LAS VEGAS (Hollywood Reporter) - The Consumer Electronics Show wasn't the only entertainment trade show in town last week. Sharing space with CES at the Sands Expo Center was trade publication Adult Video News' annual AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, the traditional start-of-year showcase for the booming adult industry.

For some reason I am amused at the thought of the Consumer Electronics Show and the AVNs going on at the same time. Maybe all those nerds attending the CES knew what they were doing planning their convention that weekend. Who did Bill Gates party with this weekend?

[ToddBush]

Can you imagine the "after party" with those two combined? It's like Revenge of the Nerds 5...

[Moleman]

How about Nikki Charm back in the day? Can anyone say "spinner?"

[TheBigB]

I was a big fan of Raquel Darrian myself...

[ToddBush]

Oh, big Racquel Darrian fan here... what legs and a$$!!!

[TheBigB]

...and Kelly O'Dell!

[ToddBush]

Avy Scott is my fave now...

[BossLady]

At least the porn stars are upfront about bein' Ho's.... ;)

[Horatio Gates]

she planned to planned to expand into "extreme anal" in the coming year.

[Clemenza]

With a name like "BossLady"...

[Moleman]

Tyffany Mynx was hot in the day.

Adult entertainment, including porn videos and films shot mainly in Southern California's San Fernando Valley, racked up estimated sales of $12.6 billion in 2005, according to statistics compiled by AVN. That compared with U.S. theatrical revenue of $8.9 billion for mainstream Hollywood films, according to figures from box office tracking firm Exhibitor Relations.

Noteworthy especially when one considers that a typical Hollywood film is going to cost at least $20,000,000 to produce. Multiply this by upwards by 10 if it is an action or sci-fi film with lots of special effects.

What does a porn film cost to make? I'll bet even ones with relatively big stars are made for under $50,000 and take maybe a couple of weeks to film and edit. Amateur ones are made for 1/10th that cost and are shot in a weekend.

There's a lot of money to be made in porn and the vast majority of it is made behind the camera. For every millionaire Jenna Jameson there are a 1000 unknown girls who are quickly chewed up and spit out by the business.

And yet girls are lined up around the block to take their places.

reporters stationed along the red carpet begged for quips about the next project or the state of the industry.

Another in Xena's very long list of peeves . . . a sound bite is not a quip. A short joke can be a quip. The reporters were presumably asking for statements or sound bites.

[TheBigB]

That she was....

The reporters were presumably asking for statements or sound bites.

I'm sure there were all sorts of bites being asked for and received.

Was that a quip? : )

[xsmommy]

porn actresses really need to buy a few vowels for their names...

[TheBigB]

The best thing about "Pirates" was the fact that there was a great deal of conflating going on. ; )

[MotleyGirl70]

Arnold Schwartzenpecker

"Big Butt Road Trip"
