AVN's 2000 Best New Starlet Bridgette Kerkove is a full-service porn princess, as comfortable in ultra-hard-edged fare as she is in more middle-of-the-road couples material.

Bridgette's Hellions, her new star vehicle line for Jill Kelly Productions, falls, well, safely into the latter category. Handsomely produced, it features Kerkove playing the daughter of Satan (portrayed, in a typically cute turn, by a Don King- coiffed Ron Jeremy), sent to Earth to wreck havoc on "the most sinful city on the planet" - Washington, D.C. It's a mildly amusing script (Jeremy at one point glumly points to a chart showing his slumping soul collection figures, noting "our numbers are down") but one that's not likely to win any awards.

The tape's five sex scenes, meanwhile, while not quite hot as, well, hell, are warm enough to turn on the real-life couples for which they're designed. Indeed, it's a first rate collection of eye candy - Kerkove, Brianna Banks, Miko Lee, Dee and Stevie - who get boned in the vid's two three-ways and three two-ways (got that?)

Of course, even when Kerkove is in her middle-of-the road mode, she can't help but reverting, here and there, to her more naturally raunchy self. Check out, for instance, her brief double anal in scene two and the spent goo oozing out of her asshole, then fed to her, in the closer. That girl most definitely has the devil in her.
