LOS ANGELES — XBIZ is pleased to announce Digital Playground “it” girl Jesse Jane as host of the 9th annual XBIZ Awards, adding another layer of glam to the highly anticipated star-studded event. Preliminary details about the industry’s biggest business awards show are now available at XBIZAwards.com.

“Jesse Jane is sensational on every level and we couldn’t be happier to have her host the industry’s biggest business awards show to date,” XBIZ President and Publisher Alec Helmy said. “Jesse will undoubtedly set Hollywood’s sexiest red carpet event of the year on fire come February 2011.”

Jesse Jane, the all-American blonde, green-eyed sultry adult performer, has skyrocketed to fame since inking a contract with leading adult studio Digital Playground. The studio launched Jane into superstardom with global exposure on hundreds of magazine covers, including mainstream men’s magazines FHM and Maxim. Her leading role in Digital Playground’s benchmark film, “Pirates” solidified Jesse Jane as a household name in both adult and mainstream.

Her skills as a personality host have been showcased on mainstream cable networks VH1 and CTV, as well as on radio with hosting gigs on Playboy Radio’s “Night Calls.” Now, Jane will bring her energetic personality and dazzling looks to the 2011 XBIZ Awards show stage.

"I am super excited to host the 2011 XBIZ Awards,” Jane said. “It's going be a fun night and I am so honored that they chose me to host the awards show. I promise I'll make it fun!"

XBIZ also welcomes MyFreeCams as the premier Diamond Sponsor of the 2011 XBIZ Awards.

"With so many of the top adult stars broadcasting their webcam shows on MyFreeCams.com, we thought it would be fitting to give back and support this important event for our industry," MyFreeCams President Leo Radvinsky said.

Nominations for the 2011 XBIZ Awards begin Oct. 18 on XBIZ.net, the adult industry’s No. 1 social network.
