It looks like a recent positive HIV test has caused several adult film studios to temporarily stop production of up coming films. Hustler Video, Digital Playground, and Wicked Pictures to name a few, have all decided to put future shoots on hold as a precaution. The recent positive HIV test has renewed new calls for condoms to be used in the adult industry.
No information about the individual who tested positive has been released. Due to patient confidentiality it is unlikely we’ll hear who anytime soon. Once the industry has a better understanding of the situation it is expected to resume all productions.

I used to watch reruns of this 60’s TV classic with my father when I was a kid. After watch the (SFW) trailer this is one parody that I am definitely adding to my collection.
Auditions for all main roles to be held on Monday, March 8th
Fresh off his win for Director Of The Year at the XBiz Awards and with his long-awaited Batman XXX now in the final stages of production, Axel Braun is getting ready to tackle another big-budget parody for adult powerhouse Vivid Entertainment, and this time…it’s a musical!
“Grease XXX is an ambitious project that I have been developing for a couple of years now” says a clearly excited Braun, adding “It’s going to be completely different from anything you’ve ever seen in porn…the songs are absolutely incredible, and the dance numbers will be handled by a top Hollywood choreographer. And, of course, there will be plenty of great sex!”
Featuring five different dance numbers, Grease XXX is certainly not an easy movie to cast, especially since all talent will be required to do their own singing and dancing, but Braun seems pretty confident in the adult talent pool. “I intend to shatter the stereotype that porn people lack real skills”, states the director, adding: “Many performers are incredibly talented individuals who have simply chosen to make their living in the Adult Industry for personal reasons. Grease XXX will give all of them a real opportunity to shine!”
Auditions for all main roles will be held at 2PM on Monday, March 8th at the Vivid Entertainment offices, located at 3599 Cahuenga Blvd. W., Los Angeles, CA 90068.

Thursday, December 3rd Castle Megastore had its Annual Holiday Party at the Scottsdale Plaza which was loaded with Castle Megastore employees, managers, and A-List industry folks. The party capped a 3 day annual managers meeting hosted by Castle Megastore for all of its store managers. This years party had a circus theme complete with jugglers, magicians, and a mime. One notable who was in attendance was Zero Tolerance’s new contract girl Sara Sloane. Sara Sloane, formerly known as Sarah Vandella, who signed with Zero Tolerance at the end of October, was accompanied by Courtney Cummz, also with Zero Tolerance.

From www.lasvegasweekly.com – One hundred forty characters isn’t much to make a personal connection with the world, but millions keep trying—some of them porn stars.

Social networking draws in millions every day, from MySpace to Facebook to Twitter to countless other social-networking sites. But 10 months ago, one local company found a way to use social networking and porn stars, two very popular topics, to build a business: Porn Star Tweet.
Porn Star Tweet is an aggregation website that lists every porn-star tweet, picture or video posted on Twitter. It gives enthusiasts a quick, easy way to check in with their favorite porn stars, and it drives traffic to the stars’ social-networking sites.
Additionally, Porn Star Tweet hosts weekly “Tweet-Ups” at The Velvet Lion Gentlemen’s Club. Every Thursday, the company brings in a different porn star to co-host and party with its followers at the club’s Intimate Porn Star Encounter night.
A recent Encounter hostess was Heather Vahn,[pictured] a Vegas-based porn performer who’s been in the business nearly two years and joined Twitter just six months ago. “Twitter changed my life,” Vahn said. “Porn Star Tweet puts you out there and promotes your name.”
When the site launched, only 17 porn stars were on Twitter, among them Stoya, Jenna Haze and Joanna Angel. Now Porn Star Tweet catalogs 507 porn stars and has a following of more than 50,000. “These numbers are striking in the social-networking space,” said Pete Housley, owner and creator of Porn Star Tweet. “And we really had no clue what we were getting into when we built it.”
Today, he and his two employees, Alyss Heart and Simone Peters, operate eight sites under the Naughty Tweet Network, including ALT Girl Tweet, BBW Girl Tweet, Web Girl Tweet, Gay Star Tweet, Glam Girl Tweet and Porn Exec Tweet. They also launched Comedy Tweet, the second most successful site in the portfolio.
“Across our network, we reach about 50,000 people every time we tweet,” Housley said. “We also have a really strong following on Facebook and a mediocre following on MySpace. … We also integrate with Flickr, YouTube, pretty much anything social. You can bet your ass we’re plugged in.”
Porn Star Tweet is thriving due in part to its personal approach to social networking.
“Porn Star Tweet owes most of its success to having Alyss Heart drive the product, because she’s the face or the tweet, if you will, behind the whole system. She is the person they identify with,” Housley said.
“Porn Star Tweet has far, far, far more followers than Alyss Heart, but she herself has around 6,000-7,000 followers. So it’s about personal attention: reading the tweets and seeing what’s going on with people and tweeting in context. Blasting messages is just wrong.”
This personal approach is the main reason people interact on Twitter rather than clicking on a pornography site. “Social networking is about people spending time on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace that aren’t getting that social interaction out of life, so they’re using those as outlets to meet friends,” Housley explained.
“People don’t have to leave their house to become socialized, and they feel like they know these people now. They feel like they know Alyss Heart, and they feel like they know these girls.”
“I’m a Twitter junkie, so everyone knows exactly what I’m doing, and I’m a Twitpic junkie too, so everyone can see what I’m doing. My followers know me,” Vahn said. “I tell them to click on this link to see me, and a lot of people do.”
