Ex-Pornster Heading for NYC ‘Million Dollar Listing’?
March 30, 2011 | 4 Comments
Today the Bravo cable network officially renewed a swath of its existing shows and unveiled a slate of upcoming series—including Million Dollar Listing: New York, which premieres later this year. “Manhattan’s most relentless realtors close multi-million dollar deals faster than a yellow cab runs a red light,” reads the press hype. “This docu-series sets out to prove that if you can make it/afford it here…well, you know the rest.” The series is notable to our Constant Readers for the expected presence of golden-boy Fredrik Eklund, whose charmed life includes an acclaimed stint as pornster Tag Eriksson. Bravo did not announce the cast, but the blogosphere was all over it just a few months ago (CLICK HERE for starters). Given Mr. Eklund’s blue-movie career was included in a glowing New York Times profile (see the link below), I doubt Bravo will be able to wipe it clean the way MTV appears to be trying to diminish the rather extensive XXX background of Real World: Las Vegas castmate Dustin Zito. Plus, Bravo dealt with this already in a roundabout fashion when they cast straight-porn superstud Jean Val Jean in their one-season wonder Chef Academy. But two former gay porn studs costarring on reality teevee shows at the same time? Quite a wrinkle in the anals (tee-hee) of pop culture. CLICK HERE for Bravo’s announcement.

We certainly have come a long way, that’s for sure.
How can MTV pretend Dustin didn’t do any porn? Don’t they get how the fucking Internet works?? Pathetic.
