NOTE: THIS STORY HAS BEEN CORRECTED
BRIANNA FROST of MTV's "The Girls of Hedsor Hall," can be seen in a lascivious webcam video backed by Rihanna's "Disturbia," posted on PornHub.com.
On Tuesday we told you that local gal Frost, 21, had posed nude on GirlsofPhilly.com. Once the story appeared, we heard from Frost, who was upset that we promoted that Web site and not her own new site, BriannaFrost.com, which, as with Girls of Philly, is not suitable for viewing at work.
"For the record this is why I'm moving to AZ," Frost wrote. The former Penn State student says she "can't stand people blogging and writing s--- about me anymore, telling others to go to another site to see me . . . nude."
It was former PhillyGossip. com commenter SteakWith, who later became Commandor SW, who deserves credit for the video find. And in fairness to Frost, after you watch that video, be sure to check out BriannaFrost.com.
Out and about
* Sen. Arlen Specter bumped
elbows yesterday with 103.9's Big City, aka Ron Goodwin, and pro wrestler Eric "The Smoke" Moran at a reception at Bochetto & Lentz law firm. It was arranged by Kevon Glickman, who runs the new B&L entertainment-law division, and Dr. Janice Hollis, a pastor and writer. Other attendees included realty agent Deloris Jordan, sister of basketball legend Michael Jordan, and pros from the film- and-record industry.
* It wasn't a proposal, but the
crowd at Union Trust (717 Chestnut) still gave a standing ovation Saturday night when Jessiah Styles presented his wife, 100.3 the Beat's Janita Jones Styles, with a diamond ring as the pair ate dinner. Jessiah, nicknamed "Milk," is a brand and business consultant for HBO's "The Black List," and has secured a retail arrangement for the documentary in Target stores. Union Trust
co-owner John Frankowski took the ring from Jessiah and had it presented on top of the couple's dessert of carrot cake.
* ESPN NBA analyst and former Inquirer columnist Stephen A. Smith lunched at the Palm (200 S. Broad) yesterday.
