AVN reports that publicist Janie Liszewski has left the adult industry and her company High Profile Media to embark on a new chapter of her career. Effective immediately, Liszewski will be the exclusive PR rep for rocker Eddie Van Halen.

"This new venture does not allow me to do publicity in adult any longer," Liszewski explained to AVN.com last month, "but I want the opportunity to thank all of those who chose HPM for PR and also to all of the media, as I have worked in adult in several capacities since I was 18, and have made many good friends."

Liszewski met up with the VAN HALEN organization while working on the publicity for director Michael Ninn's "Sacred Sin" (Ninn Worx), for which Eddie Van Halen composed two songs.

The publicist's current slate includes the upcoming VAN HALEN tour scheduled for summer 2007. "I am so excited to be given the opportunity to work with such a legendary musical force and look forward to going on the road this summer," she added. "Obviously this is a dream come true in many capacities. I would like to thank everyone for all of their support for so many years."
