I think she is married (or dating) to Bobby Vitale still. I don't know if she is retired, but the rumor mill has been suggesting that they are both addicted to coke. Of course, those are just rumors.
Fayner (or whoever) "reported" that Bobby had gotten into a bad car accident a year or so ago, and since they were working exclusively together at the time (or close to exclusive) that might explain it. Or maybe she spontaneously combusted. Hot girls are at the highest risk for that, I hear.
Her "disappearance", compared to what we used to see, is directly attributable to becoming a Vivid contract girl. There used to be at least one Briana new release every week. Now the releases are barely monthly.
As far as Recondite2's comment regarding rumors, I have no idea whether any rumors are true or not. But in recent movies, she is skinnier than ever. Her arms & legs are just skin & bones and her ass is now just a place where the legs meet. There's nothing there.
If she has a problem, I hope she gets help. She was one of my favorites.
I've been a big Briana Fan for a long time too. I don't know the thread off hand, but one or so fellow ADTers said that they saw Bobby Vitale and Briana at one of the conventions earlier in the year, and Bobby was in a wheel chair but he was not incredibly badly injured like the rumours had suggested.
I think Bill has it on the money, and it is just more a factor of the vivid girl thing than anything else. That is pretty much the way they all have gone of late. Sunrise, Taylor Hayes, Savanna, and even Tera Patrick already, they just seem to only do a scant few movies a year after a while and basically keep up some of thier porn celebrity but go into semi retirement.
I think I read somewhere a while back that Briana had her vivid contract structured so it did taper off quite a bit towards the end, like in the first year it was 15 movies or something and then 11 the next and then dropping down to 5 or 6 in year 3 or 4.
As far as the rumours go, I don't know anything about that, but I think it gets thrown around far too much that this one or that one is a crack addict or whatever. I know there is a fair amount of drug abuse in the porn industry, but it is far too common now a days to just pass off a star that is MIA for a while as a drug addict, and some of those reporter people need to get some better strength to thier story before throwing that shit around.
I'm not saying briana has a problem or does not have a problem, I have no clue I just don't like to jump to conclusions about people without acceptable knowledge.
Bill, you say she looks skinnier in her more recent work? do you remember any of the titles that she looks that way? I'm not saying she doesn't look skinnier, but I just checked out Blond and Blonder which was released this year and I believe is one of her most recent films, and her legs and arms in particular look quite a bit meatier to be honest, her body looks much better balanced than it did in her early and even most of the later vivid work, so I was just curious which films you were using for that statement.
Anyway hope to see more of her and hope she is doing well.
I thought that she looked horrific in the first scene in Blonde & Blonder. Especially her legs & ass. When I watched that, it was because I was in the mood to see a Briana scene. I ended up turning that disc off and watched one of her older scenes instead.
Take a look at the size of her thighs in these two screen shots from Blonde & Blonder
shot 1 (where you can also see that she's missing an ass)
I must have gotten confused on which movie I was watching, because you are most definately correct there. She is way too skinny. I have a lot of her movies and I must of been watching something else. My bad. That is rather worrying with those shots there. Thanks for straightening me out.

Briana and Bobby actually did an interview (I believe with Fayner)where they both admitted being addicted to coke and/or crack, but that it was in the past. This was a few months back. It was a legit interview, and they both also spoke about Bobby's injuries, which seemed quite severe, to the point where he had to wear a piss and shit bag(forgot what it's actually called). Briana took time off to help him with his healing.
I don't know what's going on now, but if she's not doing movies and is still rail thin, then there-in (probably) lies your answer.
I remember Brianna when she went by Mirage, like 4 years ago. Even back then she was skinny. In one of her early scenes with Max, her legs looked like the way they do here in these pictures.
Briana is Not with Bobby Vitale anymore, "Thank God". She was with Skeeter and I the night they got together in January of 2001. Briana is looking hot and doing wonderful/ She is in Budapest right now, doing a scene with Rocco, for Vivid. Last tuesday Skeeter directed his first movie for Vivid with Briana Banks and Tera Patrick. He shot the girls on tuesday and weds., Briana did lots of anal, butt-plugs and dildos. She had lots of cock deep in her ass. Brianna is the "Most Booked feature dancer and certainly one of the highest paid. Briana started porn in october of 1998. I have been friends with her since feb. 1999. Skeeter will be directing Briana again before december. Bridgette Kerkove
"I just got home after a long day on the set. Today was the first day of shooting Collision Course the movie also staring Brianna Banks.
It was a hot day in Malibu, hot and sweaty. We shot in a beautiful mansion high up in the mountains with the most amazing view of the ocean. Our movie is being directed by Skeeter kerkove who is known for his super nasty movies. I was real excited about fucking today , my pussy was already super wet but I was going to wait.
Brianna was up first. She was amazing to watch, she took a big dick in her ass and loved it. I loved hearing her shout for more!!"
Thanks BK and Monstar, very good to hear those things. So sounds like her feature dancing is maybe more of the reason we have not seen to much of her. I'm glad to hear she is not with Bobby Vitale anymore too.
Thanks Bridgette and monstar for the great infos! Brianna and Rocco - uhm, that sounds promising. Not that I'm a big fan of Rocco, but it's surely not worse than with Bobby.

Did I hear you right??? Skeeter is shooting movies for Vivid?!?!?
Nobody forces you to buy these movies. I will, especially if Briana stars. I'm sure he'll still do a lot of gonzo for other companies. I'm anxious to see what the combination of Vivid & Skeeter will result in.

That's odd, I don't recall suggesting that they did...Good for you. I won't.One would hope so.It's certainly an interesting combination... The "King of Sodom", a man whose movies to date have have heavily featured ATM, ATOGM, Anal creampies and double anal, working for condom-only "couples porn" Vivid.
The point of my previous post was to remark on what an extraordinarily unlikely situation this is. What the hell, I might rent the first movie out of sheer curiorisity. I really don't see how Skeeter can hit the same level of raunchiness within the limitations of Vivid, but it'll be interesting to see him try.
I'm sure his unique talent for putting the girls at ease and getting the most out of them will help. Skeeter is the one director I have seen who really comes across as worshipping women.
Rocco and Vivid??!! I guess it's true that Rocco is going soft. Moment of silence please .........................
Ok, so we had heard about Rocco going soft, but Skeeter too? Or is it possible that Vivid is turning to more hardcore stuff. I wouldn't mind seeing some of those Vivid contract girls getting their asses thoroughly fucked by Rocco.
Rocco has done several scenes with Vivid in the past. he has shot with Chasey Lain, Jenteal, Taylor Hayes, Jenna Jameson and a few others if not mistaken in the "(insert name) love Rocco" Movies... some of the better Vivid movies by the way...
As for the other thing with Skeeter directing movies for Vivid.... Why shouldn't he? Vivid can offer him more money than some of the other companies can, and he needs to make a living as well. I am sure he is going to make the movie as nasty as he can while sticking to or stretching the Vivid boundaries... I know I remember Savanna and a few others were trying to get the company to go in the harder direction...
As for Briana.... She is pretty thin in those screen caps.. and from what Bridgette said she is looking better now. Maybe its a good thing she got away from Bobby.. who knows
Will the Rocco-Brianna scenes being shot now in Budapest be condom-only? That's fine with me if they are; I've watched his previous Vivid scenes from the early-mid 1990's, where he wore a condom, and he performed just fine.

She's off being a secret agent for the government. At least that's what she does in the book I'm writing
Roco's work with the oft-forgotten but ultra-hot Celeste for Vivid is, I think I recall reading, some of his own favorite stuff. I'm particularly fond of the bbg in Troublemaker, which I believe is non-condom, for those for whom that is a major preference.
Skeeter had Briana do five differant anal positions, 5 is alot! Five differant blow job positions with some romantic deep throat and full throat fucking, a little ATM, just for good measure. The one scene was performed on concrete steps at the foot of the beautiful mansion. Every single drop of cum was swallowed. The movie was beautifully shot, very beautiful locations, lots of hardcore erotic sex. Vanessa Lane did numerous D.P. positions and lots of ATM. It is a real peach of movie, Skeeter had a really good time filming the movie. Bridgette Kerkove xoxo
