ROME — Eden Ivy will take on the role of an instructor during the second edition of Rocco Siffredi’s “Siffredi Hard Academy” reality show being shot in Rome in September.

The Canadian performer, who recently appeared in Siffredi’s “Introspection” feature, revealed her role in an article for Italian lifestyle magazine MOW.

Siffredi invited MOW’s journalist Niccolò Fantini and photographer Francesca Ricciardi to the first “Siffredi Hard Academy” organized in Italy. Episodes were filmed in several cities, including a Bologna installment featuring Italian adult star Malena.

Tattooed French-Canadian beauty Ivy has been championed by Siffredi since their first encounter.

“I met Eden in November during the latest season of the ‘Academy,’” Siffredi revealed in the July XBIZ World feature on “Introspection.”

“I noticed her first because of her astonishing beauty and said to myself, ‘Oh my God — she’s so beautiful,” he said. “I watched her having sex, and the natural way she was doing it — without pretending, without overacting, without pushing herself — was incredible. And she is a real-life, huge anal fetishist. Eden was always touching her ass, always stuffing her ass with things. I said, ‘This is the girl.’”

SEATTLE — Kheper Games has expanded its range of adult party games with the “Drunk Asshole Says…” card game.

The card game for three to 10 players centers on the designated “Drunk Asshole,” who stirs the pot by telling players what to do and when to drink. Cards are turned over one at a time, and each reveals either instruction for who drinks or a contest. 

Contests include challenges like “I Never…” where you drink if you have never done something the player taking the turn has done, “Drink If” where you drink if you have done the action announced and “Extreme Personal Questions” where you truthfully answer a personal question. Some wins yield drink assignments; others result in a new Drunk Asshole being assigned.

“We based this game off of our most popular holiday game, ‘Drunk Santa Says,'” Kheper Games CEO Brian Pellham said. “We are thrilled to be back visiting customers and having trade show booths again. As our product designer, these in-person meetings really help me design stronger products because of the feedback we receive at them. And it can be as simple as someone asking us why we don’t have a year-round version of our most popular holiday game.”

Kheper’s extensive range of party games includes “The World’s Most Ridiculous Drinking Games,” “Mansplain It,” “Potheads Against Sanity,” “Who’s The Biggest Freak?” and the full line of “What the F*ck?” games.

Earlier this month, Kheper launched 14 new items at the ANME Founders show.

LOS ANGELES — Jewelz Blu is the featured guest on a new episode of the “PlugTalk” podcast hosted by Lena the Plug and Adam22.

“PlugTalk” is described as “the perfect collision between porn and podcasting,” noted a rep. Each week, the hosts interview a performer and then shoot a clip with the guest for their respective fan sites.

The interview segment begins with Blu talking about her first performance with two men; she was able to pick the two male costars and shared how much she enjoyed the experience. While that shoot was for an established company, Blu also talked about her creator-owned content. In addition to cosplay, she often invests in building sets to create unique clips.

She also shared that her now-famous blue hair came before she created her stage name. As a result of her hair color and cosplay work, she knows her fanbase is “largely nerdy.” On this note, one of her future plans is to expand into Twitch.

The full interview can be found on YouTube and follow “Plug Talk” on Twitter.

The feature will be Cherry’s first mainstream acting project since her acclaimed turn as fan-favorite Faye in the second season of HBO’s Emmy-winning drama series, “Euphoria.”

News about the film — described as “a psychedelic techno-satire about growing up in captivity” — was first reported by trade publication Variety today. 

It is the second feature from actor, writer and director Peter Vack (2017’s “Assholes”), and is being produced by The Ion Pack in association with Gummy Films, Simone Films and Fast Rainbow Films.

Cherry, Variety noted today, “began her career as a porn actor, making over 200 adult films, with her videos gaining 125 million views on Pornhub.”

Cherry has also become an in-demand fashion model both for editorial and runway and is currently represented as a mainstream actor by Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Gersh.

The best part is that FapHouse will make the bonus payout of up $50,000 per model with no limitation on the number of models they refer.”

A second method of earning a referral bonus is bringing new customers to the FapHouse platform. “Creators will receive 5% of the money that new users spend, regardless of what content they purchase,” noted the rep.

BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombian adult performer Esperanza Gómez has filed an appeal with Colombia’s Constitutional Court against the local subsidiaries of Instagram and Facebook, over the repeated deactivation of her accounts.

Colombian weekly Semana reported today that the Constitutional Court has agreed to review Gómez’s case to evaluate her claim that her constitutional “right to work” has been violated by the social media giants and their often arbitrary moderation policies.

Gómez has repeatedly complained about Instagram suspensions over her content, and while her account has reportedly been reinstated following gaps of several months, she said she still chose to obtain a preemptive court order to protect her labor rights in the future.

Her filing alleges that the deactivation of her accounts has affected her right to work because without social media she is unable to promote either her own work or the products of third-party sponsors, both crucial to her livelihood.

In 2018, the prominent Latin American adult performer reported that she lost at least three different Instagram accounts. Her current account — which she recovered after a dispute — has over 400,000 followers.

Her complaint against Instagram Colombia and Facebook Colombia S.A. is being reviewed by Constitutional Court Judge Natalia Ángel, after two lower courts rejected Gómez’s action. The Constitutional Court will consider the appeal on “right to work” grounds.

The case could set a precedent in a country that boasts a large number of cam performers and where sex worker rights are generally unregulated.

LOS ANGELES — A photograph of model Tommie Gunn taken by Bella Vendetta is featured on the cover of alternative fashion and photography magazine Eerie Eclipse.

“Bella is known for wearing many hats in the adult industry: performer, producer, filmmaker and photographer,” a rep said. “In 2020, when the pandemic hit, she won a grant from a prestigious museum and began deepening her photography studies. Since then, Bella has had her photography published online, in print, hung in gallery shows and gracing the pages of multiple models’ OnlyFans pages.”

The polymath has also self-published two books of photography and three calendars.

Besides the cover, Vendetta’s photography is featured on the inside cover and table of contents.

“I was so thrilled we got the cover,” Vendetta said. “It was an artistic concept I was just trying with the drastic light and shadows, and having Tommie look like a renaissance painting. I am so happy the response has been so great. It feels good to have success in the art community the same week I have success in the porn industry.”

The July issue of Eerie Eclipse also includes a multi-page photo spread featuring Vendetta as a model, photographed by Carin Teresa Photography.

Digital and print copies of the magazine can be purchased here.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah State Board of Education has approved official guidelines for how to ban books and other material from school libraries, amidst a moral panic stoked by religiously inspired activists seeking to cleanse education of “pornography.”

The policy, local radio station KSL News explained, was created in response to new state law H.B. 374, which “gives direction to school districts and charter schools for reviewing potentially sensitive materials,” after the Utah attorney general’s office “gave not one, but two memos to USBE on how that law should be interpreted.”

Making things even more unclear for library staff, Utah school districts can choose whether or not to adopt the guidelines and implement book censorship reviews.

A key point repeatedly raised by conservative school board members was that they wanted to “keep books off shelves while they’re under review,” KSL News noted.

Under the guidelines adopted yesterday, concerned individuals can fill out a form challenging books they deem “questionable.” The concerned individual, however, “has to be a parent of a student that attends the school, a student who attends the school or an employee of the school.”

Each challenge will result in the formation of a “review committee” to evaluate whether “on the whole” the work “has serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors.”

To appeal a book banned by these committees, the appellant must prove that “a district or charter school did not follow their outlined library policy and/or Utah law during the review process.”

Although USBE approved pulling books from shelves while they are under review, it did provide that such books “can still be accessed with parental permission,” prompting religious conservative activist and board member Natalie Cline to demand that challenged books be “pulled until the review process was complete.”

Cline claimed that “the way it is written, we are actually giving kids access to pornography in a restricted fashion, either by parental permission or by a digital access code. It violates H.B. 374. Our schools aren’t allowed to give students access to alcohol or drugs even with parental permission.”
