Adam & Eve has signed Sophia Lynn to an exclusive contract.

Lynn joins Carmen Luvana and recently signed Ava Rose on the company’s roster of talent. She has been in adult for one month.

“I can’t wait to shoot my first scenes as a contract girl,” she said. “I feel a bit star-struck — I have always loved Carmen’s layouts and movies… and to work with her has been a dream of mine. I know Ava and adore her. I already feel a part of the Adam & Eve family.”

Lynn, a native of Florida, holds an associates degree in arts and has an EMT Certification as well as a real estate license.

“I am currently working on my general contractor’s degree, but decided that I wanted to pursue the world of adult entertainment,” she said. “I absolutely love being in front of the camera. And being a bit of an over-achiever, I figured I was a perfect fit with Adam & Eve.”

Lynn is also a sports fan, naming football and hockey as her favorites.

Peter Reynolds, vice president of sales for Adam & Eve Pictures, remarked after meeting her, “Not only was I taken with Sophia’s natural and unassuming beauty, but I was amazed how well she knew the business. She’s educated, she’s articulate and she loves sex.”

Jenna Jameson will release her 2007 wall calendar in mid-August.

Wearing a metallic bra, with her blonde hair wild and her blue eyes wide, the starlet appears to have been startled by the photographer in the cover shot of the calendar, published by Aquarius Images, a leading creator of licensed calendars and posters.

“Pre-orders from retailers are up 50 percent over last year’s calendar so we are anticipating a very strong sell-through this year,” according to Linda Judy, vice president of licensing/business development of Aquarius.

The calendar will be available at selected retail outlets nationwide, including Spencer Gifts, FYE, Sam Goody, Tower Records, Borders Books & Music, Calendar Club and Newbury Comics plus other specialty retailers.

“It will also be on sale at better adult stores nationwide,” according to Kris Grdina, Club Jenna, Inc. vice president for merchandising.

Effective this Tuesday, Doghouse Digital/Mile High Media will be distributed by American Hardcore. American Hardcore owners Vic Thomas and T.J DiReda will be the sales and marketing team behind the new collaboration.

Doghouse Digital is Canada’s largest distributor of adult DVDs, and is the exclusive distributor for companies such as Vivid, VCA and Lethal Hardcore.

“We all share the same attitude and ideas in our approach to product and [Doghouse Digital] has the well crafted titles to prove it,” DiReda told.

Doghouse has 88 titles currently in release and has garnered several AVN nominations, including Best POV series for Chew on My Spew, Best Interracial for Black Bros White Hos, Best All Girl Series for Lesbos 101, and Best Foot Fetish Series for Eat My Feet.

“We are excited to have the opportunity to work with a company that not only has more than a decade of experience but also has a huge catalog of great titles waiting to be seen,” Thomas said.

Mach 2 Entertainment has signed veteran director David Luger to a directorial contract.

Luger will helm the company’s first interracial line, Black Guys in White Thighs, under the deal. He will also shoot one title per month. Other terms were not disclosed.

“I am ecstatic to have David Luger Join our team of first-class directors,” said Dani Duran, Mach 2 owner.

“David’s ability of capturing what fans of interracial titles want to see is right on the money. We are proud to have him as part of Mach 2.”

Luger is known for his work at Red Light District where he directed a number of titles including the recent I Just Fucked Your Mother, and Traffic Stopping Tits, as well as lines such as Teens Make You Cum the Most, Black Dicks in Asian Chicks and Swallow My Pride.

Luger left Red Light District in June after five years. Before joining Red Light, he directed for Elegant Angel and Extreme Associates.

Citing creative and professional differences, Kylie Ireland announced that she will no longer be directing for DVSX.

Ireland’s non-exclusive agreement with the company included the release of several titles, including Twisted as Fuck, a July 2006 AVN Editor’s Choice which Ireland considers one of her best movies.

“I’m really proud of Twisted as Fuck,” said Ireland. “I put my all into that movie and it really shows. A lot of people told me they thought it was the best thing DVSX had ever released.”

Ireland said there is no animosity between DVSX and herself, but that she and the company are headed in different directions.

“I’m all about quality, pushing the envelope, and making the best product I possibly can,” Ireland said. “I love the guys who run DVSX, but with sales down, I think they’re just focused on different priorities.”

Ireland’s last DVSX release will be nASSty dREAMs 2, an all-anal title slated for release later this year.

While Ireland will be exploring offers of additional gonzo work for other companies, her main focus at the moment is shooting two different lines for Bad Seed – an all-girl line and a big-dick line – and shooting for her own company, SlutWerkz, which will be launching in the fall.

Pleasure Productions has recently announced that the company will be adding Frank Liptak to its team. According to Pleasure, Liptak will be heading up management for its credit and collections department.

Liptak brings with him over 30 years of experience, working in accounting, credit, and factoring, including 20 years within the women’s apparel industry, working with companies such as Nine West. A Pleasure Productions representative said that the company is confident in Liptak’s ability to improve upon their team.

When asked how he felt about his new position, Liptak said, “I’m really looking forward to the new and exiting challenges that Pleasure has to offer.”

Frank Kay, president of Pleasure Productions, said, “Frank brings with him a broad spectrum of corporate functions, specializing in credit management. We’re thrilled to have him aboard.”

Doc Johnson has teamed up with Club Jenna, the namesake production company of Jenna Jameson that was recently acquired by Playboy, for a line of UR3 masturbatory sleeves made directly from molds of Club Jenna’s exclusive performers Jesse Capelli, McKenzie Lee, Ashton Moore and Sophia Rossi.

The sleeves in the Club Jenna UR3 Pocket Pussy collection are made with Doc Johnson’s patented UR3 (Ultra Realistic 3.0) material, scientifically formulated to feel and respond like human flesh. UR3 is compatible with water based or silicone lubricants. In addition, each of the sleeves offers its own style of exterior grip, further heightening the individuality of the sleeves in the Club Jenna collection. The inner core of the sleeve is ribbed for an especially tight grip.

“The Club Jenna Girls each have their own unique personality and fan base, and we felt that their signature Pocket Pussies should reflect that,” commented Chad Braverman, director of product development and licensing for Doc Johnson. “We’re not introducing a new sleeve packaged in four different ways; we’re introducing four unique sleeve styles.”

The bodies of the UR3 sleeves are a natural tone, accented with pink labia in order to make the Pocket Pussies appear as real as they feel.

Adam & Eve has signed newcomer Ava Rose to an exclusive contract, the company announced today.

Rose joins Carmen Luvana, Adam & Eve’s other contract star.

“I’m really happy that they wanted to take a chance on me so I’m pretty excited,” said the 20-year-old Alaska native.

“I’m pretty new to the industry, but one of my goals was to get a contract with a big company and Adam & Eve is perfect.”

Rose, who joined the industry in March with her 19-year-old sister Mia, has 16 titles in current release with more than a dozen others in various stages of postproduction.

Under the deal, Rose will perform in four movies on a trial basis, the company said, given the recent loss of contract stars Austyn Moore and Mari Possa who were contracted for a year. Rose will also serve as a company representative at various promotional activities and events. Other terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“We wanted to make sure Ava felt comfortable within the business and with a contract,” explained Meredith Christopher, producer for Adam & Eve Pictures.

“Together, we found a solution that worked.”

Ava Rose recently completed shooting her first title for the company, Lady Scarface, with Luvana.

“Being involved with such big-budget productions, and participating in shoots and layouts for the Adam & Eve catalogs is such great exposure. I think we are both going to get a lot from this contract,” Rose added.

Rose and her sister Mia had been dancing at strip clubs in Las Vegas when they began doing nude modeling for adult Internet sites in January. Rose and her sister soon performed their first boy-girl scenes for a site and then moved to Los Angeles where they began performing in adult videos.

“I’m really happy for her,” said Mia Rose of her sister.

“She’s a really good performer. She just loves to fuck on camera.”

Among Ava Rose’s titles are Moving Violations, from Smash Pictures; Barely Legal #60, Hustler Video; Craving Big Cocks #12, New Sensations; Frat House Fuckfest, Digital Sin; and VCA’s recent release, Inception.

Rose is represented by L.A. Direct Models.

Red Light District has signed veteran director/performer Mark Wood to an exclusive directing contract. Wood told that he entered into a one-year agreement Friday to direct exclusively for RLD, but he will still be able to perform for other companies.

“I’ve known Mark for over three years outside of the business,” Ralph Ceglia, executive vice president of sales and marketing for RLD. “I believe that he’s a fantastic talent, and look forward to having him perform for us, as well as seeing his directorial debut for Red Light District.”

Wood said that he’s extremely happy to land at RLD. “I’ve known the Red Light District guys for a long time, as I’ve worked with them as a performer and built up a pretty good repertoire with the company,” Wood said. “I’ve hinted in the past that I’d like to do some directing work for them, because the market is so saturated right now, and I’m always trying to keep all my irons in the fire with owning a company, directing and acting.

“After a final conversation with RLD, they offered me the contract. We’d talked about the possibility before, but you try not to get your hopes up in this business. I’m definitely happy with how it turned out.”

Wood will be directing two titles a month for RLD, with the possibility of more. Red Light District plans to release Wood’s directorial debut in October.

Wood’s production companies, Nxt Levl Productions and LeWood Productions (both distributed by Juicy Entertainment), which Wood runs with AVN Hall of Famer Francesca Le, will now be run primarily by Le. “Both companies will still release titles, but I won’t direct any of them,” Wood said. “In the case of LeWood, Francesca will take over directing duties.”

“We’re extremely happy to have Mark Wood on board,” said Larry Schwarz, director of public relations for Red Light District. “He has over eight years of experience, both as a director and a performer.”

Wood said he’d like to become one of RLD’s new guard of directors in what he sees as a new phase for the production company. “I hope they bring on some more directors and we make this company stronger than ever.”
