Porn Star vs Porn Starlet, yes there is a difference

Posted on by

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day how we often don’t appreciate the fine art of being a star, a porn star. We sort of lump everyone that performs in adult movies as a porn STAR but in reality there are vast differences between a porn star and all the rest. We got into this conversation while talking about the whole Michael Ninn situation and how little respect the owner of Ninn Worx_SR, John L. Gray has for porn stars and basically treats them like dime a dozen strippers.


So really what does define a porn star over a common stripper or aspiring porn starlet?  The first thing I would say would be industry recognition so that would be judged best by award nominations.  But that alone is not enough.  A true porn STAR would be someone who’s name can carry an entire movie and by that I mean sell well.


Say what you will but in the end this business, like others is about MONEY and without it there is no porn industry so we would need no porn stars.  So a true porn star would need to be someone who can make that movie they were just in sell.  Let’s look at some examples ….

First we have the look of a common stripper.  Sure she’s cute and has the potential to be a porn star but in this picture we see her as a stripper. This really is a picture of a Devon before she was famous. It was when she was a stripper, hoping to one day be a porn star and boy what a difference the two photos show.


Devon


Now here is the photo of that same girl once she has become a porn star!  She became a porn STAR not just based on the fact that she starred in adult films or got some award nominations but because she got name recognition and a decently large fan base.  If you made a movie with Devon in it (back when this photo was taken) this shit would sell.


Devon



Next we have Sasha Hollander.  She in fact has been in several pornos including Afro Invasion 6 from Candy Shop.   But she isn’t a porn star.  We will classify her as an aspiring porn star or porn starlet.  Although she has about a year of experience in the industry her name has yet to really draw in the fans.

Next we have someone who has been in the industry quite a few years.  She has a large number of titles under her belt, and some award nominations including a few Urban Spice Award nominations.  She is a feature performer on the dance circuit but in reality she’s never really passed the fame threshold.  In fact, she didn’t even get a nod on the hot 100 who featured porn stars that I personally considered so non existent it wasn’t even funny but that sort of brings me back to my point.  Not everyone can be a STAR and in this case we have an industry veteran, who although hot still is not a porn star.

So next I give you every definition of what a star is.  Some of you may be annoyed by her and others may not find her all that attractive but say what you will, this bitch sells fucking movies that she appears in.  Her name alone makes many fans look twice at the movie simply because she is in the movie.  She is famous both in the industry and in the real world.

Oh wait, you thought I was talking about Tera Patrick didn’t you?  Well no.  Although all that I said may be true about Tera Patrick, I am actually referring to Sunny Leone.  Who besides her large fan base in the porn world also has done quite a bit of mainstream work as well including appearing in the upcoming My Bare Lady 2, a Fox reality show.

Now that I’ve said all of this I want to point out that it’s not a direct insult saying you aren’t a porn star.  It’s just that well the term means more than just some chick who appears in an adult film.  The term porn star means someone who has reached success in the adult film industry and the judge of that includes award nominations and large sales of their DVDs.  You can be the sweetest, most attractive person in the world but it doesn’t make you a STAR … a porn star.  Only the big bucks associated with the sale of your DVDs can do that.

How Bad Must it Suck to be Tera Patrick right now?

I was reading the Wikipedia entry for Tera Patrick when I seen this ….

In 2003, Tera Patrick became the masthead publisher of Genesis magazine, a popular men’s magazine which subtitles itself, “The Home of Porn’s Hottest Stars.” Since she has signed the contract with Genesis, Patrick has graced the cover of seven issues of the publication.

So how bad must it suck to be pushed aside as #2 to Stormy Daniels in the new Genesis Hot 100 porn stars list when you are the masthead publisher? I don’t know … but it’s got to sting a little considering the fact that Tera Patrick has worked her ass off for the past few years to get the title of Queen of Porn from Jenna Jameson, only to be pushed aside so easily by a magazine she is so closely associated with.


So it got me thinking about the whole situation and actual data. Who REALLY is hot shit right now? I mean we can speculate all we want but what about the cold hard facts? I decided to go with the only real hardcore data that is available to us through the wonderous powers of the all mighty Internet.


I will not dispute the fact that both Tera Patrick and Stormy Daniels are hot as fuck and both have a very large fan base. But what I want to know is exactly who is more popular than the other? I conduct this research using only publicly found data from the Internet. In my report I am also including Briana Banks. I happen to know she’s far, far more popular than the Genesis hot 100 report reflects and I am going to use this data to prove that too!

Alexa Traffic Reports


The first data available to us is traffic ranking reports from Alexa.com. Now any expert will tell you that this data isn’t really THAT accurate but it’s really the best tool we have that is publically available for ranking traffic for websites. But again I do want to be completely fair and state that the data found on Alexa isn’t meant to be 100% accurate, just show you a basic idea of the average traffic a website may get.

  • TeraPatrick.com has an Alexa traffic rank of 28.087
  • Brianabanks.com has an Alexa traffic rank of 101.643
  • StormyDaniels.com has an Alexa traffic rank of 674,758

This means that according to the Alexa ranking system, StormyDaniels.com gets less than 2,000 unique visitors a day where as TeraPatrick.com is getting over 20,000. This data may or may not be real accurate so let us move on.

Domain name experts (or domainers for short) are making a killing in the virtual real estate market. They buy domain names for low prices and resell them for more. It’s a unique combination of the real estate and stock market, all done in a virtual world of the dot com market.

These people make it their business to know the value of a domain name based on certain factors. One of these key factors is the value of keywords that make up a domain name such as “Tera Patrick”. This is a name of a porn star to me and you but to these guys it’s a keyword that put together with a .com, becomes on very valuable domain. It’s valuable because these guys know how many times people search for the keywords “Tera Patrick” in any given day, month or year.

Google Term Frequency

There are three based tools used for this. The first is called Google Term Frequency. This basically means how many times the keywords appear in Google.

  • The Google Term Frequency for Stormy Daniels is 80,400
  • The Google Term Frequency for Tera Patrick is 3,460,000
  • The Google Term Frequency for Briana Banks is 4,830,000

So using Google Term Frequency alone, Briana Banks would be more popular than Tera Patrick and there isn’t even any competition with Stormy Daniels …. she’s so low on the chart it’s not even funny. In gamer terms, Stormy Daniels would be a “noob”.

Overture Ratings – OVT

Next we have what is call the OVT or Overture rating. This is a basic judge of how many times per month people search for the keywords. In this case our keywords are Tera Patrick, Stormy Daniels and Briana Banks.

  • Briana Banks has an OVT Rating of 179,713
  • Tera Patrick has an OVT rating of 212,520
  • Stormy Daniels has an OVT rating of 8,488

Using this method Tera Patrick is on top, with Briana Banks in a close second and Stormy Daniels again off in nowhere land. To be honest with you, when I started this report, I expected Stormy Daniels to be really high on the list, not off in an extremely distant third place. I knew Tera Patrick would rank higher but I truly had no idea Stormy Daniels would prove to be quite so unpopular with the Internet folks.

Wordtracker

Next we looked at WordTracker. Wordtracker periodically compiles a database of over 330 million search terms which is updated on a weekly basis. All search terms are collected from the major metacrawlers – Dogpile and Metacrawler. In short, it tells us how many times per day someone searches for a specified keyword.

  • Briana Banks 9,222
  • Stormy Daniels 4,310
  • Tera Patrick 14,015


Every week this data is updated. So it’s accurate as of a week ago! So we aren’t talking data that isn’t relevant. This kind of report shows very clearly that as of right now Stormy Daniels may be more popular than Lanny Barby but she’s nowhere near the popularity of stars like Tera Patrick or Briana Banks or even Tory Lane for that matter. In fact, Stormy Daniels isn’t as popular as her fellow contract girl Jesse Jane according to the most updated Wordtracker report.

Estibot Total Website Estimate

But let us keep going. Surely there is something out there that will back up the claims of others that Stormy Daniels is the best. Next I performed an automated valuation of their domain names. The value of their domain names were calcualted used a complicated and confidential method that uses a variety of data to come up with a figure of a round about value of their domain name.


It is a computerized system so it doesn’t realize that Tera Patrick is a popular porn star … it just knows the data that is stored on the keyword phrase Tera Patrick so in reality these domain names would be worth MUCH MUCH MUCH more. But using this system it basically takes how many times the keywords appear in google, how many poeple link to these pages, the page rank of a domain, the alexa rank, how many estimated uniue visitors per day each website gets, if you were to purchase these keywords using pay per click, how much each of those would cost you (per click), your OVT rating and your Wordtracker estimated searches per day. Using this data they get an estimate for each girl.

  • TeraPatrick.com is thought to be worth $500,000
  • BrianaBanks.com is thought to be worth $390,000
  • StormyDaniels.com is thought to be worth $130,000


So there we have it. Stormy Daniels may be super sexy and get some 2 second spots in some real movies but it doesn’t translate into the popularity that others are trying to make it to be. As much as I hate to say it, Tera Patrick has everyone beat when it comes to down right porn star fame.


For fun I ran reports on some of the real top starlets in the industry right now. These girls include Tera Patrick, Briana Banks, Jenna Haze, Jesse Jane, Stormy Daniels, Sunny Leone, Tory Lane, Savanna Samson, Lanny Barby, Eva Angelina and Amy Reid.

“As an immigrant who is thrilled to exercise her right to vote in a presidential election for the first time, I wanted to do what I could to get other young people to participate,” said Leone who only recently became an American citizen. “There’s no excuse not to register –DeclareYourself.com makes it so easy.”

The short video, available immediately at declareyourself.com and vivid.com, and soon at dozens of other video sharing websites, features Ms. Leone is, who is, in her words, a “firm believer in personal freedom.”

“The best way to exercise that freedom,” she says in the video, “is to vote.”

The video was filmed on the Los Angeles on the set of one of Ms. Leone’s upcoming films.

Sunny Leone likes her famous men

In January we can flash back to pictures that were showing up everywhere of Sunny Leone cozying up to Mind Freak Criss Angel. Although most wrote it off as a chance encounter and nothing beyond the few publicity shots were taking, rumors were abound by industry insiders that they were were getting pretty hot and heavy at a party later on.



Then the next thing you know you hear about Sunny Leone and Dave Navarro. I know that he’s been hanging out with Tera Patrick an unusual amount but it turns out it may not be Tera Patrick that he’s got a secret thing going on with. Two weeks ago he was spotted by an industry insider, a lesser named porn star who wishes us not to reveal her identity in fear of reprisal from Vivid with whom she desires to continue working with, but anyway, this little starlet tells us ….

Last week I seen Sunny Leone with Dave Navarro at this restaurants near where I just got finished shooting. They were so fucking high. It was crazy. They couldn’t keep their hands off each other. I don’t really keep up with who’s fucking who in celebrity circles but I admit I was quite surprised to see Sunny Leone with Dave Navarro. They just don’t seem on the surface like they would be a likely couple but I guess so. Well even if they aren’t together like that, they were sure fucking liking being together that day.


Then I see this little article over at AVN in which is tells how Tera Patrick is set to direct this new Vivid movie featuring all six Vivid girls; Briana Banks, Savanna Samson, Meggan Mallone, Hanna Hilton, Sunny Leone, Monique Alexander. The article says very clearly that Tera Patrick is the director (and co-starring in the movie) and has no mention of Dave Navarro working on the project. So what would a world famous rocker be doing spending his free time hanging out on the set of a movie he has nothing to do with? Sure it could be as AVN reported that he wanted to hang out with his friend Tera Patrick. Or could it be there is some truth to the rumors that he has a secret, yet very hot and heavy thing with Vivid Girl Sunny Leone?


Photo source: AVN. Shown in this photo are Dave Navarro, Monique Alexander just below him and Briana Banks to the right. Far off in the right corner you can see Vivid’s newest starlet, Meggan Mallone.


Here we have a picture of Sunny Leone with Dave Navarro together at Tommy Gunn’s Birthday Party on May 13, 2008 (from AVN). Although I should point out, the fine folks over at AVN sometimes call her Sierra Leone in some of the pictures. However in reality it is not “Sierra Leone” but instead SUNNY LEONE.

Sunny days for Project Cuddle?

Sunny LeoneWhat 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.

Sunny Leone comes home

Sunny Leone seems to be home from her trip to Oman, where she was working on the mainstream movie Pirates Blood, where she spent at least a few weeks on the set and seems to have “really enjoyed the experience”. However when she got home, she seems to have wasted no time getting back to work as a porn star. I guess she didn’t let the whole I got to work on a major movie, blind her like some starlets we know.

Sunny Leone

Although there is no official word on what movie she is about to start filming for Vivid this upcoming week, rumor has it that she will be performing in another movie with Matt Erickson. Although this next movie she is filming for Vivid is not expected to be a direct sequel, the chemistry of Sunny Leone and Matt Erickson from Sunny Loves Matt can pretty much guarantee those two will be paired off several times in the future.

 

Sunny Leone also released a new version of her Myspace page, added some new photos and some updates to her personal website since her return from India. Sunny Leone is one focused bitch. Some would say, despite all her mainstream success she seems to be more focused on her porno career than ever.
