Bel Ami vs. Big Brother

Filip Trojovsky, better known as Bel Ami's adorable and cuddly powerbottom Tommy Hansen, also currently a contestant on the Czech Republic version of Big Brother, fessed up to his porn career live on the show last night, citing the old "I was young and needed the money" excuse. Although he said doing porn was a bad thing, it was a brave move on Filip's part, no doubt. But he probably was just preempting the inevitable; he's graced the cover of Bel Ami's Greek Holiday, the upcoming Lucas In Love as well as the Feb, 2005 issue of Freshmen.)

Very quickly after, the following message appeared on BelAmi.com: "George Duroy is close to having a heart attack! ... The tabloids are starting to get wind of this story and the publicity surrounding Tommy is bound to hurt the models with whom he shot episodes ... George and many of the other models tried to talk Tommy out of appearing on this show ... Tommy brushed off all these conversations ... [replying] 'That's their problem'."

I'm still scratching my head as to why Duroy would be freaking that one of his biggest stars is on one of the highest-rated TV shows in the Czech Republic.

According to his Profil on the show's site, (thanks to a handy online Czech-to-English translator) Mr. Trojovsky is 20, from Brno, is single and loves Robbie Williams. His favorite show is "Jackass", his favorite film is "Pulp Fiction". His stigma is fish and his nickname is three (the translator might have gotten that last part wrong.

Shockingly, Tommy/Filip made no mention of any of this during our in-depth conversation a few months ago at the COLT/Bel Ami "Boys 2 Men" party. (That conversation consisting of me saying, "May I take your picture?" and him saying, "OK".)

Porn's not the only skeleton in the lad's closet: this revealing thread on Just Us Boys shows that he's worn quite a few hats in his day, from pugilist to male modeling (as in model-model, not model as a euphemism for being porn star).

How long until he's voted off? Although he's doing pretty well rating-wise, I'd bet he ends up on the chopping block pretty damn soon, if not for the scandalous past but for the sort of ubergay flat-ironed coif he's sporting lately. Stay tuned ...

RIP Pierre Buisson (18 Years Later)

I've been looking for an excuse to link to the blog of my literary idol Dennis Cooper for months, now I finally have one. He posted a somewhat-delayed obit for Pierre Buisson: the almond-eyed somewhat draggish star of three Jean-Daniel Cadinot films.

I've seen Dennis refer to Pierre as is "all-time favorite porn star" quite a few times and he even went so far to make him a character in his novel, Frisk, the first book of Dennis' I read. Anyway, Dennis just learned and blogged that Pierre died in November, 1987 (of a heroin OD, no less). He's looking for more info on him, so if you know anything, shoot him an email through his blog (tell 'em Jack sent ya!)

One thing's that driving me crazy -- I can't for the life of me remember which porn star was cast to play Pierre in the uninspired movie version of Frisk -- I remember him having a similarly clumsy, elfish beauty as Pierre. If anyone remembers, please chime in here.

Buckshot Slips Freudian With Beyond Perfect

People often deride porn as flat medium with only lurid visual appeal -- and with its graphic imagery, it's easy to make that assumption. But we don't have sex with our eyeballs -- the hottest stuff takes place inside our heads (and hands).

A year ago COLT Studio Group President John Rutherford and screenwriter Jerry Douglas finished shooting the gay porn cowboy epic Buckleroos for the studio's Buckshot Productions line. The film went on to take home top honors at both the GayVN Awards and the Grabbys, proving that the legendary COLT Studio had been revived and reinvigorated with a storyline that paid as much attention to emotion as it did motion. This year, the Rutherford/Douglas team is taking the heat from farm directly to the frontal lobe. Analysis will never be the same.

In the extra-uber-superlative Buckshot Production, Beyond Perfect, Brad Patton and Jason Kingsley play estranged lovers in (gay) marriage counseling. There's a gag order on the production, but the final scene promises to be as explosive as Dean Phoenix's bottoming in Buckleroos. Knowing Jerry Douglas, a healthy dose of the Superego will be on hand balance out the porn industry's usual fixation on the Id.

Cocktails with the Stars, Anyone?

More reasons to attend everyone's favorite gay porn meet and greet: Joining Jason Sechrest's weekly confab at Micky's along with the bevy of porn boys will be the none other than DJ Chi Chi LaRue -- spinning "everything from Top 40 to unreleased Britney and the new Paris Hilton".

LaRue's next appearance on the decks will be on September 22nd for the official Los Angeles premiere of Falcon's "Cross Country", along with director and former porn star Chris Steele and three new Falcon studs: Roman Heart, Benjamin Bradley and Derrick Vinyard, seen right, spreading cheeks.

And if that's not enough I'm hoping to also make an appearance there too. Fun times, fun times.

Vin Marco: The Gay Porn Blog Interview

I first became aware of Vin Marco about six months ago when a certain picture of him looking very Vin Diesel was making rounds on the blogoshere.

I've since learned he's more than just a pretty face ( ... er ... and cock) -- he recently started his own company called Manifest Men where, among other things, he sells his lavishly produced muscle worship DVDS (to date: the Mad Max-esque "Desert Warrior" and "Staining Vegas").

He was nice enough to grant me an interview, and all I can say is "Move over Zeb Atlas."

Stats
Birthday: January 6, Capricorn
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 220 lbs
Cock: 9"

Tell us a bit about Manifest Men.
I'm one of the two co-founders. Our goal was to put out a product totally new in terms of style and quality. We felt like the same old thing was being done over and over. I was so tired of seeing a hot guy in a pair of cut off shorts, construction boots and a hard hat. The stud next to the pool thing was another thing that studios could break away from. We really hoped to offer the public something I felt the industry was lacking and breaking away from the mold that the current studios seem to be stuck in. Before that, I was a Web cam performer and did some modeling for other studios. After about two years I realized I wanted to own my images and be really proud of a product where my own creativity could be used.

We currently have two videos for sale ("Staining Vegas" and "Desert Warrior") and one in post-production ("How") featuring Gabriel Marco, my real blood brother!

Your brother? No shit -- that's hot! How much pursuading did that take?
Gabriel is honestly my REAL brother.  We have always been really close.  I think our mother raised us to be that way.  He used to watch me give webcam shows and would beg me to get him on cam!  He's such the show off, how could I not turn him loose?  He's not only my brother but my friend and I'm lucky to have him.  Watch out for him!!

So what kind of action can viewers expect in "Staining Vegas" and "Desert Warrior"? Is it all solo for you, or do we finally get to see you get it on with another guy?
I think that in "Staining Vegas"  the viewer will  see  that we put a lot of effort to make it really different in terms of what is so common in the gay male erotica.  "Staining Vegas" was done up to the max from the hotels, wardrobes, props to the very idea of a high rolling character who calls the shots and lets people know he means business!!  Most of my work has always been solo, but in this particular movie I was a lot more interactive than I had ever been.  I had done some muscle worship clips that had involved other talent but in "Staining Vegas" I got  more than muscle worship.
 
Are you gay, straight, or bi?
Among the many things I'm very thankful for, gay male erotica has given me the opportunity to explore ALL facets of my sexuality.  I guess some come out or get a chance to be who they really for different reasons or at different stages of their lives.  I'm just really happy and content with who I am sexually.  I have never been able to quite classify myself and I think I'm really happy with that.  I've always contended that " A hard-on won't lie".

What turns you on?
Confidence turns me on.  Add muscle to confidence and you have one totally turned on Vincent Marco.  My turn-ons are not always physical. I think that I'm so physical that I really like to see the non physical features about others.

Biggest turn-off?
My biggest turn off is selfishness.  I am so turned of by greed and self involved people  Like I've always maintained, my biggest turn ons have never been about the physical, the same goes for my biggest turn off.

What was the first porno you ever saw?
I could not tell you the first porno I ever saw.  I don't think I can even remember that far back.  You're talking to a guy that started masturbating at the age of 4.

What's your workout routine like?
My workout routine varies depending on the physical goal I'm striving for. Typically my day starts our with some sort of cardiovascular activity (hopefully including " mattress aerobics" )  on an empty stomach.  After cardio I'll have my breakfast then about an hour later I'm in the gym hitting the weights 5 -6 days a week.  I tend to go heavy on the weights.
 
Last non-porn day job?
I worked at a nuclear power plant. Yeah, I used to be Homer Simpson. It was hard to be at work all day, come home late, go to the gym, eat properly and then hit the bed. I did that daily routine for way too long. This industry has allowed me to do what I love most.  The chance to be able to train properly, rest, and last but definitely not least to SHOW IT ALL OFF!  How could I not love what I do?  Along with all this comes freedom with which I can truly express who I am.

Is your name an homage to Vin Diesel?
It was given to my by my friend, Charlie.  I had nothing to do with it.  My middle name is Vincent and Charlie shortened it a little.  I do find it a little interesting that people say Vin Diesel looks like me ;)  I have been shaving my head for 11 years now, and about 4 years ago I started to hear that there was an actor that could pass for my twin. 

Have you ever met Vin Diesel?
I have never met him but I would be curious to see his facial expression if he ever saw me.

Bottoms Up! Chad Hunt Auditions Newcummers

The godzilla-cocked Chad Hunt has worn out his anal welcome in the Big Apple and is looking for a place to park his ass-splitting endowment. The New York-based stud is having trouble finding men man enough to take his 11-inch tubesteak and is on the lookout for new talent. Do you think you have what it takes to make it through his "Auditions" (Michael Lucas-style) for his camera-ready paramours (forget the casting couch and head straight for the bed? Think your hole take the whole thing? Future superstars (and anyone else that wants to take Chad up on his challenge), apply within.

Lukas Ridgeston Gets Lucky Again

God, I love Lukas Ridgeston. And after a seemingly endless drought of work in front of the camera, the uncut stud is finally back in action, in the almost-released Lukas In Love (available 8/23, and I'm counting the days). Unfortunately, the two-part video is reputedly also his last.

The first porn I ever paid for was Lukas' Story - I think it was $69.95 and I put it on a soon-to-be recalled American Express -- but it was worth every bit of my negative credit rating. I watched it five times in the first day alone. Granted, I was young and piping hot. But even after my stamina faded, my ardor for Lukas Ridgeston never did. Behind his steely blue eyes lay a sexual predator for whom I was willing bait and below his creamy pecs -- with nipples like ripe cherries -- was a 9-inch Czech cock that would usher in a golden era for Bel Ami.

It's nearly a decade later and I still can't get Lukas out of my head and there are few things that rile me as the boys of Bel Ami. They are equal parts narssicist and businessmen, but consummate performers. Even the sometimes overly exuberant cuteness with which Bel Ami markets its videos can't contain the the hardcore heat of its men. Czech, please!

Introducting Mike Roberts

Mike Roberts: Matt Sterling's sensational new discovery; the cover star of Sterling's fantastic Matter of Size 2 (a sequel that does the original justice).

I know nothing about him other than the fact that I'm obsessed with him and his fat, uncut cock. Since he merely jerks off (and cums all over Jason Crew) in Matter of Size 2, I assume he's straight (O.K., O.K. maybe he's just shy). There was a Titan Man of the same name, but this is not him.

Any further information on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! (More pictures after the jump.)

Jumping To Conclusions: Falcon's Heaven To Hell

Lately I've been noticing a frustrating contradiction in the world of gay porn: On one hand porn fans are overwhelmingly bored by the mass predictability of porn. On the other hand, people freak out whenever anyone dares stray from the formula or try something new.

Case in point: Heaven to Hell, Chi Chi LaRue's directorial swan song for Falcon Studios. When they released some promo images, they were met with negative comments and even a few bad reviews (remarkable since review screeners didn't go out until a few weeks later). When people actually got around to watching it, most reviewers flipped for it, and not just because Brad Patton bottomed for the first time. The elaborate production -- feathers, tattoos, devil horns and all -- worked really well as a gay porn fantasia.

Anyway, below are some images from the all-Falcon-Exclusive cast: Kane O'Farrell, Roman Heart, Tristan Adonis, Colby Taylor, and Erik Rhodes.

Chi Chi LaRue: The Gay Porn Blog Interview

When I think of what brought me into the gay porn industry, many factors -- including luck -- come into play, but a big one was the book Making it Big: Sex, Porn Stars, and Me -- Chi Chi LaRue's autobiography which I read about ten years ago. Once I read it there was no turning back. Over the years, he's turned out so many movies it's easy to loose track. In the past year alone he brought us BOLT, Kollide, Supersoaked, Wicked and the extravagant Heaven to Hell.

He sits at the helm of a true gay porn empire that Martha Stewart would be envious of: His own porn studio, a bevy of books and scads of Web sites. But perhaps most importantly he's taken an army of hot boys and made them porn stars: Johnny Hazzard anyone?

But what can I really say about Mssr. LaRue that hasn't already been said? An auteur. A visionary. A true porn legend. I feel extremely fortunate to be able to call him a friend.

Plug away! Tell us about your most recent projects. I’m getting ready to film our biggest movie of the year called “Wrong Side of the Tracks”, starring Rascal Exclusive Johnny Hazzard, All Worlds Exclusive Chad Savage, Marcus Iron, Trevor Knight, and newcomer Benjamin Bradley.  Also in the cast will be our other exclusives Luca DiCorso, Eddie Stone, Theo Blake, and our two new bodybuilder finds Luke Strong and Tyler Riggz.  I’m also excited about our new all-oral project called “HEAD”, and I’m sure you can guess where that takes place.  For any fans of the boys of straight porn, we just finished “Str8 Shots 2”, with straight studs Tommy Gunn, Grant Michaels, Tyler Knight, and more.

Birthday/Sign? Nov 8th /Scorpio.
 
Do you have any idea how many movies you've directed? I lost track at about 400
 
Top or Bottom? N/A cause I’m a cocksucker.
 
Single or Taken? I consider myself taken by all my friends. That’s the best relationship you can have.
 
What turns you on? CD shopping and a stroll thru Nieman Marcus.
 

What turns you off? Walking in full drag through a hotel lobby or casino full of straight people who feel the need to point and gawk.
 
Judging from Mr. Lucas' answer to the above question, are we to believe that you and he are not friends anymore? Were we REALLY friends to begin with? I thought so, but I guess not. 
 
Best ways for fans/new talent to get in touch with you? E-mail me at chichi@chichilarue.com.
 
Whenever I ask porn stars how they cam up with their name, they almost always say, "Chi Chi gave it to me".  How do you come up with porn star names? I always ask the guy the name of the street he grew up on, his first pet’s name or someone he had a crush on in high school.  Between that we can usually come up with a name.  In the case of some people like Bobby Williams and Robbie Angel, it just came to me when I met them.
 
How did you come up with the name Chi Chi LaRue? A bunch of us guys were sitting around trying to come up with our drag names and my friend Michael had a nickname for me called Chi Chi Box, so I took Chi Chi and my friend Scott came up with LaRue.
 
Have you slept with a lot of porn stars in your day? TONS! (laughs).
 
Does working in porn for so long desensitize you to sex? Absolutely, that’s why I direct straight porn for Vivid, it makes me appreciate man sex.

Who is your very best friend? Are you trying to get me killed? I have many but the two that stick out in my mind are my dear friends Bradley Picklesimer, and Vince Fauci aka Mona.
 
Who is Taylor Hudson? That was a director name thought up for me by Catalina Video because they thought Chi Chi LaRue wasn’t butch enough.  When the Chi Chi name became popular, of course they switched it back to Chi Chi.
 
How do you define your porno aesthetic? Dirty, delicious, fun and safe.
 
What's the first porn you saw? “Pretty Peaches” starring Sharon Kane.
 
What's your best movie to date?  If you say your last one, we're so not going to believe you. It would have to be the “Link” series or Idol Country, but of course Echoes and BOLT are pretty damn good too.
 
What's the best porn you've seen in the past year that you haven't directed? I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I will: Buckleroos was amazing, I’m very proud of Jerry and John.
 
What porn director most influenced you? Joe Gage, his movies were and still are the best.
 
What mainstream director most influenced you? That’s easy, the amazing John Waters.
 
What single element is absolutely essential for a good fuck scene? Chemistry.
 
Does you family know? Absolutely. They know about everything. They even get me little drag items for Christmas.
 
Your stranded on a desert island with nothing but a DVD player: which one porn and one porn star would you bring along? Joe Gage’s “Closed Set” and Filippo Romano, because he is damn fun and I know he would make me laugh the whole time.

Will Clark Turns 10

Actually, he's proudly 41. However, the redheaded fundraising (fire)brand known as Will Clark turns ten today, since it's been a decade since he made his first porn video. I wonder if Pam and Tommy will send out a press release next year.

If you can't make it to Will's Porno Bingo finale tonight, have a wank with some vintage Will at NakedSword. Happy birfday, Will.

Gay Porn Party: Bad Boys Burlesque

Proving once again that if you build it (a stage, that is), they will cum, Will Clark's Bad Boys Burlesque Show (aka Will Clark's Bad Boys By the Bay) celebrated it's third anniversary in high style. Redheads abounded with both Pete Ross and Blu Kennedy proving that the rug matches the drapes. (Redhead-chaser Andy Dill was a no show, oddly.)

The bevy of drag queens joined the porn stars -- and at least one played for both teams. Michael Soldier's alter ego Precious Moments took a vaudevillian turn as Ursala the octopus from "The Little Mermaid" (title character by the should-be-a-porn-star drag queen Suppositori Spelling with Joey Russo and Blu Kennedy doing back up duty on bubbles. What's next -- Raging Stallion on Ice?

Porn impresario Clark pleads with Sister Roma to stop fondling the talent.

Suppositori Spelling prepares to go Under the Sea while Pete Ross gathers the energy to walk the line.

Justin Gemineye tries to find his motivation. He eventually finds in in the lyrics of Crazy Town's "Butterfly."

Michael Soldier's creature feature gives Blu Kennedy's fiery loofah a squeeze.
