Porn Valley- George Whitty of the Temptation Awards was on KSEX Friday night. Whitty announced that after a week of hell, the awards show is now scheduled to go on Saturday night at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles.Wankus wanted to make sure that Whitty had a smile on his face before he sat him down on one of the KSEX couches.

“He had one fucked up week,” Wankus announced. Whitty had to agree.

“We went from being at the Beverly Hilton who cancelled because of a mis-payment that their own lawyers can’t find on the contract,” Whitty explained.

“They sent us an e-mail saying we are canceling your event because you did not give us a payment on July 19. We asked their legal team to point to us in the contract which clause it was.”

Noting that the Hilton canceled Thursday of last week on them, Wankus was quick to point out that this wasn’t some barbecue but a black tie event.

“This was their first time out and they were going first class- obviously the Beverly Hilton is quite the venue. This isn’t something where you can go to Bob’s Bar & Grille and do it.”

All of that said, Whitty managed to get another venue on short notice which was the Ritz-Carlton in Pasadena.

“They were totally anxious to have us,” Whitty noted. “They were dying to have us. They were very accommodating. We flew down on Tuesday to sign contracts with them and with our celebrity host and start making arrangements.” On Wednesday Whitty met with the hotel’s event people.

“We paid them a lot of money and we started making plans- everything was good.”

Through Thursday the event was still on, according to Whitty ass they followed up through set-ups and banquet arrangements.

“Then I went out to lunch with Paul from Sinsation Pictures at the Westin Bonaventure,” Whitty continued. “I get a call from them and it’s a conference call. And they go, George, we were doing very well until we got your awards today. We have custom crystal, awards.” According to Whitty someone at the hotel took it upon themselves to open a box of the awards.

“They opened up a box and the box they opened up was the presentation box- and the award said best Anal scene,” Whitty continued. “The award was so apparently offensive to them that they brought this to the general manager of the hotel. Supposedly all of a sudden they don’t know that we’re an adult organization, that this is an adult award show.” Whitty said his company specifically stated to them in advance what was going on.

“We had gone through exactly what it was because they wanted to know exactly why we moved from the Hilton, why it was canceled there and why it was being done on such short notice,” Whitty continued. “We went through all of this in front of many people, in front of their organization, the whole thing.”

[Evidently Whitty issued a press release placing the onus upon Jill R. Hilts, Director of catering and sales for the Ritz-Carlton Pasadena giving the reason for the cancellation stating, ‘This is an awards ceremony that celebrates the porno industry” and that the Ritz-Carlton “cannot have porno stars” in their hotel. “We cannot permit activities at the Hotel that our employees and many of our guests will find highly offensive,” Hilts went on to say.]

However, a last ditch effort- with the help of Wankus- secured a venue at the Westin Bonaventure.

“It’s all good and we got approval from the general manager,” says Whitty. “That is a pretty nice place. In fact Tony Blair is staying there next week.” According to Whitty he even had to meet with Secret Service to get approval.

“There is definitely a clause in the contract now and it was signed- they had the general manager sign it so that no one can claim later on that some one up the chain didn’t know about this,” Whitty stated. “Everyone knew about it.” Wankus said he got a call from one of the presenters wondering if they should go or not.

“But it’s fine- everything’s going to be good,” he said. According to Whitty tickets are available and you could buy them online from Ticket Web.

Because Team Tyler’s nominated for a couple of awards, Wankus busted Whitty’s balls about the fact that Temptation was announcing that Thar She Blows, a nominee for Best Comedy was from Black Widow Productions which is the distributor.

“We’re new- we’re trying to brand ourselves,” Wankus said. Whitty said something about his web programmer’s mother dying and that he was away in Australia.

“The website itself is not updated,” he pointed out. Wankus imagined that Whitty must have been jumping off roofs.”If this thing fell apart it would look really bad for you guys.”

“We would have been finished,” Woody conceded. “We staked everything on this show and we haven’t gotten money back from these hotels. To make this thing happen, I personally put $75,000 on my credit cards to make this happen. I want this to happen especially after being insulted by a hotel that they don’t want ‘porno stars’ at their hotel. They did say it in writing.

“Howard Levine from Vivid commented that you’re not going to make any money on these awards- you might make money suing the people,” Whitty continued. Black tie is preferred but suit and tie is also permissible.

Whitty emphasized that dress should be acceptable so that the hotel doesn’t have a problem.

“And the Secret Service is going to be there.”
