Dept of WEHT: Mark Jennings
December 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Do you know what became of Mark Jennings? Here’s an appreciation from a superfan, who wrote in with his thoughts and gave me permission to share with our Constant Readers. He wants to know (and so do I, we lose track of too many our boys) what happened to this guy: “Every now and then I think of that skin icon of yore, dream of him, wonder if he ever ran off to that cliffside house in

POLL! Let’s take a bite out of Jonathan
December 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Oh, help me, please, Constant Reader, to put my finger (or other body part) on just what is it about Lucas Entertainment cupcake Jonathan Vargas that makes me so . . . um, hungry. He’s one of the dreamiest dishes to cum along in eons (good eye, Mr. Lucas), and I adore everything about him, but I need your assistance to help me to prioritize his assets!

XXX in MSM: Armani by way of Bel Ami
December 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment
This past week Armani Exchange and GQ magazine announced the winner of their search for the next A/X Underwear spokesmodel, and here he is: Ryan Barry, snapped by photographer Matthew Scrivens in New York. Yeah, and tell me how this doesn’t look like the cover of your average High Octane porno? (“15 Hot European Hunks! Two full hours! UNDERWEAR STUDZ!”) Just as laddie mag covers began styling actresses to look like Vivid Girls, so, too, have photogs and companies been shooting male models to appear as if they’re posing for glamour shots for Bel Ami or Falcon Studios. The bulging crotch in this one√¢‚Ǩ‚Äùsuggesting a stiff boner√¢‚Ǩ‚Äùtakes it to another level for a MSM advert.

Talent Reps Fabscout Declare Condoms-Only Stance.
December 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Talent reps Fabscout Entertainment have declared they will no longer provide performers to companies producing bareback content. “We respect everyone’s personal decisions when it comes to their personal sexual preferences. However, as a talent management company, we feel that we have a moral responsibility when it comes to protecting the best interest of our models.” Further, they will not represent models professing a desire to appear in condomless film. As yet, there is no word as to whether a bareback title or two in their past will disqualify a performer from potential representation by Fabscout. Read on for more…

UPDATE: RIP: Haus Weston
December 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment
A quick update on the passing of performer Haus Weston (August 25, 1978 – November 5, 2007). He left us so quickly that some have doubted that he had actually died, and these stories are circulating around the internet. I recently spoke with a family friend and read an obituary, and I’m sorry to confirm it’s true. As I first reported, cause of death was cardiac arrest; he was survived by a large extended family. Per his wishes, Mr. Weston was cremated. A memorial service was held November 19, upon which his ashes were interred at the Eastern Shore Veterans Cemetery in Hurlock, Maryland with full military honors, as he was an Army vet.

[Edits 04/11/08] 
GAYVN.com is reporting Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. has threatened legal action against Geneva, Switzerland-based gay adult company Eboys Studio over their employment and promotion of a performer using the stage name “Lexus,” which is a Toyota trademark. Eboys owner and CEO Daniel Grangier told GAYVN that a letter dated November 7 from Toyota’s attorney “accused Eboys of violating American trademark law and tarnishing Toyota’s reputation by allowing one of its stars to use the name Lexus in adult-entertainment products distributed in the U.S.”

Tiger Talks to “New York Daily News”
December 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Performer Tiger has spoken to the press for the first time since being caught in the lurid aftermath of the death of hedge-fund millionaire Seth Tobias, 44, who was found floating face-down in his swimming pool September 4 at his home in Jupiter, Florida. Tiger, whose real name is Christopher Dauenhauer, spoke to the New York Daily News and says he knows nothing about Mr. Tobias’ death. “I have nothing to fear,” he said. “I looked at the time of death. I was at work in Nevada.” Click here for our previous story: “Lurid Florida Scandal Snares Tiger” and then read on for more details…

One Night with Lukas=$1,000,000?
December 6, 2007 | 5 Comments
Don’t worry, Lukas Ridgeston fans…you won’t have to sell yourself, your friends and family and your dog to spend a night with the Bel Ami legend. A story speeding around the internets yesterday said Rentboy.com was offering one night with Mr. Ridgeston for a cool one million smackers. Australia’s DNA mag picked up on the story and that appears to have fanned the flames. “It was a bad publicity stunt for his appearance in the U.S. by the club owner,” Florida’s Fabscout Entertainment tells me. “The ad is being pulled down. It was a bad joke!” (Not that he’s not worth it, but still, a rumor.) Fabscout is organizing Mr. Ridgeston’s latest trip and they were a bit woozy from multiple emails asking about the rumor. However, he will be appearing at Boardwalk Bar in Ft. Lauderdale Christmas Day through New Year’s Day (eight nights, two shows per night).

Point Break Studios: Surfers Unleashed!
December 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Gotta say, we really love that headline. Kind of sounds like a Joe Gage movie, doesn’t it? It feels like Leo Ford should be in there somewhere. Surfers Unleashed! It’s actually the title of the first flick from Point Break Studios and picked up by The French Connection for distribution. It streets November 16. (They’re currently flacking import titles THE CRAVE, VOLS. 1-2, both rather hot, from Tom Bradford Presents.) “Straight, ripped and willing to explore the limits of their heterosexuality!” reads the press blurb. Yeah, that’s just how we like our surfers. Read on for a few more details…

Bits & Bobs: Lucas Entertainment
December 5, 2007 | 9 Comments
I spoke the other day with mogul Michael Lucas about a couple of juicy bits: He’s in Florida right now filming a cameo in Another Gay Sequel, whose cast includes Brent Corrigan and RuPaul (the dragstress, you’ll recall, cast Mr. Lucas in her hi-larious Starrbooty: Reloaded, now on DVD), as well as a few scenes to be slotted into future installments of the MICHAEL LUCAS’ AUDITIONS series. I also got a sneak peek at an eight-page fashion layout Mr. Lucas shot for Genre mag that will also feature him on its cover√¢‚Ǩ‚Äùthe first time for a gay porn personality. Look for it in on newsstands in a few weeks. LucasEntertainment.com will have the details.

Brent Corrigan Zaps the Press (Gay Porn Times, Too)
December 3, 2007 | 12 Comments
Brent Corrigan has publicly responded, in a blog post, to the story we ran about him November 26. He includes Gay Porn Times in a broader complaint about gay press and gossips, and he has a few choice words for me. I wasn’t going to respond, initially; if anyone has the right to be sensitive about his press and public image these days, it’s Mr. Corrigan. Plus, if I can’t take a punch or two, I’m in the wrong line of work. Upon reflection, however, I realize I should probably clear up a couple of things he refers to in his blog posting. Read on…
