Sssh.com Interviews Nick Hawk from Showtime's Gigolos

Sssh.com has featured a fun (and revealing) interview with Nick Hawk, one of the stars of Showtime's hit reality series Gigolos.

Here's the press release:

Sssh.com guest host Ashley Fires has inter- viewed actor Nick Hawk (star of Showtime's Gigolos) in a lively, candid and often hilarious one-hour video session whose topics range from how he went from being a nice boy in Wisconsin to a professional gigolo in Las Vegas to what motivates women to hire a gigolo in the first place. Hawk also talks about how the show is meant to represent a movement towards empowering women with the confidence that they get to choose who is in their bed, when and for how long.

The interview delves into Hawk's experience as one of the stars of the hit series, now in its 4th season, including a series of humorous stories about "date mishaps." One of the more memorable mishaps, Hawk said, was an episode in which one of the other gigolos set him up with a "surprise client." When he arrived at the hotel room, he was greeted by an enthusiastic woman dressed in a full length fuzzy bear suit.

"It was a joy and a thrill to hear a male gigolo's perspective on sexually empowered women, and to get a candid look behind the scenes into his profession," said Ashley Fires. "Nick was just a delight to interview and we managed to cover a whole lot of ground over the course of our hour together in a fast paced and often humorous way."

Nick Hawk commented, "It was just great doing an Ask Me Anything interview with Ashley at Sssh. She's sharp as a tack, and really nailed it with asking me good questions about being a gigolo in real life and on Showtime's hit series, Gigolos. We also had fun talking about the new Nick Hawk Gigolo Collection from California Exotic Novelties. An all-around great experience and Sssh.com can have me back anytime!"

The lively interview concludes with an interesting conversation between Ashley and Nick about his collaboration with California Exotic Novelties on the development and marketing of the Nick Hawk™ GIGOLO collection, which includes a variety of Nick Hawk Gigolo-branded pleasure products (including a blow up doll!). Ashley adds some humor to the segment by pulling out a Nick Hawk Genuine Cast Dildo (with "Moveable Balls") and at the end of a duet in which Nick sang the song "I'm Just a Gigolo" with Ashley using the dildo as a percussion instrument, managing to accidentally bonk herself in the eye with it and fall off her chair, bringing the interview to an unexpected and charming conclusion.

Susan Colvin, President and CEO of California Exotic Novelties, said, "The Nick Hawk Gigolo Collection is being introduced to the market now, so the interview on Sssh.com is perfect timing. I know the host, Ashley, discovered what a character Nick is when she interviewed him. I'm confident that fans of Nick will also have fun discovering his toy line."

According to Sssh.com Publisher Angie Rowntree, who produced the project, "Sssh.com was thrilled to have the opportunity to interview Nick Hawk from Showtime's Gigolos. Ashley is a great interviewer and Nick has a very unique perspective on a lot of topics of interest to our women viewers. The combination of these two charming and vibrant personalities created a fantastic dynamic which I am sure will be very enlightening and entertaining to everyone that sees it. I am also very happy that CalExotics participated in this fun project to showcase their excellent pleasure product line!"

The full interview will be available on Sssh.com.

DWTS Hunk William Levy (Practically) Naked

Dancing With the Stars Season 14 competitor William Levy has set the ballroom ablaze every single time he's set foot on its pristine floors. The former model / current telenovela super star is definitely set for stardom in the United States, after conquering all of Latin America.

Fans have drooled over his shirtless scenes and love scenes on the Latin soaps. And his new fans gazed at his sleeveless attire during William's debut performance on the season premiere of ABC's Dancing With the Stars. I'm sure many were undressing him with their eyes as they stared at the television screen. Well... you don't need to continue using your imagination anymore.

It seems a simple search on the interweb can lead even the most novice users to a plethora of early modeling shots of the Cuban-American "Mexican Brad Pitt" in some very skimpy undies, including a no-need-for-the-imagination black mesh undergarment. Just like the one below.

The photos are from a 2004 photo shoot with N2N Bodywear.

Steve Driver Machete-Murder/Suicide Featured on Investigation Discovery's Fatal Encounters

Steve Driver, born Stephen Clancy Hill, took his life after fatally stabbing performer and friend Herbert Wong (performer name: Tom Dong) and wounding two others with a samurai sword at the production offices of Ultima DVD in the summer of 2010 is the subject of an upcoming episode of the Investigation Discovery channel series Fatal Encounters. The episode is set to air in May 2012.

The episode will feature interviews with people who either knew or came into contact with Driver during his pursuit of porn stardom, including Ultima DVD owner Eric Jover, who had allowed Driver to live at his production studio up until Driver's behavior became unbearably erratic.

Eric Jover: "The events of that day made me realize how easily and swiftly one's mortality can be taken away by the anger of another person, and this made me more intuitive in handling all types of relationships and situations. It has shifted my focus on creating a strong, positive atmosphere with everyone on and off set, and it really has driven me to become more focused on creating mutually beneficial relationships throughout the industry that are beyond monetary value."

Also slated to appear in the episode are Christopher Rachal, the Ultima studio manager who was nearly hacked to death by Driver when he attempted to evict and fire him, Driver's heartbroken father David Hill, porn star Charley Chase, who starred opposite Driver in Robert Hill Releasing's Tea Baggin' Party, and would later comment to the media about his horrible on-set body odor and writer Mike Albo, whose piece on the events "Porn Machete Murder" was the most popular story of 2011 on LAWeekly.

Driver eluded police for three days after the attack at Ultima DVD, but was finally tracked down to a hillside bluff near the Chatsworth Nature Preserve in the San Fernando Valley. He held LAPD SWAT at bay for eight hours, while threatening to kill himself with yet another sword. When authorities finally attempted to bring Driver in with the aid of tasers and bean-bag projectiles, he leapt off the cliff to his death 50-feet below.

Basketball Wives Star Jackie Christie to Produce Adult Film

VH1's Basketball Wives: LA star Jackie Christie, wife of former NBA player Doug Christie, revealed on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show last week that she and her hubby would be producing porn.

Jackie Christie: "I'm producing an adult film, me and my husband Doug. We're executive producing and stuff."

Jackie didn't offer any further details. But, it was clear that Jackie nor Doug would be in front of the camera at all. All acting roles would be played by porn stars.

Smiley, a standup comedian and radio host, volunteered himself for a role, but warned that viewers would need a TV set bigger than 15 inches to fully appreciate his talents.

Married for more than 20 years, the Christie's strangely obsessive marriage has been in the spotlight before. In 2002, the New York Times revealed that Doug would often signal to his wife while playing and from the bench. During the course of one game, he signaled to his wife 62 times.

Jackie even made it known to team officials when Doug was playing for the Sacramento Kings that if certain female reporters were to interview Doug, she needed to be present.

Doug Christie played for eight teams during his 15-year NBA career. Known mostly as a defensive stopper, Christie was drafted 17th overall out of Pepperdine by the Seattle SuperSonics. He averaged 11.2 points and 4.1 rebounds during his career.
