Lexington Steele Talks About the Mainstreaming of Adult

Lexington Steele, owner of Mercenary Pictures and three-time AVN Male Performer of the Year, weighed in on his opinions of the adult industry on TV One's late night talk show, Baisden After Dark.

Hosted by national radio personality Michael Baisden, Steele's appearance on Baisden After Dark centered on the growing acceptance of the adult industry in popular culture. Fellow performer Nikki Fairchild and Senior Pastor of the first African Village Church Ray Hagins also were on hand during the show.

"The show's approach to talking about the adult industry was refreshing,"
Steele, who also appeared on Baisden's nationally syndicated radio show,
said.

"Michael didn't ambush us with anti-porn guests or paint the industry
as unsavory or being full of social misfits - in fact, the pastor he had on
stage with us, Ray Hagins, was very supportive of the role X-rated videos
could play in relationships. Michael concentrated on why it was becoming a
more acceptable part of society and did not judge the industry or the people who are part of it."

The appearance on Baisden After Dark follows a string of mainstream
appearances for Steele, including a role in two episodes of Showtime's Weeds and the use of Topco's Lexcalibur, a dildo molded after Steele, in HBO's Entourage, as well as the completion of his own pilots for a reality and talk show. Steele will also appear in an upcoming episode of FX's Nip/Tuck.

NY Post: "Defiant Porn Poobah to Sell Amy Fisher Vid"; Copyright Infringement Case Coming?

Porn Valley - A Los Angeles porn peddler yesterday said he's going forward with plans to sell an Amy Fisher sex tape, despite her threats to take him to court.

David Joseph, CEO of Red Light District, said he's on firm legal footing and will sell "Amy Fisher Caught on Tape" on Nov. 14, for $40 a pop.

Fisher's husband, Lou Bellera, sold footage of the couple's sex romps to Red Light this summer when he and the Long Island Lolita were briefly estranged.

"I made this deal with Lou Bellera, and I'm very confident we have everything legally done," Joseph told The Post.

But Fisher's lawyer, William DalesSandro, said that his client never signed off on Bellera hawking the tape and that she has an airtight case of copyright infringement.

Joseph credited Bellera, a professional videographer, with producing good footage.

"I've watched it several times. The lighting is good, the sex is good, Amy looks good," Joseph said.
