TMZ posted pictures of Jenna Haze enjoying a Hawaiian vacation in a teeny bikini:



Of course, they couldn’t post pictures of a porn star without a couple of snarky denigrating comments…

Stephanie Swift’s Cancer Has Spread

Fans wanting to send Stephanie their words of support are encouraged to post them on the Love to Stephanie guestbook. Fans wanting to offer financial support can get details here.

Roxy Jezel Announces Her Retirement
According to L.A. Direct Models, Roxy has quit porn to pursue schooling and a new career. After almost seven years in porn, she’s leaving the business on good terms. In the statement by L.A. Direct, Roxy is quoted as saying, “I had the best fucking years of my life in porn and im glad im leaving on a HIGH note!!” She’ll certainly be missed, but I wish her all the best.

Battery Charge Against Stormy Daniels Dropped
The battery charge that resulted from her July 25th arrest for hitting her husband in the head with her fists during an argument has been dropped by Florida prosecutors. According to the prosecutor’s office, it was not clear enough who was the aggressor in the violence and her husband waived prosecution. The effect the incident will have on her quest for a Senate seat is not yet clear.

Raylene’s Dirty Work, the 90’s star’s first movie in 8 years releases tomorrow and I know that a at least a few of you will be interested to see how it turns out – especially since she’s going right into anal and boy/boy/girl right out of the gate (as well as, perhaps, rimming in Tom Byron’s Seasoned Players Meets Asseaters Unanimous). Not to mention that based simply on the box cover, she’s still looking pretty good.

I’ll admit that I didn’t start watching porn in earnest until the year Raylene retired, so I didn’t really get a chance to appreciate her talents at the time. I am curious, though, how many of you plan to check this movie out.

She’s a very popular star, but when I started in the business, she didn’t have a disembodied UR3 Pussy and Ass toy like Jenteal or Nikki Tyler, so I never thought to check out her movies. (Yes, she does have a doll, but c’mon…) If this comeback is successful, she may yet have her ladybits molded in realistic skin rubber.

So tell me – do you dig Raylene? Are you looking forward to her return to porn? Why or why not? If you have a favorite movie, feel free to make recommendations for me (and your fellow readers) to check out.

Stormy Daniels was arrested Saturday, July 25th and charged with Battery against her husband, Mike Moz, an industry publicist. She posted $1,000 bond. The image below is Stormy Daniels’ arrest report.



Additionally, Brian Welsh, Stormy’s political adviser and founder of DraftStormy.com awoke yesterday morning to find that his car had been bombed. He’s not sure whether it was connected to Stormy’s campaign to unseat Louisiana senator David Vitter.

Below is the news coverage of the bombing.



I very seriously condemn any domestic violence, regardless of who the batterer is. Stormy has yet to make a statement about the incident, so all we have to go on is the police charge report at this point.

And obviously, the bombing of Mr. Welsh’s car is despicable. A surveillance camera caught the entire crime on video and it’s already been uploaded to YouTube. Let’s hope the perpetrator is caught.

UPDATE: The Smoking Gun has the full police report from the night Stormy Daniels was arrested. Evidently, she was angry about the way her husband’s father did her laundry and then found out that several bills had gone unpaid. At some point during the fight, she hit her husband in the head, broke things and threw their wedding album. He did not hit her back.

Most folks seem to believe the stereotype about porn stars’ intelligence (or lack thereof), but in reality, plenty of our nastiest performers have college educations. Do you know who they are?

In the quiz below, you’ll be shown 10 stars. Choose yes if you think they graduated from college, no if they haven’t. Then let me know how you did in the comments!

I had the chance to interview Belladonna at the Adult Entertainment Expo in 2009. If you love her movies, you’ll be glad to hear that she’s even more charming, beautiful and intelligent in person. Even I will admit that I was a little starstruck by her.

Bella and I talked about her herpes scare, her upcoming autobiography, how she feels about the “fucked up” things she did when she was younger, rape fantasies and more. Read on for the full interview.

Alison: I actually heard that you were working on an autobiography…

Belladonna: I am, actually, yes. [laughs] It was one of those things I didn’t want to do for a long time because I thought, I don’t want to just write a book about, for example, when I read Jenna’s book, it was like I thought there was going to be so much more in there, you know? And I don’t want to leave anything out. So it might become – I don’t even know if this exists – an autobiography in different volumes, yes, because I think there needs to be a certain volume for each part of my life.

Alison: Sure, I mean, and you’re not dead, so you’ve got a lot left to go.

Belladonna: Right. [laughs] Is it weird doing an autobiography at 27?

Alison: I don’t think so. You’ve lived what seems to me to be a pretty exciting life.

Belladonna: Really, my age should be sixty, because I’ve done it all. And I did it at a young age, so maybe that makes up for it.

Alison: Do you think that having done it so young, are there things you would go back and redo?

Belladonna: Yes and no, because you think “Oh, you know, I would’ve done it differently.” But would I be the same person I am today? And I don’t want to not be the same person I am today, so no, I guess.

In more ways than one, Joanna Angel isn’t your average porn star. Instead of simply aspiring to get a lot of tattoos, dye her hair pink and make money having sex on camera, Joanna decided to go into business for herself and became not just a starlet, but a director and CEO as well.

While getting her degree in Engligh Literature at Rutgers University, she decided to start her own website, BurningAngel.com, and has remained at the helm of the company for over 7 years of hot alt-porn goodness. Suicide Girls may have done it first, but Burning Angel did it better.

Alison: What do you think of the term “alt-porn”? Does it describe what you do, or do you think it’s a term reserved for that guy who makes “really awful, pretentious pornos”?

Joanna: LOL hahahaha this made me smile =)

I think the term alt-porn was a very positive term- then that guy turned it into something very ugly- but now I think it is become a good term again. I think what alt porn really means- is porn that reflects the alternative culture- with a community. A lot of people join BurningAngel and become friends with one another- and the girls, become friends with each other- its more than just a quick way to make money for the girls and it’s more than just something to jerk off to and then hide for the members. Does that make sense?

I’m currently on vacation in Orlando, but I saw this link on Luke is Back and I thought you guys might get a small kick out of seeing a few porn stars when they were young and innocent. From Hustlerworld:

Belladonna


Lexi Belle


Ron Jeremy


Weren’t they just cute as buttons (except Ron)? The Hustler post has a few more girls, so if you found this entertaining, go ahead over there and check it out.

If you’re a fan of reality shows, you have two new web-based series to look forward to this summer: Mommy XXX and Sin City Mom, starring Demi Delia and Sunset Thomas, respectively. From what I can tell, both shows have the exact same premise: a behind-the-scenes look at the personal and professional life of a pornstar who also happens to be a mom.

Having seen an episode of Mommy XXX already, I can say that it seems interesting enough. The first show revolves around Demi Delia’s eleventh (!!!) breast augmentation and features some well-known stars who help her through her surgery. A decent amount of time is devoted to her kids’ reactions to their mom’s decision to get yet another new pair of boobs (spoiler: they’re not particularly thrilled). Thanks to the magic of the internet, you can watch that episode right here:

Sunset’s show hasn’t premiered yet (it starts July 9th), but she’s released a trailer that gives you an idea of what to expect from the show. It’s pretty much the same deal, except Sunset Thomas is a far more popular star than Demi Delia and I think that’ll be a draw for some folks.

Both shows look pretty interesting, so I’ll probably end up watching them both. But then, I’m a trashy reality tv junkie…

As many of you are likely already aware, a case of HIV was reported in an active performer in the adult industry. I’ve been following the news very closely but have waited until now to write about it so as not to make hasty proclamations before the real story is known.

Now that nearly a week has passed, I’m comfortable giving a rundown of what most likely happened and what I think about it. Today’s post will go over the sequence of events that have transpired over the last week. In a subsequent post, I’ll talk about why I think the way porn performers’ health is protected needs a well-thought-out overhaul.

What Happened

The news was first made public on an industry message board by actress/producer Nina Vain. Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation (AIM) was contacted by several people to confirm or deny the report of a positive HIV test and all were initially told that it was untrue (including Peter Romero, an early and vocal supporter of AIM). Only after the outcry reached a critical mass did AIM finally admit that it was true. In a statement, AIM founder and former performer Sharon Mitchell said that it was their policy not to make the news public because it was “not a major event.”

Almost immediately after AIM publicly confirmed the story, it was picked up by the LA Times. The newspaper contacted the LA Dept of Health and broke the news that 22 individuals have tested positive for HIV at AIM since 2004 – approximately 18 more than most people in the industry were aware of. This caused a firestorm of controversy in industry circles as well as the mainstream press.

If AIM is to be believed (and no factual evidence has contradicted their story so far), of that twenty-two,

• One is Patient Zero who tested positive on June 6th
• Four were straight performers who became infected in the outbreak in 2004
• One was a transsexual performer who tested positive in 2004
• Ten were male performers who have sex with other men (Gay talent is not tested because they are generally assumed to have the disease. This is why the gay industry uses condoms in 99% of their movies.)
• Six were people receiving their first AIM test so that they could enter the adult industry

AIM also asserts that it did not make any mistakes in giving MILF/Patient Zero her results. Their timeline is:

• April 19: Patient Zero receives her first HIV test at AIM. The test is negative.
• June 4: Patient Zero is tested at AIM again. No results are given on this date.
• June 5: Patient Zero performs in a boy/girl scene.
• June 6: AIM notifies Patient Zero that she has tested positive for HIV.

This means that Patient Zero had gone 36 days without a test and was allowed to work. The standard period between tests is 30 days. It’s alleged that the director who hired her despite knowing that her test was 36 days old was Tom Moore, aka Tranny Dundee. The identity of Patient Zero and the two males she has had sexual contact with since June 4 is still unknown and all are under voluntary sexual quarantine.

Patient Zero is said to have performed in three scenes between her first and second test and although it is technically possible that one of those performers either exposed her or was exposed by her to HIV, they are not being quarantined at this time.

At the present time, both critics and supporters of the industry are calling for change. Some in the form of different testing regimes, others supporting mandatory condom use. The public reaction from most performers and directors has been relatively muted, with most pointing out that there are risks inherent in the job that a condom requirement may only exacerbate.

Stay tuned for part two of this series on HIV in the industry and what changes I think need to be made for the protection of the performers and of the business overall.
