![]() His “Alien Autopsy” adventuring was a great example of this. ![]() This would lead Guccione to pay millions for access to what usually ended up being a hoax. He also became more and more enticed by the thrill of conspiracy, real or imagined. The magazine started featuring a larger number of Porn actresses as Pets. It was a move that didn’t go the way he planned. Guccione decided he would return to his roots, and go harder and more explicit than Playboy was willing. The beleaguered magazine had lost it’s lead over Playboy due to the scandals of the 80s. The 90s saw a change in direction for Penthouse.

The current info is that Penthouse will continue as an online only entity. The empire Guccioni and Keaton had built folded and eventually was sold. Penthouse was VERY late to the party online, and by the time they arrived there was little money left to be made. It was odd for a man who so loved technology to so completely miss the cues regarding the internet. She had been a firm hand on the tiller of the magazine since the 1960s and without her guidance, Guccioni lost direction, and it seemed the passion to continue.

Embattled figure skater Tonya Harding had a “Leaked” sex tape that was supposed to be from her wedding night. Their next sex tape escapade proved profitable but further hurt Guccione’s credibility. They did triumph when Pet Corrine Alphen landed a lead role in the John Landis film “Amazon Women on the Moon”, and again when they scooped the world with the leaked Pam Anderson / Tommy Lee sex tape.
