Adult Stars Magazine Relaunching Under New Owner

MIAMI — New owner David Santa plans a revitalization of Adult Stars Magazine with new direction.

Since it was founded in 1996, Adult Stars Magazine has produced movies, such as "I Dream of Teeny," established the online Porno News Network and recognized excellence with the ASM Consumer Choice Awards. ASM also has helped build the names of many legendary female performers, former ASM vice president Jill Kelly, and represented many contract stars through Adult Stars Management.

"It's a new day at Adult Stars Magazine," Santa said. "ASM's back under new ownership and it's a fresh start. ASM has done some amazing things in the past, and I'm looking forward to building on ASM's brand name."

Santa plans to incorporate the snappy and witty writing of English lad magazines like Maxim and FHM with centerfolds that emphasize glamour. The magazine will also concentrate on free online distribution and begin to feature mainstream celebrities while still remembering its roots in the adult industry.

Music industry veteran Nicole "Bentley" Ippolito, president of N-Vision Entertainment, has joined ASM to help in the development.

"This isn't going to be your father's Adult Stars Magazine," Santa said. "The direction we're taking the magazine in is sexy, trendy and most of all, bad ass. With the pictorials, articles and attitude, ASM is going to be that cool kid that everyone wants to hang with."

Adult Stars Magazine will relaunch later this year.
