Joshua Wins Publicist of the Year from Fame Registry

LOS ANGELES—Publicist/director Joshua has won the Publicist of the Year award from the Fame Registry. The Joshua directed movie Deviance won the AVN Award for Best High-End All-Sex Movie last year.

It was Joshua’s marketing of Deviance and Sun Goddess, along with his promotion of Teagan Presley, Eva Angelina and his other clients, that garnered him the trophy.

Kelli Roberts, who runs the Fame Registry, announced the winners of the 2010 Fame Registry Awards on Twitter Aug. 31, and had this to say about Joshua and his accomplishments in 2009.

“This one category took me the longest to analyze and figure out a winner just based on the sheer amount of data involved in the process,” she said. “It was extremely time consuming but I felt it was an important category to honor those who do the back end work. They work hard for our porn stars and deserve to all be awarded, but really there can only be one winner. After all of this, three names stood out the most which was Brian Gross, Erika Icon and Josh Lehman.

“Well, there is one PR person who has helped guide the career of several porn stars, quite a few of which were award nominees this year. This person can also be credited with the PR success of a title that in today's horrible economic outlook sold an unreal number of pieces. In fact, this person helped to move a single gonzo title, selling four times the total number of pieces in three months than the average DVD right now moves in the entire year, with an almost zero dollar marketing budget.”

“I gotta be honest, the last year has been one shock after another for me,” Joshua said. “To win CAVR and AVN was obviously huge considering Deviance was only my second movie; to win Publicist of the Year against such ridiculously talented competition such as Brian Gross and Erika Icon, shocked is probably an understatement. Best Suitcase Pimp was an award I jokingly thought a few years ago would be the only won I would win, so I am thrilled I’ve been able to make a good name for myself.”

Joshua’s next movie, D2: Deviance from skinworXXX and Adam & Eve, features one of the biggest all-star casts of the year.
