Backstage @ FAME Awards, 7/10/10 (SFW)

Last weekend, the fifth annual Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment Awards, co-hosted by Jessica Drake and Sunny Leone, were held during the inaugural edition of eXXXotica Los Angeles at the LA Convention Center. If the AVN and XBIZ Awards are the Oscars and Golden Globes of the adult industry, the FAME Awards are the equivalent to the People's Choice Awards.
Highlights included actors Dale DaBone and Evan Stone reprising their roles from Batman XXX: A Porn Parody as Batman and Riddler -- the film would eventually win Favorite Porn Parody -- as well as several mentions of newly-signed diminutive Wicked Pictures contract girl and Howard Stern Show favorite Lupe Fuentes: "The most memorable quote of the night had to be presenter Kylie Ireland's remark after announcing Lupe Fuentes as the winner in the Favorite Female Rookie category," reported AVN. "'She's a scale model of a real girl,' Ireland cracked as Fuentes took the stage. Then following her speech... jessica drake returned to the podium and quipped of her recently anointed contract sister, 'She's snack size.'" Not to be outdone, when Stone received his Favorite Male Star Award, he quipped, "'Well, I want to thank Jesus, who loves porn.'"

We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
