Welcome to Hot Takes, a brand-new DailyMail+ column exposing all the secrets, scandals and dirty deals behind the $100billion adult industry.
Real story behind accused killer's sex tape
Much has been said about the existence of a Luigi Mangione sex tape. Or tapes.
While the alleged CEO killer's lawyer Karen Agnifilo previously told us that any X-rated footage featuring her client is fake, I can confirm that at least one raunchy video is definitely still for sale to the highest bidder.
Whether or not the man in the video is the real Mr Mangione is unclear - but that hasn't stopped it from being shopped around.
Here's everything I know from my sources...
I hear there is a solo video doing the rounds of a man who resembles alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione (pictured in court on February 21), but questions remain as to its authenticity
A solo video of a man - who the secret seller claims is Mangione - was recently offered to a popular gay porn site for a six-figure sum.
While a number of major companies are keen on acquiring the jaw-dropping footage, there's one major thing stopping them: revenge porn laws.
The clip in question is a personal video most likely never recorded for public consumption, so anybody who shares it could open themselves up to serious legal consequences.
'Plenty of porn companies would kill for the Luigi tape because of the mainstream exposure it will get them,' a well-placed insider tells me.
'But legally it could completely backfire and do more harm than good to whoever distributes it, so there's a lot of hesitation for that reason.'
And while Luigi has plead not guilty to murdering UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson, there's also a concern from some potential buyers that publishing a sex tape from an accused killer may be in bad taste.
Despite this, my insider says a few companies are trying to figure out ways to get around any potential legal issues and publish it.
But for the moment, no deal has been done.
Fears for missing porn star Jenni Lee
At the peak of her career in the mid-2000s, Jenni Lee - real name Stephanie Sadorra - was one of the biggest stars in adult entertainment
Jenni hasn't been seen since 2019, when she was found homeless and living underneath a bridge in Las Vegas
The last time anybody saw Jenni Lee, she was homeless and living under a bridge in Las Vegas.
With dirty fingernails and a mouthful of twisted teeth, she was completely unrecognizable from her days as one of the adult industry's most popular stars.
At the peak of her career in the mid-2000s, the leggy brunette with a voracious sexual appetite - real name Stephanie Sadorra - was beloved by fans.
She was even nominated for an Adult Video News Award, a.k.a. the 'Oscars of porn'.
But in 2019 when a Dutch film crew tracked down Jenni, now homeless and a shadow of her former self, she said: 'I used to be so hot... but I'm happy.'
Living in squalor with a street boyfriend, no water and battling drug addiction, Jenni still insisted her life 'was not as difficult as you might think'.
Determined to find out her whereabouts since that interview aired, Hot Takes reached out to a number of industry insiders to see if they'd heard from Jenni - to no avail.
'Nobody knows anything,' says one source. 'Not in Vegas, not in Los Angeles. It's like she vanished into thin air.'
Another said, 'It's not looking good. You're last seen living under a bridge, doing drugs, and then nobody hears from you for years. Not to be a downer, but we're all assuming the worst.'
'She was a lovely girl, so hopefully she's doing okay somewhere.'
Claws out for new industry magazine
Adult film director and photographer Holly Randall is ruffling feathers with her new adult lifestyle magazine XSIV.
Touted as 'Vanity Fair for the OnlyFans generation' and a potential competitor to the newly revamped Playboy magazine, Randall launched the publication with a star-studded party in Los Angeles last month featuring a Who's Who of the porn biz.
Expectations are high for XSIV given Randall's standing in the industry.
Not only is she an AVN Hall of Famer and the host of one of porn's most influential podcasts, her mother is the legendary Playboy photographer Suze Randall.

While most of the guests were on their best behavior at Randall's big night, one of the suits from a rival porn company had their claws out for her new mag.
'People in the industry are usually very supportive of each other, so it was shocking to see somebody cause a scene like this,' one partygoer tells me.
'Holly's practically porn royalty, so I guess a few people are feeling insecure now that she's launched her own magazine.'
Hot Takes understands that the offending guest was eventually given their marching orders before the party continued into the night.
