Didja Catch Nightline? -- Ted Koppel did a full program on the adult industry on Friday March 15th, (ABC) and for the most part gave a balanced presentation. His major conclusion is that adult is a big, big business (he says $10 billion a year) with lots of participation by huge American companies and that it isn't going away. Among those appearing on the show were Vivid President Bill Asher and Vivid Girl Jenna Jameson.

Jenna's All Biz (Well, Almost All) -- Forbes Magazine usually writes about industry bigwigs but if you buy the magazine next week you'll read about another CEO -- our own Vivid Girl Jenna Jameson. Forbes was interested in the enormously popular star for her role as head of ClubJenna, Inc., which produces videos (that are distributed by Vivid), manages Websites, licenses products and does a bunch of other stuff to keep America's juices flowing.
