Even though they do most of the goddamn work, male porn performers aren't the ones being swamped by autograph seekers and camera phone wielders in Las Vegas this week. The natty and affable Tee Reel understands this and takes it in stride, slowly building his own business and name recognition as well as a well-deserved reputation of solid performances. We asked him how he prepares for the AVN Expo.

"I brought eight outfits for the Expo," he said, "and change them twice a day. I try to take

While her surgeries and weight loss have altered her appearance, Jena Jameson's is still porn's most recognized name (non-porn media on the red carpet were overheard gasping "That's Jenna Jameson?"). Jameson has also attracted a great deal of mainstream attention, but mostly in the form of scrutiny of her surgical choices. Jameson seemed bitter when she told Saturday's AVN Awards crowd that she would "never spread her legs for the porn industry again" in one of the show's man

Paul Fishbein co-founded AVN in 1983 while a clerk in a Philadelphia video store. Then a newsletter for video stores about the emerging (and lucrative) adult video market, AVN has grown into a series of publications and websites as well as the sponsor of several trade shows, including this week's Adult Entertainment Expo. We spoke with Fishbein about the first porn movie he saw, the unpredictability of the adult market, and the emerging generational divide in porn.

"This inhuman place makes human monsters" repeats "The Shining"'s Danny Torrance in an eerie foreboding of the darkness one feels three days into the AVN Expo.

Here we find perennial Fleshbot crush object Cole Ryan, invulnerable to the menace stalking the halls of the Venetian. Painfully extending the metaphor, we followed Ryan closely for the rest of the evening to see if there was someone named Tony in his mouth.

Apple pervs nerds have probably been salivating all week since we learned that OhMiBod would be unveiling their newest iPhone and iPod-friendly upgrades this week at the AVN Expo. So naturally, when we got to Vegas their display booth was one of the first places we hit up in order to get a hands-on demonstration of their latest breakthrough. If the thought of your lover physically getting your rocks off using the vibrations of their own voice sounds a little too "Blade Runner" for your tastes, j

Despite some questionable "advertising", and an even more questionable location (buried in the Sands Expo Center basement's "Fan Theater," which is neither a theater or filled with fans), Fleshbot crush object and sexpert extraordinaire Jamye Waxman continued her AVN Expo quest to deliver orgasms to the female population of the world. (From what we understand, she's also in favor of orgasms for guys.) To be frank, attendance was a bit low at her Good Sex Workshops at the AVN Expo this a

We had a little trouble reconciling her quiet, soft demeanor with the orgasmic anal queen we've seen on film, but we've since resolved to never challenge her in anything more serious than a game of checkers. We sense there's a competitive streak lying beneath that polite smile that we don't want to mess around with

So what does the completely adorable and suddenly white-hot Jesse Santana, who we saw today at the AVN Expo signing copies of "On Fire" for Jet Set, plan on doing this weekend to celebrate the fact that he's been nominated for eight GAYVN Awards this year, making him this year's It Boy as far as most number of nominations is concerned? "I haven't really decided yet," he told us. "Something fun." Whatever he decides on doing, though, we're going to imagine he's doing in while

Apparently for the second year in a row, G4 and its venerable hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn "will guide viewers on a VIP tour of the must-see events, products and interviews at the famed convention." For two whole hours, which is like, probably way more time than might be necessary, but those of us who are sooper-excited to watch from afar will be totally ogling the broadcast event which will be airing Sunday, January 13, at 10pm ET/PT. Why? Because we totally dig their co-correspondents J...

If we were Kayden Kross (and we are!), we would be thinking, "I really do look fantastic. Screw this humility. I am hot like fire. I mean, look at my breasts. LOOK AT THEM! Sometimes I like to just smile at them and say 'I appreciate you (plural); thanks for being there."

We read some of Kayden's other thoughts concerning us, but we can't print them because your laptop would melt your thighs, and we spent all our lawsuit money this week on shrimp cocktails and hookers.

We roll up our sleeves and get our hands filthy when we need to (read:AEE), and manage to keep the home fires of babes burning while boobs are bursting like Alien pod creatures and Abby Winters honeys make Vegas actually look fun for about two minutes. But if there were anyone's shoes we'd love to step in and slip into the lubed-up, behind-the-scenes antics, it would be Sir Driven By Boredom himself, Sir Nate Smith, aka dbb. See why we'd trade Converse with him in a porny minute in h

The AVN Expo is the stage upon which porn studios show their faces to the world, and those faces are represented by convention booths. Thousands of fans will walk by dozens of exhibits and displays on the show floor, so the booth is each company's main opportunity to distinguish itself from its competitors and convey to the public what your company is all about. So how did this year's attendees choose to send that all-important message? We've put together a handy gallery of the bigge

The delightfully sunny Adrianna Lynn is so new to Digital Playground's roster that her first movies have not even been released yet, but that didn't stop her from having her coming out party at this year's AVN Expo. We have not even seen this alleged cheerleader orgy that she speaks of, but we have a gut feeling that the studio has yet another huge star on their hands. It may be her first time, but it seems pretty clear that Adrianna al...

Though some of us stayed home and ogled the occasionally dee-licious porn parade , many allegiant operatives were (as they say) hard at work covering AEE all for their very own blogs, pleasures, and these things we've heard of called "jobs". Peruse the indy plus porn MSM coverage and decide who got off working at it, or who were workin' it. The more interesting coverage is (ahem) cherry-picked for your perusal below...

Team Fleshbot is at the Mandalay Bay Events Center right now for the 2008 AVN Awards ... and you're not! But, like, we're totally not gloating about that: chances are that however you're spending your Saturday night is a lot more pleasant and comfortable than watching an overlong awards ceremony on giant screens from uncomfortable seats in a cavernous arena. Then again, it probably also doesn't involve watching dozens of barely legal porn starlets teetering down the red carpet i

200 people (and one Lorax) walked the AVN Awards red carpet last Saturday night, and the line of porn stars and their co-walkers lengthened down the hallways of Mandalay Bay for more than three hours. Altogether it was an orderly group, and we can tell you from personal experience that it was the press photographers who were the least well-behaved. Here we see a load of starlets (that is their official collective term) getting ready for the carpet media gauntlet, which ran from Dave Navarro at o
