Editing Jenna Jameson (section)

== Career ==

=== Early ===
Jameson 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 {{convert|5|ft|8|in|cm}}.<ref name="Papermag" /><ref name="ReviewJournalShowgirls" /> She was hired at [[Disneyland Resort]],<ref name="Smith Apr 2004" /> but she left after two months, stating concerns over the schedule and salary.<ref name="January" />

Her boyfriend Jack encouraged her to apply for jobs as a dancer,<ref name="Grigoriadis" /> and in 1991, though underage, she began dancing in Las Vegas [[strip club]]s using a fake identification.<ref name="Profit" /><ref name="AskMen" /> After six months, she was earning US$2,000 per night, before graduating from [[Bonanza High School]].<ref name="Profit" />

Her first stage name as a dancer was "Jennasis",<ref name="ReviewJournal" /> which she later used as the name of a business that she incorporated ("Jennasis Killing Co.").<ref name="WIPO" />  As for picking her permanent professional name, she said, "I had to come up with a good name.  I didn't want a porno name.  So I sat down, opened up the phone book and thumbed to the J's, cause I wanted it to match my first name."  She saw 'James', but rejected "Jenna James" because it "sounds too porno".  Right under that was 'Jameson' which struck her as being the name of [[Jameson Irish Whiskey|the whiskey]] she likes and thought "Ok, that's perfect."  That night at work she saw her brother and asked him what he thought of the name "Jenna Jameson".  He said, "I'm drinking Jameson right now."  And the name stuck after that.<ref name="Profit" /><ref name="Metacafe" /><ref>{{cite episode |title=Jenna Jameson |series=E! True Hollywood Story |network=E! Entertainment Television |date=2003 |season=7 |number=37 |minutes=22}}</ref>

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 (magazine)|Penthouse]]''.<ref name="January" />{{sfn|Jameson|Strauss|2003|pp=99–107}} After her photos had appeared in several men's magazines under various names, she then stopped working for Randall, feeling Randall was "a shark".<ref name="SalonBookReview" />

While in high school, she began taking drugs&nbsp;– [[cocaine]], [[Lysergic acid diethylamide|LSD]], and [[methamphetamine]]&nbsp;– accompanied by her brother (who was addicted to [[heroin]]<ref name="Smith Apr 2004" />) and at times her father.<ref name="Higginbotham" /> 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 {{convert|76|lb|kg}}<ref name="PsychiatricServices" /> 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.<ref name="Higginbotham" />

Jameson says that she started acting in sex videos in retaliation for the infidelity of her boyfriend, Jack.<ref name="January" /> She first appeared in an erotic film in 1993, a non-explicit [[Softcore pornography|softcore]] movie by [[Andrew Blake (director)|Andrew Blake]],{{sfn|Jameson|Strauss|2003|pp=132–135}} with girlfriend [[Nikki Tyler]].<ref name="Papermag" /> Her first pornographic movie scenes were filmed by [[Randy West (actor)|Randy West]] and appeared in 1994's ''Up and Cummers 10'' and ''Up and Cummers 11''.<ref name="AskMen" />

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, Los Angeles|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."<ref name="Hustler" />

Jameson got her first [[breast implant]]s on July 28, 1994, to enhance her stripping and movie careers.{{sfn|Jameson|Strauss|2003|pp=169–170}}

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."<ref name="Papermag" /> Her first heterosexual scene was in ''Up and Cummers 11'' (1994).{{sfn|Jameson|Strauss|2003|pp=137–158}} At the beginning of her career, she promised herself that she would never do [[anal sex]] or [[List of sex positions#Multiple penetration|double penetration]] scenes on film.<ref name="Grigoriadis" /> Instead, her "signature move" was [[oral sex]], lubricated with [[saliva]].<ref name="AskMenInterview" /><ref name="Salon2" /> She has also never done any [[interracial pornography|interracial sex scenes]] with men (despite that category's runaway popularity during the 2000s).<ref name="Bridge" />

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.{{sfn|Jameson|Strauss|2003|pp=309–311}} Her first movie after that was ''Silk Stockings''.{{sfn|Jameson|Strauss|2003|pp=316–320}} Later in 1995, [[Wicked Pictures]], a then small pornographic film production company, signed her to an exclusive contract.{{sfn|Jameson|Strauss|2003|pp=341–351}} 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."<ref name="Higginbotham" /><ref name="SalonBookReview" />

The contract earned Jameson US$6,000 for each of eight movies in her first year.<ref name="Profit" /> Her first big-budget production was ''Blue Movie'' (1995), where she played a reporter investigating a porn set; it won multiple [[AVN Award]]s.<ref name="AskMen" /> 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|Fans of X-Rated Entertainment (F.O.X.E.)]] Video Vixen award. She was the first entertainer to win all three awards.<ref name="AskMen" />

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.<ref name="Salon1" /> Her husband Jay Grdina has said that she earned as much as $25,000 per night dancing.<ref name="WallStreetJournal" />

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.<ref name="AmericanSexStar" />

In January 2008, Jameson confirmed she was retiring from pornographic performances<ref name="XFanz2008"/> and has since said that she "won't even do a ''[[Maxim (magazine)|Maxim]]'' cover".<ref name=HuffingtonPost/>

Jameson's first appearance at an adult-entertainment event since her retirement was at the 2013 [[Exxxotica]] [[New Jersey]] convention in October.<ref name="Exxxotica"/> On January 15, 2014, [[Fleshlight]] released Jameson's signature [[artificial vagina]].<ref name="Rodriguez 2014"/> Jameson was also the [[master of ceremonies]] for the 2014 [[XBIZ Award]]s on January 24.<ref name="Miller 2013"/>

=== Business ventures ===
Jameson and Grdina formed '''ClubJenna''' as an Internet pornography company in 2000. 

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&nbsp;million in its first year. It was the best selling and best-renting pornographic title of its year, winning twin AVN Awards.<ref name="JJJBio" /> 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.<ref name="WallStreetJournal" />

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.<ref name="Raw Nerve" /> ''[[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."<ref name="nymag n_9524" />

In 2005 Jameson first directed a film, ''The Provocateur'', released as ''Jenna's Provocateur'' in September 2006.<ref name="Directorial Debut" /> 

ClubJenna was run as a family business, with Grdina's sister, Kris, as vice president in charge of merchandising.<ref name="Smith Apr 2004" /><ref name="Hoovers" /> 

Jameson also capitalized on merchandising herself. Since May 2003, she has been appearing on a {{convert|48|ft|m|adj=on}} tall billboard in New York City's [[Times Square]] promoting her web site and movies.<ref name="Smith Apr 2004" /><ref name="JJJBio" /> The first advertisement displayed her wearing only a thong and read "Who Says They Cleaned Up Times Square?"<ref name="NYDailyNews" /> There is a line of [[sex toy]]s licensed to [[Doc Johnson]], and an "anatomically correct" Jenna Jameson [[action figure]].<ref name="Higginbotham" /> She stars in her own [[Adult video games|sex simulation video game]], ''Virtually Jenna'', in which the goal is to bring a 3D model of her to orgasm.<ref name="VirtuallyJenna" /><ref name="Wired" /> 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 (boutique)|Colette]] boutiques.<ref name="Brandweek" /> Her film and merchandising success enabled her to attain her goal of becoming the top porn star in the world.<ref name="Oprah" />

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.<ref name="AVNClubThrust" /><ref name="Times" /> By 2006, ClubJenna administered more than 150 official sites for other adult entertainment industry stars.<ref name="Hoovers" />

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.<ref name="East Valley Tribune" /> 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 dance]]s, the dancers' main source of revenue.<ref name="Economist" /><ref name="SFGate" /> 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.<ref name="AboutPhoenix" />

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.<ref name="VividClubjennaBowl" /> It featured a lingerie show, but no planned nudity or sex acts.<ref name="UPI2" /> When first announced, the party caused controversy with the [[National Football League]], which did not sanction this as an official [[Super Bowl]] event.<ref name="Farhi Jan 2006" /> For 2007, Jameson signed up to play quarterback in the [[Legends Cup (LFL)|Lingerie Bowl]], but retired due to her insurance company's damage concerns. She instead acted as commentator.<ref name="SportsIllustrated" />

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.<ref name="MarketWatch" /> On November 1, 2006, Playboy renamed one of the [[Spice Network]]'s [[pay-per-view]] channels from The Hot Network to ClubJenna.<ref name="AVNOct2006" />

=== Books ===

Jameson's autobiography, ''[[How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale]]'' was published in 2004. 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]]. The autobiography also won the 2004 "Mainstream's Adult Media Favorite" [[XRCO Award]] in a tie with [[Seymore Butts]]'s ''[[Family Business (American TV series)|Family Business]]'' TV series. It was translated into German as ''Pornostar. Die Autobiographie'' in November 2005,<ref name="AutobioDE" /> and Spanish as ''Cómo Hacer El Amor Igual Que Una Estrella Porno'' in January 2006.<ref name="AutobioSP" />

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.<ref name="Stern Mar 2014" /> It does not omit sordid details, describing her two rapes, drug addictions, an unhappy first marriage, and numerous affairs with men and women.<ref name="SalonBookReview"/> The first-person narrative is broken up by personal photos, childhood diary entries, family interviews, movie [[Screenplay|scripts]], and [[Comics|comic panels]].<ref name="Reuters" />

The autobiography publisher, [[Judith Regan]], also served as executive producer of a [[tie-in]] television news special, ''Jenna Jameson's Confessions'',<ref name="Confessions" /> airing on [[VH1]] on August 16, 2004, one day before the book's launch.<ref name="ConfessionsAiring" /> 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".<ref name="CNNMoney" /> Jameson's suit claimed that the A&E deal preceded the ReganBooks contract.<ref name="Grossberg Apr 2005" /> 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.<ref name="Wyatt Dec 2006" />

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]].<ref name="NYDailyNews20070330" /><ref name="Boston.com" />

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.<ref name="Johnson 2013"/>

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.<ref name="ComedyCentral" /> Also in 2002, she appeared in two video games, most notably voicing [[Candy Suxxx]] in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]''.

Her performance won the 2003 [[G-Phoria]] "Best Live Action/Voice Performance Award – Female".<ref name="GPhoria" /> 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.<ref name="Medscape" /> In 2003, Jameson appeared in two episodes of the [[NBC]] prime-time television show ''[[Mister Sterling]]'' as the girlfriend of a political financier.<ref name="Papermag" /><ref name="JJJBio" />

Jameson was featured prominently in ''Samhain'', a low budget horror film in which she starred with other pornographic actresses including [[Ginger Lynn Allen]].

==== 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.<ref name="BaltimoreSun1999" /> The campaign was joined by parents and Christian [[American conservatism|conservative]] groups, and Abercrombie removed it from shelves in 2003.<ref name="ChicagoSunTimes2003" />

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."<ref name="AskMenInterview" /> 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&nbsp;... it's a once in a lifetime thing."<ref name="JJDiary" /> In the end, her side won the debate 204 to 27.<ref name="Papermag" />

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 (commentator)|Bill O'Reilly]] of [[Fox News]] in an editorial called "Using Quasi-[[Prostitutes]] to Sell Sneakers", calling pornographic actors inappropriate role models for teens.<ref name="OReilly" /> In response, ''[[The Harvard Crimson]]'' proposed a boycott of O'Reilly and Fox News.<ref name="HarvardCrimson" /> Jameson herself sent a sarcastic email to the show, writing:
{{Blockquote|text=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.<ref name="Slate" />
