In Print: Carvalho Twins’ “DNA,” Ben Andrews & Ryan Idol in “Genre”
November 28, 2007 | 2 Comments
A quick note about the new issue of Australia’s porn-friendly DNA Magazine: Note the “Sex Twins” header with the subhead “Yes, We Do It! Brazilian Duo Confesses!” They’re Caio and Carlos Carvalho, 21-year-old identical twin surf bums signed as exclusives to the AMG Brasil label. “Dennis Bell, president and creative director of AMG, saw the boys surfing at a beach in Ipanema one day,” the article begins, “and noticed the pair were awfully intimate. After approaching them, it took the boys a moment to understand what sort of modelling Dennis was talking about, but after they caught on, they needed no convincing—Caio and Carlos are gay and have a huge thing for sex, especially tag-team three-ways.” Read on for more, including Lucas Entertainment Exclusive Ben Andrews‘ Genre mag Q&A…

2008 Transsexual “AVN” Nominees
November 27, 2007 | 13 Comments
The 25th Annual AVN Award nominees have been announced and I’ve got the nominees for Best Transsexual Performer. The award was established in 2004 to acknowledge the growing popularity of the genre—on the hetero side, I might add. Apart from a couple scenes in Titan Media’s CIRQUE NOIR, nothing high-profile in this category has been marketed to the gay crowd for awhile now. Gay-oriented transsexual flicks usually bomb, and even CIRQUE NOIR was met with a lot of upturned noses on the queer side. On the other side, gotta say, we get a ton of search engine hits from folks looking to find out more about these performers. Congrats to this year’s nominees. Read on…

Bjorn’s “El Rancho” Sweeps 2007 HeatGay Awards
November 26, 2007 | 5 Comments
Did you know the 2007 HeatGAY Awards were presented last month? They unspooled in conjunction with the 15th Annual Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival (that’s quite a mouthful, no pun intended). I get that the Euro porn awards aren’t primarily interested in reaching out to the North American porn scene, but how about a measly press release, people? Anyway, both straight and gay flicks were awarded and Kristen Bjorn’s EL RANCHO came out on top with four awards, while Bel Ami, Cazzo, Hot House and Titan Media placed one apiece. Read on for the complete (if brief) list of winners…

Brent Corrigan in “Another Gay Sequel”
November 26, 2007 | 6 Comments
[Edited 11/29/07. More on why later on.] Porn pup Brent Corrigan has been cast in the indie gay flick Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! (Constant Readers will recall Matthew Rush had a sizable cameo in the first flick, and his then-boyfriend Ethan Kage turned up briefly, too.) The production company is currently auctioning a day trip to the set with young master Corrigan and costar RuPaul. At press time bidding had reached $1045 smackeroos after just 29 bids. Read on for more…
Another Gay Movie was sort of intended as a queer American Pie. It was directed by Todd Stephens and penned by Mr. Stephens and Tim Kaltenecker. Distributed by TLA Releasing in July 2006, the film grossed a modest $654,000 in just about five months in theatres (plus another $90K overseas). Good enough for the sequel—and the cover of every single national and local gay mag next spring prior to its release.

Dept of WEHT: Cameron Fox
November 26, 2007 | 4 Comments
From the Dept. of WEHT comes an update about compact cutie Cameron Fox. Remember that lantern jaw, piercing gaze and snaking cock that dangled down to his knees? We know you do. The popular stud, now 29, has been absent from the scene for about two years and it turns out he was taking a breather from the rat race. He’d left Los Angeles for the Midwest and some downtime in suburbia. But agent Dak King of Hot Rods Casting says Mr. Fox is ready to start steaming up the screen once again. Read on for some background on his videography…

Will the Real “Gigolo” Please Stand Up?
November 23, 2007 | 6 Comments
Heh heh…PZP Productions is billing their OLIVER TWINK with ads touting adorable, tousled-haired brunet newcomer Kyros Christian (who plays the Artful Dodger) as the "original Gigolo." Wa-aa-ay down at the bottom of the ad is a line of type that reads, "This ad is obviously a parody and protected by the 1st Amendment." Just in case, y’know, Michael Lucas is reading. OLIVER TWINK was produced by the same team behind THE DA VINCI LOAD 1-2 and GAYVN Best Sex Comedy nominee BETWINKED. The flick features Dillon Samuels as Oliver alongside Riley Burke, Jarret Fox, Matt Havoc, Jayce Jones, Brad Star and Ryan Thompson (nonsex roles by "Harry Beast," "Misty Eyez," "Auntie Mame" and DA VINCI LOAD Best Nonsex Performance/GAYVN nominee Gabriel Dubois). The actual ad for MICHAEL LUCAS’ GIGOLO that the PZP advert parodies is after the jump…

EGPA Nominees, Part IV
November 20, 2007 | 5 Comments
Uncle! Uncle! I’m throwing in the towel, kids. Apart from the categories we’ve already tallied, there are dozens of nominees in another ten 2nd Annual EGPA categories: Best Hunk Film, Newcomer, Solo, Stud Film, Studio, Threesome, Top, Twink Film and Best Young Stud Film. Read on for the nominees in La Branlette D’Or, a sort of overall-excellence category. La branlette is French for “to masturbate” so the Golden Masturbator (?) nominees are…

EPGA Nominees, Part II
November 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment
There are literally dozens and dozens of nominees for the 2nd Annual European Gay Porn Awards, so we’re breaking ‘em down into separate entries to help our Constant Readers avoid eyeball strain. Some categories only have 2 or 3 nominees; others more than 20 or even 30. There are other quirks; the presence of starlet Leah Wilde in Titan Media’s CROSSING THE LINE: COP SHACK 2 was enough, apparently, to qualify it for Best Bisexual Video. Read on for the nominees in Best Bear Film and Bisexual Video, Best Bottom and Best Cum Shot…

Dark Alley, Hot House, Titan Among 2008 European Gay Porn Award Noms
November 19, 2007 | 3 Comments
The 2008 European Gay Porn Awards have been announced. Constant Readers will recall some controversy I stepped into last year following the announcement of the inaugural slate of EGPA nominees; many bareback studios and films were cited, and there was some fighting in this space about who, exactly, sponsored and financed the show, which bills itself as a kind of European “People’s Choice” of porn awards. If it sounds like I’m talking about the David Awards, I’m not; this is the other European gay porn show that launched last year. Like the Davids, they aren’t working very hard to promote (or include, for that matter) U.S. companies. Only two Stateside films won any 2007 EGPA trophies: U.S. Male’s DADS ‘N LADS 2 for Best Bear Film, and DADS ‘N LADS 3 for Best Non-European Film. This year, a whopping 27 (!) guys are up for Best Actor and 31 (!!) movies are up for Best Film. Some U.S. studios and performers—Bel Ami, Dark Alley Media, Jet Set, Hot House, Lucas Entertainment, Titan Media—are in the mix. Stay tuned for more nominees. In the meantime, read on…

“Gay Porn Times” in Print
November 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment
We’ve been quoted in two recent articles; one story I knew was upcoming, the other doesn’t quote me directly and instead pulled information from stories we’ve run on the recent David Awards controversy. (I wondered why so many “JC Adams-porn-writer” search-term hits had been landing folks here this week.)
The Southern Voice is running a series of articles by Ryan Lee about condom use and safer sex among gay men. They spoke to me about bareback-vs.-condoms in gay porn. SoVo.com: “Death of the Condom.” Read on for info about the second story…
