I just caught the end of the live show on Falcon TV featuring Bruce Beckham and Matthew Rush. I never tried Falcon TV before, because I just assumed that live streaming sites don't work on Macs. I've been shut out of so many other sites like that, I didn't even bother to try. But I upgraded my OS last week and decided to try once more. I couldn't get any audio, but the picture looked great and streamed really smoothly. But, enough of the technical stuff - how did the guys look you ask? YUM! That Bruce Beckham is adorable! He's not quite the "bodybuilder" category of Matthew Rush, but he is overall pretty close in size. But that FACE is just stunning. I caught the end of Matthew Rush topping Bruce Beckham, and they just looked like one big ball of muscle! From there, they both got on their backs for the cum shot. Bruce fingered Matthew's ass to get him warmed up, then grabbed his own dick to pop a nice gusher before going back to help Matthew finish the job. I'm assuming this show will soon be in the rotation of Falcon Replays, so keep an eye out for it. Now that I know live shows can stream on my vintage 1998 Mac G4, I will be visiting Falcon's site more often myself.

2006 has barely started (OK, so it's June already...) and COLT has already released NEXT year's calendars! Yikes! Where does the time go? There are six high-quality calendars available this year. Four of them in color and three of them with full frontal nudity, the COLT Hairy Chested Men calendar headlines cover COLT Man Carlo Masi, the COLT Cowboy calendar showcases cover COLT Man Luke Garrett and COLT Naked Muscles reveals cover COLT Man Bo Dixon. The COLT Bare Chested Men displays superstar Dean Phoenix, and consists of COLT Men from the waist up. This calendar sold like hotcakes last year with its conception and retailers worldwide like that it’s not hard-core and able to sit out with the rest of the annual calendars in their stores. The COLT Leather calendar is the only black and white version featuring cover COLT Man Matt Cromwell. A continual favorite with loyal COLT customers, spend 2007 with these COLT Studio Group Men and many more month after month. “The COLT name is synonymous with producing the highest quality line of products,” says President and Creative Director John Rutherford of this year’s COLT Calendars. “I’m very happy to continue the tradition with our new 2007 COLT Calendars started by Jim French many years ago. They’ve become a retailer’s staple year after year. Consistent high-quality is what COLT is all about.”

I've been working like a busy little beaver on the VIP Room at Lavender Lounge (that's the membership section, if you don't already know...) A lot of the changes won't be evident for a while because it's a lot of boring backend stuff, or ideas that are still in the planning stage. In the meantime, though, I have added over 6,000 new video clips to Gay Video Cafe section of the VIP Room! (See screenshot on the top / left.) Plus, I've made it much more interesting and engaging for members to select video clips to watch. Instead of clicking through long lists of text links, you can now access the video galleries by clicking on thumbnail pictures from videos. Right now, members of the VIP Room have access to over 25,000 gay porn video clips - and that's JUST the Gay Video Cafe section! (The rest of Lavender Lounge has plenty of other video and stills galleries, too.) Before I'm done, I am planning to add another 5,000 short clips in this round of updates, but to be honest with you, these short clips are just a way to wet your appetite for watching the FULL LENGTH movies in the main Gay Video Cafe Main Theater (see screenshot on top / right). I know, it's all very confusing - free clips here - pay per view there - join this - join that, etc., etc. So I'm going to make it easy for you. Just click ANYWHERE and you'll find something fun! Did you know that Gay Video Cafe now has full length movies from Bel Ami, Eurocreme, Falcon, Mustang, and Adonis Pictures? Why didn't someone tell ME? You can watch movies on Gay Video Cafe and only pay for the minutes you watch with no membership fees. GAY VIDEO CAFE - Sample Video Clips - Main Theater

Unfortunately, I did not attend International Mr. Leather (IML) or the Grabby Awards in Chicago. I'm still reeling from my big move and paying three mortgages... you don't want to know.... However, here is the list of winnners: 2006 International Mr. Leather: Bo Ladashevska, Mr. Leather Montreal 2006 First Runner Up: Larry Golubski, Mr. Long Beach Leather 2005 Second Runner Up: Philippe Lepine, Mr. Fetish Switzerland 2006-2007 Mr. Bootblack 2006, Benjamin Palmer Bo Ladashevska is no Bo Bice, thank goodness, but if he likes fisting, I think he certainly looks like Raging Stallion material to me! But wipe that thought out of your mind right now! Leather title holders very seldom crossover into porn. It's usually the other way around - they may get their start in porn and then move up into the public service aspect of being a title holder. But that butch little Canadian bulldog definitely looks like a porn star, the first winner in a long time that has, at least in my humble opinion. Congratulations!

I've got a partial list of gay porn stars that will be making appearances in and around IML (International Mr. Leather) this weekend in Chicago. Needless to say, there will certainly be other porn stars running around the hotel and bars, as well as several newbies to be "discovered" during all the leather festivities surrounding the big cowhide beauty pageant. Hot House is bringing Exclusives Tony Mecelli, Robert Van Damme and Nick Piston, as well as *Non-Exclusives Jason Ridge and Matt Cole. (*I guess that means they're "available"...?) Falcon is rolling out the re-vamped Mustang line with a group of IML-friendly blokes: Cal "Speedy" Reynolds, Jake Dakota, Parker Williams, Todd Maxwell, and possibly a few late additions from the Falcon realm. Below are the COLT Men’s schedules, if you want to come see these guys in person the COLT booth wearing our new COLT Leather line to get your free COLT gift: Friday: 12:00 – 3:00 COLT Man Exclusive Adam Dexter 2:00 – 5:00 COLT Man Exclusive Luke Garrett 4:00 – 7:00 COLT Man Exclusive Gage Weston Saturday: 11:30 – 2:30 COLT Man Exclusives Luke Garrett and Gage Weston 2:30 – 5:00 COLT Man Jessie Balboa 4:00 – 7:00 COLT Man Exclusive Adam Dexter Sunday: 11:00 – 2:00 COLT Man Exclusives Adam Dexter and Luke Garrett 2:00 – 5:00 COLT Man Exclusive Gage Weston and COLT Man Jessie Balboa Monday: 11:00 – 1:30 COLT Man Exclusive Adam Dexter 1:00 - 4:00 COLT Man Exclusives Luke Garrett and Gage Weston 3:30 – 4:00 COLT BOOTH Raffle Winner will be picked.

Over this Memorial Day Weekend, in between barbeques, fireworks, baseball, and apple pie, be sure to visit Falcon's website to watch Falcon Exclusives Roman Heart, Dean Monroe and Josh Weston do their live webcast sex shows. Or better yet, go pick up an veteran of the Iraq War and give him a blowjob. He deserves it. OFFICIAL WEBSITES:

Lots of juicy gossip this week, even though I beat him to the scoop about Michael Lucas and Rupert Everett! The Adams Report by JC Adams May 22 - 28, 2006 We have all kinds of goodies in the "Adams Report by JC Adams" this week. Michael Lucas hits the scandal sheets (again!) for allegedly making out with a movie star and Chi Chi LaRue is engaging in dirty deeds. Plus, RuPaul is dueting with one of our boys, Bret Wolfe is acting, Luciano Haas is directing, Jason Hawke and Jeremy Jordan break up and Caleb Carter gets engaged. C'mon, belly up to the bar! We've also got more coming up on the controversial European Gay Porn Awards. I ran an interview with show producer Marc Cram that riled up a few folks on both sides of the fence. Both supporters and detractors have weighed in. I was going to run something this week, but more heated comments came in right as I was going to press, so that update got pushed to next week. But you won't want to miss it. LUCAS & EVERETT: K-I-S-S-I-N-G It wouldn't be a column without some mention of Michael Lucas or his New York-based Lucas Entertainment, would it? Inevitably when I mention the performer-director-mogul in this space a few gripes come over the transom. To which I usually reply, "You get written up in the gossip pages and I'll write about you, too!" Check out this item from the May 12th edition of the "New York Daily News" scandal sheet "Gatecrasher" by Ben Widdicombe: "Actor Rupert Everett rekindled an old flame on a visit to NYC last week...[he] got his groove back with adult-film-star-cum-producer Michael Lucas, whom he has known since the days when Lucas -- how shall we put this? -- charged by the hour... Says [a] friend, 'Michael's old client list is on par with Heidi Fleiss.' A rep for Lucas confirmed he knew the actor but said they never had a financial relationship. Those darn celebrities get everything for free!" Well, you know I asked Mr. Lucas about that when he got on the horn with me about some new exclusive or something. (Forget the exclusives! I want the juicy stuff!) He laughed it off. "I've known Rupert Everett for five years," he revealed. "We kissed each other as friends. I am a married man. My husband and I are about to leave for a vacation together! Rupert Everett and I kissed like friends, that's all." Mr. Lucas wasn't worried about his husband catching wind of the gossip ("He only reads the 'New York Times' and the financial pages") and was more irked about the other bold-faced name linked to him in the gossip item. He groaned, "I cannot believe they compared me to Heidi Fleiss. She went to jail. I run my own very successful company. I pay a lot in taxes and I am not doing anything illegal that would put me in jail. We are two very different people and have two very different careers. Please make sure you mention that." One more item: I've written recently about various gay industryites being tapped for magazine layouts. Well, get ready for another major magazine article and fashion spread coming down the pike that will feature Mr. Lucas and a whole bunch of his exclusive performers. UN FILM DE LUCIANO Painfully handsome South American model Luciano Haas recently made his directorial debut. "I wrote the script, cast the models, [hired] a great professional [behind] the camera and confirmed the location," he told me. "And on May 15th and 16th I [shot] my first film!" Congrats! Mr. Haas doesn't have North American distribution yet. "There is a new gay studio in Buenos Aires," he explained. "They knew about me and they were very interested in hiring me because of my experience in the U.S. market. The [problem] was the salary was too low. Then an American director who usually shoots in Brazil contacted me last January. He was going to shoot in Sao Paolo and he told me because of my experience I would be a great assistant for him [as] I also speak Portuguese. When we talked about my salary, I was disappointed. He [wanted] to pay me as a local. Crazy!" Crazy, indeed! Our Mr. Haas certainly kept his eyes and ears open during his forays into American porn, eh? After a production meeting last year with Michael Lucas in Buenos Aires, Mr. Haas decided there was enough interest out there for him to helm his own pictures. He's in the teeth of post-production as we speak and promised to provide regular updates. BITS AND BOBS As I've revealed in this space, dragstress RuPaul corralled Owen Hawk, Michael Lucas and Gus Mattox for cameos in her indie film "Starrbooty: Reloaded." Now comes news that she and Colton Ford have written and will perform a duet. No word on a release... Directrix Chi Chi LaRue has launched a new weekly club night titled "Dirty Deeds" at FuBar in West Hollywood. Opening night is Wednesday, May 31st with Ms. LaRue spinning records and Rascal Exclusive ingenue Claudio Martin (DECEIVED and STONE FOX) appearing as a special guest. "Dirty Deeds" will run every Wednesday indefinitely. Fubarla.com is the club website... Although quasi-retired from the skin trade, performer Bret Wolfe tells me he and Michael Brandon will cohost the Official Grabby Awards Recovery Brunch on Sunday, May 28th in Chicago at the North End Bar. "We will have stars from all the major studios appearing," he tells me. "They will be presenting their new releases and proceeds from the raffles will be donated to the Test Positive Aware Network." Mr. Wolfe will also attend the Grabby Awards representing Jet Set and WET PALMS 7-9, which is up for a few trophies. And the indie film "Long Term Relationship" in which Mr. Wolfe is featured will have its world premiere at Newfest 2006, the New York LGBT Film Festival. Two screenings are set for June 2nd and 3rd. "I play a sort of foil to the main relationship in the movie," he says, "a good guy at heart but thinks a bit too much with his cock!" The official movie website is Guesthousefilms.com, while the Newfest is at Newfestival.org and all the Grabby Awards hoopla is housed at Grabbys.com... Gay porn's reigning power couple, Jason Hawke and Jeremy Jordan, announced an amicable split after nearly six years of cohabitation. "People only gave us a week when we first met but we beat the odds and we're really proud of our relationship's longevity," he told JasonCurious.com. "We also think it's really good for others in the industry to have seen us and realize that a long-term gay relationship is possible." Mr. Hawke says that he and Mr. Jordan remain friendly and continue to shoot exclusive hardcore content for JasonHawkeXXX.com. (Mr. Jordan's website is forthcoming.) "We had a blast, we're both moving on and we are both looking forward to a new future," he reveals. I've worked with Jason Hawke a couple times and a nicer guy you couldn't find in GayPornLand (apart from perhaps Jeremy Jordan.) I'm happy the pair have dissolved their relationship peacefully and wish them both the best. On the opposite end of the relationship spectrum, my good pal Caleb Carter recently broke the news that he is engaged! Congratulations! The gent who made an honest man out of him is newcomer Tyler Thomas of FraternityGuys.com fame (a film or two are in the pipeline). "I originally just wanted to mind-fuck him because I just saw 'Basic Instinct 2' and I was in this whole Catherine Tramell phase," Mr. Carter tells me. "But somehow it backfired and I fell in love." When Mr. Carter took Mr. Thomas home to meet the folks, the latter dropped down on one knee and proposed. The boys promise to have a nice, long engagement. "He won't buy me the $78,000 ring I want," Mr. Carter jokes, "but otherwise he's the most amazing man I've ever met. And my family loves him! And, oh my fucking god, is he HUNG!" Ah, young love...

From Leah Garchik's column, SFGate.com: German-born Peter Berlin, gay porn star and self-portraitist/poster man of the '70s, is famous for wearing tight pants -- often tailored by his own hand -- that bulged in a place relevant to his career. A few days ago, going through security at Ontario airport in Southern California, he set off a metal detector. Guards searched his things, patted him down, wanded him and OKd him to board. But just as he was about to walk to the gate, a supervisor who'd been observing from the side asked him about a string hanging from the front of his pants. "My zipper was a little broken," Berlin told me, "so I had a string sort of holding it together." Berlin explained, but the security supervisor wasn't satisfied. "What is in your pants?" he asked. "My penis," answered Berlin, who thereupon was surrounded by five security guards who grabbed both his arms and led him away. The detailed search that followed included the exposure of the body part they apparently thought might have been dangerous. "On one hand it was very funny," Berlin said. "On the other hand, I was treated like a suspect. ... It was a nasty situation." Berlin, born Baron Armin von Hoyningen-Huene, said that when he travels abroad, security guards take one look at his passport, which is in his real name, and treat him with kid gloves. No such niceties in the U.S.A., although he was an innocent man in fact and in principle. "My God," Berlin said, "I wouldn't put a bomb there."
