RIP, Superstar Auteur Gino Colbert
It was just last week that we learned of the death of gay porn star Blue Blake in London at age 52. Now, we can confirm that legendary director Gino Colbert has also passed away. (The two men were frequent collaborators.) It’s been reported that Colbert, 58, had a heart attack at his home in Hollywood last August. This was a sad end for a man who spent many years in front of the camera as a model and then behind it as an award-winning writer, producer and director of films in the gay, straight, bisexual and trans genres.
Colbert helmed countless titles for numerous studios before starting his own Gino Pictures imprint. He had a hand in discovering Joey Stefano, the Rockland brothers and many other big-name porn stars. Originally from Toledo, Ohio, Colbert started as an assistant to straight porn director Joe Sarno (subject of the 2013 documentary A Life in Dirty Pictures) in the late 1970s in New York. Eventually he made his way to Los Angeles, where he worked for VCA/HIS, Leisure Time, Metro and New Age Pictures, creating classic movies such as Three Brothers, Porn Fiction, Men in Blue, Jeff Stryker’s Underground, Night Walk and The Matinee Idol (starring Ken Ryker). And who could forget 1994’s Tijuana Toilet Tramps (featuring Stefano)!? Colbert later turned his love for theater into a stage career, touring in Ronnie Larsen plays such as Scenes From My Love Life, 10 Naked Men, All-Male Peep Show and Shooting Porn: Live On Stage. He was also involved in Larsen’s 1997 film documentary Shooting Porn.
In recent years, Colbert oversaw the annual Hall of Fame induction presentation at the now-defunct GAYVN Awards and helped Robert Van Damme (below with Gino in 2009) with the launch of his RVD Productions. He was also a guest speaker at UC Santa Barbara graduate film program, and he was honored with an annual film festival dedicated to his work at the former Tomkat Theatre in West Hollywood. While he had stepped away from the business, Colbert remained a devoted movie buff and fan. He was also one of nicest and most thoughtful guys you could ever meet—in or out of the industry. RIP, sweet man.

News: Erik Rhodes Dead at 30
PHOTO BY VINCENT LAMBERT
It’s a sad day for gay porn as Falcon Studios has confirmed the passing of superstar Erik Rhodes. The New York–based model is believed to have died of a heart attack in his sleep early this morning. He had turned 30 in February. Rhodes worked with the San Francisco–based Falcon for eight years as an exclusive. He debuted in 2004’s Super Soaked and went on to appear in more than 30 films, including Fleet Week, Ringside and Pledgemaster: The Hazing. He also directed eight movies for the studio’s Mustang line.
In an official release, Falcon states, “Erik was an equally beautiful human being who lit up a room, and brought fun and joy to our studio and his fans that was unparalleled. He was a giving person with a special wit, and he put his all into every performance. [Erik, we] are celebrating your life and your achievements, but we will miss you and all the special moments you have given us forever.”
As news of his death spread, friends, fans and industry vets immediately started weighing in on Twitter with fond memories of the porn icon. And although he will be remembered for his award-winning body of work (and some of the fun, crazy things he did), Rhodes was often known more for his private life and the personal demons that haunted him. In his online blog, the buff bodybuilder was brutally honest about his bouts with drug abuse, depression and addiction.
On a personal note, we only met him once at a GAYVN event in San Francisco, where the above pic was taken in 2008. He was a big, strapping man who commanded much attention, seemingly to his own surprise. We hope that he’s finally found the peace that eluded him in life.
Falcon has created a special “Celebrating Erik Rhodes” memorial page on the studio’s blog where fans can leave messages for Erik and his loved ones. To leave your message, click here.

News: Roman Ragazzi Passes Away
We’re sad to say that reports of porn star Roman Ragazzi’s death are true. Details are still unknown, but the onetime Raging Stallion exclusive was found dead in his NYC home over the weekend. He was 38. Ragazzi was known for performing in films such as Tailpipes, Grunts, Playback and Savage in 2007 and 2008. He was also named RSS’s Man of the Year and won a GAYVN Award for Best Sex Scene (with Ricky Sinz) in 2008. In the early days of this site, we covered him extensively, including the controversy surrounding the high-profile job he quit after being outed in The New York Post.
Israeli-born Ragazzi went on to start his own business and become a personal trainer. He recently modeled in a swimwear photo shoot in the February issue of Out magazine, but he mostly distanced himself from the industry. Director and friend Michael Lucas tells VincentLambert.com: “Roman was a true Israeli, tough outside yet gentle inside. I feel terrible and guilty that I was not there for him more. My deep condolences to his family and friends.” We knew Roman a bit over the years and always found him to be a sweet and smart man. And if you’ve ever seen his movies, you know how beautiful he was. Thankfully, his work lives on. RIP, RR.

News: Superstar Ken Ryker to “Hang Out”
Anyone remember Ken Ryker? You know, big guy with a big dick? Hasn’t made a movie in years? Well, the Premiere Artists agency has just announced that Big Ken will be making his first-ever live appearances at Micky’s in West Hollywood next month as part of the Ryker Hangs Out tour. The porn superstar, now 39, is set to “hang out” with fans. He’ll sign autographs, pose for pictures and do a Q&A session with host Scotty B. But there will be “no stripping, no jacking off.” No way! (Hooker lovers, take note: Ken is also available for “private meetings.”)
Talent manager David Forest tells us that “response from gay clubs nationwide, in just the first few days, has been overwhelming.” And additional dates for Ken to hang out will be announced as they are confirmed. That’s good because GAYVN Hall of Famer Ryker will be kicking off a month of Forest-fueled events at Micky’s Cocktails With the Stars in May. Following Ryker’s appearance on May 5, muscle hunk Zeb Atlas is set for May 19 (to plug his new self-produced Zeb Atlas Is the Boyfriend film) and sexy Jason Crew is scheduled for May 26 (to celebrate his 10-year anniversary in the big biz). For more information, visit ThePremiereArtists.com.

Seen: Zeb Atlas at Cocktails in the Forest
It was the month that was. Talent manager David Forest wrapped up five weeks of his smashing September Cocktails in the Forest series at Micky’s last week with superstar Zeb Atlas (above with Adam Killian). Muscleman Atlas celebrated his 40th birthday at the show and announced that he is once again filming hard-core man-on-man sex, this time for his own production company. And yes, he tops recent GAYVN Award winner Killian in one scene! Speaking of winners, porn legend Sharon Kane was also on hand to talk about her GAYVN Trailblazer Award, which director Chi Chi LaRue presented to her at this year’s event. Veteran porn star Scott Sloan (below) also helped David meet and greet Weho porn fans. The man of the trademark Hawaiian shirts tells us that during the month, he, along with host Scotty B., welcomed more than a dozen porn stars, plus a transsexual, a singer-songwriter, a superstar director, a twink, a radio personality, a former client and so many others. We hear that an offer to produce a holidays Cocktails has been floated to Forest. We’ll see whether he can resist the deal—and the madness!

Event: Cocktails in the Forest, Final Week
David Forest knows how to go out with a bang! Tonight is the big finale in the talent manager’s September series of Cocktails in the Forest at Micky’s in West Hollywood. Sure, we hear that last week’s show was pretty special as porn superstar Robert Van Damme (below) was joined by twink newcomer Jayden Ellis for some fun and games. And the night got even more entertaining as Twinklight star Ellis brought along two of his roomies and co-stars Krys Perez and Brice Carson. That’s a lot of twink action! In fact, the audience liked them so much that the trio might be heading out on the road for a tour of clubs and bars. Break out the Nair!
For tonight’s closing show, host Scotty B. welcomes muscle hunk Zeb Atlas (above), who is celebrating his 40th birthday. No way! Helping him to blow (out the candles) will be veteran porn stars Adam Killian (who bottomed for Atlas in this movie) Sharon Kane (fresh from her Trailblazer Award win at the GAYVNs) and Scott Sloan. Sirius Radio host Derek Hartley of The Derek and Romaine Show will also be on hand. Cocktails in the Forest runs from 6 to 9 pm at Micky’s (8857 Santa Monica Blvd.).

TOP PHOTO COURTESY ROLLING BLACKOUTS
Raging Stallion rages on! For the third year in a row, the San Francisco–based studio took the top prize at the GAYVN Awards, which were handed out on Friday night. Comedian Alec Mapa hosted the show at the Castro Theatre, where RSS’s big-budget Focus/Refocus epic took four of the six awards it was nominated for, including Best Feature Release, Best Director (Chris Ward, Tony Dimarco and Ben Leon in a tie with Joe Gage for Dad Takes a Fishing Trip), Best Supporting Actor (Steve Cruz) and Best Videography. But it was Channel 1 Releasing that took home the most awards (six), for its various C1R, Rascal and All Worlds Video imprints, including Best Affiliate Program, Best Live Webcam/Webshow and Best Web-Based Marketing. They also nabbed the Best-Renting Title award for Steven Daigle: XXXPOSED. Former Big Brother reality star Daigle made a splash in his GAYVN debut by wearing only a cowboy hat on-stage. Lucas Entertainment walked off with three awards, including Best-Selling Title for Men of Israel and Best Alternative Release for Men in Stockings, though company president Michael Lucas was not there to accept. On the porn star side, Logan McCree (above) won Best Actor for RSS’s The Visitor; Conner Habib was voted Best Newcomer; and Rafael Alencar took Best Cumshot for Lucas’s Wall Street. It was also a good night for the Brents, as Brent Corrigan was named Web Performer of the Year, and C1R exclusive Brent Everett got Best Porn Star Site and Overall Fan Favorite. Speaking of fans, Sister Roma edged out Chi Chi LaRue and Jason Sechrest for the fan-voted GAYVN Personality of the Year, and Wilfried Knight received the coveted Performer of the Year title. Other highlights: Best Fetish Release went to Hot House’s Skuff 4, and Best Sex Comedy was Dominic Ford’s Harry Potter satire Whorrey Potter and the Sorcerer’s Balls. Director Gino Colbert once again did the Hall of Fame inductions, this year for Ryan Block, Mike Donner, Bill Marlowe, Matthew Rush and Mickey Skee. Filmmaker Pat Rocco was recognized with the Lifetime Achievement Award. To see a complete list of winners, click here.…Also this weekend, Raging Stallion announced its annual Man of the Year at a party at Suite 181. Once again, one man was not enough, and president Chris Ward named exclusives D.O. and Adam Champ as this year’s co-titleholders. “The selection process was very difficult as we have a group of exclusives who are the finest actors in the business,” Ward says. “D.O. and Adam, however, rank as the top performers in our industry and I am proud to have them both as the top representatives of our company.” D.O. has already starting filming for the studio after ending a deal with Black Scorpion, and Champ recently gave up his job as a COLT Man (with hubby Carlo Masi) to make the move to RSS.…On Sunday, leather and fetish studs and their furry admirers gathered for the annual Folsom Street Fair. So basically every porn star from every other weekend event was seen, including Samuel O’Toole, Landon Mycles (killer abs!) and James Jameson (below). Congrats to all. Now go take a nap, you guys!

Event: Cocktails in the Forest, Week 4
We’re deep in the forest this week…and the shit!? Cocktails in the Forest is back at Micky’s (8857 Santa Monica Blvd.) tonight in West Hollywood. And in case you heard whisperings of alleged shenanigans before last week’s event—which featured Channel 1 Releasing directing diva Chi Chi LaRue (who we hear had an absolute “blast” at some ill-fated awards show we won’t name) and pornsters Steven Daigle and Samuel Colt (all pictured below)—please know that talent agent David Forest has released a statement saying, “Sometimes, one finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time. Last week’s incident falls under that heading. The matter has been dropped. No charges have been filed.” Hmmm, sounds mysterious. Oh well, who cares?! Seriously, kids, relax, it’s only gay porn!
This week, our good buddy Robert Van Damme joins our new buddy Jayden Ellis (both above) as host Scotty B. welcomes a dapper guest co-host (Forest in formalwear) to the stage. And it’s all in tribute to tomorrow night’s GAYVN Awards in San Francisco. Full disclosure: As a longtime GAYVN judge, Vince was invited by Ms. Forest to be on the panel, but our first-class ticket (bus ticket?!) to L.A. never materialized. Big sigh. Anyway, Cocktails in the Forest runs every Thursday in September from 6:30 to 9 pm at Micky’s. One more week, you guys! For more information, visit ThePremiereArtists.com.

Short Takes: GAYVN Noms Released…and More
AVN Media Network made it official early last week and announced the nominees for this year’s GAYVN Awards. Lucas Entertainment led with 15 nominations, the majority going to its Inside Israel and Wall Street. Raging Stallion Studios followed with 14 nominations, mainly for its Focus/Refocus. “We had an impressive number of pre-nominations this year from across the spectrum,” AVN COO Janet Gibson says. “The nominating committee was tireless in its efforts to whittle the list down to a manageable size, but…difficult decisions had to be made.” (Full disclosure: Vince is serving as a GAYVN judge.) Gibson added that two categories were dropped this year and bareback movies would not be eligible for consideration, though they might be added next year. Later in the week, AVN made more news with the addition of four new categories that will be decided by fans: Best Top, Best Bottom, Best Versatile (that about covers it) and Overall Fan Favorite (let the Twitter campaigns begin!). To vote for your man, click here. The 12th Annual GAYVN Awards will take place on Friday, September 24, at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco. They will be hosted by comedian Alec Mapa and be presented by NakedSword the same weekend as the Folsom Street Fair. For a complete list of nominees, click here.…In porn star news, we have an update on former bondage star Mikey Verdugo. It was just two years ago that we told you about this Florida police officer who did a movie, Rope Rituals, for kink director Tom “Ropes” McGurk under the name Jeremy Wess back in the mid-’90s. Verdugo went on to appear on as a contestant on HGTV’s Design Star reality show. When Verdugo’s employer discovered his porn past, he was suspended and eventually dismissed from the police force. Now, Verdugo, 36, has been placed on one-year probation and will be able to keep his police certification. He is also suing over his dismissal and that case will come up in November. Soldier on, stud!…On a more upbeat note, Falcon star Aden Jaric took to his Twitter to say that he’s moving on and will be shooting a scene for the first time with someone other than his ex, Jordan Jaric. “I’ll be filming my first video [since] the breakup!” Jaric wrote. “Falcon Studios, of course!” So who’s the lucky bottom (or is that top!?) to appear with adorable Aden? None other than (over) XXXposed star Steven Daigle. The scene films this week.…And on a final note, porn party boy Mason Wyler (below) got serious last week by announcing on his blog that he is HIV-positive. “I have only myself to blame,” he writes. “I have HIV and it kind of sucks.” Wyler has appeared in numerous films for major studios, including Falcon, Titan and Jet Set Men, in addition to Web work for Suite 703 and Next Door Entertainment. Raging Stallion head Chris Ward jumped in to support the beleaguered star with an offer to work for his studio. “Raging Stallion practices safe sex on all of its video shoots,” Ward says. “HIV status should not be an issue when shooting porn if the actors are using condoms and using common sense. [We] would love to shoot Mason Wyler in an upcoming movie. He is a great actor and I have always wanted to work with him.” Wyler has not responded to the offer or much of the controversy surrounding him after an industry blog war erupted last week. Nuff said.

Short Takes: GAYVNs Get a Host…and More

It may not be happening until the fall, but the GAYVN Awards got some press last week before everyone left for the long holiday weekend. Yes, the annual Oscars of gay porn now have a host! Hysterical comic Alec Mapa (who is lovingly known as America’s Gaysian Sweetheart) has been tapped to helm the show (the former Ugly Betty star co-hosted last year with Margaret Cho and Janice Dickinson). This will be the 12th go-round for the GAYVNs, which are scheduled for September 24 at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco. The show, which will have a prison theme this year and be presented by NakedSword, will once again be part of the legendary Folsom Street Fair weekend. Other scheduled events include a bar crawl through the SoMa district, the Magnitude party and the Lockdown after-party. For more information, visit GAYVNAwards.com.…There’s another new porn pup on the horizon. Adorable Lee Stephens has just joined the DV8 Casting family. Yes, that is blogger and publicist Jason Sechrest’s company of cuties. Some are saying that 23-year-old Stephens (who is a top, in case you were wondering) will soon be starring for Channel 1 Releasing. He’s already worked for Falcon and Studio 703. So what you think? Does the dude, who’s hung with nine-and-a-half inches, look like fodder for a Chi Chi LaRue flick!? To see more, visit DV8Casting.com.…Scotty B. is taking his act on the road. L.A.’s Cocktails With the Stars host is taking his popular Casting Couch event from Las Vegas and bringing it to sweltering NYC for one night only. And tonight is the night! Scotty tells us that he, in conjunction with NickYoungXXX.com and Odyssey Magazine, will be invading the Stonewall Inn (53 Christopher Street) from 9 to 11 pm along with his usual posse of hot porn guys. Scheduled to appear are: Raging Stallion Man of the Year Austin Wilde (below), Alessio Romero, Arpad Miklos, recently retired Ryan Raz, NYC’s own Mike Dreyden, Eddie Diaz, Bryan Slater and Mario Ortiz. See you guys there!

Short Takes: Brent Corrigan Films Safer-Sex PSA…and More
Porn superstar Brent Corrigan is riding the safer-sex train by filming a series of public-service announcements for DC FUK!T. The Washington, D.C. advocacy group notes that Corrigan’s “ability to learn from his professional mistakes years ago and change his behavior” were reasons that he is the right porn star at the right time to spread the word. They are obviously referring to some not-so-safe activities that Corrigan took part in early in his controversial career. “Brent has long since become an advocate for safer sex and has very publicly apologized for his past appearances in films depicting high-risk and unsafe sexual practices,” DC FUK!T founder Terry Gerace says. The first PSA shows Corrigan demonstrating how to use a condom. Two other videos dealing with sexual health have been filmed and will be released this summer. Veteran porn stars Matthew Rush and Will Clark have also done spots for the group. To view Brent’s ad, click here.…While the Grabbys will unspool later this month in Chicago, some porn fans are already looking ahead to when the 2010 GAYVN Awards will be presented on September 24. Well, now we know where they will be handed out. AVN Media Network has secured San Francisco’s historic Castro Theatre for the 12th edition of the show, which has taken place there twice before (once famously with Kathy Griffin as host). The awards gala will be part of four days of events in conjunction with the Folsom Street Fair. Web categories are included in this year’s GAYVN lineup, as well as a new special Personality of the Year award.…Just because a company produces gay porn doesn’t mean that’s all it can do. British production company Eurocreme has gone and signed a boy band creatively named Boy Banned. The pop group features four European model types. The cuties have already recorded a single titled “One World” (available soon on iTunes) and will be making their debut at Berlin Pride on June 19. Gee, you think they’re being marketed to a gay audience or something?! “Boy Banned has enormous talent and is a fantastic edition to our portfolio,” says Eurocreme founder Max Lincoln, who has also directed films such as this and this. “I was really impressed with their songs and boundless energy.” For more information, visit boybanned.com.
