· The LA Times discovers altporn and the ouevre of Fleshbot fave Eon McKai: "Now discerning hipsters have their very own brand of porn, made by one of their own." Hey, we could've told them that a long time ago. (latimes.com, registration required)

· Meanwhile, Fleshbot contributor and "Naked Ambition" editrix Carly Milne rounds up three of the leading ladies of porn for a dinner party with a writer for the Chicago Tribune ... and we get really jealous. (chicagotribune.com)

· Playboy's PG-13 content aside, we're utterly perplexed how the Toronto Globe and Mail got the idea that "the (adult) industry seems somewhat reluctant to jump on the technology" of iPod video porn; seems like every other porn site we come across these days is offering content in .m4v format. Maybe the reporter wasn't looking hard enough? (theglobeandmail.com)

· We told you they were filthy-minded: MSNBC has placed ads on over 800 blogs (though not on Fleshbot, alas) to shill its upcoming porn documentary—which we'd be happy to tell you more about if their site didn't have such Macintosh-hostile display requirements. (webpronews.com + msnbc.msn.com)

· AVN Online reports on the death of popular web model (and recent Podnography interview subject) Jasmine Grey, who was killed in a car accident in Ohio this weekend—and who leaves behind many fond memories. (avnonline.com, via SugarBank)

· Does Simon Cowell really have the hots for extensively siliconed porn starlet Tabitha Stevens? We'd speculate further, but we're still really creeped out after listening to those voicemails. (wwtdd.com - thanks T.)

· The New York Times features the .XXX "porn suffix" in its annual Year in Ideas issue; no mention of the fact that the plan was officially scrapped by the powers that be two weeks ago, but at least they're trying. (nytimes.com, registration required)
