Short Takes: Big Brother Star to Make Gay Porn Debut…and More

A former Big Brother houseguest is about to reveal even more of himself! Reality star Steven Daigle, who appeared in the 10th edition of the popular CBS series, has filmed his first gay porn movie for director Chi Chi LaRue and Channel 1 Releasing. (See what happens when Rob Romoni is your roommate?!) Steven Daigle: XXXPOSED features the former rodeo cowboy in a film that blurs the lines of fantasy and reality, and combines amateur-style footage with pro. It also stars Jeremy Bilding, Jimmy Durano and Josh Griffin (who share scenes with Daigle), plus Johnny Hazzard, Paul Wagner, Brandon Lewis and Slade. “I didn’t expect my life to take this path, but when I was presented with the opportunity, I dove in head first…literally,” Daigle told TMZ, which broke the story to the mainstream press. Texas native Daigle also did a photo shoot last week to appear on the May cover of Unzipped magazine. LaRue, who is almost as obsessed with Big Brother as we are, says that the movie is “unlike anything I’ve ever done or even seen. This is something both fans of amateur and fans of polished pornos will be able to fully enjoy.” Sounds great. Now when is Jeff Schroeder from Season 11 going to make the leap?

In fact, there was so much conjecture that the chief of parent company AVN Media Network had to release a statement. According to CEO Darren Roberts, the 12th installment of the popular event will take place in 2010. “There is absolutely no possibility the awards will be canceled, and we must put an end to these outrageous rumors,” Roberts says. “We’ve been doing this event for a long, long time, and we will continue to recognize gay adult companies for their achievements.” However, he added that the awards would be delayed “due to economic factors.” While last year’s show was co-sponsored by NakedSword, this year, AVN hopes to offset expenses by finding a major U.S. and international network that would broadcast the show on TV. The company used a similar tactic recently for the AVN Awards on the straight side of the industry. Roberts said additional information would be made public as soon as it is available. So stay tuned, Tweeters and Twats.…We’re sorry to report that Active Duty model Randy (below) has passed away.
