And if you were blissfully ignorant of that development, then the following news probably won't have as much impact. But for the rest of us, who've all been deeply missing the site of pretty little Charlotte taking a nice hard cock, it is quite a relief to learn that Charlotte recently announced she'll be shooting boy-girl scenes for ATK Petites.

Now if we could just get a timeline on when her scenes will be released, so we can start one of those countdown calendar..the Charlotte Stokely Hardcore Advent Calendar, perhaps? (Cause if you ask us, Charlotte doing boys again is way better than Christmas.)

Yes, it's true: we've received word that Hanna has retired from the hardcore scene. Though she's still under contract with Vivid, she's "on leave" and may never return to porn. We'd be lying if we said we weren't saddened by the news—but at least we'll always have the memories, right?

But wait, what's that you say? How has Ruby set a record with a mere 45 men when Sabrina Deep banged 77 men a few years back? Well, do keep in mind that Ruby was trying to set the UK record, not the world record, which lowers the bar considerably (especially given that no one in the UK had ever attempted to set such a record before).

But enough with the quibbling over details: the important thing is that Ruby banged a whole lot of dudes, and Red Hot TV will be making the epic fuckfest available on TV November 27 and 28. We've got our fingers crossed that they release a DVD edition for all of us overseas types—we know quite a few people who'd enjoy getting Ruby's adventure as a stocking stuffer this Christmas.

We took a few minutes to catch up with Penny—who, yes, really is retired for really real—and found out a little bit about what she's been up to since leaving the adult industry. Interview above.

We don't know about you, but we are definitely going to find a way to be at her twenty-second birthday party. By hook or by crook...or at least by extensive flattery (you know how much we love you, Faye!).

According to Stevie, she's leaving the biz first and foremost to focus on her art (the non-naked kind), and secondly to move back to the East Coast to be with the ones she loves. If we had to pick a reason to give up work in the adult industry, well, we couldn't think of a better one—so best of luck to you, Stevie! And if you want to hang out with other dyed-in-the-wool East Coasters, well, you know how to get in touch with Fleshbot HQ.

But wait, there's more! Crash Padder Jiz Lee has a little celebration of her own: she's offering a free copy of "Crash Pad Series Vol. 4: Rope Burn" to whoever woos her with the best sexy slang. Details on her blog (link below)—and may the most cunning linguist win.

The full press release:

GIANNA MICHAELS AND AVA ROSE SHOOT 1st ANAL SCENES FOR BIG WET ASSES 15!

Big Wet Asses, the winner of AVN's coveted Best Anal Themed Series award for 2006, 2007, & 2008 is back!

Elegant Angel is delighted to announce that porn superstar, GIANNA MICHAELS, stars in the 15th edition of the critically acclaimed series, performing in her very 1st, highly anticipated anal scene. Former contract girl, and current big butt superstar, AVA ROSE, also performs in her 1st anal scene in the movie. They both appear alongside a stellar collection of industry leading lights, including the spectacular Mia Rose, MILF superstar Julia Ann, and the beautiful and passionate Kimberly Kane.

Big Wet Asses 15 is the first edition of the series to be shot in 1080p High Definition. The movie will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray in a Collector's edition 2 Disc set full of extensive extras including extended BTS, a series retrospective, and multiple bonus scenes. The DVD will be released with innovative special packaging that will be a 1st for Elegant Angel. The release date is scheduled for the end of June.

Gianna performs in her 1st anal scene with former male performer of the year Michael Stefano. Ava Rose stars in her 1st anal scene with Mr Pete. Mia Rose and Julia Ann both feature, respectively, alongside Manuel Ferrara. Kimberly Kane performs in her scene with current male performer of the year, James Deen.

"It really went amazing," said Gianna. "I was so nervous at the beginning because I had never done anal on video before. But, it went so smoothly, and I had so much fun. Michael Stefano is great so I knew it would be an awesome scene. We all just had a really great time."

Director, William H. was delighted with this volume of Elegant Angel's flagship series: "Our goal from Big Wet Asses 9 onwards was always to make the next volume even better than the previous one. With each edition it becomes more of a challenge. But, we went all out for Big Wet Asses 15, and listened to who the fans wanted to see. Every scene was excellent and overall I think its one of the best Big Wet Asses ever. Gianna's anal scene isn't like your typical 1st anal scene. It's very hardcore and features lots of ATM. Julia Ann's scene with Manuel is possibly the best ever in the entire series. The passion and intensity of that one really blew me away."

They're keeping mum on most of it, but we do know that Trina The Three-Breasted Wonder and the Scratch ‘n' Sniff centerfold both make an appearance. Also, Alexis Texas is on the cover... and really, isn't that in itself reason to celebrate?

We can't say that this comes as a surprise. Back in February, Penny was blogging about the shortage of work in Porn Valley, a difficult situation that had caused her to take a new job as cam site MetroBabes's Studio Manager. And then there was the announcement a few weeks ago that she'd be appearing on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab," to work through sex addiction issues with Dr. Drew. But it was only this weekend, upon discovering her new blog, Becoming Jennie, that we really, truly had to accept that Penny had left the adult industry for real.

Our feelings on the matter are perhaps best summed up by commenter hodayathink, who sent us the link to Penny's new blog: "I'm probably happy for her and sad for myself." It's hard for us to say goodbye to someone who gave us so much—but at the same time, we're happy to know that she's taking care of herself, and doing the things she needs to be happy and healthy.

In commemoration of her eight years of service, we'd like to look back on a few of our favorite Penny Flame moments. Join us, won't you, for a walk down memory lane:

In an age where it's not unusual for a run of the mill porn performer to have a resume including hundreds of titles, it may seem strange to think that a woman with only a few dozen titles under her belt could ever have been considered a major star. But Marilyn came from a different time—and in many ways, it was Marilyn who, with classics like "Behind the Green Door" and "Insatiable," paved the way for the starlets of today.

Though the height of her porn career took place during the 70's and 80's, Marilyn still maintained a connection with the adult industry later in her life, returning in 1998 to shoot "Still Insatiable" with VCA, as well as trying her hand at instructional videos and work on the production side of video.

We are deeply saddened by her death, we are truly grateful for the gifts that she gave the world. In memory of all that was Marilyn, we'll leave you with this clip from "Behind the Green Door."

Apparently, we weren't the only ones shocked by the sacrifice—Evan himself had to go through a lot of soul searching before he finally went through with it. Hustler, of course, recorded the momentous occasion for posterity: see the end of a hair-a in the video to the left.

Eva's first post-pregnancy porn scene was not shot for a DVD or a subscription website—no, Eva's return is showcased on Teagan Presley's AdultBluReview, where she offers up a very naughty review of skinworXXX's "Sun Goddess: Malibu," complete with a very sexy masturbation scene all of her own (see our clip at left).

From what we can tell, the absence from the industry hasn't hurt Eva one bit—if anything, it's just made us all the fonder of her sexy stylings. We're hoping that it won't be long before she gets back into doing hardcore scenes... but just knowing that she's back is enough to make our day.

Yes, Digital Playground's "Bad Girls" features Stoya's first onscreen boy-boy-girl scene, with Mick Blue and Tony De Sergio as her very lucky co-stars. It's going to take us a while to recover from the shock of this news—good thing we have a week to prepare for the DVD's release.

Only time will tell whether Sasha Grey has truly "revolutionized" porn, but even now it's obvious that she's made it a whole lot more interesting. And so we'd like to offer America's favorite fuck junkie a tip of the hat on this, her twenty-first birthday—a tip of the hat, and a hope for many, many, many more years in porn.
