Brent and Jonah Go A-Protestin'

From the local San Diego HillcrestBlog:


You can read the whole blog entry here, but it's interesting that the blog author lists fellow AGS-GGW actor Jonah Blechman (aka 'Miko') as his lover; I wasn't even aware they were an item!

Of course, he signs off every one of his blog posts "Your friend and lover," so, perhaps in that sense we are all Brent's lovers (including me). :-)

Anyways, this photo appears to be from the San Diego protest Saturday before last, mentioned briefly in Brent's last post (before jetting off to New York) that he was too pooped to write about yet.

And J.C. Adams has a round-up of other recent Prop 8 porn star activism here.

Update: OK, a bit off topic (concerns Brent's current NYC jaunt) but funny: Brent leaves a party, and runs into Michael Lucas on the way out. :-)

Update 2: LOL!



Update 3: Brent was actually protesting Prop 8 on both seacoasts this month:


...and manages to get name-dropped several other times in this HX column as well.

It's rather adventurous for the Hillcrest Blog to describe two people its correspondent meets on a public street as lovers unless they volunteered that information, but Brent could do worse.

Geoff Harvard said...

Although I don't doubt their sincerity about the anti-8 cause, I think that Brent and Jonah mingling with a huge crowd of potential viewers and video customers and getting their names and the name of their film into a related news story counts as promotion for AGS just days before its direct-to-DVD release.

"Both of Kensington" indeed. This must come as news to Grant, who has made a recent and very direct statement to the contrary.

jim said...

Yeah I noticed the Kensington thing too. Maybe Brent moved, as he said was going to?

LOL.

DeWayne said this in the previous thread about Brent:

"Marco is the BF
Miko is a great and close friend ;)"

Then this really is BS about Jonah? I think they should print a retraction if it is.

jim said...

Yeah, as I implied, this "lover" thing sounded a bit fishy to me (merman pun not intended).

I think this blogger/reporter (who did not really know them) just ran into Brent and Jonah on this overpass during the protest, saw them protesting together, and just made some assumptions...that would be my guess.

Seems to me a minor infraction, to go calling for a full-fledged retraction.

Geoff Harvard said...

The thing is, this Hillcrest Blog does a big song and dance above its flag proclaiming its membership in professional journalism organizations as an appeal to authority, and then its reporter goes out and misspells the name and mistakes the relationship of a public figure. It's not damaging, but it's not competent reporting, either. The photo is not complementary of Jonah, in my opinion. Maybe he had a late Friday night. He could use some Prep-H on the bags under his eyes.

Well, you know how the internet grapevine is. You've already featured this story here, and since Brent and Jonah are both well known, it's liable to pick up some more steam in the coming days. That just seems silly if it's a complete falsehood, which it appears to be.

jim said...

"That just seems silly if it's a complete falsehood, which it appears to be."

I am now certain that it is false. A bit of sloppy reporting by this San Diego blogger.

The only person who is apt to be mislead by this is a certain serial plagerizer, IMO. No harm there, really, except making the plagerizer look foolish.

Well, despite what I said about this story spreading and gaining traction, we can be thankful that, now that Damon has stolen it, people know it can't be true.

jim said...

LOL...Amen to that!

elmysterio said...

To bad Damon does not know the truth if it bit hinm on his flabby saggy ass.

I wonder what else he does not know.

Kent reprinted the discredited item about Brent and Jonah AGAIN today. And for good measure he included a boner about the H & J trial. I posted this message to him on DeWayne's Luezer blog:

Kentie, you can print as many lies and innuendos about Brent Corrigan as your little shriveled-up heart desires, he will not be calling you to complain. He is ignoring you, just as I should be.

But I just had to point out that the piece of fiction you wrote about him today contains a classic Barclay Blooper. You said:

" . . and no wonder CORRIGAN is said to be 'terrified' of the prospect of TWO SEPARATE TESTIMONIES if CUADRA and KEREKES get the separate trials they allegedly are seeking."

Sweetie, the judge already ruled on this matter way back in September. He wrote:

"The facts and circumstances of the case at bar do not suggest or require severance."

Furthermore:

"Severance questions fall within the discretion of the trial judge and an order denying severance will not be overturned on appeal absent an abuse of discretion."

IDIOT.

Too bad CyberStalker doesn't give out an award for Most Clueless Adult Blog, you'd be a shoo-in.

jim said...

Well, in fairness to Kent, what he writes these days is not so much due to mental infirmity, as it is an conscious and calculated act in furtherence of a long established extortion racket.

Kent has demanded of Brent interviews, information and cooperation or else, and Brent (as have Gavin Braun, Angel Skye, Brad Star, and many other before and after him) has told him he can go fuck himself.

So, what we see now is the promised retribution in the form of libel, for not bowing to the extortion demand and "playing ball."

That's why the Cybersocket article is irksome to me. His site is not a "guilty pleasure" as that moron of a columnist seems to think; it is an active and ongoing criminal enterprise. One that is being currently investigated by the Computer Crimes Task Force of the Boston Police Department (and perhaps other law enforcement agenicies as well)

And by promoting the site, Cybersocket has now become a co-conspirator in this ongoing criminal enterprise.

Geoff Harvard said...

You mean promoting AGS on both coasts, not to diminish their sincerity about the political issue. Is Round Trip Ticket on Logo still in production? The episodes I see on the program guide say 2006. Logo could certainly use some fresh material. I think a San Diego travelogue with Brent Corrigan would be cute. He would be shouting over the traffic noise from the 52 and the jet noise from Miramar just like in the Kurt Wild scene in Just the Sex.

Jim, I don't see where there is a DK crime to investigate, which is why after all this time no one has arrested the bogey. "Kent/Damon" makes an offer, and all those people you listed refuse. Case closed. I think you should pay me $500 for that insight, or maybe people will think you are ungrateful. Now send the cops after me.

I PayPalled all my disposable income to Mason Wyler already; sorry.

Hey Jim you seemed to have pissed off "The Umentioned One". Now why would you go and do a thing like that? ;-)

MARC's DEFINITION of a DESPICABLE and COWARDLY PLAYER: 5 choices from current D-Listers

Who's worse, 1) Someone who refuses to ID himself but starts a blog talking about a non-existent criminal "trial" based on "charges filed" (that never were) that he's now careful to rationalize on the basis of an alleged "ongoing investigation" no one else is privy to, in a shabby and puerile attempt to smear by implication, without once ever providing corroboration publicly or privately;


This would be you Jim, Kent Barclay on trial.

2) An industry wannabe in San Diego who misappropriates someone else's name for purposes of deception and misdirection, a man who's an aging former alcoholic/substance abuser skating on very thin ice while reportedly xxx blogging while on the clock as a Government employee;

This would be Dewayne and his DK blog

3) a model who signs a contract and then reneges on it due to the unsolicited "advice" of a rival writer in a decidedly non-brauny manner,

Is this Brent or Angel and Brad? I'm confused on that one.

4) Grifters who engage the services of a publicist and even beg for money, then turn on said publicist by playing their all-too-familiar "victim of sabotage" role when he actually expects to be compensated as agreed, or

Definately Angel And Brad or maybe Joe and Harlow

5) an aging twink star who is the living embodiment of the most egregious plotline of the video "Velvet Mafia"?

Gotta be Brent Corrigan

There's just so many liars, hypocrites and impersonators to choose from, but MARC is going with Choice #1 today, since as we all know Chinchillas squeal loudly to get attention when they don't get noticed or nominated for anything due to their wholly derivative talents based solely on riding other people's fame...and making up "crime stories" that betray his REAL ambition, i.e. to be a CSI writer!

I am just truly pissed off that I was not mentioned in that tyraid. I have worked long and hard to incur his wrath yet he ignores me.

I guess I just have to try harder then. DK is a joke and a liar, how is that for a start.

jim -
Can we hear more about the computer crimes task force investigsating Kentie?
I already know how the law enforcement angle is being handled.

jim said...

"5) an aging twink star..."

Did the Fountain of Youth get discovered recently? Or a breakthru in stem cell research leading to an immortality treatment?

Because if not, I do believe every twink star in existance is currently "aging." :-)

Jim I cant believe I just found out Blogger now has Wordpress style commenting! No more seperate comment pages, comments are at the bottom of the original post and the preview funtion (missing from Wordpress) is still there. Check it out on my latest post, its very easy to implement.

BTW the feature was added October 23!
