Wicked Pictures in order to offer JoyBear’s content to North American audiences. JoyBear’s new couples’ feature, Chloe’s Column: Fuck Fame, will hit retail shelves in the U.S. this week.

Described as “a sexy, inventive look at celebrity culture,” Chloe’s Column generated advance buzz by employing many of the same filming locations seen in the 2011 Academy Award-winning mainstream drama The King’s Speech.

The DVD’s release comes during a period of interest in “raunchy films for her and him” — which, as luck would have it, is JoyBear’s tagline. The studio recently has enjoyed appearances in a number of publications, from the British edition of Esquire magazine to the Sunday Times newspaper. The latter referred to JoyBear’s content as “kinder, gentler pornography.”

Chloe’s Column aspires to that description. At its heart, the film is a XXX meditation on society’s obsession with the culture of celebrity. When Chloe, an intrepid young journalist, goes on a mission to get to the truth behind the headlines, she’s lured deep inside a fickle world of betrayal. It quickly becomes evident that instead of seeking virtue or talents in celebrities, society prefers those who are likely to break ethical boundaries in public. In other words, infamy is the new fame.

That chestnut sets the stage for a procession of increasingly erotic encounters. Paige Ashley stars as the enterprising Chloe, performing a sensual couples scene with newcomer Kai Taylor before sharing her love and lust with Jamie Barry in an energetic and emotional tryst. She even gets to taste a little fame of her own by going down slow on macho Seb in a sensual staircase encounter.

Ashley shares the screen with Honey Demon, Holly D., Havana Sin, Hannah Shaw and Tammie.

“JoyBear films always feature strong, self-assured female characters,” producer, director and owner Justin Ribeiro said. “Interestingly, despite her impressive performance, Paige Ashley wasn’t our first choice to portray Chloe. But now that the film is complete, I am delighted she ended up playing the central character. She is a typical sassy, sparky London chick with an inquisitive mind, and she typified our idea for Chloe.”

Witty, explicit, and beautifully lensed, Chloe’s Column: Fuck Fame gives stateside viewers a compelling introduction to the unique films critics like Porn Valley Vantage‘s Dr. Chauntelle credit with “setting the pace for a new, pioneering sort of adult content.”
