New Faces and New Contracts

    The world of porn is an ever-changing landscape of hot muscled studs, lithe young twinks, and everything in between. As contracts are renegotiated each year, even exclusive models sometimes move from one studio to another – and new faces are constantly cropping up. With so much going on, it can sometimes be a little tricky to keep track of your favorite models (unless you’re a die-hard fan who reads the porn blogs every day.) The newest trend is for the most popular models to sign exclusive contracts with several studios simultaneously (which stretches the meaning of  “exclusive”),  further adding to the confusion. We’ll try to clear things up with recent news about some of our favorite stars new and old. It’s all current as of press time, but it’s important to remember that sometimes these boys move fast!
    We’re really glad that Channel 1 Exclusive Benjamin Bradley has returned to porn after fulfilling his dream to be a mainstream underwear model. It’s sometimes difficult to kickstart a porn career that’s been put on hold – but if anyone can do it, it’s Benjamin. He’s worked for Randy Blue in recent months, doing a scorching three-way with Malachi Marx and Chris Rockway.
    One of the things that is always impressive is when porn stars point out just how much they enjoy working with certain models – and Benjamin has definitely offered his share of positive shout-outs to others in the industry. We’re sure his return will put smiles on the faces of many performers!
    Over at Raging Stallion there’s a lot to celebrate, including the scene in Port of Entry that features two of the studio’s newest exclusives. David Taylor is a stunning young hunk with beautiful eyes, shoulder length hair, and a colorful sleeve of tattoos on his right arm. He previously worked with a string of top-notch studios before finally settling down at Raging Stallion. Bruno (who also happens to be the boyfriend of Steve Cruz) is a hairy and beefy dreamboat, so when the two studs came together for this scene it was truly explosive. David gave Raging Stallion another reason to be glad that they signed him, delivering a phenomenal topping performance that is bound to earn him a lot of Grabby and GayVN nominations in the coming year.
    We had the chance to meet David at a recent industry party, and not only is he just as hot in person as he is in his videos, but he’s also one of the nicest guys we’ve met recently.
    Ryan Raz really burst onto the scene this year. During his relatively short time in the business, this talented bottom has already worked with big names like respected director Michael Lucas. We really enjoyed Ryan’s work as a top in Entrapment from Lucas Entertainment and we hope these two talents will someday give each other another shot at working together. Ryan is yet another rising star who recently opted to join the Raging Stallion family and he’s already begun doing press for them. For now, you can watch this former Ugly Betty extra getting fisted on screen in Sweet Spot! from Hot House.
Ryan was not afraid to explore his inner pig in some of the videos in which he has appeared, and we expect him to continue this trend well into his career – making him someone to watch!   
    Speaking of fisting, one of the new exclusives at Hot House is no stranger to kinky, hardcore sex either. Rick Van Sant made his Club Inferno debut in Up Yours!. We’re not sure why so many fisting titles have exclamation points in their titles, but the extra punctuation accurately reflects our reactions upon screening them! If only there were special punctuation marks to indicate cringing, high-pitched involuntary yelps, tantrum feet, and covered eyes… For the time being, OMG! OMG! OMG! will have to suffice. Van Sant’s dimpled smile might fool you into thinking he’s a goody two shoes, but once you’ve see him fisting Evan Matthews it will be hard to keep looking at him in that way!
    Tony Mecelli is one of the exclusives at Hot House who we just can’t get enough of. In the recently released film Locker Room, Tony is paired with Vince Ferelli. Both of these guys are built like brick houses, with huge Italian sausages and the sex drives of horny teenagers. However, only one of them can ultimately come out on top in a given scene – and therein lies the magic! In the bathroom area of a gym’s locker room, Tony fucks Vince halfway into another time zone before he and Vince finally drop their loads.
    Concerning the C1R camp, a little bird told us that Chi Chi LaRue actually discovered newcomer Nelson Troy while he was go-go dancing at a popular West Hollywood hotspot called Here Lounge. He isn’t the first go-go dancer to cross over into porn, but he’s certainly one of the hottest! Nelson made his debut as a Channel 1 Exclusive in the film Tread Heavy. He seems to be having the time of his life in his role, but when you’re paired up with Benjamin Bradley and Chi Chi is directing, how can things go wrong?
    If there’s one person who we’d love to see more of, it’s sexy Israeli Matan Shalev from Michael Lucas’ much lauded Men of Israel. The film combines some of Israel’s most beautiful men with some of its gorgeous landscapes to create a visually stunning cinematic first. Mr. Lucas himself has already stated on his blog that this movie “will be a milestone for the country” and expresses his hope that it will show the rest of the world what a gorgeous country Israel truly is. Lucas’ film barely skims the surface of the many landscapes in Israel (not to mention the hot men), so we hope it will be just the first in a long series.
    The movie has created such a buzz that even the mainstream media has begun reporting on the production. Most recently, Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times covered the story. Goldstein’s story considered the major accomplishment of having an all-Jewish cast perform in gay porn openly, pointing out how uncommon that is. With this much publicity, we can expect the movie to do well and for its stars to rocket to the top of everyone’s favorites lists.
    Lastly, fans of Wolf Hudson may have noticed that he has really settled into a nice routine over at Cocky Boys. Not only is the stud directing for them now, but he’s also been making some special guest appearances in their videos! One of our favorite updates with Wolf has him pounding Jesse Santana into submission. This is one that you definitely won’t want to miss!
