Adult performer and Teravision boss Tera Patrick and award-winning male performer Evan Stone have been chosen to host the second annual F.A.M.E. (Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment) Awards Show on June 23 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The event is part of Erotica LA, an annual three-day adult expo.
"I am so honored to be asked to host the F.A.M.E. Awards," said Patrick. "It is such a slick, glossy event… and I just love the fanfare. It promises to be a great time for all."
"It's great to be chosen to work with Tera and to represent the awards in this capacity," added Stone. "I know it'll be enjoyable for everyone who catches it, and those who don't will miss a damn good party. I'm just hoping that they don't expect me to wear a tuxedo."
"We couldn’t have chosen two more recognizable or better hosts," saaid Dan Davis, F.A.M.E. spokesman and Genesis magazine’s Editor-in-Chief. "Tera Patrick is easily one of the most recognizable faces ever in adult. And Evan Stone is not only a great performer on film, but one of the industry’s most entertaining personalities. Their participation guarantees that this year’s show will be a great night for the fans and stars."
The first round of voting, where fans select the eight finalists in each category, is presently underway on the F.A.M.E. website. In addition to the trophies handed out in the 14 categories, the favorite female performer of the year will receive a Tiffany pearl necklace valued at $5,000, while the favorite male performer will receive a blue diamond watch courtesy of gold sponsors, ImLive.com. The live chat hosting site will also provide live streaming of the awards show at www.thefameawards.com. In the weeks leading up to the event, ImLive.com will also host live chats with various nominees.
The F.A.M.E. Awards were created in 2006 by executive sponsors Genesis magazine, Adam & Eve, WantedList.com and AVN as a way for fans to honor their favorite adult film stars, directors, movies and companies. Fans take part in the entire process, from choosing the finalists to ultimately selecting the winners in over a dozen categories. Erotica LA, ImLive.com and HotMovies.com are also on board as gold sponsors this year.
Admission to the 2007 F.A.M.E. Awards is free with admission to Erotica LA, and information on tickets for the convention can be found at www.erotica-la.com.
