  • Cory Chase, Bree Brooks Deliver Explosive Finale in Taboo Heat’s BBC Championship Season 2

    Cory Chase, Bree Brooks Deliver Explosive Finale in Taboo Heat’s BBC Championship Season 2

    TabooHeat.com wraps up its most talked-about series with the finale of BBC Championship Season 2, as Cory Chase and Bree Brooks team up to reward their undefeated squad in a no-holds-barred orgy that goes full throttle from the first frame.

    To celebrate the team’s big win and ease nerves about a possible relocation, Coach Cory brings in her step-sister Bree for a high-stakes team-building exercise that leaves no position unfilled.

    The finale features standout performances from Ace Bigs, Ace Hardz, Kaby Snow, and Dwayne Foxxx – each pushing the action into overtime with two of the industry’s top MILFs.

    Looking to elevate her content, Cory shared her vision for the scene: “I’ve done four-guy orgies before, but something was always missing – the previous co-star wasn’t as passionate about anal as I am. For this finale, I needed someone who matches my enthusiasm completely. Bree Brooks, the ultimate super MILF, was the perfect choice!”

    Chase and Brooks both praised the cast and creative chemistry that carried the series through: “We tip our hats to all the incredible male performers throughout Championship Season 2, and especially for this epic final game that closes out the series!”

  • [URGENT] Why power, not AI, may decide the data center race

    [URGENT] Why power, not AI, may decide the data center race

    The global data center industry is entering a sustained expansion phase, with nearly 100 gigawatts of new capacity expected between 2026 and 2030, effectively doubling today’s footprint and pushing total investment toward $3 trillion.

    Capacity is projected to grow at a 14 percent compound annual rate through 2030, driven primarily by hyperscale cloud providers and accelerating AI workloads, creating both structural opportunities and mounting pressure on power infrastructure, capital markets, and supply chains.

    Hyperscalers will remain the dominant growth engine, pursuing a hybrid strategy of leasing capacity while continuing to self-build large-scale campuses to secure power access, control latency, and manage long-term costs.

    By 2030, AI workloads could account for roughly half of all data center demand, up from about one-quarter in 2025, with a pivotal shift expected around 2027 as inference overtakes training as the primary driver of compute consumption.

    This transition materially changes deployment economics, as inference workloads require geographically distributed infrastructure closer to end users, increasing demand for regional and edge facilities rather than centralized mega-clusters alone.

    Regionally, the Americas will retain leadership, representing roughly half of global capacity and posting the fastest growth, supported by strong U.S. hyperscale investment, while APAC and EMEA expand at lower but still robust double-digit rates tied to cloud migration, sovereign AI requirements, and government-backed digital infrastructure.

    Power availability has emerged as the sector’s binding constraint, with grid connection wait times exceeding four years in many core markets, forcing operators to adopt behind-the-meter generation, battery storage, and, in some jurisdictions, direct ownership of power assets.

    In the U.S., natural gas is increasingly used as bridge or permanent on-site power, though sustainability concerns among large tenants may limit adoption, while EMEA and APAC lean more heavily on renewables and private-wire solutions to reduce cost and regulatory risk.

    Capital intensity continues to rise, with average global construction costs climbing to more than $10 million per megawatt and forecast to increase further, excluding tenant-funded IT fit-outs that can exceed $25 million per megawatt for AI-optimized deployments.

    Roughly $1.2 trillion in real estate asset value and nearly $870 billion in new debt financing will be required to deliver the next wave of capacity, alongside an additional $1 trillion to $2 trillion in tenant spending on GPUs, networking, and related infrastructure.

    These economics are accelerating industry consolidation, raising barriers to entry, and favoring well-capitalized operators with proven execution, access to power, and balance sheet flexibility.

    For investors and developers, the central risks now lie in power procurement, construction timelines, and the pace of AI application adoption, while strategic advantage will accrue to those who can align capital deployment with the shift from training to inference and the resulting geographic redistribution of demand.

  • Nvidia’s supply shift collides with surging AI demand

    Nvidia’s supply shift collides with surging AI demand

    A tightening global supply of memory and storage components is beginning to spill over into the consumer graphics card market, raising concerns about availability of Nvidia’s next generation GPUs.

    Industry observers say the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure worldwide is absorbing vast quantities of key components, leaving fewer resources for traditional PC hardware.

    The strain first became visible in memory markets. Spot prices for 16GB DDR5 chips surged by as much as 450 percent in the final quarter of 2025, according to market trackers, as data centers competed aggressively for supply.

    Retail markets reflected the imbalance, with some resellers listing DDR5 kits at prices exceeding $2,000. NAND flash used in solid state drives has also seen steep increases, with suppliers reporting price jumps of more than 200 percent over the past year.

    Graphics cards, which depend heavily on high bandwidth memory, are now feeling the effects. In late November, Nvidia confirmed a change in its supply model, ending the practice of bundling VRAM with GPU chips sold to board partners.

    Manufacturers are now required to source memory independently, a shift that places additional pressure on GPUs with large memory capacities, particularly models equipped with 16GB or more of GDDR7.

    Against this backdrop, a Reddit post from an alleged European PC retailer has drawn attention within the enthusiast community. The user, posting on the r/pcmasterrace subreddit, claimed their supplier has imposed strict limits on Nvidia GPU orders.

    According to the shared email, the retailer can order only up to five units of the RTX 5070 per cycle, while the RTX 5070 Ti and higher tier models are currently unavailable. The supplier reportedly cited the current market situation as the reason, without further detail.

    While the claims have not been independently verified, they align with broader signals of stress across the hardware supply chain.

    Analysts warn that as long as AI driven demand continues to dominate memory and storage production, shortages and allocation limits for high performance consumer GPUs are likely to persist, potentially reshaping pricing and availability well into the next product cycle.

  • Entertainment’s AI boom is creating a new and dangerous blind spot

    Entertainment’s AI boom is creating a new and dangerous blind spot

    Artificial intelligence will be the primary driver of new security risks across the global entertainment industry in 2026, expanding the attack surface from ticketing and production to distribution, gaming, and regulatory compliance, according to Kaspersky’s latest Security Bulletin.

    Kaspersky’s analysis concludes that AI is no longer a peripheral tool but a core operational layer that both defenders and attackers will exploit, forcing studios, platforms, and rights holders to rethink risk management across creative and commercial systems.

    The firm warns that AI-driven ticketing systems will intensify competition between pricing algorithms and scalpers, enabling real-time demand analysis, large-scale bot deployment, and dynamic resale pricing that can undermine fixed-price strategies and artist controls in secondary markets.

    In content production, the growing use of cloud-based and AI-assisted visual effects tools is expected to widen supply-chain risk, as studios increasingly rely on smaller vendors and freelancers whose infrastructure may be less secure, creating new pathways for pre-release leaks of high-value assets.

    Kaspersky also flags content delivery networks as an emerging concentration risk, noting that unreleased episodes, game builds, and live streams are often centralized within a limited number of providers, making them attractive targets for AI-enabled reconnaissance, credential abuse, and configuration exploitation.

    Within gaming and fan communities, generative AI tools are expected to accelerate abuse patterns, including the circumvention of in-game safeguards, the creation of prohibited content, and the potential exposure of personal data through poorly governed training or fine-tuning processes.

    On the regulatory front, Kaspersky anticipates tighter rules around transparency, consent, and licensing for AI-generated and AI-trained content, driving the creation of internal AI governance roles responsible for compliance across production, marketing, and distribution workflows.

    The company advises entertainment organizations to treat AI systems and their underlying data as critical infrastructure, extend threat modeling to all AI-enabled processes, strengthen oversight of external vendors, harden CDN security monitoring, and implement strict governance for generative AI deployments to mitigate financial, legal, and reputational risk.

  • Bree Mills Wraps Production on Pure Taboo Feature The Secrets We Share

    Bree Mills Wraps Production on Pure Taboo Feature The Secrets We Share

    Adult Time has wrapped production on The Secrets We Share, the latest Pure Taboo feature written and directed by Bree Mills, building on intense drama, emotional complexity and high-stakes erotic storytelling.

    The story follows an outwardly wholesome Los Angeles household whose cracks begin to show after a Canadian exchange student, played by Lilly Bell in her first feature with Mills, moves in. Also starring Penny Barber, Max Fills, Axel Haze, Tyler Cruise and Charles Dera, The Secrets We Share dives into sexual manipulation, unraveling relationships and dark familial power struggles – with Fills stepping into his first dramatic lead role.

    “I was so excited to work on Bree Mills’ new feature, The Secrets We Share. If I was going to ask Bree to write a character for me to play, this is the character that it would be,” said Penny Barber. “It’s nice to be able to show myself off as an actor because I’m usually doing pretty much the same thing. My character is weird, controlling, and perverse – all things that I love to portray on screen. I’m so excited that Adult Time wanted to do this project. You’re going to love it.”

    Lilly Bell stated, “It’s been a challenging project, but I was so excited to let my imagination run wild. This is my first time working with Bree Mills on a feature, which has been really cool. The sex scenes, especially the one with Charles Dera, turned out so great. I play a 20-year-old Canadian exchange student who arrives at a seemingly perfect All-American family’s big, nice house in Los Angeles, eager to escape my hometown. But beneath the surface, there are these… intertwining connections, giving the movie a bit of a Saltburn vibe. My character might need a mental hospital after her time with this family.”

    Max Fills enthused, “This is a really special movie for me. This is the first time I’ve taken the lead in a dramatic role like this, so it’s been really fun. The Adult Time crew has been incredible to work with. Everyone really poured out our heart and soul into this movie. It’s been a very emotional roller coaster for me. I screamed. I cried. I laughed. It’s an incredible piece and I worked really hard on this one.”

    Axel Haze said, “It’s obviously going to be a super crazy, sexy movie – but there are a ton of twists. The director, the crew… everyone was fabulous. You guys have got to see it.”

    Tyler Cruise noted, “This is probably the craziest script I’ve ever done. I’m not going to spoil it, but you guys will find out soon. I’m so excited about this movie. I got to work with three new people that I’ve never worked with, plus Penny Barber, which is amazing. It’s a great cast, great crew, and I think you guys are going to be surprised when you see the ending.”

    Charles Dera added, “I’m working here for Pure Taboo once again with Bree Mills, and what an honor it is. I feel like no one gets actors into the character as well as she does. I think that’s the biggest part of being an actor, is having a director who can tell you how to deliver a character. It’s not about delivering lines, but it’s about the energy of it. Anytime I get to work with Bree, she pushes me as an actor all the time, and it’s a blessing to be here.”

    Fans can enjoy The Secrets We Share later this year exclusively at PureTaboo.com and on the AdultTime.com streaming network, where members enjoy unlimited access to more than 480 channels, 66,000 episodes, and 8+ new releases daily from award-winning creators and studios.

  • Vixen Media Group Crowns Liz Jordan as Newest Vixen Angel

    Vixen Media Group Crowns Liz Jordan as Newest Vixen Angel

    Vixen Media Group (VMG), the leader in luxury adult entertainment, proudly welcomes Liz Jordan as the newest addition to its celebrated Vixen Angel lineup. Her induction was marked by an evocative shoot on a secluded ranch near Joshua Tree, blending western edge with Vixen’s signature glamour.

    Against a sun-drenched backdrop of cacti, rustic cabins, and wide-open desert roads, Liz brought the high-fashion intensity that defines the Vixen Angel aesthetic. Wearing custom Vixen lingerie with bold western accents —  leather, fringe, and boots —  she captured the fearless spirit of the brand with a modern edge.

    “The concept for my Vixen Angel shoot was western core and I was so so happy with it!” Liz shared. “It was a very rustic, real vibe that I feel matches me well because although I love dressing up in tight dresses and heels occasionally, ultimately if you know me in my personal life I am typically wearing jeans and boots or sneakers. I have also just always been a big fan of the desert, so to incorporate that along with my personal style for this shoot just felt so natural. It felt like it was the best portrayal of myself and it gave me the most amount of confidence I possibly could’ve had for this big moment, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. All the looks are elevated country cowgirl and it was so fun just being a little doll for the Vixen team to dress up.”

    Liz’s crowning was made even more meaningful as she was joined by fellow Vixen Angels Adriana Chechik, Avery Cristy, Gina Valentina, Kendra Sunderland, and Vicki Chase, who came to celebrate the moment alongside her. Their presence marked the occasion as more than just a shoot; it became a recognition of Liz’s evolution and an unofficial passing of the torch from some of the most influential women in the industry.

    “I think the most surprising moment about this shoot had to be just the insane line up of ladies that showed up for my special day,” Liz said. “These other Vixen Angels are all women that I have looked up to and adored since before I was even in the industry so to have them all there congratulating me was a huge honor.”

    Longtime friend and fellow Angel Avery Cristy shared her excitement about Liz’s crowning.

    “My first reaction when I heard it was going to be Liz? I was SO excited!” Cristy said. “Liz and I had the same agent when we first joined the industry. I met her in a model house on her very first shoot trip, and I just knew she was going to be huge. She is so beautiful and so sweet, and we’ve always gotten along so well. The fact we’re both Vixen Angels now is amazing! I was so happy I could be there to celebrate with her and the other girls!”

    Gina Valentina echoed that sentiment, saying, “I literally screamed ‘YESSS!’ when I found out. She’s so deserving, and it felt like a full-circle moment. It’s a beautiful thing to see someone get their flowers while they’re blooming.”

    Adriana Chechik added her praise, saying, “I think that Liz Jordan is a perfect choice for Vixen Angel as she represents what it means to be a strong and sexy woman in the industry. She also is a girl’s girl, which to me embodies what an Angel should be.”

    Kendra Sunderland captured the spirit of the day perfectly, saying, “I would describe the vibe of the celebration as the epitome of girlhood. Just a good group of girls being cute and supporting each other. Taking super cute pics and celebrating the adorable new Vixen Angel!”

    As part of the Vixen Angel tradition, Liz received the signature Vixen necklace: a custom gold Tiffany piece featuring a brilliant-cut diamond and the unmistakable “V” pendant. The necklace symbolizes the prestige and timeless appeal of the Angel title; a perfect fit for Liz’s moment in the spotlight.

    “Having the signature Vixen Angel necklace means that, in the least corny way possible, I have a family for life now,” Liz said. “It represents all the time and hard work that was put into earning this pendant and now I get to show it off and show what I have accomplished and I couldn’t be more proud to wear it.”

    Reflecting on her journey, Liz shared how much this achievement means. “Being crowned Vixen Angel to me personally is such an honor. My very first experience in the industry I met Avery Christy and she had just gotten crowned Vixen Angel and I was so incredibly happy and inspired by her, and now 5 years later being crowned Vixen Angel myself it feels like a full circle moment and I am incredibly grateful,” she said. “Professionally, this achievement was one of my few goals I set for myself while being in the industry so it feels very rewarding and like my hard work has paid off.”

    Liz also reflected on her long-standing relationship with VMG. 

    “I would describe my journey with Vixen Media Group as smooth and exhilarating,” she continued. “This company has believed in me ever since my very first year in the industry and has watched and helped me grow into the performer I am today. VMG has been one of the only companies to consistently hire me through all my years of shooting and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunities they have given me. I’ve truly been able to transform into the best version of myself with the help of this company and put out the highest quality work I could imagine.”

    Mike Miller, executive producer at Vixen Media Group, shared his perspective on Liz’s rise.

    “From the very beginning, Liz has been a standout performer. We saw something special in her from her earliest scenes, and it’s been a pleasure to watch her evolve into one of the most dynamic and captivating performers in the industry,” he said. “She’s consistently delivered excellence, both on set and off, and her dedication, professionalism, and unmistakable presence embody everything the Vixen Angel title represents.”

    An award-winning performer, Liz has filmed over 15 scenes across VMG’s prestigious brands, including Blacked, Blacked Raw, Tushy, Tushy Raw, Vixen, Deeper, and Slayed. Her standout scene on Slayed alongside fellow Vixen Angel Vanna Bardot earned the 2024 AVN award for Best Girl/Girl Scene, just one highlight in a career defined by confidence, chemistry, and magnetic screen presence.
