I’ll admit that I’m shocked to hear myself say this but it looks like CNN did their research. Or, rather, they talked to quite a few of the right people. They spoke with the aforementioned Dan Miller as well as Alexander Raymond Palumbo, social media strategist for Digital Playground. They also checked in with Chauntelle Tibbals, a scholar studying the porn industry. And, to represent the porn star side of things, they talked with James Deen, Dana DeArmond and Kayden Kross.

And what they write is true: Twitter has helped the porn industry. We all watch porn, after all. The problem is that porn has often been seen as a shady, hidden thing. So, despite the fact that everyone watches it, there was always a bit of a divide between porn makers and porn viewers. Twitter may just have changed all that by bridging the divide and making our favorite porn stars accessible.

Another thing that Twitter has managed to change were some of the stereotypes about porn stars. James Deen, for example, has built a lot of his reputation off of the demeanor he presents on Twitter: he’s the silly boy next door. Kayden Kross also defies porn star stereotypes by tweeting about horses and literature. Dana DeArmond, on the other hand, has made her mark on Twitter by being one of the most down-to-earth and responsive porn stars on the site. (For even more porn stars who tweet, check out our coverage of some of the porn stars with the biggest followings.)

In fact, the porn stars I’ve encountered on Twitter reinforce this: they’re regular people tweeting about their lives. If you’re on Twitter, why not check out some porn stars? After all, CNN seems to think it’s a good idea. Oh and, hey, why not follow us on Twitter while you’re there?

The rocker guitarist (Jane’s Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers) is excited to reprise his role in the evenings antics, saying “I have been to many award shows in my time, but none compare to the AVN Awards.”

All the excitement goes down on January 9th, 2010 for a Showtime broadcast to be aired at a later date. The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas takes over this year as host.

Anyone have an extra ticket?

“Push 2 Play” features a bevy of porn goddesses, including Crista Moore, Alexis Texas, Bridgette B, Alanah Rae and Kagney Linn Karter.

This “fuck flick” has Alanah Rae getting massive cock in both her mouth and poon from porn rebel James Deen.

Alexis Texas gets fucked good by Scott Nails (and how couldn’t she with a name like that?). Meanwhile, Bridgette B swallows a generous portion of Tommy Gunn, and Crista Moore gets a cunt pounding by international stud Mick Blue.

The whipped cream and cherry on top is when Kagney Linn Karter hooks up with Scott Nails, who plugs in to all of Kagney’s sensational outlets.

“Push 2 Play” will be released next week courtesy of Robby D’s Hand Held Pictures/Digital Playground.

In “Jesse Jane Online” (Digital Playground), Jesse Jane gets fucked by three guys (see, online dating does work!).

The three lucky bastards by the way: Scott Nails, Ben English, and Mick Blue.

“Online” also stars Shawna Lenee, who discovers the joys of getting laid through online dating after meeting Tommy Gunn. Additionally, Madelyn Marie makes an appearance with her fellow NSA partner, Danny Mountain.

Famed porn director Robby D took the helms on the project, and Jesse Jane was his first choice for the lead. She agreed to the project after her agent faxed the script over to her – one page at a time – and got hooked within the first ten pages.

“Jesse Jane Online” was set for release on November 11^th.
