By 1996, she had won the "top newcomer" award from each of the three major adult-movie organizations. She has since won more than 35 adult-video awards, and has been inducted into the X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) and Adult Video News (AVN) Halls of Fame.[10][11]

Jameson founded the adult-entertainment company ClubJenna in 2000 with Jay Grdina, whom she later married and divorced. Initially a single website, this business expanded into managing similar websites of other stars and began producing sexually explicit videos in 2001. The first such movie, Briana Loves Jenna (with Briana Banks), was named at the 2003 AVN Awards as the best-selling and best-renting pornographic title for 2002.[12] By 2005, ClubJenna had revenues of US$30 million with profits estimated at half that.[6] Advertisements for her site and films, often bearing her picture, have towered on a 48-foot-tall billboard in New York City's Times Square.[13]

Jameson has also crossed over into mainstream pop culture, starting with a minor role in Howard Stern's 1997 film Private Parts.[8] Her mainstream appearances continued with several guest-hosting and guest-starring on various television programs. Playboy TV hosted her Jenna's American Sex Star reality show, in which aspiring porn stars competed for a ClubJenna contract.[14] Her 2004 autobiography, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale, spent six weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list.[6]

Jameson announced her retirement from pornography at the 2008 AVN Awards, stating that she would never return to the industry.[15] Although she no longer performs in pornographic films, she has been working as a webcam model since 2013.[5]

Her father, Laurence Henry Massoli, was a police officer at the Las Vegas Sheriff's Department and program director for KSNV-DT. Her mother, Judith Brooke Hunt, was a Las Vegas showgirl who danced in the Folies Bergère show at the Tropicana Resort & Casino.[1][16] Her mother died of melanoma on February 20, 1976, two months prior to her daughter's second birthday.[4] The cancer treatments bankrupted the family and they relocated in Nevada, Arizona, and Montana, usually living in a trailer home or living with her paternal grandmother. She has an older brother, Tony.[17] She was a frequent entrant in beauty pageants as a child, and enrolled in ballet classes throughout her childhood.[18] In a featurette on the Zombie Strippers DVD, Jameson indicates she trained in dance for fifteen years.

Jameson writes in her autobiography that in October 1990, when she was 16 years old and 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 at Fromberg High School.[17] The incident began after she attempted to hitchhike home, and that she entered the car of the four boys while believing that she would be driven to her home.[17] She reported being raped a second time while still 16, by "Preacher", her boyfriend Jack's biker uncle.[17] Preacher has denied the rape ever occurred.[19] Rather than tell her father, she left home and moved in with Jack in her first serious relationship.[4][20]

Jack was a tattoo artist, and gave her the first of a series of tattoos, one of which would become her trademark tattoo, two hearts on her right buttock.[6] According to E!, her brother Tony, who later owned a tattoo parlor himself,[1] added the inscription "Heart Breaker."[1][4]

Career Early She tried to follow in her mother's career as a Las Vegas showgirl, but most shows rejected her for not having the then-typical height of 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm).[12][21] She was hired at Disneyland Resort,[1] but left after two months stating concerns over the schedule and salary schedule.[20]

Her boyfriend Jack encouraged her to apply for jobs as a dancer,[7] and in 1991, though underage, she began dancing in Las Vegas strip clubs using a fake identification.[4][18] After she was rejected from the Crazy Horse Too strip club because of her orthodontia, she removed her braces with pliers and was accepted.[6] After six months, she was earning US$2,000 per night, before graduating from Bonanza High School.[4]

Her first stage name as a dancer was "Jennasis",[16] which she later used as the name of a business that she incorporated ("Jennasis Killing Co.").[22] 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 deciding on Jameson after the whiskey, which she is known to drink.[4][23]

Besides dancing, starting later in 1991, she posed for nude photographs for photographer Suze Randall in Los Angeles, with the intention of getting into Penthouse.[20][24] After her photos had appeared in several men's magazines under various names, she then stopped working for Randall, feeling Randall was "a shark."[25]

While in high school, she began taking drugs – cocaine, LSD, and methamphetamine – accompanied by her brother (who was addicted to heroin[1]%29 and at times her father.[17] Her addiction worsened 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 (34 kg)[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.[17]

Pornographic film See also: Jenna Jameson filmography

Jameson at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo on January 12, 2007 Jameson says that she started acting in sex videos in retaliation for the infidelity of her boyfriend, Jack.[6][20] She first appeared in an erotic film in 1993, a non-explicit softcore movie by Andrew Blake,[27] with girlfriend Nikki Tyler.[12] Her first pornographic movie scenes were filmed by Randy West and appeared in 1994's Up and Cummers 10 and Up and Cummers 11.[18][28] She quickly achieved notice and appeared in several other pornographic films while still living in Las Vegas.

Of her first adult movie, Randy West said "Jenna contacted me and said she wanted to get into the XXX business, but her agent didn't want her to do porn. A month later I'm on a shoot in Woodland Hills [a San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles], and there's Jenna. She said she wanted to get into the business, despite what her agent said. I told her if you want to just do a girl/girl scene, we can do that. She said she wanted to work with Kylie Ireland, so I set it up. When the sex started, she just fucking rocked! I knew Jenna was special right off the bat. I figured she'd be the next Ginger Lynn, but nobody had any idea she was going to be as big as she turned out to be. Jenna told me when we first met that she was going to be a star."[29]

Jameson got her first breast implants on July 28, 1994, to enhance her stripping and movie careers.[30] By 2004, she had had two different sets of breast implants and a chin implant.[1][31]

Jameson's first adult video appearances were lesbian scenes (a common way that female performers ease into the business). She says: "Girl-on-girl was easy and natural. Then they offered me lots of money to do boy-girl."[12] Her first heterosexual scene was in Up and Cummers 11 (1994).[32] At the beginning of her career, she promised herself that she would never do anal sex or double penetration scenes on film.[7] Instead, her "signature move" was oral sex, lubricated with saliva.[33][34] She has also never done any interracial sex scenes with men (despite that category's runaway popularity during the 2000s).[35] When asked about this on The Howard Stern Show on February 8, 2008, she said that she was not necessarily opposed to doing so; rather, "it never really came up", as there were few black men working in porn when she started, and none of them worked [exclusively] for the same company [as] she did.[36]

In 1994, after overcoming her drug addiction by spending several weeks with her father and grandmother, Jameson relocated to Los Angeles to live with Nikki Tyler.[37] Her first movie after that was Silk Stockings.[38] Later in 1995, Wicked Pictures, a then small pornographic film production company, signed her to an exclusive contract.[6][39] 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."[17][25]

The contract earned Jameson US$6,000 for each of eight movies in her first year.[4] Her first big-budget production was Blue Movie (1995), where she played a reporter investigating a porn set; it won multiple AVN Awards.[18] 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 (F.O.X.E.) Video Vixen award. She was the first entertainer to win all three awards.[18] 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.[40] Her husband Jay Grdina has said that she earned as much as $25,000 per night dancing.[8]

Between 2005 and 2006, she hosted 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.[41]

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.[42] In January 2008, Jameson confirmed she was retiring from pornographic performances[43] and has since said that she "won't even do a Maxim cover."[44]

Jameson at Exxxotica in Edison, New Jersey on October 4, 2013 Jameson's first appearance at an adult-entertainment event since her retirement was at the 2013 Exxxotica New Jersey convention in October.[45] The following month, she returned to the adult industry as a webcam model.[46] On January 15, 2014, Fleshlight released Jameson's signature artificial vagina.[47] Jameson was also the master of ceremonies for the 2014 XBIZ Awards on January 24.[48]

Business ventures 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 multimedia pornographic entertainment, first by administering other porn stars' websites, then, in 2001, by production of pornographic films.[6]

Early ClubJenna 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][49] 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.[8]

In a January 2009 interview with William Shatner on Shatner's Raw Nerve, Jameson said she came close to buying Penthouse magazine when publisher Bob Guccione filed for Chapter 11 reorganization of his business (which occurred in August 2003), but was thwarted when someone else swooped in and bought up all the stock.[50] New York Magazine's Intelligencer quoted a source from Penthouse as saying "I'm sure she is considering it", adding that Jameson was to be cover girl in January 2004 – and "it's a really wild-looking shoot, even for a porn star."[51]

In 2004, the ClubJenna 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 first directed a film, The Provocateur, released as Jenna's Provocateur in September 2006.[52] The ClubJenna 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]

ClubJenna was run as a family business, with Grdina's sister, Kris, as Vice President in charge of merchandising.[1][53] In 2005, ClubJenna had estimated revenues of $30 million, with profits of about half that.[6]

Jameson also capitalized on merchandising 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.[1][49] The first advertisement displayed her wearing only a thong and read "Who Says They Cleaned Up Times Square?"[54][55] There is a line of sex toys licensed to Doc Johnson, and an "anatomically correct" Jenna Jameson action figure.[6][17] 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.[56][57] 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 such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Colette boutiques.[58] Her film and merchandising success enabled her to attain her goal of becoming the top porn star in the world.[59]

In August 2005, ClubJenna 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 ClubJenna said the straight site had always had a lot of gay traffic.[60][61] By 2006, ClubJenna administered more than 150 official sites for other adult-entertainment industry stars.[53]

In August 2005, a group of business investors that included Jameson purchased Babes Cabaret, a strip club in Scottsdale, Arizona, intending to make it the first foray of ClubJenna into live entertainment.[62] 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.[63][64] 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.[65]

On February 3, 2006, Jameson hosted a "Vivid ClubJenna Super Bowl Party" with several other ClubJenna and Vivid Girls at the Zoo Club in Detroit, Michigan for a $500 to $1,000 ticket price.[66] It featured a lingerie show, but no planned nudity or sex acts.[67] When first announced, the party caused controversy with the National Football League, which did not sanction this as an official Super Bowl event.[68] For 2007, Jameson signed up to play quarterback in the Lingerie Bowl, but retired due to her insurance company's damage concerns. She instead acted as commentator.[69]

On June 22, 2006, Playboy Enterprises announced that it had bought ClubJenna Inc., along with an agreement to have both Jameson and Grdina stay on as contracted executives. Playboy CEO Christie Hefner said that she expected to rapidly increase film production, producing about thirty 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.[70] On November 1, 2006, Playboy renamed one of the Spice Network's pay-per-view channels from The Hot Network to ClubJenna.[71]

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 revenue earned by Patrick's website, clubtera.com.[72]

Books Main article: 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 in 2003. 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,[73] and Spanish as Cómo Hacer El Amor Igual Que Una Estrella Porno in January 2006.[74]

The book covers her early career from her beginning in show business living with her tattoo artist boyfriend, through receiving the Pornographic Hot d'Or award at Cannes, and wedding pictures from her second marriage.[75] It does not omit sordid details, describing her two rapes, drug addictions, an unhappy first marriage, and numerous affairs with men and women.[25] The first-person narrative is broken up by personal photos, childhood diary entries, family interviews, movie scripts, and comic panels.[76]

The autobiography publisher, Judith Regan, also served as executive producer of a tie-in television news special, Jenna Jameson's Confessions,[77] airing on VH1 on August 16, 2004, one day before the book's launch.[78] 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 then-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."[79] Jameson's suit claimed that the A&E deal preceded the ReganBooks contract.[80] The reality series had still not materialized, and the lawsuit was still being discussed, when HarperCollins fired Judith Regan on December 15, 2006, over an unrelated issue.[81]

In January 2007, Jameson was reported in talks with producers on turning the autobiography into a movie. In March 2007, Jameson was reportedly missing meetings with producers, thus endangering the movie, due to problems with a recent vaginoplasty.[82][83]

In April 2013, Jameson announced she was working on a fictional erotic novel called Sugar. It was co-written with Hope Tarr and published by Skyhorse Publishing. It was released on October 21, 2013.[84]

Mainstream appearances Jameson is also known for achieving a high level of celebrity outside of pornography – even bringing pornography itself closer to mainstream society's awareness and acceptance.[18][25][58] 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.[4] 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.[85][86] This film appearance was the beginning of a series of non-porn film and television roles. In 1997, Jameson made an appearance for an Extreme Championship Wrestling pay-per-view, Hardcore Heaven '97 as the valet for The Dudley Boyz; another appearance at ECW Living Dangerously on March 1, 1998; and a few months where she was ECW's on-screen interviewer.[87] In 1998, she filmed a vignette with Val Venis, a character in the WWE, for airing on WWE programming. In the late 1990s, Jameson guest hosted several episodes of the E! cable network's hit travel/adventure/party show Wild On!, appearing scantily clad in tropical locations.[4][12] Jameson was featured and interviewed on the British television show "European Blue Review" on Channel 5.[88]

Jameson appeared in a 2001 music video for the Eminem song "Without Me."[89] She can be seen in bed with Eminem as one of the "two trailer park girls" that "go round the outside."[90] Jameson voiced an animated version of herself in a July 2001 episode of Family Guy entitled "Brian Does Hollywood". Her character won an award for acting in a porn film directed by Brian Griffin, and at the close of the episode Peter Griffin kidnaps her. In 2002, 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.[91] 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".[92] 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.[93] In 2003, Jameson appeared in two episodes of the NBC prime time television show Mister Sterling as the girlfriend of a political financier.[12][49]

In the months following the publication of her autobiography, she was interviewed on NBC, CNBC, Fox News, and CNN,[8] and the book was reviewed by The New York Times, Reuters, and other major media outlets.[75][76]

Jameson was featured prominently in Samhain, a low budget horror film in which she starred with other pornographic actresses including Ginger Lynn Allen. It was filmed in 2002, but had sat unreleased until 2005, when it was re-cut and released as Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain.[94] She had another minor horror film role in Sin-Jin Smyth, delayed from release until late 2006.[95]

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.[91][96] Mediaweek called her the biggest name attached to the project.[97] In April 2006, Jameson was the star of a video podcast ad for Adidas, advertising Adicolor shoes by playing a provocative game of whack a mole.[98] In July 2006, Jameson became the first pornographic actress to have a wax model at Madame Tussauds (in the Las Vegas museum).[99] Jameson made an appearance in the U.S. reality TV show The Simple Life in the fifth season episode "Committed", broadcast on July 1, 2007; Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, while working in a "love camp", brought her in to help throw a "love ceremony" vow for the five dysfunctional couples. In 2008 Jameson had another starring role in the comedy horror film Zombie Strippers, loosely based on Eugène Ionesco's classic play Rhinoceros.[100]

On August 27, 2015, Jameson became a contestant on the sixteenth series of the UK reality series Celebrity Big Brother, representing the USA.[101][102] On September 22, she became the sixth housemate to be evicted on Day 27, just two days short from the final.

Controversial mainstream appearances Some of her mainstream appearances sparked controversy. An interview with 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.[103] The campaign was joined by parents and Christian conservative groups, and got the Quarterly removed from shelves and eventually canceled in 2003.[104]

In November 2001, the 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."[105] In the end, her side won the debate 204 to 27.[12]

In February 2003, Pony International planned to feature her as one of several pornographic actors 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 pornographic actors inappropriate role models for teens.[106] In response, The Harvard Crimson proposed a boycott of O'Reilly and Fox News.[107] Jameson herself sent 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.[108]

Jameson with former husband Jay Grdina, at the XBIZ Awards in November 2005 In 2004 Jameson stated that she was bisexual, and that she had had sex with 100 women and 30 men off-screen in her life,[7] but by 2008 she described herself as "totally hetero."[134] She has stated the best relationship she ever had was her lesbian relationship 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.[12][18] Famous boyfriends discussed in her autobiography include Marilyn Manson[135] and Tommy Lee.[4][12][35]

On December 20, 1996, Jameson married porn star/Wicked Pictures director Brad Armstrong (real name Rodney Hopkins).[4][18] The marriage lasted just 10 weeks. Although they informally separated in March 1997, she remained contractually obligated to work on Wicked Pictures projects involving both of them. They legally separated and divorced in March 2001, after Brad discovered her sexual affair with Jorge Araya Montoya (whom she met on a visit to Costa Rica).[4]

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.[6][136] From 1998 until Jameson's retirement, Grdina was Jameson's only on-screen male sex partner, acting under the name Justin Sterling. They were engaged in December 2000, well before her divorce from Armstrong/Hopkins,[4] and married June 22, 2003.[1] They tried to have children from mid-2004 onwards, as Jameson had planned to retire from adult entertainment upon becoming a mother.[6][7][9] The couple resided in Scottsdale, Arizona, in a 6,700-square-foot (620 m2) Spanish-style mansion, bought for $2 million in 2002.[1]

In November 2004, Jameson was diagnosed with skin cancer. Though surgery removed it, she miscarried shortly after the diagnosis. She was unable to conceive again with Grdina, 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 stresses of the cancer plus infertility led to her marriage's collapse.[137] In August 2006, Star magazine and TMZ.com confirmed with Jameson's publicist that she and Grdina had separated.[138][139]

In October 2006, it was reported that Jameson began dating mixed martial artist and former UFC champion Tito Ortiz,[140] whom she met on Myspace.[141] Ortiz canceled 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.[142][143] On November 30, 2006, in an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Ortiz stated that he was in love with Jameson, that she was no longer acting in pornography, and that they were in a monogamous relationship.[144] On December 12, 2006, Jameson filed for divorce from Grdina.[145] She introduced Ortiz and talked about their relationship at the 2008 AVN Adult Movie Awards while she was presenting an award. She also made brief appearances on two episodes of The Celebrity Apprentice to help Ortiz on the tasks assigned in those episodes.

Jameson announced in August 2008 that she and Ortiz were expecting twins in April 2009.[146] On March 16, 2009, Jameson gave birth to twin boys, Jesse Jameson and Journey Jette.[147][148] Jameson and Ortiz split up in March 2013. Ortiz was granted full custody of the twins.[149]

Jameson's father, Laurence Henry Massoli, died on October 2, 2010, after suffering complications from triple bypass surgery.[150][151]

In an interview with Larry King in 2013, Jameson stated that she was raised Catholic and still considers herself religious, saying, "I've always been extremely Catholic."[152] In June 2015, Jameson announced that she is converting to Judaism, as she was intending to marry her Israeli partner, Lior Bitton.[153][154] In October, an Israel Channel 2 reality television series was announced, which would document Jameson's conversion.[155]

As of 2014, Jameson has undergone extensive tattooing, almost completely covering both of her arms in sleeve tattoos.[156] In 2013, self-proclaimed socialite and writer Britney Markham became Jameson's personal assistant after having met on Twitter. In a 2014 interview with LA Weekly, Markham claimed that Jameson would make requests for drugs. Markham posited that the pills of choice were Xanax, Ambien and Suboxone along with alcohol. At the same time, Markham denied that Jameson had been taking Oxycodone, in spite of previous rumors. Markham claims to have been assaulted and battered by Jameson following an incident in a hair salon in Los Angeles in 2013 when Jameson punched Markham in the stomach with a brass knuckles iPhone case. The blow was so severe, Markham claims she vomited blood and was hospitalized.[156]

Political views After viewing undercover videos of chicken production, Jameson agreed to do a short video for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals as part of the group's campaign against KFC's treatment of chickens.[157]

Jameson supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2008 United States presidential election,[158][159] but Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 United States presidential election, stating: "I'm very looking forward to a Republican being back in office. When you're rich, you want a Republican in office."[160]

Legal issues On April 26, 2010, Ortiz was arrested for felony domestic abuse at the couple's Huntington Beach, California home.[161] Jameson was photographed afterward that day with a bandaged arm,[161] amid accusations by both parties against each other, with Ortiz accusing Jameson of being erratic and addicted to OxyContin, while she alleged that he was abusive. Since the incident occurred, both parties have recanted these allegations that were made toward one another, though as of April 29, 2010, the investigation by the police department remained open.[162]

On May 25, 2012, Jameson was arrested in Westminster, California and charged with three misdemeanor counts for driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, driving with a blood-alcohol level over the state legal limit, and driving on a suspended license after her Range Rover struck a light pole. She initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, but later changed her plea to guilty. She was sentenced to three years of informal probation, ordered to pay $340 in fines, and participate in a Mothers Against Drunk Driving victims' impact panel. The charge for driving without a valid license was dismissed.[163][164]

She studied ballet, but it was stripping that started her on her road to superstardom. Dancing led to nude modeling, and by her 20th birthday she had appeared in dozens of top men's mags, including "Penthouse", "Hustler", "High Society" and "Cheri". A visit to a porn set piqued her interest in a hardcore career, and Wicked Pictures signed her to an exclusive contract after a bidding war. It took only a few releases for Jenna to become the most popular young starlet around. She catapulted to the top of the porn heap, and in 1996 she scored an unprecedented triple crown by taking home the XRCO Best New Starlet, the F.O.X.E. Video Vixen and the AVN Best New Starlet awards. Jenna has been branching out into more mainstream projects lately, including a featured role in Howard Stern's Private Parts (1997). She remains one of the most popular pornstresses in the industry today. - IMDb Mini Biography By: fargalaxy < fargalaxy@hotmail.com>

Personal Quotes (10) I try my hardest to push the point that I am a feminist. I really think it's important that people know that the women in this industry are empowered. They run it, man. It's awesome. [in response to a question at the 2003 X-Rated Critics Organization Awards] Is it just me, or is a porn award show just not the right place to be discussing your thoughts on the war? I know that when I do get pregnant, I won't step one foot in the adult industry again. The funny thing about being a porn star is that everyone automatically assumes that they can sleep with you. This is what I do for a living. I don't just let anyone get into my pants. Making eye contact during rough sex is roughly the equivalent trying to read Fyodor Dostoevsky on a rollercoaster. I don't know exactly what I'm going to say to my sons, but I do know that I want them to understand that their mother loves them. I don't worry about what people think. I worry about what my sons think. The moment you become a porn star, you will always be a porn star for the rest of your life. [on Cindy Crawford] I kept getting a weird vibe from her. I knew what it meant, because I'd experienced it so many times before, but I kept dismissing it. It couldn't be true; she was Cindy Crawford. When I turned my back... Cindy reached over and rubbed the back of my neck. "Ooh", she cooed. "Look at your beautiful tattoo." She touched my neck so softly and sensually. Though watching porn may seem degrading to some women, the fact is that it's one of the few jobs for women where you can get to a certain level, look around, and feel so powerful, not just in the work environment but as a sexual being. So fuck Gloria Steinem. To this day, I can't watch my own sex scenes.

החלה להופיע בסרטים פורנוגרפיים בשנת 1993, לאחר שעבדה תקופה קצרה כחשפנית וכדוגמנית. בשנת 2000 הקימה חברת הפקות לסרטי פורנוגרפיה שזכתה להצלחה רבה. ג'יימסון חרגה מתחומי הפורנוגרפיה, ולעתים קרובות היא מתארחת בתוכניות טלוויזיה ומופיעה גם בסרטים שאינם פורנוגרפיים, ודמותה אף נכללה במספר משחקי מחשב. בשנת 2004 פרסמה אוטוביוגרפיה שהפכה לרב-מכר בעל תפוצה עולמית.

המשפחה התגוררה באזורים מוכי פשע, ובאוטוביוגרפיה שלה ג'יימסון טוענת כי בשנת 1990 הותקפה ונאנסה על ידי ארבעה נערים במונטנה, שם התגוררה המשפחה באותה עת. לטענתה נאנסה בשנית באותה שנה על ידי דודו של חברה הראשון. לאחר האונס עזבה את ביתה ועברה להתגורר עם אותו חבר. היא כותבת:

"האם אני עוסקת בתחום מרצוני החופשי או משום שהייתי קורבן לתקיפה? האם זה משום שפשוט רציתי להצטיין במשהו? חשבתי על כך רבות ותמיד הגעתי לאותה מסקנה: האונס לא השפיע על החלטתי. הוא התרחש בשלב מאוחר מדי מכדי לעצב את אישיותי. הייתי הופכת לכוכבת פורנו בכל מקרה. ביליתי אצל מספיק פסיכולוגים כדי להיות בטוחה בזה". הקריירה בתחום הפורנוגרפיה[%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9B%D7%AA קוד מקור | עריכה] Jenna Jameson 2008.jpg בעקבות אמה, החלה מסולי לחפש עבודה כחשפנית (Showgirl) במועדוני לילה בלאס וגאס. מרבית המועדונים אליהם פנתה דחו אותה בגלל גובהה (170 ס"מ), שהיה נמוך מהמינימום שחשפניות במופעים אלו נדרשו לו. לבסוף התקבלה לעבודה במועדון "Vegas World", אולם פרשה מהמשרה לאחר חודשיים מפאת חוסר שביעות רצון מתנאי ההעסקה והשכר. ב-1991 פנתה למועדון חשפנות בלאס וגאס, אך זה לא הסכים להעסיקה בשל הגשר שעל שיניה. היא הסירה את הגשר בעצמה באמצעות צבת והתקבלה לעבודה כחשפנית, אף שהייתה צעירה מכדי לעסוק בכך באופן חוקי, תוך שימוש במסמך מזהה מזויף שעל פיו הייתה בגירה. שישה חודשים לאחר שהתחילה בעבודה, ולפני שסיימה את בית הספר התיכון, הרוויחה כאלפיים דולר ללילה בעבודתה כחשפנית. בדומה לחשפניות רבות, השתמשה מסולי בשם במה. שם הבמה הראשון שלה היה "ג'נסיס". את השם המאוחר יותר, "ג'יימסון", בחרה לאחר חיפוש שם במה שיתאים לשמה הפרטי.

בשנת 1991 הצטלמה לראשונה בעירום בלוס אנג'לס אצל הצלמת סוז רנדל, מתוך תקווה שתמונותיה יפורסמו במגזין פנטהאוז. היא השתכרה 300 דולר ליום צילומים, ללא זכויות על הצילומים. לאחר שתצלומיה הופיעו, תחת שמות שונים, במספר מגזינים לגברים, החליטה לעזוב את רנדל מתוך תחושה שזו מנצלת אותה. בשנת 1993 הופיעה לראשונה בסרט אירוטי בהפקה חובבנית והפכה במהרה לשחקנית פורנו מבוקשת. עד שנת 1996 זכתה בשלושת הפרסים החשובים של תעשיית הסרטים הפורנוגרפיים האמריקאית ל"כשרונות חדשים".

ג'יימסון החלה להשתמש בסמים כבר בהיותה בבית ספר תיכון. היא נטלה LSD, קוקאין ומתאמפטמינים, בין היתר בלוויית אחיה (שהיה מכור להרואין) ואביה. היא פיתחה התמכרות שהחריפה במהלך השנים עד שהיוותה סיכון לחייה. כתוצאה מהתמכרותה סבלה מאנורקסיה קשה וב-1994 שקלה פחות מ-35 קילוגרם והייתה מרותקת לכיסא גלגלים. לאחר מספר חודשי גמילה ושיקום עברה להתגורר בלוס אנג'לס.

לאחר שיקומה עברה סדרת ניתוחים להגדלת החזה ולעיצוב הסנטר ושבה לעסוק בפורנו. ב-1995 השתתפה במספר סרטים עתירי תקציב והפכה במהרה לכוכבת הפורנו המפורסמת והמצליחה בעולם. עד שנת 1996 זכתה במספר הגדול ביותר של פרסי תעשיית הפורנו לשחקנית. ג'יימסון אף הייתה לשחקנית הפורנו הראשונה שפסל שעווה שלה הוצג במוזיאון מאדאם טוסו. ניהלה מאבק ציבורי למען זכויותיהן של חשפניות ושחקניות פורנו ואף הובילה עצומות ומאמצי חקיקה בנושא.

ב-15 בינואר 2008, לאחר 17 שנים של פעילות, הודיעה ג'נה על פרישתה מתעשיית הפורנוגרפיה. בהודעתה לעיתונות אמרה: "אני לעולם לא אפשק יותר את הרגליים בשביל התעשייה. החיים שלי מדהימים. יש לי גבר יפה שדואג לי, תודה על התמיכה שלכם".

פנייתה לעסקים[%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9B%D7%AA קוד מקור | עריכה] בשנת 1998 פגשה את ג'יי גרדינה, מפיק ובמאי של סרטי פורנוגרפיה. השניים החלו להופיע יחד בסרטים ובשנת 2000 הקימו חברה בשם "מועדון ג'נה" (Club Jenna) העוסקת בהפקת סרטיה והפצתם באינטרנט. החברה גם מפיקה ומנהלת אתרים של כוכבות פורנו אחרות. החברה נחלה הצלחה רבה: עד שנת 2005 הגיעו הכנסותיה לכ-30 מיליון דולר לשנה ופרסומות לאתר הדגל של החברה מופיעות לעתים על מסך גדול בכיכר טיימס בניו יורק. החברה מעסיקה מעל 150 שחקנים. ג'יימסון מחזיקה בבעלותה רשת מועדוני חשפנות. בעקבות הצלחתה דורגה ג'יימסון ב-2005 ברשימת 100 הידוענים של הירחון הכלכלי "פורבס"‏[3]. ב-2006 רכשה חברת פלייבוי את הבעלות על "מועדון ג'נה".

בשנת 2004 פרסמה ג'יימסון אוטוביוגרפיה, בשם "כיצד לעשות אהבה כמו כוכבת פורנו" (How to Make Love Like a Porn Star). הספר הפך מיד לרב-מכר, הופיע שישה שבועות ברשימת רבי המכר של הניו יורק טיימס, ותורגם לשפות רבות. האוטוביוגרפיה נכתבה בסיועו של ניל שטראוס, מבקר מוזיקה ועיתונאי בניו יורק טיימס ובמגזין הרולינג סטון. מאז פרסום ספרה הופיעה ג'יימסון כשחקנית במספר סרטי אימה, במספר משחקי מחשב (כאשר Grand Theft Auto: Vice City הוא הבולט מביניהם) ובתפקידים קטנים במספר סדרות טלוויזיה, וכן נבחרה להוביל את קמפיין הפרסום של חברת אדידס.

חרף פרסומה הרב, עדיין יש הנמנעים מאירוח פומבי שלה, עקב עיסוקה בפורנוגרפיה. בנובמבר 2006 ביטל ידידה, המתאבק טיטו אורטיז, הופעה במסיבה של חיל הנחתים האמריקני, לאחר שהמארגנים סירבו לבקשתו לצרף את ג'יימסון כבת לווייתו.‏[4]

עמדותיה הפוליטיות[%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9B%D7%AA קוד מקור | עריכה] באוגוסט 2012 הודיעה ג'יימסון לכלי התקשורת, במהלך אירוע חגיגי במועדון החשפנות "Gold Club", כי היא תומכת במיט רומני לקראת הבחירות לנשיאות ארצות הברית וכי היא "מצפה בכיליון עיניים לנשיא רפובליקני בחזרה בבית הלבן". לדעתה, "כשאתה עשיר, אתה רוצה נשיא רפובליקני"‏[5].
