What do supermodel Kate Moss and "man with a pussy" Buck Angel have in common? They've both been sculpted by the same London artist who recently made a splash with his solid gold version of Moss. So they should have a lot to talk about at that next "Gold Statue Anonymous" meeting. (xbiz.com + telegraph.co.uk)

Porn Stars And Their "Secret Lives"

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:20:44 EDT

Last night, WeTV—a network we were surprised to learn was in our cable package—broadcast an episode of their documentary series "Secret Lives of Women" that focused on the not-so-secret (to us, anyway) world of pornstars. Apparently, they don't just have sex 24 hours a day! The show focused on Fleshbot faves Gina Lynn, Nicki Hunter, Tera Patrick and Buck Angel (who used to look more like a woman, so we guess he counts), and it did a good job of relating each one's unique story while treating like them like ordinary people who just happen to have not-so-ordinary jobs.

In case WeTV isn't in your cable package, catch some excerpts —including Gina's take on living in a pornstar household with husband and fellow performer Travis Knight; another about the rise of Teravision; Nicki's amazing porn comeback after a bout with leukemia; and Buck's story on making waves in the porn industry as its first FTM transsexual performer—after the jump.

No matter how much you like feminist porn, no matter how supportive you are of different sexualities, and no matter how much you believe in the idea that everyone should have erotica that speaks to them ... the first time you watch a man with a pussy get fucked is always a bit of a shock. Yeah, Buck Angel has a way of doing that to people. (blogto.com)

2007 AVN Awards: Is That All There Is?

Jonnobot — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 00:30:34 EST

Had you been among the thousands of porn fans who paid upwards of $107 a ticket to watch the 2007 AVN Awards from nosebleed seating at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, you might have come to the conclusion that the American adult entertainment industry sees fit to celebrate its accomplishments in a venue better suited to Whitesnake concerts than High Art; that said industry is still amused by anal sex and Viagra jokes; and that Wicked Pictures' releases this year were better than everyone else's. However, had you not left early to beat the taxi line like we did, you would also have seen the lovely Tristan Taormino take home the trophy for Best Gonzo Release, the first time the award was won by a woman; the equally lovely Buck Angel win Best Transexual Performer, the first time (though we hope not the last) the award was won by an FTM actor; the eminent Joanna Angel win Best Porn Comedy for "Joanna's Angels 2: Alt Throttle"; the shoulder-stink avoiding Mika Tan win Underrated Starlet of the Year; and Fleshbot faves Jack The Zipper and Eon McKai tie for Best All-Sex Release for "Blacklight Beauties" and "Neu Wave Hookers" respectively.

We'll be posting more about this year's AVN Awards—not to mention our annual Red Carpet Fashion Roundup—once we've caught up on sleep and given our sinuses a chance to readjust from spending the last five days in a heady mixture of cigar smoke and recirculated desert air. In the meantime, we'll let the always-lovely-even-when-she's-mugging-for-the-camera Justine Joli express the way we're feeling right now via this shot we snapped of her on the way to the awards ceremony a few hours ago. See you on the other side, kids!
