8:20AM STV | Time’s ‘New Faces of Porn’ Spotlights Ron Jeremy: It only took 30 years, but the buttoned-down gang at Time Magazine finally deigned to recognise the world’s most famous male porn star on the occasion of his new book The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz. We think our mothers brainstormed to jointly conduct the interview — “How did you get your start in the porn industry?” “What was your path to the porn industry?” “Were your friends shocked that you were doing this?” — but the high-up, uncensored namechecking of San Fernando Jones and the Temple of Poon seems to have turned a symbolic page from staid newsweekly to prime wanking material.

Adjective Challenged ‘Time’ Critic Adapts Nicely to the Lowbrow in ‘Vegas’ Review

Fans grow up, and their youthful interests quickly dissolve. Her challenge will be overcoming the Hannah Montana stereotype. Miley’s fans are not thinking about the fact that she will grow up too. As she does, she’ll want to change her image, and that change will be met with adversity. It’s next to impossible to fight, embrace, use or love your image. Trust me. I’ve seen this all play out before; it’s the same ball game, just different players in a different time. More »
