Adult Performer Olivia Would Reimagines Nine Inch Nails with Bold Cover of Starfuckers, Inc.

LOS ANGELES, CA – Adult star and artist Olivia Would released her latest music video this week, a striking reinterpretation of Nine Inch Nails’ hit Starfuckers, Inc. Known for her subversive style and refusal to conform, Would delivers a piece of artistry that highlights the beautiful contradiction of her Hollywood aesthetic with her grunge musicality.

“I like dissonance. I like the soft, blonde aesthetic paired with a song like Starfuckers, Inc.,” says Would. “I figure the most subversive thing I can do is appear normal.”

Would’s imagining of one of Nine Inch Nails’ most infamous tracks captures the raw, confrontational energy made famous by Trent Reznor in the original while infusing it with her own distinct, transgressive flair. 

Part of the video was filmed on location at the 2025 Trans Erotica Awards, adding an unexpected layer of spectacle and sex-work-positive representation. Fans will also be thrilled by a special cameo appearance from an award-winning performer whose presence amplifies the video’s daring interplay of glamour, sexuality, and rebellion.

Would’s rendition expands her growing reputation as a performer unafraid to reframe iconic works through her unique artistic vision. She teased that today’s release was only the first part in a larger artistic vision for her work, with the next drop occurring later this month. 

"Starfuckers, Inc." covered by Olivia Would is now available (Explicit Version): http://OliviaWould.com/starfucker

Aubrey Kate Dominates in Kink’s A Hole for the Prison Guard with Sage Roux

Las Vegas, NV – Multi-award-winning trans superstar Aubrey Kate stars in her newest release on Kink, A Hole for the Prison Guard, alongside Sage Roux and directed by Tristan Seagal.

“It was so fun being a Domme and being able to have fun and torture Sage at the same time,” Aubrey Kate shared. “Kink was my first real studio shoot, so they always have a special place in my heart.”

The scene opens with Sage lying naked and restrained inside a dim jail cell when Aubrey enters—not with freedom, but with authority. She attaches a leash to his collar and commands him to serve her, taking her cock deep down his throat as she teases, torments, and pushes him further. With electricity, clothespins, and raw domination, Aubrey asserts full control before fucking him hard across the grimy mattress. Their intense chemistry builds until Aubrey climaxes, painting Sage’s face in a finish that perfectly captures the raw energy of the scene.

A Hole for the Prison Guard is now available exclusively at Kink.com.

Aubrey Kate’s Toy Collection Sells Out at Launch

Lightning Star World confirms new production run after overwhelming fan demand; Aubrey Kate celebrates milestone as the brand’s first trans signee

LAS VEGAS, NV  - Multi-award-winning adult superstar Aubrey Kate has once again proven her star power with the release of the Aubrey Kate Collection, created in partnership with Lightning Star World. The dual-piece toy set sold out instantly upon launch, with a second round of production now underway to meet overwhelming fan demand.

“I am incredibly honored to be the first trans girl signed with Lightning Star,” said Aubrey Kate. “Receiving my custom butt and cock molds is a milestone that reflects my journey and self-expression. I hope this inspires others to embrace their authenticity and celebrate their unique identities.”



The Aubrey Kate Collection features:

  • Ultra-realistic Dream Girl Replica — designed to capture Aubrey’s most iconic details

  • Aubrey Kate Signature Replica Dildo — precision molded directly from the star herself

Together, the two toys provide a complete fantasy experience, crafted from premium, body-safe materials for realism and versatility. Each product ships discreetly with free DHL Express delivery included in most regions.

Following the sold-out success of the 100-unit Launch Edition, Lightning Star World confirmed that a new production run is already underway, with shipping scheduled to begin on September 3, 2025. Fans can purchase directly at: https://www.lightningstar.world/products/aubrey-kate-collection

“At Lightning Star, we’re just a team of good people trying to do something great for this industry,” said Lightning Star’s founder. “What makes us different is simple: we believe creators deserve far more than they’ve been given elsewhere. They deserve positive, dignified marketing — not to be reduced to hyper-sexualized ‘meat cups.’ And fans deserve toys that look and feel better because they’re built with real engineering, not outdated shortcuts. That philosophy guides how we approach every creator partnership, how we execute each design, and how we ensure creators are paid fairly. With our founder’s background in aerospace engineering, we’ve always believed in building things to a higher standard — and Lightning Star reflects that. We don’t just make toys; we’re raising the bar for what this industry can be.”
