Lisa Ann's list of presidents she'd sleep with starts with Bill Clinton. She doesn't find him attractive. She picks him because she made more money in the stock market under him than ever before, and that kind of money is what gets her undressed. Second is JFK Jr., because who wouldn't, even though he was never president. Third, after a long pause, she says she'll just have to say it: Obama. When Vlad asks if she'd really go there, she says she already did, in Obama Is Nailin' Palin, with a lookalike named Guy DiSilva. She also talks about what the Palin role did to her life. Before it she lived a double life, going out dressed down with friends while almost nobody recognized her. Afterward people wanted photos everywhere she went and took pictures of her while she ate, so now she can't leave the house without brushing her hair and putting on makeup. She's glad it happened in her thirties, because a young girl could have found it scary. Asked who did the better Sarah Palin, her or Tina Fey, she says Fey is better at everything, calls her an idol, and knows her birthday by heart. She had already quit porn once, in 1997, over an AIDS scare in the industry, then spent seven years stripping and owned a day spa before coming back. Right after the 2008 Republican convention, Larry Flynt's producers posted an anonymous Craigslist ad in Los Angeles looking for a Palin look-alike for an adult film to shoot within 10 days, for $3,000. Lisa Ann got the part and had four days to prepare. She studied Palin's debate against Joe Biden and Tina Fey's SNL version, bought Palin-style outfits at Macy's, and altered them herself. Filming started October 11 and took two days. The movie opens with two Russian soldiers at Serra Paylin's door asking for a tow truck for their smoking tank, and it goes where you'd expect. Nina Hartley played Hillary, Jada Fire played Condi, and the two of them had a threesome with her. Two days after filming started, Megyn Kelly called the movie filthy on Fox and questioned whether it was even legal, and Fox ended up concluding it was. Lisa Ann said some crazy right-wing activist might try to burn her house down, and she accepted the risk. On November 1 the comedy duo Masked Avengers prank called the real Sarah Palin pretending to be French president Sarkozy and told her he'd enjoyed Hustler's documentary on her life, Who's Nailin' Paylin? Palin thanked him. Hustler put the Obama scene on its members-only site on election eve, and the movie itself came out on Election Day. It won Marketing Campaign of the Year at the XBIZ Awards and Clever Title of the Year at the AVN Awards, and Lisa Ann was nominated for Best Actress. The full Obama Is Nailin' Palin video followed in January 2009, and IMDb notes Flynt padded it with five old scenes from his Take It Black series around the one new Obama scene. Hustler even made a Halloween mask of her as Palin. In 2008 she told Marie Claire she was pro-Obama, mostly because she was against Palin. Later she told the Las Vegas Weekly she was a fan of the real Palin, since Palin made her famous, but wouldn't necessarily vote for her. In 2012 she took her Palin act to Tampa during the Republican convention to strip for conservative delegates, dancing to Eminem's We Made You while the video, with her in it as Palin, played on the club's Jumbotron. Is Lisa Ann's president list a joke about money and fame, or the most honest thing a porn star has said about politics?

TK Kirkland swears Terry Crews would never cheat on his wife. Back when Crews was living in Pasadena with nothing, TK says the two of them were extremely close and he used to help Crews with his mortgage. Crews paid him back. TK calls him the greatest person on the planet and says the way Crews loved his wife seemed corny to him, though he respected it. When the host brought up the story of Crews watching porn for 13 hours straight, TK mentioned he'd commented under that video that a side chick would have fixed it. Then he turned around and said Terry isn't that guy, that he'd rather watch porn for 13 hours than cheat. Crews tells it differently. He says the addiction started when he was a kid, and it ended with him in rehab. His wife Rebecca, married to him since 1990, told him to get out and never come home. On Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, Crews said he used to tell himself the porn wasn't making him cheat, until it caught up with him and he did. Rebecca took him back after rehab, and the two of them later did a 90-day sex fast. TK also had advice for women. A woman on his podcast once said she was leaving her boyfriend over porn, and TK told her she was crazy. To keep your man, he says, you accept everything he likes and you don't get loud, aggressive or bossy, because being passive is a woman's superpower. Women want equality until the check comes, and he'd never date a woman who says bro. He knows he'll be called sexist for this. He's also said he doesn't trust women with less than $25,000 in the bank. TK is a comedian from Jersey City who had one of the main roles in Vin Diesel's 1997 film Strays. On Club Shay Shay he told Shannon Sharpe that he got in legal trouble for robbing Diddy in 1998. He already had a felony on his record, by his account, and he stalled for about three months while the FBI looked for him, then backed out of a plea deal that meant four to six years and spent about 30 days on Rikers Island. On Drink Champs he talked about stealing Charlie Murphy's Rolex, and about walking up to Eddie Murphy years later to apologize. The man who once robbed Diddy is now telling women how to keep a man, and the friend he vouched for ended up admitting he cheated. Is TK Kirkland the realest voice on relationships, or the last person anyone should take advice from?

Pinky's father is in prison and watches porn in there, and she says he fast-forwards through her scenes to get to the other girls in the same movie. She calls it embarrassing and then laughs it off. He went in when she was about 17, and by her count he has around four years left, maybe less. From his cell he told her he loves her and doesn't mind, as long as she protects herself and nobody is forcing her. Her mother took it much worse. As a kid Pinky was the one everyone expected to make it. She played violin, danced ballet and won a scholarship to a special high school in Minnesota, and when she graduated with a pile of awards, college looked like a sure thing. At 17 her mom found her stripper heels and worked out where she was going at night. Pinky says her mother body-slammed her to the floor and choked her, and only let go when Pinky's boyfriend made like he was going to hit her. Then she threw her out of the house. Her mom had always said she'd rather hear bad news from her daughter than from someone in the street, so Pinky told her about porn before she did it. Her mom put her hands over her ears and kept saying she didn't want to hear it. For years she told herself her daughter was only doing photo shoots, until Pinky's face started turning up in magazines. Now it's all my baby, my baby, especially since Pinky started rapping, though the explicit tracks still make things awkward. She started out selling her own DVDs inside the strip club and running her own website before she moved on to bigger studios. Since 2006 she has made more than 100 films. In 2009 the Urban X Awards named her Porn Star of the Year, and she later started her own label, Team Pinky. At one point she told VladTV she'd only shoot scenes with condoms from then on. When she got kind of engaged, it was to a fan with a regular job outside the industry. Before saying yes, she had told her suitors it was a competition and the best man would win. Mystikal got out after six years for sexual battery and named Pinky as his first pick for a porn debut. She told TMZ she was flattered and would shoot him for her site, and added that he looked better coming out than going in. She wasn't going to pay him, though, because in porn he's an amateur no matter how good he is in bed. Her mom choked her over a pair of stripper heels, and her dad skips her scenes from a cell. Did Pinky's family push her into this life, or did she just outgrow them?

n 2006 a porn company sponsored a hole at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. Wicked Pictures had a table and a gift room, and its contract girls handed out water to the golfers. One of those golfers was Donald Trump. The owner introduced the girls, and Trump zeroed in on Stormy Daniels. According to her, another contract girl, Jessica Drake, threw herself at him so hard it was embarrassing, and Trump wanted nothing to do with her. Stormy wanted nothing to do with Trump either, and she doesn't even like golf. The next day he came through the gift room, posed for photos and talked to her again. As he walked away, his bodyguard came back, said Mr. Trump wanted to have dinner with her, and left his number in case she changed her mind. She went. In 2024 she described that night under oath to a Manhattan jury. He opened the door of his penthouse suite in silk pajamas, and she asked whether Hugh Hefner knew he'd stolen them, then made him go change. He quizzed her about the porn business: unions, residuals, health insurance, STDs. When he got rude, she rolled up a magazine with his face on the cover and spanked him with it, and after that, she said, he was much more polite. He told her he and Melania didn't even sleep in the same room, and that she reminded him of his daughter. Then, she testified, they had sex without a condom. At the defense table Trump appeared to mouth the word bullshit, and the judge told her to cut the unnecessary detail. Ten years after the tournament, Jessica Drake held a press conference with Gloria Allred. She said Trump grabbed and kissed her and two other women there without asking, then called her to ask what she wanted and how much, offering $10,000 and his private jet to get her to his suite. His campaign called it false and ridiculous. Trump also denies ever sleeping with Stormy. Days before the 2016 election, his lawyer Michael Cohen paid Stormy $130,000 to stay quiet. In May 2024 a jury convicted Trump on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide that payment. The judge gave him an unconditional discharge, meaning no jail, no fine and no probation, and he became the first convicted felon to take office as president. Her own lawyer, Michael Avenatti, stole about $300,000 of her $800,000 book advance and went to prison for it. At his trial he went after her credibility by asking whether the dead talk to her. She said yes, and so does Susan, the haunted doll from her ghost hunting show Spooky Babes. A defamation suit she filed against Trump was thrown out, and courts ordered her to pay him more than $600,000 in legal fees. She has said she would go to jail before paying him a penny. She was born Stephanie Clifford in Baton Rouge in 1979. In 2009 she formed an exploratory committee to run for the US Senate in Louisiana as a conservative Republican, against a senator caught up in the DC Madam prostitution scandal, then dropped out. Her first scene with a man on camera was with her own director and boyfriend. She once spanked a future president with a magazine that had his face on it, and less than twenty years later he became the first convicted felon in the White House. Did Stormy Daniels get played, or did she play the most powerful man in the world?

Lana Rhoades breaks down crying in the middle of her own podcast. She and her co-hosts are talking about the kind of porn where men urinate inside women and force themselves down their throats. Her friends tell her not to cry, and she says she can't help it. She wipes her face and keeps going, because she wants people to know what actually gets filmed. She describes one scene where the girl was really sobbing. The guy was too big for her and too rough, and he kept slapping her and asking if she liked it. Lana says you could see in the girl's eyes that she didn't want to be there, and that she was probably doing it for the money, or because an agent told her it was this or nothing. Lana has friends who were choked on set until they passed out. She has seen scenes shot in Europe where men punched their fists into a girl's ass, and she believes those women will live with the damage for the rest of their lives. She considers herself lucky that she got out without any. Her co-hosts take it further. One says boys who learn about porn in sex ed grow up less likely to see women as objects. Another claims that investigators find exactly this kind of porn in the search histories of serial killers and rapists. All of them admit they still watch porn. They just want it to be ethical. Lana knows this world from the inside. At 16 she was in juvenile detention after her boyfriend was caught robbing houses, and she got her GED behind bars. At 19 she shot her first scene, and eight months later she was out of the industry. Her first agent wouldn't let her see a doctor when she got hurt on the job. She signed away the rights to every scene, which is why all of them are still online, with 345 million views and nothing going to her. For three years straight she was the most searched name on Pornhub. In January 2022, two weeks after her son Milo was born, she told her 16.8 million Instagram followers that she had dropped 35 pounds and launched an NFT collection. CryptoSis was 6,069 cartoon versions of herself, and it raised about $1.8 million. Within weeks, according to YouTube investigator Coffeezilla, around $1.5 million in ethereum had been moved out of the project, and NFTs that once sold for about $1,500 had fallen to roughly $15. When people called it a rug pull, she called the YouTubers sickos, said she had never scammed anyone and didn't need to, and deleted her Twitter. Milo's father is reportedly an NBA player she has never named. Today she calls herself asexual and says the whole porn industry should be illegal. The most searched woman in porn history cried over what the industry does to women, and her own fans accused her of walking away with their money. Is Lana Rhoades the industry's biggest victim, or one of its best students?

According to Abella Danger, you aren't a porn star until you've done anal. Plenty of women have filmed themselves having sex for money, and she doesn't count that. She earned the title with twelve hours on set and 35 guys. So when a girl posts one OnlyFans video and starts calling herself a porn star, Abella's answer is "f*ck you." She was 25 when she said this on KFC Radio. One of the hosts brought up Mia Khalifa, who by Abella's rule was never a porn star at all, and Abella told them not to get her started before going off anyway. What bothers her is that Mia hated being associated with porn and still kept making money off it. "Why do you still use your porn name? Why do you still profit off my years?" If Abella hated it that much, she says, she would change her name and her look, get face surgery, delete her socials and go work at McDonald's. "Have a normal job." The two of them clashed on Twitter. A host remembers her backing off quickly afterward and saying she was embarrassed, and he calls that classy. She says she just doesn't like arguing with people. What made it personal, she explains, is that the industry keeps trying to stop people from treating performers like the scum of the earth, and every time Mia talks, that progress goes backward. She thinks OnlyFans will be what finally changes minds, because one day your best friend will be on it and you'll still love her. "Hopefully I get to see it in my lifetime." She was born in Miami and trained in ballet from the age of three. At 18 she shot her first scene for Bang Bros. By 2023 she had been viewed 1.89 billion times on Pornhub, more than any other performer on the site. Then she quit porn and enrolled at the University of Miami to study philosophy. In January 2026 ESPN cameras caught her in the stands at the College Football Playoff National Championship, and the clip went viral. She apologized for the attention. The woman who told Mia Khalifa to change her name and get a normal job ended up quitting porn herself and going to college under the name that made her famous. Was Abella Danger defending the industry from a hypocrite, or describing her own exit a few years before she took it?

Asked where the strangest place she ever had sex was, Cory Chase described a pitch-black electrical room inside an Army barracks. On the water pipes. No light. Dusty. She couldn't turn on the lights or didn't want to. She was in the Army National Guard at the time. She hadn't filmed a single scene yet. Her real name is Audrey Wirtzberger. Born in New Jersey in 1981. After the Army she worked as a paramedic for a private ambulance company. In 2005 she married a man named Robert Leon, who performs under the stage name Luke Longly. They started uploading amateur porn together to a site called Southern Charms. By 2007 they were shooting for Reality Kings. By 2009 they had quit every other job. She was 28 when she filmed her first scene. Most women in the industry start before 22. The genre that made her famous is called fauxcest. Stepmom scenes. In real life she is an actual stepmom. Robert Leon has a daughter named Katie. Cory helped raise her. The most popular category on Pornhub in 2024 was MILF. Cory Chase has been in the top 25 most searched performers on the planet every year since at least 2020. In this interview she is sitting in a red dress answering rapid-fire questions from a host who was not ready for what he was about to hear. The first question is about her ultimate celebrity fantasy. She says she doesn't want to sleep with a celebrity. She wants to sleep with a character a celebrity would play. The answer is Deadpool. She has already filmed it. She played the female version of Deadpool in a scene she produced herself. Then comes the question about whether she would rather never have sex again or never eat her favorite food again. The woman who has been one of the most searched porn performers on earth for five years picks food. Steak. Rare. Bloody. Top three tips for pleasuring a woman: communication, communication, and communication. Because everyone is different. Has she ever faked an orgasm. Obviously. She has done forced orgasm content and after a while it just goes numb. But she also says she always finishes on set. She does not allow herself to be in denial about it. When the host brings up the washing machine question she immediately starts talking about camera angles and production logistics. He laughs and says you're instantly thinking production. She mentions vore, a fetish about being consumed, references Pee-wee Herman being swallowed by a couch, and casually adds that she has been swallowed by couches, mattresses, and closets. She is 45 years old. Type 1 diabetic. Married to the same man for twenty-one years. Runs a multimillion-dollar production company with her husband out of their house. Her estimated net worth is between three and eight million dollars. She used to save people's lives for a living. Now she earns more in a month than most paramedics make in two years. The woman who had sex on water pipes in a dark electrical room in the Army is now sitting in front of a camera in a dress, calmly explaining that she has already been Deadpool, that she would rather eat a bloody steak than have sex, and that her three tips for pleasuring a woman are the same word repeated three times. Is this the most self-aware woman in the adult industry, or just the only one whose interview answers are more interesting than her scenes?

At 12 years old, a shy girl in Palm Springs was already watching pornography. At 16 she was making fries at McDonald's and waiting tables at Sizzler. At 19 her school friend Natasha Malkova, someone she had known since second grade, introduced her to the adult film industry. Within two years she was one of the most searched performers on the planet. Her real name is Melissa Ann Hevner. She has German, Irish, and French-Canadian roots. She has three brothers. One of them, Justin Hunt, followed her into the same industry. In 2014 she won the AVN Award for Best New Starlet. In 2017 she won the XBIZ Award for Best Actress. In October 2016 Penthouse named her Pet of the Month. She has appeared in over 300 films. She has said that she entered the industry because she loves sex and considers it the safest place to explore it in all its forms. She married a British porn actor named Danny Mountain in 2014. The marriage lasted four years. In January 2018 she posted: "Danny Mountain and I have been separated for a month now. We are not getting back together and that is all I will say about it." After the divorce she bought a castle in Portland, Oregon for four million dollars. She lives there now. Alone. That same year Indian filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma cast her in a short film called God, Sex and Truth. She delivered a monologue about female sexuality, patriarchy, and God. Women's groups in India burned Varma's effigy. He was booked for obscenity by Hyderabad police. He compared the film's release to Padmaavat and later denied directing it when questioned by investigators. She stopped shooting porn in 2021. She is now a content creator and Twitch streamer. She co-hosted the AVN Awards in January 2022. She is 34 years old. She is an atheist. She dates a TikTok wellness influencer who calls himself IceBathKing. A McDonald's employee at 16. A porn star at 19. A Penthouse centerfold at 24. A castle owner at 26. A Twitch streamer at 30. The same girl from Palm Springs whose brother works in the same industry she does, whose childhood friend recruited her into it, and whose ex-husband was her coworker. Is Mia Malkova someone who built a life most people couldn't handle, or is she proof that the industry doesn't let you leave even after you stop filming?

Mia Malkova's real name is Melissa Ann Hevner. A school friend got her into porn at 19. Her brother followed her into the same industry. She married a co-star, divorced him, bought a $4 million castle, and became one of the highest-paid creators on the internet. She has never said she regrets it. Most people have no idea what to do with that. She grew up in Palm Springs, California. Before any of this she was waiting tables. A childhood friend named Natasha Malkova was already in the business and told her she should try it. Mia took her friend's last name as her stage name and shot her first scene at 19. Within two years she won Best New Starlet at the AVN Awards. Penthouse named her Pet of the Month. She won Best Actress. By her mid-twenties she was one of the most recognized performers in the industry. In 2014 she married British porn actor Danny Mountain. They worked together, lived together, built a life inside the industry. In January 2018 she posted one sentence on Twitter: we are separated, we will not be getting back together, and that is all I will say about it. She never said another word about it. After the divorce she bought the Blackberry Castle in Portland, Oregon. A 13,000 square foot mansion on six acres with a vineyard, a two-story library, a home theatre, a spa, and a climbing wall. She paid $4 million. She told her fans she planned to film content and throw parties inside it. Her brother Justin Hunt works in the same industry. A friend got her in. Her brother followed. Nobody forced anyone. In 2018 she sat down for an interview and said she got into porn because she loves sex and the industry is the safest place to explore it. She left studio porn in 2021 but never left the business. She moved to OnlyFans and Twitch, cut out the studios, and started selling directly to her audience. Her estimated net worth is $10 million. She owns the content. She sets the price. Most women who leave the industry say they were manipulated, underpaid, and used. Mia Malkova stayed, got rich, and bought a castle. She is the one success story everyone in the business brings up when someone asks if the system works. One woman buying a castle does not mean the system works. It means the system worked once. Is Mia Malkova proof that the industry treats women fairly, or is she the exception they point to so they never have to fix it?

In 1987, TODAY correspondent Heidi Schulman sat down with Charles Manson inside San Quentin State Prison. Eighteen years had passed since the Tate-LaBianca murders. Manson had originally been sentenced to death, but his sentence was reduced to life after California abolished capital punishment. He agreed to the interview in connection with the book Manson in His Own Words, written by former inmate Nuel Emmons. The conversation lasted an hour and a half. Manson was sometimes coherent, sometimes completely unhinged, and manipulative the whole way through. Inside the TODAY newsroom, producers debated whether to air any of it. Half the staff didn't want to give him more publicity. In the end, seven minutes made it to air. Asked about remorse, Manson said he felt none, and added that maybe he should have killed four or five hundred people, because then he would have felt like he had done something for society. At another point he calmly told the interviewer that if he wanted to kill her, he would take the book they were discussing and beat her to death with it, and he wouldn't feel a thing. He admitted he influenced people but rejected any responsibility for the murders themselves. In his mind, the world had already done everything to him, so he had the right to do the same in return. The video below is the six minutes that aired. Was Charles Manson a product of a broken system and a lifetime of institutionalization, or a master manipulator who found people willing to kill for him?

The single best explanation of the DeepSeek copying scandal. OpenAI accused a small Chinese lab of training on ChatGPT's answers, in the same week that lab's cheap model helped wipe nearly $600 billion off Nvidia's value in a single day. A big model doesn't just know the right answer, it knows how likely every wrong answer is, and a small model that learns from those full odds gets smart far faster than one that only sees right answers.

One Store Could Keep $86,000 a Year by Not Sending Every Support Question to Claude an online store can burn $7,950 every month asking a premium AI model to answer 100,000 customer messages, including tens of thousands of questions that a basic database lookup could solve for free i priced the entire pipeline using Claude Fable 5.1 pricing, and the math exposes how expensive the default AI support strategy has become premium model on every message: $7,950 a month kimi k3 on every message: $2,565, a 68% cut from changing just two lines of code jev sorting all 100,000 messages: $3.15 jev + kimi k3: $773 a month, 90% cheaper than the original setup [Fig. 1] that is roughly $86,000 a year kept in the business instead of burned on unnecessary inference 70% of customer support messages never needed a frontier model at all [Table 2] 45% are order status questions, a database can answer those 25% are policy questions, a saved response can handle them only 30% need real reasoning, so those go to kimi k3 with the full handbook the savings get even more aggressive when you change how much work reaches the model [Fig. 2] 20% routed to kimi k3: $516 a month, 94% cheaper 30% routed to kimi k3: $773 a month, 90% cheaper 50% routed to kimi k3: $1,286 a month, 84% cheaper 100% routed to kimi k3 with no sorter: $2,565 a month, still 68% cheaper the entire strategy comes down to one formula S = 1 − (sorter cost + share × messages × K3 cost) / (messages × premium cost) jev doesn't generate answers, it chooses from responses you already approved and reports how confident it is [Fig. 3] above 0.8, the cheap path runs automatically between 0.5 and 0.8, kimi k3 takes over below 0.5, a human reviews the question that is how one store can save around $86,000 annually without forcing every difficult customer interaction through the cheapest possible model [Fig. 4] while OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google compete to sell increasingly capable models, businesses are losing money by treating every support message like a reasoning benchmark the next big AI cost advantage is knowing when not to call a model at all save this before another $7,950 disappears into AI support bills that never needed to exist ↓

Magnus Carlsen's record 2882 and Claude passing GPT-4 come from the same math - and a 50-point lead still means the #1 model loses 43 out of every 100 head-to-head votes. 4 minutes.

Air France and Airbus paid for deep sea searches that came back empty for nearly two years - 228 people gone, black boxes 4,000 meters down. Then one American firm ran a formula from 1763 over the Atlantic, and robot subs found the wreck in about a week. The same math found a lost hydrogen bomb the US Secretary of Defense reportedly valued at $2 billion. Y Combinator's Paul Graham used it to kill spam, AI labs use it to tune training runs that take days, and every next token ChatGPT writes is a probability updated by your prompt. 5 minutes.

OpenAI's GPT-4.5 was picked as the human 73% of the time - more often than the real people it was up against. Meta's Llama 3.1 fooled judges 56% of the time, while OpenAI's own GPT-4o managed just 21%, below ELIZA, a 1966 MIT chatbot that scored 23%. For nearly 30 years a $100,000 prize waited for the first machine to pass Alan Turing's test, and nobody ever collected it. The jump came from one prompt. Tell OpenAI's largest model, priced at $75 per million input tokens, to act like an introverted kid who knows internet slang, and it goes from 36% to 73%. Over 254 games that sits more than 7 standard errors above a coin flip - a fair coin does that about once in ten trillion tries. 5 minutes. Bookmark & watch today. How one prompt on a $75 per million token model beat Alan Turing's test
