"He’s basically building a utopia and we’re all going to pay for it," says Julia Ann, 47, one of the most sought-after "MILFs" — a popular acronym signifying mature women — in the adult-film industry. "He" in this instance refers to Michael Weinstein, the 63-year-old CEO of AIDS Healthcare Foundation (Ahf), a billion-dollar nonprofit that runs a chain of pharmacies and thrift stores throughout Southern California. On Monday, Ann and several hundred other porn workers took to a stretch of Sunset Boulevard — 21 floors beneath Weinstein's posh corner office at Ahf's

Las Vegas -- Walking around the Adult Entertainment Expo (Aee) in Las Vegas, you'd never know the porn industry was at half-mast, sales-wise.
There are floor-to-ceiling billboards of scantily clad sex actresses and HD TV screens showing every conceivable type of fornication (and a few unconceivable ones as well). Fans can take pictures with stars like Lisa Ann (the porn version of Sarah Palin), Julia Ann (no relation) and Alexis Texas (formerly Alexis Texass). If polite enough, the fanboy or frangirl might even get to touch a breast.
If the Aee was one's only exposure to the industry, the crowded convention hall might seem proof that porn is truly recession-proof. But insiders claim the business has gone limp -- metaphorically speaking -- because more people are watching porn for free over the Internet instead of purchasing it.
The end result means fewer gigs for hard-working porn performers like Dave Cummings,...

Since "Valentino: The Last Emperor," "The September Issue," "Bill Cunningham New York" and the like, we've been jonesing for some good fashion films to come along.
Cue "Fabulous Nobodies," the latest project by "The September Issue" director R.J. Cutler. Cutler will be overseeing the film adaptation of Lee Tulloch's novel of the same name, published in 1989.
Tulloch was a former Vogue Australia editor and editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar Australia, but ditched it all (er, "was dismissed after nine issues for being a little too creative") to come to New York City and write a novel about, well, fabulous nobodies.
The book centers on Reality Nirvana Tuttle, the ever-discerning doorgirl at the Less Is More nightclub. "Life is cruel to people who aren't fabulous," she quips fabulously, and no fabulous people will ever find their way into Less Is More: "You can't bribe me... Why, Mother Theresa couldn't get in...
