MARK WOOD JOINS AVN HALL OF FAME

Veteran of 2000 Scenes and Directing Nearly 200, He Joins Exclusive Club

VENICE, CA – Since entering the adult business in 1998, Mark Wood has performed in more than 2000 scenes, directed nearly 200 others and is now known as one of the hardest working and most dependable performers in the adult business.

That’s why it’s little surprise that AVN has chosen to induct him into the Hall of Fame at its show in January in Las Vegas.

“This was certainly the furthest thing from my mind when I first entered the business,” the low-key star said. “I spent months in Jim South’s office sitting on the couch waiting for my time to come. It wasn’t an easy start, but once the ball got rolling, things have continued to improve over the years. I’m very happy with my decision.”

Over the years he has performed for just about every company in the business and directed for Red Light District, Juicy Entertainment, Visual Images, Devil’s Film and several others. He has also produced movies for his own company, NxTLvL, as well as the company he and wife (and fellow AVN Hall of Famer) Francesca Lé, LéWood.

“Between performing, directing, producing, booking and all the rest of it, I haven’t even had time to think about awards,” Mark said. “It’ll be nice to take a moment one day soon and reflect on it. It really is a fantastic honor. Plus now Francesca can quit boasting about being in the Hall and making fun of me for not making it in!”

He also has several titles/lines he directed up for awards:
Best Ethnic-Themed Release – Latin: Young Tight Latinas 17
Best Ethnic-Themed Series – Latin: Young Tight Latinas (Red Light District)
Best Young Girl Release: Don’t Let Daddy Know 7 (Red Light District)

TINA FEY TALKS SARAH PALIN, LISA ANN

30 Rock Star Says Lisa Ann Knows More About Foreign Policy Than Palin

VENICE, CA – When Tina Fey hosted the Ad Council Annual Dinner last week, former Saturday Night Live cast member Tina Fey revisited the Sarah Palin character she played on the show and then made discussed Lisa Ann, who not only famously did Palin’s character for Hustler’s two Palin DVDs and an interactive, but also played Fey in New Sensations’ 30 Rock parody.

“Mrs. Palin and I continue to have so much in common,” Fey said during her address. “They recently made a porn movie about Sarah and then this same porn actress, Lisa Ann, played me in a parody of 30 Rock … and weirdly of the three of us, Lisa Ann knows the most about foreign policy. But I know the most about threeways, so it all works itself out.”

While Lisa Ann didn’t want to talk about foreign policy this week, she was pleased that Tina had acknowledged her performances.

“It’s no secret that I’m a Tina Fey fan,” Lisa said, “and I thought it was hilarious that she was talking about the Palin triangle we have formed. For both of us, Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps on giving.”

DIAMOND FOXXX IS PORN’S HOTTEST NEW MILF

Busy Star Takes Time Out to Give Back

VENICE, CA – While many report that their work is slowing down porn’s hottest new MILF, Diamond Foxxx, is busier than ever.

She’s also been hard at work in her off time shooting fresh content for her new website. But as of right now you’ll still be able to find her featuring on all of the frequently visited porn sites that were stated beforehand, as well as others such as pornv.xxx that are scattered all over the internet.

“November has been an incredible month,” Diamond confesses. “I’ve gotten to work with some amazing people and really show off what I can do. I know it sounds like a cliché but I really do try to make every scene my best scene ever. I love my job that much!”

In addition to an impressive shooting schedule, the sexy blonde goddess found time recently to give back to the industry she and her husband Ben love so much (and not just by letting you check it out on other sites from time to time) by being one of the hosts at the This Is Our Industry fundraiser supporting Licensed Adult Talent Agency Trade Association (L.A.T.A.T.A.) and the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation (AIM Healthcare) held at Les Deux Nightclub in Hollywood.

LISA ANN’S SUPERFANTASTIC HOMECOMING

The Biggest Star in Adult Today Going Back to Her Native Reading, PA

VENICE, CA – She may be a few years removed from high school, but Lisa Ann is set to be the homecoming queen this week when she heads back to her hometown for a three-night stand at Al’s Diamond Cabaret in Reading, PA.

“Gigs like this are kind of like hitting a homerun in the World Series at your home ballpark,” the sports-obsessed Lisa Ann said. “There is so much special about going back to where you grew up and being able to show them you’ve done something with your life.”

The timing couldn’t be better. She’s been in many of the biggest XXX hits of the last year, not the least of which is Hustler’s Nailin’ Paylin DVDs, New Sensations’ 30 Rock parody and Interactive Sex With Lisa Ann from Zero Tolerance. In the past year she has gone from superstar to living legend, a darling of the media and one of the biggest stars the industry has ever seen.

Before heading home this week, she performed in a scene for Naughty America, a scene directed by Christian where she matched up with Chris Johnson. She also did a shoot for Sweetheart Films before beginning preparations for the big homecoming trip. One of the upcoming releases she’s most excited about is Bases Loaded from Justin Slayer International. She performs with CJ Wright, Ice Cold and Prince Yashua. She says CJ inspires her and “makes me feel like nothing is out of my reach, hence me taking three beautiful cocks all at once, including a DP.”

Sounds like another home run for the girl who is headed back home this week!

“One of the great things about doing a hometown show is that you never know who is going to show up,” she said. “Anything is possible. And that adds a little additional pressure, too, and that’s when I perform best. Watch out, Reading!”

Lisa’s show times are as follows:
Thu: 11 pm
Fri: 1030 pm & 1 am
Sat: 9 pm, 11 pm & 1 am

Al’s Diamond Cabaret is located at 1810 N 5th St, Reading, PA 19604. For more information call 800-CABARET or visit www.alsdiamondcabaret.com/contact.html.
