“JIMI HENDRIX THE SEX TAPE” FROM VIVID ENTERTAINMENT REVEALS HARDCORE SIDE OF ICONIC ROCK LEGEND This Sexumentary is expected to Hit Stores on Tuesday, May 6th

LOS ANGELES – (April 29, 2008) – Jimi Hendrix, the iconic rock ‘n roll guitarist, will be seen in a new role – as an adult film star – in “Jimi Hendrix The Sex Tape” to be released online at www.hendrixsextape.com today, Tuesday, April 29th by Vivid Entertainment, the world’s leading adult film studio. It will be available in stores across the country a week later on Tuesday, May 6th.

Vivid obtained the footage from a collector of rock ‘n roll memorabilia. It was shot about 40 years ago in a hotel room as Hendrix had an erotic liaison with two slender brunettes. When the footage starts, Hendrix appears mellow while on the receiving end of bi-racial lovemaking from the two girls. In contrast, his enthusiasm to give back pleasure appears to be boundless.

The Vivid DVD is a sexual documentary that gives insight on the uninhibited rock ‘n roll scene of the Sixties. The company consulted with several experts to authenticate the footage and the movie features commentary by two of the experts that Vivid brought in: Pamela Des Barres, author of “I’m with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie” and other books, who teams up with Cynthia Plaster Caster, famous for creating plaster molds of the penises of rock stars, including that of Hendrix. We learn more about the sexual side of Hendrix’ music through the commentary from both women who knew him personally.

“This new movie shows that Jimi Hendrix could have been as great a porn star as he was a rock star. He could clearly play more than just his guitar,” said Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch. It’s easy to see that he turned women on with his music and his passion.”

As consultants, the first job of Des Barres and Plaster Caster was to confirm that it is actually Hendrix portrayed in the 8 mm footage. “No doubt about it,” says Plaster Caster. “That’s Jimi Hendrix’ d*ck and I should know.” She then relates how she was invited to Hendrix’ hotel room on February 25, 1968, where she made a plaster mold of his penis which she compares to Jimi’s on film.

Plaster Caster says Hendrix had an orgasm while in her cast for the mold, which she numbered #0004 and called the “Penis de Milo.” “It was a magical process that only lasted a half hour,” she recalls. In the Vivid DVD she also reveals that on the night she cast Hendrix’ penis she also had sex with musician Noel Redding, bassist for The Jimi Hendrix Experience band.

Des Barres says in her commentary: “Hendrix liked to be filmed having sex. He’s the ultimate adult film movie star. I understand why everyone wanted to sleep with the guy. He played like an all-encompassing rock orgasm. He reeked of sex. You wanted to strip to keep up with him when he played ‘Foxy Lady.’”

Des Barres and Plaster Caster talk extensively about Hendrix and his influence on the Sixties. “It was a time of exploring bodies, music, drugs, of the coming together of like-minded souls who thought they would change the world,” says Des Barres. She and Plaster Caster were both among the “top groupies” invited to all of the major musical events.

“The footage proves,” says Des Barres, “that Hendrix was fabulous in bed and really wanted to please his partner.” Consumers can learn more about the movie by visiting www.hendrixsextape.com.

What does a world famous porn star do when she’s not on the set of her new mainstream movie being made in Bollywood or off promoting some new product like Vivid Footwear? Her own reality show of course!! Yes, a Vivid girl is taking part in her own reality series on the Fox Reality channel!

It was recently revealed by Sunny’s people While discussing a charity event that Sunny Leone was organizing that Sunny Leone is in fact starring in a reality show for the Fox Reality channel.

Although we couldn’t get her to reveal any more information about her upcoming “unique” reality show, we were able to get a call into the people over at Fox Reality and their response was simply that they have many unique shows in production, none of which they are able to discuss. Some of them will make it to air, some of them won’t.

It was later revealed that the show will be My Bare Lady 2. The show’s first season starred Kirsten Price, Chanel St. James, Nautica Thorn and Sasha Knox. In the first season the porn stars spent three weeks in London, studying with Shakespeare scholars and directors in preparation for a performance on London’s famed West End. However season two will change the format to a more “MTV Real World” type format where the girls of season two will move in together and search for love and pursue their dreams.

A rumor surfaced that Vivid Entertainment directly had a hand in Sunny Leone’s appearance in this new Fox Reality series so we contacted them for a comment. All they would say is “It is no secret that Vivid Entertainment has encouraged our girls to pursue mainstream projects to enhance their visibility and popularity. Some of these projects we help them with, some they do on their own. As far as this particular show, we are unable to comment, or even speculate as to its existence at this time.” So really all we got out of Vivid is that yes they encourage their girls to do shit like this but no they won’t say if they are the ones who played a direct role in getting the gig for Miss Leone.

What we do know is that as part of this reality show, Sunny Leone along with a few of her porn star friends (Brook Haven, Veronica Rayne and Casey Parker) must organize a charity event within 24 hours. From what I gather, certain adult related companies donated items and you can buy them and all the money will go to Project Cuddle, a charity for dumpster babies. ie: Date with a porn star. From what I hear some of the prizes are very extravagant.

The event will be held on April 29th, 2008 at 4pm to 8pm at Wines at selmer Estate Club which is located at 31800 Mulholand Highway, Malibu, CA 90265.
