BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The May issue of Hustler magazine is now available on newsstands and online, featuring Czech beauty Connie Carter on the cover and the last written publisher’s statement from the magazine’s iconic founder Larry Flynt.

“On February 20, 2021, Larry C. Flynt passed away as the May edition of Hustler Magazine was going to press,” a rep explained. “The May issue contains his last written publisher’s statement. In it, Flynt provides his thoughts on reconciliation and why the Democrats must use it at this time.”

Besides Carter, other pictorials include Jenna Rodgers, Alexis Crystal, Edible Aubrey and Valentina Nappi.

The issue also features an interview with Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, described by the magazine as “one of America’s most prominent authors and authorities on race.”

“In the candid conversation, Dyson talks about #BLM, excessive use of force by the police and what is arguably the most significant mass uprising in U.S. history,” the rep said.

Also, comedian George Wallace — who has performed over 100,000 stand-up shows throughout his career and has been on stage in Vegas more often than any other African-American performer — talks about his comedic formula, the new “Sanford and Son” show and more.

The “Not on Location” feature by photographer Steve Pure spins the tale of what happened when “an assignment to shoot naked models doing naked things” gets disrupted by COVID restrictions and shooting remotely.

The June issue of Hustler magazine, available May 11, will be a special commemorative issue dedicated to Larry Flynt.

LOS ANGELES — Adult film legend, artist and activist Annie Sprinkle and her partner Beth Stephens are among the recipients of a 2021 Guggenheim Foundation fellowship.

The fellowships were awarded to “a diverse group of 184 artists, writers, scholars and scientists,” the Foundation noted. “These exceptional candidates were chosen through a rigorous peer-review process from almost 3,000 applicants.”

“Created in 1925 by Senator Simon and Olga Guggenheim in memory of their son John Simon Guggenheim, the Foundation has offered fellowships to exceptional individuals in pursuit of scholarship in any field of knowledge and creation in any art form, under the freest possible conditions.”

Sprinkle exulted in the news on social media and praised Stephens for doggedly pursuing the grant.

That little gang of mine at the Pink Pussycat Massage Parlor and Kirt Studios — a Guggenheim Foundation fellow,” she said. “Woke up to the news that the very hard-to-get grant Beth applied for happened! I’m so proud of her. She works hard and takes risks. We are in very good company on the webpage with astrophysicists, philosophers and mathematicians. We are friends with some of the other 2021 awardees and we love them!”

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Marica Hase is one of three female Asian adult performers profiled by the Daily Beast in a recent piece examining racism and stereotyping in the industry.

Written by Aurora Snow, herself a former adult performer, the piece  stems from the massage parlor shootings in Atlanta in which Asian women were killed.

“Marica’s views of being Asian and working in adult run counter to what some people [might] assume. She feels that being Asian has helped get her work and other opportunities,” a rep said. “She hasn’t experienced stigmatization in the industry and tells a story about shooting a box cover with other models and being chosen for center stage.”

Snow also interviewed Ember Snow and Kimberly Chi for the piece, who share how they have often been cast as masseuses and foreign exchange students and how they’ve reframed these roles to be more positive.

“The Daily Beast covered an interesting topic, and I was glad to be part of this piece. Ember and Kimberly also had some interesting insights. Whether you’re in the industry or not, you will definitely learn something by reading it,” Hase said.

LOS ANGELES — In a recent InStyle article, “Fifty Shades of Grey” actress Dakota Johnson, who also serves as an investor and co-creative director of sexual wellness brand Maude — explained why the term “sex toy” makes it more difficult for people to take their sexual health seriously.

“For too long sexual health has been poorly marketed, hyper-aggressive and highly gendered,” Johnson told InStyle. “Maude is a company based on universal design making modern, body-safe, high-quality essentials for before, during, and after sex, with yourself or with another lovely human. The caliber and aesthetic of these products is excellent and elevated.”

To promote the brand’s message, Maude has launched the “This Is Not a Toy” campaign. According to Johnson, the campaign’s aim is to “activate hearts and minds in an effort to destigmatize sexual and intimate tools.”

“Often the use of language surrounding sexual products is antiquated, gender-specific and belittling,” Johnson said.

Maude founder and CEO Éva Goicochea said that calling pleasure products “toys” trivializes their benefits.

“By reducing them to juvenile novelties, people’s needs and satisfaction are often being unmet and overlooked,” Goicochea noted. “Moreover, stigmas are being perpetuated. A vibe is not a toy — it is an essential.”

Maude is also creating its own selection of pleasure “essentials,” including a new gender-neutral egg-shaped vibe.

LOS ANGELES — Daisy Taylor and Xander Corvus star in “Dating Daisy,” the first trans scene from Brazzers; the romantic romp will debut Tuesday.

Taylor is also marking her Brazzers debut with the scene. “Even porn’s hottest stars sometimes resort to online dating. This is the case for the sexy Daisy… who swipes through a dating app from her bedroom,” reads the scene description. “Sparks fly when she finds Xander’s profile and the two start trading pics. Daisy ups the ante by sending a steamy striptease video that showcases her hot body and sends Xander running across town to meet her. Daisy’s place, the pair share some awkward but adorable small talk, until their lust takes over… The chemistry is clear and red hot. Welcome to Brazzers, Daisy.”

Taylor expressed her gratitude for Brazzers content producer Marcos Rivera and her leading man.

“I just have to say i’m beyond grateful for my good friend and long-time crush [Corvus] for doing this scene with me,” she said. “He truly is the reason why this was able to happen. And i can’t forget my love for [Rivera] and his crew for making such a wonderful environment.”

Corvus echoed her praise.

“Proud AF to say my first scene with my IRL friend and lovely human being [Taylor] for Brazzers is out tomorrow,” he wrote. “I’m stoked to see more trans representation on mainstream sites like ours. Because guess what? Trans women are women, trans men are men and trans is beautiful.”

“I’m sorry and ashamed it’s taken this long to have this happening in the mainstream,” he continued. “I’m proud to have seen this becoming the norm with other performers on other sites too. I’ll never truly know the struggle of my trans brothers, sisters and NBs but I’ll always be your ally.”

LOS ANGELES — Chris Crocker has minted his viral “Leave Britney Alone” clip as an NFT and listed the artwork with the Foundation app, where the auction launched with an anonymous 10 $ETH (approximately $21,300 USD) bid.

“Is the world ready?” he tweeted.

Crocker is the 2019 XBIZ Cam Awards winner for “Social Media Influencer” and a 2021 XBIZ Awards nominee for “Premium Social Media Star of the Year.”

“‘Leave Britney Alone’ was uploaded to YouTube on September 10, 2007,” noted Crocker in the auction description. “Within 24 hours it had garnered over 2 million views [and] by 2009 it was the second-most-discussed video on the platform. It was the first viral video to get mass mainstream coverage.”

“I made this video as a gender-bending teenage high school dropout in my grandparents’ bedroom. I had no idea the impact its message would have; years later, maybe society is finally starting to get it,” he continued. “Own a part of internet and pop culture history!”

The move has prompted tech and media reporters to wonder if other viral memes will be minted in a similar manner.

“Of course, the ones who were silent when I was mocked, threatened, assaulted and ridiculed for years will have a an issue with me selling ‘LBA’ as an NFT and quite frankly they can kiss the entirety of my ass,” Crocker wrote.

Follow the auction here, which is set to close later today, and follow Foundation on Twitter.
