She was dragged through the mud back in November when she had the audacity to promote literacy in elementary schools, and now former adult star Sasha Grey is on trial once again thanks to a porn company who is trying to donate money to the program on her behalf. Leaving the industry last April, Assence Films are releasing one of Grey's final scenes as part of Anal Artists and wanted to donate a portion of the proceeds – without her knowledge – to the National Education Association's Read Across America program, but they don't want the green. "Sasha Grey is not affiliated with the National Education Association's Read Across America program nor has she been invited or endorsed by NEA to read at any of the association's Read Across America Day events, and NEA will not accept any proceeds from her latest, or any of her films," reads a statement. Okay, so they don't want the money, but did they have to insult her by lying and saying she was never invited to read in the first place? Was she allowed to just wander into the school on that day and read to kids unfettered? Perhaps instead of setting a bad example by being liar liar pants on fires and making it all about how much of a leper she is they should focus on the porn company who are trying to get free press off the back of her notoriety. But, of course, it will instead devolve into a debate about whether people who enjoy consensual adult sex should be allowed near children. [Huff Po] More »

She wasn't doing it naked surrounded by 10 aroused guys, but nevertheless Sasha Grey has found herself at the center of an hysterical storm after parents of Emerson Elementary School in Compton complained that the former porn star was reading to first and third graders as part of Read Across America. Tweeting that she had a great time and the students were the "sweetest," a rep for the school district now denies she was ever there despite substantial photographic evidence to suggest otherwise. What's more intriguing than the fact that Sasha and the kids looked like they were having fun, is how the Helen Lovejoys even figured out her past in the first place. Were moms and dads typing complaint emails with one hand while keeping up-to-date with her Tweets or feverishly masturbating to one of her old clips with the other? [TMZ] More »

Sasha Grey is publishing a monograph. Writes the sometimes porn-star, "When I first got into the adult industry, I decided to take my photography much more seriously. I started taking a camera with me to capture my experiences on set, so it was a moment in time, a memory for myself-not the video that would be seen by thousands of people...Documenting myself has almost become a necessity." Unfortunately, the book's title may lead to comparisons with Madonna's foray into the medium. More »
