Los Angeles, CA - Channel 1 Releasing is pleased to announce that Vance Winter has just signed an exclusive contract with the company. The sexy, dark haired, 23 year old is the latest stud to be added to Chi Chi’s stable, among superstars Johnny Hazzard, Blake Riley, Josh Vaughn and Cameron Marshall.

Vance, originally from New England, got his start by applying to model for an amateur surfer-type website. The website was so taken with his seductive slender look, they instantly flew him to Los Angeles to shoot a scene. While in L.A., Vance fell in love with California and made arrangements to immediately move to the City of Angels with nothing more than two suitcases and a duffle bag.

Shortly after Vance’s arrival in Los Angeles, he paid a visit to the Channel 1 Releasing Studio to make an appearance on Chi Chi LaRue’s Live and Raw. Delighted with Winter’s looks and performance, Directors Chi Chi LaRue and Doug Jeffries quickly cast him in Chi Chi’s then upcoming film CAUGHT (Unzipped Video). While filming CAUGHT, Chi Chi had All Worlds’ Director Dan Cross stop by the set to introduce him to the new found star; Vance was cast in Cross’ next film NO FOLKS @ HOME right on the spot. Not long after filming, the upcoming star took a break from the industry and fell out of contact with the Studio Heads.

After a long hiatus, Winter contacted LaRue to see about making another appearance on the popular Live and Raw Show. Not wasting a single second, Chi Chi immediately cast him in his upcoming film MEASURE UP while Doug Jeffries concurrently cast him in his upcoming film HE FUCKED MY FATHER. Just after shooting wrapped for the two films, Winter was offered an exclusive contract with C1R, ensuring he would not slip away again.

“I’m ecstatic about working with Vance again,” said legendary director and C1R Partner Chi Chi LaRue. “He has such a tight sexy body, combined with his adorable face and the fact the boy loves to fuck, I knew right away he was my next exclusive.”

“I’m flattered and excited to be a C1R Exclusive,” said Winter. “I’ve loved working with Chi Chi, Doug and everyone else at Channel 1; and I’m really looking forward to a long future with all of them.”

Premiere UK adult entertainment website Men at Play is delighted to announce the signing of two stunning new models to add to its already bulging roster.

Marvin and Andreas have been together personally and professionally since 2004. Initially their coupling on screen was purely for pleasure but interest in their explosive real-life chemistry rapidly grew, making them one of the most unique and hottest properties in the industry.

Having worked with producers around the world, they have now joined Men at Play, following in the footsteps of other internationally successful models such as Franceso D’Macho. The signing is a departure from the norm for Marvin and Andreas, as they are often cast in regular porn roles with little need for clothes, but here they will be donning the trademark Men at Play sharp suits, something that they have been very much looking forward to.

The Men at Play team are sure their gorgeous Latin looks and amazing bodies will make them a firm favourite with loyal members and will likely attract some new viewers to the Men at Play fold.

“We have been working on this project for several months and are very excited to see it finally come to fruition. The results of our filming sessions with Marvin & Andreas has been amazing and we cannot wait to see how people will react. This collaboration really is something very special!”

Don’t miss their highly anticipated debut movie ‘Gentlemen’ on MenatPlay.com this Friday 6 June.

Los Angeles, CA - As the only condom company to market directly to the gay community, ONE® Condoms latest partnership with the leader in the condom mandatory gay adult entertainment production house, Channel 1 Releasing/C1R, is a perfect fit.

Pride Mix condoms feature a premium ultra-sensitive Sensatex condom inside a round foil bearing a sexy, funny, or hip image with a cheeky one-liner designed for a gay audience. For example, the image of a towel thrown around the waist of six pack abs with the slogan, “ONE® lucky towel.” Though the condoms certainly convey a spirit of fun, safety is always top-of-mind.

“We take safe sex very seriously at C1R and the health of our models is second to none. When we saw ONE® Condoms Pride Mix, we knew they would be the perfect partner for us,” said Chi Chi Larue, Partner with Channel 1 Releasing and Rascal Video. “ONE® has brought the fun back to condoms and made it sexy to not only use, but carry condoms. As soon as we saw the great designs, we dumped the condoms we had been using and immediately replaced them with ONE®. We plan on working with ONE® for a long time to come, no pun intended…”

Chi Chi LaRue, gay icon, award winning director and gay adult film producer, has always been a strong advocate for safety not only on the set, but everywhere. Recently, LaRue and C1R released a new safer sex Public Service Announcement and website, www.SafeSexIsHotSex.com; in direct response to the current multitude of barebacking movies being produced and sold worldwide. It addresses the difference between creating a fantasy world for consumers to enjoy and the reality of creating a safe environment for models to perform in. As well as the possible negative message films of this nature convey to the gay community - especially young men 15 to 24 years of age whose rate of HIV/AIDS infection is currently growing at an alarming pace. SafeSexIsHotSex.com also features an open letter from the legendary director along with his promise to NEVER shoot a bareback film.

C1R and ONE® Condoms will also be launching a unique line of condoms featuring Chi Chi LaRue and Rascal Exclusives in early 2009.

“For us at ONE® Condoms, delivering the message of safety into the gay community is so important at a time where bare-back is en vogue and transmission rates are on the rise,” stated Davin Wedel, President of Global Protection makers of ONE® Condoms. “By partnering with the best of the best in the gay adult industry, we have aligned ourselves with a true life-partner.”

New York, NY — Lucas Entertainment President and CEO Michael Lucas is featured as the cover subject of the January/February 2008 issue of Genre magazine, the oldest national consumer magazine for gay men.

“America loves Michael Lucas—I am just giving the people what they want,” said Genre Editor-in-Chief Neal Boulton. Boulton’s newly relaunched version of Genre—much like those of his many previous magazine relaunches like Men’s Fitness—focuses it on the essential or “core” interests of men: fitness, sex and relationships, entertainment, travel, gear, and fashion.

The Lucas cover story features an 12-page black-and-white fashion spread throughout the magazine by photographer Ray Lego, along with interview quotes from Lucas about his life philosophies.

“I am very proud that Genre chose me to be on their cover, as national consumer magazines—even if they are gay—tend to shy away from putting members of the adult community front and center,” said Lucas.

The issue hits U.S. newsstands on January 15th and will be available online at GenreMagazine.com. The magazine will also be on newsstands in England and Germany.
