January 3, 2012 — CHATSWORTH, Calif. — Blond bombshell Nicole Aniston has been selected as the second trophy girl for the 2012 AVN Awards taking place January 21 at The Joint at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Aniston joins previously announced trophy girl Brett Rossi. She replaces Sabrina Maree, who could not fulfill her obligation.
“I feel privileged to be included in the AVN Awards show and will be interested to see the turnout during my first walk down the carpet,” Aniston said. “Hopefully I’ll fulfill my duties up to par and gain a little additional recognition in the process. Should be great to be in the middle of all the action and see a lot of the interworking behind the scenes. Congrats in advance to all the 2012 winners!”
The ceremonial trophy girls serve as a highly visible and prestigious assignment for rising stars within the industry. The duo is on stage for the duration of the awards show and featured prominently on the show’s cable broadcast.

The 24-year-old California native has starred in titles from Elegant Angel, Vivid Entertainment, New Sensations, 3rd Degree, Brazzers, Hustler Video, Evil Angel and Adam & Eve.

One of our favorite porn starts Jesse Jane was named Cyber Siren of the month by AVN magazine.
Digital Playground’s Jesse Jane was named “Cyber Siren” of the month in the January issue of AVN magazine.
Hot on the heals of a massive publicity tour for Pirates II, Nurses and Teachers, Jesse still found the time to create tons of new content for the relaunch of her website, JesseJane.com.
The revamped site caters to Jesse and her personal connection to her fans by offering 10X more content and interactive features including, random and spontaneous live chats, home videos and her secret diary.
Digital Playground’s VP of New Media, Farley Cahen, weighs in on the relaunch,
“It’s a video version of Twitter, allowing Jesse to reach out to her fans any time, from anywhere to let them see exactly what she’s up to.”
Hosted and designed by Digital Playground, JesseJane.com also offers fans a playground filled with new high definition photo sets, daily updates, true high definition streaming, home sex tapes and more.
Jesse smiles,
“I am excited to learn AVN named me “cyber siren” of January; it is really nice to be noticed for interaction I have with my fans on the web. From Twitter, to the new website, I spend hours online every day. I love my fans and there is no better way to reach them.”
Hit movies like Digital Playground’s bestselling “Pirates” and “Teachers” continue to make Jesse Jane the most vibrant adult star in the world
The iPad and porn
0738 days
Today Apple announced a leap ahead in the next generation of computer tablets, which they have simply dubed the iPad.
Of course this is a given for any adult company to jump on this new device which will come out later this summer at various price ranges and configurations. Looking at the specs its quite impressive and here is a lowdown of the video playback options.
- Support for 1024 x 768 with Dock Connector to VGA adapter; 576p and 480p with Apple Component A/V Cable, 576i and 480i with Apple Composite Cable
- H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Clearly anyone in today’s Porn industry who isn’t encoding in H.264 is a bit behind and will be left in the dust. With 9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology, porn will jump off the screen in 3d at you. Ok we made that last part up, but seriously anyone who is in the know is going to adapt their content to playback on this device, its a natural extension of the web, and less of a hassle than the iPhone was to get video content on.
So I would imagine here over at Adult News Daily we will be getting quite a bit of press releases about this new product, and today we would like to share that Digital Playground has announced they will be bringing content to the iPad device when it comes out.
Digital Playground is a consistent front runner in technology and content delivery. As a member of the Apple Developer program for the last decade and specifically the iPhone developer program since its inception, all Digital Playground properties automatically sense whether or not the user is using an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad and customize the experience on the fly. Digital Playground users who purchase an iPad will note the seamless integration between the desktop, laptop, iPhone and iPad.
All videos and interactivity have been optimized for use on each device, including true High Definition streaming. Digital Playground offers this automatically on all company owned websites including www.digitalplayground.com and www.jessejane.com. iPad users will automatically get the HD experience while iPhone customers will get the standard definition videos optimized for that format.
“As the world leader of high definition productions, Digital Playground is poised to deliver the highest quality movies to all platforms including the iPad.”
Farley Cahen, VP of New Business Development said.
“Users can now enjoy the handheld experience by viewing on 10” screen where prior they were watching on a iPhone or iPod screen.”
Joone, Digital Playground Founder says,
“We feel strongly that the iPad experience will undoubtably showcase our high quality movies and we are excited to be at a size and resolution that our clients have come to expect from us.”
Well there you go.. I also have to state while we where at the Apple event today in SF, we had a great time sitting and listing to Steve talk while Godaddy was loaded on our notebook registering iPad domains.
