Porn Star Lisa Ann as Sarah Palin via Splashnews

Since everybody calls it a round up, why not call it a square down? It’s not all the news that’s fit to print, not even some of all the news that’s fit to print, but it’s a tiny sliver of both sex news and sexy films. And, for those of us watching our weight before the holidays, we know that a sliver is better than a slice.

• Columbia University started their own erotic review. You’ve probably heard of the g-spot, and possibly even the a-spot, but now it’s time for the c-spot. The first issue pays homage to red fingernails and strip clubs, while trying to work on the guy angle of sex writing by posting one anonymous dudes thoughts on the problems with talking openly about your sex life if you’re a guy.
• Jenna Jameson proves she’s both preggers and pretty. Looks like she’s spending way less on plastic surgery now that she’s got twin babies on the way – via celebitchy.
• I made Xcritic’s list of Top 10 female adult directors. Although there are lots of other female directors doing really great things in the adult industry that deserve to be on this list – like Madison Young, Joanna Angel, Jane Hamilton and Nina Hartley – it is an honor to be recognized for my smallish body of work. That body of work will be expanding in 2009, this I promise.
• Adam & Eve/Zero Tolerance released Roller Dollz earlier this month. This porno flick features sex on skates. Sunny Lane, one of my favorite females in the industry, is the lead skater and girl can skate. Plus, in real life she’s also smart, funny and loves what she’s doing for a living. I haven’t seen the film yet, but popporn loved it. Watch the review here.
• Pirates 2 is also out from Digital Playground. It’s big budget and a big deal in this industry. Guaranteed both of these will be up for way too many awards at this year’s AVN Show.
• Is this recession good for sex shops? According to Bonnie Fuller, guest blogger for the Moment (for the NY Times), the answer is Yes! Yes! Yes! Retail sales may be dropping at places like Saks and Bergdoffs by 10.9 percent and 15.8 percent respectively, but at Babeland sales are up by more than 10 percent from same time last year. In times of crisis, it makes sense that we all choose to let off steam by getting off. It is a screw or get screwed world we live in. Wouldn’t you agree?
• Want a sneak peak at the Sarah Palin porn Hustler’s putting out? Here are pictures from the set of Who’s Nailin Palin? This very same Lisa Ann, the one who plays Sarah Palin, stared in Under the Covers (the last film that I worked on with Candida Royalle).
