Zero Tolerance Entertainment announced today that it has signed a new contract star, Sara Sloane, who previously performed under the name Sarah Vandella and has been described as “one of the adult industry’s most sexually dynamic performers.”

“We couldn’t be happier,” said Zero Tolerance president Greg Alves. “Not only is Sara beautiful, but she’s one of the most intense performers our industry has seen in years. She really personifies what we’re all about: beautiful, fan friendly and horny as hell. She’s the perfect representative.”

For Sloane, the signing is a major step in her career ambitions. “From the time that I made the decision to be an adult actress, my goal was to perform my heart out, become a contract star and be one of the most popular performers of all time. The fact that Zero Tolerance, who I’ve always felt was the finest company in the business, signed me to a contract is a dream come true. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings,” she said.

Zero Tolerance is currently in pre-production on a new Sloane vehicle, which it promises will showcase the starlet’s sexual prowess. For those who can’t wait to see Sloane’s “no holds barred” persona, she can be seen in Third Degree Films’ Big Boob Orgy 2, which streets Nov. 10, and Zero Tolerance’s Girlvana 5, streeting Nov. 24.

Genesis magazine on Tuesday announced plans to release the 11th annual edition of its “Porn’s Hot 100” issue. The January 2010 issue has a free, inserted mini-mag that ranks the 100 hottest stars in the adult industry.

Genesis anointed Sasha Grey the No. 1 porn star in this year’s rankings, thanks to her breakthrough year in both mainstream and adult.

“Ever since Sasha entered adult she has made a name for herself in the industry with her amazing scenes, all-natural beauty and forward-thinking vision,” said Dan Davis, editor-in-chief of Genesis. “This last year saw Sasha not only increase her popularity in adult to uncharted heights, but become a household name thanks to her various accomplishments, and that is everything the top star of the year should do.”

Grey in January 2008 won AVN’s coveted Female Performer of the Year honor before going on to star in various adult hits such as Vivid’s Throat: A Cautionary Tale, Digital Playground’s Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge and Nurses, This Ain’t Star Trek XXX (Hustler), Sun Goddess: Mailbu (skinworXXX) and The Five (Adam & Eve). This year she also started her own production company, Grey Art, and made various appearances in all areas of adult media, including a starring role on the Showtime reality series, “Deeper Throat.”

But it was Grey’s star turn in Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience that made the biggest splash. After being hand-picked by Soderbergh, she received rave reviews for her role as a call girl. With the role came several mainstream media opportunties, including an appearance on “Last Call with Carson Daly” and a feature story in Rolling Stone.

“I am genuinely shocked and extremely flattered that I garnered the number one spot this year!” Grey said. “Sincerest thanks go out to all of my fans and Genesis magazine for this honor. I’ve had a lot of fun and success in diversifying my ventures this year, and hopefully 2010 will bring more of the same!”

The January issue of Genesis also includes an exclusive centerfold layout of Grey shot by photographer and filmmaker, Ian Cinnamon. With a penchant for the avant garde, Cinammon is now sole documentarian for the experiences and exploits of his fiancé, Grey. He is also co-creative director (along with Grey) for her production company. His work has appeared in numerous publications including: Contra, Rolling Stone, Metro, Time Out Chicago, SF Gate, SNR and Montreal Mirror. His work will also appear alongside Grey’s in her upcoming sexual philosophy book, due out in the early part of 2010.

The top 10 (in order) “Porn’s Hot 100” also features Jenna Haze, Digital Playground star Jesse Jane, Tera Patrick, Wicked’s Stormy Daniels, Adam & Eve’s Bree Olson; Briana Banks, Belladonna, Joanna Angel and Gianna Michaels.

The main issue of Genesis also features an on-the-set report from the making of Adam & Eve’s newest epic Rawhide II, as well as pictorials with Kayden Kross, Sarah Vandella, Mia Presley, Karlie Montana, Sophie Dee, Mya Luanna, Rebeca Linares and more.

We are thrilled to be distributing her line and adding her to the New Sensations/Digital Sin family.”

I have always wanted to produce my own movies and was waiting for the right opportunity to arise. I am so excited I have found that with them!”

The first release, scheduled for later this year, will be from reality-based line Riedality. “This was so much fun to create because for the first time I was able to give my fans an idea of who I really am,” said Ried. “I do all kinds of daredevil activities with my sexy friends and just have a great time. Every scene in it is fun filled and completely real. Since my friends and I do all the crazy things before we get dirty, my adrenaline is going crazy, which makes it so much more intense.”

Vivid Entertainment Group has unveiled their contract girl Nikki Jayne’s latest sexual escapades which this time were captured by director B. Skow for the new movie Cum for Me.

The DVD, set for release on Oct. 20, features the British superslut in various hardcore vignettes, one of which entails her getting d.p.’ed. Jayne headlines a strong lineup of blondes that also includes Riley Evans, Angelina Ashe and Brynn Tyler.

The theme of Cum for Me involves each girl concentrating on one part of her body to get viewers off in a tease style – ass, mouth, feet, tits and pussy are all employed.

Jayne was traveling in her native country at press time, but a Vivid spokeperson indicated she would be back stateside in time to host a Vivid Halloween party.

Digital Playground on Wednesday announced it has signed McKenzie Lee to an exclusive performance contract.

The native of Leicester, England who now resides in California recently returned to the industry after a three-year hiatus. She won the AVN award for Best New Starlet in January 2006 when she was an exclusive with Club Jenna.

Digital Playground founder Joone said his company coveted her services for some time. “We’ve had our eye on McKenzie ever since she shot Jack’s Playground 28 and Jack’s Teen America 9 in her fantastic year leading to the Best New Starlet award. Her radical performances add a new dimension to our roster of contract stars.”

“In my movies, I always look to push the envelope and fulfill all of my sexual fantasies,” Lee said. “Signing with Digital Playground has been one of those fantasies. I’ve always thought of myself as a gonzo girl, and they truly understand that gonzo can still look visually beautiful. They shoot crazy, hard sex that is higher quality than anything else.”

Lee grew up loving the outdoors and competing in dressage with her pony. She got her first taste of adult entertainment when she began dancing at gentlemen’s clubs in Birmingham, England. Her popularity grew and soon she was performing in London’s top clubs for six years.

Club Jenna has announced the release of a new title starring Jenna Jameson & Nikita Denise in Jenna Loves Nikita.

Pulse Distribution VP of Sales Howard Levine remarked, “There has been an incredibly strong demand for new material from Jenna and this movie will definitely prove worth waiting for, especially because of her super hot scene with Nikita,”.

‘Jenna Loves Nikita’ will be available on Tuesday in retail stores and online retailers nationwide.

Haze, AVN Performer of the Year 2009, has partnered with the No. 1 selling sex toy for men, bringing two new custom-molded experiences to the popular Fleshlight Girls product line: Jenna Haze Lotus, a best-selling texture designed to mimic the sensations of vaginal intercourse, and Jenna Haze Forbidden, featuring an exclusive new texture offering realistic anal intercourse simulation.

Both new Fleshlight products are molded from Haze’s own body. The Lotus texture provides the realistic and wildly popular vaginal intercourse sensation preferred by Fleshlight customers worldwide. Forbidden, Haze’s new signature texture, allows her fans an unprecedented intimacy with the “Dirtiest Girl In Porn” (2009 F.A.M.E. Awards).

The new additions further solidify Fleshlight’s recent strategic move toward expanding their line with top mainstream adult stars.

Steve Shubin, Fleshlight creator and CEO of Interactive Life Forms, commented, “We’re thrilled to add two new Jenna Haze products to our line of custom-molded celebrities. Jenna is one of the hottest and hardest-working talents in the business. Not only is she the reigning Performer of the Year, she is also the number-one request from our ongoing FleshlightGirls.com customer poll. Our customers are always right. But in this case, they’re twice as right.”

Each new Jenna Haze Fleshlight will retail for $79.95 on Fleshlight.com and FleshlightGirls.com. Both products include a discreet pearlescent case, autographed postcard and a free 2-ounce bottle of Gun Oil H2O water-based personal lubricant. Jenna Haze Lotus and Forbidden textures will become available without a case shortly after release.

In an effort to prevent rumors and speculation, Teravision has released the following statement about Tera Patrick and Evan Seinfeld:

After seven years together the couple has officially separated. Tera and Evan remain the best of friends and business partners. They share a mutual respect and a commitment to continue to grow the Teravision and Iron Cross labels together.

“Tera is a huge star and a benefit to both adult and mainstream entertainment. I feel fortunate to have shared so much of her life and career,” Seinfeld said. “Teravision and Iron Cross are going strong and I look forward to continuing to represent the Tera Patrick brand and support all of her endeavors. She is forever in my heart.”

Patrick echoed Seinfeld’s sentiments. “Evan helped me build this company and take my career to new heights. For that I am eternally grateful,” she said. “I look forward to remaining hands-on with Teravision and working closely with Evan on all of our joint endeavors. He is truly an amazing person.”

Rising MILF star Deauxma has been announced as the latest performer added to Vicky Vette’s ever-expanding network of porn star sites, dubbed the Vette Nation Army.

Best known for her work in Girlfriends Films’ Road Queen series, Deauxma joins Sunny Lane, Britney Brooks, Michelle Lay, Sasha Sparks, Rebecca Jessop, Shanda Fay and designer/namesake Vicky Vette in the Vette Nation Army lineup.

“I met Vicky for the first time in April for a shoot. We hit it off really well,” Deauxma said. “She has been kicking ass on the net with a community and we talked about new and exciting things I could try for fans and members. I love interacting with fans … even performing with them. To be able to interact with members how Vicky set it up is so easy and fun. I can’t wait to get started!”

Each site in the Vette Nation Army network is available to members of any of the others, and all offer access to two different cam netorks, streaming videos and a community board with nearly 50,000 posts. Members can also participate in cam2cams with the stars or each other.

Vette commented that Deauxma “is a natural fit for us. Anyone who loves MILFs can’t help but love a big-breasted Texan! She is immensely popular whenever she does a movie, and I have no doubt that her website will kick ass.”

Vette attributes the continued flourishing of her network to its community atmosphere.

“It is refreshing to see so many porn stars and fans join together in a genuine community,” she said. “The fans and stars interact and become friends. Last night one of our members got oral sex from his wife while Sunny Lane and other website members watched and got off on cam. How cool is that?! We are determined to be a genuine independent alternative to the Walmart approach to adult being offered recently. The stars are intricately involved in running their own sites. They are there for the fans … not just a quick paycheck. In these times of economic hardship I am thrilled that we are still expanding while other sites are closing. We have been here for five years and are here to stay. If you want community, join us.”

Vette and Deauxma plan to appear together at the upcoming Adultcon Los Angeles Oct. 2-4, both donning camos in promotion of the new site.

Said Vette, “It is my first appearance at Adultcon in years, so we are planning on a bit of a splash.”

Adam & Eve has announced the signing of up and coming starlet Alexis Ford to an exclusive contract.

With only a handful of girl/girl performances to her name, Ford caught the eye of Adam & Eve Pictures executive producer Meredith Christopher nearly a year ago. She joins current contract girls Kayden Kross and Bree Olson in the Adam & Eve stable.

“We immediately saw contract star potential in Alexis,” said Christopher. “And when we met her in person, we knew she would fit in perfectly with both Bree and Kayden … and the Adam & Eve family.”

Ford, who will perform boy/girl for the first time with Adam & Eve, agreed, “I am so excited to sign with Adam & Eve! I only want to work with the best, and Adam & Eve definitely sets the standard in the industry.”

Based out of New York, Ford is somewhat of an anomaly for a porn star. Perfectly happy with her dancing and magazine work, she ventured into girl/girl scenes about six months ago, then decided she would only do more under the right conditions. She had numerous companies pursuing her, but she and Adam & Eve hit it off immediately.

“I’m shooting my first boy/girl scene with Adam & Eve the first week of October … and I can’t wait!” she said.

Ford’s debut title for Adam & Eve, American Made: Alexis Ford, is set for release in January 2010.
