Protect Your ‘Crown Jewels’ with Royal Condoms
February 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment
More silliness for a slow Monday. In honor of the upcoming royal nuptials—you may have heard something about it—a British company has released this three-pack of “novelty” condoms, meaning they aren’t suitable for guarding against the spread of STIs or the conception of a little prince or princess. They aren’t condoms then, are they? Odd, but there you have it. Now, brand some prophylactics with the face of Prince Hot Ginge and we’ll be cooking with gas.

‘Amateur Straight Guys’: Make the Switch
February 28, 2011 | 2 Comments
I don’t know how long AmateurStraightGuys.com has been running this flyer—a year or three—but it recently gave me a giggle. “Ditch the bitch and make the switch” is an oldie-but-goodie, and it’s cute that the aphorism is being used to sell memberships to a paysite that sells the fantasy of straight guys going homo. And given the internecine warfare lately over gay-for-pay performers, I like that the poster in this case is selling straighties who decide gay is the way. Or maybe it’s just a slow Monday and I am easily amused. Longtime industry photographer Anthony Duran took the photo, which I found on his Facebook page.

‘Village Voice’ Dubs Michael Lucas a ‘Zionist Porn Impresario’
February 28, 2011 | 1 Comment
It’s Monday, nearly a week after performer-mogul Michael Lucas pressured the LGBT Center in New York into canceling an event it was to host for the upcoming Israeli Apartheid Week. The resulting blowback occupied the gay-media-gossip blogosphere for a few days, but now the story is percolating in the mainstream media (which is why we’re writing about it again). The New York Daily News has weighed in. “Never would we have imagined finding common cause with a porn film producer, but now we have had the pleasure,” they write. And the Village Voice dubbed Mr. Lucas a “Zionist porn producer” in its Friday article. “In the past couple of days, our inbox, comments board… and Facebook wall have been flooded with all kinds of charges against both Wolf and Lucas,” notes writer Steven Thrasher. “Is [activist Sherry] Wolf a self-hating Jew hell-bent on inappropriately co-opting the LGBT Center for the ‘non-gay’ goal of destroying the state of Israel, or is she a queer activist utilizing the Center in its grandest tradition of organization and free speech? Is Lucas an opportunistic self-promoter who found yet another opportunity in his continuing evolution from porn king to pundit, or is he a true Zionist believer—or is he both?”

‘UK Naked Men’ Cozies Up to Oscar
February 28, 2011 | 1 Comment
During last night’s Academy Awards ceremony, The King’s Speech lost the trophy for Best Art Direction to the psychedelia of Alice in Wonderland. But the movie did win four awards, including Best Picture, which means the fine fellows at UKNakedMen.com can say they shared a film set with an Oscar-winning film. As well, the worldwide publicity the company earned over the past seven or eight days—encompassing the Twitterverse as well as traditional mainstream media outlets—makes for a lovely additional prize, wouldn’t you say? (“I can’t deny that we noticed, but with two strapping, uncut, naked studs like Carioca and Kurt [Rogers] we didn’t think anyone else would notice the set,” they blogged recently). CLICK HERE for their paysite. Onward and upward.

Dept. of WEHT: Antonio Madiera
February 25, 2011 | 8 Comments
Dept. of WEHT: I am always happy to have another installment of this popular series. Our Constant Readers love these updates more than almost anything else, but it’s not easy to track down our boys once they leave the blue-movie scene. Anyway, courtesy of Rob Romoni comes this screencap of the wondrous Antonio Madiera from this week’s episode—I think—of the reality series Million Dollar Listing on Bravo. He’s working in a real estate office these days, still as youthful and handsome as ever. I’ve been saying for years that Mr. Madiera is a vampire and no one believes me. But he debuted in MOVIN’ ON for Men of Odyssey in 2001! And he looks essentially the same! Dang. CLICK HERE for another screencap at Mr. Romoni’s blog. You’ll recall Dean Phoenix made a similar cameo last summer on Bravo’s Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, looking tanned and muscular and mighty fine.

Lucas Responds to Criticism Over Event Cancellation
February 25, 2011 | 6 Comments
Performer-mogul Michael Lucas has fired back at activist Sherry Wolf in response to the criticism she lobbed his way via the Village Voice yesterday. Ms. Wolf was incensed that Lucas successfully pressured New York’s LGBT Center into canceling an event scheduled for the upcoming Israeli Apartheid Week (see the links below for background). “We cannot allow a wealthy porn entrepreneur to dictate what kind of speech is allowed, at a center whose very mission is to represent the oppressed and the marginalized!” she said, adding she has “a responsibility and a right to organize with my Palestinian brothers and sisters, particularly because I am a Jewish anti-Zionist. I see no reason why the Center should shut itself down on this issue because of one porn entrepreneur with a platform in the Advocate.” Lucas said her group “has absolutely nothing to do with LGBT rights. In fact, her agenda is to advocate for a boycott of Israel and divestment of Israeli assets.” Further, he added, Ms. Wolf “fights for regimes where homosexuals are stoned, mutilated and hanged. And she demonizes Israel, the only country in the Middle East where LGBT people have full rights—even more than in the US. How is that supposed to help the ‘Palestinian gay and lesbian brothers and sisters’?” His full interview will be published on VillageVoice.com today.

Activist Criticizes Michael Lucas for Event Cancellation
February 24, 2011 | 4 Comments
Earlier today, we ran a quick blog post detailing the pressure brought to bear on the LGBT Center in New York for its planned hosting of an event for Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) next month. Mr. Lucas proposed a boycott of the Center and within hours, the event had been canceled (scroll down or see the link below for background). There’s been some blowback to the Center’s decision. Activist Sherry Wolf of Siege Busters Working Group tells the Village Voice today that her organization has been meeting at the Center for months and had planned to meet during IAW at the Center. The Voice notes she is “enraged” that her event was canceled without warning and resents being labeled anti-Semitic. “More than half of [Siege Busters] is Jewish, and the others are mostly Arabs, and they call us anti-Semitic? Isn’t the Center a place where different people are supposed to meet and discuss? Shouldn’t Jews and Arabs, gay and lesbian and transgender, working together towards peace be something that is celebrated?” she said. “We cannot allow a wealthy porn entrepreneur to dictate what kind of speech is allowed, at a center whose very mission is to represent the oppressed and the marginalized!” Describing herself as “a citizen of the world,” Ms. Wolf said she has “a responsibility and a right to organize with my Palestinian brothers and sisters, particularly because I am a Jewish anti-Zionist. I see no reason why the Center should shut itself down on this issue because of one porn entrepreneur with a platform in the Advocate.” CLICK HERE for the full interview, which is making the blog rounds this afternoon.

Wendy Williams Markets ‘Salad Tossing’ Anal Spray
February 24, 2011 | 6 Comments
Press Release Roundup: We briefly mentioned a few weeks ago that T-girl performer-mogul Wendy Williams would have her own line of adult novelties via Doc Johnson. In the lucrative world of sex toys it is still, well, a novelty to have a line of products branded after—and molded from—transsexual models. In fact, until now there have been only two: starlets Gia Darling and Allanah Starr. “I was beyond excited and honored to join a company that had also released a product line of my idol, Belladonna,” notes Ms. Williams. “From day one, the crew at Doc Johnson made this personal and allowed me to present my ideas for products and to be part of the planning and packaging.” First off the line is Wendy’s Salad-Tossing Spray in lollipop and strawberry flavors (I want this already.) Some years ago, Williams realized a flavored spray, rather than lubricant, would more effectively bring a bit of kick to anal play. “I love to rim and be rimmed,” she said. “I brought the idea to Doc Johnson and now it’s come to life.” The entire line was designed in collaboration with Rebecca Weinberg. “We decided not to introduce to the market items that you can find already,” she said. “Instead we focused on items that Wendy would use in her own life.” Next up is Wendy’s Anal Training Kit. CLICK HERE for ordering details. Constant Readers with long memories will recall The French Connection in 2008 produced not anal sprays, but scented enemas.

Lucas Pressures New York’s LGBT Center Into Canceling Event
February 24, 2011 | 4 Comments
Performer-mogul Michael Lucas is all over the blogs again this week. In a nutshell, Mr. Lucas was incensed by news that the LGBT Center in New York was to host a gathering on March 5 for Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW). On Tuesday, he called for a boycott of the Center. “It was an inexcusable decision on the Center’s part to associate itself with a hate group,” he said in a press release. “Anti-Israeli groups, like IAW, are using the pretext of support for Palestinians to stoke old anti-Semitic hatreds and perpetuate Jewish stereotypes. They’re also growing increasingly and aggressively pro-Islam. The IAW is attempting to organize a boycott campaign against Israel. Jewish and non-Jewish members of the gay community are baffled by the LGBT Center’s decision to support a controversial organization that has nothing to do with gay rights.” Lucas notes that Israel is generally supportive of gay rights. He included contact information for the Center’s Executive Director, Glennda Testone, and publicly called on her to cancel the event. And she did. In fact, the event was called off within hours of the proposed boycott hitting the blogs. Mr. Lucas and I briefly spoke about the incident via email. “It took me and my assistant about 100 phone calls and 100 emails,” he told me. “All while filming the last day of my next film, ASSASSINS.” And the story is still rolling. I was asked about it last night on “The Derek & Romaine Show,” and a number of bloggers are now taking a don’t-mess-with-Lucas angle. “I stand with Israel for its right to defend itself, never to be exterminated again,” he said in a separate email published on JoeMyGod. “Even if the entire world will think differently, I will not change my mind. I will always fight anti-Semitism in the world wherever it may try to hide.”
