Pornhub doesn't want to be known just as your go-to website when you're looking for some me-time. They also want to expand their content offering to include informative documentaries and other non-pornographic films, and that all begins with the official launch of Shakedown, an hour-long movie that debuted on the adult entertainment platform this week.
Leilah Weinraub, the director of Shakedown, has been working on this film for over fifteen years, beginning the process in 2002. Weinraub has collected an extensive amount of footage related to the lesbian strip club scene in Los Angeles during the early 2000s, which guides the premise of the documentary.

According to Variety, Shakedown looks at the men and women who visited lesbian strip clubs in the early aughts, offering a "humorous, sensual and informative" look at the subculture. It will be streaming for free on Pornhub for the entire month of March, earning its very own stylized page on the platform.
This is a big move for Pornhub, who hosted a reported 42 billion separate visits on the site last year. Expanding into the documentary realm will only help to further their goal of informing the general public about sexual health and sex work, beginning with Shakedown.
Steven Spielberg "Embarrassed" By Daughter’s Porn Star Goals
Steven Spielberg is reportedly both embarrassed and concerned by his daughter Mikaela Spielberg’s aspirations to embark on a career in amateur porn.
When news hit last week that Mikaela Spielberg, daughter of famed director Steven Spielberg, is launching a career in amateur porn, many people were very intrigued by what her Hollywood famous dad would think. Although Mikaela initially reported that he was supportive of her latest career choice, it now seems like that may have been the total opposite of his feelings of his baby girl becoming the next Montana Fishburne.

Mikaela, seen posing in the picture above on the left with her adoptive mother, actress Kate Capshaw (center) and sister Destry Allyn Spielberg (right) back in 2013, has already began teasing her X-rated content the IG handle @vandal_princess. According to Page Six, her dad, famous for bringing us films like Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and the upcoming film adaptation of West Side Story, isn’t exactly “intrigued” as Mikaela exclusively revealed to The Sun in her initial revelation.
Here’s what Page Six is reporting a family friend of the Spielbergs:
“Outwardly, Steven and Kate — who are the most evolved parents in the world and love their kids beyond all measure — have always been supportive of Mikaela and try to understand her,” said the family friend. “Obviously, though, they’re embarrassed by her sudden public admission of entry into the sex worker world.”
While the “family friend” also notes that the 23-year-old’s decision to do porn isn’t exactly messing with Steven Spielberg’s “immaculate reputation,” the concern mainly lies in how it’ll affect the other six kids, stating, “This certainly isn’t how they were raised.”

Steven Spielberg’s Daughter Is A Porn Star
Steven Spielberg’s daughter, Mikaela Spielberg, explains why she decided to begin her career in the adult entertainment industry.
Mikaela Spielberg is officially getting started in the film industry but, instead of making blockbusters like her father Steven Spielberg, she’s going the adult entertainment route, taking advantage of her body and self-producing porn flicks.
23-year-old Mikaela Spielberg, who was adopted as a baby by the legendary film director, has begun self-producing her own solo sex movies, taking an interest in becoming a stripper as well. After contemplating how she wanted to live her life, Spielberg decided that she wanted to embrace her status as a “sexual creature,” telling The Sun about her life goals.
“I got really tired of not being able to capitalize on my body and frankly, I got really tired of being told to hate my body,” she said in an interview with the publication. “And I also just got tired of working day to day in a way that wasn’t satisfying my soul. I feel like doing this kind of work, I’m able to ‘satisfy’ other people, but that feels good because it’s not in a way that makes me feel violated.”
The Nashville resident informed her parents of her career move recently, shortly after making the announcement on social media. “This is a positive, empowering choice, I realized there is no shame in having a fascination with this industry and wanting to do something that is safe, sane, consensual,” she said.
Spielberg notes that she would be open to self-producing fetish videos but she will not be engaging in sexual intercourse with another man on-screen, out of respect to her 47-year-old fiancé Chuck Pankow. She will be using the name Sugar Star on websites like Pornhub, where she has already shared some of her clips.
What do you think of her decision to start a career in porn?
