Monique Alexander was born on May 26th, 1982 in Vallejo, California, which is a small town located in the San Francisco Bay Area on the northern shore of San Pablo Bay. Monique began working in the adult industry as a stripper in Sacramento when she was 18 years old. Within a year should would start nude modeling and doing adult movies but only doing solo or lesbian scenes.

In 2004 Monique signed with Vivid Entertainment and became and infamous Vivid Girl. Things started off rather slow for Monique Alexander while at Vivid but within a year she decided to change from doing only girl – girl (lesbian) scenes to going all the way hardcore and doing boy / girl stuff. Within a few years she would become one of the most beloved Vivid girls, often called up to do special projects and speaking engagements, such as the time she spoke at Yale University on the subject of sex alongside Ron Jeremy. Although best known as Monique Alexander to her fans, she has also been known by the names of Monique, Briana Burke, and Alexandra when dancing.

Happy Birthday goes out today to the one and only little Monique Alexander. She was born on this day, May 26, 1982.  Monique Alexander was born in Vallejo, California and to this day still lives rather near there.  Monique Alexander began her career specializing in girl on girl trysts and would later go on to become a Vivid girl, taking on several well known porn studs.

Monigue Alexander is a first round nominee for Favorite Ass for this year’s F.A.M.E. awards. She was also a 2008 nominee for the same award, and for the category of Favorite Female Starlet. In 2007 Monique was nominated for Favorite Female Starlet and for the Hottest Body category. In 2006 Monique was a nominee for Favorite Adult Actress and for Hottest Body.  Monique Alexander has yet to make it passed the first round of voting and has yet to win a F.A.M.E. award!

First round voting for the 2009 awards is from February 15th unti April 26th. The award winners will be announced live at the L.A. Convention Center in Los Angles on June 13th. The F.A.M.E. awards are the first truly interactive adult award event ever decided by fans. This is it’s fourth year.

The highly anticipated 2009 AVN award winners were announced live on-stage January 10, at the Mandalay Bay Events center in Las Vegas.  The Best Film nominees were:

• Burn starring Jenna Jameson
  
• The Chauffeur’s Daughter starring Lanny Barby
  
• Cry Wolf starring Monique Alexander
  
• House Pets
• Paid Companions
• X2

The 2009 winner for Best Film went to Cry Wolf, by Vivid Entertainment Group, starring Monique Alexander and directed by Paul Thomas. Consequently, last year’s 2008 winner, Layout, was also by Vivid Enertainmnet Group, along with the 2006, 2005, 2004, 2002, 2000, 1998, 1997, and 1992 winners. It is obvious that Vivid is a giant force in the adult film industry.

Monique Alexander and Paul Thomas accepted the award on-stage, looking like a rather odd couple, with Paul seeming so scholarly and Monique looking like a teenaged punk-rocker. However, it’s quite obvious that when the two get together they make magic, as seen in the film Cry Wolf.

Today we can say HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONIQUE ALEXANDER as she was born on May 26, 1982. Monique Alexander began working as a stripper in Sacramento when she was 18. She appeared in several adult magazines, then started performing in adult films in 2001, and in 2004 Monique Alexander landed an exclusive contract with Vivid Entertainment. After years of appearing only in girl-girl scenes, she began appearing in boy-girl scenes in 2005, including an interactive film and a feature role with Rocco Siffredi in Vivid’s Lexie and Monique Love Rocco. To celebrate Monique Alexander’s birthday we have 19 sexy photos for you to enjoy.

With all the adult movies that come out each month, we sometimes forget to look at who the hot girls are that star in each of these new titles so this week instead of a list of hot selling DVDs, I decided to list off some of the hottest porn stars. Here is my list of the top 20 Porn Stars based on their popularity with search engines. Meaning how many people in any given month search for the specific porn star listed.  If you are interested in keeping up with top porn stars you might like Fame Registry.  They keep a more up to date list based on a variety of criteria.

Jenna Jameson

Jenna Jameson may be retired but she’s still #1 when it comes to the fans with an amazing four times the amount of searches than our #2 starlet.

Tera Patrick

Now that Jenna Jameson has retired most of the top gigs are going to Tera Patrick and she is quickly rising in popularity, although truth be told she’s been in the number two spot for years so she was already sitting pretty.

Briana Banks

Briana Banks is the hot leggy blonde who the fans seem to love! Briana Banks ranks extremely close in popularity to Tera Patrick. The different between the two girls is less than 2,000. Some say that if Briana Banks didn’t take time off to get over her divorce from Bobby Vitale and clean up from ummm “other” thing, she would have by far surpassed Tera Patrick by now.

Amy Reid

Much to my surprise, the next name on the list of top porn stars is Amy Reid. This little cutie isn’t a famous Vivid girl, nor does she work for any big company. She has carved out a name for herself totally on her own and that is pretty darn impressive.

Sylvia Saint

Sylvia Saint has been in the business awhile now and as a result has legions of die hard fans, so it was no surprise when she ended up on the list of top porn stars.

Eva Angelina

Eva Angelina is giving the big named girls a run for their money. Her popularity continues to soar and at this rate I have no doubt she’ll be topping the list within a year or so. She’s super hot, a hard worker and really knows what her fans like to see her do!

Devon

Devon has been around since 1998 and her years of experience really shows when it comes to her work on camera. Her fans love her. The camera loves her. She is Devon. A true goddess in every sense of the word.

Tory Lane

Tory Lane is ferocious on screen. Her love making scenes at times can leave you going, omg how the hell did she do that? Especially when it comes to anal sex. Tory Lane loves cock and every scene she’s ever been in shows just how much.

Kira Kener

If you are looking for an exotic beauty, look no further than the lovely Kira Kener. Although she is no longer with Vivid, much of her fan base remains and looks forward to her return to adult film making.

Lanny Barby

Lanny Barby (aka Lanny Barbie) is probably the fastest growing porn star in terms on Internet popularity. One look at her amazing body and you will know why. Lanny Barby is one of the newer Vivd girls, Lanny Barby is one porn star you will want to check out.

Nina Mercedez

This lovely Latina is recently started her own movie production company and is said to be doing quite well with it. What we do know for sure is that she continues to be one of the top performing porn stars and one lusty Latina we all want to salsa dance with.

Sunny Leone

Sunny Leone is the world’s most famous porn star of Indian heritage. On top of her porn fame Sunny Leone once was asked to be a red carpet reporter for the awards show for MTV India and recently signed on to do a real movie made in Bollywood (India’s own version of Hollywood).

Tawny Roberts

Tawny Roberts is no doubt one of the hottest blondes in the business. Add to that her sweet southern charm and you can’t help but fall in love with her. Despite retiring from performing some two years ago, Tawny Roberts remains in the top. This speaks loudly for how die hard her fans are.

Monica Sweetheart

Monica Sweetheart is an industry veteran now with 8 years behind her and more than 250 titles. Born in Czechoslovakia, this little hottie has proven she has staying power.

Janine

Janine has been around longer than really anyone else on the list and after all these years still remains top of her game. Janine started out performing in lesbian only flicks but just a few years ago changed that and took on some studs. Janine has been a fan favorite from almost the very first movie she ever did and has stayed in the top of the charts for the entire span of her very long adult career.

Sunrise Adams

When you think of a cute little blonde from the south, you can’t help but think of Sunrise Adams with her soft eyes and big smile. Best known probably as the neice of porn star Sunset Thomas, Sunrise Adams is fast becoming a mega star in her own right.

Tiffany Taylor

Tiffany Taylor was in the industry from 2004 to 2007, during which time it is estimated she did about 90 movies. This is amazing considering that your average Vivid Girl does about 6 or 7 per year. Tiffany is now living in Florida attending college but luckily we still have all of her super hot sexy movies to remember her by.

Savanna Samson

Savanna Samson is probably the hardest working Vivid Girl the company has right now. She seems to star in more movies for Vivid than any of their other contract girl they have and she has even written a script or two and has plans on a career directing movies as well.

Monique Alexander

Monique Alexander seems to be Vivid’s favorite star right now as they seem to give her all the choice rolls. She signed with them in 2004 and has been with them every since.

Lucy Lee

Lucy Lee seems to be the top Asian star right now in the business. Lucy Lee is said to have chose her stage name of Lucy Lee as everybody was calling her Lucy Liu because of the resemblance to the actress. She decided on Lee as a last name because it is Korean and that is her heritage. Although most asian girls typically have a small frame including small breasts, not so with Lucy Lee. Although she is very tiny, not so much with her enhanced breasts. They are more Pamela Anderson than Lucy Liu like.

The winners for the 2008 AVN Awards have been announced and they are listed for you below. The AVN award show was held January 12, 2008 in Las Vegas.
