“Europe’s Next Gay Porn Star” Seeks Europe’s Next Gay Porn Star (And Some Credibility)

A practically un-Googleable European outfit called Ganesha Productions is on the lookout for Europe's next gay porn star, and auditions are allegedly being held as we speak in locales across the pond, with a lineup of judges that includes porn luminaries Jesse Santana, Francesco D'Macho, Damien Crosse, Johan Paulik (whose bio is curiously frozen in 2004, when he turned 29), George Duroy, and some guy called "Bio to Follow". (Nowhere, however, do we see Miss J. Alexander, Janice Dickinson, or Noted Fashion Photographer Nigel Barker, which is one of several things about the proceedings that makes us raise a well-tweezed eyebrow or two.)

Elesewhere on the half-empty website, we're told that prizes include a one-year contract with Bel Ami, a four-page spread in QXMen magazine, and a holiday for two in Provincetown at the Boatslip, presumably with VIP access to the Dick Dock. But the best comes in the site's advice to applicants: "Be clean – inside and out!" Now just pause for a moment and imagine those words coming from Tyra's lips--you know, right after she reminds you to smile with your eyes. Stellar advice and star-studded judging panel notwithstanding, the whole thing feels kinda incomplete and shady to us. Which of course makes us wonder: is this for real?
