Video: Belladonna on Condoms in Porn

alison hart — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:44:04 +0000

After all the debates and hand-wringing, L.A. County has announced that it can not and will not enforce mandatory condom use in porn production in California. According to the Chief of the county’s Public Health Department, it would just be too difficult and expensive to try to police an industry that’s so fragmented. Public Health officials passed the buck to the state legislature, but as the L.A. Times notes, “not a single California lawmaker has been willing to sponsor such legislation.”

While interviewing Belladonna at the Adult Entertainment Expo, I asked her what she thought about the idea of condom mandates and her answer captured the ambivalence many performers and producers feel about the topic.

Belladonna Interview at AEE 2010

Lovely as always, Belladonna talks to me about first impressions, how she chooses scene partners, what she does in her free time, and more.

AEE Day 1 Recap

alison hart — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 02:46:20 +0000

I learned a few things today. Creepy fans follow Sophie Dee into stores and peek out at her from behind shelves. Ashley Fires likes pretend to be a fembot and to have her toes sucked (though perhaps not at the same time). Asa Akira has one good and one evil Puggle.

I also learned that porn is in worse shape than I thought. In comparison to years past, this show is kind of tiny. People talked a lot last year about the show seeming smaller than years past, but I didn’t think it was all that noticeable. I almost couldn’t believe how few booths (and people) there are this year.

That said, I’m still having a great show. Joanna Angel is a spunky little cutie. Ashley Fires is the friendliest porn star in the universe. Sophie Dee’s got extremely squishy boobs and some serious junk in the trunk. Bobbi Starr is a beautiful and empowered lady. Asa Akira is really fun and totally gorgeous. And Belladonna remains the apple of my eye.

I only have a few photos up on Flickr, but I was pretty busy talking to beautiful women all day. I hope you understand.

Tomorrow will be even busier because I’ll be interviewing Digital Playground’s entire stable of contract stars including my personal faves Jesse Jane and Katsuni. I’ve also got Angela Summers, Kelly Divine, and Tarra White on the schedule. Should be fun. I’ll keep you posted!

Rocco Gets Rough with Nikki Benz and She Likes It

alison hart — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 23:01:07 +0000

Nikki Benz posted a blog entry today about her experience doing a scene with Rocco Siffredi. Well-known for being very domineering and rough, Nikki was nervous going in:

I shot with Rocco Siffredi today, also known as “The Italian Stallion”. I was warned about him being really hardcore with the girls he works with. I’m not gonna lie, I was a little nervous working with him but I know what a big name he is in the industry and the fact that he came back as male talent after a 6 year hiatus made me want to do this scene really bad!

I may be wrong about this, but I’m pretty sure Rocco has done the occasional movie since 2003. Regardless, Rocco’s reputation seems to precede him wherever he goes. Some girls love him and some hate him.

Belladonna, for example, loves working with Rocco. She’s a pretty rough-and-tumble performer and she likes what I can only call his mystique. I’ve never met Rocco, but I’ve seen him at the AVN show a few times and he’s definitely a confident guy.

On the other side, you have Janine. A few years ago, she did a scene with Rocco in the movie Emperor. According to Janine, Rocco violated her trust (and her desire to remain un-pregnant) by cutting the end off of the condom they were using when she expressly told him not to because she wasn’t on birth control.

Either way, it sounds like Nikki had a good time:

It was a pretty intense scene. I came home with both of my breasts bruised up. Let’s just say, it’s the roughest a male performer has ever gotten with me in a scene. I really liked it!! Call me a freak, but I’ve never done a scene like this and I was kinda into it. Rocco was super nice though, he made sure that I was comfortable with everything we were doing. We definitely rocked the fuck out of this scene!

Update: As it turns out, Rocco may be a tax evader. Why do porn people always do this?

Belladonna Interview

alison hart — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 20:36:28 +0000

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.

Alison: So you’re pretty happy with where you are right now?

Belladonna: There’s times where I’m like, “I’m glad I did all that fucked up stuff when I was young because I realize how great it is to not be in that type of scenario. You know?

Alison: You have something to compare it to.

Belladonna: I don’t have to wonder what it would’ve been like if I tried that. I did.

Alison: A while back, you posted on your MySpace that you were leaving the industry over a scare you had had. Are you happy to be back? Do you feel like that changed you in any way or impacted you?

Belladonna: It made me realize – I mean, I was always slowly getting towards being more careful with my body – just really not wanting to put myself in certain situations. But, you know, it taught me a lot. And I think that also, it helped a lot of people outside the industry an insight on how, you know, this shit happens. And this is what it feels like and you’re not alone. There’s tons of people who have herpes, you know?

Alison: It’s a lot of stigma.

Belladonna: It is. And you know what? It’s something that people should be comfortable talking about, asking questions about. But I also don’t work as much as I used to. I’m very particular about who I’m with and what tests I get. So I think that should set an example for everyone in the industry to be like, “Just because we do this, it doesn’t mean we can’t be careful, healthy people,” you know? And be safe!

Alison: So who is on your list? Who do you like to work with these days?

Belladonna: Okay, I’ll tell you all the girls and the guys. There’s a lot. Girls that I love to work with are girls that get wet, girls that you can watch get turned on. Because – I don’t know if anyone else knows this – but when a girl’s turned on, her pussy gets wet. [laughs]

Alison: [laughs] I’ve heard that rumor.

Belladonna: It’s like why is this such a mystery, you know? I can literally, on two of my hands, show the amount of girls that I’ve been with that actually get wet. Out of hundreds, you know? And that says something to me. So those girls that I would tell you do get wet are: Kimberly Kane, Joanna Angel, Sasha Grey, Bobbi Starr, Lexi Belle. I know there’s more. Katsuni. There’s so many. Jenna Haze.

Alison: I heard you actually fisted Bobbi Starr on a webcam.

Belladonna: I did, but she wouldn’t let me fist her ass. I think because she was like, “Wait! I want to do this on my own time first.” I was like, “Alright, alright.”

Alison: Was it fun anyway?

Belladonna: Yeah, it was fun. I like girls that are not just…there’s more to them than just a face, you know? Like, they’re still beautiful, but they’re smart, intelligent and I like them. I like that.

Alison: How about the guys?

Belladonna: Okay, guys. My ultimate porn guy is definitely Rocco Siffredi. Because not only is he a good-looking man, but he’s natural. He has his pubic hair still, which a lot of guys shave down now. I don’t know. He’s sexy, he’s a man. And he has this presence. When he walks in the room, you fucking feel it, you know? And I’ve told this before to girls, the second you see him, something will come over you and you’ll do anything that he wants you to do. You don’t know why. Everyone does.

Ah, okay, so he, CJ Wright, Mr. Pete, James Deen, Rico Strong. I like a variety of men. And there’s probably a ton more. Lexington Steele, I love.

Alison: He’s super nice.

Belladonna: He’s so nice. And he’s gigantic. Like, [makes hand motion that indicates his dick is a foot and a half long]. It’s insane.

Alison: [Holding hands like Bella's] Is that about right?

Belladonna: [laughs] It’s that big! But, you know, I wouldn’t want to sleep with that every day, but I definitely want to play with it sometimes.

Alison: On our site [VideoBox], when we release scenes that are a little more rough or intense, there’s a feeling amongst some of our members that the women really aren’t enjoying themselves and I feel like you probably have a really interesting take on that.

Belladonna: Here’s the thing: when you see something that you’ve never put yourself in that type of situation before, then it’s really hard for you to understand. I think there’s a lot of people out there that like to fantasize and roleplay and even though they know it’s not reality. I know hundreds of girls who fantasize about being raped. Because they know it’s not real. They’re actually choosing the person that they want to live out the fantasy with. And that’s where they don’t understand that. There’s a lot of guys that don’t like to be rough with girls, too. In porn. Who are just like, “I’m not into it.” But you know, when people are put together and they’re both there because they want to be there, whatever they want to do should be okay as long as they’re happy about it – as long as they do it safely. . So you’ve got to understand that if you’ve never tried it before then you really can’t be the best judge of that.

Alison: That’s true. Speaking of which, how do you sort of go into a scene? What do you think beforehand? What do you talk to your partner about before you guys start?

Belladonna: I guess it just depends on who it is. But most of the time, it’s very casual. It’s like, ah, you know, the month before I booked them for the scene I’m like, you know I get to choose who I want to be with. And then the day they get there, I’m flirty and I flirt with them because I love to flirt and it starts really naturally even off camera. And then I just love watching them enjoy me no matter what I’m doing to them. And pleasing them is like, “ah.” A dream come true.

Alison: Is that your favorite part of your job?

Belladonna: [sighs] There’s so many favorites. I love being able to please people. I love seeing the expression on their face. I love giving them the time of their lives. And also giving myself the exploration sex. I like traveling the world, I like roleplaying, I get to shoot in all different locations. So many favorites about this job. And I’ve actually literally grown up on camera. My sexuality grew up on camera. I knew nothing when I got in the business.

Alison: It’s almost like an autobiography itself.

Belladonna: It is! It’s a video biography, right?

Alison: Well Bella, thank you so much for talking to me.

Belladonna: Thank you.

Alison: It was so nice to meet you.

Belladonna: It was a pleasure. I hope you guys have a good time.

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.

Interview with Jenna Haze

alison hart — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 01:33:45 +0000

This is my interview with Jenna Haze at the Adult Entertainment Expo in January. She’s extremely nice and just as beautiful in person as she is in her movies. We talked about her busy life, who she does her best scenes with, how her directing career is coming along and more.

Alison: How’s the convention going so far, Jenna?

Jenna: It’s good, it’s really good.

A: Have you done a lot of signings, met a lot of fans?

J: Yes, I signed for six hours yesterday and I’ve already signed for almost four hours today and I’ve got another three, so…

A: You must be pretty tired.

J: No, I’m used to it.

A: You really seem like the consummate porn star. You bring everything to your scenes every time. How do you do it?

J: [laughs] It just comes naturally. I like my job and when the camera rolls I do my thing.

A: What are your favorite things to do in your scenes?

J: Since I was under contract for so long doing only girls, now doing guys is the best. Of course, sucking cock. Anal scenes are probably my little niche – my favorite thing to do, besides blowjobs.

A: Who do you really like to work with?

J: Guys or girls?

A: Hmm. Guys.

J: James Deen, Johnny Sins, Manuel Ferrara, all yummy yummies.

A: Basically, the guys with the biggest dicks.

J: Pretty much [laughs]. I like the big ones. And Scott Nails, how could I forget Scott Nails?

A: How about girls?

J: Belladonna. Monique Alexander is my ex-girlfriend and she was awesome to work with. They’re both two of my favorite girls. Joanna Angel is my best friend, she’s always fun to work with.

I did a great scene with Gianna years ago for Fashionistas. That was amazing, with Gianna and Rocco. She’s an amazing performer and I love her a lot.

Alexis Texas, I just did an all-girl scene with her and she was fucking awesome. Slammin.

A: She has a great ass

J: Beautiful ass. I just buried my face in it. You couldn’t even see it. It was gone.

A: When doing a girl-girl scene, some performers really get into their scenes and get wet and some don’t. Is it important to you that your partner likes women?

J: Yeah, definitely. It’s always good to see that they’re really excited and really into it. Wetness is always a plus, right? Dry is not sexy.

A: How many years have you been doing porn now?

J: Seven and a half

A: And you’re not sick of it at all?

J: I have my times when I get a little burned out on work in general, not necessarily the work I’m doing. Just because I’m directing now and doing my own stuff, I’m also working for other people, I’m also feature dancing, I’m also doing my website and doing signings and stuff.

A: When do you sleep??

J: I don’t! I’ve been trying to be good and get like six hours sleep every night while I’m here, you know, but you know Vegas.

A: How do you like directing so far?

J: It’s hard. It’s really hard. A lot harder than I thought it was gonna be. It’s definitely going to be a learning process for me.

A: Do you think that since you’ve been performing for so long, you bring something special to directing?

J: I’m hoping to bring something special to directing. Once I get all my nervousness and second-guessing myself out of the way, you know. In the first movie I directed there was a lot of, “Is this hot? I don’t know. Should I shoot that? Is that good enough? Are they gonna like that? I don’t know What should I do?” So the first one was definitely very good for my first one, but I expect it to just get better and better.

A: What kind of movies do you really want to make?

J: Just hot movies. Movies of people having real sex. You know, I don’t want fake orgasms and all that stuff, I just want real sex. Gonzo, you know. Just get to the point.

I want to do a variety of stuff though. I want to do gonzo stuff, I want to do vignettes, I’ll probably never do features, it’s just not my thing. But I also want to do stuff that’s really different, really arty, really edgy.

A: When do you think you want to start getting into the really arty stuff?

J: Hopefully soon. “Cum-Spoiled Sluts” was my first movie and will be my signature series, I think. And then I’m doing my anal movie second, and then my next one will be the arty movie.

A: That sounds like fun. Is it fun getting to come up with your own ideas for movies?

J: It’s fun, but it’s also very expensive and so much work! I never realized there was so much to directing. I thought, “Oh you turn the camera on and you just tell them what you want to see and they go.” But there’s really a technique to it and I feel lucky because I have my boyfriend Jules [Jordan] to teach me. Hopefully he’ll teach me everything he knows and I’ll become the best female director in the business. [laughs]

A: I have no doubt that if that’s your goal, you’ll do it. Is it nice being with someone who’s also in the industry who understands what it’s like?

J: I would definitely never date anyone outside the business because there’s too much drama, too much headache, too much difficulty and I’m not changing what I do for anybody.

A: That’s great. You know, after this long in the business, you have a lot of devoted fans who probably know a lot about you. Is there anything you think they’d be surprised to find out?

J: I don’t know. People ask me this question a lot and I’m so much “me” on camera that I feel like I’m known to all of my fans. I always just say that I’m a dork. People don’t realize what a nerd I really am and how clumsy I really am. I fell down some stairs, actually, before I came here. So yeah, I have my moments. [laughs]

A: Well, Jenna, it was so nice talking to you. Enjoy the rest of the show.

J: Thanks, you too.
