VIVID STUDIO INSIDER FOR AUGUST 27, 2010

MONTANA FISHBURNE SOARS TO #1 – Vivid Celeb’s Montana Fishburne zoomed to #1 on the AVN Charts this past week on the heels of intense publicity surrounding the release of her first sex video.  Ms. Fishburne continued to be a much sought-after interview on radio, television, and on the web and in print. She talked about her decision to make more movies with Vivid, about her choppy relationship with her father, famed actor Laurence Fishburne, and about other controversies in her life.  In addition, nude pictures of Montana appeared on Playboy.com, which termed her the “Hollywood bad girl.”  Montana also appeared in AsIs Magazine, which featured her on the cover and in an exclusive interview in a Special Edition of its Assets issue.  The magazine said Montana is the “ideal Assets woman at only 18, embodying the benefits of beauty, booty and brains."

VIVID AND HEIDI MONTAG MAKE HEADLINES – When news got out about sex tapes featuring former “Hills” star Heidi Montag, Vivid was immediately identified as the logical studio to bring it public. Led by TMZ, the media wrote non-stop about Heidi and her after her partner Spencer Pratt revealed the existence of tapes that featured her with former Playboy Playmate  Karissa Shannon.   Said TMZ in a story headlined Spencer Hocking Sex Tape Starring Heidi Montag:   “We're told Spencer has contacted the Rolls-Royce of porn -- Vivid Entertainment -- and is asking for a meeting.”  As the story developed Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch was “ambushed” by camera crews as he left the Hollywood restaurant Boa, and later sat down for a 10-minute interview on TMZ Live with TMZ chief Harvey Levin. In the interview Steven revealed he will go to Costa Rica to try to conclude a deal with Heidi and Pratt, and said of celebrity sex tapes in general:  “Love ‘em or hate ‘em, people talk about them all the time.”

AXEL BRAUN AND VIVID ANNOUNCE NEW PORN PARODIES --  Axel Braun and Vivid Entertainment have announced a slate of new movies to be distributed exclusively by Vivid.

On top of the already announced Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody, the 2011 lineup includes spoofs of the popular TV shows Law & Order, Starsky & Hutch, and The Addams Family, as well as classic movies like Grease, Clockwork Orange and The Godfather.  

"I've selected TV shows and movies that have not only been popular favorites, but in which I have a real emotional investment", said Braun.  "It makes working on these projects incredibly exciting for me and translates into products that are true labors of love".

Also last week, Vivid released the first image of Ryan Driller in costume as the title character in the upcoming Superman XXX: A Porn Parody.  Directed by Braun, the movie is a spoof of Richard Donner's 1978 film starring Christopher Reeve and Marlon Brando. With an all-star cast including Alexis Texas, Lexi Belle, Kristina Rose, Zoe Voss, and Andy San Dimas as Lois Lane, Superman XXX: A Porn Parody is taking the parody genre to a whole new level.  Featuring state-of-the-art special effects and Braun's legendary attention for details, the movie will be shot with RED cameras and will once more raise the bar for adult parodies.

"Axel is simply the best at what he does, and he is always 110% committed to his projects," said Steven Hirsch.  "The script is terrific, and we have assembled an incredible special FX team.  People are going to be blown away."

In other Porn Parody news….

Adult film superstar Evan Stone, who played The Riddler in the blockbuster hit "Batman XXX: A Porn Parody" literally stole the show last Friday night when he showed up in full costume at the Girls and Corpses magazine party for its "Alien Autopsy" issue.  As soon as he arrived at Meltdown Comics on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, The Riddler was mobbed by photographers, journalists and fans, who seemingly couldn't get enough of the masked puzzler. "It was a last minute decision" says Stone, "Axel Braun and I were having dinner on the strip with some friends when we heard of the party, and we thought it was a great opportunity have some fun!"
