LOS ANGELES — The 2nd Annual Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment Awards were presented Saturday night as part of the weekend-long Erotica LA consumer show, held at the LA Convention Center.

Created in 2006 by Genesis Magazine, Adam & Eve, WantedList.com and AVN.com, the F.A.M.E. Awards allows fans to interact online, first choosing finalists in 14 categories, and then picking the winners. This year fans cast more than 100,000 online votes, more than doubling the amount for the 2006 F.A.M.E. Awards.

Hosted by mega starlet Tera Patrick and male performer Evan Stone, the event gave fans attending the show a chance to watch as a roster of A-list adult stars strutted on the red carpet and received honors in “Favorite” categories.

ominated for Favorite Male Star, on top of his hosting duties, Stone joked that allowing fans to vote online had prevented him from stuffing the ballots.

“I didn’t have to suck any cock for this award, though,” Stone said jokingly. “So, we’ll see what happens.”

Stone made his red carpet appearance dressed as a buccaneer; the first of several costume changes throughout the evening. At one point, he appeared onstage dressed in a tiger suit, whipping his tail lasciviously.

Stone hammed it up for the audience, helping to give the program a fun, light-hearted atmosphere.

On the red carpet, Wicked contract star Stormy Daniels was nominated in multiple categories including Favorite Female Performer. The winner in that category was slated to win a Tiffany pearl necklace valued at $5,000, awarded by show co-sponsor and webcam content provider IMLive.com.

Daniels, wearing her diamond Wicked necklace, claimed she has no pearls in her jewelry collection.

“So, if I win, it’ll be my first pearl necklace,” Daniels said. “Well, not exactly my first pearl necklace.”

Adult celebrities, including rock ‘n’ roll mainstreamer Dave Navarro, were seated in a fenced-off area in front of the “Sensual Stage.” Nearby, a table was set up so fans could purchase souvenir T-shirts and disposable cameras at discounted prices, in the hopes of having the T-shirts autographed by performers or capturing some special moments on film.

The event was stream-lined and simple, and went off without a hitch.

In addition to short acceptance speeches, the audience was entertained by a comedy video clip featuring male performer Tommy Gunn and several starlets. Set to the theme music from “Chariots of Fire,” Gunn delivered a deadpan appeal for “SupportYourPornstars.com,” a charity to prevent performers from not being in porn.

Quickly paced, the program took a little less than an hour to present the 14 flame-shaped, clear acrylic trophies.

Gonzo power couple Jenna Haze and Jules Jordan were the night’s big winners; Haze bringing home the Favorite Oral Starlet trophy and Jordan winning for Favorite Director for the second year in a row, as well as this year’s Favorite Gonzo Movie for “Jenna Haze Dark Side.”
