Isabella Rosselini has made an instructive pornographic film about the insect world for the Sundance Channel called Green Porno, in which the whimsically batty and charming Blue Velvet and Fearless actress, former Lancome spokesmodel, and daughter of Ingrid Bergman shows you how bees do it (and other bugs, like the Praying Mantis). At no point [...]
Report: Purchases of "Gene Simmons" sex tape limited to people who already find Gene Simmons repugnant
The triumph of the “Gene Simmons” sex tape is that, even though the dude in the video doesn’t really look like the Kiss buffoon, people believe that Simmons would be delusional enough to release such an unflattering movie, so it might be him after all. See how it works? Simmons is meta all the way [...]
Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe: I don’t get it
Marilyn Monroe photographer Bert Stern has re-created Monroe’s final famous photoshoot with Lindsay Lohan. Why? The semi-nude series was released in New York Magazine 46 years after its inspiration, now known as “The Last Sitting,” appeared. In 1962, a vulnerable, playful, and perhaps drunk Monroe posed for a series of photographs at the Hotel Bel-Air. [...]
Pamela Peaks, others grace party
Montreal’s own Pamela Peaks, left, alighted on Hollywood’s Knitting Factory for a party in her honor Saturday. Basking in Peaks’ reflected glow are producer Reggie Durango, starlet Alexis Arquette, and Spunk’d director Justin Kane. I don’t know who took this picture. I’d bet that it was Our Lord Jesus Christ. All I know is that [...]

Law would make jailbird photos off limits to enquiring minds
L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca is supporting a State bill that would criminalize public employees’ profiting from the dissemination of material related to arrests, such as jailhouse photos of Paris Hilton. Fearing the proliferation of “checkbook journalism”, House Bill AB 920, written by Democratic Assemblywoman Julia Brownley of Santa Monica, would “make it a misdemeanor [...]
AVN award-winning musician checks into rehab
The composer Eddie Van Halen, who threw the best party I have ever attended as America’s Beloved Porn Journalist, has checked into rehab for alcoholism. After that party, it was either him or me who needed to dry out. Porn site TMZ.com reported this story of the former Jennifer James Films financier, who will be [...]
Vivid-halt
Vivid has announced it is delaying (or stopping altogether) the release of the Kim Kardashian sex tape, scheduled to be available this Wednesday. Vivid co-founder Steven Hirsch has always allowed a little wiggle room in press releases about the rights Vivid secured for the DVD (for an alleged $1 million), saying, “We remain very confident [...]
Wrangling a sex tape
One aspect of viral marketing that fascinates me is shame. While Kim Kardashian would have had to have signed a release in order that her sex tape with rapper/former boyfriend Ray J could be sold, she publicly distances herself from any involvement in the negotiations that ultimately resulted in Vivid’s purchase of the rights to [...]

The things I could perch on Nicole Austin’s ass
A creative dilemma I wrestle with daily is how to write this site in an ambiguous enough manner so that I never have to say “I would like to have sex with this person I’m writing about”. Extrapolate that to the greater porn world and you have an even bigger problem: doesn’t it all boil [...]
How many letters after D are there?
Were Joan and Melissa Rivers unavailable? Kathy Griffin will host this year’s GayVN Awards show in San Francisco. I don’t know which entity does the bigger disservice to the other. Also: does this make me a bitch? See also: Kathy Griffin to host 2007 GayVN Awards show
Mary Carey: Do cameras make us stupid?
Have no doubt that Mary Carey is no Meredith Vieira – or even Ann Coulter – when expressing her views on camera. But that people feel the need to waste their time pointing out the obvious after posts like this one makes me wonder who she has hurt, and/or if her detractors could be expected [...]
SugarDVD enters friend-of-celebrity sex tape market
SugarDVD, the adult rental e-tailer that last year consoled Tori Spelling with an offer of free porn for life, has offered to pay $2 million for the rights to distribute the sex tape being shopped around by Kim Kardashian. Q. Grams, Who is Kim Kardashian?A. She is Paris Hilton’s best friend, apparently.Q. Why is that [...]

Caprica Six gets a ten
Tricia Helfer, who plays one of those new model skinjob Cylons on “Battlestar Galactica”, has boldly gone where Grace Park and Katee Sackhoff should follow in disrobing for Playboy. Will Playboy go after all of that ragtag, fugitive fleet on their combined quest: a shining planet known as Earth? All I can say is that [...]
Mariah Carey marks eventual porn territory
Glitter star and Tommy Mottola ex Mariah Carey plans to fight Boobsville Sorority Girls principal and perennial California gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey’s bid to trademark her nom de porn. “I think (Mariah’s) being silly,” Mary Carey told Reuters of the five-octave belter’s concerns over consumer confusion of the two. While some have wondered why Mariah [...]
Kendra Jade denies bringing her ass
“I’m in a committed relationship,” replied Kendra Jade to Star Magazine’s inquiry about a perhaps-ongoing fling with Kevin Federline. The tryst allegedly pre-dates Britney Spears’ filing for divorce. I often call up Star Magazine to tell them I am in a committed relationship and, frankly, I think they’re getting tired of my telling them about [...]
