Short Takes: Porn Star Leads to Gold…and More


We’re still in awe of Dustin Lance Black (above) and his moving acceptance speech at last month’s Academy Awards. The winner of Best Original Screenplay for Milk, Black was smart, eloquent and supercute, but did you know that the current A-Lister once worked with a gay porn star? In 2002, Black directed a documentary titled On the Bus, which was like an on-the-road reality show but only for the movies. And one of its subjects was twink porn star Dean O’Connor, who made a brief but major splash in the biz a few years back with films such as Technical Ecstasy and Young Men on Pleasure Trail. From what we knew of O’Connor, he was probably a bigger diva to work with than Milk star (and Oscar winner) Sean Penn.…Did anyone hear Barrett Long’s controversial appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show last week? The Long One is getting all sorts of bad press for speaking honestly about his heterosexual ways. We’re not big on radio—Sirius or otherwise—but we did hear bits of the interview and thought it was great…if you like listening to stupid straight homophobes sharing their juvenile views on sexuality and porn—and that was just Barrett! Okay, we know that the whole gay-for-pay thing is a totally marketable niche in porn these days, but do the alleged straightsters have to show such disdain for the fags they’re banging to earn a living? Condescension is never a turn-on.…For readers who’ve been wondering how porn star Nickolay Petrov (below) is faring now that he has been sentenced to 20 years in prison, sources at Fabscout in Florida tell us that they have been in touch with the onetime Jet Set exclusive and he is “very lonely” and hasn’t “gotten laid” in two years. Talk about a crime! Petrov still contends that he “didn’t do any of it” and is taking college courses and lifting weights (what else does one do in prison?). He would love to hear from his fans, and we’ve got his mailing address if anyone is interested in having an isolated but muscular pen pal.
