The Players Ball Celebrates 10 Years

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — After the 6th Annual XBIZ Awards wrapped, honoring the best and brightest in the adult entertainment community, it was time for the players to play. D-Money’s official after-party was the place to see and be seen as Lil Jon brought some dirty south bump-and-grind to up the party quotient.

The 10th Anniversary Players Ball party kicked off right after the star-studded 6th Annual XBIZ Awards. More than 22 go-go dancers (courtesy of CE Cash) shook their moneymakers as multiplatinum recording artist and “crunkmaster” Lil Jon stepped behind the wheels of steel to DJ for the crowd that was still in major party mode.

When Lil Jon yelled our his signature catchphrase, “Yeahhh!” on the mic, you knew the party was in full swing.

“The combination of Lil Jon’s presence, his microphone personality, his sensational ability to know his audience and play music for them, sprinkled with the hottest go-go dancers you’ve ever seen — The Players Ball was off the hook,” The Players Ball founder D-Money told XBIZ. “The mix between being able to network, dance to great music, beautiful porn stars and industry vets created the perfect vibe.”

In addition to the bevy of adult stars in attendance, boldfaced guests included Bishop Don Magic Juan, rapper/producer Sleepy Brown, rappers from Doghouse Records, TMZ.com’s Mike Walters and Wired Magazine’s Dave Kushner.

“I haven’t seen this many pimp cups in one room since the time CCBill bought their whole staff these cups for the 2005 Players Ball,” D-Money said. “Between Lil Jon, Don Magic Juan, KBizzle and my boss player cup, Lil Jon's cup got him the most drunk. He loves that Patron. Now I can see why he has two sides to him.”

The Players Ball was sponsored by AEBN, GTBill, SugarDVD and CE Cash. Over the past 10 years The Players Ball has featured the biggest names in hip-hop including Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, Xzibit, Ice Cube, Too Short, Flava Flav and Ice-T.

“I think XBIZ did an amazing job with the entire show,” D-Money said. “The players came out, everyone did great business and parties were amazing. XBIZ is definitely one of the premiere shows today, that’s why I decided to throw this Players Ball. This was the first one we've thrown during this trade show. I'll definitely do it again next year too.”

Many adult stars stayed after the awards to continue the party. Spotted in the crowd were Ashlynn Brooke, Jenny Hendrix, Tera Patrick, Penny Flame, Amber Lynn, Sunny Lane, Jesse Jane, Stoya, Adrianna Lynn, Raven Riley, Trisha Uptown, Casey Parker, Teagan Presley, Memphis Monroe, Brooke Haven, Gianna Lynn, Nikki Benz, Puma Swede, Lela Star, Aria Giovanna, Aimee Sweet, Ashley Fires, Kayden Kross, Eva Angelina, Monica Mayhem, Bree Olson, Charlotte Stokely, Tera Wray and Flower Tucci.
