It’s been four months since Jean-Daniel Cadinot left this wretched plane for the Grey Havens (CLICK HERE). The reality of that is still sinking in. His team in France updated the late maestro’s blog earlier this month. The complete text follows if you haven’t seen it yet. One bit of great news: We have two new Cadinot films on the way. “Dear friends: Before anything, thank you. A heartfelt thank you for all the messages of condolence sent from all around the world, and sorry to those who wrote in a language less widespread but who should be thanked too. The words used with regard to Jean Daniel must have touched him deeply wherever he is now. I am sure that he is honoured, satisfied and extremely grateful to you. We, his friends and collaborators, thank you particularly for having eased our pain with words of comfort, simple and encouraging, and their sincerity. A huge thank you to everyone from all the team and the Cadinot Boys.CLICK HERE for the rest of the message…

Sneak Peek: Here’s an advance peek at THE DRIFTER from Raging Stallion Studios. Logan “Tattooed Man” McRee toplines with sexy French-Canadian newcomer Manuel DeBoxer (CLICK HERE), plus Vinnie D’Angelo, RJ Danvers, Luke Hass, Bo Matthews, lusciously bubble-butted Damian Rios, newcomer Alexander Scott and Scott Tanner. Tony DeMarco and Ben Leon co-direct. It streets in late September. Yep, I definitely prefer Logan McRee’s scruffier new look. Although I can’t help but think that such intricate body ink requires a lifelong commitment to stay ultra-fit, right? Remember TitanMan Dred Scott’s elaborate torso art that curved up and around his rack? If his pecs aren’t pumped that design is going to look a little odd.

Pro/am VOD site ClubHancock.com has officially announced heretofore heteroseuxal porn performer Kurt Lockwood’s bisex debut. “Kurt, India and Evan” (rolls off the the tongue, doesn’t it?) was perhaps the worst-kept secret in all of porndom. Mr. Lockwood appears alongside Evan Gray and India Summer. Director and Hancock Studios CEO Mike Hancock said it was the first time both men “received anal from another male on film,” as well as the first bisex shoot for Ms. Summer. Their threeway was shot at the end of 2007, and Mr. Lockwood has received some flak for it. (Mostly from the straight side; the gays are usually more accommodating about this sort of thing.) At the time he did it for monetary reasons — a $5000 scene rate ain’t too shabby — and because “he wanted to push the envelope despite any public criticism or potentially negative affect on his career.” Mr. Lockwood told XBIZ (CLICK HERE) he is still working regularly. “The proof is in the pudding… Hence, these porn bloggers have no power at all. Period. And hopefully this makes them and their would-be morals Gestapo see that. Here’s the truth — every sex worker does nearly everything or has experimented at some point.” ClubHancock is the straight/bi/fetish arm of Hancock Studios, which also includes the gay-targeted MikeHancock.com. This and other bisex footage featuring Mr. Lockwood will be released on DVD later this year.

[Editor's note: Gay Porn Times has recently signed a deal to provide LGBT content to industry publication XBIZ.] Athletic Model Guild has announced the forthcoming release of RIO on the AMG Brasil label. Currently in post production, RIO is centered on documentary-style interviews with performers whose actual erotic encounters and memories are then enacted. AMG Brasil CEO Dennis Bell directed and conducts the interviews. Ricardo Onça — newcomer award nominee and breakout star of last year’s AMAZONIA two-parter — headlines alongside fan-favorite AMG exclusive Marcelo MastroCLICK HERE for the full story at XBIZ!

[Editor's note: Gay Porn Times has recently signed a deal to provide LGBT content to industry publication XBIZ.] BANG MY GUTS is the latest release from Ty Lattimore Entertainment and PornTeam.com. Ty Lattimore also directs. The film was crafted as a showcase for rising newcomer Shawn Legend. The performer is one of a small handful of actors, in his experience, who “hit the ground running,” Lattimore said. “He is a natural. He did not require much directing or coaching.” The director also appreciates Legend’s innate ease in front of the camera and sense of humor. “He has this little dance he does before every shoot to the Kanye West song ‘Gold Digger’ that is so stupid…” CLICK HERE for the full story at XBIZ!

Press Release Roundup: Channel 1 Releasing has announced that Benjamin Bradley will return to XXX and the Rascal Video roster. In 2006, he was released from his previous contract, by his request, to pursue modeling opportunities that included a high-profile contract representing Ginch Gonch underwear. Channel 1’s Doug Jeffries said Mr. Bradley would be back in front of the cameras at the end of September. He joins a roster of Rascal exclusives that includes Johnny Hazzard, Cameron Marshall, Blake Riley, Josh Vaughn and Vance Winter. Concurrent to this announcement, Bradley will no longer be repped by Tango Blues Entertainment for touring and other personal appearances. Bradley is the second gay adult performer this summer to return to erotica after leaving the skin trade to pursue a modeling career; Claudio Martin (né Rodrigo de Carli) also recently returned to XXX as a Lucas Entertainment exclusive after a stint on the catwalk.

[Editor's note: Gay Porn Times has recently signed a deal to provide LGBT content to industry publication XBIZ.] Bijou Video has re-released onto DVD a trio of classic spanking titles produced by Man’s Hand Films: DISCIPLINING THE UNDISCIPLINED ATHLETE (1989), LESSON WELL LEARNED (1988) and SPANKING LITTLE BROTHER (1994). Producer-director John Stewart founded boutique studio Man’s Hand Films in the late 1970s. It was the first company to produce gay spanking videos… CLICK HERE for the full story at XBIZ!

A U.S. District Court judge has ruled that video-sharing site Veoh.com is not liable in a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by IO Group, parent company of Titan Media. The gay adult studio sued Veoh in 2006 after learning their copyrighted product had been uploaded to the site. Per AVN, “Veoh claimed it was unaware of the infringement and that it took steps to remove the material, pleading its defense under the ‘Safe Harbor provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).” CLICK HERE for more details…

Remember Sam Tyson? The blond, wholesome, matinee-idol-handsome stud made only about seven or eight films in 2002 and 2003, notably Jet Set’s GAYVN-winning THE HOLE, and then retired. He now works as a personal trainer in Los Angeles—I know, I know, but he’s actually serious about it and today owns three gyms (CLICK HERE). He’s a franchise! (Pardon the Steel Magnolias moment.) He’s gay-married, too; Chi Chi LaRue even DJ’ed his wedding (CLICK HERE and scroll down a tad). Anyway, did you watch this season of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List? Remember the episode where she went to Bora Bora? Remember the interview she gave to a hunky blond guy from Passport magazine? Yep, that was our Sam. Yeah, I didn’t make the connection, either. If you’re curious, CLICK HERE for the unedited interview, which runs about 20 minutes (they used roughly 45 seconds in the episode). He tells her right off the bat that he is an ex-porn star. Ms. Griffin is delighted, of course, and referenced her gig hosting the GAYVN Awards last year.

On Monday the World of Wonder blog posted a short, fascinating interview with burly muscleman Trojan Rock. He is currently running boutique adult studio Alphamale Media, but you’ve seen him rampaging through such recent titles as BUNKER (Mustang Studios), ROID RAGE (Centurion Pictures/Raging Stallion) and ROAD TO REDNECK HOLLOW (Titan Media). Mr. Rock’s civilian identity is Gavin Hay. Together with partner Remy Blumenfeld, he ran an independent production company called Brighter Pictures that produced reality television programs in the U.K. Then, a few years ago, the company “was bought for jillions” by mega-producers Endemol (CLICK HERE). Mr. Hay promptly retired to a tropical beach, until the siren call of porn beckoned. “What’s better—boardroom politics or sucking cock? Having sold the company and decided to take a break from TV, I wanted to have a bit of fun,” he says. “Life is sort of quite short really. I was living in Rio, very relaxed and happy being nothing ‘hotshot,” just being me for the first time in years, when my [boyfriend] asked if I would like to join him in a porn movie being made of real-life couples. I thought, Why not?, then woke up, realized there was no going back…” CLICK HERE for the full interview. [H/T Fleshbot.]

Dept of WEHT: During a recent sojourn to the outer reaches of the interwebs, I stumbled across another one of our boys: Cameron Sage. The blond, blue-eyed, hunka-hunka churned out roughly 45 films between 2000 and 2005 and then just sort of faded away from the gay scene. I always kind of liked the big lug. I found him banging chicks as “Seth Dickens” for ClubHancock.com. You’ll find Tony Capucci featured at ClubHancock, too, as well as straight stars Kurt Lockwood (whose sexuality is so much more fluid these days now that he’s “retired” from hetero porn) and the crazy-hot Charles Dera (CLICK HERE for my Beauty Shot on that stud last summer). I clearly need to pay closer attention to straight porn; IMDb (CLICK HERE) credits some 200 straight fuck flicks to Seth Dickens. Yeesh! Totally missed that one. [H/T JABB.]

[Editor's note: Gay Porn Times has recently signed a deal to provide LGBT content to industry publication XBIZ.] Dexter Palmer Productions has announced the release of SLIDE RIGHT ON! featuring Antonio Milan, with Palmer costarring and directing. He adheres to an all-sex philosophy. “I used to rent VHS porn, tape them onto blank cassettes and would cut out all the walking and talking, and go straight to the sex,” Palmer said… CLICK HERE for the full story at XBIZ!

[Editor's note: Gay Porn Times has recently signed a deal to provide LGBT content to industry publication XBIZ.] Lucas Entertainment has announced plans to revive its popular FIRE ISLAND CRUISING series. Two installments will be filmed next month on location on the iconic island. Previously, eight installments had been produced, and FIRE ISLAND CRUISING 1 was notable for its debut of popular performer Chad Hunt. It also earned director-costar Michael Lucas a GAYVN Award for Best Solo Performance. It was the first award Lucas received after establishing Lucas Entertainment in 1998… CLICK HERE for the full story at XBIZ!
