Jenna Jameson is an Obama Girl Author: Ryan Rayzer

On her Myspace page Jenna Jameson has decided to throw her support behind Presidential candidate Barak Obama. Besides posting a banner on her page and inviting her legions of fans to share it with their friends, she has also posted a bulletin which simply reads “History will be made this November“.   This is quite true, no matter who wins really.  Either we will have the first ever black President of the United States or the first ever female Vice President of the United States.  In the end we are living in historically notable times and Porn Star (who will not spread her legs for this industry again) Jenna Jameson wants you to note that she’s an Obama Girl.

Digital Playground has been posting a series of clips from the set of their new Pirates movie. This one in particular is rather good. It’s a chat with Evan Stone talking about how to get into porn and how you suck and fuck if you don’t just have to see it for yourself. Damn funny shit. “Shave your head, have a big cock” Good shit. Good shit. Jesse Jane talks in it too and after their segment, it jumps into one with Steven St. Croix and Katsuni. I didn’t fucking know that boy was even around still. Damn.


I was reading a story by Kayden Kross over at Mike South which talked about something called a Myspace fuck raffel.  Long story short, you buy a ticket for a chance to win, which the prize is you get to do a scene with a porn star.  Kayden Kross was very clear in that she in no way had anything to do with this website or these people and it was a lie that her name was on the prize list.

Fuck Raffle is a Fraud

Kayden blogs : A few months ago I got a number of emails asking if I was in the sex raffle through myspace. I said something to the tune of fuck no. Then yesterday I got two emails about it. Apparently I’m on the list (http://www.fuckraffle.net/?page_id=6). Not cool. Let this first be my absolute denial of any and all involvement in the thing. Mine was not the only name I was surprised to see on the list though. Jesse Jane? I can’t honestly see Digital Playground letting that happen. So obviously the people running the site have no intention of actually following through on their end of the raffle. Maybe it’s an obtuse ploy to just direct traffic to their site or gain media attention for some other half baked idea? I don’t know. Either way it’s fucked up.


I decided to check out this little scam of a website and just like I thought, it was in fact a scam.



Tawny Roberts?  Lanny Barby?  I don’t think so.  Tawny Roberts hasn’t been active since 2005 and Lanny Barby is on leave for at least the last few months and even then, she is still under contract with Vivid so that would legally prevent her from doing any sex scenes with anyone.  Beyond that, she isn’t even in the country right now and my sources say nor does she have plans to be any time soon.


Still not convinced that it’s a fraud?


Aria Giovanni NEVER does sex scenes with anyone.  She is a nude model, not a porn star.  Any Aria Giovanni fan can tell you that.


Bree Olson is under contract with Adam and Eve and also can’t perform on camera with other people due to the restrictions of her contract.  It’s kind of the point of being “exclusive” with a company.


Jesse Jane?  Don’t think so.  A representative from Digital Playground said aboslutely no way, is Jesse Jane or Digital Playground involved in any such thing.


Dasha?  Big no on this one.  Dasha retired years ago, married and moved to Europe.


The MySpace Fuck Raffle is a Fraud


Don’t give these dumb asses any money.  Don’t buy any tickets from them.  Don’t be stupid.

TMZ is reporting that Sky Lopez did a sex tape with Hobie from Baywatch.   WHO?  Ya my same thoughts.  Turns out that Hobie Buchannon is a character from the TV series Baywatch (yes the Pamela Anderson Baywatch).  Hobie was the son of the lifeguard Mitch Buchannon, who was played by none other than David Hasselhoff.  Oh ya, THE HOFF!  The guy who played the character Hobie’s name is Jeremy Jackson and he played it from 1991 to 1999 and in the 2003 Baywatch reunion movie but beyond that hasn’t really done dick.


Sky Lopez in Debbie Does New Orleans

From TMZ : Think of all the people from “Baywatch” you wish had a sex tape. Now think of Jeremy Jackson.


Yes, the kid who played The Hoff’s son is all grown up — literally. There’s a sex tape being shopped around town starring Jackson and top Vivid porn star Sky Lopez.


We’re told the tape is about 45 minutes in length, but so far — no buyers.


We just got this statement from Jeremy: “Listen, this video was made by my best friend. Between me and a casual sex partner who just so happened to be a former porn star. I was later physically threatened if I didn’t turn the DVD over to some drug addicted thugs.


“They said, ‘Sky wanted it back and didn’t want to ever be seen as a porn star, that she had turned to God and was changing her life.’ So I gave it up for HER and so they would not beat me up and ‘make my life hell’ as they had threatened. I was blackmailed. This private recording becoming public kinda sucks. But I thought people out there should know the truth and how far some people will go to make a quick buck.”


So they claim Sky Lopez is a top Vivid girl? LOL WTF are they smoking?  She hasn’t been with Vivid in so many years I can’t even count and even when she was with Vivid she was far from “top”.  She did to Where The Boys Aren’t 12 with all the other Vivid Girls, and Blue Monday with Dasha.   But seriously WTF else has she done other than be a cracked out whore, who then decided to be a rapper and renamed herself “Spring Break” who then decided she found god but not before getting arrested and going to jail for god only knows what.


A top Vivid girl?  I think not!  More like a slutty, crack whore

Tustin, California - Adult Entertainment Capital, Inc. [adultentertainmentcapital.com] launches the first publicly traded and licensed investment capital option for the adult industry. Investment opportunities are offered for all types of adult oriented businesses, from gentlemen’s clubs to lifestyle resorts, content and emerging technology platforms.



Interested investors and business owners may contact Adult Entertainment Capital, Inc. at (949)885-7399 or by email to info@adultentertainmentcapital.com.

President and CEO Milton “Todd” Ault III sees the adult industry as a market that has suffered from the lack of strong financial investment opportunities, both from licensed capital providers and publicly traded stock. Adult Entertainment Capital, Inc. plans to meet that need by offering business development funds, financial management and full or partial buyout options to progressive adult oriented companies across all stages of the business cycle.


Ault explains the way it works. “We can take a private company and fund them with publicly traded capital reserves, so they maintain their private status, and still have the ability to grow or diversify their business through our investment. For investors, they can go directly to their personal broker, like Charles Schwab, and purchase shares in the adult market through Adult Entertainment Capital’s publicly traded stock. If they want to do their trading online, they can do that as well. For substantial private investment funds, Adult Entertainment Capital, Inc. can act as a broker for investments and mergers, while giving the private parties the security of expert, regulated and licensed, financial and business management, that you just don’t get when friends and family loan you venture capital.”


Adult Entertainment Capital, Inc. is interested in all types of adult oriented industries. A growing market is arising for lifestyle services, including resorts tailored for swingers’. Gentlemen’s clubs, adult novelty businesses and internet and mobile delivery of adult entertainment are also showing growth and diversification potential that will benefit from the type of financial services Adult Entertainment Capital, Inc. can deliver.

What the fuck is Booble? Author: Ryan Rayzer

You know you hear all this shit lately about Booble this, Booble that, Tera Patrick going to donate any winnings from Booble to Charity.  Blah blah blah.  A mother doesn’t go by that XBIZ or AVN isn’t posting about Booble and some months you have to hear about it more than once.


So I decided to check out what Booble is. First thing I noticed is that it is a search engine.  Oh I get it now, it’s meant to be like Google with boobies.  HA. Ha.


Okay, I like the idea so far.  I mean the Google lawyers will probably pounce all over their asses for trademark violations if they ever get to big but whatever, that’s for lawyers to figure out.


What I noticed more than anything about their website is how many ads there are.  Damn, that’s a lot of ads.  I noticed on the front page alone, 8 actual ads and 12 text link type ads.  Then I realized oh wait, their movie of the week which goes up and down half the front page is also an ad.  Holy shit these guys are tacky about ad placement but what the fuck ever.


So I take a look at their Booble girl of the month.  I search for Tera Patrick and you know what I get? Two paid listings, one of her official site and the other is for pornstar.com.  Hey at least they are actually about Tera Patrick so that’s at least something.


Next I searched for Hanna Hilton.  She was their Booble girl for last month.  I get 12 listings.  HOLY SHIT 12!! Nice!  Oh wait … one of the 12 listings actually have anything to do with Hanna Hilton.  But hey, I did get four more ads to look at, on top of the 12 paid listings - which had nothing to do with Hanna Hilton.


So let me get this straight.  They are and I quote …

Booble: the best adult porn search engine and sex search directory online


Yet they have no listings for Hanna Hilton, the newest Vivid girl, who might I add THEY selected as their gilr of the month.  You are telling me they couldn’t have bothered to at least go add in some Hanna Hilton relevant results with the dumb fuckers picked her as their girl of the month?  Look at the image below and tell me what the fuck they have to do with Hanna Hilton?



Booble is such a great idea and gets a lot of press coverage so it’s to bad these stupid fuckers can’t seem to get it right.  PEOPLE USE A SEARCH ENGINE FOR RELEVANT RESULTS DUMB ASSES, not to view your stupid fucking ads.

Now here is where the story gets interesting.  Tera Patrick decided she would give away her $5,000 prize money if she was elected as the Booble Girl of the Year.  She named some charity and all the regular news sources ran with it.  Sources said that until this publicity stunt Tera Patrick with in 2nd or 3rd place.  Booble placed Tera Patrick on the front page in conjunction with all the industry news sources disucssing it and Tera Patrick moved up to the #1 spot.

Then we hear from another person in the running and her name is Vicky Vette.  Here is how the whole thing went down (from Vicky Vette’s blog)

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PORN INDUSTRY FROM VICKY VETTE

I post this open letter to document what is happening. Earlier today, with your help, I began to pull away slowly but surely in votes in the Booble competition. I ran errands this afternoon for a couple of hours. On my return, I was faced with the ‘big news’ - TP on the front page of the industry press! Votes for charity! Here is some of the press….

http://avn.com/performer/articles/31996.html

MY RESPONSE
Since the porn press could not hold back this ‘crucial news’ for me, I am issuing the following open letter to the porn industry on the internet, the way I do these days…… bear with it, it is longwinded….. but it speaks my mind. More in the next blog.

“I, Vicky Vette release the following statement regarding Tera Patrick’s charity pledge. I challenge ‘journalists’ to print it unedited since I will be putting it up in all the places I frequent in the new real world of adult - the internet. It is going to get read anyway. I know how to get the word out even if you don’t print it.

I preface this statement by saying that charity is a very important part of life. Doing charity is good for the heart and good for the soul. If the porn industry ever wanted to get behind my charity work, they could have taken the time to ask me about it before splashing the pages of the industry magazines with Tera’s charity pledge without even giving me a chance to respond. I’ve been doing it for years. I am booked for the AIDS Walk again in Atlanta October 19, 2008 and I could use the press help for the charity’s sake, not to win Booble. Charity work should be done for the right reasons – not just for press.

I believe in actions, not press releases seeking votes when you are in 2nd place with 3 days to go in a competition. Funny how she never mentioned her intentions while she was in the lead? So we have a Tera Patrick/Booble press release with a ‘every vote is a vote for charity’ message. I ask the porn press who all have my telephone number (which has not changed in 5 years) the following questions:

1. Why did the porn press not ask why the charity in question is promoting a card playing event that is over one year old and the ticket page http://www.babefoundation.com/ticketstopokertourney.html directs you to a dead end? If the charity doesn’t have the funds to update their website, and needs help, maybe we should all get involved?

2. What happened to my press release I sent you over a week ago about being in Booble?

3. What happened to my press release about Nina Hartley joining forces with me with her website NinaHartley.com that you got yesterday?

4. Why was I not given the courtesy of an emailed copy of the ‘charity for votes press release’ while it was being prepared?

5. Why did AVN and XBiz, publications I have done stories with before, done interviews for, and always tried to help out, run with a story while I was out for an afternoon doing errands? Quote: “Vicky Vette was not available for comment?” Au Contraire! I have nothing but comments! The press release was posted on xbiz and the once-weekly email sent to the subscribers only hours after they sent me the perfunctory email. I wonder when it was actually thought of and drafted? Not available for comments! What a joke - call me – I’ll give you comments! Gee now there won’t be another newsletter email until after the contest is over. Coincidence?

6. Why not run with a story for the benefit of Nina Hartley a true veteran and staunch supporter of the industry and freedom of speech –who is a legend in her own time?

WHY is the question - my answer you will not like. Perhaps getting press for the sake of press - press because second is not good enough.

This competition is not about Tera Patrick, who is incredibly beautiful by the way. Her boobs are awesome and deserve votes. Some in the porn industry just said to me on Monday that it was incredible I was making a resurgence and that he thought I retired from the world of porn. Incredible. Nothing could be further from the truth and I have news for the world of porn. I flourished ‘under the radar’ and did things some stars don’t seem to like to do - get my hands ‘dirty’ interacting with the fans. For two years I spent time on the internet and learning it. I may not have the global fan base of Tera Patrick by virtue of the reach of DVD sales in general, but I developed ‘the people’s vote’. I stopped doing ‘box cover movies’ to be a trendsetter in the business. It does not take rocket science to see that DVD sales and store sales of DVD’s are way down. People are going in droves to buy their adult content online and they are interacting in ways that the industry never anticipated and frankly do not like. The first thing today’s “stars” do is hire a publicist/assistant to deal with all that ‘horrible’ mail in their inbox.

Want to know what a Vicky Vette day looks like? Opening email, going through Myspace, Facebook, Yahoo, and social networks, talking to the people who write, and above all else being interactive with as many people as possible - yes grunting it out. Just compare my myspace page http://www.myspace.com/vickyvette to Tera’s myspace page. See all the comments from the folks on the page? I may not have as many ‘fans’, but I have cultivated ‘friends’. Welcome to social networking in the 21st century porn industry - you don’t like it, but it is here. Ask the fans on Facebook who have had instant message chats with Vicky Vette at 1.00 in the morning…. I chat, I interact, I do my best to respond, and I do it daily and weekly. I am not ‘above’ doing camshows weekly, week in week out. For what is is worth I may be one of the first ‘major’ (whatever that means) pornstars to jump the DVD Titanic ship and interact with fans to this extent. The porn industry is fooling itself if it thinks it can keep packaging up pornstars and throwing them on boxcovers. Fans expect more and they should get more. We are not ’stars’ - we are lucky to have people buying porn with all the free porn being given away.

So who has been voting for me? Who has been texting their friends http://www.vote4vette.com (my booble vote link) all over the world? It is the fans I speak to and who have been speaking to on a daily basis, the person in Switzerland who instant messages me out of the blue, or the fan in Denmark who send me a note on Myspace saying ‘I don’t expect a response but….’ Don’t believe that the internet is working for me? Take a look at the hits on my website….. my site is now going to pass Tera Patrick’s site for popularity - not bragging, just a fact. While the porn world was sleeping I was imming, texting, messaging, and bulletining my fans all over the world, one by one, vote by vote. Those are the people who are voting, those are the very people who buy the dvd’s that you have been ignoring, those are the people going to the free sites you despise, and the people who are now going in droves to download rather than hang out at the local DVD store.

If you vote for Tera because of her pledge to charity… then so be it. I expected to lose when this started and I expected the all powerful adult press to give the adult superstar a leg up if she needed it. Second would still be awesome. Win or lose, I will be doing what it did before the contest started - hanging with the fans, running my sites, concentrating on the future of adult, and promoting all over the internet, me, and my boobles and one click at a time.

See you all at the AID’s walk guys - hope you have the balls to print this word for word. Vicky”

In the end Booble selected Vicky Vette as the winner.

In a Labor Day Battle Royale of the Boobs, MILF extraordinaire Vicky Vette edged out super-babe and porn superstar Tera Patrick to win the coveted crown of Booble Girl of the Year!

Found an article today that was interesting.  Thought I would share it with you.  It’s about strippers that well, aren’t really strippers.  Apparently Sexxxercise is naughty business! It gives YOU GOT GIRL and SHAKE THAT ASS a whole new meaning.

PITTSBURGH — A woman has sued a town that refused to allow her to open a dance studio that featured pole-dancing exercise classes on the grounds it was a sexually oriented business.


Adams Township officials violated Stephanie Babines’ right to free expression by denying her an occupancy permit, the American Civil Liberties Union claims in a federal lawsuit filed Thursday in Pittsburgh.


Although Babines’ classes include pole-dancing, power lap dance, strip tease and “SeXXXercise,” they are all taught and performed fully clothed, the lawsuit states. Men can’t take the classes, and no spectators are allowed.


“This is not a strip joint or gentleman’s club,” Babines said in a statement.


Township code enforcement officer Gary Peaco said he couldn’t comment on pending litigation. Township solicitor Charles Flach did not return a call seeking comment Thursday.


Babines alleges “the small-town municipal officials do not approve of the type of dance she teaches. They believe it is ‘provocative,’ full of sexual ‘innuendo,’ and too dangerous for their township.”


Babines wants a judge to rule that barring a dance studio that doesn’t involve nudity violates the First Amendment.


She teaches pole dancing in a Cranberry Township studio and private homes and sought to expand with an Adams Township studio, which she said she spent about $10,000 renovating.


In March, Peaco told Babines that her occupancy permit was denied because he received information that would classify her business as an “adult business” and also because of information in her advertising and Web site.


At an appeal hearing in May, Peaco testified he didn’t need to interview Babines because her Web site’s “pink-and-black color scheme … and the high-heeled shoe in her logo” indicated to him she planned to run a sexually oriented business, the lawsuit states.

I reported earlier this week that new Vivid girl Meggan Mallone’s Myspace page got deleted. We are still unable to find out what the fuck is up with that however are happy to report that AVN spotted Meggan Mallone ago at the Storetica 2008 convention with fellow Vivid girl Nikki Jayne signing autograps at the Vivid booth.  Oddly enough however, out of the 100 posted photos from AVN of the event, several were of Nikki Jayne, none were of Meggan Mallone.

I’m glad to hear she is still around.  I can honestly say she has to be one of the hottest chicks in the biz right now.

Night Trips 2009 Author: Ryan Rayzer

20 years ago legendary director Andrew Blake released his now infamous movie, Night Trips.  The next year it won the AVN award for Best Cinematography, Best Editing - Video, and Best Film.  By all accounts it was a great movie.  An AVN reviewer had this to say about the original Night Trips movie …

A sexual mood piece with beautiful visuals, luscious sex, production values and a career-topping performance by Tori Welles, Night Trips was produced right before technology went wild. The viewer does not suffer from the manic editing that many of today’s MTV-weaned directors thrive on. Rather, Night Trips works on a more subdued level, with erotic scenes building and creating atmosphere, while looking beautiful.


One of the best and most important adult films of all time. Night Trips has been released on DVD at a welcome period. Though the add-ons are minimal (just cast lists, chapter indexing and the basic stuff), this is a great movie that looks better than it ever could on videotape. This is a film that could prompt consumers to actually go out a buy a DVD player. Stock in depth for perpetual sales.

Night Trips 2009

Well much time has passed since then.  Some 20 years later, how can Andrew Blake possibly top that?  I guess we will soon find out because he is remaking the movie and it is due out next year.    The new Night Trips 2009 will feature mostly girl/boy scenes similar to the original film. Blake hopes to set a new standard of eroticism in his new film, raising the bar of sexually explicit film making.


Andrew Blake has chosen exotic Brazilian performer Paola Rey to star in the role, originally portrayed by adult film actress Tori Wells for Night Trips 2009.


Paola Rey

Paola Rey stars in Night Trips 2009


“Paola has the beauty and sexuality necessary to portray my initial vision of Night Trips, but up-dated to 2009″, Blake said, while sipping drinks with his star at a cafe near his Venice Beach studio.


Blake continues. “I started a trend back then, giving a lot of companies creative ideas that have continued to this day. In an industry that has left film behind in favor of video production, I started shooting on film and will continue to shoot on film for years to come. Shooting film gives the images a ‘one step removed’ quality that can’t be duplicated in HD video. Remember that film is the original 100+ year old high definition media.”


Paola Rey is excited at the opportunity to shoot for Andrew Blake. “This project is ground breaking - a phenomenon. He is a visionary…an artist. I learned from Andrew that porn is not all about being filthy and nasty, but the subtle ability to turn someone on.”
