VIVID STUDIO INSIDER FOR SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

KARISSA SHANNON VIDEO OFF TO STRONG START -- The Vivid-Celeb release of the “extreme" Karissa Shannon Superstar sex tape is off to a powerful start. The beautiful blonde Playboy Playmate and a favorite on the E! Networks hit series "The Girls Next Door" is the real-life girlfriend of her co-star in the movie,  Sam Jones III, best known for playing Pete Ross in The CW Television Network "Smallville" series. He will also be appearing in the new CBS series “The Defenders” starring Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell. Karissa and Sam enthusiastically enjoy one another in a moving car, their home, a hotel room in Hawaii, and other exotic locales. At one point in the two-hour movie, Karissa, clad in black lingerie, stockings and high heels, falls under the spell of Sam and his riding crop.  

 A TIGER SEX TAPE IN OUR FUTURE? – According to RadarOnline, “Devon James, the curvy Floridian who calls herself a ‘porn queen,’ is trying to sell the steamy footage to the adult film company Vivid Entertainment.”  And the HuffingtonPost.com says the alleged former mistress of Tiger Woods “ is meeting porn star producer Vivid in the hope of selling an ‘explosive' sex tape of the golfer, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.” The RadarOnline report quotes Ms. James as saying: "The tape is 62 minutes long and 37 minutes of it is us having sex."  But, the website says, “James's own mother says she is a ‘pathological liar’ and denies that any relationship ever occurred with Woods.”  So far, Vivid has declined to comment on the reports, which also note that “in January, a Vivid co-CEO said that the company was examining a purported Tiger Woods sex tape, but nothing has ever come of that footage. Less than a month earlier, attorneys for Woods issued a legal document to prevent papers from publishing naked pictures or video of the superstar golfer.”

IMAGES FROM SUPERMAN XXX SPARK COMICS FAN EXCITEMENT --  The comics industry was buzzing after release of the first images from Superman XXX: A Porn Parody from Axel Braun.  Typical was this report from IO9.com after release of the first image of Ryan Driller in costume as the title character:  “Now that Batman XXX is out, showing just how much action the Batusi can get you, detail-oriented superhero pornographer Axel Braun has moved on to Superman. What's amazing about this project is how far Braun seems to be going to recreate the look and feel of Richard Donner's original Superman film.”  And ComicBookMovie.com said: “Whatever you may think of the films themselves, there's no question that Superman XXX director Axel Braun, who also helmed Batman XXX, is determined that his films capture the look and feel of the subject being parodied.” Due out in December with an all-star cast including Alexis Texas, Lexi Belle, Kristina Rose, Zoe Voss, and Andy San Dimas as Lois Lane, Superman XXX: A Porn Parody is raising the bar for adult parodies.

 CRY WOLF  TO SHOW AT BERLIN FESTIVAL -- The Porn Film Festival Berlin plans to show Cry Wolf this year.  The festival, being held October 28-31 in the German city, plans to highlight the film, using press materials and photos. Cry Wolf is a tense psychodrama that was honored as Best Film during the 2009 AVN Awards ceremony.  The movie stars Monique Alexander and Mr. Marcus, who were given the award that year for Best Couples Sex Scene. In addition to its non-stop torrid sex Cry Wolf has a riveting storyline that keeps viewers guessing until the end.


SPECULATION FLIES ON TILA TEQUILA SEX TAPE REPORT – TMZ is leading the pack in conjecture about the possibility that two sex tapes featuring Tila Tequila might soon be on the market.  One is said to be a girl-on-girl video while the other features Tila with a gentleman. And, TMZ says, Vivid Entertainment is one of two studios named as a possible distributor of the movies.  So far, no official word from Vivid on the rumored maneuvering to obtain the rights. As TMZ says: “Of course neither company can do anything without Tila's permission.  We're guessing that won't be a problem.”
