Editing Jenna Jameson (section)

=== 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"/>
