Baby, maybe it's the swelter and the barely-there clothes. Maybe the twisted talk of The Aristocrats got you hot and the Bawdy Girls running 'round got you hotter. Maybe Sgt. Salacious Stefan Bernarsky's stripped-down Philth model searches (at Siam Lotus Aug. 24 next, yo) got you thinking: It's porn time. 2005's not just a sex summer. It's an all-out peel-it, strap-it, shove-it season. When you get DN's Dan Gross getting all aw-shucks from chatting with Jenna Haze at Club Risque, it must be a dirty August. Course, not everybody's up for the jump of naked girls and boys. Not state Rep. Marie Lederer. After having opposed 20-some strip-club licensees, Lederer ("Ginger Lynn Lederer," "Cocky Bukkake Marie" — you think of a porn handle) is trying to knock down a proposed strip club at Suite 450. Marie, know this: Whether mammary slapping or pole humping, stripping's a damn sight better than the reported gun action at the 450. Nobody shoots naked. … Out and loving it: Dev79's ace "Stateside grime" label, SlitJockey, dropped its first wiggly single, Dev's "From the Get," shared with bud Starkey's "Less Than Paper." And, proving that what Omaha makes, Philly takes, newly anointed local Eli Simon's Bottom of the Hudson just dropped its Holiday Machine EP on Absolutely Kosher. It's thick with Pollard/Bowie bedroom-glam pop riffs. … We likee Michael Vogel, the Abington-born thesp starring in this week's Supercross, this Christmas' Rumor Has It (with bluer-than-blue Jennifer Aniston) and the still-filming Poseidon. "Passion for acting got me out of Abington," says Vogel, 27, who could've stayed working in dad's plumbing business. "I chose the cleaner route," he said from the Four Seasons. Vogel was an X-treme sort, even got his spleen ruptured a few times for the sport. So for Supercross' moto-mega-cycle racing (truly the krumping of X-style gaming), Vogel had one rule: Don't die. "The guys who really do this — 60 feet in the air — are the most conditioned athletes. They're ridiculous." Sure, ramping up big wheels is good. But with Aniston all alone, doing the merry widow thing, did he make a move? "C'mon … of course," says Vogel jokingly. … WHOWHATWHERE: Nearly forgot: Back when Brian Jonestown Massacre played the Khyber, always-tweaky frontman Anton Newcombe got tweakier still when an anonymous pal o' mine went and mentioned his starring role in Dig! while hanging on the second floor. "He got so buggy, mumbling, "That was then,' and "Never say that,' and mumbled shit I couldn't understand. I thought he was doing an Igor in Young Frankenstein," states my friend. Jacky Bam Bam played host to harpy hardcore locals CKY at Cheerleaders. And Beanie Siegel. Dag. You get out of jail after one year. You'll be going back to trial next month. Where do you spend your first night of party-down freedom? Top Dog in Jersey?! Who ate at the big boys' table at Alma de Cuba? M. Night Shyamalan, who brought Freddy Rodriguez (barely done with Six Feet Under), Paul Giamatti and Bryce Dallas Howard to discuss their liquidy bits in the Bristol Township-filming Lady in the Water. … As if it wasn't weird enough seeing designing Phillyite Jay McCarroll on TV, winning last season's Project Runway, he's getting his own Bravo network docu-draaaama in 2006 about the wherefores of that new collection of his. … The biz: Philly's The Brakes and their manager Dave Levine got a bigger break by signing a booking/co-management deal with Madison House — the music biz-equivalent to sleeping with a pretty, but still-B-list actress on The OC. And recent Drexel alum Howard Benson, producer for P.O.D. and Hoobastank, got his own imprint through Geffen Records, Sparky Dark, and just signed Bangor, Pa.'s Warped Tour fave, Sound the Alarm. Sleep with them. … You likee puppets? Dig Nick@Nite every Tuesday. The Banyan-produced show Hi-Jinks starring Gilbert Gottfried features several puppets designed by Susan Ricca of Miles the Goose fame. Honk. … America's first gay television network, here! Networks, wants in on TLA baaad. Not only are they on the TLA Releasing tip to put out DVDs together like Beautiful Boxer, they're bringing Naked Fame star Colton Ford (ex-porn guy turned singer) to TLA Locust Street and Woody's Aug. 18. Poppers all around. … Got $7? Hook up ze anti-racist People's Institute for Survival and Beyond (www.thepeoplesinstitute.org) Aug. 20 at Calvary Center, 801 S. 48th St. Phil Moore Browne, Monica McIntyre and Tremain Fishersounds aid the cause. … B-Days: Jennifer Ramsay parties-on-down to 10 years of her Sansom Street salon, Echochic, with a fashion show "Rags to Riches" at Denim Aug. 18 with bubbie Schoolly D, host Monie Love and a screening of the new doc In the Life of Echochic. And my birthday? Aug. 22? Imo share it with you — rocker, fashion victim, Fringer — at Bar Noir's pre-Live Arts/Fringe showcase starring fellow birthday kittens Birdie Busch and Hoagie Wing, as well as SloMo, Needles Jones, the newly configured Helen Back (with Dave Commander), Peek-A-Boo Revue's Scott Johnson, Martha McDonald, Dirty Diamond and a lot of people they won't tell me. Kisses.
