Jenna Marie Massoli was born on April 9, 1974 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Her father is Lawrence Massoli, an Italian American program director
for an NBC affiliate and a police officer. Her mother was Judith
Brooke Hunt Massoli, a Las Vegas showgirl who danced in the Folies
Bergère show at the Tropicana Resort & Casino.[3][13] Her mother died
of skin cancer on February 20, 1976, before Jenna's second birthday.
[5] The cancer treatments bankrupted the family and they moved several
times, including living in a trailer and moving in with her father's
mother. Her father spent most of his time at work at the Las Vegas
Sheriff's Department, and she became very close to her brother, Tony.
[14] She was a frequent entrant in beauty pageants as a child, and
took ballet classes.[15]
In her autobiography, Massoli writes that in October 1990, while the
family was living on a cattle ranch in Fromberg, Montana, she was
beaten with rocks and gang raped by four boys after a football game.
[14] She says she was raped a second time, while still 16, by her
boyfriend Jack's biker uncle, Preacher.[14] (Preacher has denied this.)
[16] Rather than tell her father, she left home and moved in with Jack
in her first serious relationship.[5][17]
Jack was a tattoo artist, and gave her the first of a series of
tattoos, one which would become her trademark tattoo, double hearts on
her right buttock.[6][18] According to E!, Massoli's brother Tony, who
later owned a tattoo parlor himself,[3] added the inscription "Heart
Breaker".[5]
Early career
Jenna Massoli tried to follow in her mother's career as a Las Vegas
showgirl, but most shows rejected her for not having the required
height of 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm).[11][19] She was hired at the Vegas
World show,[3] but left after two months stating that the schedule was
brutal, and the money was terrible.[17]
Massoli's boyfriend Jack encouraged her to apply for jobs as a
stripper,[4] and in 1991, though underage, she began dancing in Las
Vegas strip clubs using a fake I.D.[5][15] After she was rejected from
the Crazy Horse Too strip club because of the braces on her teeth, she
removed them with a pair of needle-nose pliers and was accepted.[6]
After six months, she was earning US$2000 per night, before finishing
high school.[5]
Her first stage name as a stripper was "Jennasis",[13] a name she
later used for incorporating as "Jennasis Entertainment".[20] She
chose the name "Jenna Jameson" to use as a model after scrolling
through the phone book for a last name that matched her first name,
before finally decided on Jameson for Jameson Whiskey, which she
drinks.[5][21]
Besides dancing, starting later in 1991, she posed for nude
photographs for photographer Suze Randall in Los Angeles, hoping to
get into Penthouse magazine.[17][22] Jameson was paid $300 per day,
without rights to the pictures. After her photos had appeared in
several men's magazines under various names,[23] Jameson stopped
working for Randall, feeling Randall was "a shark"[24] who had been
taking advantage of her.[25]
While still in high school, she began taking drugs — cocaine, LSD, and
methamphetamines — accompanied by her brother (who was addicted to
heroin[3]) and at times her father.[14] Her addiction became worse
during her four years with her boyfriend. She eventually stopped
eating properly and became too thin to model; Jack left her in 1994.
She weighed 76 pounds (less than 35 kilograms)[26] when a friend put
her in a wheelchair and sent her to her father, who was then living in
Redding, California, in order to detox; her father did not recognize
her when she got off the plane.[14]
Pornographic film career
At the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo 2007, January 12, 2007Jameson says
that she started acting in pornographic films in revenge for her
boyfriend, Jack, cheating on her.[6][17] She first appeared in an
erotic film in 1993, a non-explicit softcore movie by Andrew Blake,
[27] with girlfriend Nikki Tyler,[11] whom she had met modeling for
Suze Randall.[25] Her first pornographic movie scenes were filmed by
Randy West and appeared in 1994's Up and Cummers 10 and Up and Cummers
11.[15][28] She quickly achieved notice and appeared in several other
pornographic films while still living in Las Vegas.
Jameson got her first breast implants on July 28, 1994, to enhance her
stripping and movie careers.[29] By 2004, she had had 2 different sets
of breast implants and a chin implant.[3][30]
Jameson's first pornographic film appearances were female only lesbian
scenes. She says: "Girl-on-girl was easy and natural. Then they
offered me lots of money to do boy-girl."[11] Her first heterosexual
scene was in Up and Cummers 11 (1994).[31]At the beginning of her
career, she promised herself never to do anal sex or double
penetration scenes on film.[4] She has also never done any interracial
sex scenes with men.[32] Instead, her "signature move" was oral sex,
lubricated with plenty of saliva.[33][34]
In 1994, after overcoming her addiction by spending several weeks with
her father and grandmother, Jameson relocated to Los Angeles to live
with Nikki Tyler.[35][25] She started modeling again, and in 1995 got
her father's blessing to make a career out of pornographic films.[5]
[14] Her first movie after that was Silk Stockings.[36] Later in 1995,
Wicked Pictures, a then small pornographic film production company,
signed her to an exclusive contract.[37][6] She remembers telling
Wicked Pictures founder Steve Orenstein:
“ The most important thing to me right now is to become the biggest
star the industry has ever seen.[14][24] ”
The contract earned Jameson US$6,000 for each of eight movies in her
first year.[5] Her first big-budget production was Blue Movie (1995),
where she played a reporter investigating a porn set; it won multiple
AVN Awards.[15] In 1996, Jameson won top awards from three major
industry organizations, the XRCO Best New Starlet award, the AVN Best
New Starlet Award, and the Fans of X-Rated Entertainment (FOXE) Video
Vixen award. She was the first entertainer to win all three awards.
[15] A stream of other awards followed.
By 2001, Jameson earned $60,000 for a day and a half of filming a
single DVD, and $8,000 per night dancing at strip clubs. She tried to
restrict herself to five films per year and two weeks of dancing per
month.[38] Her husband Jay Grdina has said that she earned as much as
$25,000 per night dancing.[7]
Since November 2005, she has been the host of Playboy TV's Jenna's
American Sex Star, where prospective porn stars compete in sexual
performances for a contract with her company, ClubJenna. Winners of
the contracts for the first two years were Brea Bennett and Roxy Jezel.
[39]
In August 2007, Jameson had her breast implants removed, reducing her
from a D to a C cup; she also said she was finished with appearing on
camera in pornographic films, though she would continue running
ClubJenna, which was grossing $30 million per year.[1] In January
2008, Jameson confirmed she is retiring from pornographic performances.
[40]
Autobiography
Main article: How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale
Jameson's best-selling autobiography, How to Make Love Like a Porn
Star: A Cautionary Tale.Jameson's autobiography, How to Make Love Like
a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale was published August 17, 2004. It was
co-written with Neil Strauss, a contributor to The New York Times and
Rolling Stone, and published by ReganBooks, a division of
HarperCollins. It was an instant bestseller, spending six weeks on The
New York Times Best Seller list.[6] The autobiography also won the
2004 "Mainstream's Adult Media Favorite" XRCO award in a tie with
Seymore Butts's Family Business TV series. It was translated into
German as Pornostar. Die Autobiographie in November 2005,[41] and
Spanish as Como Hacer El Amor Igual Que Una Estrella Del Porno in
January 2006.[42]
The almost 600-page book covers her early career from her beginning in
show business living with her tattoo artist boyfriend, through
receiving the Hot d'Or award at Cannes, and wedding pictures from her
second marriage.[43] It does not omit sordid details, telling of her
two rapes, drug addictions, an unhappy first marriage, and numerous
affairs with men and women.[24] The first-person narrative is broken
up by personal photos, childhood diary entries, family interviews,
movie scripts, and comic panels.[44]
The autobiography publisher, Judith Regan, also served as executive
producer of a tie-in television news special, Jenna Jameson's
Confessions,[45] airing on VH1 on August 16, 2004, one day before the
book's launch.[46] But all did not go smoothly for their further
relations, as in April 2005, ReganBooks and Jameson filed lawsuits
against each other. The point of contention was a proposed reality
show about Jameson's everyday life, discussed between her husband, Jay
Grdina, and the A&E Network. ReganBooks maintained that any A&E deal
was a breach of Jameson's contract, which indicated that ReganBooks
had a stake in the profits generated by both the special based on her
memoir and a reality-based series, as well as "any similar projects".
[47] Jameson's suit claimed that the A&E deal preceded the ReganBooks
contract.[48] The reality series had still not materialized, and the
lawsuit was still being discussed, when Judith Regan was fired by
HarperCollins on December 15, 2006 over an unrelated controversy.[49]
In January of 2007, Jameson was reported in talks with producers on
turning the autobiography into a movie, with Scarlett Johansson to
play Jameson.[50] In March of 2007, Jameson was reportedly missing
meetings with producers, thus endangering the movie, due to problems
with a recent vaginoplasty.[51]
Relationships
With former husband Jay Grdina, at the XBiz awards, November
2005Jameson has stated that she is bisexual, and that she has slept
with 100 women and 30 men off-screen in her life.[4] She has stated
the best relationship she ever had was her lesbian love affair with
porn actress Nikki Tyler, which she documents in her autobiography.
They lived together at the start of her porn career and again before
her second marriage.[11][15] Famous male boyfriends discussed in her
autobiography include Marilyn Manson[52] and Tommy Lee.[5][11][32]
On December 20, 1996, Jameson married porn star Brad Armstrong (real
name Rodney Hopkins).[5][15] They were together for only ten weeks,
informally separating in March 1997, though continuing to act together
in pornographic films. They legally separated and divorced in March
2001.[5]
In the summer of 1998, Jameson met former pornographic studio owner
Jay Grdina (born John G. Grdina),[53] scion of a wealthy cattle-
ranching family, who had entered pornographic film production after
college.[54][6] Since 1998, he has been Jameson's only on-screen male
sex partner, acting under the name Justin Sterling. They were engaged
in December of 2000 — before her divorce from Hopkins[5] — and married
June 22, 2003 in a Roman Catholic-style ceremony.[3] They
unsuccessfully tried to have children since mid-2004, and Jameson
planned to retire from acting in pornographic movies permanently after
having their first child.[6][4][8] The couple resided in Scottsdale,
Arizona, in a 6,700-square-foot (620 m²) Spanish-style palace, bought
for $2 million in 2002.[3]
In November of 2004, Jameson was diagnosed with skin cancer. Though
surgery successfully removed the cancer, she miscarried shortly after
the diagnosis, possibly due to stress. She was unable to get pregnant
again, even with in vitro fertilization. Jameson said the in vitro
process "wasn't a good thing for me"; she gained weight and did not
get pregnant. According to Jameson, the stress of the cancer and then
being unable to conceive resulted in the collapse of her marriage.[55]
In August 2006, Star magazine and TMZ.com confirmed with Jameson's
publicist that she and Grdina had separated, and that Jameson was
dating musician Dave Navarro.[56][57] A more serious relationship
seems to be with mixed martial artist and former UFC champion Tito
Ortiz.[58] Ortiz cancelled a November 12, 2006 appearance as the guest
of honor at the United States Marine Corps birthday ball at the Marine
Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, when the Corps refused to let
him bring Jameson as his guest.[59][60] On November 30, 2006, in an
interview on The Howard Stern Show, Ortiz stated that he is in love
with Jameson, that she is no longer acting in pornography, and that
they are in a monogamous relationship.[61] On December 12, 2006,
Jameson filed for divorce from Grdina.[62] Jenna introduced Tito Ortiz
and talked about their relationship at the 2008 AVN Adult Movie Awards
that were shown on Showtime while she was presenting an award.
In March 2007, Jameson blamed her anemic and gaunt appearance at the
AVN Awards on the harsh divorce proceedings.[63]
Business
Cover of Briana Loves Jenna (2001), first Club Jenna produced film,
best-selling and best-renting title of its year, starring Jameson and
Briana Banks.Jameson and Grdina formed ClubJenna as an Internet
pornography company in 2000. ClubJenna.com was one of the first
pornographic sites to provide more than pictures and videos; it
provided explicit diaries, relationship advice, and even stock tips to
paid members. The site reportedly was profitable in its third week.
The business later diversified into multi-media pornographic
entertainment, first by administering other porn stars' web sites,
then, in 2001, by production of pornographic films.[6]
Early Club Jenna films starred Jameson herself, limiting herself to on-
screen sex with other women or with Grdina, who appeared as Justin
Sterling. The first ClubJenna film, Briana Loves Jenna (2001), co-
produced with Vivid, cost US$280,000 to make, and grossed over $1
million in its first year. It was the best selling and best renting
pornographic title of its year, winning twin AVN Awards.[6][64] It was
marketed as "Jenna. Her first boy/girl scene in over 2 years."
referring to Jameson's abstention from heterosexual on-film
intercourse. Grdina has said that Jameson's films averaged sales of
100,000 copies, compared with run-of-the-mill pornographic films,
which did well to sell 5,000. On the other hand, he also said that
their films took up to twelve days to film, compared with one day for
other pornographic films.[7]
In 2004, the Club Jenna films expanded to starring other actresses
without Jameson — Krystal Steal, Jesse Capelli, McKenzie Lee, Ashton
Moore and Sophia Rossi — as Jameson stepped back from starring roles.
[6] In 2005, Jameson directed her first film, The Provocateur,
released as Jenna's Provocateur in September of 2006.[65] The films
were distributed and marketed by Vivid Entertainment, which Forbes
magazine once called "the world's largest adult film company."[6] They
made up a third of ClubJenna's revenues, but over half of the profits.
[6]
Club Jenna was run as a family business, with Grdina's sister, Kris,
as Vice President in charge of merchandising.[3][53] In 2005, Club
Jenna had estimated revenues of $30 million, with profits of about
half that.[6]
Merchandising capitalized on Jameson herself. Since May 2003, she has
been appearing on a 48-foot (15 m) tall billboard in New York City's
Times Square promoting her web site and movies.[3][64] The first
advertisement displayed her wearing only a thong and read "Who Says
They Cleaned Up Times Square?"[66][67] There is a line of sex toys
licensed to Doc Johnson, and an "anatomically correct" Jenna Jameson
action figure.[6][14] She stars in her own sex simulation video game,
Virtually Jenna, in which the goal is to bring a 3D model of her to
orgasm.[68][69] Jackson Guitars made a limited series of King V
guitars with Jameson's likeness.[70] Y-Tell, ClubJenna's wireless
company, sells Jenna Jameson "moan tones" (telephone ringtones), chat
services, and games in partnerships with 20 carriers around the world,
mostly in Europe and South America.[6] In 2006, New York City-based
Wicked Cow Entertainment started to expand her brand to barware,
perfume, handbags, lingerie, and footwear, sold through high end
retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue and Colette boutiques.[71] Her
prominent merchandising and mainstream media coverage has been
criticised as "obscene" by Morality in Media.[72]
Club Jenna kept diversifying. In August 2005, Club Jenna launched Club
Thrust, an interactive website for Jameson's gay male fans, which
includes videos, galleries, sex advice, gossip, and downloads. The
director of webmaster relations for Club Jenna said the straight site
had always had a lot of gay traffic.[73][74] By 2006, Club Jenna
administered more than 150 official sites for other adult
entertainment industry stars.[53]
In August 2005, a partnership that included Jameson purchased Babes
Cabaret, a strip club in Scottsdale, Arizona, intending to make it the
first foray of ClubJenna into live entertainment.[75][76] Soon after
the purchase attracted attention, the Scottsdale City Council proposed
a new ordinance banning nudity at adult-entertainment venues and
requiring a four-foot divider restricting contact with dancers. Such a
divider would have also effectively banned lap dances, the dancers'
main source of revenue.[77][78] Jameson argued strongly against the
ordinance, and helped organize a petition against it. On September 12,
2006, in a referendum on the ordinance, voters struck down the
stricter rules, allowing the club to continue to operate as before.
[79]
On February 3, 2006, Jameson hosted a "Vivid ClubJenna Super Bowl
Party" with several other Club Jenna and Vivid Girls at the Zoo Club
in Detroit, Michigan for a $500 to $1,000 ticket price.[80] It
featured a lingerie show, but no planned nudity or sex acts.[81] When
first announced, the party caused controversy with the National
Football League, which did not sanction this as an official Super Bowl
event.[82] For 2007, Jameson signed up to play quarterback in the
Lingerie Bowl, but retired due to her insurance company's damage
concerns. She will instead act as commentator.[83][84]
On June 22, 2006, Playboy Enterprises Inc. announced the acquisition
of ClubJenna Inc., in conjunction with personal service agreements by
both Jameson and Grdina. Playboy CEO Christie Hefner said that she
expected to rapidly ramp up film production, producing about 30
features in the first year, and will expand the way they are sold, not
only as DVDs but through TV channels, video-on-demand services and
mobile phones.[85][86] On November 1, 2006, Playboy renamed one of the
Spice Network's pay-per-view channels from The Hot Network to
ClubJenna.[87]
In April 2007, Tera Patrick and her production company Teravision
filed a lawsuit against Jameson and Playboy Enterprises for failing to
properly account for and pay royalties on monies earned by Patrick's
website clubtera.com.[88]
Mainstream appearances
Jameson is also known for relative success outside pornography, and
even bringing pornography itself closer to the mainstream.[15][71][24]
She has said: "I've always embraced my hard-core roots, but becoming a
household name was an important thing to me."[6]
In 1995, Jameson sent photos of herself to radio host Howard Stern.[5]
She became a regular guest on his show, appearing more than 30 times,
[6] and played the role of "Mandy", the "First Nude Woman on Radio",
in Stern's semi-autobiographical 1997 film Private Parts.[89][90] This
film appearance was the beginning of a series of roles outside
pornography. In 1997, Jameson made an appearance for an Extreme
Championship Wrestling PPV, Hardcore Heaven '97 as the valet for the
Dudley family, another appearance at ECW Living Dangerously on March
1, 1998, followed by a few months where she was the ECW interviewer.
[91] In 1998, she filmed a vignette with Val Venis, a character in the
WWF. In the late 1990s, Jameson guest hosted several episodes of the
E! cable television series travel show Wild On!, appearing scantily
clad in tropical locations.[5][11][92]
Jameson (at right) as an animated version of herself in a 2001 episode
of Family Guy, "Brian Does Hollywood".Jameson voiced an animated
version of herself in a July 2001 episode of Family Guy entitled
"Brian Does Hollywood". Her character wins an award for acting in a
porn film directed by Brian Griffin (the dog), and at the close of the
episode she is kidnapped and taken home by Peter Griffin. In 2002,
Jenna Jameson and Ron Jeremy played themselves in Comedy Central's
first feature television movie Porn 'n Chicken, in the roles of
speakers for a pornography viewing club.[93] Also in 2002, she
appeared in two video games, most notably voicing Candy Suxxx in Grand
Theft Auto: Vice City. Her character begins as a prostitute, but goes
on to success as a pornographic actress and is displayed on several
billboards within the game. Her performance won the 2003 G-Phoria
"Best Live Action/Voice Performance Award – Female".[94] She also
provided both the appearance and the voice for "Daisy", a secret
playable character for the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, who
performs provocative tricks with her clothing and skateboard.[95] In
2003, Jameson appeared in two episodes of the NBC prime time
television show Mister Sterling as the girlfriend of a political
financier.[11][64]
Some of her mainstream appearances sparked controversy. An interview
with Jenna Jameson contained in the 1999 Abercrombie & Fitch A&F
Quarterly was part of the motivation for Michigan Attorney General
Jennifer Granholm and Illinois Lieutenant Governor Corinne Wood to
speak out against the hybrid magazine-catalog.[96] The campaign was
joined by parents and Christian conservative groups, and got the
Quarterly removed from shelves and eventually canceled in 2003.[97]
In November 2001, the venerable Oxford Union debating society invited
Jameson to come to Oxford to argue against the proposition "The House
Believes that Porn is Harmful."[33] She wrote in her diary at the
time, "I feel like I am going to be out of my element, but, I could
never pass this chance up... it's a once in a lifetime thing."[98] In
the end, her side won the debate 204 to 27.[11]
Penny Drake and Jenna Jameson on the set of Zombie Strippers, May
2007In February 2003, Pony International planned to feature her as one
of several porn stars in advertisements for athletic shoes. This was
attacked by Bill O'Reilly of Fox News in an editorial called "Using
Quasi-Prostitutes to Sell Sneakers", calling porn stars inappropriate
role models for teens.[99] In response, The Harvard Crimson proposed a
boycott of O'Reilly and Fox News.[100] Jameson herself fought back
with a sarcastic email to the show, writing:
I hope Bill understands the difference between a porn star and a
hooker. I assume he has done some research on the subject because he
requested some of my videos after we finished taping my appearance. I
imagine he wanted them for professional reasons.[101]
However, these were minor appearances on the fringes of the
mainstream. It was the 2004 success of her autobiography that truly
brought her the mass-market fame she wanted. In a few months, she was
interviewed on NBC, CNBC, Fox News, and CNN,[7] and the book was
reviewed by The New York Times, Reuters, and other respected outlets.
[43][44]
Samhain,[102] a 2002 low budget horror film in which she starred with
other pornographic actresses including Ginger Lynn Allen, had sat
unreleased until 2005, when it was re-cut and released as Evil Breed:
The Legend of Samhain, with her featured prominently. She has another
minor horror film role in Sin-Jin Smyth, delayed from release in late
2006,[103] and a starring role in the comedy horror film Zombie
Strippers, due to be released in 2008. In February 2006, Comedy
Central announced plans to feature Jameson as "P-Whip", in a starring
role in its first animated mobile phone series, Samurai Love God.[93]
[104] Mediaweek called her the biggest name attached to the project.
[105] In April 2006, Jameson was the star of a Video Podcast ad for
Adidas (a larger sporting goods company than Pony), advertising
Adicolor shoes by playing a provocative game of whack a mole; O'Reilly
did not make an editorial.[106][107] In July 2006, Jenna Jameson
became the first pornographic actress to have a wax model at Madame
Tussauds (in the Las Vegas museum).[108]
Activism
Although not known to be politically active, after viewing undercover
videos of chicken production, Jameson agreed to do a short video[109]
for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals as part of their
campaign against KFC’s treatment of chickens. Jameson is a liberal and
supports Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential elections.[110]

Her father is Lawrence Massoli, an Italian American program director
for an NBC affiliate and a police officer. Her mother was Judith
Brooke Hunt Massoli, a Las Vegas showgirl who danced in the Folies
Bergère show at the Tropicana Resort & Casino.[3][13] Her mother died
of skin cancer on February 20, 1976, before Jenna's second birthday.
[5] The cancer treatments bankrupted the family and they moved several
times, including living in a trailer and moving in with her father's
mother. Her father spent most of his time at work at the Las Vegas
Sheriff's Department, and she became very close to her brother, Tony.
[14] She was a frequent entrant in beauty pageants as a child, and
took ballet classes.[15]
In her autobiography, Massoli writes that in October 1990, while the
family was living on a cattle ranch in Fromberg, Montana, she was
beaten with rocks and gang raped by four boys after a football game.
[14] She says she was raped a second time, while still 16, by her
boyfriend Jack's biker uncle, Preacher.[14] (Preacher has denied this.)
[16] Rather than tell her father, she left home and moved in with Jack
in her first serious relationship.[5][17]
Jack was a tattoo artist, and gave her the first of a series of
tattoos, one which would become her trademark tattoo, double hearts on
her right buttock.[6][18] According to E!, Massoli's brother Tony, who
later owned a tattoo parlor himself,[3] added the inscription "Heart
Breaker".[5]
Early career
Jenna Massoli tried to follow in her mother's career as a Las Vegas
showgirl, but most shows rejected her for not having the required
height of 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm).[11][19] She was hired at the Vegas
World show,[3] but left after two months stating that the schedule was
brutal, and the money was terrible.[17]
Massoli's boyfriend Jack encouraged her to apply for jobs as a
stripper,[4] and in 1991, though underage, she began dancing in Las
Vegas strip clubs using a fake I.D.[5][15] After she was rejected from
the Crazy Horse Too strip club because of the braces on her teeth, she
removed them with a pair of needle-nose pliers and was accepted.[6]
After six months, she was earning US$2000 per night, before finishing
high school.[5]
Her first stage name as a stripper was "Jennasis",[13] a name she
later used for incorporating as "Jennasis Entertainment".[20] She
chose the name "Jenna Jameson" to use as a model after scrolling
through the phone book for a last name that matched her first name,
before finally decided on Jameson for Jameson Whiskey, which she
drinks.[5][21]
Besides dancing, starting later in 1991, she posed for nude
photographs for photographer Suze Randall in Los Angeles, hoping to
get into Penthouse magazine.[17][22] Jameson was paid $300 per day,
without rights to the pictures. After her photos had appeared in
several men's magazines under various names,[23] Jameson stopped
working for Randall, feeling Randall was "a shark"[24] who had been
taking advantage of her.[25]
While still in high school, she began taking drugs — cocaine, LSD, and
methamphetamines — accompanied by her brother (who was addicted to
heroin[3]) and at times her father.[14] Her addiction became worse
during her four years with her boyfriend. She eventually stopped
eating properly and became too thin to model; Jack left her in 1994.
She weighed 76 pounds (less than 35 kilograms)[26] when a friend put
her in a wheelchair and sent her to her father, who was then living in
Redding, California, in order to detox; her father did not recognize
her when she got off the plane.[14]
Pornographic film career
At the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo 2007, January 12, 2007Jameson says
that she started acting in pornographic films in revenge for her
boyfriend, Jack, cheating on her.[6][17] She first appeared in an
erotic film in 1993, a non-explicit softcore movie by Andrew Blake,
[27] with girlfriend Nikki Tyler,[11] whom she had met modeling for
Suze Randall.[25] Her first pornographic movie scenes were filmed by
Randy West and appeared in 1994's Up and Cummers 10 and Up and Cummers
11.[15][28] She quickly achieved notice and appeared in several other
pornographic films while still living in Las Vegas.
Jameson got her first breast implants on July 28, 1994, to enhance her
stripping and movie careers.[29] By 2004, she had had 2 different sets
of breast implants and a chin implant.[3][30]
Jameson's first pornographic film appearances were female only lesbian
scenes. She says: "Girl-on-girl was easy and natural. Then they
offered me lots of money to do boy-girl."[11] Her first heterosexual
scene was in Up and Cummers 11 (1994).[31]At the beginning of her
career, she promised herself never to do anal sex or double
penetration scenes on film.[4] She has also never done any interracial
sex scenes with men.[32] Instead, her "signature move" was oral sex,
lubricated with plenty of saliva.[33][34]
In 1994, after overcoming her addiction by spending several weeks with
her father and grandmother, Jameson relocated to Los Angeles to live
with Nikki Tyler.[35][25] She started modeling again, and in 1995 got
her father's blessing to make a career out of pornographic films.[5]
[14] Her first movie after that was Silk Stockings.[36] Later in 1995,
Wicked Pictures, a then small pornographic film production company,
signed her to an exclusive contract.[37][6] She remembers telling
Wicked Pictures founder Steve Orenstein:
“ The most important thing to me right now is to become the biggest
star the industry has ever seen.[14][24] ”
The contract earned Jameson US$6,000 for each of eight movies in her
first year.[5] Her first big-budget production was Blue Movie (1995),
where she played a reporter investigating a porn set; it won multiple
AVN Awards.[15] In 1996, Jameson won top awards from three major
industry organizations, the XRCO Best New Starlet award, the AVN Best
New Starlet Award, and the Fans of X-Rated Entertainment (FOXE) Video
Vixen award. She was the first entertainer to win all three awards.
[15] A stream of other awards followed.
By 2001, Jameson earned $60,000 for a day and a half of filming a
single DVD, and $8,000 per night dancing at strip clubs. She tried to
restrict herself to five films per year and two weeks of dancing per
month.[38] Her husband Jay Grdina has said that she earned as much as
$25,000 per night dancing.[7]
Since November 2005, she has been the host of Playboy TV's Jenna's
American Sex Star, where prospective porn stars compete in sexual
performances for a contract with her company, ClubJenna. Winners of
the contracts for the first two years were Brea Bennett and Roxy Jezel.
[39]
In August 2007, Jameson had her breast implants removed, reducing her
from a D to a C cup; she also said she was finished with appearing on
camera in pornographic films, though she would continue running
ClubJenna, which was grossing $30 million per year.[1] In January
2008, Jameson confirmed she is retiring from pornographic performances.
[40]

German as Pornostar. Die Autobiographie in November 2005,[41] and
Spanish as Como Hacer El Amor Igual Que Una Estrella Del Porno in
January 2006.[42]
The almost 600-page book covers her early career from her beginning in
show business living with her tattoo artist boyfriend, through
receiving the Hot d'Or award at Cannes, and wedding pictures from her
second marriage.[43] It does not omit sordid details, telling of her
two rapes, drug addictions, an unhappy first marriage, and numerous
affairs with men and women.[24] The first-person narrative is broken
up by personal photos, childhood diary entries, family interviews,
movie scripts, and comic panels.[44]
The autobiography publisher, Judith Regan, also served as executive
producer of a tie-in television news special, Jenna Jameson's
Confessions,[45] airing on VH1 on August 16, 2004, one day before the
book's launch.[46] But all did not go smoothly for their further
relations, as in April 2005, ReganBooks and Jameson filed lawsuits
against each other. The point of contention was a proposed reality
show about Jameson's everyday life, discussed between her husband, Jay
Grdina, and the A&E Network. ReganBooks maintained that any A&E deal
was a breach of Jameson's contract, which indicated that ReganBooks
had a stake in the profits generated by both the special based on her
memoir and a reality-based series, as well as "any similar projects".
[47] Jameson's suit claimed that the A&E deal preceded the ReganBooks
contract.[48] The reality series had still not materialized, and the
lawsuit was still being discussed, when Judith Regan was fired by
HarperCollins on December 15, 2006 over an unrelated controversy.[49]
In January of 2007, Jameson was reported in talks with producers on
turning the autobiography into a movie, with Scarlett Johansson to
play Jameson.[50] In March of 2007, Jameson was reportedly missing
meetings with producers, thus endangering the movie, due to problems
with a recent vaginoplasty.[51]
Relationships
With former husband Jay Grdina, at the XBiz awards, November
2005Jameson has stated that she is bisexual, and that she has slept
with 100 women and 30 men off-screen in her life.[4] She has stated
the best relationship she ever had was her lesbian love affair with
porn actress Nikki Tyler, which she documents in her autobiography.
They lived together at the start of her porn career and again before
her second marriage.[11][15] Famous male boyfriends discussed in her
autobiography include Marilyn Manson[52] and Tommy Lee.[5][11][32]
On December 20, 1996, Jameson married porn star Brad Armstrong (real
name Rodney Hopkins).[5][15] They were together for only ten weeks,
informally separating in March 1997, though continuing to act together
in pornographic films. They legally separated and divorced in March
2001.[5]
In the summer of 1998, Jameson met former pornographic studio owner
Jay Grdina (born John G. Grdina),[53] scion of a wealthy cattle-
ranching family, who had entered pornographic film production after
college.[54][6] Since 1998, he has been Jameson's only on-screen male
sex partner, acting under the name Justin Sterling. They were engaged
in December of 2000 — before her divorce from Hopkins[5] — and married
June 22, 2003 in a Roman Catholic-style ceremony.[3] They
unsuccessfully tried to have children since mid-2004, and Jameson
planned to retire from acting in pornographic movies permanently after
having their first child.[6][4][8] The couple resided in Scottsdale,
Arizona, in a 6,700-square-foot (620 m²) Spanish-style palace, bought
for $2 million in 2002.[3]
In November of 2004, Jameson was diagnosed with skin cancer. Though
surgery successfully removed the cancer, she miscarried shortly after
the diagnosis, possibly due to stress. She was unable to get pregnant
again, even with in vitro fertilization. Jameson said the in vitro
process "wasn't a good thing for me"; she gained weight and did not
get pregnant. According to Jameson, the stress of the cancer and then
being unable to conceive resulted in the collapse of her marriage.[55]
In August 2006, Star magazine and TMZ.com confirmed with Jameson's
publicist that she and Grdina had separated, and that Jameson was
dating musician Dave Navarro.[56][57] A more serious relationship
seems to be with mixed martial artist and former UFC champion Tito
Ortiz.[58] Ortiz cancelled a November 12, 2006 appearance as the guest
of honor at the United States Marine Corps birthday ball at the Marine
Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, when the Corps refused to let
him bring Jameson as his guest.[59][60] On November 30, 2006, in an
interview on The Howard Stern Show, Ortiz stated that he is in love
with Jameson, that she is no longer acting in pornography, and that
they are in a monogamous relationship.[61] On December 12, 2006,
Jameson filed for divorce from Grdina.[62] Jenna introduced Tito Ortiz
and talked about their relationship at the 2008 AVN Adult Movie Awards
that were shown on Showtime while she was presenting an award.
In March 2007, Jameson blamed her anemic and gaunt appearance at the
AVN Awards on the harsh divorce proceedings.[63]
Business
Cover of Briana Loves Jenna (2001), first Club Jenna produced film,
best-selling and best-renting title of its year, starring Jameson and
Briana Banks.Jameson and Grdina formed ClubJenna as an Internet
pornography company in 2000. ClubJenna.com was one of the first
pornographic sites to provide more than pictures and videos; it
provided explicit diaries, relationship advice, and even stock tips to
paid members. The site reportedly was profitable in its third week.
The business later diversified into multi-media pornographic
entertainment, first by administering other porn stars' web sites,
then, in 2001, by production of pornographic films.[6]
Early Club Jenna films starred Jameson herself, limiting herself to on-
screen sex with other women or with Grdina, who appeared as Justin
Sterling. The first ClubJenna film, Briana Loves Jenna (2001), co-
produced with Vivid, cost US$280,000 to make, and grossed over $1
million in its first year. It was the best selling and best renting
pornographic title of its year, winning twin AVN Awards.[6][64] It was
marketed as "Jenna. Her first boy/girl scene in over 2 years."
referring to Jameson's abstention from heterosexual on-film
intercourse. Grdina has said that Jameson's films averaged sales of
100,000 copies, compared with run-of-the-mill pornographic films,
which did well to sell 5,000. On the other hand, he also said that
their films took up to twelve days to film, compared with one day for
other pornographic films.[7]
In 2004, the Club Jenna films expanded to starring other actresses
without Jameson — Krystal Steal, Jesse Capelli, McKenzie Lee, Ashton
Moore and Sophia Rossi — as Jameson stepped back from starring roles.
[6] In 2005, Jameson directed her first film, The Provocateur,
released as Jenna's Provocateur in September of 2006.[65] The films
were distributed and marketed by Vivid Entertainment, which Forbes
magazine once called "the world's largest adult film company."[6] They
made up a third of ClubJenna's revenues, but over half of the profits.
[6]
Club Jenna was run as a family business, with Grdina's sister, Kris,
as Vice President in charge of merchandising.[3][53] In 2005, Club
Jenna had estimated revenues of $30 million, with profits of about
half that.[6]
Merchandising capitalized on Jameson herself. Since May 2003, she has
been appearing on a 48-foot (15 m) tall billboard in New York City's
Times Square promoting her web site and movies.[3][64] The first
advertisement displayed her wearing only a thong and read "Who Says
They Cleaned Up Times Square?"[66][67] There is a line of sex toys
licensed to Doc Johnson, and an "anatomically correct" Jenna Jameson
action figure.[6][14] She stars in her own sex simulation video game,
Virtually Jenna, in which the goal is to bring a 3D model of her to
orgasm.[68][69] Jackson Guitars made a limited series of King V
guitars with Jameson's likeness.[70] Y-Tell, ClubJenna's wireless
company, sells Jenna Jameson "moan tones" (telephone ringtones), chat
services, and games in partnerships with 20 carriers around the world,
mostly in Europe and South America.[6] In 2006, New York City-based
Wicked Cow Entertainment started to expand her brand to barware,
perfume, handbags, lingerie, and footwear, sold through high end
retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue and Colette boutiques.[71] Her
prominent merchandising and mainstream media coverage has been
criticised as "obscene" by Morality in Media.[72]
Club Jenna kept diversifying. In August 2005, Club Jenna launched Club
Thrust, an interactive website for Jameson's gay male fans, which
includes videos, galleries, sex advice, gossip, and downloads. The
director of webmaster relations for Club Jenna said the straight site
had always had a lot of gay traffic.[73][74] By 2006, Club Jenna
administered more than 150 official sites for other adult
entertainment industry stars.[53]
In August 2005, a partnership that included Jameson purchased Babes
Cabaret, a strip club in Scottsdale, Arizona, intending to make it the
first foray of ClubJenna into live entertainment.[75][76] Soon after
the purchase attracted attention, the Scottsdale City Council proposed
a new ordinance banning nudity at adult-entertainment venues and
requiring a four-foot divider restricting contact with dancers. Such a
divider would have also effectively banned lap dances, the dancers'
main source of revenue.[77][78] Jameson argued strongly against the
ordinance, and helped organize a petition against it. On September 12,
2006, in a referendum on the ordinance, voters struck down the
stricter rules, allowing the club to continue to operate as before.
[79]
On February 3, 2006, Jameson hosted a "Vivid ClubJenna Super Bowl
Party" with several other Club Jenna and Vivid Girls at the Zoo Club
in Detroit, Michigan for a $500 to $1,000 ticket price.[80] It
featured a lingerie show, but no planned nudity or sex acts.[81] When
first announced, the party caused controversy with the National
Football League, which did not sanction this as an official Super Bowl
event.[82] For 2007, Jameson signed up to play quarterback in the
Lingerie Bowl, but retired due to her insurance company's damage
concerns. She will instead act as commentator.[83][84]
On June 22, 2006, Playboy Enterprises Inc. announced the acquisition
of ClubJenna Inc., in conjunction with personal service agreements by
both Jameson and Grdina. Playboy CEO Christie Hefner said that she
expected to rapidly ramp up film production, producing about 30
features in the first year, and will expand the way they are sold, not
only as DVDs but through TV channels, video-on-demand services and
mobile phones.[85][86] On November 1, 2006, Playboy renamed one of the
Spice Network's pay-per-view channels from The Hot Network to
ClubJenna.[87]
In April 2007, Tera Patrick and her production company Teravision
filed a lawsuit against Jameson and Playboy Enterprises for failing to
properly account for and pay royalties on monies earned by Patrick's
website clubtera.com.[88]
Mainstream appearances
Jameson is also known for relative success outside pornography, and
even bringing pornography itself closer to the mainstream.[15][71][24]
She has said: "I've always embraced my hard-core roots, but becoming a
household name was an important thing to me."[6]
In 1995, Jameson sent photos of herself to radio host Howard Stern.[5]
She became a regular guest on his show, appearing more than 30 times,
[6] and played the role of "Mandy", the "First Nude Woman on Radio",
in Stern's semi-autobiographical 1997 film Private Parts.[89][90] This
film appearance was the beginning of a series of roles outside
pornography. In 1997, Jameson made an appearance for an Extreme
Championship Wrestling PPV, Hardcore Heaven '97 as the valet for the
Dudley family, another appearance at ECW Living Dangerously on March
1, 1998, followed by a few months where she was the ECW interviewer.
[91] In 1998, she filmed a vignette with Val Venis, a character in the
WWF. In the late 1990s, Jameson guest hosted several episodes of the
E! cable television series travel show Wild On!, appearing scantily
clad in tropical locations.[5][11][92]
Jameson (at right) as an animated version of herself in a 2001 episode
of Family Guy, "Brian Does Hollywood".Jameson voiced an animated
version of herself in a July 2001 episode of Family Guy entitled
"Brian Does Hollywood". Her character wins an award for acting in a
porn film directed by Brian Griffin (the dog), and at the close of the
episode she is kidnapped and taken home by Peter Griffin. In 2002,
Jenna Jameson and Ron Jeremy played themselves in Comedy Central's
first feature television movie Porn 'n Chicken, in the roles of
speakers for a pornography viewing club.[93] Also in 2002, she
appeared in two video games, most notably voicing Candy Suxxx in Grand
Theft Auto: Vice City. Her character begins as a prostitute, but goes
on to success as a pornographic actress and is displayed on several
billboards within the game. Her performance won the 2003 G-Phoria
"Best Live Action/Voice Performance Award – Female".[94] She also
provided both the appearance and the voice for "Daisy", a secret
playable character for the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, who
performs provocative tricks with her clothing and skateboard.[95] In
2003, Jameson appeared in two episodes of the NBC prime time
television show Mister Sterling as the girlfriend of a political
financier.[11][64]
Some of her mainstream appearances sparked controversy. An interview
with Jenna Jameson contained in the 1999 Abercrombie & Fitch A&F
Quarterly was part of the motivation for Michigan Attorney General
Jennifer Granholm and Illinois Lieutenant Governor Corinne Wood to
speak out against the hybrid magazine-catalog.[96] The campaign was
joined by parents and Christian conservative groups, and got the
Quarterly removed from shelves and eventually canceled in 2003.[97]
In November 2001, the venerable Oxford Union debating society invited
Jameson to come to Oxford to argue against the proposition "The House
Believes that Porn is Harmful."[33] She wrote in her diary at the
time, "I feel like I am going to be out of my element, but, I could
never pass this chance up... it's a once in a lifetime thing."[98] In
the end, her side won the debate 204 to 27.[11]
Penny Drake and Jenna Jameson on the set of Zombie Strippers, May
2007In February 2003, Pony International planned to feature her as one
of several porn stars in advertisements for athletic shoes. This was
attacked by Bill O'Reilly of Fox News in an editorial called "Using
Quasi-Prostitutes to Sell Sneakers", calling porn stars inappropriate
role models for teens.[99] In response, The Harvard Crimson proposed a
boycott of O'Reilly and Fox News.[100] Jameson herself fought back
with a sarcastic email to the show, writing:
I hope Bill understands the difference between a porn star and a
hooker. I assume he has done some research on the subject because he
requested some of my videos after we finished taping my appearance. I
imagine he wanted them for professional reasons.[101]
However, these were minor appearances on the fringes of the
mainstream. It was the 2004 success of her autobiography that truly
brought her the mass-market fame she wanted. In a few months, she was
interviewed on NBC, CNBC, Fox News, and CNN,[7] and the book was
reviewed by The New York Times, Reuters, and other respected outlets.
[43][44]
Samhain,[102] a 2002 low budget horror film in which she starred with
other pornographic actresses including Ginger Lynn Allen, had sat
unreleased until 2005, when it was re-cut and released as Evil Breed:
The Legend of Samhain, with her featured prominently. She has another
minor horror film role in Sin-Jin Smyth, delayed from release in late
2006,[103] and a starring role in the comedy horror film Zombie
Strippers, due to be released in 2008. In February 2006, Comedy
Central announced plans to feature Jameson as "P-Whip", in a starring
role in its first animated mobile phone series, Samurai Love God.[93]
[104] Mediaweek called her the biggest name attached to the project.
[105] In April 2006, Jameson was the star of a Video Podcast ad for
Adidas (a larger sporting goods company than Pony), advertising
Adicolor shoes by playing a provocative game of whack a mole; O'Reilly
did not make an editorial.[106][107] In July 2006, Jenna Jameson
became the first pornographic actress to have a wax model at Madame
Tussauds (in the Las Vegas museum).[108]
Activism
Although not known to be politically active, after viewing undercover
videos of chicken production, Jameson agreed to do a short video[109]
for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals as part of their
campaign against KFC’s treatment of chickens. Jameson is a liberal and
supports Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential elections.[110]
