CHATSWORTH, Calif.—With clinking glasses and showers of champagne, AVN Media Network has launched its website for the 2013 AVN Awards, which marks the year when the porn industry’s biggest gala event hits the big 3-0. The event takes place Saturday, January 19 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. On the newly launched site, fans will find photos of adult megastars Jesse Jane and Asa Akira, the hosts of the 2013 awards ceremony, frolicking in fountains of bubbly—fitting imagery to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the industry's premier awards show. The site features biographies of both Asa Akira and Jesse Jane, lists of past award winners, and a timeline marking the various changes in venue that have occurred over the AVN Awards Show’s three-decade-long history.
