The Whorella beads were hung by the chimney with care, and another holiday season passes on. Because this is what we do, here are some highlights from the past year, in no particular order and with little rhyme or reason.
The exodus to barebacking continued, with a major studio star putting his...er, foot in.
Another mainstream performer apparently has taken to the barebacking field. Josh Weston,
who has appeared in major films for major studios, has made what appears to be his bareback debut in a new film for SX, the studio that brought us the barebacking adventures of Jeff Palmer, among others. "Bodybuilders Bareback " first met my eyes on the Atkol forum, thanks to a diligent reader, which had a thread about it. According to the folks at SX, Josh was “very professional and great to work with.” He was paired with gay-for-pay model Aidyn Michael, who has, I was told, “a big fat cock. Josh was really into that big wanger and was moaning and groaning like a cat in heat the whole time.” How vivid.
Back in January, Chi Chi had big plans...
Obviously thinking that everything old is new again, Chi Chi LaRue is going to be remaking the Catalina classic "Powertool." And not with its original Powertool-er Jeff Stryker.
This time, the directress and diva-extraordinaire is conducting a world-wide search for an unknown who will, you should pardon the expression, have extremely large shoes to fill, though I'm not sure that "shoes" is what will be filled, if you catch my drift. And, of course, he must be "drop dead gorgeous." The Chichster began her search last weekend in Nashville, and will continue until the perfect guy is found. I guess it was inevitable, as the Catalina name and library was acquired by Ms LaRue recently.
Yeah, what ever happened with that, you might ask? Well, I did, and Ms. LaRue told me from the frigid Minnesota, "Still looking for the perfect star -I'm being very picky."
From February:
The news is not good for Mark Dalton. The muscle-porn-star, who has been incarcerated since last June for a parole violation, has been denied parole for 2008 by the Texas Board of Corrections. Because the Parole Board meets only once a year, this means that the soonest that Dalton could be sprung is June of 2009. His maximum term ends in May of 2011.
I still get a few emails a week asking me for his snail address. Should he return to porn, he'll probably make a million.
Speaking of guys in the slammer..
.Jet Set Exclusive Nikolay Petrov
has been arrested and charged with attempting to kill a Sarasota Florida couple. I suspect it was one of the avid Atkol Forum posters who first discovered the item at the Sarasota ABC affiliate's web site, which actually had been posted a month or so ago, when the arrest took place. The FBI has apparently been investigating the case of over a year and several industry-ites were aware of the situation, but kept it under wraps. Jet Set's Chris Steele told GAYN that he was "flabbergasted" when he heard of Petrov's situation , and Petrov's agent Fabscout Entertainment said they were aware, and offered support to his family. Petrov is up for a couple of GAYVN awards next week, but it is doubtful that he will be available to attend. Arrested and charged under his real name of Edmon Vardanyan, the 23 year-old faces a maximum charge of 20 years in the slammer, 3 years supervised release and a 250G fine.
Nikolay pleaded guilty, and is scheduled to be sentenced sometime in February 2009.
Where is Robert Prion, you might ask? Well, in April, he was right here.. .
I hadn't heard from Robert Prion in ages. The NJ "trash" director came to mind when I saw that Chicago's Bijou Video is about to release a series called "New Jersey Trash," a collection of 15 movies directed by Prion between '87 and '94. The movies, many of which I wrote about years ago, were filled with young, "working-class" men who were into just about everything, tops, bottoms, and the cheap sets, which were probably shot in his own home and garage, were just...well, fabulous. The AVN referred to him, at one point, as "the William Higgins of New Jersey," I guess because what Higgins did for the California beach boys, Prion did for the...well, I hate to use the word "trash" of New Jersey. I talked to Prion, who himself just heard of the upcoming releases. He told me he gets asked about his movies all the time. In addition to his regular stable of Jersey guys, Prion also featured such porn legends as Joey Stefano, Jon King and Karl Thomas. And Prion is still at it, having just started filming his 69th film, with 7 or 8 new faces. His latest is "Backdoor Advances," and the new first three of the "New Jersey Trash" series are at Bijou's website.
Robert tells me that Video 10 continues to release his older stuff, and he has a new one coming out that he made with Ryan Raz before he became a big deal with Lucas. The man never stops.
Titan Studios made a name for themselves not only for their continued fine product, but for not letting anyone take advantage of their success. This item is from April.
You've gotta love Titan Media, not only for their fine movies, but for the fact that they will not stand still and let the gay porn industry, especially them, be walked all over. A judgment to the tune of $1.275 million in damages was handed down to Titan in a copyright infringement suit they filed against 22 defendants who pirated Titan films. Claiming a victory for not only Titan but the entire adult industry, VP Keith Webb said, "You can run and hide but, in the end, everything you do online can be traced back to you." Webb says they were able to subpoena ISPs and track the IP address and individual identity of each person that was posting and distributing Titan titles. Congratulations, guys, and keep up your good work that benefits us all.
Titan has opened the door for others, who are just fed up and aren't going to take it anymore. Where have I heard that before...
And you thought Michael Lucas was the first to come up with this idea...you'd be wrong. This item is from May.
We currently enjoy, in no particular order, feet, armpits, water sports, underwear, jock straps, and now, readers, may I present, farting. Yes, college kids, the BigDikFactory has added farting to the list of fetishes, presented by "super hot jock Joe Fartanello." I'm not making this up. The house director, the inimitable Toby Ross, says the first DVD is now in production, titled "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden," and promised us there would be no scratch-and-sniff cards. "I think that's overdoing it," Toby said, tongue firmly implanted in cheek, let us hope. He did say the DVD will not be just a "fart marathon," saying "That shit could kill you." It will consist of regular stories that have "embedded comical fart snippets" in them. When asked about "regular stories," Toby said, "We have a gay kid who is in love with the hetero college prankster, the prankster wants nothing to do with our gay boy until one day, he cuts a deal with him. 'You can suck me as long as I can fart while you do that,' so it happens, and as the action goes on and the prankster cuts the cheese while being sucked, they both get engulfed in the raunchiness of this trip but from two different perspectives." Sounds perfect for a pickup by the Family Channel. With their already being notorious for their big dicks, Ross says it makes sense that now the "big dicks and fart tornadoes go well together." As he puts it, "I am into the psychological aspect of sex. Besides, we are based in Chicago," Ross added. "They don't call it the Windy City for nothing." Did I day I don't make this up. Look for the first of the new scenes on their website shortly.
The movie is called "Straight Boys Gay Boys 2: I Never Promised You a Rose Garden,"
and Toby tells me it will be released in February 2009 (it's available for pre-order now at TLA, if you just can't wait), but he also had a "fart" scene in "Moon Over Hong Kong," because these are things youse gots to know.
In June, Matthew Rush, one of porn's nice guys, had a meltdown. Unfortunately, he chose to do it on his webcam…
Looks like the story of Zeb Atlas and Jake Cruise just isn't going to go away quietly. Now it's Matthew Rush
who is getting into the picture, by breaking down on his webcam the other day for the porn world to see. The video was posted for a while at Tass' Porn Confidential site (I ran a link to it from my blog page), but Falcon was obviously not enamored of it, and, since they own Rush's webcam site, strongly suggested the 15-minute crying rant be removed (it has been replaced on PC by an equally-wacky montage of Todd Montgomery's departure from the studio). From what I can determine, Rush is upset that Zeb chose to first get a BJ from the erstwhile Mr. Cruise, which certainly seemed to take some of the anticipation away from his Falcon debut, and makes Matt "sloppy seconds." Ah, but there's more. Rush claims that Zeb was...how shall I put this..."unclean" when he was rimming Zeb for the scene, and Rush caught an intestinal parasite. Please, no one say, "That's show business." I like Matthew Rush (I have nothing against Zeb, I might add, other than him being gay-for-pay, not that there's anything wrong with that), and I guess he was just venting. Yes, I'm sure that's the way Falcon is looking at it. Zeb's bottoming scene was filmed for Falcon and released, and I hear it did well. And Matt survived.
From early August: Sad to report on the death of former Rascal Exclusive Cole Ryder.
Early reports said Ryder apparently died in his sleep of a staph infection, but late word is that the cause of death is unknown at this point, pending autopsy results.. Cole was with Rascal in 2006, discovered by Doug Jeffries, who introduced Cole to Chi Chi. Cole appeared in several movies, including Chi Chi's "Link: The Evolution," and had his cock immortalized with his very own dildo. Chi Chi LaRue issued a statement on GayPornBlog, saying, "Cole Ryder was a beautiful person on the inside and the outside! He had such a great manly appeal and the heart of a gentle giant. Cole was always such a pleasure to work with and I'm deeply saddened by his passing. I can only wish now that he is in peace and he will always have a special place in my heart and the C1R Family."
August also brought us Blue Blake in print...I got a sneak peak at Blue Blake's new book "Out of the Blue: Confessions of an Unlikely Porn Star," and I've gotta tell you, I was on the floor before the fourth page. If you know Blue, it's to our advantage that he writes just like he talks and, if you are at all familiar with the gay porn business, this is a must-read. It's available right now for pre-order at Amazon.com, and I get a cut of every one sold. Kidding.
Blue tells me he's doing a sequel. Have I ever lied to you?
Released in August, perhaps you got one for Christmas...
Speaking of the Holiday season (Oh, was I?), I'm sure you'll want to check out Channel 1's new and what I suspect will be a hot item, the Blake Riley Ass.
Yes indeed, it is a perfect mold of the Rascal Video Exclusive's ass, hole and balls. I've heard it weighs nearly 15 pounds (15 POUNDS????:) and feels "soft, like real skin, but firm like real muscle." It also has, and I'm not sure what this is but what the hell, a 7-function waterproof bullet, a touch-pad controller with separate on/off button, an open-ended love tunnel for easy cleaning (I'm not making this up), it is waterproof, it has a hand-painted anal opening (an important feature), and, lastly, it is phthalate-free, whatever that means. You can pre-order yours at the Channel 1 site now.
In September, Kurt Wild got fired. From a sandwich shop, yet...
Poor Kurt Wild.
Well, even poorer Kurt Wild, as the cutie performer is now without a real job. Kurt sent out an email to the industry, telling us that he has been fired from his real job as manager of a Subway in Missouri after being outed as a gay porn star. In his email, Kurt said he was recognized by a customer, and that "...A customer said they wouldn't even eat there at Subway anymore because of past work and said that if I wasn't fired then they would boycott the store." The first question, naturally, is if this is the same customer who recognized him from the movie and...what was he doing watching a gay porn movie if he found it so offensive. But I digress. Kurt said, "...maybe I should take a stand and boycott their store too if they can't let people's privacy be treated right." He also said that it probably wouldn't have gone down that way had it been a woman discovered doing straight porn. Kurt himself is, according to TheSword.com, married with three kids and, it says here, "...uses gay porn to exercise his non-heteronormative inclinations (he bottoms voraciously) while pulling in extra cash." I've got to go look up "non-heteronormative inclinations," and I'll be right back.
According to Wikipedia, "...the heteronormative view is that physical sex, gender identity, and gender roles should, in any given person, align to either all-male or all-female cultural norms." Don't say you never learned anything here.
The Forestman returned after a court-mandated trip to rehab.
David Forest is back. The former agent-to-the-stars is now a free man, released a month early from his stint at a rehab facility north of LA. The Forestman sold his business to Fabscout shortly before his incarceration, and is now not only a free man, but drug-free and sober, and intends to stay that away. He wasted no time in contacting his friends in the industry, and while he says he has no desire to get back into the "agent-ing" end of the biz, I can't imagine him sitting at home, watching "The Guiding Light" and eating bon-bons. Well, actually, I can imagine him eating the bon-bons, but I digress. Forest's first public appearance in four months was at a club opening in WeHo, where he was spotted amidst the loveliness of Johnny Castle, Chi Chi LaRue, Jason Sechrest, Jamie Hendrix and JC Adams. David called me early this morning, and he was actually just arising, as opposed to the days of old, when he'd just be getting in. Times change. With the ForestMen now history, he tells me he will be concentrating on his...ahem, "FORESTMeetings, The Ultimate Connection." Knowing David, I suspect we'll be hearing more about that and other ventures once he settles in again.
He has settled in, and we hear from him often.
Raging Stallion pushed the envelope with their then-upcoming new release...
Nothing like stirring up some press for a soon-to-be-released movie, and Raging Stallion is doing just that by...ahem, "leaking" a preview trailer for their "To The Last Man" movie.
Yes, there's violence, stranglings, drownings, shootings, hangings, and we haven't even gotten to the sex parts yet. (Spoiler alert!) My lord, they even slit my honey RJ Danvers' (left) lovely throat! Extreme violence? Oh, c'mon, if Zane Grey could do it... RSS's Chris Ward says the Tony DiMarco script was 80 pages, with nearly a dozen dead. Nothing like creating controversy to sell a movie, particularly if it's good.
The Lucas' got married..
No, he didn't change his mind at the last minute. Michael Lucas did indeed wed his partner Richard Winger last weekend high in the Hollywood Hills. Officiated by West Hollywood City Councilman John Duran, the event was attended by a limited assortment of porn A-listers, including Chi Chi, RuPaul, TheSword.com's Michael Stabile, gossip monger Billy Masters and Randy Blue. The ceremony and associated activities were also a fund-raiser for No On California's Prop 8 campaign, which would eliminate same-sex marriage from the California constitution. The festivities were filmed by Mr. Pam, and I have a feeling they will be showing up at assorted (and sordid) places shortly. The two "happy grooms" will have a gathering in NYC later to commemorate the occasion on the East Coast. Our correspondent tells us that City Hall was full of happy couples that day, with Duran commenting that he was marrying couples every 15 minutes. For all the good it did.
Oh. And the Jarics became switch-hitters, and Jordan Jaric got a nose job. It was a full year. Happy 2009 from the cast and crew at vidioview.com,
and I shall leave you at this point Elizabeth.
