At the end of 2017, adult film actress August Ames had just been nominated for the third year in a row for Female Performer of the Year at the Adult Video News Awards. She had achieved a level of fame and longevity that is increasingly rare for porn performers in a constantly changing industry. On December 4th, after making some controversial statements on Twitter regarding her choice not to work with “crossover talent” — male performers who had previously appeared in gay porn — Ames experienced intense online backlash. Suddenly, she was at...

Last December, 23-year-old August Ames died by suicide in a park in California’s San Fernando Valley. Ames was more than an adult film actress; she was a legit porn star. In her four years working in the industry, she performed in close to 300 scenes and amassed over 600,000 Twitter followers. After she made controversial and polarizing statements about gay porn actors that many found homophobic, she received intense cyberbullying, which revealed a schism between the gay and straight communities in the porn industry. It ended in Ames (real name Mercedes Grabowski) taking her own life.

ABC’s “Good Morning America” is set to add a third hour… in the afternoon. Hour 3 of “Gma,” which does not yet have a name or hosts, will begin airing at 1 p.m./12c (and Pt), ABC News said on Wednesday.
Yes, that means “The Chew” is canceled — sorry, foodies. The daytime cooking show will air as planned through September, which is when it will make way for more “Gma.”
A third hour of “Gma” means “even more news, pop culture, compelling interviews and the program’s signature, epic live events,” according to ABC’s press release.

Jessica Drake is supporting fellow adult entertainer Stormy Daniels claims that she was threatened by someone to keep quiet about her affair with President Donald Trump.
In an interview with “Good Morning America” airing Monday, Drake — who claims she refused a $10,000 payment to have sex with Trump after meeting at a Lake Tahoe golf event in 2006 — said Daniels’ story checks out.
“She actually told me about the threat twice,” Drake told ABC News. “So the first time she told me about the threat was shortly after it happened. She relayed the experience to me. I said something like, ‘I’m so sorry, I can’t even imagine. What are you going to do?'”

Recently, Daniels and her attorney, Michael Avenatti, released a sketch of the man who she says threatened her, based on Daniels’ recollection of the incident that occurred in a parking lot in 2011. Daniels previously said she was approached by the individual after she recounted her story about sleeping with Trump at the same celebrity golf tournament Drake is referencing to a tabloid.
Drake told ABC News that when she came forward with her own story about Trump in 2016, Daniels reminded her of the threat she received.
“She goes, ‘Remember what I told you about all those years ago? Be careful. Be really careful. You know, don’t be alone.'”

Get ready because this tea is hot! In her upcoming interview with 60 Minutes, Stormy Daniels is tossing her non-disclosure agreement in the garbage and reportedly sharing even more intimate details about her relationship with Donald Trump. In fact, the Potus and his lawyers are said to be scrambling to stop the segment from airing. So what did Stormy (real name: Stephanie Clifford) reveal about the Donald? According to the political website Talking Points Memo, the adult film star hints that the former Apprentice host has a submissive fetish. "I’m told that in her 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper, Daniels suggests that Trump, how to say this, likes it when women aren’t nice to him, treat him in perhaps denigrating ways," Josh Marshall wrote. "I think that would be very much off-brand for Trump. It also puts in sharper relief why he and his lawyer seem to be fighting...

A $1 million fee stands in the way of porn actress Stormy Daniels divulging more details about her 2006 affair with President Donald Trump. But several people are offering to cover the hefty cost if she decides to go against the Nda she previously signed, barring her from speaking about her intimate interactions with the reality star-turned-politician. In a recent interview with CNN, Stormy’s attorney, Michael Avenatti, claimed that "at least 10 individuals in the last three days alone" have made offers to pay the $1 million fee, although he went on to say that his client is currently not taking any offers into consideration. Avenatti’s comments come just days after Trump, 71, won a temporary restraining order against Stormy, according to court docs — making it legally impossible for the adult film star, 38, to speak about what went down between them more than a decade ago. Stormy first revealed details of her affair...

Porn actress Stormy Daniels (real name: Stephanie Clifford) is currently embroiled in a legal war with President Donald Trump over a messily coordinated "hush agreement" meant to keep her from speaking about their 2006 affair. The most recent update in Stormy’s public battle with Trump? The 71-year-old ex-Celebrity Apprentice host reportedly won a temporary restraining order against Stormy, according to court docs — therefore, making it legally impossible for the adult film star, 38, to divulge anymore details about their intimate interactions. With so much emphasis on Stormy’s affair with Trump, many forget that the X-rated entertainer is not just a headline, but a mother. While her name remains unknown, Stormy does share a seven-year-old daughter with her ex, drummer and porn producer Glendon Crain. Stormy doesn’t post photos of her little girl on social media, so we have no idea what she looks like — but we’re sure she...

It's a "he said, he said" situation between Mötley Crüe rocker Tommy Lee and his 21-year-old son Brandon Lee, one of two sons Tommy had with ex-wife Pamela Anderson. Tommy claims Brandon sucker-punched him, but Brandon claims he only hit Tommy because Tommy lunged at him. And from thousands of miles away, Pam is chiming in, siding with her son and saying her ex is a "disaster." Here's everything you need to know about this drama… Tommy and Brandon's fight went down on March 5. Around 10:45 that night, police arrived at Tommy's home in Calabasas, CA, and took a report but made no arrests. Tommy was briefly hospitalized for a reported concussion. The following day, Tommy posted an Instagram photo of his swollen lip and blamed his son. "My heart is broken," he wrote in the caption. "You can give your kids everything they could ever want in their entire lives,...

When Stormy Daniels signed a non-disclosure agreement in 2016 following her affair with then-presidential nominee Donald Trump, she listed four people with whom she had previously shared information about their relationship. Turns out, Angel Ryan, one of her confidants, is actually fellow porn star Jessica Drake, who accused the politician of sexual misconduct one month before the election. According to CNN, Jessica and Angel are the same person, citing documents that show Angel registered a trademark for the name "Jessica Drake." Her lawyer Gloria Allred also confirmed the news. "Jessica Drake is still my client. She is Angel Ryan and the one whose name is in the settlement agreement," the famed attorney said. However, she would not comment on Jessica's relationship with Stormy or the timing of the Nda signing and her client's decision to publicly accuse the 71-year-old former reality star.
