Wicked’s feature film Eternity earned 17 nominations, Michael Ninn’s video/film hybrid Catherine garnered 15 nominations in video categories, and New Sensations’ Dark Angels 2, the sequel to AVN’s 2001 Best Video Feature, netted 16 noms. Red Light District’s first foray into features, Dark Side, received 16 film nominations and Jules Jordan (distributed by Evil Angel) grabbed 20 nominations for productions and sex scenes.

2006 AVN Awards is January 7, and is hosted by Jesse Jane.

Jesse was a guest at the Howard Stern show recently. He quizzed her about her relationships with rock stars and her recent marriage to adult performer Rick Patrick. “Every one of the porn stars I know ends up marrying a porn star,” he mused.

Jane said that marrying a colleague just made good sense. “I love the adult business, and I’m not going to stop, and a lot of guys couldn’t handle that.”

Stern seemed surprised to hear that Jane and Patrick had never worked together and didn’t intend to, but that both of them continue to appear with other on-screen partners. Privately, she said, “we have sex all the time and I love it.”
