VIVID $$$ OFFER TO MISS CALIFORNIA MAKES HEADLINES - Reporters at TMZ learned exclusively that Vivid Entertainment had made a $1 million offer to Miss California (for now) Carrie Prejean to make a movie, and they didn't waste time in running with the story. The TMZ story noted that Carrie "doesn't believe in same-sex marriage -- but what about sex before marriage ... on camera?" The article goes on to say, "In the formal offer, mailed off to Prejean late Wednesday afternoon, Vivid makes it clear, 'This is purely a business offer and has nothing to do with your religion or your personal beliefs.' It's doubtful Prejean would accept, but a quick survey of biblically correct heterosexual males shows they would support her overwhelmingly if she did." The TMZ story was immediately picked up by other websites around the world.

SUNNY LOOKS YUMMY ON YUHMM - The May issue of online magazine Yuhmm.com features a tasty photo spread on Vivid Girl Sunny Leone (http://www.yuhmm.com/motel-sexy-starring-sunny-leone/). Under the title "Motel Sexy," the feature begins: 'Somewhere between sticky and sweet, there's a motel room. As the clothes come off, the temperature continues to rise until you're unsure if that's sweat on your face or tears of joy. Walk down that dusty road and ask the inn-keeper for the keys to room 3-W. We'll be here all night." The photos, including one in which Sunny poses with a cupcake as a prop, are stunning. Editor Zosimo Maximo thanked Vivid for arranging for his team to meet and photograph Sunny, adding, "We had a good time."

DAVE NAZ ALSO IN YUHMM -- The May issue of Yuhmm also includes an interview with Vivid-Alt director Dave Naz (http://www.yuhmm.com/dave-naz-is-down-by-law/) which begins "You can't talk about the alt scene without mentioning photographer and Vivid-Alt director Dave Naz. A former member of punk bands Chemical People and Down by Law, Dave has made a name for himself as a premiere alt porn & fetish photographer. With five published books with Goliath and three Vivid-Alt films under his belt, Naz continues to capture his subjects with a rawness and sincerity that's personal yet voyeuristic and sexy." Naz notes in the interview, "I am a fan of all the Alt-Porn themes I've shot for Eon (McKai, Vivid-Alt head). Having the freedom to shoot what you you're really into is great."
