News: Kazan and Bjorn to Join Forces

LucasKazan.com and KristenBjorn.com announced last week that they will be working jointly on many projects, from online content to marketing.

“Sharing resources and strategizing together let us compete more effectively in an ever more competitive environment,” director Lucas Kazan says. “We’ll offer customers more quality content more often. Finally, we’ll be better equipped to face the challenges and to seize the many opportunities out there.”

Director Kristen Bjorn adds, “Lucas Kazan and I have long enjoyed that special relationship. We have co-produced many award-winning videos from 2000 to 2005. I’m confident we shall take the same excellence and the same eroticism online.”

Kristen Bjorn Productions, now in its 21st year of operation, will be revamping kristenbjorn.com and recently added a VOD theater. Established in 1998, Lucas Kazan Productions celebrates 11 years in the biz. Both founders have been inducted into the GAYVN Hall of Fame.

Event: Robert Van Damme Party in L.A.

PHOTO BY VINCENT LAMBERT

Porn superstar Robert Van Damme will celebrate the launch of his new studio, RVD Productions, at North Hollywood’s premier leather bar this Sunday, May 31. The Bullet Bar (10522 Burbank Blvd.) will host the event/DVD giveaway from 5 to 9 pm, which will feature surprise guest porn stars from Van Damme’s new releases, a BBQ and go-go boys.

Van Damme, who is a native of the Czech Republic, began his porn career in 2002 with director Blue Blake. Since then, he has starred in more than 25 movies as a model, and now he is starting his own studio with the help of veteran director Gino Colbert. Together, they have produced six movies (Private Party 1, 2 and 3; Anal Intruder; Butt Bouncers; and Cocks in Paradise) under his new label. (And yes, the rumors are true: Van Damme bottoms for Tyler Saint in the final installment of Private Party. We have an advance copy and it is worth the wait, guys!)

We are also hearing that Van Damme, who was a professional hockey player before he became a screen stud, will be taking the stage to strip out of his leather gear. Sounds like a night to remember! For more information, visit RobertVanDamme.net.

Seen: Newlyweds D’Macho and Crosse in Spain

The grooms cut the cake! How cute is that? Diesel Washington was telling truths when he announced at the Grabbys that two of his good buddies were busy tying the knot. Francesco D’Macho and Damien Crosse were indeed married in Spain last weekend. The porn star couple exchanged vows at a country house just outside Madrid before a small gathering of family and friends who came from all over the world. We hear that the ceremony was quite touching, and Francesco cried like a little girl when Damien was reading his promise. Awwww. See? Porn stars have feelings too! Good thing these Stag Homme Studios studs don’t live in California.
