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.

An excellent point, Flev.
Good point. Imdb.com also says Jenna Marie Massoli was born April 9, 1974 in Las Vegas.
There is another thread going on here about legalizing prostitution, and I find it interesting that the majority of actresses in the porn industry come from Las Vegas.
Somehow I doubt you'd be saying that if (not likely, of course) she came out for Bush, or for the war on Iraq.
"This trash should never be a mother. Jesus wept."
The biblical story about Mary Magdalane teaches what?
You spout off like you're putting yourself into God's job.
She is under 30, she is hardly the puppeteer in all of this.
According to the Internet Movie Database, she herself has said:
"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."
She doesn't come across as just a pawn in the game.
Have you ever watched a porn? Did you enjoy it?
I do think she is under 30.
She is making a living, paying taxes and is a bit player in the coarsening of American culture. If she is a prositute, she has millions of Johns who carpool, mow the lawn, preach, tithe, do volunteer work, walk the beat in tough cities, go to foreign lands to defend freedom, bake cookies, keep a clean house and raise smart, decent kids.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Jenna. :^)
Yeah, when she was 18 and cherry popping Daddies in the Valley with home film studios gave her 1,500 dollars to screw strange men on video, she was the puppeteer.
The truth is porn is run by men. It needs women, but it is men that recruit and direct and film these movies. Making an under 30 year old woman the focus of evil is sexism.
It is by men for men and watched primarily by men.
Yeah, i noticed a while back you deleted some things from your freeper home page.
The difference is that, theoretically at least, 12 year olds don't get to see porn stars perform.
Why draw the line, what difference does it make whether it has Satanic overtones or Child Porn or is S&M or not? Isn't that moral relativism?
I'm surprised JimRob didn't ban me from minute one. :^) But I decided not to take the chance. Anyhoo, got enough eye candy now...
Thank you, at least a few here listened to what Jesus said and did.... sadly many others cast their stones, and inexplicably do so in his name.
Where's the fun in that? ;)
Nonsense! At least Jenna's honest about what she is.
Yeah, Pics Please.
How do you raise decent kids when you are watching and enjoying porn? You are leading a double life where both are fake.
