Tom Byron, Lizz Tayler Appointed to XRCO '11 Duties

HOLLYWOOD—The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) has announced legendary adult performer/director Tom Byron as host of its 27th annual awards ceremony, returning to the Highlands Hollywood nightclub Wednesday, April 13. Upcoming starlet Lizz Tayler was also named the first "Heart-On Girl," the show's traditional duo of hot new performers on hand to present the trophies.

"Tom Byron is a living legend, an icon," said XRCO co-chairman Dirty Bob. "Who better to preside over an evening honoring the best our industry has to offer than Tommy?"

On the choice of Lizz Tayler as trophy girl number one, Dirty Bob offered, "Lizz is exactly what we are looking for in a Heart-On Girl. She's cute, she's sexy, and she's hard working, which makes her a star on the rise."

Last year's sponsors for the XRCO Awards included IAFD.com, Wicked Pictures, Deep Throat Energy Drink and Porn Pros.

"We are in the process of lining up sponsors for the upcoming show, and we hope these and more will return in this capacity," Dirty Bob said.
