How To Be A Lover, PornStar & Jet-Set Fabulous








Luke Hamill and Dolph Lambert are among the Bel Ami performers who will meet and greet fans during GAYVN Awards weekend in San Francisco, March 27-28. In addition to attending the gala awards ceremony March 28 at the Castro Theatre, the Bel Ami crew will host a tailgate party March 27 at the 440 Castro bar. Located in the heart of San Francisco's famed Castro district, the event is part of NakedSword's big evening of tailgate parties preceding the big event. Giveaways and Bel Ami movie screenings will be part of the fun, a studio spokesman said.
Bel Ami plans to give fans a play-by-play update about the studio's trip to the West Coast by Twittering from every event the Bel Ami boys attend. Followers will receive updates from the party at 440 Castro and the GAYVN Awards, pictures and contest information on the studio's page at Twitter.com/BelAmiOnline.
The Gorgeous Dolph Lambert
Bel Ami titles and performers are nominated for several GAYVN Awards, including Best Actor (Brandon Manilow and Ralph Woods), Best Newcomer (Lambert), Best Cinematography and Best Director (both for Bel Ami founder George Duroy), Best All-Sex Film and Best Pro/Am Film (both for A+2), Best Foreign Release (French Kiss and Lemonade) and Best Cumshot (in Johan's Journal).

The studio's three-year investment in digital technology was recognized with nominations for Best Site of the Year and Best Twink Site, both for the studios online flagship, BelAmiOnline.com.
Kameron Scott who is a huge baseball fanatic, racquetball player, contributing blogger and porn star newcomer has now resolved that he won't be having sex on camera again. My source says that in talking with Kameron he related,
"I've met the right man for me...and I've finally gotten my dream job and I get to use my college degree. My boyfriend, my agent and I talked about this extensively...and I'm 200% sure this is what I want to do..."
After only a year in front of the camera, the 21-year-old star simply packed his bags and split to Nashville, Tennessee. Kameron a native of the tidewater area of Virginia moved to South Florida this past year and really lived it up in Orlando and Ft Lauderdale. Kameron has appeared in a number of porn movies and appears on a number of websites. He also is one of our bloggers here and has a post, called My Life At Hand.
We suspect Kameron will make his official announcement here at anytime. Our source also says that Kameron will continue to make himself available for personal appearances and we hope to continue to read his posts here at Just One Hot Minute.
Another source we hear from has related near Just One Hot Minute that Kameron may be one of the coveted and rare few newcomers who may be named Newcomer of the Year at next year's GAYVN AWARDS to be held in March. We just wonder that with such an announcement of Kameron retiring will it pose an issue for such a nomination/award at GAYVN if he is no longer an active filmstar?
Let's hear your thoughts and await Kameron's official statement here at Just One Hot Minute. You may also connect with Kameron on our social networking platform, BoyShout by clicking here or visit Kameron on his MySpace page.
In any event we hope Kameron enjoys Nashville and doesn't party 2 hard on Printers Alley. Also we are happy that Kameron has a boyfriend ... kudos Kam !
All the action is heading back to the epicenter of gay culture as the GAYVN Awards prepares to return to the historic landmark Castro Theatre on March 28, 2009. The 11th annual GAYVN Awards will be presented by NakedSword.com and will feature a 3-day weekend of events, all culminating with the Big Game: the show known as the Oscars of Gay Porn.
The Castro Theatre is a San Francisco landmark, and thus will add an aura of both glamour and history as we celebrate the best and brightest in our industry. Harker Jones, editor in chief of GAYVN magazine, said,
"Returning to the Castro marks a triumphant return to the venue where we put on what is considered one of our best shows ever - the 2007 GAYVNs, hosted by Emmy winner and Grammy nominee Kathy Griffin."
"NakedSword.com is the End Zone for all the nominated studios and performers on the web, and is excited to take on the role of co-producer for the 2009 GAYVN Awards," said NakedSword CEO Tim Valenti.
"We have a winning playbook filled with exciting ways to stimulate consumers while celebrating our industry friends, and we look forward to turning the GAYVNs into an anticipated annual event in San Francisco. We are revved up and ready to take all the action to the streets!"
The kick-off event will be an industry party sponsored by Unzipped Media on Thursday, March 26. Tickets will cost $50 and all proceeds will go to benefit ASACP.
On Friday, March 27th, the bars of San Francisco's Castro District will host the biggest studios and nominees of the year for a giant tailgate party that only NakedSword and the Stop AIDS Project could orchestrate. From bar to bar the boys will be stiffer than the drinks, spilling out into the streets to welcome consumers to share in the excitement of the night. Fans will be able to mingle with their favorite players, from MVPs to rookies!
Before the Big Game kicks off, join Tim and Roma for a live taping of The Tim & Roma Show at a pre-show brunch, Saturday, March 28, starting at 11am. All proceeds from the brunch will benefit the StopAIDS Project, proving a great way to support the community as we gear up for the Main Event.
That evening, the entire weekend of events will come to a head with the Big Game, the 11th Annual GAYVN Awards Show. Be at the Castro Theatre at 7 p.m. for a night of glitz and glamour with the gAy-List of the gay porn industry.
After the razzle-dazzle of the show, join us for Homecoming, the exclusive official after-party presented by NakedSword. Homecoming will begin at 10 p.m. immediately following the awards show. Come down and have some drinks with the crème de la crème of gay porn as we celebrate our industry and the people who drive it.
If you are (or want to be) part of the gay glitterati, contact info@gayvn.com for ticket info.
To sponsor any of the events, please contact Rick Loveland at sales@gayvn.com or rick.loveland@gayvn.com.
To be considered for a 2008 GAYVN Award, a production must have been released on or before December 31, 2008. Please email prenom@gayvn.com after January 1 to receive a username and password. The voting site will be open from January 5 through January 21. We will post a story to GAYVN.com with the address of the site as the launch date draws nearer.
You are free to suggest as much as you like in each category. Do note, however, that being shrewd about your suggestions will yield a more desirable end response than creating a laundry list of titles that may not all have been your/your company's best. The site and your password will be active until midnight, January 21. After that time, you will no longer be able to access your suggested pre-noms on the site or make additions to what you have entered.
Production companies are asked to provide two copies of every title they would like GAYVN to consider in our nominations process. These should be shipped to:
Harker Jones
