PARAMUS, NJ — GENESIS Magazine, “the Home of Porn’s Hottest Stars,” is proud to announce to release the 11th annual edition of their “Porn’s Hot 100” issue. The January 2010 issue of the magazine has a free inserted mini-mag that ranks the 100 hottest stars in the adult industry.
Adult and mainstream sensation Sasha Grey has earned the top spot in this year’s rankings thanks to a very busy and successful 2009 that saw her not only rise to new heights in the adult world, but also break down barriers in Hollywood and beyond.
“Ever since Sasha entered adult she has made a name for herself in the industry with her amazing scenes, all-natural beauty and forward-thinking vision,” said Dan Davis, Editor-in-Chief of GENESIS. “This last year saw Sasha not only increase her popularity in adult to uncharted heights, but become a household name thanks to her various accomplishments, and that is everything the top star of the year should do.”
Sasha’s year began winning AVN’s coveted “Female Performer of the Year” honors and continued by her starring in various adult hits such as Vivid’s Throat: A Cautionary Tale, Digital Playground’s Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge and Nurses, This Ain’t Star Trek XXX (Hustler), Sun Goddess: Mailbu (skinworXXX) and The Five (Adam & Eve) plus her usual string of chart-topping all-sex movies. Grey also started her own production company, Grey Art, and made various appearances in all areas of adult media, including a starring role on the Showtime reality series, “Deeper Throat.” But it was without a doubt the biggest news of the year when Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh handpicked Sasha to star as the lead in his film, The Girlfriend Experience. Sasha received rave reviews for her role as a call girl and she received numerous accolades thanks to her groundbreaking casting, including an appearance on “Last Call with Carson Daly” and a feature story in Rolling Stone.
“I am genuinely shocked and extremely flattered that I garnered the number one spot this year!” Sasha exclaimed shortly after learning about her number one ranking. “Sincerest thanks go out to all of my fans and GENESIS magazine for this honor. I’ve had a lot of fun and success in diversifying my ventures this year, and hopefully 2010 will bring more of the same!”
The January issue of GENESIS also includes an exclusive centerfold layout of Sasha shot by talented photographer and filmmaker, Ian Cinnamon. Cinnamon has a keen eye and a penchant for the avant garde. It is no wonder he is now sole documentarian for the experiences and exploits of his fiancé, Sasha Grey. Ian is also co-creative director (along with Grey) for her production company. His work has appeared in numerous publications including: Contra, Rolling Stone, Metro, AVN, Time Out Chicago, SF Gate, SNR, Montreal Mirror, just to name a few. His work will also appear alongside Sasha’s in her upcoming sexual philosophy book, due out in the early part of 2010.
The top ten (in order) “Porn’s Hot 100” also features Jenna Haze, Digital Playground star Jesse Jane, Tera Patrick, Wicked’s Stormy Daniels, Adam & Eve’s Bree Olson, Brianna Banks, Belladonna, Joanna Angel and Gianna Michaels.
