On The Red Carpet At The "Oscars Of Porn"

Bill Geist Brings Us An Awards Extravaganza Unthreatened By The Writers' Strike

(CBS)  Bill Geist brings us an expose, of sorts, at one of the most overlooked extravaganzas in show business: the "Oscars of porn."

---

With the Golden Globes ceremony cancelled by the writers' strike, and the Oscars threatened, film fans were starved for red carpet glitz!

Don't worry, we're here to help.

We visited the red carpet of one of the most overlooked extravaganzas in show business … the Oscars of porn

Yes, the stars are out tonight. They're almost completely out.

In my best Joan Rivers guise, I asked one young woman about the black dress she was wearing, or more accurately perhaps, not wearing.

Frankly, she was attired but she admitted she was not wearing any underwear.

I was. Well, one out of two ain't bad.

And of course you have to ask those on the red carpet if they're nervous.

A woman named Audrey said, "Yes, you know it's the funniest thing, I can [bleep], [bleep] and [bleep-bleep], yet to say 'thank you' for an award would be nerve-wracking."

You should also ask them about their work, their art, their films. The plot, perhaps?

"Actually, there is one ironically," another woman named Sammy said. "There's a Tupperware party. And we were supposed to be a bunch or ritzy housewives showing each other how to use our Tupperware and then [bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep]."

Yes, the 25th Annual AVN Adult Movie Awards ceremony went ahead last weekend in Las Vegas - unaffected by the writers' strike, perhaps because porn films have so little dialogue.

Stormy Daniels was up for 25 awards, including best screenplay and best director. "A lot of people don't believe there are screenplays in porn," she told Geist. "'Operation: Desert Stormy' has an 82-page screenplay, so there's a lot of dialogue, yes."

"When do you talk?" Geist asked.

"Between sex."

The red carpet was awash with with porn celebrities, like Tera Patrick and Hall of Famers Dyana Lauren and Steven St. Croix.

But the biggest star in this parallel universe is Jenna Jameson, accompanied by ultimate fighter Tito Ortiz.

She's a crossover star, as they say, having appeared on hundreds of magazine covers, written a book that was a NY Times bestseller, "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star" (HarperCollins), and even been enshrined in Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. It doesn't get any more mainstream than that.

"I need to be cloned on some level," Jameson told Geist.

"I agree, I think every man in America should have one," he said. "No offense."

Among her other accomplishments: debating at Oxford. "Yes, I debated about the right to view pornography. And I won, 286 to 1. I'm a very convincing girl."

The awards are preceded by the Adult Entertainment Expo, a big porno trade show with about 350 exhibitors.

And they do exhibit … everything. Of course we really can't show you much of anything.

We had to kind of tiptoe around the fringes of an expo we found both bizarre and perplexing, frankly.

One young man there was passing out Bibles, under a sign which read "Jesus Loves Porn Stars."

"Does Jesus love porn stars?" we asked.

"For sure, he loves porn stars as much as pastors," the man said.

There were also the peddlers of fake flesh: high-end love dolls, as they're called.

"We have ten different bodies," the salesman said. "We have sixteen different faces, people come to our Web site, they pick the face they like, they pick the body they like, then they put them together - building their ultimate woman."

They're well beyond the blow-up doll. One of the seller's dolls became a crossover star itself last year, playing a major role in the recent Hollywood film "Lars and the Real Girl."

Then there was Ron Jeremy, a porn legend. "I started in '78, [when] porno was more taboo."

While not matinee-idol handsome, Ron has hidden qualities. Fortunately he was here unveiling something else … a new PETA campaign, promoting the spaying and neutering of pets.

Fans are welcome at the trade show; porn is fan-friendly. Very.

"It's cool, yeah," Tera Patrick said. "I call this Fan Appreciation Week."

Fans are even welcome to attend the awards ceremony, where winners are recognized in 114 categories. Can we list some of the categories? No! Can we even say the names of the films? No! Except to say they use language normally heard only at bachelors' parties and doctors' offices.

There were acceptance speeches … and there were tears.

And on this historic evening, Jenna Jameson shocked the world by announcing she'd no longer appear in porno films.

"I'm launching my fragrance, which is called 'Heartbreaker," she told Geist. "I'm about to launch my reality show, about to launch my clothing line 'Hello Jenna.' I feel like I'm paving new ground for a lot of women in the industry."

Women like 20-year-old Terra Wray, who when asked said she didn't want to be a Hollywood starlet. "No, I wanted to be a porn star." Which she now is. "I know, dreams really do come true."

… Which will have to pass for a touching ending at the "Oscars of porn."

What the hell were you folks thinking? Are you that desperate and delirious for material that you think it''s okay to run a segment on Pornography on your show? ( which airs at 10 am on Sunday morning?) I switched to your show while watching cartoons with my 2 year old child and was appalled and disgusted to see a bunch of dim witted Porn freaks with their spray on tans and silicone pumped bodies parading around! This is just another example of how the new messed up media powers that be who have been raised on a steady diet of filth and depravity are trying to integrate Pornography into mainstream America little by little. A mention here, a segment on a talk show there slowly until the brain washed masses think " it''s okay- it''s perfectly normal!".
Well, I''m here to tell you it''s not Okay, it''s not entertaining, it''s not normal it''s disgusting- Whoever approved that segment should be fired and that
that was the last time I will watch the show.

My family and I often spend "family time" on Sunday morning watching your show. This includes my 2 and 4 year daughters. This morning, we were appalled to see the story choice featuring adult film awards. We immediately had to change the channel. This story was inappropriate and very offensive for Sunday morning viewers. As much as we have long enjoyed the quality and content of Sunday Morning, this segment makes us question your judgment and integrity. I do not watch any other CBS morning show, and will likely not watch Sunday Morning anytime soon. You should be embarrassed and someone should rethink the intelligence of this person who approved this segment.

[beachlady7]

I can''t believe that a national news company such as CBS would resort to such scum reporting as the "Awards for Porn stars" reported on Sunday morning. Has our society really come to this when a 20 year old girl (and she still is a girl) would have her dreams come true by being a porn star? Shame on you Bill Geist and on CBS for such trash!!

[peedo5]

Come on people, Osgood warned beforehand and you should have done the responsible thing, change the channel. My 8 yr old was in the room and when I heard the warning, I changed the channel.
I actually was very interested in how Bill Geist would cover the topic. I thought it would be hilarious, I''m hoping it gets posted online.
As far as *** being disgusting, I feel sorry for you, you''re not doing it right. Only kidding.
Here''s an interesting question, why did you keep it on long enough to see the spray on tans and silicon implants, I sure didn''t.
The point is, be there and know what your children are watching and if it''s not appropriate change the channel. I do it all the time. *** is a natural thing and by reacting to it as taboo you only make them more curious to see it. Explain it as part of our nature and part of life and you''ll have opened a line of communication to your kid that should last a lifetime.
Flipping through tv channels I come upon material not suitable for my child from time to time (We only have an antenna no cable.) It''s my job as a parent to deem what acceptable.

[frannie222]

My husband and I often watch this show on a lazy Sunday morning whilst laying abed and drinking coffee. Most times the show is quite enjoyable and thoughtful. This morning''s segment on the pornography film awards was completely out of character and disappointing, to say the very least. What in the world were you thinking?? How can you think it ''ok'' to legitimize the pornography industry in such a manner? Did you actually think most audience members would find it entertaining?? Doesn''t it seem at all wrong to you that your host warned parents that they might want to have their children leave the room for the next segment? What??? Isn''t this "Sunday Morning?" Again, we are extremely disappointed. I would say this permanently tarnishes our view of your show.

[danac1234]

Unbelievable. The porn industry gets enough attention with out you giving them more, especially Jenna Jameson. I cannot tell you how offended I am by this. The only thing about this segment that was good is that you gave XXXchurch.com a few seconds of airtime time. Bad decision for CBS to do this kind of story.

[watcher269-2009]

Finally, Something worth Reading ;) Heeheehee

Yep - in the True Christian way it is better to Read about Killing, lying, Govt. F*cking us, People Moaning about *** when there is so much hatred and they don''t give a Shiit about that.

Hypocrite

[najnels]

There are so many good stories to report on and so many people doing positive things, why would you choose porn and celebrate that. When porn addiction is at all time highs, even among children, who made the decision to expose those who watch your show for information, education, positive entertainment. There was also the pole dance exhibit in an earlier segment this morning. Please be aware of who your audience is and take the high road in programming. VERY disappointed. I watch every Sunday knowing it is a good product, continue with the good and positive things in an industry that uses *** and violence to get ratings.
Expecting higher standards in the future.

I really liked the show on the "Oscars of Porn". I don''t see why so many folks are so upset. They shouldn''t have watched if they were offended by the content of the show. I don''t watch the evening news with my children... too much violence. I don''t complain, I just don''t watch. Great show CBS...

[element51]

Let me start by saying that I am not a porn fan. I always prefered doing to watching. This story brought out more raw emotion than anything I have seen since I started to use this site. It is obvious that CBS made a big mistake in airing this segment. While I support the folks on here who were outraged, I also find it odd that in video stores that rent porn movies they are the number one rental. The number of porn sites that are available on the internet number in the thousands. That being said, it seems that there is an incredibly huge market for this type of "entertainment". While I do not believe that kids should be exposed to this stuff, I do not believe that censorship is the answer. Adults should be able to read or watch whatever they please according to their own moral codes. Although I chose to pass on this type of "entertainment" I do not feel that I have a right to tell others that they cannot view it if it is their choice. Frankly it is degrading to both men and women but it is not my place to judge. To bad that CBS pulled such a boner. Whoever made the decision to air this is definately due for a performance evaluation.

[jw218389]

Typical Bible Thumper (two threads before):

Complains about *** but will "praise the Lord" while Walker Texas Ranger blows cannon size holes in everyone that looks at him funny.

GREAT STORY CBS!!!

[nikki2231]

I''m going to support my female pornstars. I love Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, Stormy Daniels and others as well. I love the segmemnt it was pretty cool and interesting!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT ADULTERY/FORNICATION?
1. Exodus 20:14
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Exodus 20:13-15 (in Context) Exodus 20 (Whole Chapter)
2. Leviticus 20:10
And the man that committeth adultery with another man''s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor%u2019s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
Leviticus 20:9-11 (in Context) Leviticus 20 (Whole Chapter)
3. Deuteronomy 5:18
Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
Deuteronomy 5:17-19 (in Context) Deuteronomy 5 (Whole Chapter)
4. Proverbs 6:32
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
Proverbs 6:31-33 (in Context) Proverbs 6 (Whole Chapter)
5. Jeremiah 3:8
And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Jeremiah 3:7-9 (in Context) Jeremiah 3 (Whole Chapter)

[jkhagemann]

Qazi63.. nobody cares what the bible says about adultery/fornication. For one thing these are consenting adults, nobody is cheating on a spouse. Also remember the bible was written by men that had some serious mental issues. Don''t take it to literally.

[ontheleft]

That''s the main reason I like to watch porn - the acting. The *** scenes are just filler material to me.

[efarris38]

I like Talon aka Lex Baldwin, he is the best porn star and seems to make a name for himself amongst a cross section of people including ***, Straights and Bisexuals. He is a hottie and as long as he continues to make porn then I will continue to watch, actually he is one of very few that has my full attention!

[efarris38]

One more comment...the reason I LOVE CBS News is that they are never afraid to tackle any issue head on including things like pornography. People can call it the Clinton Broadcast System or whatever but I simply see it as good journalism. We can''t hide under rocks forever and pretend people just aren''t there or do not exist. Pornography in moderation I think can be healthy in some ways as long as people dont get addicted and that the characters depicted are absolutely over the age of 18 and consenting adults.

[ruduhn]

It has been a Sunday morning staple in our home to watch the CBS Sunday Morning television show. Our family sits together, watches the show and reads the newspaper as my husband cooks his Sunday Special chocolate chip pancakes for our son. We have had this "tradition" for over 10 years. We thought it was a great family time. Until today! My jaw is still hanging to the ground in regards to Bill Geist''s report on the "Oscars of Porn". I am so appalled that my 15 year old son and my 92 year old mother had to listen to this "piece of......porn" until I realized what I was actually listening and watching and immeadiately switched the channel. Is it ratings week or has Bill Geist just run out of funny wholesome stories? Hey Bill, what did your family think about this story? So much for family television at 9am on a Sunday Morning with the family. Shame, shame, shame!!!!! CBS must be in real trouble.

[jt8owat]

I have watched CBS Sunday Morning for many years now and felt it was one of the few "safe" shows left that I could feel confident and comfortable watching. My children are now grown but I can remeber countless Sunday mornings watching the artist segments with them as well as many of the historical and current event programs. It is to my amazement though while preparing to go to church this morning that I heard the word "porn" a couple of times. The segment continued as I was getting ready so I left it on to hear just what was so important that it had to take place during this particular show. I wonder what parents would tell their kids who were watching unaware that they now had to censor the CBS SUNDAY and I repeat SUNDAY MORNING program. Is it too much to think this segment might have been better suited for an evening presentation? There is nothing funny about having to explain to children what the word "porn" means. I have no problem with free speech, I simply wonder if there could have been a better place and time for this bit. Don''t stink up a show that has had an excellent reputation for decent programming. Shame on you all for not thinking this through. Again, on Sunday mornings a LOT of us are preparing to go to worship services. If this kind of thing happens again, I just might give ABC a try. This is a shot across your bow - don''t ever insult and dishonor your viewers in this way again....you just might lose the few you have left!

[southernepf]

The program "Sunday Morning" has been my favorite for many years and I''ve never written to a news organization before. But this morning I was moved to do so. I was so dismayed to see the special on the porn award show. To run this segment on such a quality program reflects a real lack of judgement by management. It is advertising matertial for the industry as well as material that belongs in another time slot and program. I hope you all get your act together.

[standlee5]

IT won''t be long before they''ll be offering pornforming classes at high sxhool. Teach ''em young. we want our girls to be good little hho''s. There going to have to do something when there''s no jobs left in US

[standlee5]

Porn the industry of the New America.

[andrew_693]

This show beats hands down any of those sunday morning church shows.

[nikki2231]

I''m tired that some people say porn is disgusting... If you think that''s disgusting... Disgusting is when a person is raping a person that''s disgusting, cannibal that eats people, that''s disgusting, person that looking at child, that''s disgusting. I don''t want to hear it. The female pornstars are so cool... nice to get to know on MySpace, instead of judging them the wrong way.

Tera Patrick is a really sweet person. Gave me a lovely email, and been so sweet. I think she''s amazing, sometimes it''s cool to see other females for a CHANCE! Instead of seeing female celebrities HERE AND THERE!

Charles Osgood and Bill Geist should be given a couple weeks off and then fired. What a piece of ***.

[tmh0526]

I am extremely disappointed in this story and the CBS would permit it on their program, let alone on a Sunday morning, if one can actually call this a story. I am trying to raise my daughter to realize that beauty is not everything and that she should be a morally decent person and that she can obtain success through avenues that don''t involve our looks, but involve using our minds. All a young girl saw in your story today were beautiful women using such filthy language they had to be bleeped three or four time in one sentence. They saw designer dresses and a glamorous lifestyle. You spent the entire segment glamorizing the porn industry. Why should a young girl worry about getting an education when she can make a career out of giving up, on a regular basis, something as precious as her body? I feel that you gave the wrong impression to many young girls who may have been watching your show this morning. Like another who responded, I also feel that there could have been a more appropriate time for this filthy segment of "news".

[whereyouare]

I''m disgusted. I finally found a program I really enjoy. I mean, I get out of bed on Sunday morning to watch this show! And this morning''s show disappointed me twice. First the camera''s crotch-shots of the pole dancers (thank goodness the women were actually clothed, but STILL ....) and then the stupid story on the porn stars. I guess I thought Bill Geist had better taste than this. For the first time on a Sunday Morning program, I had to change the channel. You blew it, this morning, CBS, and you owe your audience an apology.

[peedo5]

Not having seen the report, because I switched because my 8 yr old was in the room, can the people who compalined so much about it tell me what offended them so much they couldn''t change the channel?
Can I ask another question, and answer honstly, how many of you watch the crime shows and "ripped from the headlines" shows like 48 hrs, etc detailing someone''s horror of murder rape or other such really disgusting programming?
Answer honestly. Is the porn industry worse than that? Can you honestly say with a clear conscience it''s ok to watch crime drama and then complain about the adult industry?
There are other segments of the Sunday Morning that I have had to turn off in front of my 8 yr old, too. But that''s just being responsible.

Personally, I''d rather have my kid hear about oral copulation than Oral Roberts.

I think CBSNews ROCKS!! I love the way they are willing to go out on a limb and cover stories that no one else will bother to take a look at. I think CBSNews is also the leader in covering the Political stories. CBS News is about great journalism, and honest reporting....it isn''t about pleasing a particular demographic. CBS is by far the number 1 source for news here in Nashville, Tn. I also love Katie Couric and how she reports just like she is a neighbor down the street or someone you know personally. There are a lot of stories we dont like to watch such as things involving bloodshed or child abuse, or any other issues graphic in nature. I would much rather entertain a story on porn than some of the atrocities and death we see daqily in Iraq, that is what truly hurts my heart. CBS News you ROCK!! Keep up the good work!!!

I am very disappointed in the choice of "stories" you chose to air on CBS, especially on a Sunday morning. You glamorized the porn industry and passed a long a sad message to young women who are in search of a career. I spend much time trying to teach my own children and my fifth grade students that education is important, but why should any girl need an education as long as she is pretty and can give up something as precious as her body and make a career of it? While my beliefs tell me that pornography is wrong for many reasons, I do believe in the freedom of speech. I also monitor what my children view. But don''t you think you could have found a more appropriate time to air this story other than on a Sunday morning?

Perhaps the CBS Anchorwoman would have been better suited to do this story.

Yeah, she could have done it topless or have her nipples showing during the report.

You folks at CBS are really troubling.
Get a grip on REAL news.
People are watching and shaking their head in your sad display of poor, very poor taste.
Get Katie a tampoon for your Sunday morning fodder.
It isn''t funny, and it isn''t news.

thm0526... get over it. Why did you watch the show if you''re are so repulsed? Accept the fact that not everyone thinks like you. My wife and I liked the story... and we support the porn industry.

Good story CBS.

[chinwe1]

Shame on you CBS for allowing Bill Gueist to use sunday morning to air such garbage and filth on your show. the last thing i thought i would have to do is explain to my 12 year granddaughter while we sat looking at your program was, what is a porn star grand dad? guess we will go back to looking at cartoons on sunday morning instead. shame shame shame

[bklinga]

SundayMorning has become somewhat of a ritual for me and my wife. In the future I''m going to use that time slot for the weekly vacuuming. I am really disappointed in CBS and Charles Osgood for being associated with such a tawdry subject as the Porn Awards. Porn is not funny. It is exploitation and certainly not a subject for Sunday morning. Bill Geist''s bits are usually funny. Who thought of this? My God, get real!! I think CBS owes the viewers an apology. Fat Chance??

I am not a prude, snob, or a Frasier Crane. But I do enjoy being in the company of others who have an intellectual interest in news and the arts. I find CBS Sunday Morning to be a pleasant refuge from the shallow, obscene, and worthless programming that saturates modern television. I enjoyed Charles Kuralt, I enjoy Bill Geist, but I did not favor the piece on the sleazy gathering in Las Vegas, and I felt that it fell below the standards that Charles Osgood sets for the show. Please pursue a higher quality story, Bill. Thanks.
