The Beverly Hilton has, according to sources, reneged on a deal to host this Saturday’s Temptation Awards, a Canadian celebration of porn (or pourn).
Unofficial word is the ceremony and dinner will now be held at the Ritz-Carlton Huntington in Pasadena, which looks a little like the Overlook and is therefore impressive.
“Apparently the Beverly Hilton did not like all of the attention they were getting and pulled out at the last minute,” reported a sponsor, who added that lawyers were now involved.
Inquiries to the Beverly Hilton and Temptation reps were not immediately returned. The Temptation Awards site, as of this writing, still lists the Beverly Hilton as Saturday’s venue.
Since we’ve changed the venue from uptight Beverly Hills to Pasadena, can we perhaps get rid of the black tie restriction? It’s 400 fucking degrees out.

Gram-master you will be happy to learn that the entire event is in the wonderful air conditioned elegance of the Ritz. After a pre-show cocktail in the reception area all will feel wonderful!
