Have I mentioned lately how much I love Vivid Entertainment? I swear they are fast becoming the TMZ of the adult entertainment world. Not so much in a “get-in-your-face-and-cause-you-to-beat-a-photographer” sort of way. But a fun, “they-definitely-don’t-take-themselves-too-seriously” kinda vibe. And I gotta admit…(here it comes, a lifetime of ridicule)…that John Mayer is one funny fucker.
So who could blame Vivid on wanting a piece of the action?
Word around town is that Vivid founder and co-chairman Steven Hirsch has once again jumped at the chance to catch lightning in a bottle by sending Mayer a letter, offering him a chance to write and possibly direct an adult film. Say what?? I know!!
But this didn’t come out of left field. In true John Mayer spirit, he is quoted (in the very same Playboy article that got him in all that N-word trouble we’ve heard so much about) as saying that his “biggest dream is to write pornography.” Enter Hirsch, arguably the mayor of pornodome, population = everybody.
Don’t misread this article as being authored by someone who’s naive. I know he’s not going to do it. OF course he’s not going to do it. I was excited as hell at the prospect of Conan O’Brien doing a porn but I certainly didn’t believe it would ever happen. Don’t you just wish we’d get that kind of celebrity again though? One who just doesn’t give a fuck? Someone who’s too big to fall? So they could go on doing whatever the fuck they wanted? It would have to be a George Clooney meets Bono meets Screech from “Saved by the Bell.” (Yeah I know his real name, but I don’t want to have to put it in bold).
Rock on Vivid. It’s all a numbers game. Keep a healthy stack of those offer letters handy.
