Tyra Talks About Watching Brandy's Brother's Sex Tape
Remember when Brandy had a wholesome image? But then her life went down a road β as it so often does with child stars β that was paved with hard knocks, scandal and embarrassment. (Getting knocked up out of wedlock, making up a story that she'd secretly gotten married months prior to insemination, killing a lady in a car accident.) Well, Brandy was on Tyra yesterday to promote a new album. After she was done kissing Brandy's ass, Tyra decided to get weird and ask her if she ever watched her brother's sex tape with Kim Kardashian. Then tried to lie and say she never saw it. Then admitted to watching it for "research." You can almost see Brandy's skin crawl in the clip above. -

Why Won't Sexist Advertising Go Away?
In an essay on The Huffington Post, writer Alex Leo notes that while this was a big year for women — the first serious female presidential candidate, the first predominately female state senate, the first female Top Chef — the advertising world has a lot of catching up to do. Ms. Leo names the five sexist trends in ads that just won't die: -

More Women In Porn Making Waves Behind The Camera
While Hugh Hefner's daughter Christie (seen at left) may be one of the more famous women in porn who's never actually been in porn, there are actually plenty of women cashing in on the industry. MSNBC's Brian Alexander talked to more than a few of them about what it's like to make your money in an industry that many people consider less-than-mainstream — and far from than feminist. -

Political Porn
Last week, British actors Thandie Newton and Ricky Gervais were employed by The Graham Norton Show to add some much needed British wit to the poetic script of the political porno, Who's Nailin' Palin. Naturally, Thandie Newton knocked such lines as "Why dontcha take yer nuts out of your little Gucci purse, grab your noodle and act like a man" and "Feast yer eyes on Mama's jugs," out of the park. Sigh. The NSFW — well, depending on how cool your boss is with sophisticated political discourse — clip can be viewed by clicking on the picture at left. [Funny Or Die] More » -

Are "Girls Saying Yes" To A Tasteless Political Message?
Some Brooklyn denizens have taken it upon themselves to recreate the iconic 1960s anti-war poster featuring Joan Baez that said "Girls say yes to boys who say no." The new (pro-Obama) poster reads "Girls say yes to men who say Obama," and it's creating a wee tempest in the ladyblogosphere. The women of Bust are pro-poster, calling it "cheeky" and adding, "Itβs nice to see that politics can still be fun." The women at Salon aren't so amused. More » -

On Friday a "gonzo porn" director named "Max Hardcore" was sentenced to 46 months in prison on obscenity charges. Some are arguing that this is a violation of the 1st amendment, but blogger Susannah Breslin has a more nuanced take. "In Max Hardcore movies—"Anal Agony," "Hardcore Schoolgirls," "Max! Don't Fuck Up My Mommy!"—women are verbally and physically degraded in an unprecedented myriad of ways...Most of the time, Little as Hardcore is the perpetrator of these actsβ¦Watching Little's work is less like watching a porn movie than it is akin to witnessing a vivisectionβ¦if you're going to posit Paul 'Max Hardcore' Little as the latest victim of the Bush administration, if you're going to lament one more strike against your First Amendment rights, you should bear witness as to what a porn star drenched in vomit looks like."

In Brief
An "internet researcher" has discovered that porn's internet reign is over: "Young users spend so much time on social networks that they don't have time to look at adult sites." Whereas XXX stuff was previous the top net activity, porn surfing has dropped to only about 10 percent of searches; MySpace and Facebook now occupy the top slots. "As social-networking traffic has increased, visits to porn sites have decreased,'" said the researcher, adding that 18- to 24-year-olds particularly are searching less for porn." Of course, no allowance is made for the fact that these kids probably don't need to look at porn because of MySpace, but...hey, semantics! [New York Post] -

The Telegraph has unearthed a new "trend" on YouTube in which young women post videos of themselves begging for sex to get revenge on their cheating boyfriends. Sadly, two of the videos that are evidence of this "trend" are obvious fakes. One video (link NSFW) shows a blonde woman robotically reading from a script and then directing potential suitors to call her at a pay-per-minute phone number, which sounds more like a porn scam than a search for boyfriend revenge. Another video shows a brunette actress named Stacy Cunningham who seems to be performing a screen test, not a search for sex. Welcome to the internet, Telegraph; we should also let you know that your Nigerian Prince isn't going to transfer that 18 million GBP into your bank account any time soon. [Telegraph] -

The Tragedy Of Althea Flynt
Last night IFC aired the documentary Larry Flynt: The Right to be Left Alone, which went into detail about the porn publisher's life, work, and crusade for free speech. The most gripping parts of the film focused on Flynt's wife Althea, whom he met when she was just 17. Althea had a really tragic life β her father shot her mother and grandparents when she was eight, then she and her four siblings were raised in orphanages until she ran away as a teenager β and perhaps an even more tragic death. Once a driven, articulate woman and editorial director of Hustler, she spiraled into drug addiction, was diagnosed with AIDS in 1983 (which Larry insists was caused by a drug transfusion after a hysterectomy), and, four years later, drowned in a bathtub after drug overdose. There were together for 16 years, Flynt's longest relationship, and he still calls her his soul mate. Clip above. -

Jenna Jameson Plays "Coy" In Order To Get What She Wants
There's a short feature on retired porn star Jenna Jameson in this month's Esquire, and in it, she describes herself as a "powerful woman" and goes on to say "I think thatβs intimidating to a man, on every level. Thatβs why I always go out of my way to be ultranice and ultrasweet and coy, because it makes people feel comfortable, and I want people to feel comfortable around me before I put them in a headlock."

Japanese Porn Star, 74, "Is Healthier Than He's Ever Been"
We've written about famed 74-year-old Japanese porn star Shigeo Tokuda before. And this morning, there was report on CNN detailing Tokuda's success. (Clip above.) He has 200 X-rated flicks "under his belt" and plans to work until he is 80β¦ Or older. Why porn? "I retired and didn't have anything to do," Tokuda laughs. Though Japan has more people over 65 than any other country in the world, CNN's Kyung Lah notes that 80 million Americans are about to retire. Will this trend catch on stateside? And will there ever be an older woman porn star? More » -
Don't Look Now
Movie Sex Still Has The Power To Titillate
The sex scene between Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie in the 1973 Nicholas Roeg classic Don't Look Now always makes the top ten lists of best cinematic nookie ever. And for good reason, as the Guardian's Mark Lawson points out: the scene is "an extended, fragmented, ecstatic encounter." But Lawson uses that sex scene, and other "soft-porn" scenes from the 70s, to prove a point that I don't necessarily agree with. More » -

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Has Never Used A Vibrator
So this explains a lot: Elisabeth Hasselbeck has never used a vibrator, and she won't be starting anytime soon. This morning on The View, the ladies were discussing something that they've talked about a million times before: whether or not your man jerking off to porn β or jerking off at all β is a deal breaker. (It's insane to think that people would hold masturbation against someone.) Elisabeth said she's not OK with it, because it makes her feel as though, if a man has to go to fantasize about anything but her, then that means she's not good enough. Jeez, for someone who's not into masturbation, she's sure as shit into herself. Anyway, Whoopi asked if she ever used a vibrator, and Elisabeth said no, because she enjoys sharing intimacy with another person. Clip above. -

Airport Sedition: The Surge Isn't Working And Neither Is John McCain's Common Sense
I'm chilling out at Frankfurt Airport, desperately trying not to eavesdrop on any of the completely uninteresting conversations going on around me or gag from the smells of weird German lunch meats wafting up from the group of old people eating behind me. Luckily I have the redesigned Washington Independent's Attackerman, Spencer Ackerman, by my electronic side, ready, willing and able to provide me with some pre-flight entertainment in the form of a discussion about Republi-porn, the Surge, McCain's Viagra usage, Iraqistani and how my masseur Antoine and Alex Pareene kept me from going absolutely crazy.

Advertising Taking Cues From Porn: What Is The World Cumming To?
Over on Copyranter yesterday, there was a Trojan ad in which a pig shoots a cum-shot-looking load of tanning lotion onto a woman's back. The point of the ad is that human men are not swine and therefore jizz into a condom. Only pigs spooge on your back! Sure, it's a condom ad, anything goes. But Trojan is not the only company using images straight out of porn flicks to shill their products. More » -

"Old Man" Porn Is Fun For All Ages
Shigeo Tokuda is the famed 74-year-old Japanese porn star behind a new Japanese genre of Japanese adult entertainment dubbed "old man porn." And its growth is anything but mature. Tokuda's ouevre comprises such diverse titles as Maniac Training of Lolitas to Forbidden Elderly Care. Young people love him because he has "something that only an older generation has and the young people do not possess, because they lived that much more," in the words of the director. And older people love him because, in contrast to the youngsters and their "school dramas," they can relate to him. Really, it's somewhat analogous to the John McCain phenomenon! And yeah, I know what you're thinking, readers. You're thinking, "Great, just another way men get to grow old and saggy and clog their arteries without any of the devastating desexualization we have to go through." But! More » -

Porn Star Tera Patrick Plans "World Domination"
The Insider loves its female porn star coverage, so it was no surprise to us to see Tera Patrick featured on last night's "In Depth" segment. What was surprising (and encouraging) was how positive the piece was. Tera is sort of the new Jenna Jameson, in that she's totally crossing over into mainstream media. However, unlike Jenna, Tera doesn't have a bitter attitude toward the industry that's made her a star. Also, unlike Jenna, Tera seems to still be eating. She's voluptuous and upbeat and unapologetic, and we kinda love her for it. However, at the end of the segment, The Insider noted that Tera and her husband (ex-Biohazard bassist Evan Seinfeld) are working on a joint "biography." Really, Insider? Who are they writing about?

A Porn Addiction Is A Little More Than Just An Interest
Not that anyone here is looking to get sex advice from Fox News Sexpert Yvonne Fulbright, but some people probably do so I figured someone needed to respond to her article 8 Signs Your Partner is Addicted to Porn, which is actually more like "Universal Signs There Are Problems In Your Relationship" rather than an actual addiction — which, if you accuse him of having, you're not likely to really get a productive response because you're already not communicating if these things are going on. But, join me after the jump as I deconstruct her unhelpful advice that is mostly based on porn-shaming and the people who do it and less on actual protocols for identifying addictive behavior.
