pronounced "DARE-ah") is 28 years old, six feet tall, a former Marine and an ex-Chippendale’s dancer. I’ve watched a filmed interview with him and he’s kind of a cocky bastard, which makes him even hotter. He’s only just began shooting hetero scenes. Check him out in BARELY LEGAL 71 (Hustler Video), DEMONS WITHIN (Gina Lynn Productions) and PROS VS. HOS (Cherry Boxxx) for starters. He was also on the cover of Playgirl twice and was named their Man of the Year in 2005. Is it any fucking wonder? His official site, CharlesDera.com, appears to be a portal at the moment. But hit Google Images and feast away.

BEAUTY SHOT: Max Schutler
June 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment
One of the most exciting discoveries of recent vintage is the lovely, buffed out Max Schutler, a 25-year-old pup from Argentina. He’s so strikingly sexy that Mr. Schutler was given the cover of the Monster Bang Video/Raging Stallion flick BANG THAT ASS and was subsequently featured in MIRAGE where the versatile stud hungrily stuffs every inch of Justin Christopher‘s thick python into his plush muscle-butt. He seemed to be a RSS discovery.

BITS & BOBS: Marcus Allen, Trevor Knight, Buck Angel
June 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment
* Keep an eye on The Advocate in the next week or so (sources tell me) for their big expose on the Timothy Boham (a.k.a. Marcus Allen) murder case. (Mr. Boham’s next hearing is July 12th.)
* Yep, it’s true: Trevor Knight has decided to hang it up. In a blog entry titled "It’s Been Long Enough" at MySpace.com/TrevKnightXXX he notes that after winning his three trophies at the recent Grabby Awards "it’s time for me to stop. I’ve been fighting with the idea of stopping for awhile now. Now I think it’s time to go. I’ve done it the best I could and now it’s just time for me to move on. I’m going to school and I want something new. Thank you all for such a great time. I did it all for you!" (As a cherry on top, Mr. Knight is the June 25th "Hot Guy of the Day" at Out.com.)

NEW RELEASE DESK: Titan Media
Twelve months ago Titan Media had the spectacularly raunchy FOLSOM FILTH out in time for the Folsom Street Festival. Now it’s FOLSOM LEATHER from director Brian Mills and toplining one of my crushes, the furry cuddlebear Alex Baresi. As we revealed last week, it is the "Exclusive Leather/Fetish Film" of this year’s Folsom Street fest, and a portion of the proceeds from sales of the movie will be donated to a special fund that supports nonprofits dedicated to gay men’s health.

NEW RELEASE DESK: Helix Studios
Helix Studios has a new hotboi movie on tap, FUCKIN’ FRATBOYS, via PornTeam.com distribution. Helmer Keith Miller corralled lovelies Dakota Brittain, Beau Bucanon, Nathan Cannin, Damien Knight, Jordan Michaels, Rick Parker, Kevin Penn and Josh Powell to do the suck-and-fuck.
Theme is horny, well, fraternity "brothers" and who doesn’t have a sweet tooth for that? Dakota Brittan rides Damien Knight’s imposingly thick rocket for one particularly scorching scene, and the hella-cute Jordan Michaels and Kevin Penn share palpable chemistry in another. Many of these guys are Helix (or studpup-studio) regulars, but they’re still fresh-faced enough to feel like discoveries.

NEW RELEASE DESK: Raging Stallion Studios
The latest in Raging Stallion’s import-gonzo line is the charmingly titled FASTER! FASTER! FUCK ME HARDER! from helmer Alberto Rey. Eurostud Julian Vincenzo toplines and, frankly, that’s enough for me, ace. I’d watch megastudly Mr. Vincenzo eating oatmeal. Yowza. Costars include mononamed Gregory, James Jordan, Jose Ganatti, Peter Stream and Leo Strong.
Until it hits the shelves (any day now), feel free to check out the descriptively titled previous entries in the new RSS line: FUCK MY ASS, I’ll SUCK YOUR COCK! and FUCK MY EAGER HUNGRY HOLE. Cocktail party chatter: Director Alberto Rey is a famous straight porn performer whose hundreds of titles stretch back nearly 15 years.

Adonis Pictures is back on the boards with their first new picture in about a year. BED HEADS 2: BUTT HEADS is a sequel to one of the young studio’s first hits and reunites writer/director/videographer Ross Cannon with leading men Trevor Knight and Bobby Williams. Aren’t they sweet together on that DVD cover? As for that, ahem, unusual title: "Trevor’s a chain-smoker and boyfriend Bobby wants him to stop," reads the publicity squib. "SO they do everything in their power to take their oral fixations to the next level! BUTT HEADS won’t let up until every pole is smoked!"

This is the third 2257 paperwork investigation in recent weeks, including a June 1 inspection at gay amateur studio JT Video. There are no details as to which Bacchus titles the agents asked after. "They were very polite and professional," FilmCo’s general manager told AVN.com. "All went well. They asked for directions to a restaurant, packed up and left."

Mark Dalton Jailed
June 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Never mind about catching musclebod Mark Dalton together with Zeb Atlas this coming weekend for Houston Gay Pride, where they were scheduled to appear in the Pride Parade among other personal appearances. He is currently a guest of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Mr. Dalton’s agent, David Forest, spelled out some details in an email this afternoon. "Mark is being held in custody by the TDCJ due to [an] ‘altercation’ he had on May 31. They haven’t made any decision, yet, on his future parole status. They basically stopped his parole, temporarily, because he had a run-in with the police. That run-in involved two misdemeanors that, as of today, he has not been charged with."

Bravo & Gage Weston…Part Deux
June 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment
COLT Man Gage Weston is still getting recognized on the street for his lengthy cameo on the Bravo reality series Work Out a couple months back. Oh, but Bravo wasn’t done with him yet: On the June 19th episode of Bravo’s reality show Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, Ms. Griffin was hanging out with Work Out star Jackie Warner when she ran into…Gage Weston, looking cute as ever and sporting his skintight COLT-brand muscle-tee like a good company man. She caressed his pecs and biceps and referred to him as "insanely hot." Hmmm, is the Gage Weston reality show too far behind?
