    Director Kris Kramski is developing Pornovision 2 for Hustler Video.
    The original earned the 2002 AVN Award for Best All-Sex Film with its slick fusion of hardcore sex and hot techno music. It was also the first film in Hustler Video’s relatively brief history. The company’s second film was Kramski’s controversial America XXX: A Tribute to Sex and Rock & Roll, an AVN Editor’s Choice in October that went on to win AVN Awards in January for Best Music and Best Art Direction.
    Kramski tells me that he just completed the America XXX DVD that includes extras such as casting photos of the numerous starlets who tried to be in the movie, a director’s commentary in both French and English and on-location footage from the shoot in Hungary.

    Private contract star Jodie Moore, Nikita Denise, the AVN 2002 Performer of the Year, and Sophie Evans will appear in a photo spread in the April issue of GQ Germany.
     Swiss celebrity photographer Isabel Snyder, who lives in Los Angeles, captured the sexy trio at a private residence in Los Feliz last week and even took some test shots for the cover. The starlets wore European silk lingerie, designer shoes and "hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry," Private’s Mara Epstein, who watched the 12-hour shoot, tells me. It also marked the first time GQ Germany has ever photographed porn stars.
     Snyder's work has appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Esquire and Cosmopolitan, among others. Oscar winners Halle Berry and Denzel Washington are among her previous subjects. The magazine should hit newsstands in mid-March.
     Epstein says the makeup artist from a crew that was 20 deep headed straight to the airport after they wrapped because her next assignment was to make up Trista Rehn, The Bachelorette, for her photo shoot for the new Got Milk? ad campaign.

     Darkside Entertainment, one of the only producers of all-black porn, will feature a scene by up-and-coming rapper Phalos Mode in Freaks of the Industry 8.
     Phalos Mode, whose debut solo album "PhalosAngeles" was just released, performed a scene about a year and a half ago for Darkside director/owner Nicky Starks. The director tells me he held the scene, not knowing where to use it, and recently decided it belonged in the soon-to-be-released Freaks. Starks met the rapper through Obsession.
    "He wanted to do a scene. He knew a lot of the porn girls already," Starks says. "Then he just called me (in late January) and told me his brand new record got released."
    Unlike virtually every rapper who is dipping into porn, Phalos actually fucks.
    "It wasn’t like he jumped on some shit just because his record came out," Starks says. "He's a good friend and a big fan of the girls and that’s how I met him and it just happened to work. I knew he had a record deal."
