Dirty, dirty, dirty. Nice girls don't do it, and their partners daren't ask. That is why anal access is the highest (or lowest) rung on porn's ladder. In fact, even the word "rung" sounds dirty in this context. And there is no greater anal acrobat than Belladonna, who sports a big black eye a few feet above her brown one, emphasizing the fact that the bum is the final frontier for sexual thrill seekers. So your job this week is to rename this tit...

Now that "Zack And Miri Make A Porno" is in theaters, it's not surprising to see that journalists are turning to pornstars for their, ahem, expert opinions on the film. We've already heard from director Audacia Ray, now Belladonna weighs in on the film—and gives advice to aspiring porn auteurs! As is to be expected, Belladonna's advice is pretty solid. Do you think she offers one-on-one training sessions? (asylum.com)

Have you picked out your Halloween costume yet? We're still working out the details on ours, but we think we're going to go as Belladonna. It's a pretty easy costume—just get a black wig, paint on some tattoos, and carry around a baseball bat... wait, you didn't get that last part? Um, maybe you should just watch this video then. (And Happy Halloween!) . . . · Baseball Bat, Huge Dildo, Hot Girl (megarotic.com)

Stevie Hart may be kind of new to the industry... okay, really new to the industry... okay, she just shot her first scene last week—but whatever, we're still supercrushed out on her. Sure, she may not have the chops of an experienced performer like Belladonna or Gianna Michaels... but hey, experience isn't everything. As far as we're concerned, Stevie's got the things that really matter: a cute look, an enthusiasm for the job, and a willin...

After eight grueling weeks of extreme pornstar on pornstar action, we've come to the conclusion of the first round of Extreme Pornstar Showdown. Battles were fought, performers were knocked out of the ring—and sometimes, it got so intense, we couldn't bear to look. But you soldiered on, and you chose your champions. We'll be giving the ladies the week off to recuperate and get ready for round two. In the meantime, check out the updated brac...

A Swedish minister has resigned from his parish after infecting the network with viruses... while surfing for porn. If only the world's religious leaders had heeded Belladonna's advice. A well stocked library of porno DVDs could have easily prevented this tragedy from occurring. (theregister.co.uk, via Gizmodo, thumbnail via)

Pornography has traditionally been seen as a man's game but—as we've noted many times before—as more and more women start working behind the scenes, that notion is quickly becoming outdated. Women are making porn (and making porn better), and we're certainly grateful to see that glass ceiling chipping away (if not outright crumbling). And we're not the only ones who feel that way: the team at XCritic is celebrating ladies making porn ...

Jenna Haze and Belladonna have been announced as the co-hosts of the next AVN Awards, and not, sadly, as co-hosts of a new all-nude edition of "The Price Is Right." Tell us you wouldn't want to watch Naked Plinko. (avn.com)

"Get on that carpet!" growled Max Hardcore to his jittery arm candy as a strolling Mexican family observed. "They need to see you!" The event was the "Pirates II" premiere at downtown L.A.'s jewel box Orpheum Theatre this weekend, and the adult industry was on notice that if they didn't attend they would be kicked out and banished to perform random blowjobs in Vancouver. Vancouver, Washington, no less. That is why Fleshbot West attended, and brou...

As the massive, seemingly interminable countdown to the release of Digital Playground's "Pirates II" ticks down to its final minutes, Porn Valley is readying to don its melon body spray-scented finest for the movie's world premiere screening in Hollywood tomorrow night. In the meantime, we here at Fleshbot are sitting here in our underwear as usual getting ready to upload even more behind-the-scenes preview pics from what we're assured is "the mo...

Much as she enjoys dominating the competition, sometimes Sasha Grey just needs to take a break from being queen of everything and let someone else boss her around. We just hope that Sasha feels free to take as much time off as she needs—she'll have to rest up for the next round of our Extreme Pornstar Showdown, after all. In the meantime, though, see how she's spending her down time after the jump. . . . om/view_video.php?viewkey=6ceebb805...
