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.

Short Takes: Jesse Santana Is Back…and More

Is it already Season 2 of Golden Gate?! Naked Sword is ramping up the heat factor for the second episode of the second season of its online series by bringing adorable Jesse Santana (above) back to our computers for a new scene with Sage Daniels. Last we heard of Jesse, he was working for Cockyboys and dating fellow porn star Guy Parker. (If anyone knows how that all ended up, leave a comment!) Well, now he’s back and showing off his banging bod in an episode titled “Unreal Estate,” which features a hot flip-flop fuck. And while we recall that Santana had at least one pierced nipple, the young stud now sports two and a Prince Albert. Sweet! The five-episode second season of Golden Gate also stars Riley Price, Tony Buff, Colby Keller, Ashley Ryder, Marcus Mojo (aka Landon Mycles), Jake Lyons, Tommy Defendi and Chris Porter (returning from Season 1). For more info, visit NakedSword.com.…Speaking of online series, Dominic Ford’s special four-episode Sports month is drawing to a close with an all-new encounter between Parker London and Topher DiMaggio. In the 3-D scene, the models are seen chilling out after their photo shoot. “We gave them some flavored lube and let them go to town!” director Dom says. “Topher kept his football shoulder pads on for most of the scene.” In case you forgot, this series prominently features the products of Swiss Navy and if you order by March 1, you can still get a free sample of its lubes and condoms. To learn more, go to DominicFord.com.…Boycrush Studios cutie Andy Kay (below) has been working on a project for several years, and he’s now ready to unleash it on the world! The multitalented model-writer-director of inventive works such as Twinkblood and A Nightmare on Twink Street says that Andy Kay’s Boycrush Tryouts was “almost solely created from fan input and requests. The scenes included in this DVD are with popular Boycrush models before they started their porn careers, so you get nothing but pure, hot sex.” The film features Felix Russo, Ashton Cody, Dean Holland, Seth Serenity (seriously!?) and Kyler Moss as they fuck for their lives—or at least a part in a Boycrush production. Tryouts ships this week. To view a NSFW trailer, click here. For more, visit store.boycrush.com.

The “Sports” series of scenes and photos (some will be included in an upcoming book from Ford) is available throughout the month of February and is viewable in both 2-D and 3-D. The first sports-inspired scene was released last week and is a threesome starring Steven Daigle (in his 3-D debut!), John Magnum and Shane Frost. Additional athletic episodes will feature Dylan Roberts (above), Topher DiMaggio and Parker London and, of course, Swiss Navy products, including its many lubes and masturbation creams (what ever happened to spit!?). For more information, visit DominicFord.com. Oh, and anyone who signs up for a membership will receive free Swiss Navy samples and condoms. Score!…Bel Ami is joining the video-on-demand club with the launch of BelAmiTV.com. The all-new state-of-the-art VOD platform features about 125 movies from the company’s catalog, including classic titles from the past as well as new releases from hunky Lukas Ridgeston (now a director). “While Bel Ami’s membership site, BelAmiOnline, is thriving at a record pace,” a company rep says, “we recognize some fans still want the option to watch full-length DVDs on a pay-per-minute basis. This platform is perfect for them and features Bel Ami’s most successful and memorable titles. Both new and classic fans will go crazy over them!” For more, visit BelAmiTV.com.…Speaking of innovations, New York–based Lucas Entertainment announced last week that its flagship site is now available for the iPad. “Technology is constantly shifting boundaries,” says Lucas Entertainment president and CEO Michael Lucas (below). “We are at the forefront of accessibility and strive to deliver our product in every way possible. On the iPad, our Web site delivers the full-screen convenience of getting off wherever you are because you never know when the mood will strike: on an airplane, at the beach, during family visits. Everyone needs a porn break.” (On a plane!? Hope your seatmate is a fan!) The Lucas Entertainment site on the iPad streams top-quality video-on-demand movies (more than 150 titles) on an HTML5 player that works with the tablet’s Safari Web browser, plus model and action photo galleries and individual scenes (two new scenes added weekly). Take a tour at lucasentertainment.com/tour2. NYC readers, take note: Lucas Entertainment is looking for a few good men to appear as nonsexual extras in a scene for an upcoming film that is shooting on Tuesday, February 15, from 10 am to 4:30 pm. All you have to do is sit at a bar, sip a cocktail and watch Adam Killian strip. If you’re interested, write to chris@lucasentertainment.com. Nice work if you can get it!

Short Takes: Riley Price Breaks Out…and More

Well, we were gonna open this week with an item about the new Manhunt app for both iPhone and Android, but it sucks. (Seriously, it takes forever to load, the GPS is way off, every other pic says “Too hot for iPhone” and you can’t even text on it! Back to the drawing board, Manhunt. Stick with Grindr, you guys.) So instead, we’ll tell you about Riley Price (above) and his new plans for the new year. The onetime Randy Blue exclusive (and ex of fellow porn star Trent Locke) has just signed with DV8 Casting and will now be pursuing major-studio work. He’s already booked an episode of Naked Sword’s online series Golden Gate and will be shooting for Falcon Studios later this month. “His enthusiasm for this industry is unparalleled,” DV8 owner/operator Jason Sechrest says of Price. “He loves what he does for a living and his passion for it is contagious.” That’ll help! For more info, visit DV8Casting.com.…On the biz side of the biz, XBIZ magazine is reporting that COLT Studio Group (and its current operators John Rutherford and Thomas Settle) has agreed to pay former COLT owner and founder Jim French and his Jim French Studios a $500,000 settlement. Earlier this year, French said that his studio still hadn’t been paid the bulk of a $2.2 million promissory note related to the sale of the company more than seven years ago. Renowned photographer and industry vet French founded the studio in 1967. The COLT line now includes subsidiary imprints Buckshot Productions, Minute Men and Olympus, in addition to a COLT-branded line of products that features fashion apparel, leather gear and novelties such as calendars and books. Let’s hope that the venerable studio will continue to showcase models and produce movies like this one.…Speaking of industry vets, director Lucas Kazan and his studio were the subject of an Italian documentary that recently aired on Sky/CurrentTV. Italian filmmakers Alberto D’Onofrio and Alessandra Ugolini spent a couple of days in October 2009 on the set of a Kazan film. The cast and crew, including porn stars Ettore Tosi (below), Jean Franko, Jordan Fox, Alex Magnum and Federico D’Angelo, were filmed for the 30-minute episode, which aired as part of the Business of Sex series.

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: Jet Set Comes to TV…and More

If you’re not getting enough gay porn in your daily life, well, Jet Set Men is here to bring you the latest in its award-winning muscle-and-jock brand of entertainment with JetSetMen.tv. This is the company’s very own video-on-demand and pay-per-view Web site for viewers who prefer to “Pay-As-You-Go,” which means no pesky monthly charges. “We moved into our own VOD/PPV network to meet demands of users who prefer to only pay for what they watch online as opposed to paying a flat membership fee every month regardless of usage,” VP of Marketing (and Twitter superstar) Rob Romoni says. The service offers full-length movies streaming in high quality for users with various Internet speeds. All videos are fully compatible with Mac and Windows. And fans have access to all the studio’s most popular titles, including ones starring new exclusive Angel Rock (above). For more information, visit JetSetMen.com.…Speaking of sexy new inventions, the good folks at COLT Studio Group have just released a potion called COLT Firm that will definitely firm up guys in all the right places. Take it away, press release! “This new supplement can create longer, stronger, harder erections within minutes. It can also dramatically increase ejaculate while intensifying orgasmic contractions, leading to more intense pleasure.” The company says that the capsule is safe, fast-acting and effective. It contains a combination of herbs and extracts, including bombyx mori, white willow bark, gouqi and oyster extract. Whatever that is! Oh, and it also helps with, er, preventing premature ejaculation and creating a “whiter load”! And for all our rabbi readers, it’s kosher! (No joke!). To learn more, click here.…Speaking of COLT, the studio and its Buckshot subsidiary have released its line of always-fabulous calendars for 2011. These guys are known for their numerous Couples, Leather, Jocks and Hairy Chested (our personal fave) calendars, so once again you can hang your favorite models on the wall to ogle on a daily basis. You can also download a monthly desktop version, like the one of multitalented stud Mitch Branson below. For more information, visit COLTStudioGroup.com. And we’ll be reporting on more hot calendars soon and holding our annual VincentLambert.com calendar contest before the new year hits. Stay tuned, you guys!

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.
