I have always felt that January was about AVN and February was about Black History, so let’s tie up some worthwhile loose ends from this site and around the web.
I met (for the first time) O: The Power of Submission director Ernest Greene and Nina Hartley at, of all places, the Corruption party after the AVN show.
“Thanks for being a one-man cheering section for O,” Greene said. What can I say? Carmen looked good in that sweater.
Jesse Jane came under scrutiny for her thinness, and actually addressed it preemptively long before “skinny” pictures started getting published later in AEE week.
“I was really skinny last year,” she said. “I’m heavier now. Last year I was under a hundred pounds and today I’m 102. I work out and stuff before a movie, but I eat whatever I want, inluding steaks.”
“You ever eat at that place on Rt. 40 in Amarillo with the 72-ounce steak?” I asked the Oklahoma resident.
“No, but I hear it’s not all meat.”
I didn’t print that at the time because she didn’t look overly thin to me, plus I didn’t want to offend the Beef Council, one of this site’s sponsors.
In other contract star news – and these tidbits are unofficial insofar as no companies will be having their public relations department send out press releases about them – it is rumored that:
- Hustler and Joanna Angel have parted ways over a payment dispute. I’ve said it before: Thank God for Memphis Monroe
- Sophia Lynn will no longer represent Adam & Eve because “she didn’t show up to the convention” (either that or she didn’t show up to the convention because she was told not to). I’ve said it before: Thank God for Carmen Luvana
- Nikki Nine, though a solid perforMEr, is on shaky ground wiTh Hustler
- Jenna Loves Janine, even though Janine appears to be a viking
- Jasmine Byrne also did not show up for her signing duties, so she is no longer “J Ho“
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Miss Abby Ehmann in Las Vegas. Here she writes about lesser-attended but twice as fun AEE week parties on ErosZine.
I also saw Audacia Ray in regrettably short installments. The writer/director/performer also lauds the off the beaten track experience on Waking Vixen.
For shorter gasps even than Audacia’s, I caught glimpses of Jamye Waxman, who writes the site seX matters. A family wedding prevented her from staying until the bitter end, so that shows she is self-actualized.
To prove that I didn’t spend my week with fiercely attractive women only, check out P. Weasels’ account of the festivities on Gamelink.
My pals at G4TV have a fun video of the AVN red carpet. I was whispering porn data into the ear of better-looking-than-me host Zach Selwyn. Not shown is the several starlets in a row who didn’t remember being in the movies I’d said they’d been in. Ah well. I hardly remember working at TMZ anymore, either.
XBiz byproduct XFanz also covered the red carpet, and their video is here. XBiz president Alec Helmy hopes to establish February as XBiz month in the same way the adult industry associates January with AVN.
I will be speaking at next week’s XBiz Hollywood Forum‘s seminar on viral marketing, so you know it’s a quality establishment.
