<i>Cheri</i> Celebrates 31st Anniversary

NEW YORK - CHERI Magazine has published a special 31st Anniversary issue featuring some of the adult world's most popular starlets.

On stands Tuesday, the issue includes Tera Patrick's first CHERI cover, starlet Gina Lynn's Tart Of The Month layout, a pictorial of current Sex Columnist Jesse Jane as well as Jenna Jameson's first-ever magazine cover. Jameson made her adult debut in CHERI in August 1993, with the magazine's December 1993 issue being the AVN Hall of Famer's magazine cover.

"CHERI is the number one hardcore magazine on the market," Managing Editor Rob Perez told AVN. "When you look at other magazines, they're merely cloning what CHERI does so well."

The issue opens with a pictorial of reigning Tart Of The Year girl, Shay Laren along with a girl-on-girl set featuring Renee Perez and Celeste Star. Also featured are interviews with Shane's World contract starlet Casey Parker and AVN Female Performer Of The Year Hillary Scott, plus a six-page behind the scenes look at Jules Jordan Video.

As part of the anniversary celebration, five readers will win an autographed copy of Corruption — the AVN winner for Best Video Feature — signed by Hillary Scott, Kylie Ireland, and director Eli Cross.

The issue also offers a 10-page spread of this year's AVN Awards Show and Expo in Las Vegas, with behind-the-scenes photos of all the festivities.

Newsstand editions of the magazine include a full-length compilation DVD, Classic Legends, featuring legendary performers like Nina Hartley, Jill Kelly, Kylie Ireland, Taylor Wane and Wendy Whoppers.
