LOS ANGELES — Adult superstar Joanna Angel has been announced as the host for the 2022 XBIZ Awards red carpet pre-show.

The decorated performer, producer and director — a pioneer of the alt-model industry — will reprise her role from the virtual 2021 XBIZ Awards, where she charmed and interviewed a star-studded roster of  top talent.

“So excited to host the XBIZ red carpet again this year!” enthused Angel.

“I had such an amazing time hosting the virtual carpet last year, but I guarantee you it will be even more fun doing it ‘IRL’ — is that what the cool kids call it?” she added.

With millions of followers, hundreds of movie titles and several bestselling books, the multitalented entrepreneur continues to dominate as an in-demand Renaissance woman.

The 2022 XBIZ Awards, the adult industry’s biggest night, presented by premier creator community ManyVids, will take place on Sunday, Jan. 9 at the world-famous Hollywood Palladium.

NEW JERSEY — Aria Khaide is beginning 2022 by releasing a new creampie clip that will be available on OnlyFans Friday, and ManyVids on Saturday.

The release finds the content creator as an employer about to give Anthony Hopson a review. When he enters Khaide’s office, “he’s surprised to see Aria in sexy red lingerie,” a rep said, “but she explains he needs a thorough review. Aria uses this time to put Anthony to the test and gives him encouragement with lots of dirty talk and sloppy oral.” The review only gets more intense from there.
 
“I hope fans enjoy this hot clip,” Khaide enthused. “I am a tough boss, and expect my employees to excel — in pleasing me.”

In related news, Khaide will now be camming on LiveUnicorns several times a week; her next two shows are set for 7:30 a.m. (PST) Thursday and at the same time Tuesday, Jan. 11.

ORLANDO, Fla. — With 2021 in the rear-view mirror and 2022 newly arrived, Jayson Knight is reflecting on the past year for his Fuzzy Peach Productions as well as future plans.

It has been a tumultuous several years for Knight. “In addition to the pandemic, social unrest, travel restrictions, and lockdowns, Jayson also had to deal with his dad passing away,” a rep said.

Though Knight wondered if he’d shoot again, he was still motivated to return to creating content.

“I’m excited about this year,” he said. “Between COVID and my father getting sick and passing away, I haven’t been very active with shooting and production until recently. It feels good to get back to what I love. I’m happy to being back in the industry shooting and producing content.”

Even though the year is new, Knight already has several performers lined up.

“I’ve got some sexy scenes coming up with some excellent models,” he said. “Kylie Quinn, Bailey Base, Payton Avery, Nikki Sweet, Alice Visby, Braylin Bailey and Vivianne DeSilva, just to name a few. I’m also very excited about a new Latina-themed series I’ve had in mind for some time coming soon.”

Knight’s content for Fuzzy Peach Productions can be found at ManyVids and Clips4Sale.
