LOS ANGELES—In the third episode of Goddess, AVN Male Performer of the Year and four-time AVN Best Actor Seth Gamble’s latest cinemacore directing effort, he has a fantastical encounter with his real-life wife and 2023 Doppio Senso Best International Female Performer, Kenzie Taylor. The episode, titled “Persephone Goddess of the Underworld,” debuted today on Wicked.com.

Note promo materials for the scene, “The mythical daughter of Zeus and Demeter from Greek lore, Persephone has become something of a modern pop culture phenomenon. Famously portrayed by Rosario Dawson in the Percy Jackson film franchise, this intriguing figure has influenced such films as The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions (in which a sci-fi variant of the character is played by Monica Bellucci), and television shows like ABC’s Once Upon a Time, where she is suggested to be the alter-ego of Rebecca Mader’s Zelena.”

“Today, filmmakers recognize that there is a pattern in most great stories, whether they play out in a primetime soap opera or a blockbuster superhero film,” Gamble said. “Persephone is a great character that allows you to use this pattern to your advantage. Her story, in which she is kidnapped by Hades and becomes the Queen of the Underworld, is known all over the world. Because we all have a shared, subconscious awareness of these symbols, I can tell these stories in completely visual terms.”

He continued, “I knew I had to cast Kenzie in this. She’s not only a gifted actress and spectacular performer, she’s an incredibly visual artist. She fit the role perfectly, and I knew she had the passion to deliver an outstanding performance. She really went to a whole other level in fleshing out the mood required for the visual effects shots. The story of Persephone was the way the ancient Greeks explained the eternal cycle of death and rebirth, and she expressed all of this visually.”

“I’m always honored when Seth asks me to be in a vision of his,” offered Taylor. “The goddess I was asked to recreate, Peresphone, is by far one of my favorites. I loved everything about this day of shooting. Seth got all of us girls in the Goddess film custom outfits created, which added to making this an incredibly unique experience. I am incredibly proud of Seth and everything he has accomplished.”

Past and upcoming episodes of Goddess feature Ivy Wolfe, Kenna James, Nicole Doshi and Scarlit Scandal.

NEW YORK—Pornhub announced today that the recipient of its Lifetime Achievement Award at the upcoming Fifth Annual Pornhub Awards will be AVN Hall of Fame actress, writer and director Stormy Daniels. The company said it is bestowing the honor to Daniels “for her many contributions, which have helped shape the face of the adult industry as well as American history.”

“I am extremely honored to receive this award and excited to celebrate the industry with my fellow adult performers and producers at the Pornhub Awards,” Daniels said. “I am proud of the content I’ve created in the last two decades and will continue to support and defend the adult business and sex worker rights.”

A celebration of the biggest and best in each of Pornhub’s unconventional categories, as well as the top channels and most popular networks, the Pornhub Awards have previously crowned only one performer with a Lifetime Achievement trophy: 2020 recipient Cicciolina, the legendary porn actress and Italian parliament member.

Award winners will be announced on the official awards site, pornhub.com/awards, on April 20, 2023 at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT, followed by an exclusive, in-person celebration party held for all nominated models and select guests in Los Angeles that evening. Headlining the evening will be three-time Grammy Award winning DJ and producer, as well as 2020 AVN Awards musical guest, Diplo.

“The Pornhub Awards are all about individuality, creativity and freedom—three things I think we can all agree are important to celebrate,” Diplo commented. “It’s an honor to be asked to play for what I’m sure will be one of my most fun crowds ever.”

In addition to Diplo, attendees will also be treated to DJ sets by The Ion Pack, lower-east side fixtures who run New York City’s hottest film scene podcast; 24-year old DJ Hank K, who has played along dance music greats such as Honey Dijon, Nic Fanciulli, Diplo, Chris Lake, The Martinez Brothers, Seth Troxler and Damian Lazarus; and Miami-based artist and DJ TOTALFREEDOM, founding member of Los Angeles music label Fade to Mind and music director for NY fashion brands such as Telfar and Hood By Air.

To further recognize the efforts of adult industry performers, Pornhub also announced its support of social justice organization Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP) Behind Bars with a donation marking the renewal of its partnership with the group.

This year’s Pornhub Awards will name winners in 50 categories—the most to date in the awards’ history—and include a number of new categories that celebrate diversity and inclusivity.

PARIS—International adult brand Dorcel today announced the domestic debut of Blow, director Herve Bodilis’ follow-up to his 2023 AVN Award winner (Best International Production) Revenge. Starring Mariska and Shalina Devine, the release is now available on DVD in the United States through Pulse Distribution.

In the movie, Mariska plays a renowned therapist specializing in couples’ issues. Elaborates a company synopsis, “Having reached a crossroads in her career, she’s decided to leave the city and set up her practice in an isolated villa in the south of France, where she can not only focus on herself but tend to her patients in an idyllic setting far from the hassles of their daily lives. Although this move has somewhat distanced Mariska from her closest friends, it’s also the perfect place to welcome couples for a therapeutic retreat. However, this weekend in the country promises to be different from any other and will have unexpected consequences on the couples’ lives.

“As the pastoral retreat progresses, each of the couples—James Duval and Shalina Devine, Carollina Cherry and Ricky Mancini, Tiffany Leiddi and Kristof Cale—realize they’ve never taken the time to get to know each other more intimately,” the synopsis continues. “As the weekend’s revelations come full circle, only one question remains—will Mariska’s wise advice help them put their love lives back in order?”

The movie’s five sex scenes emphasize three-ways in which Mariska frequently joins the couples.

“Because he’s so gifted with fast-paced action, location shooting, and Hollywood style set pieces, people tend to associate Herve Bodilis with big-budget adult features that riff on mainstream genres,” said Daniel Metcalf, Dorcel’s U.S. publicist. “And that’s an accurate observation. Revenge was not a porn parody, but it did give a ‘tip of the hat’ to movies like Ocean’s 8. Blow is entirely different—an intimate play on the themes of movies like The Man Who Loved Women—which, ironically, was a remake of an earlier French film. Blow is certain to please Bodilis’ fans while substantially raising Mariska’s profile in North America.”

MIAMI—MYLF has dropped the first segment of its newest feature, The Price of Perfect, starring April MYLF of the Month Silvia Saige.

The new project follows past features such as Love Thy Neighbor and How We Fuck in the Shadows, and will follow the same strategy of being broken down into three parts across three of MYLF’s most popular series (Milfty, FreeUse Milf and Anal Mom) before the full extended cut is released.

Available now on Milfty, “The Price of Perfect Part 1: Don’t Mess This Up” finds Saige playing a mother who wants everything to be perfect. She recently moved into a new neighborhood in the city of Mylfwood with her stepson, Nick Strokes, and wants to leave a good impression on the neighbors because she knows all eyes are on her. However, when she overhears Nick on the phone trying to plan a party at their house, she immediately shuts it down and lets him know that there can’t be any parties at their house until she’s been crowned as the neighborhood’s Mom of the Month, so her reputation is on the line.

Nick argues that she has to find a way to make it up to him for not throwing the party and starts getting touchy with his stepmom. She is taken back, but when he reminds her that his dad is never around to please her, she gives into her temptation and drags him to the kitchen where things get hot.

Part 2 of The Price of Perfect releases April 21 on FreeUse Milf.

DUBLIN—On the heels of its relaunch in association with Adult Empire Cash, the new SINematica.com presents featurette “Life’s a Bitch” starring Czech performer Billie Star, Oregon native Anna de Ville and French veteran Ian Scott.

Shot on the European Atlantic coast, the scene casts Star and de Ville as formerly close friends who used to surf together. Explains a company synopsis, “After a fallout, Billie meets Anna following her daily session. Shocked by seeing her at the spot after months not being there, Anna is not in the mood for anything, but finally gives up and gets pushed to be licked right on the beach before lashing out and leaving. Billie still suggests to stop by the house that Anna knows well from their past. Anna shows up at the villa while Billie is in the middle of pleasuring orally her boyfriend right on the deck at the pool. Anna gets in the mix and both parties take the rest inside the house for a torrid hard threesome.”

“Life is really a bitch! Catching sun on the French Atlantic coast, trying to surf and be with my buddies,” Star recalled. “Well, we had so much fun and laughters but it was also super if you know what I mean.”

“It was great to work with Billie, we only shot together once before, and I feel like we connected a lot more during this scene,” offered de Ville. “I have been working with Ian for years now, so it’s always great to work with him too. The story in the scene was fun to act out, I remember we had some good laughs on set, I can’t wait to see how the final product turns out. Maybe we will have a reunion and get to see where the story goes after this comes out, I hope so.”

LOS ANGELES—Featuring an A-list cast including Nicole Doshi, Kenzie Taylor, Ivy Wolfe, Kenna James and Scarlit Scandal, director Seth Gamble’s Goddess takes viewers through the mists of time to a magical place where even the most decadent fantasies can become reality. The ambitious project’s latest scene, featuring Gamble and Doshi, is now streaming on wicked.com.

The new installment is titled “Episode 2 – NÜWA Goddess of Humanity.” Famously portrayed by Chinese actress Zhang Zilin in the Asian fantasy adventure The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven’s Palace (released in the United States as The Monkey King: The Legend Begins with additional special effects and action scenes created in Hollywood), “Nüwa” is the major representation of the divine feminine in Chinese mythology, where she is portrayed creating human beings by hand before restoring the Pillar of Heaven.

“These characters and their myths come from specific places and eras: think Greek goddesses, the muses of Europe, and the underworld of Egypt,” Gamble the reigning AVN Malte Performer of the Year and four-time Best Actor winner, says of his latest creation. “Though the visuals vary in meaning and style, folklore, legends, and mythology can provide you with fantastic inspiration for the underpinnings of a scene.

“What I look for are the relatable feelings and emotions found in these iconic stories. No matter what country or culture or period they come from, the common emotions we all experience in our lives continue to make them relevant to us today. Images drawn from myth give you the underpinnings, and the underpinning is where the meaning is.”

Of Doshi, the filmmaker remarked, “I’m incredibly lucky to have Nicole in Goddess and couldn’t imagine doing this episode with anyone else. She’s charismatic, fiercely intelligent, and eager to keep learning and growing as an actress and a creator.”

Of the scene, Gamble revealed, “The character required someone who’s very self-confident and very visual and demonstrative as a performer. Most of us have at least a little bit of an exhibitionistic streak in us: This, like anything else in psychology, exists on a spectrum, and it is perfectly normal and healthy. She really tapped into that side of her persona for our scene. Our chemistry on screen is undeniable and this is by far one of my favorite visual scenes I’ve ever been in and shot. Nicole has great sexual energy and is a force to be reckoned with.”

“Working with Seth Gamble is a first class experience,” added Doshi. “I am so honored to be a part of Wicked’s Goddess. I love being able to express myself and dress up as a sexy Asian goddess. You are going to love it when Seth makes me orgasm multiple times.”

LOS ANGELES—Trans performer Johanna Bardin appears on Grooby’s TGirls.xxx today, 22 years since her debut on Grooby’s host of sites.

“Legend isn’t a word I use often and it’s because models like Johanna Bardin are so rare,” said Grooby owner Steven Grooby. “We first featured her on GroobyGirls.com in 2001. You read that right, 22 years ago.  But before we featured her, she’s been around for a good few years as one of the top performers in the trans industry in the 90s, along with names like Meghan Chevalier, Kim Devine, and Vo D’Balm.”

Coming in hot from Sin City, Bardin has also appeared on other sites such as Bob’s TGirls, Frank’s TGirl World, TGirl 40, and TGirl Tops.

“As far as I am aware, Johanna is the only performer from that generation still working—and she looks far better than girls much younger than she,” Grooby added. “Healthy living, taking care of herself, regular workouts, and lots of sex … that’s the key to looking so fabulous. It’s an honor to have this stunning model return to our sites.”
