Taylor Rain posts on www.lukeford.com: "Taylor here getting ready to go see some friends at a club with Nate... so I wanted to give you guys an update.

Fayner was banned, he knows too much dirt on Ramone and Fishbein and he's too honest, honesty and integraty don't mix with AVN well.

The awards were great, I was so HAPPY for Savannah Sampson... she was so beautiful and I adore her soo much!! And Tory Lane was really hot on stage, I loved her dress. OH YA and Jessica Drake wore the most beautiful red dress. THANK YOU CIndy Crawford for helping me deal with the stress and nerves by walking with me and holing my hand down the red carpet. Thank you Kelly, Anthony, Asher and Norman for your hugs!!!!

I'm also happy for Randy Spears and Janine!!

I didn't win anything, AGAIN. I guess it really is true, the only way you win is to fuck Fishbein, suck off Mike Ramone or take Heidi Pike's fat ass out for free lunches. I was hopin I'd win based on my work for this and the last 5 years, oooopsie, I made a poooopsie. I just woke up and realized that the AVN crew are more of a whore than I could ever be. I'm glad to be retired, so I don't have to see those bribe taking fuckers again.

Thanks to all my fans who lined my booth, thanks to all my friends in the business who stopped to say hi. I love you all. I'm also sorry to Defiance Films who lost out to Swank Digital for best new company, I'm sorry but WHO is Swank Digital? Never fucking heard of them. Guess the guys over at XXXPornTalk were right. It's not about merit, it's about lining the pockets of the fucking sluts of AVN Staff. Fishbein, Ramone, Farley, Johnson, all you whores. SORRY XPTers for not seeing the light!!

To the winners of this yars AVN Awards, congratulations and i wish you all well !!

Willie D posts on www.xxxporntalk.com: I don't know how the whores do it, honestly. Standing upright all day signing and letting sweaty fanboys grope them...laying down at night and letting sweaty hired dicks grope them. I need to sit down for a bit. This installment brought to you courtesy of Room 21133 at Harrah's, who has generously allowed me to log into his internet service from the Venetian:

1. Confirmed attendees from XPT: myself, Burglar, Chico T, Monstar, Gia J, Paadova, Tony, Jeff Mike, Grip Johnson. Whores include Ashley Blue, Melissa Lauren, Ava Devine, and Missy Monroe, who is driving the fanboys crazy by wearing tassels, some skimpy bottoms, and a smile, writhing on top of the JM table.

2. AC Cream get mad. AC McFanboy has been around here all day. Monstar says AC was buying him drinks last night, in apparent ignorance of M*'s existence here. Later at night AC was said to be very drunk, looking for an XPTer he could starta fight with. Jeff, Burg, Monstar and I look around---we're sure any of us could waste him. AC has been reading the thread religiously, we're told.

3. M* admits he's been a little to free with the "whore" terminology. Jeff says that's nonsense.

4. Gia Jordan has gone from cute to ultra slutty...pics will probably be forthcoming. Her top is a t-shirt that reads "Voted Most Likely to Suck Seed."

5. No sightng of Holly Randall (or Luke). Hmmmm.

6. Jeff thinks he may have met Simp.

7. I met Ryan Knox. Shook his hand as I showed him my name plate, and explained, "You know...XPT...XXX Porn Talk... "Oh, yeah." He may be out of it. Kelly Madison has an awesome rack.

8. Gen asks me if I've seen Cytherea as a 20-year-old fanboy walks up and asks for an autograph. As we regale the young lad with our assessment of the piss queen (methhead, crack whore, squirt faker), the kid has been fully poisoned forever. I doubt he will ever watch porn again.

Saevus Maximus posts on www.xxxporntalk.com: LAS VEGAS - Saturday. The day that traditionally has been marked by an opening of the floodgates onto unbridled, beyond-gridlocked hysteria at AVN's Adult Entertainment Expo. It's the big day for fan turnout, and the most nerve-wracking one of the year for the hundreds of directors, performers, writers and other production personnel nominated for the biggest honor in adult, an AVN Award, given out in the grand ballroom of the Venetian after the sun goes down.

Today, things have certainly been loud, crowded and bustling, but not as shoulder-to-shoulder glutted as in years past. Not inside the convention halls, anyway. The corridors leading to them, though? Well, that's another story. In fact, part of the reason it's not so jam-packed on the floor is most likely due to the much more stringent admittance control being exercised this year, with exhibitors and fans alike being required to show photo i.d.'s and get their hands stamped in order to make it through the doors.

Of course, another factor contributing to the seemingly lighter crowd on the floor is the sheer immensity of it, more spread out than ever before and broken up onto two floors of the Sands Expo Center. But the masses turned out, and they turned out in droves. Looking at the sea of people lined up at the ticket booths downstairs - a line that snaked from wall to wall in the entranceway and out into the hall, past all the staircases and beyond as far as you could see - was one hell of a sight. And they were being treated to some preliminary entertainment while they waited, with various girls being pulled onto a stage at the front of the downstairs hall to be interviewed about their range of on-screen sex acts. One particularly interesting interviewee was a very pregnant Kylie Worthy, who said she isn't doing any bun-in-the-oven videos, but will be getting back to doing all sorts of other wild stuff once her child is born.

The traffic on the lower floor was somewhat sparse, which was understandable, since all the big stars were stationed on the top level at the production companies' booths. But there were plenty of interesting things to come across downstairs, including industry veteran William Margold, who was manning the booth for Protecting Adult Welfare, his porn counseling organization, and had a mouthful to say about AVN and the imminent Awards show.

"AVN has come a long way," he told us. "I've always called it the bible for a godless industry." As for his feelings on the front-running contenders of the year, he very blunted offered that, "I haven't seen Pirates [Digital Playground/Adam & Eve] but Devil [in Miss Jones, Vivid Entertainment Group] is an absolutely insufferable movie." Margold, incidentally, is nominated for Best Non-Sex Performance for his work in Red Light District Films' Dark Side.

In the hallway upstairs, we ran into talent agent Mark Spiegler, who was wearing a black t-shirt reading, "How about a nice cup of shut the fuck up?" and was flanked by porn gals Mandy Starr and Elizabeth Lawrence, as well as new male performer J.C. Stinger. "Did I tell you about my new movie part?" he asked us. "I'm in Bareback Mountain playing Steven St. Croix's wife."

Inside, a huge bank of cameras was flashing in front of the Club Jenna booth, as Jenna herself posed with fans. And at the Evil Angel booth, Belladonna and Katja Kassin were getting plenty of snapshot love of their own, including some from Bella's devoted hubby Aiden.

We had to make our way over to the JM Productions booth to see if the Girlvert (a.k.a. Ashley Blue) had anything amusing to say. She did.

"Check this out," she exclaimed, producing an issue of Fox magazine and flipping it open to a picture of a girl's bunghole. "This is the most spectacular specimen of hemorrhoids I've ever seen. I want to find this girl [somebody named Jenny] and get her to sign her hemorrhoids."

Blue was then pulled aside for a quote from Buttman magazine's Scott Small, whom she told, "I hate Buttman magazine."

As the day pressed on, the excitement level remained high, sure to rise to a fever pitch in the remaining hours leading up to the Awards show. Check back here immediately afterwards to see the list of winners.
