News: Josh Weston Dead at 39

Porn superstar Josh Weston has passed away. It was announced yesterday that the 39-year-old model had died on Sunday, December 16. But today, Hot House, one of the studios he worked for, said that he had succumbed due to HIV-related complications. Weston got his start as a dancer at the Nob Hill Adult Theatre in San Francisco. There, he was seen by director Chi Chi LaRue and began his gay porn career in 2001 as an exclusive for Falcon Studios, where he appeared in films such as The Dark Side, Fleet Week and The Hunted, among others. He then went on to work for Hot House (in movies such as Trunks 3 and Communion), COLT Studio Group, Channel 1 Releasing and with co-stars such as Robert Van Damme and Tyler Saint (in The Muscle Pit). Later, he appeared in low-budget bareback scenes before dropping out of sight in 2009. Weston will be missed by his many fans.

News: RSS Signs Alexander Garrett

Studly Alexander Garrett is the latest model to sign with Raging Stallion Studios as an exclusive. The built and hung hunk was handpicked by RSS president Chris Ward and is currently starring in the new release Alley Cats. “I’ve had my eye on Alexander Garrett since he started performing,” Ward says, “and noticed that he recently had done the work that would make him a superstar. I was elated when he agreed to sign a long-term exclusive contract with Raging Stallion, because we plan on taking him to the top.” Says Garrett, who previously appeared in this film for Channel 1 Releasing and Top Service for Lucas Entertainment, “I’ve always wanted to work with Raging Stallion, and to be offered the amazing opportunity to be an exclusive is an honor that I only dreamed of.”

Alley Cats is the first major Raging Stallion film to be directed by porn star Tony Buff, who earlier this year was named director of fetish production for the San Francisco–based studio. “I’m extremely happy with the finished product,” Buff says. “The look and feel and, most importantly, the sex are exactly what I was hoping for, thanks to an amazing cast and talented crew.” Besides Garrett, the all-star cast also includes Tom Wolfe, Angelo Marconi, Ben Brown, Jessie Coulter, Kieron Ryan, Mitch Vaughn and Marc Dylan.

New Release: Black Balled 8

It’s time to ball again! Channel 1 Releasing and director Chi Chi LaRue have announced the release of the latest in its interracial series (which began in 1998!), Black Balled 8: Behind the Eight Ball. The movie stars newcomer Dylan Hauser, who is on the receiving end of things (if you know what we mean) from 10 cocoa studs, including Hot Rod, Aron Ridge, Scott Alexander, Lawson Kane, Sean XL and Angyl Valantino. Cutie Hauser also has “a mind-blowing intimate moment with a pool cue,” according to LaRue, who adds that this is “one of the nastiest interracial gang bangs ever caught on film.” Perhaps since Black Balled 7!? Oh, and the popular series even has its own (11-inch!) black dildo. For more information, visit C1R.com.

Short Takes: Hazzard on Blue Side…and More

Porn superstar Johnny Hazzard (above) has flown the coop—the Channel 1 Releasing coop, that is. Following many years as a C1R exclusive, the tattooed screen stud has joined the Randy Blue crew online. Hazzard, who made his debut in 2003, has appeared in about 40 films, including his award-winning role in Wrong Side of the Tracks, In His Dreams and Hazzard Zone. He has also done mainstream acting on here! TV’s The Lair, modeled for Boy George and designed his own fashion line. “Always one to try new things, Johnny has signed on with Randy Blue and is ready to start banging his way through our roster of naked gay muscle hunks and horny college guys,” a Randy Blue rep confirms. Hazzard’s first scene on the site is a solo. For more information, visit RandyBlue.com.…While we’re on the subject of exclusives, another online studio has announced a new one, but we haven’t seen his face yet! To celebrate its two-year anniversary, DominicFord.com has divulged the signing of a new model named Bryce Evans. (His perfect torso is pictured below.) Anyone heard of this guy? Evans will be featured in a series of ad campaigns and weekly updates throughout April. But we’ll have to wait until spring, when his first hard-core scenes are released, to see the rest of him. “Bryce has never been seen on film before, is completely new to the industry and is the total package,” director Dom Ford says. “I can’t wait to share him with the world.” We can’t wait either!.…Awards season will soon be upon us (didn’t it just end!?), so it’s only fitting that we mention the upcoming Grabby Awards (set for May 28 in Chicago). We just found out that porn star Shane Frost has been picked to be one of the co-hosts this year. The Boston native will join perennial hosts Chi Chi LaRue and Honey West, plus British stud Dean Monroe and kinkster Tony Buff. Frost follows in the footsteps of fan-voted favorites such as Wolf Hudson, Jeremy Bilding and Roman Heart. Tickets for the big show go on sale April 4. To learn more, visit Grabbys.com.

News: AEBN Buys Falcon Studios for Merger With Raging Stallion

The porn world just got smaller. Major video-on-demand provider AEBN has acquired Falcon Studios and plans to merge the venerable company, which was founded by Chuck Holmes in 1971, with Raging Stallion Studios. The press releases says that this will form “the single largest all-male erotic production company in the world.” (Didn’t Channel 1 Releasing say that when they were buying up the gay porn world a while back!? But we digress…) These two San Francisco–based studios, along with Naked Sword and the Gunzblazing affiliate program, will form the gay division of AEBN.

“We are all really excited by this merger,” says RSS president Chris Ward, who will head up the combined studio and direct for both. “Falcon and Raging Stallion are two of the top gay brands and merging means we will be able to produce some really good porn! Falcon has a huge history and I cannot even begin to express what this means to me personally and professionally. We will raise the bar to new heights, achieving more together than either company could on its own.”

Employees of both studios will be integrated into a single staff responsible for the production of nearly 60 new titles and more than 40 compilation titles per year. The combined company brings together 12 major DVD lines, each of which will maintain its own branding (Falcon has Mustang and Jocks; RSS includes Monster Bang, Twinks.com and Hairyboyz). The current Falcon membership site will remain in the Next Door Entertainment network while the current Raging Stallion sites will stay with Gunzblazing. DVD distribution channels for both companies will remain the same. All titles from both studios are available for viewing at NakedSword.com.

Short Takes: New Cocksure Star…and More

Jake Cruise has got a new man, and his name is Robert Axel (above). The studio that first employed the mocha-flavored stud has signed him up for an exclusive contract with its CocksureMen imprint. Axel made his debut on Cruise’s Straight Guys for Gay Eyes site before doing a solo for JakeCruise.com. (He even did a scene with the silver fox himself!) Robert joins other studio exclusives Kevin Crows (who co-stars in Axel’s first scene under the new contract), Brady Jensen, Guy Jones and Mitch Vaughn. The press release for the new scene promises: “Kevin’s eight-inch-thick piece of meat is a perfect match for Robert’s beautiful ass. Sideways, doggy-style or on their knees, these two guys continuously heat up the screen as well as each other.” Sounds like a sight for horny eyes! For more information, visit CocksureMen.com.…Another porn studio is phoning it in this week. That is, if you want to watch some top-notch gay porn on your handheld mobile device. Superstar director Kristen Bjorn has just announced that his impressive body of work will now be available for the iPhone. Hundreds of scenes from numerous hit titles, including ManWatcher, Thick as Thieves, Love Addiction and others, will be added weekly. For details, go to KristenBjorn.com.…And now a quick update on the latest scenes in the hot new Web-series craze we reported on a couple of weeks ago. Channel 1 Releasing’s Raising the Bar is offering up exclusive muscle hunk Mitchell Rock getting rammed by fellow exclusive Brent Everett (below)—and his trusty dildo, too! Chi Chi LaRue directs. Naked Sword is back with the second episode in its Golden Gate show, helmed by Chris Ward. This week, Raging Stallion exclusive D.O. gets busy with ginger Brit Kennedy Carter. To view an interview with the models in which they discuss their sexual likes and dislikes, click here. (Kennedy’s got a cute accent, btw.) And 3-D maven Dominic Ford wraps up his Coconut Cove series with a steamy fourth installment featuring porn star Jake Steel and fresh face Noah Springs making waves in a pool. Sounds splashy!

Short Takes: C1R Raises the Bar…and More

So now Web series are all the rage. Go figure! Last week it was Naked Sword weighing in with Golden Gate and Dominic Ford beating the drums for his new Coconut Cove. This week, Channel 1 Releasing is jumping in with Raising the Bar. This “provocative and original” online series (or so says the press release from publicist and Bar screenwriter Jason Sechrest) stars Adam Killian, Mitchell Rock, C1R exclusive Jimmy Durano, Steven Daigle (who, according to The Sword, has a Valentine’s Day date with a judge regarding his altercation with ex Trent Locke) and Conner Habib (above). Together they play five oversexed friends who attempt to outdo one another by capturing their sexual antics on amateur cams. Each episode features footage that the models shot themselves using their own cameras, phones and Web cams. This will be interspersed with professional glamour sequences shot by director Chi Chi LaRue (the company used a similar technique in Daigle’s first movie, XXXPosed). “We’re always looking for ways to combine what’s hot at the moment with what we’re really good at doing,” LaRue says. Also scheduled to appear in the first season of Bar are C1R exclusive Brent Everett, Landon Mycles, Jock Hudson, Jason Longh and newcomer Billy Byron. For more information, visit C1R.com.…Can you guess the latest porn star to get the Fleshjack treatment? Give up!? It’s none other than Canadian cutie Pierre Fitch, who is treating the many fans who voted for him in last spring’s competition with an official Pierre Dick, Mouth and Butt. (He shares the honor with the two Brents, Corrigan and Everett.) Each sex toy features different, um, “inner textures,” including one inspired by Fitch’s own Scorpio tattoo. Sounds…inneresting! For more information, click here.…Gay porn has another power couple! It was just last week that SF roomies Chris Porter and Samuel Colt (below, modeling Nasty Pig wear) revealed to The Sword that, as many suspected, they are sharing much more than the rent. Both models have done lots of work lately, but somehow in between all their porn shoots and far-flung travels, these two crazy kids found the time to fall in lust love. Maybe it was that trip to Disneyland!? Porter, who turns a tender 22 next month, is featured in Raging Stallion’s latest, Night Maneuvers (which is also Adam Champ’s RSS debut). He is, after all, still an exclusive. Colt, who is a couple of years older (cough), remains a Mustang Studios exclusive and appears in the new Depths of Desire, Part 2. Best of luck, you guys.
