News: Porn Stars Get Foreign TV Coverage


Who knew porn stars were so telegenic? Or at least on foreign soil they are. A few industry studs were recently featured on TV broadcasts abroad. First, COLT Men supercouple Carlo Masi (above) and Adam Champ appeared on the Italian TV show Chiambretti Night. Now from what we hear, this is one of the most-watched shows in all of Italy. And from the looks of the crazy clip linked here, it’s sort of a parody of a bad variety show—a scarfed Masi holds forth from a throne with his lap dog as a pair of overweight twins (not the Peters!) in matching sweaters twiddle their thumbs and some blonde chick with bunny ears swoops in on a swing. Even though the show is in Italian (no subtitles), we figured out (Vince is Italian, after all) that the real-life boyfriends were talking about their relationship and showing how they cast their famous cocks for COLT’s line of dildos. This is what they show on TV in Italy!? To view the insanity, click here.

Meanwhile, on National Israeli Television, the newsmagazine Channel 1 filmed Lucas Entertainment president and CEO Michael Lucas and exclusive model Jonathan Agassi as they shot the Lucas smash Inside Israel. The show (again with no subtitles) features porn superstar Lucas (whose interview is in English) talking about growing up gay and how he hopes that his current films will attract queer tourists to the country. In one touching segment, Agassi is interviewed with his mother (below). “Watching the news report from Tel Aviv about my Israeli films was amazing,” Lucas says. “This channel is the main news network in the nation. The entire country was watching, and Jonathan Agassi’s mother stood proudly by her son, in full support of his career. I was moved by the love she showed, and it was so nice to see Jonathan being incredibly moved by the words of his mother.” To watch the in-depth report, click here.

Thanks, Vince for giving me my 'Awww' moment of the day. =) I'm always very touched whenever I hear in interviews how supportive the stars' families are to their work. But more than that: it's the love they have for their children overall that moves me. It never mattered to me or my parents or rest of my family that my brother was gay. What mattered was that we loved him. And that was gorgeously shown here between Agassi and his mother. What matters most to parents ultimately is that their children are happy in their lives and what they have chosen to do.
