"CRY WOLF" WINS BEST US FILM AT VENUS -- "Cry Wolf" won the prestigious "Best US Film" award at the 2008 eLINE Awards during the 12th Annual Venus Berlin Trade Show. "Cry Wolf" was one of the major 2008 features for Vivid and was directed by Paul Thomas, winner of more awards than any other director in adult film history. "Cry Wolf" stars Vivid Girl Monique Alexander as a young woman caught up in the center of a psychosexual melodrama that takes place in a drug-and-booze crazed Hollywood. Full of dark twists-and-turns, the movie intricately weaves together a tale of devastation. "It was a tour de force for Monique who is really sexy, even during her non-sex scenes," declared Thomas. "I love to see my actors so erotically charged, even when they aren't having sex!" "Cry Wolf" generated a buzz amongst fans prior to release and marked a series of firsts for Monique, including her first on-screen anal scene with Marcus Leon and her first interracial scene with Mr. Marcus. The movie also features Stefani Morgan and Steven St. Croix.

Combined with a solid script by Tony G., the movie received the highest rating from AVN and won many other excellent reviews. The 2008 eLINE Awards featured 76 categories recognizing outstanding achievement in the adult video, retail, novelty and internet industries. The highly coveted "Best US Film" award is bestowed on only one movie from the entire U.S.

NIKKI JAYNE ON THE COVER OF XCITEMENT -- Barely wearing a lacy bra and nothing else, Vivid Girl Nikki Jayne gazes out flirtatiously with sky blue eyes from the cover of the November issue of Xcitement magazine and online at http://www.xcitement.com/interview/?page_id=546. "Our score card for picking new girls who will have great futures is excellent and we were immediately taken with Nikki," said publisher Bob Newman. "She's an exception to our usual pattern of picking already established stars." Says Nikki: "My goal was always to have a job that is unconventional, that I am good at, that uses my body, sexuality and energy. I've always been a sexual person and doing porn fits all the things I wanted." Xcitement writer Cindi Loftus, who interviewed Nikki to accompany her multi-page pictorial, says, "She's so outrageous, it's contagious" Nikki confesses to Loftus that she is obsessed with getting tarot card readings and going to psychics. She believes she has so many options in life and she is using guidance from these sessions help her refine her choices. Her main motivation to leave England for Southern California was to live somewhere that was hot and sunny. "The only good thing about L.A. is the sunshine and the career," she tells Xcitement. "I like driving around in the sunshine, it makes me happy and I like the beaches...I've met some nice people, maybe 20% ... and 80% phony people. There is a lot more bitchiness here and fake people."

VIVID-ED MAKES FOX NEWS BLOG - Vivid-Ed makes an appearance on the Fox News Health Blog "Sexpert Q&A." In a post titled "Classy Porn" (Sexpert Q & A: Classy Porn), Dr. Yvonne Fulbright is asked by a reader named Alan: "Please help me find classy porn that my wife will also enjoy. I can't seem to find it and my wife is showing interest in the idea." Fulbright replies that "Typically, "classy" and "porn" don't go in the same sentence." But she goes on to say that "Tristan Taormino recently released a line of female-oriented, sex educational videos through Vivid Entertainment's Vivid-Ed line, sure to give you and your wife tons of pleasure-play ideas." Dr. Fulbright is a sex educator, relationship expert, columnist and founder of Sexuality Source Inc. She is the author of several books including, "Touch Me There! A Hands-On Guide to Your Orgasmic Hot Spots."

XCRITIC RECOMMENDS "THE OTHER SIDE OF SUNNY" -- Xcritic.com says "The Other Side of Sunny" is hot, not the least because Vivid Girl Sunny Leone "is one of the most physically attractive ladies to enter the porn industry in quite some time, her exotic looks appealing to a wide range of men and women alike, always looking her best when directed by B. Skow for Vivid Entertainment." Reviewer Don Houston says the film offers "a bonus given Sunny does men but also explores her kinkier side" with plenty of "sexually oriented tricks." Houston recommends the film, adding: "any fan of the young lady should consider this one they will need for their collection."
