This month we spoke to three of the porn bloggers who bring us all of the latest gossip and breaking news of the industry. But if you think they've got it easy, you can think again. In recent years we've seen the arrests of too many well-known porn stars, including two brothers who even earned a nod on Perez Hilton's infamous blog. A big star's life can easily undergo a melt down and the porn industry has more than its share of murders, porn set police raids, bareback controversy, military scandals, and even a University wrestling scandal — and that's just the tip of the iceberg!
   
Many people may not know this about him, but Jason Sechrest first came into contact with the porn industry when he was just 15 years old. “I started writing for mainstream magazines as a cub reporter,” he explains. “One of the magazines was called Femme Fatales, which interviewed a lot of porn to mainstream crossover stars. When I moved to L.A. at 18, I was living on the streets — so I called every person I'd ever interviewed to see if they could help me to find work or a place to stay. It was the adult stars I'd interviewed who actually called back. They embraced me and took me under their wings and eventually made me a part of the family.” Today, besides running his own site that offers straight, gay and bisexual content, Jason hosts interviews with porn stars all over West Hollywood and Silverlake. Jason has also had his own radio show and has even made a few non-sexual appearances in movies such as Jet Set's Wet Palms, for which he received both Grabby and GAYVN Award nominations.
   
One blogger who always seems to raise eyebrows is Kruezer at Night's founder Damon. If you're familiar with this site, you'll know why many refer to it as the industry's biggest guilty pleasure. Damon pulls no punches in his commentaries about the industry and his no-holds-bar attitude has some people wishing he would just go away. “I was determined to make it a brand identity,” he explains about his decision to enter the porn industry, “and to make it an alternative and unbiased viewpoint as compared to the other sites that all tend to share the same viewpoints and to simultaneously cover the exact same people and events.” He also talks extensively about the murder of Cobra Video founder and director Bryan Kocis and explained to us that he and Kocis had been good friends. He then cryptically added that, “There is an untold story involving Brent Corrigan and what someone in Virginia wanted to do to him following the murder that I am holding in reserve.”
   
We've noticed some tension between Damon and Jason, at least on the part of Damon, who accuses Jason of being, “uninterested in being even remotely fair or objective. He often confuses his personal likes and dislikes with facts — and fails to offer respect to the very people from whom he makes his living.” In his blog, Damon also accuses Jason of saying that his site did not deserve to receive a Cybersocket Award nomination. We asked Jason to clarify his statement, to which he replied, “I've actually never said that. If you can show me where I have, I'd love to see it, because it doesn't exist. I don't know what his deal is. I think he likes to say people have said or done things so that those people will then contact him and try to correct it. That's his MO. But I have no desire to correct it or to contact him. It just seems ludicrous to me.”
   
Another well-known blogger is JC Adams, who sits at the helm of the Gay Porn Times. Along with publishing a collection of his columns to commemorate ten years of The Adams Report (scheduled for a Summer 2009 release), Adams was recently asked to help contribute to industry favorite news magazine Xbiz. When asked if there were any topics that were taboo, he replied, “I don't really write too much about relationships anymore. I know my readers like the gossip, but I find it just causes more trouble than it's worth to chronicle the dating scene. Who can keep up? It's like a really explicit game of musical chairs.” Adams also explained the two keys to success. “The first is an original point of view. And the second is consistency. Your readers have to know they can depend on you to provide original content on a consistent basis, or they have no reason to bookmark you.”

Admit it — you've always wanted access to the Alyssa Milano blog! This site provides you that opportunity and more, acting as a guide to all the best blogs across categories such as business, entertainment, news, politics, life, and technology. It's updated daily, with its dedicated staff scouring the net for all the most promising new Perez Hiltons. Highlights include an archive of Top Ten lists (Sarah Palin blogs are all the rage now) and a “10 Random Blogs by Celebrities” (Courtney Love, Rosie O'Donnell and more) list generator. Heck, you can even find the Top Ten Vegan blogs. It’s a great site to browse and it’s very useful!

The thing that distinguishes this gay porn blog from the competition is the way it presents a hot photo and then follows it up with a hilarious Photoshop remix. Pee-wee Herman's mug, for instance, makes an appearance alongside some of the juicy pictures. Other faces causing coitus interruptus include Amy Winehouse, Rick James, and dozens more — plus some hilarious captioning.

Tony Hayden self-describes as an internationally recognized v-logger and personality formerly known as thecircuitdog.com. This is his video diary — an Internet “ME-ality” series, as he calls it — and it is updated frequently. You'll see Hayden doing everything from camping out in front of an IKEA to attending a circuit party. There are also links to his My Space page, his fan site, and much more, in case you feel like cyber-stalking him.

A delicious smorgasbord of adult male performers make up this site's meat and potatoes, complete with a healthy archive of free galleries and a nice serving of humor and irreverence. The main page features photos of Kurt Wild getting his ass royally pounded and Trevor Knight servicing the insanely beautiful model Cody Cummings. Many of today's porn stars are truly incredible to behold — and Gay Pornucopia is dedicated to tracking them down and collecting free content for you.
