American Idol’s Stripper is first of the Top 12 Eliminated

Guess it wasn’t his first time in the “Bottom” three but David Hernandez was the first of “Top Twelve” to be eliminated. Well, at least he has something to fall back on.

PZP going less Campy in “Twink Whisperer”

The company known for “Campy, Hot Twink Sex” with films like “BeTwinked” (which had me both hard and laughing my ass off) and “Oliver Twink” says its next film “Twink Whisperer” will be “camp-light” director Peter Z says.

"Don't get me wrong - I love doing campy movies," he added. "But I just wanted to do something a little different this time around." And different it shall be, with very little dialogue and "an exceedingly simple plotline," according to Peter Z. "I'll probably go through Misty Eyez withdrawal and ask her to do the condom public serve announcement at the beginning of the movie," Peter Z said. "I love that drag queen."

Twink Whisperer due to be released in July, is billed as “a spiritual love story” the plot revolves around a lonely, horny ghost who inhabits a Fort Lauderdale, gay resort and seduces virgin boys over the course of 80 years. Aaron Tyler will play the ghost and Kyros Christian (his real life boyfriend); Dillon Samuels play the two hippies who attract the ghost. Not only will this be PZP first feature shot in high definition format but also will be Aaron Tyler’s directorial debut.

Michael Lucas Profiled in “The New Republic” Magazine

The tag line for the article is “The (Neocon) Kingpin of Gay Porn” and the title will be “Hard Right” and will contain Lucas’s in-depth controversial political opinions. Lucas will be the first gay porn entrepreneur ever to be profiled in the T.N.R. magazine.

"I am very proud to be featured in my absolute favorite magazine," Lucas said. "I have subscribed to The New Republic since 1997 when I arrived in America. This is a magazine which I can relate to much better than most other publications. [Its] views very often echo my own."

Raging Stallion Makes Damien Crosse Exclusive

Handsome, buff, Damien Crosse who recently completed a two year engagement with another studio has signed with Raging Stallion Studios for a long-term exclusive contract.

"I am really thrilled to be working at Raging Stallion," Crosse said. "I really enjoyed working with the guys at my previous studio. They were great people and we made some excellent films together, but after two years there I just wanted to try to do something new and different. Raging Stallion is the company that shoots some of my favorite porn, so it was an easy choice."

Crosse's first film for Raging Stallion will be Hotter Than Hell, a Steve Cruz feature in which he is scheduled for a major scene with Raging Stallion star Roman Ragazzi. Crosse also will be one of the lead performers in a Chris Ward Arabian blockbuster scheduled for shooting in July, and in a major cowboy drama scheduled for shooting in New Mexico in August.

Ellen Degeneres Phone's Oklahoma State Rep Homophobe Sally Kern’s

By now we all have heard Sally Kern’s recorded speech about gay’s where she states "The homosexual agenda is destroying this nation ... I honestly think it's the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam."She also states that civilizations has disappeared because of gays. If you haven’t heard the speech, check it out on youtube.

On the Ellen show today, Ellen tried to call Kern’s office to ask what civilizations she was talking about that ended because of gays. No on answered the phone and surprise, the answering machine was full. Later in the show, guest Wanda Sykes jokes, “if she thinks that homosexuals are a bigger threat, maybe she should pull our troops from Iraq and send them to West Hollywood”. “She’s outdated, she’s like bellbottoms”.

Sally Kerns confirms that she has made to comments but refuses to apologize.

Chi Chi LaRue Re-releases 1st Video Produced "Billboard"

Billboard from 1989 is Chi Chi LaRue's first video directed for Catalina and the debut of Joey Stefano (for Catalina) is re-released this week.

In her early work with Catalina, LaRue used the name “Taylor Hudson” because of concerns that audiences would not react well to a feminine name on a box cover.

Power-bottom star Joey Stefano was discovered by LaRue and went on to become one of the most recognized gay performers of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Stefano was really the first porn star famous for being a bottom. Stefano died in 1994 of an overdose but left behind an amazing amount of work. Fellow porn star Jon Vincent wrote in his autobiography that he and Joey had a hot, passionate drug-binge-fueled sexual relationship, in spite of Vincent being gay-for-pay and having a girlfriend.

Channel 1 Releasing, which is co-owned by LaRue, acquired Catalina Video’s extensive library in August, and now owns the rights to hundreds of videos

Colt Studios Sexy Underwear hits TV Land

On TV Land’s original show “High School Reunion” Colt’s underwear white racer thong made a cameo appearance. The odd thing is that they were worn by a Str8 guy Justin; The Pipsqueak' that all the women on the show (even the Lesbian) are drooling over.

Baywatch Babe Out and Proud

Anyone remember the guy who played Logan Fowler on Baywatch circa 1994? ....Anyone?...Anyone? Well his name is Jaason Simmons (double A's how gay is that) He has come out of the closet and wants to share his storybook lesbian romance with the world. In the latest issue of Aussie rag, New Idea, Jaason talks about how he and his boyfriend of 8 months are getting married in Canada and are currently in the process of of adopting a boy from Uganda. No seriously.

PS. notice the teaser headline on his Playgirl cover about Chad Allen. In hindsight, there was all kinds of gay going on in that issue.

Evan and Paulie's First Pornos Ever

Evan:
My first gay vid that I ever saw was "Ranger Nick" (1988, Man 2 Man Erotica). My first boyfriend asked if I wanted to rent a gay video, where the rental place was the next town over. I remember being nervous just going into the place with my boyfriend, with the video booths, men cruising around. Exciting too. My boyfriend lived at home and watching the video at my apartment was a lot more comfortable (to say the least). I remember being embarrassed by the bad acting, weird porn music in the background, and the fact that no one in the movie was "versatile." I also remember Nick Harmon, as the epitome of a hot, muscular Italian man that was like out of a dream. He seemed so straight, and of course, he was!

The first gay video I ever owned, instead of renting, was "The Road Home" (1996, Hot House). Todd Gibbs, Todd Gibbs, Todd Gibbs. Still one of my favorite movies ever. I plan to feature the wonderful Mr. Gibbs ("Call me Mr. Gibbs") in an upcoming Porn Star Profile on our blog.

Paulie:

My first glimpse at porn was Str8 flick at a babysitting gig when I was 13. When the kids were asleep I stuck in the tape and got instantly hard. This was the first time I saw a hard cock (besides my own) and jerked off 3x's before the parents got home. It was a long, long three years of jerking off to the images in my mind from that porn and trying to figure out how to see another one, hopefully gay.

When I was 16 I ran to the post office to get a PO Box and ordered gay porn from the back of on of those free newspapers at the Metro. I got a money order and sent in my $19.95 for”classic gay porn" and a free "dildo"(the dildo turned out to be a 1/2" eraser top and would be years later until I had a real one). Six weeks later I opened my PO Box and got the pre condom classic "Gayracula" starring Tim Kramer the blond hunk with a big cock. One of the hottest scenes of the video ends up in a hot orgy with Kramer tied up in leather restraints with four other smooth California studs pounding both holes and jerking off on him. I wore that VHS out and watched it almost daily for months and couldn't wait for my first orgy.

Porn Star Profiles #2 Cory Miles

This profile is more of a blast from the past! Cory Miles. (AKA Corey Miles) An unsung bottom-boy. Not in the same league as Kevin Williams or the other legends of bottom-dom, but he will always have a place in my heart or lower. Easily confused with Corey Summers, he was a blond, thin boyish guy. What set him apart, at least in my mind, was the utter joy and enjoyment he showed in most of his scenes. Nobody seemed to get such pleasure from taking a dick like him. And it didn't seem like he was putting on a "show" for the cameras; he seemed to really like getting fucked and getting fucked hard!
Some good examples: Rear-Ended (Hot House, 1995), where he has two scenes; one with Brad Hunt (a fantasy sequence that occurs after Brad rear-ends him with his car and then does the same with Cory's ass) and another with Eric Moreno (who plays a cop that Cory gives his statement and beautiful butt to; an Italian muscle guy on the cover that could make almost anyone melt). In each scene, the harder the fuck, the bigger the smile and the happier Cory seems. If its all mere acting, give that boy an oscar (and we know where he'll put it!)


And vocal about his happiness. Take Full Package (Jocks, 1995), where Cory is subjected to the "Brad Stone" dildo from Tony Vesta (his only role, I think). Subjected is the right word because the dildo is huge and the deeper and longer it is inside Cory, the louder and happier he is. He's what every tops hopes to find, a bottom that really enjoys it.


I don't know what became of him after his short span (1994-1998), but he did show up in a spanking video (Squirtz, Helix Studios), a few years ago, still causing me to remember all his scenes during his prime. If you have info or additions, please add them to the comments to this blog post.

Israel Newspaper Calls Gay Porn Star Michael Lucas a Patriot

A Mainstream newspaper in Israel “Maariv” has a four page article titled “Patriot” about Michael Lucas. Complete with photos, the piece has an in-depth interview conducted with Lucas while he visited the country last week. "I was thrilled to be interviewed by Maariv," Lucas said. "I've been giving more and more political interviews as of late, which makes me very happy and proud. As a porn star you have to work twice as hard in order to be taken seriously by mainstream press, so I take this article with great pride."

The article is published in Hebrew, but an English translation begins, "Michael Lucas, king of New York's gay porn movies, is a proud Zionist, slightly right-wing, denounces the gay parade in Jerusalem, is appalled by Gal Ochovsky and detests Islam. He is now visiting the homeland to realize a dream: to produce a local gay porn film that will turn Israel into the international capital of the gays.... He believes a well invested porn film aimed at the global gay community is exactly what this country needs."

This on the heels of his controversial remarks at a lecture in Stanford University where he was to speak about “safe sex and AIDS” but somehow compared the Koran to Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and his distain for Islam and contempt for Muslim men.

Colt Super-Stud Porn Star Luke Garrett New Dildo

The newest stud to make his cock immortal, Luke Garrett’s, is out and ready to ride. Garrett star of Colt DVDs like “Dual-Taking It Like A Man” and “Man Country” just oozes masculinity with his shaved head, huge muscle and big cock. Genuine cast of Luke Garrett is 8.25”/22 cm in length, with an ample girth. Better-Than-Real® Plus material is hand finished and colored for exacting detail. Sturdy suction cup base and premium storage bag.

Cal Exotics' product development staff said Garrett had a great attitude and was into the process.

"He was 100 percent thrilled to be there and thrilled to know he was being immortalized this way," Bloom said. "The molding was pretty quick and problem-free. As with all ‘better than real' genuine casts from COLT Gear, we know that a well-known personality in the genre will have a following ... and we are confident that Luke's fans will be thrilled with this piece."
Garrett said he is excited about the finished product hitting store shelves and making its way to consumers.

"Nothing could thrill me more than having my own dildo out there," he told ANB. "Guys are going to be putting me up inside them-me! [It's] unbelievable. It probably won't buy you breakfast in the morning, but it'll stay up with you all night. Now, I can find out what it feels like to double-fuck a guy with myself."

American Idol Contestant David Hernadez Gay Lap dancer

In what seem to be the “gayest” Idol year ever, new gay news from votefortheworst. Com finds contestant David Hernadez was a gay stripper/ lap dancer for a Phoenix club called Dick’s Cabaret. And not just "in your underwear" stripper, but full out nude get you off lap dance stripper. Manager Gordy Bryan says “He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here…”

Today Idol announced that they have no intentions of disqualifying Hernadez because of his past. "If it were some sort of heavy porn, then maybe we'd have to take action. But certainly not on this."

No wonder why Simon and Ryan like him so much bet they get some good lap dances.

Porn Star Profiles #1 Boris Sacharov

I decided that something I could try my hand at is profiles of gay porn stars that have been on my mind recently. (No, Paulie does not have a gun to my head) I figure this will give me free reign to talk about gay porn stars, past or present, that you don't know or maybe haven't heard about recently. Comments, corrections, suggestions are always welcome!

#1 Boris Zacharov (AKA Boris Zacharov & Martin Terk)

He first came to my attention in Falcon International's "Czech Tales, Part 1," but later realized I had seen him before.
He was in "Bareback Beginners 19" (Eagle Video) and "Raw Service" (AVI, distributed by Eurocreme).

Hammer Entertainment has cleaned him up a bit, or maybe its just better production values, but he still very hot. Incredible abs, tight muscular body, beautiful face. He's also slated to appear in "Boys Do It" (Vimpex Gay Media), which may be out, but I haven't seen it yet, and "Art of Love" (Hammer Entertainment). Of course, he's also in "Czech Tales, Part 2," where he bottoms, which I be reviewing on the podcast in the next few weeks.

Look for more videos featuring this hot Czech hunk in the future.

Wonderful 10 min Documentary On Leather Guy

Study Shows Link to Childhood Spanking to Risky Adult Sex

New research by a University of New Hampshire domestic abuse expert says spanking children affects their sex lives as adults. Professor Murray Straus concludes that children who are spanked are more likely as adults to coerce partners to have sex, to have unprotected sex and to have masochistic sex.

"The best-kept secret in child psychology is that children who were never spanked are among the best behaved," Straus said.

Guess if you like a nice paddle ever now and then, you can blame your parents. Another great conversation to save for Thanksgiving dinner.

Porn Star Babies

Ever wonder what some of today's hottest porn stars looked like as toddlers? Me neither, but The Sword has put together an entertaining game of match the baby photo with the porn star.

I guess it's a nice change of pace from the usual match the mug shot game we've become used to.
