XBIZ is reporting that lawyers for both "stud wonder" Harlow Cuadra and Joe "Trent" Kerekes have petitioned the court for an extension to delay their trial. Cuadra and Kerekes have been arrested and are being tried for the murder of Cobra Video owner Bryan Kocis. As of now that trial is scheduled to begin on March 24th of 2008. Both defense teams have concerns about lack of resources (the team for Cuadra are public defenders, the team for Kerekes are court-appointed counsel) and sufficient time to prepare a proper defense. In the event that either or both are convicted, the penalty phase of the trial (where it is decided whether or not they would receive the death penalty) would require many different character witnesses that need to be interviewed and pre-screened, all of which would take time that both legal teams feel like they don't have right now. There are also mountains of evidence that still have yet to be entered. Cuadra's lawyers have received 614 pages of evidence, and are expecting another 2,000. You can read the full story HERE.



NakedSword.com threw their annual holiday party this past Saturday), and as one of the guests, I can tell you it was OFF THE HOOK! It was held at the BOSS nightclub in San Francisco, and in attendance were hosts of the Tim And Roma Show (Tim Valenti and Sister Roma), videographer extraordinaire Mr. Pam, the always-adorable Tommy D (pictured above), the hotness that is Steve Cruz, DJing by Chi Chi La Rue, Trystian Sweet and Falcon Exclusive Tristan Jaxx (who arrived separately as they are no longer a couple), the gorgeous Derrick Hanson, and Vinnie D'Angelo and Dominic Sol (who are DEFINITELY dating, the rumors are true). It was awesome to see a lot of the industry's top directors (like La Rue, Hot House's Steven Scarborough, Raging Stallion Studios' Chris Ward, and COLT Studio Group's Kristofer Weston) all partying together and having a great time. One of the surprises was that there was not that much of a Falcon presence at the party. Aside from the aforementioned Jaxx, Falcon legend Colby Taylor stopped by for a hot minute, and Wolf Hudson (who was in the Russian River edition of Falcon's Jocks line of DVDs) were the only Falcon models there. No Roman Heart (who was expected to attend with new beau Benjamin Bradley), no Ryan Wade, no Jarics, no Matthew Rush, and no Dak Ramsey. The stars of Falcon's upcoming movie Dare (Riley Burke and Braxton Bond) were even in town for a Falcon TV shoot, but neither came to the NS party (but the word on the street was that it actually was a snafu with Riley's luggage at the airport which kept him from attending). Still it was a hot party with a 70's disco - Studio 54 theme, and a great example of how everyone can get along and come together as an industry and celebrate.

One of the things that I have gotten some feedback on is my use of blind items here. First, some people want to know what exactly they are and why do them? Well, in mainstream gossip columns (like Ted Casablanca's or Billy Masters', or Perez Hilton's) a blind item (when they report gossip without mentioning specific names) is usually used either when A) Matters of sexuality are involved because there was an unwritten policy amongst gossip columnists (that is slowly eroding with the Internet) to not out closeted celbrities, or B) when they fear they may be sued. Now, here in Gay Porn Land, A or B don't REALLY apply, so whenever I do a blind item it is usually because the story is too juicy not to tell, but might be embarrassing (like the case of the porn star with the exploding Restalyne lips) so it is just turned into a fun guessing game. So fun in fact that I have gotten requests to do more because people like trying to figure out who is who. Well, instead of just doing lame blind items like, "Which gay porn star likes strawberry ice cream?" (the correct answer to which would be, "Who the hell cares?") I only do them when I have something really juicy...so they're worth waiting for! And boy have I got a good one today....

Which current "It" twink of gay porn had better watch what he says and who he says it to? All that piss that he just loves to drink is NOTHING compared to the verbal diarrhea that has been coming out of his mouth. An example: He recently almost had a big studio shoot canceled because he didn't want to work with a specific model because he said that model "had done all this bareback porn in the past" and was HIV+. Well, not only were BOTH statements untrue (the scene partner in question hasn't even been in the industry for a full year and has NEVER done anything bareback on camera, and JUST had a full panel STD test, required for one of the websites he just shot for, and he is clean as a whistle), but "It" boy is the LAST person to make those allegations. Not only has he made more than a few bareback movies himself, but one of the producers of those films called all of his scene partners and said, "If you have ever done a scene with XXXXXX, you should go get tested because he just tested positive for HIV." So is this a case of "Methinks he doth protest too much," or "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones," or any other cliche' that you can think of? Oh well, if he keeps up this attitude, he won't continue to be on any year-end lists. I would wish him well with his newest business venture, but I'm afraid that would fall on deaf ears.
