"COCKTAILS WITH THE STARS" RETURNS TO MICKY'S!


(WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- After a nearly two year hiatus, the longest running gay adult promotion in Los Angeles returns to recapture the porn industry in West Hollywood.

What promises to be one of the most highly anticipated shows, COCKTAILS WITH THE STARS is set to splash back onto the scene on Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 6 p.m. - a new time for the show! What has been a staple for the porn community featuring the hottest gay porn stars, introducing them to their fans and promoting their latest movies.

If unfamiliar with the 'Cocktails' promotion, the show has been a staple for the porn community featuring the hottest gay porn stars, introducing them to their fans and promotion the adult stars latest movies and ventures.

Join your hosts Scotty B and Angel Benton for what they promise will be an unmatched return featuring surprises, giveaways and of course... porn stars!

Throughout 'Cocktails' history it has continually raised the bar on what a porn star show should be. Incorporating the most in demand hot porn stars with some of the wildest hosts, the weekly event has evolved to what Scotty B describes as "the hottest mess you'll ever witness... in a good way! From previous hosts like Will Clark and Jason Sechrest to porn stars like Matthew Rush or the boys of RandyBlue.com, the show is always evolving.

"I'm ecstatic that Micky's and 'Cocktails' are returning, the wait has seemed like forever!" says Scotty B. "I can't wait to start inviting the Internet studios back and some of the new up-and-coming porn stars."

Keeping with present technology, 'Cocktails' has teamed with the site NickYoungXXX (www.nickyoungxxx.com) to broadcast the show weekly to the world - a first for the show. This teaming is thanks to Nick Young and the management at Micky's.

"Broadcasting the show has been a work in progress even while the bar was still in rubble, we just needed a reliable company to help, and with me already interviewing/working for Nick Young, the choice was obvious," says Scotty B.

Another first for the show is having two permanent hosts. Angel Benton explains, "Gay porn is such a huge industry now that there are literally events going on all over the world, and Scotty and I have to stay on top of that. With two of us, if one of us needs to be out of town attending an event, the other one has the show covered. And if we're BOTH in town, then the audience gets twice the fun!"

The opening night celebration will actually feature a wide variety of porn stars. The guest the following week, April 23rd, will be Cockyboys.com Exclusive (as well as star of Buckshot's "Boy Country") Bobby Clark, who will be promoting his upcoming co-hosting gig at the Grabbys Recovery Brunch in Chicago. If muscle boys are your forte than be sure to swing by on April 30th to check out Robert Van Damme (www.robertvandamme.net), this muscle stud has a new studio and so many stories to go along with it!

APPLE/TEMPTATION REVIEW

On Thursday night Nick Young and Jon went out to the new restaurant/night club entity called Apple. Before 10 p.m. it's a lavish WeHo eatery - after 10 expect to be ushered out so they can quickly move the tables around to accommodate the hordes of people that come to see the new fixtures.

The space that now occupies Apple has been transformed and renamed so many things over the past ten years I've lost track. The new owners of Apple have spent quite a lot of money making the restaurant a spectacular feast for the eyes - however even though the food is pretty good, I'm afraid the prices and smaller portions will keep most of the curious onlookers away.

Overall my Roasted Chicken was a truly special dish that couldn't be copied by any other restaurant and it was hearty enough to fill me up - believe it or not! I definitely suggest you order it if you want to be fed for a nominal price yet leave satisfied. I also was happy to be able to say that I tasted what Minnesota Wild Rice is - and I was with an OFFICIAL Minnesotan at that, yes Nick Young was made in that state *wink*!

After dinner we stuck around to see Chi Chi deejay and Jason Sechrest, I am not sure what he does.... lol!
We hung out with Howard and Gio from Fabscout, Brandon Baker, Rusty - LOVE HIM, Mason Ross, Michael Stabile, T-Ball and a few others that their name escapes me at the moment. Brandon was a complete sweet heart as always and told me that I am a tad intimidating. When he told me that I was flabbergasted - me off all people I wouldn't consider intimidating. If you weren't aware Brandon Baker and I worked in the same office for nearly two years and he was one of the kids that I loved seeing everyday when I came to work. Oh, Brandon also told me that there is some sort of a conflict right now between Jason Sechrest and Angel Benton....hmmmm. When I asked where my Angel was Brandon said that he wouldn't come because it was Jason's night at Apple/Temptation. I respect both of these boys so I hope they work out their differences.... it would be sad to see their friendship die like Brandon Baker's porn career *wink*

The last think I will say about Temptation was that the crowds have seem to DRAMATICALLY dwindled over the past three or four weeks. My BFF said that he attended the first week and the crowd was amazing, filled with fresh, cute faces. The following week I attended to see my friend Francois Sagat perform and although I thought the club was pretty packed, Joseph said that the club was not as full as opening night.
While I think it was because Chi Chi wasn't there, Joseph thought that everyone wanted to just take a peak at the club. I have to admit that the prices for cocktails were a tad rediculous! C'mon, $42 for three Red Bull and vodka, that's a lot of money. Have I blogged about this already? Hmm, well when I asked the bartender why it was so much money he said they automatically pour Belvedere. I wouldn't have minded so much if the drinks weren't served in a small bucket glass - at least at The Abbey you get your moneys worth when they charge you $13 for a drink. Again, I don't see Apple staying in business too long with those prices, even the gay's don't like to spend a lot of money on frivolous cocktails that you end up feeling cheated on.

Getting back to the crowds at Apple (or lack there of), on Thursday Chi Chi's room was packed - OF COURSE, but the main room downstairs that introduced WeHo to a fabulous dancer swimming in a champagne glass was absent - in fact they didn't open the room until after midnight!! When we went to the bar a few weeks ago they made us enter in from that room and leave from the front of the club, now they changed the setup and people leave and line up in front of the club - MUCH BETTER!!!

I think if Temptation doesn't make it then Jason and Chi Chi should continue their Thursday night show downstairs at Apple still, it's a lot of fun and I would go on a weekly basis, even if others don't care for it - FUCK EM!

HALLOWEEN & MY BIRTHDAY

Happy Halloween!!! Check out my Halloween costume from four years ago – yes, I did drag!

It’s scary that in 20 days I will be 29 years old. I know it’s not the big 30, but nonetheless it’s a tad unnerving that another year has gone by so quick.

Some people have asked me what I have planned for my big day and as of right now I have no idea. Any ideas?

I spoke to Jorge , have I ever mentioned Jorge on my blog? I don’t think so. Ugh, in brief I dated him (if that’s what you want to call it) while he had a boyfriend. Yes, I know it sounds awful…but let me explain. At the time I was 21, maybe about to turn 22 and Jorge was a prince to me. He was extremely handsome, friendly, secure and gave me attention – pretty much everything a guy who is 21 looks for right?

I’m not going to rehash the whole rollercoaster ride except that it ended VERY, VERY bad and that today, eight years or so later, Jorge and I can laugh about it. We talk often, I have pup sat a few times for him and I can honestly say we are friends. I love Jorge with all my heart and I am so glad we are close and can watch movies together and be in the same room. Ha! A few months ago we watched a movie and drank wine for a few hours, that was so much fun. Jorge doesn’t read my blog so I don’t mind gloating about him. Then again, he might be reading – I thought Angel Benton didn’t read and then I saw that he did!

Anyhoo, back to my initial posting subject! Jorge’s birthday and mine are not that far a part and he’s going to Puerto Vallarta with his nephew for a few days – now that sounds nice!


Okay, that’s enough for right now. I don’t know if I made a point in this blog but at least I reached out and said Happy Halloween!

VIRAL KELLY

"I'M GONNA BETCH SLAP THE DUMB OUT OF YOU"

Almost a year ago I discovered this funny YouTube video from a pseudo-drag queen trying to sell cupcakes on the Internet. The video was so off the wall and halarious I always shared it with anyone who had an affinity for strange YouTube videos. Check it out below!
This past weekend at Folsom all I heard Angel and Rusty speak about was a drag queen named Kelly aka Liam Kyle Sullivan. To make a small story short the cupcake drag queen is Kelly. Since then she has gone on to make many more funny YouTube videos which are equally as funny. Combining funny one liners with original pop songs I have to give shim an A for originality! Kelly was made a sensation with help from Margaret Cho apparently, and has gone on to doing small spots on MTV, Alias, Gilmore Girls and 8 Simple Rules to name a few... could this plain jane drag queen be the next big thing in Hollywood? I wouldn't put any money on it but she will give most a good chuckle.... BETCH!

SPEAKING OF ANGEL BENTON

THE ABOVE CLIP IS SOMETHING THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ONLINE ALL WEEKEND LONG AND NOW THAT I AM HOME I FINALLY FOUND IT! ANGEL AND I KEPT LAUGHING ABOUT THE SCENE...LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!

STAY TUNED...
