The clip, which aired April 26 during the 5 p.m. news, depicts Benz behind the wheel on the Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades, Calif. commenting on her traffic woes while driving home from a photo shoot. Vlogging while driving is a new phenomenon in L.A.
Benz told XBIZ that KABC producers contacted her via her page on YouTube.com where she has 10 videos uploaded. Benz’ “channel” on YouTube.com has more than 20,000 views.
“I vlog a lot because traffic out here really sucks,” Benz said. “I’m pretty surprised that KABC put my clip on because I’m an adult star and I’m sure people recognized me. They wanted me to come to the studios for an in-person interview too.”
Benz views vlogging as another way to communicate with her fans. In addition to her YouTube page, the star maintains a very active MySpace.com profile.
“I wanted to create some sort of video diary of my daily life,” Benz said about her motivation to regularly vlog. “There are a ton of videos I have yet to upload and I love hearing from fans and reading their comments. Some of them didn’t even believe that traffic was that bad out here, but I have my vlog to document what L.A. drivers go through everyday. It was amazing that the news decided to use my clip.”
Benz said that she has been shooting steadily and has a slew of DVDs ready to be released. She is featured in Digital Playground’s upcoming “Jack’s Big Tit Show 4” and Zero Tolerance’s “The Wetter the Better” and “Meet the Fockers 6,” where she is paired with Gina Lynn.
