Seen: Parker Williams at Torino Film Fest in Italy

Porn star Parker Williams has returned from the Torino International GLBT Film Festival, where his directorial debut, Lube Job, was shown and he was honored last month. Williams, who is the star of films such as The Hunted and Unspoken and was added to the Grabbys Wall of Fame in Chicago last weekend, tells VincentLambert.com that his trip to Italy was an amazing experience.

“My movie was shown at the film festival for other creative filmmakers, artists, directors from all over the world to watch and talk about,” he says. “And we spoke not of lighting and sex, not of porn stars and dicks, but of the strengths and falls of the porn industry. We spoke of the philosophy that leads into the story, and at no time was I ever made to feel lesser around the other guests or patrons of the festival. It was very surreal to be part of such an experience, including the people I met and the respect and honor shown to me.”

Following the screening, a local club sponsored a party for Williams. “I was surrounded by five boys all in glitter,” he recalls. “These European dancers had me sniffing at their asses like a dog in heat! These kids were no more than 20, hairless, athletic and fucking cute as hell as they tossed sexual comments and innuendos at me. They had a bed in the middle of the bar (pictured above) that was basically my area or stage and with the help of a professional photographer, we took pictures of anyone that wanted to get on that bed with me. Woof!” Everyone knows how thoughtful Italians can be!

“This whole thing was very fun and exciting,” Williams says. “I gave interviews to local papers and magazines, and at no time did I hear, ‘Who was your best screen partner?’ or ‘What is your best movie?’ I think out of all this adventure, the high point is knowing that Lube Job is now part of the movement for porn being accepted by the mainstream cinema.”

News: Raging Stallion’s Grunts Now in Blu-ray

Raging Stallion Studios has announced the release of its multi-award-winning film Grunts: The New Recruits on Blu-ray disc. The film, which won Best Picture at this year’s GAYVN Awards, is the first Blu-ray disc for Raging Stallion and follows Titan Media’s Breakers, which was the first gay porn film to be released in Blu-ray. Many believe that this rapidly growing format will be the new wave for retail sales over the next few years. Initial sales of the Grunts Blu-ray have been strong, showing that gay porn fans are up-to-date with their technology. At the same time as the Grunts announcement, Raging Stallion outlined an ambitious plan to release almost all major new movies in the Blu-ray format. It’s expected that one new Blu-ray disc will be available every three to five weeks. The next Blu-ray feature for the San Francisco–based studio will be director Ben Leon’s The 4th Floor, which stars RSS exclusive Logan McCree.

“The new Blu-ray technology really allows us to showcase our beautiful men as never before,” says company president Chris Ward. “The image is so clear that it almost seems 3-D. After viewers see Blu-ray fucking, they are going to have a hard time going back to the old blurry images they now have. The advance in picture quality is at least as significant as going from black and white to color.”

Movie Review: Desperate Househusbands 2

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Director: Tom Bradford.
Cast: Julian Vincenzo, Milan Gamiani, Jeff Halston, Lucio Maverick, Flavio Valentino, Ludovic Canot, Kevin Cage, Solten Talton, Rod Stevans, Steve Hunt, Andrew Moretti, Fred Faurtin.

From the campy acting to the melodramatic music, this frothy follow-up to Private Man’s Desperate Househusbands is good fun from start to finish. Milan Gamiani and Julian Vincenzo are residents of Pussy Willow Lane. After a private dick hired by their wives snaps pictures of them having sex with men, the guys are thrown out of their houses. This soapy setup leads Gamiani to take a job as a houseboy for a horny couple and Vincenzo to work as a bartender. Along the way, they secretly shack up together—and with others, too. Gamiani gets nailed by Jeff Halston in a hot poolside fuck, while beefy Vincenzo bangs shaggy-haired Flavio Valentino. There is also an energetic threeway with Gamiani and his new employers (Solten Talton and Andrew Moretti), which starts with him naked except for his apron! A buff Fred Faurtin shows up at the bar where Vincenzo works for a threeway with the bar back (Ludovic Canot). Five of their buds also get busy in a hot tub. The final scene finds our heroes getting the last laugh on their former wives with a plot twist that suggests another installment of this sexy soap opera is on the way. A strong cast (all wearing Ginch Gonch underwear—hmm, do we smell some product placement?) and lighthearted story line make this one a crowd-pleaser. (Private Man)

Press: Erik Rhodes Lands New Unzipped Cover

The June issue of Unzipped magazine features a fetching cover photo of beefy porn superstar (and sometime blogger) Erik Rhodes, who, in his typical no-holds-barred style, admits to writer Ken Knox that he is a size queen and fondly reminisces about the time he was gang-banged by eight black guys and his hole swelled shut. And that wasn’t even for a movie!

Also in the issue, you’ll find Vincent Lambert’s review of director Andrew Rosen’s latest award-nominated release for Jet Set The F Word, which tackles the topical and touchy subject of a closeted TV star who calls a co-worker a “faggot” and ends up paying the price. Here’s an excerpt:

Reporter Penn (Jesse Santana) meets with his [gossip] source Jarred (Guy Parker). [In the movie] these two cuties have a secret deal in which they trade exclusive information for sex. So in return for the dirt he phoned in from the set, Jarred gets sucked by Penn, who deep-throats and spits all over his cock as he probes Jarred’s hole. Penn releases the beast in his jeans and Jarred does his share of sucking, too. Then the real-life couple flip-flop fucks. Hmm, wonder if this is what goes on in their bedroom at home. We’ll never know, but we can fantasize!

To read the full review, pick up the June issue of Unzipped.

News: Lucas Sued by Spunk Video Over BB Title

Gay adult film industry publication JRL is reporting that movie distributor/retailer Spunk Video has filed suit in federal court over rights to a bareback movie allegedly made by director Michael Lucas. Spunk producer Mike Brady says, “Michael Lucas produced a bareback movie and then refused to pay for it. He told the director to go sell it to someone else and we bought it.” The company claims that last month Lucas Distribution promoted a bareback DVD titled Raw Twinks in Czech that contained the same footage as a film Spunk had previously released as Nasty Piss Boys.

Lucas, who has been sued over a title before, is out of the country in South America but released a statement through his publicist. “Lucas Entertainment never had and does not have any intentions to produce bareback videos. Our company is also not concerned about Spunk Video’s motives to issue such a baseless press release.”

In the same release, the president and CEO of Lucas Entertainment is quoted as saying, “I’m not even remotely interested in reading Spunk Video’s press release, and Spunk Video is welcome to take any letter they have to any court they choose.”

These statements are consistent with what has always been a strong anti-bareback stance from Lucas and his New York–based company. More to come on this breaking story…

News: Jason Ridge to Make Directorial Debut

Porn superstar and producer Jason Ridge has announced that he will add directing to his list of accomplishments. His Ridgeline Films has already produced hits such as A Rising Star and Beyond Malibu; now, with the company’s third release, Up Country, Ridge will make his directorial debut. And the sexy stud will not only produce and direct the film, but he will write the screenplay as well.

“I’ve worked with—and continue to work with—a lot of amazing directors,” Ridge says, “and when I’m not physically on camera, I have watched and learned from them. It’s a major undertaking, directing your own movie, so I made this first one simple with minimal dialogue and some hot scenes. This is my baby, and I’m very proud of it. I hope everyone enjoys watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.”

Ridge also appears in Up Country, topping exclusive Damian Rios, who gets banged by Wolf Hudson in another scene. Rounding out the cast is Enrique Cuerro, who sticks it to Jackson Wild, and Maliek Taylor, who gives up his ass to Sean Preston (no relation to Brit Brit). Up Country will be available for pre-order on RidgelineFilms.com in late May and will street in June.

Seen: Big Brother 9 Cast at Here Lounge in Weho

The cast of Big Brother 9 celebrated the show’s season finale last week at Here Lounge in Los Angeles. Following a wrap party on the CBS lot in Hollywood, which was attended by director Chi Chi LaRue, the reality stars moved the fun to Here, where Jason Sechrest of JasonCurious.com was hosting his Porn Star of the Week event. LaRue, who is a hard-core fan of the show per her blog at ChiChiLaRue.com, invited the newly ousted houseguests to her apartment for a private after-party. Among those seen: Cougar mom Sheila and token evil fag Joshuah (pictured above with Sechrest) and Crazy James (below with LaRue), who made news during the season when his gay porn past came to light (he shot a scene for NakedSword’s Dirty Tricks series). Wannabe MILF Sheila is also an actress (she starred in a movie titled Ellie with Shelley Winters in 1984—IMDB it!) and nasty chubster Josh, whose cruel comments and frank admissions about his drug usage and unsafe-sex practices gave gays nationwide a bad name, is also threatening to do porn. This might be a possibility now that he’s met industry power player LaRue, though he might want to look into dieting first. Meow. Also seen: singer Lance Bass, actor Wilson Cruz, former Big Brother contestant Marcellas Reynolds, as well as pornsters Blake Riley, Roman Heart, Robbie Angel, Trevor Knight, Nick Capra, Lex Sabre and Cort Donovan.

News: Jimi Hendrix Rocks New Sex Tape

Vivid Entertainment has announced the release of its latest celebrity sex tape, and it’s from an unlikely source—’60s rock god Jimi Hendrix. Shot in a hotel room circa 1968, Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape purports to show the legendary musician, who died in 1970, in an erotic encounter with two women. “This new movie shows that Jimi Hendrix could have been as great a porn star as he was a rock star,” says Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch. “He could clearly play more than just his guitar. It’s easy to see that he turned women on with his music and his passion.”

The 8mm home-movie footage was acquired by Vivid, which has also released sex tapes featuring Tommy Lee, Pamela Anderson and Kim Kardashian, through a broker from a collector who bought the reel at a London auction. The company consulted with several experts to authenticate the footage, including I’m With the Band author Pamela Des Barres and Cynthia Plaster Caster, who is renowned for creating plaster molds of rock star dicks, including Hendrix’s. Both women contributed commentary to the new DVD. “No doubt about it,” Cynthia says. “That’s Jimi Hendrix’s dick, and I should know.” Des Barres adds, “Hendrix liked to be filmed having sex. He’s the ultimate adult-film movie star. I understand why everyone wanted to sleep with the guy.”

However, the Hendrix estate is claiming that the sex tape is a fake. In a statement, the estate defends the Purple Haze singer, saying, “We view the release as nothing more than a callous attempt to trade on the image and reputation of a deceased artist who is unable to defend himself against such an outrageous and baseless assertion.”

Should Do Porn: Ben Cohen

Hunky Ben Cohen is a British rugby star who plays for France’s Brive, following many years with Northampton Saints. His usual position is on the wing (whatever that means). The 29-year-old, who is obviously not shy about showing off his hot and hairy body, also has a beefcake calendar and models underwear for Sloggi. Now, we may not be big on sports, but if we saw burly Ben running down the field, we’d surely be on the sidelines cheering: Should Do Porn!
