Reality-TV Series Beckons Pierre Fitch
September 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Pornster-turned-DJ Pierre Fitch blogged this week that he could soon be the subject of a reality-TV series. He says the focus would be on “the daily life of me touring around as a DJ and also doing normal life things.” I’m sure his porn-biz work will factor in there somewhere; the gorgeous, tattooed pup recently earned a GayVN nod for overall fan-favorite. He is set to embark on a series of DJ gigs in Australia and cameras will follow him every step of the way. “I can’t say too much about it yet because we don’t have all the details worked out,” he writes, “but I know this is going to be the opportunity of a lifetime.” About his new gig, “I’ve been working so hard at building my DJ career, but I never thought it would take off this fast. Holy shit, I’m so excited.” He’ll join DJ Chi Chi LaRue for Hustlaball on Sunday, October 10 in New York. CLICK HERE for his DJ website.

Cute Boys Kissing: Dallas Evans, Nicco Sky
September 30, 2010 | 2 Comments
Planet Porn: It’s quiet in GayPornLand this week —although that could change at any moment—so here’s another shot of male beauty for you. Nicco Sky is a sensual, alluring, built-for-sex Randy Blue star we’ve talked about quite a bit this year. With the right partner, he can be insanely good sex. And Dallas Evans is the kind of preppy-cute hotboi for whom I have an irresistible sweet tooth. He could be a total sweetheart. But…probably trouble, probably worth it. Know what I mean? I know you do. CLICK HERE for their sexcapades; Mr. Evans bottoms for the first time onscreen in this episode.

Cute Boys Kissing: Austin Wilde, Phenix Saint
September 30, 2010 | 5 Comments
Cute Boys Kissing: In tooling around the porn-biz interwebs, I came across yet another set of rather nice pics snapped by a participant during the GayVN-Folsom bacchanal in San Francisco last weekend. This pair stood out for obvious reasons. They were snapped during the Raging Stallion “Men of the Year” party Saturday night. They’re a touch blurry because they were taken on the fly. Still hot, though. It’s Austin Wilde and Phenix Saint. Click to enlarge. ‘Nuff said.

Planet Porn: This isn’t specifically related to sex, but I’m sure you won’t mind. Life isn’t entirely about la pornographie, after all. Last night we Angelenos were treated to magical, gorgeous, Technicolor sunset (gotta love that smog). This snap was taken by Wolf Hudson—there’s your porn connection—from the roof of his apartment building near Downtown L.A. Click to embiggen.

Rivers, Wolfe Join TitanMen Stable
September 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Press Release Roundup: Internet gremlins ate a few recent press announcements from Titan Media before they reached my desk, so we’ve got a bit of catching up to do. As you may have already heard elsewhere, they’ve recently signed performers Tibor Wolfe and Dakota Rivers to exclusive contracts. Mr. Rivers has already shot a few Titan sexpics such as COYOTE POINT and MOJAVE RUN. He’s a towering hunk of studliness at 6’3 and change. “Dakota’s focus when working on the set is very internal. He’s shared with me the fact that he’s using his work with Titan as a way of exploring himself sexually and mentally,” notes director Brian Mills. He’s been around since 2005 and used to sport a preppier look for Falcon and Randy Blue. Newcomer Tibor Wolfe is another tall drink of water (6’1 or so) with a kink and fetish specialty. “Tibor is one of the biggest pigs I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He has a passion for fetish play and pushes himself to the edge on every shoot,” said Titan house director Paul Wilde. Notes the press announcement, “Tibor epitomizes the wild-eyed Southern man you would expect to find at a Georgia truck stop. But don’t let the edgy good looks fool you. He owns multiple small businesses and heads a company that manages the creative arm for each business. A sex pig and an entrepreneur.” Mr. Wolfe anchors the recent TitanMen Rough fetish blue movie BFF: BOUND, FLOGGED, FISTED. He and Mr. Rivers made the rounds of the Folsom St. Fair this past weekend.

Planet Porn: Skin Stud Flesh Parade
September 29, 2010 | 2 Comments
Planet Porn: I think we can squeeze in one more blog post about the past weekend’s sexcapades in San Francisco. Out.com has a photo feature by shutterbug Craig Seymour chronicling the GayVN Awards Friday night as well as Saturday evening’s Poppers nightclub event at The Lookout and the Raging Stallion “Men of the Year” party at Suite 181. Top left, we’ve got directrix Chi Chi LaRue being interviewed on the GayVN red carpet; top right, young hotbod Brent Everett works the crowd at The Lookout (note Ms. LaRue doing her DJ thing at right); and finally, an appealing shot of Landon Mycles (I really love how he’s always smiling broadly) and Austin Wilde at the Raging Stallion shindig. CLICK HERE for the full feature. Our Constant Readers with long memories will no doubt have taken note of the sudden appearance of porn-related features on the Out and Advocate websites over the past year. Not so long ago the skin biz just did not exist in that world—he said, with only the slightest tinge of bitterness—unless someone had committed a crime.

Examining Porn Star Hair
September 29, 2010 | 2 Comments
My colleague Onan the Vulgarian over at XXfactor.com has tapped out a new column examining the varied hairstyles of male porn actors over the years. “Nowadays in gay porn it seems that hair is little more than something to get rid of,” he writes. “So I decided to focus on it this month.” Onan isn’t talking about a hairy chest or ass, but the varied coiffures of such porn luminaries as Troy Allen of Bel Ami, one of the rare pornsters with a full head of curls, or legendary Peter Berlin‘s blond bangs that have been resurrected today as “emo hair.” Onan also waxes wittily about Francois Sagat‘s eye-catching skullcap tattoo and Jeff Stryker‘s much-debated locks. Pictured are the late, great Falcon Studios legend Kurt Marshall and Peter Berlin successor Jason Pitt. “There’s no mistaking his bicolored blond-in-front, black-in-the-back work of art,” Onan writes.

Planet Porn: As we blogged yesterday, Raging Stallion Studios crowned Adam Champ and D.O. their “2011 Men of the Year” at a stud-packed party Saturday night in San Francisco, which was squeezed between Friday’s GayVN Awards and the Folsom St. Fair on Sunday.

Next up is a smiley Wilfried Knight, who won performer of the year. And finally it’s Hard Friction moguls and real-life boyfriends Steve Cruz and Bruno Bond. Mr. Cruz snagged a best supporting actor this year for FOCUS/REFOCUS. Click the images to enlarge.

Topco Touts ‘Average Joe’ Dildos
September 28, 2010 | 1 Comment
Press Release Roundup: Adult novelty manufacturer Topco Sales has unveiled the “Average Joe” line of “realistic dongs rendered in true-to-life proportions.” There are six “men” in the new line: Construction Worker Victor [pictured], Professor Charles, Fitness Instructor Darnell, Bartender Miguel and Lawyer Terrence all measure six inches, while Mechanic Andy measures 5.5 inches. “Not everyone wants to play with a porn-sized cock. Some people prefer to keep things a little more realistic, and that’s where Average Joe comes in,” said Product Development Manager Miranda Lancaster. CLICK HERE for more details.

Michael Lucas Confronts Ann Coulter
September 28, 2010 | 9 Comments
Performer-mogul Michael Lucas is making waves in the blogosphere for a confrontation with conservative author and pundit Ann Coulter. Their exchange occurred at Homocon 2010 in New York on September 26, a fundraiser for GOProud, a newly formed group of gay conservatives. Ms. Coulter was billed as “the right-wing Judy Garland.” In an article published on Advocate.com, Mr. Lucas notes she “looked spectacular, gay assistant in tow, mingling with the crowd—many of them her friends—and delivering her signature witty and hilarious political jokes about liberals.” But when Mr. Lucas spoke up and asked her to “start defending gay people when she goes on conservative talk shows,” she dodged the subject. He asked GOProud chairman Chris Barron to forward her an email, which he gave to the Advocate, stating his request in more detail. “(I)f Coulter wants to be our friend, and I truly think she does, she should be as courageous and outspoken in her support of us with her straight, far-right followers as she is on any other issue she believes in,” Mr. Lucas writes. CLICK HERE for the Advocate piece, as well as a short video of his encounter with Ms. Coulter. That video is making the rounds of the gay, media and poltiical blogs.

Planet Porn: GayVN Flesh Parade IV
September 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Planet Porn: I complained earlier today (scroll down or click one of the links below) that it was bloody hot in Los Angeles. Within hours of that post the thermometer hit a goddamn 113 degrees, the hottest ever recorded for this date. And here I spent most of the day writing copy for Bel Ami when I ought to have been trying to cool off rather than getting all hot and bothered. Anyway, these GayVN Awards flesh-parade pics come from Jason Sechrest: Top left, we’ve got Chi Chi LaRue and Steven Daigle; his STEVEN DAIGLE: XXX-POSED sexpic won best-renting honors for 2009. Next up is Adam Killian (did he put on a shirt at all? Not that I’m complaining) with hunky, hunky, hunky Paul Wagner. Finally, Mr. Sechrest is seen feeling up Bobby Clark, who apparently announced his retirement. We’ll see how that pans out.

Quotable: Pat Rocco & Gay Porn History
September 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Quotable: “I hate when I hear that some of the younger models walked out on the [presentation of the] GayVN Lifetime Achievement Award for Pat Rocco the other night. Guys, that’s why [you're] making money right now. Without all the pioneers of the past whether it be gay porn or gay rights you wouldn’t have the freedom you have today. These people fought hard for you. So think of that when you’re standing on a patio outside at a gay bar where you didn’t have to walk into a bar with no windows and enter through the back. Or think about it when you can freely buy porn over the internet and not in some old store that smells like I don’t know what. Or, the next time you parade down Santa Monica Blvd. at Halloween in drag or an outrageous costume think of a man known as Scott Forbes who took his party in his club (Studio One) outside to a big tent and then to the streets of WeHo. Think of all the things you do now that people from the past created for your enjoyment.”
— Adult-biz videographer Ross Cannon on his new blog today (09/27/10).

D.O., Adam Champ Named ’2011 Men of the Year’
September 27, 2010 | 11 Comments
Press Release Roundup: As we blogged earlier today, performers Adam Champ and D.O. have been named 2011 Raging Stallion Men of the Year. Both men are newly signed studio exclusives and were crowned Saturday night in San Francisco during the company’s annual Folsom St. Fair shindig. The announcement carried added oomph this year, following Raging Stallion’s third-consecutive win for best picture during Friday night’s GayVN Awards ceremony. “The selection process was very difficult this year as we have a group of exclusives who are the finest actors in the business,” said company principal Chris Ward in today’s press announcement. “D.O. and Adam, however, rank as the top performers in our industry and I am proud to have them both as the top representatives of our company.” They assume the promo title from 2010 recipients David Taylor and Austin Wilde. Hunks earning the distinction in past years include Ricky Sinz (2009), Steve Cruz and Roman Ragazzi (2008), Jake Deckard (2007), Remy Delaine (2006), Miguel Leonn (2005), Shane Rollins (2004), Tom Vacarro (2003), Michael Brandon (2002), Bryce Pierce (2001) and Dean Coulter (2000).
