It's a real shame she didn't get the cover. Who cares about Tom Cruise, anymore? I hope she has success with her book and wish her well on her book tour.
Some people love her and some people hate her but I think she really is a nice, warm-hearted person. She really has worked very, very hard to get where she is. I hope her and Jason Grdina start a large, healthy family and I hope Jenna finds peace.
I totally feel that she has to move beyond the adult industry. not do an occasional role here or there. I mean move the hell on. have kids and start a family then she'll get a whole lot less of questions like "how was your first sexual experience?" I think she's a great performer but it's probably time for her to move COMPLETELY out of the industry unless that's all she wants to ever be remembered as.
The article doesn't exactly make her or her marriage sound sane does it? It sounds as if she's a hermit prima donna and her husband has her under house arrest.
I thought the article was an interesting read...it just goes to show how much Jenna's been through to get where she is today. Much props to her! Her book is gonna be a real eye-opener I can tell!
That was an interesting read, thanks. I am very anxious to buy JenJam's book, I'm sure it will become a best-seller. Hope she stops in Vegas (which I'm sure she will) for her book tour. It's odd...JenJam says she's bi, but I guess I always thought she considered herself to be more straight than bi. Glad she cleared that up for me. lol. I think her hubby is cool, and very good to and for her. Edited by - TwigNBerries on 8/11/2004 9:56:08 PM
.. Okay that was really disturbing. It was really sad that she doesn't want to leave her house, and that he has cameras all over the place and doesn't want her to leave or be alone???? Maybe she is afraid so he has the cameras?
I wonder what they have to say about this article?? Does anyone think this was misconstrued by the writer??
and... I just don't get the shoes comment...Grdina said,"
["Oh, yeah, look at those shoes," says Grdina. "Those are hot, baby. You're going to come home later, and they're going to be a little bit tighter, 'cause I'm going to have had some fun with them."]---Rolling Stone
What the hell does that mean???
I wish her well and a baby.
I never try anything. I just do it. Wanna try me? The truth is just an excuse for a lack of imagination.
his shoe comment was disturbing and so is half of that article.
when those two make a film about "straight" men enjoying a strap-on in the butt, and her husband is smiling all the way as she plows him I won't be shocked.

Was that the whole article that will appear in the actual magazine or just a snippet? If it was the whole thing, I would bet you The Queen is not too thrilled with that write up.
I don't get the whole not leaving the house thing though. It seemed a bit melodramatic. I'm in Scottsdale, Arizona alot and it just doesn't seem like that's the type of environment that one would be scared of... Famous or not. But I could be wrong. I'm not known for having sex on film, so maybe the recognition can get a little creepy.
And she does seem a little bitter. Maybe not bitter, just maybe not entirely thrilled with the way life/the porn biz has taken her. Perhaps money to her isn't everything.
Or maybe she has grown up and the luster of the Adult Biz has just worn off. I would bet that's it.
On the other hand this article could be a hatchet job meant to make her look less the stellar. Like I said earlier, either way, she can't be too happy with the way she came across in that article.
That article is pretty lame even for the modern day Rollin' Stone . There aren't many true insights and even the agenda that the author's clearly tying to push receives nothing more than a D grade .
The only points of interest - JJ was raped (twice ?) in her youth , JJ and hubby have many scenes in the can , and Jenna has some freaky fans ( stop the press ) .
Is Jenna going to retire ? Doesn't everyone . Does she not entirely enjoy her work ? Many women I know feel the same . Will a baby provide her with a get out of jail card ? ( a few women - in high powered and earning jobs - have admitted similar feelings to me )
who is this Jay Grdina, is he Justin Sterling becuase I have just watched "The Masseuse" and the only two guys listed are Evan Stone and Justin Sterling?!?!
Yeah, that's him... same guy Justin Sterling = Jay Grdina
...and the shoes thing.. Okay, now I get it... That seems like an awful lot of work for sexual satisfaction.
I love shoes and all. I get this lovely glow when I think about them, but if a guy did that on my favorite pair I would be pissed.
Especially if he didn't wipe.. haha
The truth is just an excuse for a lack of imagination.
I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: "No good in a bed, but fine up against a wall". ~Eleanor Roosevelt
Ok, I told myself I wasn't going to reply to this thread... but here goes. My life isn't exactly normal, I mean, I have groups of people coming to my front door everyday trying to get autographs and talk to me... I get bum rushed when I try to get my mail! It has nothing to do with being paranoid, or Jay trying to keep me locked in the house, I take precautions, just like any of YOU would if you were in my shoes. Secondly, I am home a total of about a week a month, so when I am here, I like to relax and spend time with my husband and dogs. Next, I am thrilled with my life as a porn star, and it bothers me that any of you would question that. I have always been the biggest supporter of the adult industry and I have never once turned my back on anyone who has chosen to be involved in it. I love absolutely everything that comes along with being an adult star. But, you have to understand, I, just like everyone else... Get bored and bothered by what I do, just like if I had a nine to five job. That doesn't mean I'm DISTURBED. Another thing, I don't appreciate the comment about my husband, he is a kind, amazingly talented man that loves me and defends me and sticks by me through everything. So, the stupid little remarks about the strap ons and him being creepy is completely uncalled for. I opened myself up and allowed everyone inside, because I thought it was important for everyone to see the other side of the shiny exterior. I'm certainly not trying to be confrontational, but, I thought that some of these comments were taken totally out of context....
Well, good luck with your book, book tour and future projects.
I don't anyone has ever acheived all that you have in the adult world and it has to have turned your life crazy. I think you're staying sane, though. You appear to have a good, sound mind and sense of humor about the situation.
hey, I'm not afraid to say it. the comments your husband made about your shoes whether tongue in cheek or not were disturbing. whether they were made they way or not a star like yourself should've had final approaval or what they printed.
Hey DVDWishes, You are acting foolish. My husband said the comment about my shoes as a joke... Come on now, you have to know that... He was trying to make me laugh... Do you really think that my husband spooges on my shoes when I'm away? My husband is more man than anyone I know, so I'm not worried. Oh, maybe you should try to lighten up a bit...
DVDWishes, have you actually met Jay in person? I did and guess what he's a really great guy and not creepy at all so if that's the impression you got from the article then I can say it's completely wrong. Maybe it's better to wait for the book rather than to speculate based on this tiny isolated bits of information in the RS piece. Chill! 8)
An ex and I had to change our locks one time . It wasn't shoes , but it was still disturbing - and yucky ! Frankly when it comes to the things that turn people on nothing surprises me anymore .
BTW I haven't heard that Eleanor Roosevelt quote before . It's great !
Jenna , are you still affiliated with FHM , or FHM UK ? I always wondered just how much input a star has on articles they 'write' . Not meaning to be offensive , just curious is all . If you're actually free to say that is .
I'm not the only one who thinks it sounded strange. just the only person who decided to say something about it. the way I read it sounded like he's wearing your shoes. nothing wrong with a foot fetish. I have one myself. wearing them is another story, and that other thing, no thanks.
I thought that it was a joke from the beginning.. but still, exactly what did make you think that? He said "shoes will be tighter". How's that possible if he was wearing them, eh?
My opinion was based solely on the article's content and I bet everyone else formed their opinion based on that article as well. Read it objectively and you may understand where we're coming from.
Unfortunately I have no way to know what the real Jenna is like and realize that there is no way I ever will. Regardless of how many videos or documentaries I watch, books or articles I read. And I think that's the way it is supposed to be.
It really doesn't matter to me if you care or interact with your fans (but it is admittedly cool.) All I care about is the art and fantasy that you've given and for that I say thanks.
Yes, precisely. The aricle was also written by a woman; don't know if it's relevant, but it could be. Look at the very first sentence, "Jenna Jameson has no porn in her house". This is a powerful opening statement. Basically, whole paragraph screams, "JJ hates fucking porn." Clearly, the author tried to create certain image of her, which appears to be incorrect in the end, fortunately.. hopefully. I mean if it was some one else, I wouldn't care; but JJ being pissed at the industry will create raptures in space time continuum.
I am in no way angry at the industry. I LOVE THE INDUSTRY. When you do these kind of interviews, you never reallyknow what the interviewer will take away from it. She followed me during the AVn awards, which was a very hectic time for me, since I was hosting. I am always so bogged down with interviews and cameras jacked up my ass, it gets a little irritating. She may have figured I hated what I do, because the focus was how I wanted to be normal... Or what everyone out there considers normal... I am not that worried about it, because my book explains in length my life. But, I do agree, the article casts a little bit of a dark cloud on me, but everything can't be fluff!
Well I hope you write in to Rolling Stone letting them know they didn't get the whole vibe you were trying to get across so they can print that as well!! BTW hope you shoot Melissa Lauren for one of your movies this girl is fucking hot!!
Oh Jenna, while you are here, I just remembered something. Sorry, it's off topic.. but could you perhaps give any info regarding Vivid's re-make of Devil in Miss Jones (featuring you and directed by Paul Thomas) which was announced nearly a year ago. We basically haven't heard about it ever since. Was it cancelled or something?
And also, are there any plans to go on international (signing) tour with your book?
DMJ is slated for release next year, I don't have an exact date on it... But it definitely will be a blockbuster! I will be touring Europe soon, just finalizing dates. I will post cities once I get word!
I'm glad Jenna decided to post in this thread. Even though, she shouldn't have to explain herself, or the article.
Jay is a funny guy and a complete jokester...you can't take him seriously all the time LOL...just listen to the DVD commentaries he and Jenna have done together! LOL!
Hi Jenna, Your fans know that you love the industry, and an aticle like this won't change our minds. You've showed us how much you love the industry through your films. I know some stars must feel guilty when they leave the industry, but the way I see it, have your fun, make money, and leave when you're ready. If having a family is what you want, and leaving the biz is what you want, we'll understand. Our dvd players will be working overtime, but we'll understand (lol). I wish you all the best, and happy baby-making! I'm looking forward to your book coming out. Will you be doing a book tour? Think you'll stop in Vegas? Oh, nevermind, Jenna. I just read your tour schedule. See you on the 27th. I'll be the cute one. :)
Love, S.

U love the industry... no ones questions that ..if u do ..dont watch porn! Will u retire ? Everyone does .... my question to u is ...Would u rather leave the world because u got pregnant or because u wanna get pregnant ?? I not judging here @ all ... I apologize early ...
Im a fan ... huge fan u can say .. But its not just about the films u've done... For me its the whole package deal... The looks, the body, the fame , the $$, the VIP, the way the heads just turn when ur seen comin... All that in 1 woman.... Honestly ... Dont u think ppl were a bit upset (celebs incl) that u had a billboard hangin in Times Square TWICE!!! Who else accomplished that feat!!! Hon , ur as mainstream as the rest of the Hollywood circuit in my book!!! Not to forget mentioning... of the package u are... U also do Porn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats the bonus!!!!!
Love ya ! (Outkast) Forever, forever, ever, forever, ever
WOW, thanks so much... I really needed to hear these things right now. With my tour coming up and all of the TV interviews, it feels good to have people on my side!

Kisses, JJ

Jenna, I'll throw 2 cents in here.
The more someone's star rises, the more some people just try and bring it down. Keep going and do your thing that makes you happy.
I haven't really read the piece but it doesn't look that bad. It's probably a tad packaged, but I also think industry folks and fans can be a little sensitive. The exposure is worth a lot, and Jenna's one of the few who could get that kind of play.
Fake British accent ? WTF ! I thought that sort of thing only happened in the movies . Yeah , as if us English dudes are so worth imitating . Crazies !
Jenna don't worry about those comments..You are a live legend in the adult industry so max respect ...I personally think that your private life has to be private...keep away all the negative things around you ..I am sure you are able to love deeply and be loved with the same intensity...Best wishes for your future...
