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.

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!

Yes, we all know that some porn girls escort on the side. Some, like Sunny Lane, do it the smart way – at legal brothels. Others work for escorting agencies that, while perhaps offering more privacy, are prone to little things like federal investigation.

The madame behind possibly the largest porn star escort service of its kind – Nici’s Girls – is Michelle Louise Braun. She was charged in federal court today and it’s come out that in exchange for a plea deal (5 years probation, up to 6 months house arrest and a $30k fine), she’s rolling over on her clients and her girls.

According to documents on Hollywood, Interrupted, names found among the records for Nici’s girls include Playmate Nicole Lenz, Playmate Alexandria Karlsen, Playmate Victoria Silvstedt and 90’s porn star Victoria Paris.



Seventy-one women allegedly worked for Braun, including former Club Jenna contract girl McKenzie Lee, who was specifically named by the U.S. District attorney prosecuting the case. According to industry veteran Mike South, two other porn stars (Elizabeth Starr and an unknown woman who may have been Taylor Wayne) were arrested about a month ago as part of what Starr described as a huge federal investigation into porn star escorting.

Looks like some shit may hit the fan in the coming months/year or so. You know who won’t be caught up in it? Mika Tan. Just saying…

I know that porn isn’t about the guys, but the fact is that horrible male talent can ruin a scene with even the hottest girl. That’s why I love Manuel Ferrara. (That and how incredibly gracious he was when I was drunkenly nattering on at him after the AVN awards)

I hear all the time about guys who make a scene unwatchable (cough, Lee Stone, cough) and it’s refreshing that there a few woodsmen out there who add something to their scenes instead of serving as an annoying distraction.

The three main reasons Manuel is one of the all-time greatest male performers:

1. He gets the best performances out of the girls
A boring partner can make a scene with the most enthusiastic girl into a disappointment. Manuel gets the girls so hot and crazy that they can’t help but have a great scene. He has without a doubt caused more orgasms on camera than any male talent I’ve ever seen (although big ups go out to Steve Holmes on that front as well). Every star I’ve ever talked to, when asked who her favorite guys to work with are, says Manuel Ferrara without hesitation. He turns them on and they turn you on. Win-win situation in my opinion.

2. He’s a gentleman to his co-stars
There are quite a few guys out there who get into porn for the wrong reason. They seem have something to prove. They don’t respect women and they can seriously fuck up a scene by getting way to aggressive and degrading. Manuel clearly loves women. He can get rough, but he always treats them with respect and takes them to the edge without going too far. That’s sexy.

3. He directs hot scenes
Directors are at least as, if not more important than the male talent. They are the ones who ultimately decide whether to use gauzy filters or move the camera every 15 seconds or focus on a guy’s taint for extended periods of time. A great director loves women, loves sex and wants to turn people on. I think Manuel has been such a successful director because he really does have all of those qualities.

Good male talent is hard to find and I am very thankful for the handful of guys who aren’t boring stuntcocks or assholes. Manuel Ferrara is definitely in the upper echelon of male porn talent and he deserves recognition (in addition to his AVN awards, I guess).
