Los Angeles, CA– In an industry changing move- Ft. Lauderdale based, FabScout Entertainment, specializing in gay XXX talent booking, casting & production scouting has finalized a significant deal to acquire David Forest Entertainment & ForestMen.com, the premier gay talent management company & website, owned by veteran adult industry icon, David Forest.  Forest’s award winning “Meet The Stars” is also included in the acquisition, although it will no longer be used for “private connections.”

At an industry press conference held July 1st, 2008, at the Universal Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, East Coast based FabScout Entertainment announced the creation of “A truly national XXX Talent Management Company” and  “The number one source for male talent on both coasts.”

FabScout’s Howard Andrew explains, “Acquiring and adding David Forest’s talent roster and contacts to our already formidable pool of talent gives FabScout Entertainment unparalleled access to the biggest names and hottest talent in the US.”

FabScout, headed by Howard Andrew & his partner Gio, and their team, headed up by Matthew Lock will be taking over film, print, Internet and live representation of many of the Forest Stars and will now have a Los Angeles office in addition their Fort Lauderdale headquarters.  FabScout has helped nurture the high profile careers of Brad Star, Andrew Justice, Barrett Long, R.J. Danvers, Damien Crosse, Derrick Hanson, Jonathan Lowe, Kurt Wilde, Cole Ryan, Jackson Wild, Alexy Tyler, Robert van Damme, Bobby Clark, Joe Strong and many more.

David Forest, who will turn 60 in a few months, states: “I’ve had a wild ride in the XXX business … and … it’s now time to get off the speedway and begin to enjoy life a lot more.  I’m going to take the next several months for some much needed time off.  I wish Howard the absolute best  … he’s the ONLY person I’d hand over my business to.  He is a very hard working guy and I’m sure he’ll do an excellent job for my stars.”

David Forest began his storied career in adult entertainment by forming his management company in the summer of 1981, managing the careers of famous adult stars such as Jeremy Scott, Leo Ford, Tim Kramer, Lance and other 80’s gay stars.  In the early 90’s Forest signed Ryan Idol, Ken Ryker, Marco Rossi, Adam Hart, Kevin Williams and Tom Katt.  The Forest roster continued its rise in 2000 by adding more star power with the addition of Billy Herrington, Jeff Palmer, Billy Brandt, Eric Hanson, Jeremy Tucker, Chad Donovan, Caesar and Chris Steele.   In recent years, Forest has managed the careers of Mark Dalton, Jason Ridge, Rod Barry, Shane Rollins, Zeb Atlas, Johnny Castle and Tony Capucci.  Forest oversaw his stars’ work in film, print, Internet and live appearances.  His “Meet the Stars” division connected fans with their favorite top stars in the industry.

Howard says, “my team couldn’t be more excited about the acquisition of Forest Entertainment and having a West Coast presence.  We are particularly looking forward to significantly expanding our live appearance division.  With the Forest Entertainment reputation, its stars, and nearly 3 decades of success combined with our own resources, we will now have no problem making that happen.”

In the past six years FabScout Entertainment has quickly become the preeminent full service male talent management company within the adult industry.  FabScout has built a solid reputation for fair, honest and ethical dealings with both their models and clients.  It is this reputation that has catapulted FabScout into the position as the number one source of male talent today. With the acquisition of Forest Entertainment, FabScout is now positioned to be the nation’s largest and most well respected XXX talent management company holding offices on both the East and West coasts of the US.  FabScout Entertainment is a full service talent management company with focused attention on male model management, live event bookings, talent casting and location scouting.

Can’t get enough of thug superstar Tiger Tyson? Then take him on the road with you. Last week Pitbull Productions began distributing the exclusives image in a convenient, take anywhere car freshener.

The scented car freshener is the first ethnic porn-star car freshener ever made, according to Pitbull spokeswoman Patricia Reshen. The freshener, made to hang from a vehicle’s rearview mirror, is non-nude but sexy. It’s a clever way to reach out to Tiger’s female and male fan base. According to Reshen the air freshener has “a nice, clean, fresh ‘ocean’ smell [to compliment Tyson’s image]. He’s a clean-cut guy.”

The Tiger Tyson car freshener will be distributed nationally in selected car washes. There’s some good news for dedicated fans, though: Consumers who purchase DVDs from Pitbull’s Web store, Thugmart, will receive one free with every order. Additional Tiger Tyson car fresheners are available for $3.95 each.

Reshen said Pitbull doesn’t plan to stop there with Tyson logo items, either. A Tyson dildo already is on the market, and plans are in the works for a Tyson pump and cock ring. Can’t wait!

Los Angeles, CA- Channel 1 Releasing and Rascal Video are pleased to announce that the illustrious Chi Chi LaRue has wrapped filming of his latest feature film HAZZARD ZONE; starring Rascal Exclusive Superstar Johhny Hazzard.

Hazzard returns to the sets of the adult world after a year long hiatus. While Johnny may not have been getting down and dirty for the camera in the last year; he hasn’t fallen out of the lime light. Working as a fashion model for some major designers, and getting his feet wet in mainstream television on Here TV’s “The Lair”; Johnny has been anything but retired. “I’m thrilled to be back on the set with Chi Chi,” says Johnny Hazzard, “Channel 1 is the only adult studio I want to work with. I love all the mainstream work I’m doing now, but I’ll never forget where I came from.”

This scorching hot film features tons of nasty facial cum shots, huge dildo action, lots of spitting and men doing what men do best!

I hope we get to do it again very soon.”

If you ever come across porn star Jesse Santana don’t ask him if he’s an escort. In an open letter to the public Jesse, who most recently appeard in Titan’s Mens Room 3, spoke out about his pet peeve of people assuming he’s an escort. I can totally understand his frustration although I would assume that people don’t think of him as an escort in a bad way. I just think that perhaps they lust for him and think that one way to get next to him is as an escort, which let’s face it a lot of porn stars are. Still his open letter is a great read and a great inside into the mind of a fed up porn star.

Pornstar / Escort Where to Draw the Line

Escort, model, pornstar…these are simply job titles, all of which should be respected in their own right, but not to be confused.  Individual pornstars may also have separate job titles.  Some are doctors, some are teachers, some are bartenders, waiters, dancers, professional ice skaters, Olympic swimmers, and some…are escorts.  But more often than not, most pornstars have to struggle under the consistent assumption that all porn models are prostitutes as well.   Why should one title create another?  It’s honestly a shame that a porn model can’t be proud of his or her job, without it also being assumed that sex and/or services are up for sale.  And why is it that a large percentage of models are told, at one point or another, that in order to be a ‘bigger star’ they need to keep some would-be clients happy?  It’s the sad truth, but it’s wrong.  Pornstars should be liked for their performances on-screen, not off-screen.

First, let me simply say that my standpoint is not at all against escorting or escorts, but against the misled presumption that simply being a pornstar in today’s society automatically links you to being an escort as well.  Whereas, most of us pornstars would rather be associated with what we truly do as a profession.  In saying that, I only mean to offend the certain individuals who think that a room full of pornstars is the equivalent of a buffet with a complete carry-out/to-go menu.

Some may argue that both parties are paid for sex, but consider this…pornstars choose how to express themselves, whereas escorts are at the mercy of their clients desires.  Pornstars are selling a finished product, a scene or a DVD.  An escort’s product is his/her own body or time.  Adult film is completely legal and an honest form of acting, or entertainment rather.  The hard truth is that the core of most every escort’s business is prostitution, which is illegal in all but two states in the United States.  Porn models are paid by check by legitimate companies, whereas escorts are usually paid in cold hard cash by free-standing individuals.  It’s a free country, do what you choose…but many pornstars would rather not be directly categorized with illegal jobs and situations, such as prostitution.

Lately, I’ve been setting the gay porn world On Fire.  I have a strong relationship with a wonderful Guy and this topic means a lot to us, and certainly heavy on the minds of any other non-escorting pornstar.  We’re regular guys who enjoy our career as gay adult entertainers, but that where the line stops.  It’s depressing, infuriating, heartbreaking, nauseating, and most of all, sadly discouraging, that the general public and the porn industry itself, can’t realize that not all of us sell ourselves in such a way.  This specific, misconstrued perception of porn models is an extremely unsettling and disrespecting misconception that needs to be put to light and set straight, for the sake of every self-respecting pornstar’s morals and integrity.

Being asked to sell ourselves is not a compliment or flattering to us in any way.  Even if a certain pornstar were to escort as well, they probably don’t want to be approached for an escorting job while they’re representing themselves as a pornstar…I mean, a doctor doesn’t want to go to a party and be asked to give a woman a breast exam.  We’re not just a bunch of pretty faces, bubble butts, and big dicks…we pornstars have our own ideas, views, and voices…all of which need to be heard!  If you’re a pornstar who escorts, be proud of it.  But if you’re really looking for a good hott escort, please try rentboy.com
