Gay Porn Legend Ryan Idol Finds Himself in Jail

Overnight, every gay porn blog imaginable is a-flitter and a-flutter over the bad deed of one of the legends of gay porn: Ryan Idol. He's been convicted of attempted murder for assaulting his girlfriend with a toilet lid. Welcome to the wild world of faded pornstars!

The whole crappy (get it? toilet lid!) scene supposedly happened on September 5, 2009 in Sacramento. Besides Attempted Murder, his other three charges according to sources are Battery Against a Person, Assault with a Weapon with the Likelihood of Great Bodily Harm, and Corporal Injury on Spouse. Yikes! He's really upped the ante since his 1998 attempted suicide from jumping out of an apartment building.

Idol, now 47, had broken up with his 41-year-old girlfriend. She testified in trial that, after the break up, he knocked on her condo door while she was bathing, He told her he wanted to kill her. He said in trial that he thought she pulled a knife on him, so he pummeled her with a toilet lid out of self defense.

This can only happen to ex-pornstars, folks!

Now, the former Playgirl model and legendary actor in porn hits like "Idol Eyes," "Score 10" and "Idol Country" will be sentenced in December, but for now is spending time in jail. Looks like Idol's next turn for the cameras will be for the cable TV prison reality series "Beyond Scared Straight." Although his past ain't as straight as the rest.
