Event: Wakefield Poole Benefit in SF

Titan Media is honoring gay filmmaking pioneer Wakefield Poole (above) with a benefit in San Francisco tonight. Clips from Dirty Poole, an upcoming documentary about the legendary director of Boys in the Sand, Bijou and other seminal ’70s porn classics, will be shown at a fund-raising reception to help raise completion funds on Friday, May 7. It will take place at 7:30 pm in the Rainbow Room at the Chuck M. Holmes Campus of the LGBT Center (1800 Market Street). Poole and Sands producer Marvin Shulman are expected to attend the free event, along with That Man: Peter Berlin producer and Dirty Poole director Jim Tushinski, as well as some of the hunky men of Titan Media (rumor has it that this sexy ginger will be there). Donations are expected. (That’s what the hot models are for!) For more information, visit dirtypoole.com.

Event: Colton Ford Hosts DiLF in NYC

People always ask us, “Hey, whatever happened to [fill in obscure porn star name here].” In most instances, we haven’t the foggiest. But in the case of porn superstar Colton Ford, we know exactly what he’s up to and where! After a string of successful films, such as Porn Struck 2 and Bringing Out Brother, Ford didn’t really retire from performing. He just moved on to recording albums and making excellent music (and touring and appearing in music videos with Cyndi Lauper). Now the studly stud is taking on club promotions by hosting a night with his equally humpy boyfriend. The night is called DiLF (or Daddy I’d Like to Fuck), and it’s a new weekly event at G Lounge in Chelsea (where else?). Every Wednesday starting at 10 pm, Ford and BF Angelo Peterson welcome NYC’s hottest daddies and their admirers. There’s a roster of rotating DJs, including David Marc, Johnny Mack and Ted Nieves, and the bar states that “whether you’re a boy looking to be a toy, a daddy looking to mingle with a more mature crowd or simply on an LTR mission, this party promises to satiate even the crankiest of your midweek meltdowns.”

Ford himself recently told NEXT magazine, “It doesn’t really take being in your forties to be a daddy. I think a daddy is someone who carries himself in a certain way. They have a strong sense of self, are confident in who they are authentically and don’t have to put on airs. As opposed to ‘acting’ like a man, they just are.”

News: Rob Romoni Lands New Gig With Jet Set

Rob Romoni’s plate just got a bit fuller. Jet Set Men has announced that the award-winning porn superstar (and Twitter fanatic) is joining the studio as director of casting and marketing. Romoni, who has appeared in more than 30 films since 2002 and recently made a return to performing in movies such as Adrenaline, Dirty Muscle and Bad Cop Diaries, will continue to work as a model and do personal appearances in addition to his new position.

“I am blessed and excited to be working with Jet Set Men,” Romoni says. “This incredible opportunity doesn’t come very often where I can seek out fresh new talent, cultivate my business education and continue to do feature films and live appearances. The best is yet to come.”

Jet Set head Chris Steele says, “I am very proud to have Rob Romoni bring his expertise, creativity and industry knowledge as both a producer and a model to Jet Set Men. Rob is fun, he’s got a great personality and he knows this business inside and out. I’m very happy to be working alongside him again.”

Romoni will be on hand at the 2010 Grabby Awards in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend, where he will capture all the shenanigans for a video titled Romoni Does Chicago. We just hope all this work doesn’t affect his Tweeting schedule! You can follow Rob on Twitter @RobRomoni (follow us @VinceLambertNYC) and on his new Web site, gorobromoni.blogspot.com.

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.

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.
