Just wondering. Are there any active porn stars more famous than Alexis right now? Not counting Ron Jeremy.

The famous concept just doesn't work anymore.
The internet is saturated with porn and girls.
Vanessa Chase and Alisha Klass were famous to me in 1995 because I had to actually drive to a store and sort thru VHS tapes to find them. It was no sure thing.
Different scene now. Like a bowl of Wheaties. Are Wheaties famous?

I wouldn't say she is the most famous as she haven't shoot a scene for god knows how long, but she spend her time being a feature dancer as u can read by her twitter she is in a new town every weekend.
But we also have the flavor of the month as in belle knox as her star rose only because she descided to do porn because to finance her college studies.
But If would say who is the most famous it would be nikki benz

If I were to go by Twitter followers and net worth for most famous, not including males. It would be
1. Lisa Ann
2. Alexis Texas
3. Sara Jay
4. Sophie Dee
Anything wrong with this list?

I'd say Lisa Ann is easily the biggest name in porn. Lisa shoots much more scenes, has had movies devoted to just her from many studios, is director for her own line of movies for one of the top lines in the biz (JULES JORDAN). Lisa has work for far more companies/studios and has a much more diverse group of fans. Lisa has fans in the big breast, big butt, IR, anal, gangbang, feature, and hardcore genres. Lisa has work for pretty much al the major studios. Lisa has been on far more boxcovers. Lisa has more mainstream recognition from her Sarah Palin spoofs. Lisa's name comes up in mainstream from her association with various mainstream celebs.
Alexis Texas hasn't done most of the things I've named above. Not to say she isn't a big name in porn or isn't popular...she just isn't in Lisa's league of popularity.

Maybe Lisa Ann has done a bit too much as strange as that might sound. Not saying she's over exposed but once you seen her do it all, is it such a thrill to watch her do it over and over again?
Maybe there a difference between populaity and being a big name. I would say Jenna Jameson and Tera Patrick are probably still two of the biggest names in porn ever yet they hardly did half the work that you mentioned

If you used ADT's popular topics as your gauge, I'd say Mia Malkova is the biggest name in porn presently.

If you go by freeones from yesterday, Asa Akira is the most popular.
freeones last week, it's Lola Foxx. Same for last 30 days. And last 90 days.
But freeones most popular for the last year is Jayden Jaymes.
Most popular according to adultdvdempire is August Ames.
I don't think there's any way to determine the consensus most popular porn star.

Only if you're the type of fan who tries to watch everything she does. If not, then probably there won't be that kind of burnout. I would image her fans her feature work don't follow her to watch her harder stuff like gangbangs and such. Her IR fans probably don't care about seeing her her VIVID and SWEET SINNER stuff. Most fans of JULES JORDAN stuff my might buy her NAUGHTY AMERICA stuff. I think the key to real success in porn is to have a diverse fanbase and be able to appeal to jump around to different genres in porn and not wear out your welcome in any one specific genre.
Or...on the flipside...if a person gets tired of seeing her in one type of genre they can watch her do something else. If someone is growing tired of her EVIL ANGEL work they get a different type of performance from her BRAZZERS stuff. Etc., etc...
That's something Alexis can't/doesn't do nearly as well.
Jenna and Tera's "big name" came from mostly from their being more well known in the mainstream. With Jenna in particular her porn was marketed to heavily to the mainstream during a time when porn like the kind she starred in was sold in locations that harder edged stuff wasn't. Plus in most stores I seen her movies she had her own section devoted entirely to her movies. Lisa Ann (or a few others I could name) has become popular by appealling to porn fans through her hard work of building her fanbase by doing the type of porn they want to see. Lisa did it by doing good work for many different companies. Jenna did it by having one of the biggest companies in porn behind her marketing her to the masses.
If both Lisa and Jenna started in porn today both in their prime Lisa would rise to the top again and Jenna wouldn't have anywhere near the success she had before and would have more of a niche audience where she only appeals to a certain type of fan.
I'm not an over the top Lisa Ann fan but I do admire what's she done with her career in porn and think she's a great performer and businesswoman.

Lisa Ann is definitely one of the most popular/biggest names. If we're talking about the biggest name in terms of porn fans who regularly watch porn, I would say Jada Stevens might be the top one, as she shoots everything and for many studios.
If we're including porn fans who don't really watch much porn but are still aware, I would say Sasha Gray is a very popular name for even those who hardly watch porn.

When it comes to fame, and fame only, I'd say Larry Flynt. I also think this is the biggest name.

Whats with all this Twitter crap? Twitter only gives you the number of people willing to let the world know what pornstars they are following, hence the low numbers.
A better ranking can be found here http://www.freeones.com/baberank/ as it's based on what girls people are actually looking up online.
The current top 20 are:
Asa Akira
Gianna Michaels
Madison Ivy
Sandee Westgate
August Ames
Aletta Ocean
Jayden Jaymes
Nina Mercedez
Nicole Aniston
Siri
Little Caprice
Amy Anderssen
Kagney Linn Karter
Lola Foxx
Catalina Cruz
Alina Li
Lisa Ann
Phoenix Marie
Whitney Westgate
Tori Black
The thing I find sad about this list is the number of girls on it with plastic surgery. But I guess that is to be expected since most people are poor and studies show financially insecure men prefer women with larger breasts.

^ I can't link it because it's a tube site but on [mod edit: name of tube site removed. Let's not encourage ppl to go to those sites.], it says the most popular/searched pornstars are
1. Lisa Ann
2. Alexis Texas
3. Sophie Dee
4. Esperanza Gomez
5. Jynx Maze
6. Sara Jay
7. Gianna Michaels
8. Abella Anderson
9. Madison Ivy
10. Christy Mack
Or if you're just trying to see whose the most searched online to gauge popularity you can always use google trends. Using 5 of the names posted here, this is how those 5 names rank against each other

1. Lisa Ann
2. Sasha Grey

Thats ok, I didn't know who Lisa Ann was until this thread but now it's obvious to me she's the most popular current star or at least top 3. Alexis is up there as well. At least top 5.

I'm not sure there are a lot of popular pornstars out there , especially now that there are so many niches with star who especially do what is requested , also although much less active none of you mentioned Nina Hartley but she is at least at Lisa's Level of popularity
And as I said many porn consumers in Europe don't know who Alexis Texas is but all of them know about Lisa Ann, Julia Ann, Sasha Grey, Stoya, Nina Hartley , Bree Olson , India Summer, Tori Black , Annette Schwarz, Bobbi Starr , Aurora Snow, Silvia Saint and a lot of Eurobabes of course

When I put those names in google trends, only Lisa Ann and Sasha Grey surpass Alexis Texas for most searches. Texas also has more twitter followers and money than most you said. She's also been covered by mainstream news source TMZ. I don't know about Europe, but Alexis is definitely a top name in America above almost every name you said.

^So...are you trying to win a bet, or planning to invest in pornstar futures, or planning to open a porn shop or something? Just wondering. It's a mildly interesting piece of trivia, but that's about it IMO.

So ?
both my brothers know of porn none of them google any name also Google has local Standards , If Alexis Texas is so high as you said considering that very few search for her in Europe but many search for Lisa Ann then ,in the States, Alexis must be bigger than the planet itself especially considering that she's not performing , she tours for feature dancing though , so maybe all those researches are meant to know her touring dates and locations but then it's not porn. strictly speaking.
I don't think she makes more money than those I mentioned I mean she's not performing , how do you get a big brass if you don't go fishing?

I think Lisa Ann is possibly the most overrated porn star of all time. Definitely near the top of the list. She might be one of the best known, though, as she has managed to make something of a name for herself in the non-porn mainstream media. To answer the OP's question, Alexis Texas is not, never was, and never will be near the top of the "most famous" list.

^^ I'd say Jenna Haze grabs the "most overrated" title. There's nothing interesting about her and she's kinda plain looking. I don't see the big deal about her.
To answer the question: NO, Alexis Texas is definitely not the biggest name in porn right now. (She hasn't been popular in a long time anyway.)

Far as I can tell Jenna Haze was in porn for awhile and not that big of a deal until she did JENNA HAZE DARKSIDE (or whatever it was called) and then suddenly she was a big deal in porn. She doesn't do much for me but I guess she's a good performer. Hard for me to tell because if I'm not into a girl it doesn't matter how great her performances are I have no interest.

Well, this thread has proven one thing to be true, namely, that there are a lot of bullshit lists around that don't come close to accurately ranking pornstar popularity.
For example ADT member vollenweider says "a better ranking" can be found at freeones.com/baberank/ and he lists its current top 20.
That list has no credibility since it includes relative unknowns like Little Caprice, Sandee Westgate, and Whitney Westgate, (are the Westgates, maybe a sister act?) while just
incredibly, leaving off such famous (and top selling) female porn icons as Remy LaCroix, Riley Reid, Jessie Andrews, Jesse Jane, Dani Daniels, and India Summer.
I'm not trying to be mean vollenweider, but I have to suspect that you could have been under the influence of some mind altering substance to think that the list you posted is even close to being valid. Don't know if you were smoking grass, but if so, you're fortunate enough to be getting much better stuff than is available here.
Anyway, let me put my money where my mouth is by posting a top 12 pornstar list that I think mostly hits the target. It's CNBC's Dirty Dozen which was compiled back in January.
My source had the 12 women listed alphabetically by last names, so here goes:
Asa Akira
Anikka Albrite
Lisa Ann
Dani Daniels
Skin Diamond
Jessica Drake
Jesse Jane
Remy LaCroix
Maddy O'Reilly
Chanel Preston
Riley Reid
Bonnie Rotten
The reason this seems like a relatively legitimate list to me, is the simple fact that I actually know who every one of these women is. Mix up their names and photographs on a
page and I'd have no problem matching names with the correct photos. And, BTW, my 220 disc porn collection includes the work of 10 of these women. Scenes featuring Chanel
Preston and Bonnie Rotten are absent, probably due to the fact that most of the collection was produced before 2013, with the exception of some newer stuff with a few people
like Riley Reid and Dani Daniels.
Wanted to add one more thing regarding pornstar popularity. In covering the XBIZ Awards back in January, LA Weekly named Remy LaCroix, Riley Reid, and Jessie Andrews as
"it-girls" of today. I'd just like to know how all 3 of these famous, award winning stars, managed to be excluded from lists posted by ADT members. Especially considering the fact that all of these ladies have appeared in so many scenes for the highest profile companies, that have the biggest budgets and classiest productions. Plus these companies
are able to spend more money promoting their product than other studios can.
I just think that some of the flaky lists out there deliberately omit very popular stars in order to highlight the efforts of new people who need attention drawn to them, or to help veterans whose careers may be fading, and need a boost from this kind of attention.

^^^"I don't see the big deal about her" is what you should have started and ended with. People who rate Jenna highly obviously see something interesting about her and like her look. They are not "overrating" her either individually or collectively, but instead are rating her accurately based on their own individual likes and dislikes. What else are they supposed to do?
Same goes for Lisa Ann.

I've got no statistics or anything, only my simple reaction. I'm european and I've consumed way too much porn for decades and when I first saw this tread I had no idea who Alexis Texas is. Probably I'm outdated but maybe it's an indication that she may be big, but not dominating.

^This is easily the most intelligent response to the OP's question, IMO. Everything else is just conversation.
How do you define "biggest name?" If you know how many DVDs the girls sold, or how big their salaries were, you could rank that. You could use Twitter followers, but that would be misleading. Asa Akira, who you might assume would be the hottest star, has about 500K. But Vicky Vette has 660K and Gabby Quinteros 786K. Who's the bigger name?
I think Blackie's right -- the Web is overrun with performers, both longtime and new. Just because you may not have heard of a girl doesn't mean she's not well-known. Someone called Little Caprice, Sandee Westgate, and Whitney Westgate, (and no, they are not sisters) relatively obscure. I know who all of them are.
Unless someone can come up with an objective way of ranking these performers, all these lists of "Hottest," "Top 10," and "Best" are just an individual's opinion.

I based my Lisa Ann pick based on presence in the porn world, the most diverse amount of fans, appearances on boxcovers, the amount of movies where she's the focus, the diversity of the different studios she worked for, and her mainstream world presence. All that is easily easy to verify and I still haven't seen a name that even comes close to her on those counts.

rtj2v0a listed 19 Fleshlight Girls, and I've heard of every one of them.
So I think jim2 has really nailed it by saying "any girl who has her own line of Fleshlights has to be pretty big."
My knowledge of all the various women who do porn, is limited, compared to what a lot of my fellow ADT members know, so any category where I'm familiar with 19 out of 19 pornstars, must be one that is made up of women who have really made a name for themselves.
