With the ongoing recession and continued threat of piracy, 2009 may have been tough for the multi-billion dollar adult industry, but it was also Sasha Grey's most prominent thus far. With the leading role in Steven Soderbergh's labeled her "The Dirtiest Girl in the World" and Fleshbot included her in their Top Ten Crush Objects of 2009 (NSFW). So it's no surprise that she will be honored with The Jenna Jameson Crossover Star of the Year at the AVN Awards this Saturday at the Pearl Theater inside the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. more ›

In news today Google's YouTube announced that they will provide a tool that will allow anyone with a video on the service to get detailed metrics about who has been watching it - Nielsen for you and me. more ›

Saturday Other than sporting events, including NFL pre-season football (we're practically only just out of July for chrissakes), all there is, if you are a glutton for punishment, is a Doris Day Marathon on TCM - the 12 movie block started at 3:00am so you'd best pop some corn and get that ass on a couch.

I'm getting kind of sick of the parade of authors on late night TV, particularly Comedy Central - who the eff has time to read when there's so much bad TV? Speaking of bad TV, we're down to the final 3 on both... more ›

Sure, I’ve heard the rumors, but here it was in writing, in actual print. I know gossip sites aren’t the most reliable sources, but just go with me here. It is true. The Coreys are going to be starring in a new show together -- and by “The Coreys”, I am of course referring to Corey Feldman and Corey Haim, the eighties teen icons and dreamboats and whom I believe and have ALWAYS believed were the most underrated actors of their generation. My heart skipped a beat as my memories of my Coreys came flooding back. more ›
