My run in with Chris Hardwick

Last week I was a guest on the Greg Fitzsimmons radio show, and podcast with Chris Hardwick. I first met Greg when he was the host of the AVN awards show a few years ago. He is always very pleasant and funny and I think he has been the best comedian to host the show in the past few years that I have gone.

It’s Stormy Leather, Jessie Lee, ME!, Brian Street Team, Misti Dawn, Nate Liquor, Sparky, Cadence St John, on the red carpet for the AVN awards show.We take these red carpet things very seriously.

UGGGGGGH now where do I even begin? This seems to happen every year–from my birthday to the middle of January just flies by. I barely get enough time to get excited about my birthday,  or New Years… and the AEE expo comes and goes, and then I get sick for a few days… and then I want to do nothing but sleep for a few days and then life starts over again. Hmm. What can I say about AEE? I don’t really know. It was great meeting all you fans who came out. For the first time at this convention I really felt like part of this “game”and not just like a girl playing dress-up. Unfortunately, I don’t have any exciting stories to tell you. I woke up every morning at 7am, got my makeup done, did interviews, signed autographs for a while, then went to some kind of business dinner and did some kind of appearance/party at night. I didn’t get drunk and black out, I didn’t accidentally get married, I didn’t get mixed up with any kind of mafia scandal, and I didn’t win or lose any money at all. This Vegas trip was nothing like the Hangover or Oceans 11. Maybe next time.

I feature danced my first night in Vegas at The Velvet Lion, and Vinne Paul from Pantera was there! Back when I was a full-time stripper I used to dance to Pantera’s “Walk” all the time. Seeing him there made me feel like everything was coming full circle–Pantera used to get me in the mood to show my boobs, and now I was showing Pantera my boobs. Crazy. Too bad I did not get to show Dimebag Darrell my body parts before he passed away. I am determined one day to put one of my pornos on his grave.

Well here is me, Vinnie Paul, and his assistant whose name I can not remember.

I only found a few photos of myself from the actual AEE convention- some nice people on twitter gave me some!

here is me and @TAYSTEVENS

and here is me and @seandps

and here is me and @brianstreetteam in front of a very large photo of my butt. I think my over-sized ass pic is making Brian Street Team a little uncomfortable- while it is making me extremely overjoyed!!!

We had a party at the Playboy Club at the Palms Casino and that was quite interesting. The wall of the club had photos of Playboy models everywhere–and they mixed in photos of me and the BurningAngel girls that night. It was quite funny to see photos of ourselves amongst Holly Madison and Kendra um… whatever the hell her last name is from the Girls Next Door. DJ Jess came out and DJ-ed the party so the music made me feel right at home–no fist-pumping douchey club music. The crowd was kinda odd–a mixture of some BA fans, and uh…. a few Senators. No- a Senator is not a cool new hipster term for someone with a certain kind of hat or mustache- I am actually talking about people who work at the Senate. I’m not sure what states they were from but they were very keen on flirting with Jane all night. All this fun came to a sad end when DJ Jess took a photo of Jane’s nipple and

she got thrown out of the club. She actually got thrown out of the hotel, not just the club! A few years ago in Vegas I remember getting kicked out of the lobby of the Venetian because I was wearing a hoodie that said “Fuck Off” on the back. Sometimes people (those people

include me) forget that Vegas is inside of Nevada–a very red state where people do not believe in curses–or nipples. So yeah, if you go to the Playboy Club in Las Vegas and get all riled up and want to show the world your nipple, think twice! Go to the bathroom and flash yourself in the mirror to get your rocks off. As far as I know–I think that is still allowed.

Here are a few photos from the party before all that nonsense happened:

Here is Jane right before she got kicked out!! How sad. She was having fun!

This photo was not from the BurningAngel party it was from a different party from a different night. It is a photo of me and the best new starlett Kagney Lynn Carter. Appearance wise she is the complete opposite of a BurningAngel girl but she is totally adorable and I wasn’t quite sure where else to put this photo.

And then there was the actual awards show.Before I begin my story- here are a few photos of me and James Deen and the girls getting into the limo to go to the show. Sorry if you don’t think limos are punk. I don’t know how else to get 10 people to travel together in Vegas.

Well, to start off, I wore the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn to the show. Now, I wear uncomfortable shoes quite often, but these were far worse than any other pair of uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. I blame my funny faces on the red carpet on those shoes. After I was done walking the carpet, well, I sat down… simply because that was all I could do. Several people asked me to go to the bar with them and grab a drink and I politely refused because I was completely unable to move from the chair I was at. I was honestly worried I wouldn’t be able to walk across the casino to go to the actual awards show once it opened. Yes–they were that bad!! So I explained my problem to Cadence, and she told me to take some chewing gum and stick it in the shoes. I was pretty desperate and did have a whole pack of gum in my bag so I immediately took some out and began sticking it in my shoes- in front of the entire porno industry. I must have stuck about 30 pieces of gum inside each shoe- and well- it totally worked! I felt very odd… I mean, throughout the night I basically felt like what it feels like to be barefoot and step on freshly spit out gum on the street but, that was a lot better than feeling like someone was hitting your toes with a hammer all night. I would like to take this time to thank Cadence for that tip, and I would like to thank Trident gum for being there when I needed someone. Now the insides of those shoes kinda look like

the bottom of a high school desk, but whatever. It was worth it.

Here are a few photos from the red carpet:

Me and Dave Attel- he hosted the show this year. He talked about me on Howard Stern once and referred to me as “that Jewish chick- Angel Jones.” I was in the middle of telling him this and then someone snapped a photo- hence why it looks a little awkward.

Here is the cutest couple in porno- me and James Deen

I have the best girls ever.

Here are all the fans who were ogling the red carpet. Hellooooo fans!

Here is the sexy version of the BurningAngel girls on the red carpet. It’s all the same girls and boys who were listed above- with the addition of CoCo Velvett (to the right of Sparky) and… unfortunately I don’t know the name of the girl in between CoCo and Cadence. I think she was one of CoCo’s friends. But she sure was hot so I am glad she was in this photo!

and here I am- you can’t see the uncomfortable shoes but they are there!

Aside from that, well, I lost all my awards. It kinda sucked. I was pretty sure we would win something this year considering that we were nominated for 18 awards…. but we did not win anything. To make it even worse, for some reason AVN decides to only announce 5 out of the 15 nominees at the show before announcing the winner (and they show short clips from these five movies), and we were not mentioned for any award except for the “web starlet of the year” award. It was annoying! It almost felt like we weren’t nominated at all. The evening basically consisted of AVN showing clips from the same 5 movies all night for every category and it was a little ridiculous. I know we made some great movies last year and I am very proud of them. I am not leaving porn any time soon so I have plenty of time left in my career to win awards. As long as you guys like my movies that is really all that matters.

A little over a year ago an all-boys religious Jewish college requested to have me on their college radio show. It was kind of scandalous–I had to sneak into the building because females are not allowed in there. Later in the year they sent me an award in the mail for “Best Guest.” I just got a text message from one of their hosts and he told me they are re-naming the “Best Guest” award the “Joanna Angel Award of Excellence”, because apparently no guest can ever hold a candle to me. So whoever wins it every year will basically be second place to me. I think they give this award out later in the year and I volunteered to call into the show and announce the winner. I have no idea how to listen to this show or where it can be accessed. I’m pretty sure that just the people in the school can listen to it.  So whatever–AVN may not love me, but there are like 18 boys at YeshivaUniversity who truly know how to spot talent when they see it!!

Thank you again to all the fans who trekked out to Vegas and paid the overpriced entrance fee to the convention just to see me. (picture some violins playing and shit) You all make me feel like I am winning an award every day!!!

Here are a few random photos from the awards. My camera ran out of batteries right after I got there but I managed to take a few pictures.

Here is me and Jenna Haze!

Me, Belladonna, and Bobbi Star

Me and Kristina Rose

Me and Sunny Leone

and that’s it.

Joanna Angel

Joanna Angel’s LA Pink

I still need to blog about my big adult film that will be coming out in September- LA PINK Starring Joanna Angel =) but I don’t really feel like doing that just yet. Maybe as the next blog entry I will do that. No it’s not that I just don’t feel like it- there are some things I need to gather together that I haven’t gotten together yet- that’s it. HOWEVER- there is a whole set of “behind the scenes” photos from the movie on JoannaAngel.com right now. Here is one of them.

LA Pink Photos

Well I was going to give this its own entry but – here is a little ad for the movie- cut and paste it and put it everywhere!

Here is the URL so you can put it on your MySpace

Oh, and I Love Cous Cous

So then I was thinking – what the hell should I blog about? What I really wanted to blog about was how much I love couscous. I eat it almost every night

for dinner with some vegetable mixed in it. I always make a whole pot and then tell myself I will save more for the next day- BUT I NEVER DO!! I ALWAYS EAT THE WHOLE GOD DAMN THING!

I will be honest- I would rather eat couscous than ice cream or chocolate. Is that lame? Sometimes I mix the couscous with asparagus- sometimes I mix it with broccoli (that’s what I did tonight) – and sometimes- now this is my favorite- I mix it with mushrooms. The mushrooms and the couscous really go quite well together.

But then I thought about how this might be kind of boring. I was like, I can’t blog about couscous! That is incredibly lame. Yet- here I am blogging about couscous anyways. I thought about blogging about how sad it is the Michael Jackson died, but I am sure that has been blogged about enough. I don’t know what to say other than it sucks that he died- and it sucks even more that he has really been dying for the past 15 years. It’s a sad story really. I hope he is happier where ever he is.

OK – I Love Twitter

I posted on My Twitter “what should I blog about” and I got a series of requests that seemed pretty uninteresting but I figured that anything is more interesting than couscous and Michael Jackson right now. So here it is:

@JoannaAngel Any new ladies to the scene we should hear from soon? from @sdpunk52

Yeah Phoenix Askani is Fucking Hot

Follow Phoenix Askani on Twitter @PhoenixAskani
Lesbian Sex Virgin Phoenix Askani had her girl-girl cherry popped by me, Joanna Angel!
Join my site to be the FIRST to see.

Well actually- yes! There is a brand new porn girl who will be on BurningAngel very soon named Phoenix Askani (I hope I spelled that correctly). She was actually a BurningAngel.com member for a while which is pretty awesome. She recently came out here and shot some porn movies- some with guys and one with meeeeee! She had never been with a girl before me. I don’t mean to brag but I totally rocked her world. Do people still say that? I don’t really know. She shook and moaned a lot and it was pretty cool. I always like fucking girls who have never had lesbian sex- I think it’s a lot of fun. I can totally see why so many gay dudes I know like to bang straight dudes. I don’t know when the scene with me and her will go up on the web but the scene she did with Kris Slater will be up on BurningAngel soon.

@JoannaAngel how to fuck for world peace, right in your bedroom from @ianultra

I Love to Fuck in my Bedroom

I fuck a lot in my bedroom, my dining room, my closet, my bathroom and my kitchen- and I don’t have any idea how to make any of that lead to world peace. I just know how to film it and put it on the internet for people to get boners to. SORRY =(

(This is my bedroom- do you like it!!!)

@JoannaAngel what got you into punk? from @stin

Oh JEEZE. Well I don’t really remember why or how but I think in the 6th grade I started listening to bands like Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and Nine Inch Nails uh… Marilyn Manson… you know… stuff like that. I searched for any kind of music that was angry or weird sounding. I mean, I guess I was “punk” then I just wasn’t sure what it was, what it meant and where uh “punk” people went and congregated. Then when I was in the 10th some dude who was a friend of a friend that I had a slight crush on brought me to a punk-rock show at someone’s house in Northern New Jersey. The Casualties were playing- along with some other small local New Jersey bands. It was nuts- people with mohawks everywhere were jumping up and down and yelling and screaming in leather jackets with spikes on them and stuff. I wound up having a bigger crush on punk rock in general than the dude I went to the show with. That year I got all my first punk records and blah blah blah. I guess it is history from there.

@JoannaAngel alternatively: creampie eating and why it’s not gay? Discuss. from @notwoodyallen

Um. The only guy I ever knew who was into cream-pie eating was Kurt Lockwood- who is a full time gay porn star now. There might be other guys out there who eat their own jizz out of girls’ pussies who are not gay- but I have not met one yet.

@JoannaAngel talk about the state of the economy? @thebelltolls

It fucking sucks and I hope it gets better. And neither porn, escorting or stripping are recession proof…. although- I think reality TV is. If you are hell-bent on pitching around an idea for a reality TV show that by the off chance hasn’t been done yet then there is hope for you.

@JoannaAngel chinese food and/or the electoral college from @gimmegrits

I’ll be honest- I don’t really like Chinese food THAT much. It always smells good but then once you start eating it you are like- blaaaah. The only Chinese food I really like are steamed dumplings. I am not just saying that because I am a bit of a health nut- but the steamed dumplings genuinely taste much better than the fried ones. I once got a bunch of frozen dumplings from Trader Joes and attempted to steam them at home and they didn’t taste anywhere close to as good as what they taste like in the Chinese restaurants. I would have to say that in the future I will not be purchasing any more frozen dumplings. When I want some, I will just go to any Chinese food place and get them- but why would I even do that when I could just stay home and eat couscous? After Bush won the election for the second time- I had very strong feelings of hatred towards the electoral college. I went on long diatribes about how unfair it was, and how inefficient it was and blah blah blah- but you know, after the last election I don’t think it’s so bad anymore. Sometimes the electoral college can surprise you and do some cool things sometimes. I mean, I honestly can’t think of a better way to tally up all those votes so until I do I will just keep my mouth shut.

Well – that’s it! If you liked this I will turn it into a weekly thing and answer peoples questions on twitter like, on the regular. Maybe it is a nice healthy way to intertwine my blog life and my twitter life- or something.

Well, have a good night,
Joanna
