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.

This trash should never be a mother. Jesus wept.
This requires a "Decontamination Shower Alert"...
jesus would be the first to grab a towel, cover her, and ask her to follow him...
Light years worse than Cher, Britney, Hillary, and Rosanne combined. Let us see how proud she is when she contracts AIDS.
I don't think she's a villain. I think she got mixed up in a seedy industry, but I think she is trying to find her way. BTW, who is buying all her tapes? The mainstream of America is--that's who. Porn has gone mainstream.
there's a lot of hypocrisy going on when people direct all there rage at her.
And each time, most likely, the child did not survive long enough to be born.
the rest would be up to her.
If you've ever seen her comment on what she does, you'll see she's no victim. She has no shame whatsoever.
She's done her part to glamorize the industry and to recruit new "talent" for its ravening maw.
She's one of the bad guys.
Ahem. Strange to be the first to say this... Pics?
Big deal. There are a lot of people getting off to her videos. Lots of republicans I bet too.
Would she be in business if there wasn't such high demand???
She is under 30, she is hardly the puppeteer in all of this.
Ah, I was wondering who would be the one to cast the first stone...
Yeah, you're right. But it is freedom, and it is capitalism at work. Which is something every Conservative should believe strongly in, doesn't mean you agree with what she does. Capitalism works both ways, it allows us to promote our agenda, as well as Liberals to promote theirs. Socialism only includes them.
The people that are denigrating Jameson are the ones buying her XXX material.
I guess some people have never heard of capitalism, even if it is seedy.
I guess I'm a bad person, because I attended her book signing in my town a few weeks ago. The strangest part was that she looked practically wholesome compared to some of the girls in line - they looked like they thought tryouts for porn were going to be held after the signing.
