“Gay Porn Twins” Arrest Story Goes Viral

February 29, 2008 | 3 Comments

The arrest of “gay porn twins” Keyon and Teyon has gone viral (click here for our original story). Identical African-American twins making gay porn flicks together, who then get nabbed for committing some 40 burglaries, has just too many too-good-to-be-true elements for the mainstream press to ignore. Check out this screen capture of AOL.com’s news browser tonight. The AOL.com story is a reprint of an Associated Press newswire article that quotes TLA Video’s Erik Schute. How ’bout this colorful bit of background: “[Teyon], who police believe is a trained gymnast and karate expert, has used his athleticism to make several daring escapes from police. He was handcuffed in the back of a moving police cruiser after a 2006 drug arrest in Clementon, N.J., when he broke out the glass with his head and jumped into a lake while still handcuffed, police Chief Dave Kunkel said. ‘He swam across like Flipper, taunting the officers, saying, ‘You’ll never catch me,’ Kunkel told the Daily News… In January 2007, [he] jumped 30 feet from the roof of a Camden, N.J., liquor store and swam across the frigid Cooper River before he was caught, police said. ‘I told him he should have signed up for the Olympics,’ [Teyon’s lawyer] said. ‘The prosecutor and I even referred to him as Spider-Man.’ “

Industry Alert: Potential Underage Performer in U.K.

February 29, 2008 | 14 Comments

[Updated 1:35pm, 2:30pm.] We have breaking news out of the U.K. today. A man identified as Rufus Ffoulkes, 48, of Lowestoft, Suffolk [pictured], has been sentenced to nearly three years in prison for conducting a photo shoot and then filming a bareback porn movie with a 16-year-old boy (”Man jailed for making porn film with 16-year-old“). The teen was cast via Gaydar. There is a director of gay adult films, primarily condomless, with the same name. We have not, as yet, confirmed whether he was the man arrested and until we confirm or disprove, no assumption should be drawn that they are one and the same. The article also does not identify the film, nor indicate if it was produced for private use or released for mass consumption. We are working our contacts in the U.K. at the moment, but it may be too late in the day there to reach anyone in their offices. We’re publishing this story in the hopes that our far-flung readers, particularly those in England, can ferret out whether the film with this underaged performer was released to the public; the potential implications are too important to wait until Monday for offices in the U.K. to reopen. UPDATE: One of our German readers sent along the links to the above photo (source), as well as to an installment of a new S/M series from Load XXX titled DADDY DARBY’S SLAVE BOY INITIATIONS, directed by a Rufus Ffoulkes, in which the helmer costars as “Daddy Darby.” He greatly resembles the Rufus Ffoulkes who was arrested.

Porn’s Leap Day Birthday Studs

February 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Today is Leap Day and as it comes around only every four years, we thought we’d give a special birthday welcome to a pair of porn studs (that we know about) who were born today: Chris Cox and euro-stud Remus Orza (that’s him at left). Mr. Orza was born in 1980, so technically he’s only seven years old. But, eh, let’s not go there. Catch him in Falcon International’s WINNING STREAK (2000) and RED HOT (2001), as well as Pacific Sun’s WATER JOCKS, PART 1 (2001). Unless he’s working under another name, he hasn’t been onscreen in about seven years. As for Mr. Cox, well, in porn there’s a Christian Cox (at least four movies in 2003) and a Christopher Cox (three movies in 1994 and ‘96), and I’m not sure which is which. So happy natal day to both of ya! [Image © Falcon Studios.]

Crime Blotter: Kocis Murder Trial Update

February 28, 2008 | 4 Comments

As our Gay Porn Crime Week comes to a close, here’s an update on the Bryan Kocis murder trial, as prosecutors and lawyers for accused co-defendants Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes exchange motions. The latest twist is “new evidence” that prosecutors received earlier this month from the FBI, said to be handwritten letters penned by Mr. Cuadra and Mr. Kerekes (”New Evidence Emerges In Gay Porn Producer Murder“). There is no indication as yet about the contents of the letters. A motion before Luzerne County (Pennsylvania) judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. asked for the court to compel the defendants to provide handwriting samples for analysis. Judge Olszewski has not indicated when he would rule on the request, but another pre-trial hearing is scheduled for March 5. He has, however, “denied a defense motion that would require the prosecution to say which of the two accused the prosecution believes was the principle killer.” District attorneys are seeking the death penalty, and defense lawyers claim it would apply only to the principle killer, not an accomplice.

Ryan Idol Charity Scandal Update

February 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment

We wrote last week about Ryan Idol’s ties to an enveloping charity scandal involving Birmingham, Alabama mayor Larry Langford and his aide John Katopodis (click here and here for our previous stories). Agent David Forest, Mr. Idol’s former manager, gave an interview last week during which he spilled his long, tumultuous history with Mr. Katopodis. I was present for that interview and so was a writer for The Birmingham News. They’re getting a lot of mileage out of the gay porn connection, however tenuous (”Bizarre history of John Katopodis, gay porn star Ryan Idol goes way back“). Click here for the details…

Aaron James Debuts on MTV Doc Series

February 28, 2008 | 10 Comments

Jet Set exclusive Aaron James‘ episode of the MTV documentary series True Life debuted Wednesday. Titled “I Work in the Sex Industry,” Mr. James was profiled alongside two young women who work other aspects of the skin trade (production manager and host of a sex radio show). A rerun is set for March 1 and check MTV’s schedule for additional repeats. (Click here for their production blog.) The MTV crew followed Mr. James to the AVN Erotic Expo in Las Vegas and to the set of Jet Set’s HOLLYWOOD SEX CLUB. We also followed him back home to rural Pennsylvania where he spilled the beans to various family members (watch the show for their reactions). Mr. James is gay-for-pay and his profile ought to further stoke the debate over whether straight guys who work in gay porn aren’t just fooling themselves. Mr. James’ ON FIRE! costars Guy Parker, Dean Phoenix and Jesse Santana make cameos; turns out Mr. Parker and Mr. Phoenix haven’t yet told their families they’re porn stars. Mr. James also referenced making “an average” of $5000-$10,000 per scene. Yikes! Kudos if that’s what he’s banking right now, but that figure is definitely not the industry average anymore. MTV certainly did not shy away from passionate same-sex smooching and overall it was a sympathetic, positive portrait. What do you think? [Image © Jet Set Productions.]

Beauty Shot: Bootylicious Dillon Crow

February 27, 2008 | 5 Comments

I was cruising around the revamped Hot House Video website this evening and over on their new model blog I came across exclusive Dillon Crow and his awe-inspiring ass. Damn! Check out the backyard on that fella. Most fans are familiar with the story of how this 23-year-old stunner was discovered in a local Gold’s Gym, his luscious globes having captivated the entire room. Apart from VERBOTEN 1 (he shares the cover with Dak Ramsey), you can also find him in VERBOTEN 2 and HEAD HUNTERS, INC. The first VERBOTEN features Messrs. Crow and Ramsey with Hot House exclusives Alex Collack and CJ Knight as well as Rafael Alencar, Kristian Alvarez, Rodrigo De Leon, Tyler Saint, Alexy Tyler and Josh West, plus it was also the debut of the wondrous Dominic Sol, whose sensual curves and erotic heat are turning a lot of heads these days.

Lawrence-vs-Texas DA Resigns Amid Scandal

February 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Houston District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal has resigned from his position in the wake of two federal lawsuits, reports AVN (”‘Lawrence v. Texas’ D.A. Resigns During Scandal Probe“). “Rosenthal’s attempt to purge emails that may have been related to the suits from his government email account before turning his hard drive over to federal investigators.” That name doesn’t ring a bell? It should, especially if you’re gay: Mr. Rosenthal represented Texas before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2002 when the state was considering whether it was legal to prevent gays from engaging in private sexual intercourse. The 6-3 Lawrence-v.-Texas decision struck down sodomy laws around the country, a decision that continues to reverberate and absolutely had implications for the gay porn biz. As AVN notes, although Mr. Rosenthal attempted to erase emails related to the lawsuits, he failed to destroy a racist cartoon as well as “sexually-explicit video clips and love notes” to his mistress. Go ahead, bathe in the schadenfreude. We won’t hold it against ya.

Crime Blotter: “Gay Porn Twins” Keyon and Teyon Arrested in Philly

February 26, 2008 | 11 Comments

[Updates 4:30pm, 9:51pm] The gay blogosphere is atwitter today (thanks to Towleroad and Perez) about the arrest in Philadelphia of Keyontyli Goffney and Taleon Goffney, whose mugshots were broadcast on television, leading eagle-eyed porn fans (and ATKOL.com habitués) to identify them as “gay porn twins” Keyon and Teyon, known primarily for their work with FlavaWorks and BlackMen.net. According to NBC 10 in Philadelphia (”Twins Arrested In Connection With Dozens Of Rooftop Robberies“), the Goffney siblings were arrested Wednesday, February 20 and charged in connection with “robbing dozens of stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.” The robberies number at least 35. Here are their mugshots, and a 2006 BlackMen.net promotional snap. Update: I spoke with a FlavaWorks rep, who confirms the Goffney siblings are indeed Keyon and Teyon. By the way, Teyon never actually worked for FlavaWorks directly, but Keyon (also known as “Chique“) was a CocoDorm regular from 2002-2005. I’ve also heard from BlackMen.net webmaster Xavier tonight. Here is his statement: “We have not had contact with [Keyon and Teyon] in a couple of years, but they were always some of the nicest guys on the planet to work with. Why in the world they got involved in this sort of activity escapes me—as well as saddens me deeply. I hope they are able to work out some sort of solution to their predicament.”

Which Gay Porn Studs Could Go Mainstream?

February 26, 2008 | 12 Comments

Scroll down a couple stories for a bit about Rascal Video exclusive Johnny Hazzard’s new recurring role on the Here TV series The Lair. One of our regular comments observed that while he thinks Mr. Hazzard has the chops for mainstream success, he’s waiting to watch this new, non-porn project for a clue as to whether he can follow through. He also thinks Brad “Dylan Vox” Benton definitely has “It” star power. That got me thinking about which of our currently working boys (Colton Ford doesn’t count) has the chops to cut it as a mainstream actor. Do you think Johnny Hazzard is good enough to go mainstream? (And I do realize that porn is about as mainstream as it gets these days.) I’m going to take the wait-and-see approach with him. I’d definitely put Mr. Benton at the top of the list. I think Rod Barry has the physical ease and natural performance abilities to go mainstream; do does Spencer Quest. Who else? Chime in with your thoughts? [Benton/Vox in The Lair © HereTV.com.]

GAYVN Awards: Post-Mortem

February 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment

It’s been a week and change since the 10th Annual GAYVN Awards unspooled, and as we close the books on another year, here are a few random thoughts and observations from my reporter’s notebook, starting with the night’s oddest and most unexpected celebrity pairing: San Francisco legend and Tales of the City author Armistead Maupin trading bon mots with dragstress Lady Bunny for the Tim & Roma Show cameras.

* Michael Lucas, Erik Rhodes and Matthew Rush couldn’t stand still for more than a minute without someone wanting to take their photo. “Ohmygod, I touched him!” squealed one gayboi after snapping Mr. Rhodes.

Casting about on the gay porn blog circuit: * Johnny Hazzard blogs about landing a recurring role on The Lair on Here TV (”It Feels Like the First Time“), reveals, “…I was a little over confident on my first day. It wasn’t the first time. Just because I have sex with strangers in front of even more strangers, contorting myself into Twister like positions all the while sharing a recipe with the make-up guy, I sometimes feel like I can handle anything. I was quickly humbled to say the least…” Click here for bits from Brent Corrigan, Steve Cruz, Michael Lucas and Erik Rhodes…
