Sing, Muse, of your meteoric ascent from a seething pit of pure, all-American white trash.
Sing, also, of five-figure fees for one evening's striptease, and of six-figure film contracts for the company you built.
Sing of rape and addiction and suicide, of thieves and junkies and lies, of vodka, Vicodin, and crystal meth.
But most of all, sing of Sex.
The muse invoked here is, of course, porn goddess Jenna Jameson (formerly Massoli), the star of countless adult films, magazines, and strip clubs -- and CEO of ClubJenna Inc., her film production and online licensing company.
"How To Make Love Like A Porn Star" is her latest product, an autobiography in the form of a rant interspersed with detritus from her life's ricochets, including a sample adult film contract, entries from her diary, comics, and the sprawling transcript from a recent family reunion (which reads like a police blotter).
(snip)
Jameson now sits atop a multimedia company which sells hundreds of thousands of copies of films it produces and innumerable downloads of video clips. She manages over a dozen porn stars. Her club appearances earn her up to $25,000 per show.
And yes, she is married (to producer Jay Grdina) and looks forward to retirement and motherhood, now both comfortably within reach.
So sing, Muse, of a messed-up kid from a ditch on the wrong side of the tracks who climbed to the top of a $3 billion industry, using only the power of her ambition and body.
Sing, Muse, of the glory of America.

Probably Larry King's next main squeeze.
Leave it to CNN to glorify American societal decay...
Interesting question. I think, unless they have a criminal record or drug habit, I really would not be bothered by it. They are engaging in a legal activity outside of their child-care employment.
In some states, you are disqualified from being a foster parent if you own a handgun. What's your take on that?
On Lifetime movies, men are either:
A) Rapists
B) Murderers, or
C) Both
Hey, we're FR! Everybody's bidness is our bidness!
Why else would a thread on a "reviled" porn star get 140 replies in less than an hour? ;)
He could try a catalog wife...
Of course I disagree with that, but I would presume that the foster parent is not sitting at home on the couch flipping the gun around in his or her hand and shooting holes in the ceiling. Not that porn is equivalent to doing that, but if you would be willing to leave your children in the care of a porn star for eight hours of the day, you're a better person than I.
I stand corrected. Still one of the funniest episodes of any sitcom in history. My dad laughed so hard I thought he'd pee his pants. I know I almost did.
Don't they have sensitive-gay-friend men to comfort the women after being raped and/or almost murdered?
"...before I got married, I had a huge stash of porno. My wife had a problem with it, and I threw it away."
By definition a GIRLY-MAN.
But that wasn't the point. Your point was not that this was not the PLACE to opine, but that the ACT of opining based on her morals made one an "a-hole".
I'm sure parent-teacher night will be a something else for any child of this pair.
"What do your parents do, Joey?"
"Well, Dad's a pimp and Mom's a skanky ho."
D) Wife beaters

Telling. :^)
How about a warning before something so freaking funny, huh? I almost spit out my food.
Come now. If porn "destroys" a marriage, there wasn't much there in the first place to destroy, now was there?
Almost forgot that one.
Consumption of porn indicates a sadistic streak. Enjoying the sense of power of watching a beautiful woman being degraded. A sadistic streak can be mild or truly dangerous. Why feed it ?
I suppose when cultural discussion is not relevant on FR Jim Robinson will alert us.
What if your kids do not know you watch porn?
