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.

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.

Seen: Ryan Idol at Forest Cocktails in L.A.

Look who returned to gay porn (or at least a gay porn–related event) while we took a brief hiatus. Yes, that’s Ryan Idol you see pictured above. The porn superstar, who hasn’t been spotted in a dog’s age (or since he appeared in The Ritz on Broadway a few seasons back), turned up last week for a night of the David Forest–produced month of Cocktails With the Stars at Micky’s in West Hollywood. From what we hear, Idol started the evening with a macho mustache, which was gone by the time he left the building. Also in attendance were Chi Chi LaRue (who directed Idol in some of his biggest hits from the ’90s); Trevor Knight; Dean Monroe; and DJ Dominic Pacifico. Forest claims this will probably be Ryan’s “last appearance in the adult arena.” But haven’t we heard that tune before!? (Like in this interview we did with Idol in 1997!) Forest Cocktails, hosted by Scotty B, continues with muscle hunk Zeb Atlas this Thursday. For more info, visit ThePremiereArtists.com.

Seen: Canned Ham Star Gus Mattox in NYC

PHOTO BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Actually, his name is Tom Judson now, but most of our readers know him as porn superstar Gus Mattox. That doesn’t mean he’s not also a multitalented singer, actor, writer, pianist—and dancer, despite what he claims in his hit one-man show, which is currently playing at Dixon Place (161A Chrystie Street) in New York City. Canned Ham has been on the road for a bit (it played in Provincetown last summer), and now it’s finally in tip-top shape (like Tom himself). The play, written by the star and directed by Kevin Malony, tells the story of how Judson went from playing on Broadway and in road companies of Cabaret and 42nd Street to become the star of porn films such as this and this. In between, he falls in love, loses his partner to AIDS and finds the courage to build a new life. It’s all very uplifting and inspirational for the gays, but it’s also funny (tales of fellow porn stars Pierre Fitch and Francois Sagat had the audience roaring), warm (Chi Chi LaRue, who discovered Judson many years ago on a cold night in Minneapolis, is fondly recognized) and touching (the finality of scattering the ashes of his dead lover). And how can you deny the many talents of a gorgeous guy who parades around in a jockstrap (at age 50!) and plays 12 different musical instruments throughout the 80-minute show? Hey, whatever Judson lacks in dancing skills, he makes up with sheer charm. Canned Ham (named after the rebuilt camper in which Judson tours the country) closes out its run tonight through Saturday. Don’t miss it! For more information, visit DixonPlace.org.

Seen: Porn Stars at BPX and Hookies in NYC

PHOTOS BY BRUCILLA X

Okay, so it looks like we survived another year of the Black Party. No reported overdoses or fatalities…yet! (Death by fisting!? Ouch!). Last weekend’s events kicked off with BPX: The Black Party Expo at Roseland in NYC. The usual assortment of pornsters and fans turned out to peruse the booths and perhaps pick up a dildo or buttplug on sale.

As the evening unfolded, so did the 2011 International Escort Awards (aka the Hookies). This fifth-annual celebration of the guys who rent (by the hour) got off to a fun start with a sexy dance number by the Daisy Spurs troupe and an onstage mooning from the men of Lucas Entertainment. It was during this portion of the show that porn star Rafael Alencar got up close and personal with one thirsty audience member (and fan, we hope!) by pissing in his mouth. Yuck! Yum! By the time diminutive Leslie Jordan came out to host, the crowd was thirsty for some awards. Jordan proclaimed himself the perfect host for the event because he had hired his first hooker at the age of 14!

Then it was on to the presentations, and multi-hyphenate porn stars/escorts were well represented: Samuel Colt won Best Porn Star; Alessio Romero was awarded Best Tattoos (which he explained were in honor of his sobriety); Ben Andrews was named Biggest Cock (no surprise there); Logan Stevens took Best Newcomer (though in his speech he seemed to think he was winning for Best B.O.); and adorable Jayden Grey was named Best Boyfriend Fantasy (huh?). Presenters included Chi Chi LaRue (who also spun); Michael Lucas; Robin Byrd; Michael Musto; Derek Hartley; and a bizarre Sarah Palin impersonator.

Seen (from top): Jayden Grey; Samuel Colt with boyfriend Chris Porter (and his love bite); Alessio Romero; the always subtle Rafael Alencar and his banana; oversize winner Ben Andrews; porn couple Phillip Aubrey and Spencer Reed with Adam Killian; porn veteran Michael Brandon, who hosted one of his Inappropriate Behavior bashes over the weekend; and host Leslie Jordan getting a boost from Arpad Miklos. More pics on the way, guys!

Event: Black Party Weekend

Pervy porn stars are winging their way to NYC as we type. And it’s all for the upcoming Black Party weekend being presented by the Saint at Large. Besides the notorious fetish-fueled event itself, there are also numerous other happenings to keep gay porn fans horned and happy. The fun kicks off this Friday, March 18, with the second-annual BPX: The Black Party Expo, which runs for two days and benefits the LGBT Center. Patrons are welcome to look behind the leather curtain to meet their favorite porn stars and shop for adult merchandise, including leather fashions, DVDs, books, sex toys, art and jewelry. Besides hosting the Black Party, Roseland (239 W. 52nd Street) is also home to the Expo this Friday (from 5 to 11 pm) and Saturday (from noon to 7 pm). Friday’s event will also be part of the preparty for this year’s Hookies International Escort Awards (perhaps you remember last year’s show…we don’t!), where pint-size comic Leslie Jordan will host and DJ Chi Chi LaRue will spin. (Also scheduled to appear at the Hookies are porn stars Spencer Reed, Michael Lucas, Adam Killian, Arpad Miklos, Rafael Alencar and Gus Mattox.) For more information, visit blackpartyexpo.com.

Then it’s on to Saturday night’s main event: Rites XXXII: The Black Party. As always, it will be a journey through the deepest and darkest dregs highlights of NYC nightlife. Providing the soundtrack will be three of clubland’s most prominent DJs (all making their Black Party debut!): 80R15 of Berlin (electro); Manny Lehman (tribal); and Danny Tenaglia (house). You don’t want to miss the music or the kinky, one-of-a-kind live sex shows. And remember, guys, dirty, filthy sex with multiple strangers is the best high—and it’s natural!

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.

Seen: Porn Stars at Micky’s in Weho

Okay, for all you bitchy queens who were hoping for World War IV at Micky’s in West Hollywood last Thursday night, we’re sorry happy to report that the weekly Cocktails With the Stars event went off without a hitch. In fact, from what we hear, superagent David Forest (now of The Premiere Artists) reunited with Howard Andrew (of FabScout Entertainment, and the guy who purchased David’s company when he “retired” a couple of years back), and everyone was too busy ogling the hot porn models in attendance to notice! Seen: Jayden Grey (above from left), James Jamesson, John Magnum, Trent Diesel, Trevor Knight (newly retired…again?), Dylan Roberts and Ari Sylvio. Also spotted: directors Chi Chi LaRue and Jake Cruise. During the show, Forest’s latest client Jamesson revealed to host Scotty B that he and Roberts have known each other for 10 years and are old buds from middle school. Small (porn) world!

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.
