The 2015 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) will have guest and world famous adult and mainstream film star James Deen to cut the ribbon that will open the 2015 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, show organizers announced today. AEE is held in conjunction with the AVN Novelty Expo (ANE) and will take place January 21-24, 2015 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, NV. To attend AEE, please visit www.avnshow.com.

“We are excited to have James Deen cut the ribbon and open the doors to what will be one of the biggest AVN Expos,” says Theo Sapoutzis CEO, AVN Media Network. “We know many of the attendees are big fans, and were excited to have him as a part of our show.”

Deen’s accomplishments extend beyond the adult industry, as mainstream reporters chronicle his popularity among the most unlikely of porn fans – young women. Popular female-oriented website Jezebel.com often reports on Deen’s large female fan-base, calling him the “permanent crush of all straight ladydom.” Deen was noted as one of the top 100 Jews in Heeb magazine in 2009 and has also been featured on CNBCs special “Porn: Business of Pleasure,” ABC’s “Nightline,” Good Magazine, The Goodmen Project, GQ Magazine, Rolling Stone, E! Entertainment, TMZ, and more. In 2012, Hollywood screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis and director Paul Schrader cast Deen opposite Lindsay Lohan in the feature film “The Canyons.”

With demand for James Deen at an all-time high, the enterprising star launched JamesDeenStore.com in December 2012. The online store is a one-stop-shop for all things Deen. In addition to featuring his movies and adult novelty line from Doc Johnson, the store stocks an eclectic array of items Deen designed and/or loves and relates to. Whether its apparel he wears, books he reads, or the sex toys of some his favorite female porn stars, every item on the site carries the James Deen stamp of approval.

While Deen takes his additional business ventures and Hollywood and indie acting roles very seriously, the adult industry remains his chosen profession. He states, “I plan to have sex on camera for as long as people want to see me naked.” Deen appreciates every ounce of the successes he has, exclaiming, “Seriously – I am the luckiest boy alive.”
