Raven Alexis Leaves Digital Playground Behind

In news that isn’t really shocking to most, AVN is reporting that Raven Alexis and Digital Playground part ways. Apparently one more girl figured out that the only one porn star Digital Playground cares to promote and that is Jesse Jane and perhaps her replacement, Riley Steele. If you aren’t either of those girls you are nothing more than filler and not really worth wasting their time on.

Girl after girl, after girl, after girl seem to learn this lesson the hard way, after being warned of it prior to signing, yet for some reason, dumb ass girls keep signing with them. I guess they think somehow they will be different.

Well like Morgan Dayne, Angelina Armani, now Raven Alexis and many other girls have learned, if you aren’t Jesse Jane you don’t mean shit to DP and they aren’t going to waste their time promoting you or your career.   You are nothing more than fluff and filler.

Hopefully now Raven Alexis will find more success now that she is on her own.  She’s hot as hell.  No reason for her to play second fiddle to anyone.

FROM AVN —Raven Alexis has amicably parted ways with Digital Playground, citing “creative differences and business realities.” Alexis signed with the studio in August 2009.

“My experience with Digital Playground has been invaluable to my personal growth and development and has taught me so much about the industry,” Alexis said. “But with growth comes change, and as much as change may inspire trepidation, I have come to realize that it is also what ignites passions and leads to great achievement.”
Alexis told AVN that she was “looking forward to continuing to make excellent movies for a variety of studios.”

Alexis, fresh off winning a NightMoves Award for Best New Starlet, still plans to work with Digital Playground.

“While there are definite advantages to being an exclusive starlet, many things have changed in the past year since I signed with Digital that make it more beneficial to both myself and the company that we alter our relationship in a way that serves both our goals moving forward,” she said.

While with Digital Playground, Alexis’ movies and performances have consistently received high ratings. She’s appeared in Body Heat, The Substitute, Asslicious 2, Jack’s POV 16, Fly Girls, Desires, No Love Lost and Nymphomaniac.

“In this environment, both Digital Playground and I came to the conclusion that our mutual interests are best served in having the opportunity to shoot with one another on a case-by-case basis as opposed to within the confines of terms dictated within a contract created in a substantially different business climate,” Alexis said.

As an independent performer Alexis is looking forward to devoting more time to her own label, Raven Alexis Productions, and the attendant websites RavenAlexis.com and NevermoreNaughty.com, and her affiliate program located at RavenAlexisCash.com.

“We are definitely going to continue building and expanding the sites that are under the RA banner,” Alexis said. “We also have a litany of new things coming in the next few months, with the kicking off of my feature dancing tour, the e-commerce site ramping up, various partnerships with several large companies, and some surprises too.”

Digital Playground CEO Samantha Lewis was effusive in her praise of Alexis and of her time as an exclusive performer with the studio.

“She is, through my 18 years in this business, one of the most responsible, beautiful, and pleasant contact girls I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with,” Lewis told AVN. “I truly hope we’ll still continue to work with each other. Raven is extremely intelligent and articulate, not to mention a great performer, and it’s truly been a pleasure working with her. She’s bright, she’s motivated and we did some great work together. I know she has her own business interests, and if we can add anything to help make those companies grow, we will do so. We’re hoping to continue the relationship we’ve built with her. We adore her. She will always be a part of the Digital family.”

Alexis will be booking her own gigs in the meantime while she finalizes her new agency affiliation. She can be reached at raven@ravenalexis.com, or email john@ravenalexisproductions.com.

I see Selena Rose having a great career and successfully accomplishing all my goals in life.

Let’s learn a little bit about Selena Rose, the person. What kind of child were you growing up?

Growing up, I was a shy girl but still outgoing. I always got what I wanted. I always made sure to look my best at all times so the boys in high school would go crazy for me. LOL.

How would you describe yourself as both a person and performer?

As a person, I’m a lovable girl with lots of ambition. I am very care free with a lot of love to give. I love animals and hanging out with my friends and family. As a performer, I like to be a freak – sex is my favorite thing to do.

What do you look for in a relationship? Can you describe your idea of the perfect date?

In a relationship, I look for honesty, respect, love, compassion, responsibility, and most of all, a great friendship. A perfect date for me would be with a super hot guy in a yacht in the middle of the ocean at midnight having champagne under the stars. 🙂

To all my fans: I love you all and keep looking out for Selena Rose!

Kayden Kross lands on the cover of Penthouse again

You can say what you want about Kayden Kross, but even her detractors can’t argue that Kayden Kross is one very beautiful lady. Well, at least on the outside she is. Her amazing good looks have gotten her contracts with three big adult studios, first Vivid, then Adam and Eve and now she is under contract with Digital Playground. Two years ago she was a Penthouse Pet and on the cover of their September 2008 issue and again exactly two years later on the September 2010 issue.  They call this their anniversary issue so getting the September cover is really a big deal and getting it twice in three years is really no matter how you try and size it up, damn impressive.

Selena Rose former star Sasha Bleu

The newest Digital Playground girl, Selena Rose, is former porn star Sasha Bleu (aka Sasha Bleou) and she’s far from fresh and innocent.  We posted the Digital Playground story a few days ago. You can read the full press release HERE. The DP press release says:

The sultry, Cuban beauty shot her first film just days after signing with Digital Playground.

However according to her twitter account, her first movie actually came out in May of this year; True Glamoour Experience

My 1st DVD comes out this Month w/ Savanah Ginger, Charley Chase, etc…

After doing some digging I found that this was actually her THIRD movie. Her first being “Keep It Right There #5” which was released April 30th 2010.

And her third movie, was release just this month! “Lingerie Kittens

Sasha Beau also did two scenes for Reality Kings, one of which was a blow job 4 way (3 girls, 1 guy all giving a BJ) in April of 2010 and in March of 2010 she did a scene with them which was a straight boy/girl.

Miss Sasha Bleu was managed by Robin Steel out of Miami, not confirmed if she is still with him since signing her DP contract, however he recently tweeted:

and mind you this same model has tried 3 other BIG agencies n none could get her any work. and my ‘small time’ ass did. n u wanna talk shit?

Atleast she complaining about having too much work and not because i cant book her.

Wow so this new model talking shit because i got her Too Much Work Too fast. r u serious? Excuse me for being good at my job.

And of course my favorite quote from the DP press release is:

Digital Playground has always maintained the highest quality above and beyond, with everything from our novelties, movies, and especially our girls.” says Samantha Lewis, Digital Playground CEO. “Selena Rose is a perfect fit for Digital Playground with her flawless beauty and innocent smile…

Maybe they haven’t seen this clip on YouTube of her smoking a Doobie! Keep up the good work Digital Playground!

Ever heard of Selena Rose?

If you haven’t heard of this little Latina hottie named Selena Rose, you will soon enough as she was just signed by Digital Playground.  She doesn’t quite have the exotic fair of former DP contract girl Rio Valentine but she is still hot nonetheless.

DIGITAL PLAYGROUND SIGNS SULTRY, LATINA HOTTIE, SELENA ROSE

Her girl-next-door charm and vibrant enthusiasm promises to delight fans around the globe

Digital Playground, the award-winning studio and leading provider of world-class content to the adult genre, is pleased to announce it has signed an exclusive deal with Selena Rose, making her the newest and youngest addition to the studio’s elite roster of world-renowned talent.

Selena Rose aspires to be the biggest adult star of the century. The sultry, Cuban beauty shot her first film just days after signing with Digital Playground. Selena says “I’m a very playful, outgoing girl who happens to loves sex.   Being a Digital Playground girl is an honor because I know I will get great exposure doing what I love!”

Selena was working as a Hooter’s girl, when an agent friend encouraged her to get into the adult industry. She is very excited breaking into the business with Digital Playground  “I am so thrilled to be featured along with the other gorgeous Contract Stars.” said the 19-year old Leo. “Digital Playground is known for having the best movies with the most beautiful women. I’m anxious to  dive in and become the best at what I do.”

She enjoys everything about her new career. “I love putting on a show for my viewers, especially when it involves gorgeous guys with great abs. I have this fantasy where I get to have sex on a beautiful island with Scott Nails and Manuel Ferrara. Well now, that might be a reality soon.” she says with a devilish smile.

“Digital Playground has always maintained the highest quality above and beyond, with everything from our novelties, movies, and especially our girls.” says Samantha Lewis, Digital Playground CEO. “Selena Rose is a perfect fit for Digital Playground with her flawless beauty and innocent smile that seems to captivate everyone she meets.  Selena is not just another pretty face, she is a star in the making.”

“She’s a natural talent and the camera just loves her from every angle.” remarks Digital Playground Director, Robby D. “Her exotic allure is sure to appeal to fans everywhere.”

Exclusive Morgan Dayne Update

Morgan Dayne (aka Rio Valentine) wrote in recently to give me an update about her life.   She tells me that she and Digital Playground have parted ways since she had the baby but that she is doing well and thanks all of her fans for wishing her a happy mother’s day this year.

Interesting to me was that she said they parted ways AFTER she had the baby.  The way Digital Playground PR stopped mentioning her, not even really promoting WHORE IT UP, her first feature for them, I would have guessed they had an ending of sorts long before that.

I don’t know how many if any movies Digital Playground has left to release for the short time she was with them but I did hear that Cezar Capone had one more movie he just put out about her.
