Have a Happy!

It’s once again time for our annual holiday break, so we’ll leave you (but only temporarily), dear readers, with some scrawny twinks in cheesy Santa caps. Hey, it gets the job done! As always, we’d like to thank all our faithful followers who visit on a daily basis and make VincentLambert.com their source for all the latest gay porn news, gossip and information. It’s hard to believe that we’re heading into our third year of blogging—and you men have stuck with us. May your gay days be merry and bright. We’ll be posting on and off before the new year (and decade!) hits. We’ll also be announcing the winner of our annual calendar contest. So stay tuned, kids. And happy holidays!

Short Takes: Death of 2 Porn Stars…and More

Gay Porn Land is still reeling from the news last week of the passing of two young stars. First, porn star Dustin Michaels (top photo) died in a freak accident following a run-in with police in Bay County, Florida. The 23-year-old model, who worked for online studios such as BoundGods, CircleJerkBoys and On the Hunt and appeared in the film Cocks in Paradise for RVD Films, choked on a bag of marijuana after sheriff’s deputies Tasered him in an attempt to arrest him. In a bizarre twist, a camera crew was trailing the cops for a TruTV reality show and captured the unfortunate incident on video, which local Florida media and several Web sites picked up. Gino Colbert, who directed Michaels in Paradise, recalls that he was “quite handsome and tall. The lad showed up on time, was very professional and did a good scene.”…Later the same day, it was reported that porn star Todd Welch (second photo) passed away following a battle with a rare form of lymphoma. Welch, 29, has worked in the industry since 2007 and appeared in films such as Endless Crush for Falcon Studios and Welcome to Paradise and Auditions 18 for Lucas Entertainment. Both models will be missed by family, friends and fans.…In other less than happy news, Erik Rhodes is saying on his blog that he spent three days in the ICU unit of a hospital last week for an unnamed ailment. The Falcon exclusive, who stars in Pledgemaster: The Hazing, out this week, says it was for “reasons beyond my control.” He adds that he is out now, feeling “weak and really tired.” Rest up, stud.…On a much lighter note, Levi Johnston ain’t the only one making fun of Sarah Palin. Now superstar dragster RuPaul has done an amazingly spot-on spoof of the moron from Alaska and her best-selling (!) memoir, Going Rogue. Below you can see Ru “Going Vogue”—and it’s all in the name of some good old-fashioned self-promotion for the second season of her hit Logo series, RuPaul’s Drag Race. This “RuPalin” returns with new episodes starting February 1. Can’t wait! And speaking of spoofs, we also can’t wait to see Jet Set Men’s Getting Levi’s Johnson, featuring Mark Dalton and that star-studded cast, next year. More on that soon!…There are only a few days left, dear readers, for you to enter the annual VincentLambert.com calendar contest. This year, we have Raging Stallion Studio’s To the Last Man 12-incher, er, 12-monther, and it is already sold-out. But we have a copy, so this could be your last chance to snag one! Deadline is this Wednesday, December 23, at midnight. Click here for how to enter.

New Release: Focus/Refocus

It’s here! One of the most highly anticipated (and hyped) gay porn flicks of the year has arrived. Raging Stallion Studios has unleashed Focus/Refocus just in time for the holidays—and for year-end award consideration. And it looks like the San Francisco–based studio has come up with another winner. This five-disc set has got everything we have come to expect from a RSS blockbuster, including a bit of controversy (before the film was even released, co-director Chris Ward give an interview to our friends at gaypornblog.com in which he refuted claims that this was a snuff film!). There are lavish sets, a huge cast of exclusive studs (including Steve Cruz, Bruno Bond, Ricky Sinz, Ryan Raz, Jason Crew, Angelo Marconi and Tristan Jaxx), amazing videography and story line that teeters on the edge. Directors Ben Leon, Tony Dimarco and Ward, who won a slew of awards for last year’s To the Last Man, once again deliver the goods.

Focus/Refocus features more than a dozen full sex scenes that run for over six hours, and the bonus discs offer another three hours of POV footage, which figures into the plot. The film is about an amateur videographer (newcomer Cole Streets) who shoots sex scenes, so in addition to its main cameras, RSS gave the models cameras to film themselves while they worked. This footage is cross-cut with HD footage, so viewers get the best of both high-end, glossy porn and amateur, gonzo porn. This is exactly the kind of innovation that keeps Raging Stallion at the top of the industry.

Another excellent extra is an extended documentary from director Andrew Rosen titled Getting Into Focus that takes a revealing look at how major movies are made in the porn industry, complete with interviews with models and directors. It ain’t as easy as you think, guys!

While we haven’t had the time to view all six hours, we must say that the teaser scene we were sent (along with a vaguely threatening ransom note saying, “I know what you’re doing”) hasn’t left the DVD player. It features new RSS exclusives Cole Streets and David Taylor (current RSS Man of the Year) getting together for a vivid fuck. Ward has described the movie as a “basic story about a serial killer who is stalking the Castro.” And Adam Killian, Damien Crosse, Francesco D’Macho, Wilfred Knight, Scott Tanner, Connor Habib and Mitchell Rock, plus newcomers Brogan Reed and Frank Fatone are all along for the ride. Wheee! For more information, visit RagingStallion.com.

Movie Review: Entrapment

BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Directors: Michael Lucas and Mr. Pam.
Cast: Ryan Raz, Dimitri Romanov, Vin Costes, Isaiah Foxx, Andrew James, Lars Svenson, Kayl O’Riley, Murphy Maxwell, Trae Angle.

Recent real-life events at Manhattan’s adult stores are the inspiration for Lucas Entertainment’s Entrapment. The film takes on the serious issue of gay men being falsely arrested for prostitution as they browse the aisles of a gay video shop (which just happens to display recent Lucas releases. Hey, no one ever said Michael Lucas was above a bit of shameless self-promotion!). In six scenes, we follow new Lucas exclusive Dimitri Romanov as he gets nailed—first by off-duty police officer Vin Costas, then by Costas’s smirky partner Ryan Raz (below), who entices Romanov at the bookstore then brings him in for questioning. Romanov was discovered by Lucas on a trip to his Russian homeland, and his English is minimal if nonexistent (proven in a DVD extra interview in which Lucas translates for the adorable young hunk). This makes his framing all the more unfair. There’s a contrived subplot in which Raz’s kid brother (Andrew James) comes out to him (after having hot interracial sex with Isaiah Foxx). But the centerpiece is Raz’s interrogation of Romanov after his arrest. Sure, Raz has a pretty prick and proves himself as a top, but the blond twink can barely keep a straight face during his dramatic scenes. Sadly, he just doesn’t have the gravitas to pull off a role of this nature. On a serious note, Lucas (who co-directs with Mr. Pam) shows up in the closing credits to lecture viewers on the importance of civil liberties—which is exactly what most porn viewers crave while they’re jacking!

The manly man hasn’t updated his excellent blog in a couple of months, but we do know that he has a new movie coming out on December 22 for Falcon Studios. Rhodes is starring with Derrek Diamond in Pledgemaster: The Hazing. And we’re hearing that the studs engage in some hot candle-wax dripping and even hotter flip-flop fucking. Hazing has never been so good! John Magnum, Nash Lawler, Kyler Benz and Dayton O’Connor are featured in the film too. Rhodes is also doing a live Web show this Saturday, December 12, at 6 pm PT. Welcome back, big guy! For more information, visit falconstudios.com.

Short Takes: Antonio Biaggi Retires…and More

One of gay porn’s biggest dicks is leaving the business. Um, we mean his appendage, not him! The good guys over at QueerPornNation.com were the first to report that Raging Stallion exclusive Antonio Biaggi (above) is quitting porn. He has also announced on his blog that he is closing his eco shop in San Francisco and moving back to Puerto Rico after the holidays. We’re hearing that all these major changes could be due to the breakup of his relationship with a certain RSS photographer. Fear not, fans of oversize cock, Biaggi still has five films left on his RSS contract, so we haven’t seen the last of this hung hunk just yet.…In other retirement news, veteran porn model and international escort Talvin DeMachio has written to let us know that come March, he is also packing it in. “I have been in the industry a long time,” DeMachio says, “and now is the time for me to take a very long break and think about if it’s time for me to exit stage left.” Talvin began in films in 1996, working for Hot House Entertainment. He went on to make numerous movies for Titan Media, including Fluid, before focusing on escorting worldwide. He’s been at it for 13 years. Sounds like the guy could use a rest!…Two down and one to cum! To balance the scales, porn star Cody Cash (below) is returning to the big biz. Faithful fans will recall that Cash has had a couple of run-ins with the law over the years. But now, the blond babe is out of prison and itching to get back to work. Talent manager David Forest tells us that Cody will be meeting and greeting old friends at Micky’s Cocktails With the Stars hosted by Scotty B in West Hollywood on December 17. That’s the night Chad Donovan throws his Kinky Christmas Party featuring special guest Antonio Madiera. (Fun fact: Chad was the first guy to ever penetrate Cody. On-screen!?)…This next item has nothing to do with gay porn, except for the fact that it’s a gay porn star who is busting a mayjah move in this tribute video to Michael Jackson. Wolf Hudson has made no secret of his love for the late King of Pop. He and Rob Romoni even attended his memorial service last summer. Now, the King of Kink has filmed his own dance routine to the tune of “Billie Jean.” There is some fancy footwork here, and Hudson goes the whole nine, with advanced crotch-grabbing, moonwalking and a sequin glove. Bravo, stud!

Event: Sex Worker Literati in NYC

Sex workers, unite! Or at least the most intellectual sex workers will be uniting tonight in New York City. Sex Worker Literati is a free monthly performance series that features, er, sex workers, former sex workers and people with stories about the sex industry who read, monologue and perform. And tonight just happens to be Boys Night, with appearances by porn star Tré Xavier (below) and Bigger Than Life author Jeffrey Escoffier. Also scheduled are Craig Seymour, Twisted Monk, Alex Kinney and Matthew Lawrence. We know that our blog buddy Tré has been taking a break from his often controversial tresx-rayvision.com site to work on his presentation. “I can tell you now that I don’t plan to do just an ordinary reading,” he says. “I want my appearance to be like my blog coming to life, so I hope to use some interactive media.” Sounds educational! Sex Worker Literati is hosted by Audacia Ray and David Henry Sterry at Happy Ending (302 Broome Street) tonight, Thursday, December 3. Doors open at 7 pm and the reading is from 8-10 pm.

Guy Candy: Douglas Beckham

Newcomer Douglas Beckham is available…for work. The 27-year-old model lives in South Beach, where he has basked in the Florida sun. Oh, and he’s acted, been a go-go dancer, done “private meetings”—anything for his art. Now he’s signed with talent manager David Forest, who famously reps Mark Dalton, Zeb Atlas, Johnny Castle, Simon Dexter and a couple of other screen studs you may have heard of (Forest also recently added porn stars Brent Corrigan and Leo Giamani to his Premiere Artists roster for live appearances). Gee, we wonder whether this soccer ball photo shoot was Forest’s idea. Oh, we get it. Dougie looks a bit like soccer star David Beckham (although we think he’s a dead ringer for K-Fed in that top pic—before he gained the weight, of course!). Anyhoo, porno Beckham is launching his own Web site (www.DouglasBeckham.net) and has just returned from Costa Rica where he shot a bunch of XXX scenes for the straight side. And he did a few gay ones too, including one with Jonathan Lowe. (Didn’t he retire!?) We hear that Becks turned down an offer from a major online studio because he wants to produce his own scenes. Who doesn’t? Forest assures us that Premiere Artists will start booking Beckham for live appearances soon. Maybe he’ll bring his soccer ball! For more information, visit ThePremiereArtists.com.
