Porn is the new black
Veteran rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen has written and recorded two songs for the upcoming skin flick Sacred Sin, saying its director is "like a Spielberg to me."
According to Van Halen:
"I'm working with a friend--very simple," he said. "I like his work. Michael Ninn is like Spielberg to me: the imagery, the way he makes things look, just sensual," he said.
Ninn apparently knows how to make the pizza delivery man or plumber look artistic.
In other porn news, porn was news on the news.
Sweden's state broadcaster SVT faced ridicule earlier this week for mistakenly showing a porn movie in the background of a news broadcast over the weekend. Damn, if only Peter Mansbridge had such props he would be God.
Viewers of a 5-minute news update at midnight Saturday could see explicit scenes from a Czech porn movie on a TV screen behind news anchor Peter Dahlgren. The monitor -- one of many on the wall of a control room visible behind the studio -- normally shows other news channels during broadcasts. Pay close attention to the bottom left.
But staffers who earlier in the evening had watched a sports event on cable channel Canal Plus -- which often shows X-rated films after midnight -- had forgotten to switch it back, said news director Per Yng.
