Brent Everett performs in MOSCOW, RUSSIA

About the Video:

I love traveling and seeing new places and this past year we've been all over the map. I had never been as far as Russia but when the opportunity presented itself, Steve & I jumped at it. People have their misconceptions of Russia and still associate it with "The Cold War" etc. Everyone we knew was worried and nervous about us going. All I can say is everyone was WRONG! Moscow is an amazing city with friendly people, beautiful churches, great museums and amazing architecture.

Democracy is only 10 years old in Russia, but wow have they come far. This city is not poor like many people believe. Moscow is growing faster than it ever has. It is true that it's safer for gay guys not to hold hands out in public, but oh well, they still have many different gay clubs, bars etc.

We stayed with 2 very good friends of ours named Igor & Borris. These boys sure knew how to make us feel at home and how to throw a party. I danced at this Club called VII (Seven) which was very trendy. Everyone was very nice and I was treated with the up most respect. The video speaks for itself. Check it out and let me know what you think. I don't know how long it will stay on youtube, but there is also a video on gay2share.com

Moscow was Amazing and we plan on going back in the future.

Have a great and safe holiday from all of us here at MMN

JONATHAN "JT" TAYLOR FROM SAN FRANCISCO, NAMED U.S. MR. GAY
MOVES ON TO INTERNATIONAL MR. GAY 2008 FINALS IN LOS ANGELES JAN 17-21,
AT HOLLYWOOD’S MUSIC BOX THEATER


HOLLYWOOD, CA– (Oct. 27, 2007) Jonathan "JT" Taylor from San Francisco, California was named U.S. Mr. Gay 2008, beating out nineteen other contestants from around the nation. The 3rd Annual U.S. Mr. Gay Competition National Finale and Awards Gala was held at the Music Box Theater in Hollywood. Taylor, 27, will now move on to represent the United States at the International Mr. Gay Competition Grand Finale, which will be held at the same location in January.

Taylor wowed the judges and the crowd with his stage presence, charm, intelligence and eye catching physique. The U.S.A. finals included a three-day series of indoor/outdoor physical competitions, public appearances, photo shoots and judge’s interviews.

“It was a very close contest between an extraordinary group of men and all the contestants were excellent,” said Don Spradlin, founder of the Mr. Gay Competition. “JT is an exemplary person and we’re thrilled to have him represent the U.S. in January at the world’s eyes are focused on Hollywood for the International Mr. Gay Competition.”

The first runner up spot was awarded to Mr. Green Bay, Josh Roberts, and the second runner up spot went to Derek B. Moates of Birmingham, AL. The award for Mr. Congeniality was given to Shar DeVon of Chicago, an honor voted on by the contestants themselves.

With the tagline “because gay is not a stereotype,” the U.S. Mr. Gay Competition searches beyond looks to identify one man with the individualism and charisma to serve as a successful role model in challenging gay stereotypes. The winner serves as an Ambassador for the Noble Beast Foundation’s mission, which is to confront homophobia and challenge the gay stereotype through appearances and events such as the Competition.

The other Award winners during the evening’s Gala included Birmingham’s Derek B. Moates, who won several Awards including Swimwear, Mr. Photogenic and 2nd Runner Up for US Mr. Gay.
Chicago’s Shar DeVon won Mr. Congeniality (voted on by other contestants). By having 28,000 votes cast, San Diego’s Steve Pena won the Mr. Popularity (on-line voting) Award. All of the Award winners received a beautiful wallet valued at over $400 from designer Charles Lapson. The cash prizes donated by Eric Butter of Australia included a $5000 Award to the new US Mr. Gay, JT Taylor, and a $2000 Award to Swimwear winner Derek Moates.
All of the contestants received a gift package of care products from Sircuit Cosmeseuticals, a swimsuit from Andrew Christian and a leather luggage tag with a value of $90 from designer Charles Lapson.
The Honorees at the Awards Gala included California Assemblyman, Mark Leno, who received the HERO Award from Palm Springs Mayor Ron Oden. Both Mark Leno and Mayor Ron Oden were judges during the very first Mr. Gay Competition in Palm Springs in 2005.
One of the highlights of the evening was a dance number choreographed by RED Savage that featured MC Alec Mapa as the “Dancing Queen” with backup featuring the 20 US Finalists in 1970’s garb. The colorful number was one of only several highlights in the evening’s entertaining stage show directed by Associate Producer John Michael Beck.
The US Mr. Gay Competition was produced by the Noble Beast Foundation as a benefit for Lifeworks Mentoring and the Finalists goal of raising $5000 for the beneficiary was surpassed with a current donation announced at the Awards Gala of $12,000 and donations are still coming in from the 20 US City Finalist’s efforts. The other HERO Award was for the service provided by Lifeworks Mentoring and their dedicated team of volunteers. Accepting the Noble Beast Foundation’s HERO Award for community service was Board members Chip Sullivan and Walter Hubert along with Executive Director Michael Ferrera.

The Crucible: Day 3 by Justusboys.com

Sunday was the last day of events in San Diego for the Crucible circuit party. Casting a haze over the final day (literally) was a cloud of smoke. That day no fewer than ELEVEN wildfires (most of which were in San Diego County) were started in Southern California, turning the sky a murky brown. The first event was called the Hazing Party and was at a rooftop restaurant (the Top Of The Park) atop the Park Manor Hotel. DJ Taj spun while guests danced and drank and enjoyed a 360 degree view of the city of San Diego. The Brents took the day off, but both of their boyfriends (Grant Roy and Steve Pena, pictured above) appeared, as did local drag queen Paris Hyatt. At 6 PM that party ended, and all of the guests who had purchased VIP tickets were treated to a closing cocktail party at a private penthouse apartment, this one with a view of the San Diego International Airport and the Pacific Ocean. At 9 PM it was all over, and it appears to have been a huge success. San Diego is not normally known as a circuit town, but hopefully this event will change that. However, there are quite a few porn stars that live in San Diego, and I was a little bit surprised that I didn't see more there. For example, Tyler Riggz, Ashton Ryan, and Parker Williams all live there and didn't attend any of the events (maybe they were all out of town filming somewhere). I hope that next year they do this again! You can bet that if they do, JUB will be there to give you all the lowdown!

My Weekend In San Diego by Jason Curious.com

My Weekend In San Diego
I took to San Diego last weekend to host the pre-party for a three-day event called The Crucible. I'm not sure if we were fighting for Don't Ask, Don't Tell or fighting against it. (I think I'm for it. ;-) ) But regardless, it was a weekend of military men and gay porn stars so hell, it seemed right up my alley. Naturally, when I was contacted by Brent Everett's main man, Steve Pena and his business partner, Nicholas Di Simas to come out and be a part of it, I jumped at the opportunity. I had never met Brent Everett and he has been the #1 most downloaded porn star on my site for the past two years in a row.

I was put up at a kick ass hotel called Park Manor Suites. (There was a piano bar attached to the building. Naturally, I loved it!) I was given a room the size of a freaking apartment, full kitchen and dining area, with a box of chocolates from Steve and Nicholas waiting on the table for me to boot! Clearly, these two knew their shit from the get go, enough to know that the way to a stellar performance is to treat your talent like royalty. I felt very "taken care of" by Steve and Nicholas throughout the weekend, moreso than any event or people I've worked with this year so far. They get the prize for best caretakers! (Now if I had done an event with Brandon Baker this year, it would've probably been him, so don't take offense Brandon. You just need to book my ass more often! LOL)

At dinner, I met a gaggle of people whose names I can't recall (I'm really bad with that!) except for our "security" for the evening, a hot ass marine named Josh who was tall and muscular and straight. I proceeded to tease the fuck out of him the entire weekend and promised him next time I would come back with some hot porn pussy for him. The girls would seriously cream over him. He's the one in the pic with the drag queen who looks a lil like Star Jones in the photo gallery from this weekend over on the "News Desk." Yeh, he was pretty kick ass and took the teasing well. ...But no, not that well.

That dinner is also where I met Brent Everett for the first time. I have to tell you, between he and Steve, I have rarely met such humble and grateful people in the porn business. Everett couldn't stop thanking me for all the press I'd given him over the years, sending traffic to his sites, giving him great reviews, etc. It was clear he'd studied up and read nearly everything I'd ever written about him. It was beyond flattering and might've even gotten me a little hard. I told him he had to stop thanking me and that with him being the most downloaded porn star on my site for two years in a row, I felt like I owed HIM a tremendous load of thanks. Maybe even some money, right?!

We went from my pre-party at Bourbon Street to Brent and Steve's pad (they have a freaking gorgeous house!) to Rich's for the evening's main event, all by limo where we proceeded to get completely shit faced off of everything from peach champagne to vodka and Squirt cocktails. I also got to know Brent a little better there. He confessed that he was terrified of meeting me in person, thinking I was going to get in his face and grill him with questions the second I saw him and for the duration of the weekend. I laughed and hugged him and told him that these are only things I would do in an interview, not over dinner or hanging out behind the scenes. As soon as his mind was set at ease, we ended up bonding and sharing quite a bit with each other. He is so much fun to be around and is actually quite shy and reserved behind the scenes. And fortunately, found everything that came out of my mouth to be utterly hilarious. Which, any comedian will tell you, immediately made him my new best friend.

It will never cease to amaze me how many people actually know of me the second I go outside of Los Angeles County. I had a few people come up to me at the club and tell me how much they love the site and a few who even cited my most recent "Diary" entry and how it affected them. This seems to happen everywhere except the city I live in where, since people see mainstream celebrities on a regular basis and gay porn stars at the gym every day, they could give two shits about spotting Jason Sechrest on a dance floor. If I lived in Kansas, I'd be a fucking rich man!

Angel Benton arrived later in the evening with our mutual friend, Cameron, who I had not seen in years. It was so good hanging out with him for the weekend and his presence, friendship and warmth really enhanced the experience for me. He is such a sweet guy! ...When he wants to be. ;-)

I managed to snag both Angel and Cameron all access VIP passes to everything for the weekend so he could cover it for Just Us Boys.

I opted not to go to the after hours party with them though. I headed back to my hotel and conked out pretty quickly after such a long day's driving and drinking. (Um... definitely not at the same time.)

The next day, I went to lunch with Angel and Cameron at a vegan cafe where Jayden Holloway works, whom we'd run into the night before at Rich's. Now anyone who knows me is well aware that health food is not my forte, but Angel had apparently promised Jayden that's where we'd be having lunch. I was considering stopping off for a Big Mac beforehand, but Angel had the bright idea to stop off at Rite-Aid and get us some vodka to pour into the cafe's fruit drinks.

Awesome idea!

He thought it would make Cameron and me easier to handle. ...He was wrong.

Cameron and I got plastered off of the strawberry-orange-ginger-Vodka drinks pretty quickly and became a little loud and obnoxious. We ordered a pizza that looked like beef jerky on a bed of lettuce and a pot roast that looked like a pizza. I hate vegan food, but I love Jayden Holloway.

I bolted to a nearby greek cafe for some saganaki and spanakopita immediately after exiting the joint.

The three of us then decided to stop by the house party that was going on, but arrived just as things were wrapping up. Fortunately, we were in time to run into Brent Corrigan and Grant Roy as they were leaving with one of their friends. It took me a few minutes before I realized the friend was Cameron Lane! We had spoken so many times online and it was so great to get to meet him in person. So adorable and well mannered!

Cameron and I finished what was left of the vodka at the house and played their grand piano. Who needs a crowd for a party anyway?

We ran back to our respective hotels where I slept and sobered up before hitting the night's main event at Club Montage where Brent Everett was performing. The venue and the party itself was amazing, but I couldn't stay up all night or drink there as I had to be back in West Hollywood the next day for my gig singing at Eleven Lounge. The smoke in there wasn't going to be doing my voice any good either.

I love to party! But I also know when to stop. I quietly slipped out.

I can't wait to hang out with Brent and Steve more though. They are cool peeps and I can't wait to get to know them better when they come to L.A. for some of my events in November.

And the OhLaLa winner of Mr Gay USA is ... *drumbs* .... Mr Salt lake City !!!!!!! The smile, the body, the tattoos ... we could not resist. Mr Salt Lake City aka Chris Vanover, is a 29 years old scorpio (hot!) student at the University of Utah who speaks elementary French (That will do ;-) He is 6'2 (188cm) 186 lbs (86kgs) of muscles and "shoe" size 11" :-P He loves football, snowboarding, surfing, yoga, painting, art history (he would so love Paris).

Brent Everett LIVE @ The Crucible 2007

The "Not" So Foam Party.

The "Not" So Foam Party.

To Everyone that came to the Prison Break Party last night...

We apologize for what occurred last night. The foam machine was not set up in time for a "Foam Party" guys. A month ago we realized that due to a conflict in contractual dates with another promoter, (Club Papi) we could not honor the "Foam" event. Club Papi already had the night till 4 a.m. Luckily, We were able to get Club Papi to give the club to us by 2:30 a.m, but there was no way the venue could be set and fixed in time for a foam party. The soonest the club could be ready for a "foam" party was by 4:00 a.m. So, with that in mind we realized that it was just best to just not do the foam party. It didn't make sense to make people wait outside for 2 hours.

So over a 6 weeks ago, we had all promotional material changed to state just: "Prison Break Party". It no longer mention "foam".

All we can say is that if you were with us at RICH's for the "Brig" event, you know that we were not kidding when we said this thing would be amazing. The music was awesome, Amuka was off the hook and FLAVA was phenomenal!!!! The place was packed and the boys looked sexy as ever. Brent Corrigan was super hot in his black undies and everyone in there was hot as hell!

So please, don't let one hiccup define the night. We still have 4 more events. We hope you join us for them.

If you still have some questions, comments or concerns, please make them here:

Sincerely,
Steve Pena & Nick de Simas

Brent Everett Headlines with Crystal Waters Sat June 9th @ RAW (LA PRIDE 2007)

Brent Everett is a Canadian gay pornographic model. He has appeared in pornographic films for a variety of studios in the United States.

Everett is one of the most sought-after young male porn stars of the early 2000s. Since his first performances in early 2003, Everett has been in over fourteen productions for a wide range of studios.

In his early work Brent was classified by studios as a twink; however, more recently he has become too muscular to comfortably fit within this term.

Everett has not signed as an "exclusive" for any of the major porn studios, as a lot of other actors have. This has allowed him to switch from one major porn company to the next. He appeared as the centerfold model in Freshmen magazine's September 2003 issue also winning the title "Freshmen Of The Year", and has had a lot of appearances as a model in Playguy magazine.

To further extend his career in porn, Everett opened his own subscription website in late 2004, (www.BrentEverett.com) offering video streams, image downloads, live web cam shows, and an online shop. Live web cam shows are available for playback at a later date, and in many of these, Brent uses his spit to lubricate himself. In addition, he set up his own distribution company under the name of Triple X Studios for which he stars in and directs movies.

In August 2006, Channel 1 Releasing announced that Everett will appear in three new movies for Chi Chi LaRue: Sized Up, Starting Young, and Bottom of the 9th: Little Big League 3

In 2007 his starring role in the DVD "Sized Up" was nominated at the GayVN Awards.

Also look out this year for changes to his personal website www.BrentEverett.com. It will be re-launched with major additions and features. Video of Brent Everett @ Military Madness Night BELOW.

Super Sexy DJ Joe Gauthreaux commands the floor for "RAW" @ LA Pride

Every time he steps into the DJ booth, Gauthreaux forges a path through a diverse musical landscape, guiding throngs of party-goers through peaks and valleys of soulful funk, progressive rhythms, tribal drums, disco house, and melodic, driving trance. Gauthreaux has made the trip countless times, though he never takes the same road twice; each outing behind the turntables represents an excursion into uncharted territory, and those of us on his dance floor trust Gauthreaux's keen instincts.

It's a consistency the disc jockey attributes to thorough preparation. Gauthreaux regularly spends dozens of hours every week meticulously scouring (online) record shop shelves for the latest cutting-edge tracks and poring through (virtual) record bins for rare, overlooked classics. His tastes reach far and wide, making him one of the most versatile DJs on the scene today.

But the journey of Joe Gauthreaux goes far beyond his stewardship in the booth; for Gauthreaux, life is a journey, and, much like his DJ sets, it is intriguing, emotional, and unpredictable.

Gauthreaux debuted on the decks in 1996, quickly earning the respect of his peers after garnering resident status at New Orleans hot spot Oz. His all-encompassing sets soon caught the attention of out-of-towners, and it was only a matter of time before Gauthreaux was being imported by clubs across the U.S., in addition to international venues throughout Canada and beyond. The incomparable versatility of his sound immediately endeared him to the circuit culture where he remains a top draw, spinning high profile events such as Black & Blue in Montreal, Cherry in D.C. and Toronto Gay Pride, just to name a few. In 2002, his skyrocketing prominence in the scene prompted Centaur Records to offer Gauthreaux his first CD compilation, Party Groove: Blue Ball, and his high profile led to his ongoing tenure as a reporter for Billboard Magazine.

In 2003, Gauthreaux found himself at a crossroads: He had reached his full potential in New Orleans, and New Yorks thriving DJ culture seemed ripe with opportunity. But nothing is guaranteed in the Big Apple, and relocating would mean sacrificing all he had worked for in the Big Easy. Nonetheless, Gauthreaux selected the road less traveledand it proved a wise choice. Within a few years, he was playing at esteemed locales such as Lotus, Spirit, Roxy, Avalon, Pacha, and Fire Islands iconic Pavilion. Of course, his journeys abroad continue thanks to his regular appearances in Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Atlanta, as well as Parade in his native New Orleans and SBNY in his present home of New York City.

And so Gauthreaux continues onward, traveling the world and delving into new, unexplored musical terrain. Its anybodys guess where his journey will lead, but if Joe Gauthreaux's life is anything like his DJ sets, its sure to be one hell of a trip. Video of Joe Below:

Crystal Waters Headlines "RAW" @ LA PRIDE Saturday JUNE 9th

"Gypsy Woman" became a worldwide hit, memorable for it's la da dee la dee da refrainBillboard Hot 100, found even more success in Europe, and reaching #2 on The UK Singles Chart. The track was also parodied in the memorable sketch "My Songs Are Mindless" (Performed by Kim Wayans) on the television series In Living Color in 1991. Wayans skewered the songs simple rhythm and melody by singing "There goes Fred Flinstone. I got a song there, got another song there: Yabba Dabba Doo Yabba Dabba Da, Yabba Dabba Doo Yabba Dabba Da...". The clip from the comedy show would sometimes show up mixed into Water's own composition at Gay clubs with video screens. Despite all the humorous jabs (and some serious derision as well), the song seems destined to be one of the imnmortal House Music hits. Scarcely a year after its release, a new version turned up on the "Red Hot + Dance" AIDS fundraiser disc (1992, distributed by Sony Music), getting its remixer (Joey Negro) his first real taste of American exposure. and often sampled keyboard riff. The track reached #8 on the

Despite some additional contributions by remixer Steve "Silk" Hurley, Waters' next releases were promoted only in the dance music markets, but she made an unexpected comeback in 1994 when "100% Pure Love" hit #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the longest charting singles on the Hot 100 at 45 weeks ("Gypsy Woman" remained on the chart for an average 16 weeks).

Her 1997 self-titled album included another Top 40 US hit, "Say...If You Feel Alright," but mainstream success in the US has since eluded her. However, Waters remains successful on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with recent hits like "Come On Down" and "My Time." (Both of which went #1 US dance, the latter making top 40 in the UK). "Gypsy Woman's" keyboard-chord was recently sampled on rapper T.I.'s 2006 mega-hit "Why You Wanna". Waters performed at various gay pride events across the US in 2006.

In 2007 her track "Destination Calabria" hit the Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart. Waters is rumoured to be working on new material.
