The 2012 Grabby Awards are the Oscars of the gay adult entertainment industry and now, for the first time in the fifteen-year history of the show, an Internet-based porn star is up for the honor of co-hosting the night’s festivities. AUSTIN ANDREWS of AustinZane.com fame is at the top of the nominee roster to take to the stage with the likes of CHI CHI LARUE and HONEY WEST during the ceremony held over Memorial Day Weekend at Park West Theater in Chicago, Illinois.

Indicative of a real change in the market, AUSTIN has never had the exposure of being in a movie for a major DVD studio. What’s crazy is… he didn’t need to! The audience of the Internet is truly unlimited and Austin’s fan base is obviously as large and devoted as that of those considered to be the biggest gay porn superstars of today. He’s the new breed of gay porn superstar.

AUSTIN himself is nervous and excited by the possibility of winning. “I love CHI CHI LARUE,” tells us. “I would do it just to be able to hang out with her for two hours on stage. But if it weren’t for her being there, I’d be so scared. I hope I don’t pee myself. – Or wait, would that get me even more votes if I do? Because I will if I need to!”

Last year, AUSTIN ANDREWS and ZANE MICHAELS utilized The Grabby Awards as a platform to launch their site, making this year’s ceremony also a special anniversary. Unlike other gay porn sites, AUSTIN and ZANE maintain and operate AustinZane.com entirely on their own giving it an incredibly personal feel. From video editing to design, the site is a two-man operation.

To promote the co-hosting nom, the boys will appear in person at Micky’s “Cocktails with the Stars” in West Hollywood next Wednesday, February 15^th at 7:00 pm, for live on-stage interviews and nearly naked shenanigans with host SCOTTY BEE.

You may have been wondering who that tall and lanky HUGE-dicked man is in the latest Hot House scene tearing up gorgeous muscle stud Marc Dylan’s hole.

…Well, we can now reveal it’s none other than our own DV8 Casting model, Tommy DeLuca.

With one of the most well endowed pieces of meat in the industry it’s no wonder they wanted to make him front and center for the masterpiece that is their new feature, “Sektor 9.” For fans of kink, this one is a must!

By the way, Tommy said this was one of the most fun scenes he’s shot in his entire career! He loved it!

The latest recruit to Active Duty’s roster, the incredibly hot tattooed bad boy Axl is banged by fellow military studs Boyd and Chaz in his first ever time bottoming, much less on camera! We’re thinking either Axl practiced a bit beforehand with toys or he really enjoys the pain (which is very possible considering all those tats!) because he really takes it like a champ and even seems to be enjoying it once he gets into the groove!

Yesterday, we celebrated Superbowl Sunday on our Twitter account by posting our fave football themed pics of all time.

We’ve posted over TWO DOZEN pics total! Here’s a quick sample of them here but if you want the full monty, check it out in the timeline!

As everyone’s excited about this weekend’s Super Bowl half-time show and Madonna’s new video premiere this morning, I couldn’t help but think back on this interview from 1990 — and I can’t believe I actually found it!

I remember seeing this live when I was 10 years old, sitting on the floor in the living room eating dinner and gagging on brussell sprouts. This edition of “Primetime,” wherein she discusses her “Justify My Love” video being banned from MTV, aired following CNN’s “Crossfire” where there was a roundtable discussion about the video prompting one new anchor to later ask of the hosts to please “justify” that episode!

Before England. Before the “Sex” book. I imagine her watching this, banning “okay” and “you know” from her vocab and deciding if she’s going to get serious she’d better start choosing her words really carefully.

In an age of “It Gets Better” videos trying to prevent gay teen suicides, there’s a reason Madonna was a stronger role model for young gays like me than Lady Gaga ever can be: Madonna was hated.

After this interview, it got progressively worse and by 1993 she was a veritable punching bag. There was actually a magazine published for a brief time in grocery stores called “I Hate Madonna.”

I remember thinking, “If she can know the entire world hates her for who she is and keep going …so can I.”

The cast of Chi Chi LaRue’s latest, “Chokin’ On Cock” has been announced and pre-order for the DVD is now available! The cum-filled orgy sex fest will feature an array of C1R faves and some naughty newbies: Tito, Devin Adams, Alex Andrews, Alex Greene, Connor Maguire, Joe Parker, Marxel Rios, Jay Rizzing, Dylan Roberts and Randy Star lead the pack of rough trade workin’ out for Cheech!

Be the first to get the movie on DVD at the special pre-order rate!

MD Science Lab/Swiss Navy Lube is proud to announce it will sponsor the biggest gay adult entertainment awards show this year, The 2012 Grabby Awards, held in Chicago, Illinois over Memorial Day Weekend. Swiss Navy will take over the annual “Lube Basket Award,” a humongous bundle of dozens of different sex creams and lubricants, infamously given to the biggest porn slut of the weekend!

In addition to the ceremony itself, the most beloved lube on the market will also be sponsoring all of the official Grabby pre-parties during the days leading up to the event, with giveaways for patrons looking to get their “porn” on throughout the sexy holiday weekend.

“Swiss Navy is the most popular brand used in pornography today,” says MARK NAGEL, co-director of The Grabby Awards and editor of GRAB Magazine. “You see all of the porn stars promoting it on Twitter, you see it in the background of every porn movie. It just seems like a ‘no brainer’ that we would have Swiss Navy helm our acclaimed Lube Basket.”

GRAB Magazine recently announced the co-hosts for this year’s 2012 Grabby Awards will be none other than superstars TOM WOLFE and ADAM KILLIAN. They’ll join CHI CHI LARUE and HONEY WEST on stage who have hosted the show together for over a decade now, always playing it up with live comedy skits, video montages and musical numbers that help to make the event the most extravagant showstopping gay porn awards of the year.

You can keep up with all the Grabby’s news including which porn stars will be in attendance and where the parties will be held this year via the Twitter accounts of both The Grabbys and Swiss Navy at: Twitter.com/Grabbys …and… Twitter.com/SwissNavyLube
